Statistic Slayer
 Hunted
Killer by Knife Subject of Search by Hundred
 Policemen

WINDSOR, Ont, Aug. 20 - A Hunt for a sadistic killer, blamed for at least two knife slayings in 10 days, was intensified today by more than 100 Windsor policemen and Provincial authorities.
 Windsor residents locked them selves in their homes in fear the killer would strike again soon Police worked 12-hour shifts in the hunt for the slayer, called by De- tective Inspector Duncan MacNabb a "sadist of the worst type - a maniac"
 Tension was heightened by the discovery of a note Scrawled on the wall of a downtown public building and signed "Civilian-Sergeant." It said the writer was discharged from the U. s. Army for killing a Germany prisoner, was known as "Slasher Evans" would never be caught, and would choose a girl for his next victim. It bragged that the killer had talked to police at the scene of the latest staying.
 Police believed the note might be the work of crank, but it was communicated to U. 8. authorities for further investigation.

suade such a view The terms of the treaty neither affirmed nor ex- tinguished aboriginal rights. On this phase it merely said that The uncivilized tribes will be sub- ject to such laws and regulations as the United States may, from time to time, adopt in regard to aboriginal tribes :.
 Neither did the Act of May IT, 1884, in the light of subsequent events, deter settlers and industry from making the reasonable con- clusion that they were acquiring holdings and general use of the sea, unencumbered by aboriginal rights of exclusive use and occu- pancy. Neither did the act itself charge the Department of the Interior with making any in vestigation regarding the Alaska Indians, as result of which, to quote your tSecretary of the In terior's) decision, Only now, 50 years after enactment of the mea- sure, is the Department of the In- terier attempting to ascertain what their claims were"

that, as cited in your opinion, there are a few casual references in laws and cases, as well as in the Treaty of Cession, to Alaska tribes. Tribes or bands are, of course, the basis upon which the conception of ab original rights is founded But the evidence adduced at the hearing fails to show the existence of tribes or bands claiming dominion of large areas, as was the case in the States. It only showed that groups have lived in villages and that families have claimed places not areas) such as the mouths of particular streams. This is one good reason why Congress has never made treaty with any Alaska Indians, or put them on reservations as wards of the Government, as has been the case in the States. There were no tribes in the usual sense to war against or make treaties with,
 Congress has not recognized such families as tribes, or if it did, the tribal rights were extinguished at distances from the villages. When restrictions were put on placing barricades and nets at the mouths of streams, the Indians were deprived of their aboriginal fishing methods, and were arrested the same as whites for violations of the law. Instead of dealing with them as ward groups, Congress made them individual citizens with equal rights.
 Congress- the Attorney General cites, "has carried out basic pat tern of complete dominion over the lands and waters of Alaska in laws applicable to citizens generally, and adverse to the retention of exclusive aboriginal tribal use and occupancy of large areas of water and land. The Metlakatla Reservation is no exception on the subject of aboriginal rights, as it was especially considered and established upon an uninhabited island by Congress for Canadian Indians who were allowed to move there and take over.
 No Treaty Provision
 We are all aware that the na- tives have been pushed aside by the onward rush of civilization, without their wishes having been consulted. This was not so be- cause of moral dereliction on the part of individual white pioneers, but because of the social forces and necessity that made white men surge with aggressiveness into new country. The white mans predominance soon came to be taken as a matter of course, and he soon came to regard the many phases of his economic and indus trial activity as founded on vested rights. There was nothing in the Treaty of Cession Q86O to dis

torney General Rivers declared, in conclusion:
 It should also be noted that the Thlingit and Haida Claims Act of 1885 postulates the loss of Indian rights with indemnity in cash instead of recreating exclusives for natives and thereby turning back the clock of history 75 years
 'The foregoing shows why the great majority of Alaskans feel that a monumental fraud would have been worked upon them if, after all these years, an admins trative department of the Govern ment prevails in a policy of segre- gation and reservation without a mandate from Congress. Even the Alaska Native Brotherhood has gene on record against reserva- tions.r

Rockefeller Defends
Trade Agreements
AT House Hearing
BY J. A. OLEARY.

A larger volume of internationa
trade will be essential to an expand.
ing economy in this country aftel
the war, Nelson A. Rockefeller, as.
sistant Secretary of State for Latir
American affairs, told the House
Ways and Means Committee today
in supporting renewal and broaden
ing of the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act.
Mr.. Rockefeller defended the pol
icy of helping the industrial develop
ment of Latin American countries
contending that as this increased
the earning power of the people OF
those coutries, it would increase
their buying power from us.
Representative Knutson, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, questioned
United States aid in the develop
ment of steel industry in Brazil
and asserted it would have an ad-
verse affect on Pittsburgh.
Rockefeller Disagrees.
Mr.. Rockefeller disagreed, con.
tending that such industrial devel-
opment would expand our foreign
trade.
Representative Robertson Demo-
crat. of Virginia. defending the trade
agreement policy, said that in 1885
the 400 ,000,0 people of China had
an average annual income of only

Joan Barry Affair 10 Cost
Chaplin Over 100000
py the ASsoc,.t,s pr.r

! By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 19.-Charlie
Chaplin's love affair with Joan Berry
will cost him, as matters stand today,
more than 100000.
A Superior Court Judge yesterday
ordered Chaplin to pay SIS a week
for the support of Joan's 18-month-
old daughter, Carol Ann, until she is
21-altogether $76,050. A jury had
ruled that Chaplin is Carol AIMS
father.
The 56-year-old actor-producer
also was directed to pay Joan's law
yers 5000 in addition to q like Tee
he paid her previous counsel.
The $75 q week, for Carol Ann Is
what he has been paying voluntarily
since last June.
And there was $1,000 he handed
over for medical care and other ex-
penses pending adjudication after
Joan filed her paternity suit.
These sums do not include what
it cost Chaplin to defend himself
successfully-against q Mann Act
indictment charging that he took
Joan to New York and back.

If industrial development in Chins
increased their buying power.
Mr.. Rockefeller replied 1t seemed
to him that would be the case.
Under questioning by Mr.. Knutson
Mr.. Rockefeller testified that over
five-year period this Government
spent about $147,000, 900 to improve
cultural and commercial relations
with Latin America, and insisted
the results in cooperation during
this war have more than justified
the small amount of money spent. .
Half Spent on Information.
Mr.. Knutson developed that about
half of that expenditure was for in
formation activity.
When Mr.. Rockefeller started to
explain the figure represented only
about SO cents per capita, Mr., Knut-
son retorted, There are too many
items of so cents and as a result
the American people are groaning
under the tax load"
With at least two more weeks of
testimony still to be heard, close
committee vote on the trade agree
ments program appeared likely.
With the 10 Republicans on the
25-man committee presenting a solid
opposition front, the outcome hinges
on the degree of Democratic soli-
darity. A detection of three on the
Democratic side would pave the way
for notifications in the administra-
ton bill, which proposes to extend
the act three more years, with au-
thority to make further reductions
in duties already cut in half.
Both Sides Optimistic.
In this early stage of the battle
both sides are making optimistic
claims. Mr.. Knutson, the commit
tees ranking Republican, predicted
three Democrats would join his
group against the bill as it stands.
Mr.. Robertson said he would be sur
prised if one Democrat voted with
the Republicans in committee.
Former Secretary Of State Hull,
whose health forced. him to give
up the State Department helm,
told Chairman Doughton in a let
ter late yesterday that the ap-
preaching peace cannot be lasting
unless it embraces plans for eco.
nomic prosperity and improved
standards of living throughout the
world.

TURKEY SHOOT AT BLOWING
ROCK HELD BY FORESTRY
OFFICIALS

National forest officials spon-
sored a Thanksgiving shooting
match for turkeys and chickens
at their camp at Blowing Rock
Wednesday. A large number of
local citizens were out and the

says that he found evidence of
many deer in that territory and
that he saw a herd of five at one
point. He is convinced that there
are many deer in that section.
He says that dogs are the great
est enemy of the deer there, but
that the same trouble was en-
countered in the High Knob
area of Wise and Scott counties.

den in Cumberland Mountain,
with headquarters at their camp,
