HEARINGS CONTINUE

Department of Interior hearings on alleged abor- ieinal claims of Southeastern Alaskan Indians con- tnue in Ketchikan at the taxpayers expense and nobody seems know yet just what the outcome will be- whether Secretary Ickes rules in favor of the Indian petitioners or against them.
 One thing seems be clear at this stage, however and that that the aboriginal claims are recognized there can be no distinction between patented and unpatented lands in spite of the misleading pre- hearing notices which named only unpatented lands. Richard Hanna, the presiding officer, admits that this is the case concurrng with a cannery attorney who happened to bring the matter up.
 So it is clear that if claims are recognized and the Indian petitioners granted exclusive use and occupancy of the lands claimed all Aaskans will get it in the neck This may be sad awakening to many who have taken not too much interest in the matter, believing that only the large fish packers would be affected In addition to the fishermen who will be deprived of their fishing grounds many small prop erty owners of patented land will find themselves deprived of their property.
 To date no Alaskan official has raised voice in protest of the land grab We believe that this is a sorry thing There should be some intervention on the part of people of Alaska Certainly all of our officials are not responsible to Boss Ickes.
 Up to this time, however the only intervention has been on the part of three Congreessmen from Outside

corporation of the New York branch of America First, and Dulles now explains that member of the firm drew up the incor- poration papers.
 However, Dulles himself stepped in to argue the only case brought against the U. s. Government by one of the dictator countries. He represented the Banco de Espana, controlled by the Franco regime in Spain, in a suit against the Fed eral Reserve Bank of New York to recover silver which the U. S.. Treasury had bought from the Loyalist Government in Spain.
 The U. s. Treasury paid S6,500,- GOO for the silver, but later Francois bank retained Dulles to get it back. Dulles lost the suit in the lower courts, then appealed to the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals, which also turned him down.
 Those are some of the lesser known experiences in the varied life of the man spoken of as next Secretary of State. (More will be told later).

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 2e

I FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
 Not an important day in plane tary government Women are under stimulating and inspiring aspects.
 HEART AND HOME: After the long, hard pull of war work wo- men will long for the peace and comfort of a home. Under this favorable configuration they will emphasize family ties and enjoy reunions. Girls may expect ardent suitors and many widows will be- come engaged. The urge for com panionship will be strong among persons of all ages.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: After Mo- vember, speculation on large scale is foreseen. Warning is given that among small businessmen risks should be avoided. Large corpora tions will engage in major develop ments of natural resources at home and abroad and will invest in novel industries.
 TIONAL ISSUES: Public health should be of general con- cern through the Autumn, when there will be epidemics affecting the stomach and lungs Great in- crease in nervous fnaladies is fore cast. Mental instability will arouse anxiety as the effects of strain at home as well as dangers and in- juries in the war become more and more manifested.
 INTERNATIONAL FFAIR s: The United States is to gain added world respect through it's splendid representatives on countless battle fields, the seers predict. Changes in existing immigration laws will be unwisely demanded, as persons of many nations seek entrance to the United States.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- gress. Lending and borrowing will be particularly unlucky. Children born on this day prob ably will be kindly, generous and sympathetic. They should have first rate intelligence.

DULLES INTERNATIONAL
 CONNECTIONS

Almost any lawyer, especially one connected with so large a firm, has to take all kinds of cases, rep resenting all views and walks of life. However, aside from the big utilities, which will be discussed later, many international cases, some connected with the dictator countries, seemed to gravitate to- ward John Dulles.
 Thus the record shows him as arguing personally for Dictator Franco of Spain; having legal re- lations with Count Rena de Cham brun, son-in-law of Laval, now ar rested; discussing plans whereby Swedish SKF could protect their U. s. plant from seizure as alien property; and representing such clients as the J. Henry Schroeder banking firm, E. K Halbach,. chief owner of General Dyestuff, and N. V. Phillips Gloelampenfabrieken of Eindhoven, Holland
 Some of these cases originated from Dulles early work in Europe when he was counsel to the Am erican Peace Commission under his Uncle, Secretary of State Lansing.
 This was how he happened to represent the Merton family of Germany, whose property had been seized by the Alien Property Gus todian in the last war. This was the famous case involving Jess Smith and Harry Daugherty which sent Thomas w. Miller, Alien Prop erty Custodian under President Harding, to jail when Richard Merton paid s44l ,OO0 to John T. King, COP national committeeman from Connecticut.
 Dulles was in no way involved in this phase of the case-in fact, knew nothing about the bribe and had stepped out before it was ar ranged. He had been retained by Richard Merton, who had repre- sented Germany at the Paris peace conference, to try to get his Ger

Dulles, however, explaining that Westrick had represented Sullivan and Cromwell in Germany some years before, contended: T don't believe he has done anything wrong. I knew him in the old days and had a high regard for his integ- rity"
 It was through his law firm that Dulles got mixed up indirectly with the America First Committee. A client asked for advice on the in- business with him, Capt. Torkild Rieber, was forced to resign as head of the Texas Company be- cause of the public clamor.
