Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy is: Up. 233: 1-5) Every
day makes its demands upon us for
higher proofs rather than profess
sions of Christian power. These
proofs consist solely in the destruc-
ton of sin, sickness, and death by
the power of Spirit, as Jesus de-
stroyed them. This is an element
of progress, and progress is the
law of God, whose law demands of
us only what we can certainly full
fill.

THE KARLUK CASE

The validity of the Department of the Interiors actions in setting aside vast reservations of land and water in Alaska without Congressional approval prob ably will be tested in the courts.
 The matter is being brought to head at the Karuk reservation of Kodiak Island where the fishing waters surrounding the island have been set aside by Ickes order for the exclusive use of the Indian citizens of Alaska The reservation enforced last year, mainly because the interruption in the fishing season at time when the salmon pack was being requisitioned for vital food needs was frowned upon It is also difficult to with the food situation better this year, why the matter will be pressed at this time
 Two agents of the Office of Indian Affairs have been dispatched to the Karuk grounds to enforce the reservation. This announcement came just before the opening of the season.
 At almost the same time, Frank Marshall, head of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor announced that agreement had been made with the Indians to the effect that permits would be issued to whites apparently members of the AFL fshermens union because Marshall announced in Anchorage that the controversy over as far as his union was con- cerned When the matter of the reservations was up
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-06-05

la year ago. Alaskan labor unions were pretty much unanimous in their condemnation of the exclusive privileges which the setup would offer group of citizens over another So Marshalls action seems to be reversal
 The canned salmon industry, which is interested in the Karuk because of the effect might have on the establishment of further reservations accuses Marshall of playing politics with the birthright of American citizens" and in making the agreement to fish under permits granted by the Indians has rfced the right of all fishermen, regardless of to fish in the waters below mean high tide lines
 Meanwhile some fishermen who the grounds may decide to fish without permit.
 Some believe that the canned salmon industry will attempt to secure injunction against the enforce ment of the reservation, others that this will not be done but that fishermen fishing without permits will be arrested by the Office of Indian Affairs agents
 However, since no law would be violated by those fishing without permit it is difficult to see how an arrest could be made.
 In that case, the Interior Department may have to resort to asking the for injunction which would prohibit whites from fishing in the in question:
 There is also question concerning the power of the Karluk Indians to issue permits for fishing in the reservation since if the reservation is valid whites would be barred regardless of how the Indians felt in the matter.
 The Karluk case bear watching

The Republicans in Congress Write
 Another Chapter
(New York Tirnes)

(New York Tmes)
 For the sake of the record it is important to note the action of the Republicans in the House of Repre- sentatives in the first veto of bill by President Truman.
 The issue was whether blanket exemption from the Seectve Service Act should henceforth be grant, ed to all farm workers, thereby establishing an es peciay favored group of citizens.
 President Truman properly vetoed this proposal His own party in the House of Representatives voted to sustain him in this veto by majority of 164 to 30
 And what did the House Republicans do?
 They voted 154 to 12-more than 12 to Ito over ride the veto. MT Martin of Massachusetts, Re- publican leader led the way.
 The same old stupid business goes on of looking for political advantage by voting against the Presi- dent' Now in the record of the House Republicans new item of opposition is added to a record that already includes opposition to repeal of the Arms Embargo, opposition to Seectve Service, opposition to the Hull trade program, opposition to Lend-Lease
 It is a curious thing the way Republican can- didae for the Presidency bobs up every four years and then surprised because the independent voters of the country don't rush to support the Re- publican party "on its record

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 6

WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 6
 Benefic aspects are powerful today although adverse planetary influen- ces are active. It is an suspicious date for beginnings of many sorts.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under a fortunate sway today which promises much for romance. Long partnership is pre- saged for those who marry under this configuration Little danger of divorce is indicated.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Realization that world peace de- bends chiefly on international trade will encourage great care in all con- mercial agreements but warning is given that secret pacts will cause trouble in the future.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 There is forecast of much illness this summer. Health insurance will be widely advocated. There is a sign read as promising adequate provision for medical care of citi- zens, but it will be attained only after protracted effort.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Although monarchies belong to the past, the seers prophecy that a sec- ond Queen Elizabeth will occupy the throne of Great Britain.
 People whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advance ment. Discretion and patience will be required for rapid progress.
 Children born on this day will have varied talents and splendid possibilities, but they must be wise ly guided. Geniuses belong to Gem ini.
