 That Congress has never reeog- uized any aboriginal claims is proved by the passage of much leg islation dealing with Alaska. which would have extinguished such prior rights if any had existed
 Margold Theory
 The next step that of making the Margold theory effective. was to include a provision in 6he Alaska fisheries regulations, issued by the Bureau of Fish and WudHfa of the U. $. Department of the Interior. that if any natives thought that fishing operations interfered with their aboriginal rights they should file claims with the Secretary of the Interior. These regulations were purported to be issued pursuant to a federal statute. the purpose of which is the conservation of fish. and has nothing to do with the ad- indication of Indian rights or the settlement of Indian problems.

 After the native claims were re- eeiyed by the Department of the Interior, the secretary appointed an examiner to hold public hearings in the three Indian villages. A subse- quent hearing was held at Ketchi-

THE PROPOSAL TO RETURN
 ALASKA TO THE INDIANS

(On next Wednesday, November Is, a hearing will be held in Seattle on the proposal of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes to recognize aboriginal rights of the Indians of Alaska and to turn over a substau- tial part of southeastern Alaska to them for their sole use and Occu- pancy. Not only Alaskans but many individuals and organizations in the states are protesting this inexpli- cable land grab" Among the lat ter Is the Seattle chamber of com- meree, which has passed a resolu- tion Of protest and in addition pre- pared a statement to back up their action. This statement is worthy of consideration by everyone who is looking to the best interests of AL aska, and we print it in full.)
 The threat to Alaska involved in the plan designed and being put into effect by Harold L. Ickes, Sec retary of the Interior, to take q substantial part of Alaska from the white people and turn it back to the Indians is real and serious. The proposal already encompasses one third of southeastern Alaska, the most populous section of the Terri tory, including 20O0 miles of coast

kan. These took place in September 1914. A final hearing is scheduled for Seattle on November 15. The examiner will probably make rec concentrations, but Secretary Ickes plans to make the final decision himself.

 waters, the fishery, forest. agricul-

 which have been made to them. And. if the Secretary is successful in applying this policy to south eastern Alaska. it is equally logical
 that it can be extended to include all of the rest of the vast territory.
 At first Alaskans and those in the States interested in the Terri tory did not recognize the full sig nificanee of the departments pro posal and regarded it as being too r Il l O Il s Bo deserve credence. However, now that the plan and it's objectives have been unfolded. and the broad extent and effect eN- plained by the attorneys for the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the In- teriOr department. at the public hearings held last month in Alaska. on the claims of three Indian groups, Alaskans have been thor oughly aroused. They are making vigorous protest against this huge land grab and are bitterly opposing the expansion of bureaucratic con troI of Alaska. In the effort to block the Interior departments pro gram, the people of Alaska are seeking the cooperation of all those in the States who wish to see the territory go forward.

Reservations

Secretary Ickes has shown his in tentions of favoring the Indians in two ways: In l943, under an Act of Congress of 1886 Section 35S
 (a) Title 4S, U. s. Code), he creat- ed six Indian reservations. One Of these includes Karluk, on Kodiak island, one of the most famous fish ing districts in Alaska; and an other, the Chandalar. lying north of Fairbanks, contains I,40S,000 acres for the use of less than 50 Indians. It is reported thar the department has additional reservations in con temptation. The other way was pue- suant to an opinion prepared by Nathan R. Margold, solicitor for the Department of the Interior, in February 1922, on request Of Secre- tary Ickes. This opinion expounded the theory that the native Indians possessed certain aboriginal rights, based on the use and occupancy of the land and the adjacent waters by their ancestors. In other words, because the Indians lived and

200 Enemy Troops Capture Tiny IsIet . Marine De-

U. s. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD QUARTERS AT PEARL HARBOR, Nov. 1.-Two hundred Japanese troops occupied tiny Ngeregong Island, eight miles northeast of Am- erican-held Peleliu in the Palau group, last Tuesday night, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz has announced.
 The small United States marine patrol which had been on the island for reconnaissance was quickly evac- uated and the enemy subjected to ships fire and aerial bombing and strafing, Nimitz said. The marines were removed aboard the Lois with out casualties.
 The Japanese probably came in small boats across the eef-infested Denges Passage from Ell Malk Is- land, two miles north of Ngeregong which is triangular and only mile on each side.
 The purpose of the enemy occu- patton was vague, probably for re- connaissance. The Japanese could lombard Peleliu and other Ameri- can Palaus from Ngeregong, but would have difficulty in moving ar tillery to the tiny island. Moreover, it would give them little advantage over Ell Malk.

 The Allied communique described the gains as important" and said that southwest of Forli, British troops had pushed across the Mon- tine River in many places and had advanced into the foothills.

Hand to Hand Fighting Underway in Strategic
 Hungarian Rail City

MOSCOW, Nov. IA. Russian forces have driven into the import ant rail city of Jaszbereny, 37 miles east of Budapest, and are engaging the enemy in hand-to- o-hand fight ing, front line dispatches said.
 The Germans are reported to be hurling in numerous new tanks and scores of anti-tank weapons in an attempt to check the Soviet drive to outflank the Hungarian capital. The Nazis are offering the most de- termined armored resistance since the big tank clashes in which they were beaten back in the Debrecen area last month.
 The Germans admitted that So- viet units have penetrated Jaszber- eny, but asserted the attack was hurled back.
 Red Army columns, striking from the northeast after crossing the Tisza River, have apparently made solid contact with the main forces of Marshal Malinovsky's Second Ukrainian Army and are aiding in drawing the assault line closer to Jaszbereny from the east, west and north.
 Moscow dispatches made no men, tion of the Russian forces previously reported on the outskirts of Buda- pest.

 REVEALED

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA Emulating the Germans at Lidice, Japanese have wiped out at least two villages of the Netherlands East Indies with virtually their entire populations, headquarters of Neth- erlands forces in the Far East an- nounced today.
 A village near Medan, on Sumat- ra, was soaked with kerosene and petrol and burned to the ground. Any inhabitants who tried to escape were shot with machine guns.
 A village on Java was set afire by incendiary bombs, and machine guns also were turned on those trying to flee.
 Other atrocities were described in a document, Japanese Atrocities in Occupied Netherlands Indies" It listed cases of savage mistreatment of prisoners of war and civilian populations.
 Some people were burned alive; some were forced to drink soapy water until they were bloated, and then soldiers jumped on their stom- achs until the water spouted from their mouths. Prisoners were sus- pended by their feet and their heads were bumped on the ground Others were forced to stand with their heads thrown back and their eyes opened to the blazing sun.
 Javanese women who resisted the advances of Japanese soldiers. the document related, were bayonetted through the breasts.
 Prisoners. the document said, are on a starvation diet; they have in sufficient clothing to protect them from the weather and no medical attention is provided.
 "As result, the death rate in prisoner of war and internment camps is unbelieyably high" it said
