Seven Million Back To Civil Life In Twelve Months

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-lP)- At least seven million men in the armed services will be returned to civilian life within the next twelve months, reconversion di- rector Snyder said. He pgedicted within the next several months the demobilization rate will be stepped up to a half million men month. The current rate is one hundred seventy thousand per month.
 Army demobilization, Snyder said, will be on the same basis as formerly, which means the men released first will be those with the longest combat service and the greatest number of dependents. "The Navy plans to demobilize some of it's personnel almost i'm mediately," Snyder said.

Adm. Fletcher Lauds Alaska Servicenen

ADAK, Aug. 15- (R Vice Adm. Frank Jack Fletcher, com mander in the North Pacific, sait today in a victory statement "Wei done, all officers and men of thu North Pacific Alaskan Sea Fron tier, I assure your families a home of your part in bringini Japan to her knees has been al important one. Ours has not beer spectacular job, but those wht helped drive the invaders from the Aleutians and hammered from the sea and air at his Ku- riles' outposts worked in the vii. lawaws to prepare for future blows, now happily not needed can well be proud of the partici- pants in this victory.
 Let us celebrate this day, not in triumph, but with thanksgiving and gratitude. Let us not forget our comrades who cannot share it. The world is now at peace. Let us face the problems that will confront us with the same spirit which won this terrible war"

CREDIT DUE COLLECTIVELY

Last evening an Australian broadcast ing station was heard transmitting program during which announcements were made as to the prowess of the Roy al Australian Navy, citing the lone-wolf part it played in turning the tide of bat tie away from the northern shores of that great continent down under.
 The announcement said that the Royal Australian Navy was greatly responsi- ble for the stopping of the Japanese ad- vancing forces, which were aiming at using Australia as a springboard from which to attack America.
 These and similar statements will do more to undermine and nullify the ef- forts of the United Nations for perma- nent peace.
 A greater feeling of comradeship will be continued throughout the world if all nations, tongues and creeds would go in more for collective reasoning and take credit for being member of the world rather than as an individual.
 Some toot their horns too loudly, while others go about their work using

the same energy to advantage.
 The Australians did not win the war. Nor did the British, Russians or Ameri- cans win the war single-handed. That kind of thinking will certainly breed an other war to destroy the world.
 If peace is to continue on the earth, individual boasts such as the one men toned, cannot be tolerated.
 All nations who were united in the cause of freedom are equally responsi- ble for the victorious conclusion of the war. No matter how little or how great the part played, each was in it one hundred percent for freedom.
 As in war we were united, we must more than ever plan the future for peace as the weapons of war can surely des- troy the entire world
 Friendship and cooperation will have to be the by-words of the future, along with tolerance and understanding of the other fellows problems. You may be sure that it will be difficult at times to see the other side of the question but it must surely be done to insure world peace.
 To make it possible for all the peoples of the world to enjoy being free from hunger, want, fear, and war, there must be cooperative effort on the part of all concerned to plan collectively in peace as we have done in war. That is the only logical conclusion.
 The job ahead is one in which the eff forts of the entire world will have to be united in order to obtain the desired re- suits. The ultimate goal of the world is peace and liberty for all nations, peo- ples, tongues and creeds, therefore it is a collective job

During the hottest weather it may be more than five degrees cooler in the woods, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica. The air is also somewhat cooler above the trees, too, and this cooling influ- ence may extend as high as 5000 feet above forested areas.

SECRETARY IcKEs RULES ON INDIAN CLAIMS


 Ruling by the Secretary of the Interior on petitions involving an cestral possessory rights of Indi- ans of Hydaburg, Rake and Kla- wock in southeastern Alaska rec ognizes their right to approxim- ately eight percent of the land area claimed, and denies exclu- sive rights to the use of certain open ocean areas where salmon fisheries constitute a valuable in- dustry.
 The decision of Secretary Ickes, made public on July 29, in large measure agrees with that of Judge Richard H. Hanna, of New Mex ico, appointed by the Secretary, who held hearings in Alaska and Seattle, Washington in 1914 on the aboriginal rights petitions, the first of which were filed in 1922.
 The natives of Hydaburg, Rake and Klawock claimed approximate ly 3,339, ,000 acres in the petitions acted upon, and the decision of the Secretary gave recognition to those rights in the total of 273,OOO acres, eight percent of the total land area claimed. It is under stood that the recognized valid claims approximate 190 acres for each petitioner and comprise the areas adjacent to the three will lages which, since 1884, have been the actual exclusive property of those villages.
 The 273,000 acres embrace 101,- 900 acres for Hydaburg Indians, 95,000 acres for Klawock and 77,000 acres for Kaka.
 Secretary Ickes' ruling agrees that the Indians have the right to fish, trap and hunt in common with other Alaska citizens in the greater portion of the claimed area of 3,339 ,O0O acres while those areas remain as public lands.
 The opinion also recognizes as lawful Indian occupancy in cer- tain beaches, submerged lands, inland waters and bays adjacent to the eight percent of land rec ognized as valid Indian claims, if that occupancy has been continu- ous and exclusive.
 The decision of the Secretary in no way affects the proposed suits in the Court of Claims of the Tlingit and Haida Indians against the United States for lands or other tribal community property taken from them without compen- sation.

The Bears record for the 1945
season stands at % victories a

Elledge, Clint Skrla, ace ball hand
ler, Tony Ciskowski, Willie Stor-
