HE REJECTS LARCEpART
 OF CLAIMS
Each Petitioner 10 Have 190 Acres of Southeast
 Alaska, However

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Claims of Southeast Alaska Indians to ex- elusive rights in about 3,339,00O acres of land have been largely re- jected by Secreary of the Interior Ickes.
 He also turned down their peti- tion for exclusive rights to fish in certain open ocean waters with val uable salmon fisheries.
 His decisions, announced Satur- day, upheld the Indians claims to 273,000 acres, or approximately 19O acres for each petitioning Indian This land is adjacent to their vil- lages of Hydaburg, Kane and Kla- voc.
 Ickes said these acres have "re- mained in the actual exclusive pos session of the village for the 6l years" since the passage of legisla- tion protecting their ancestral pos sessory rights.
 The order, substantially affirming the opinion of Judge Richard H Hanna of New Mexico, appointed ir 1914 to hear the case, is subject tc rehearing or modification on peti- tion filed before August Is.
 While the decision rejected tht ocean, water claims and most of the land claims, it did.
 1. Allow claims with respect tC the right to hunt, fish, trap anc gather wild produce in common with other persons in the greater DOT tion of the area claimed, so long as such areas remain in public owner ship.
 2. Recognize that where native occupancy has been continuous anc exclusive in certain beaches, sub merged lands, inland waters ano bays adjacent to land continuously and exclusively occupied, such uss and occupancy is protected by law.
 8. Conclude that the policy ol reorganizing aboriginal possessory rights where native possession has been continuous and exclusive applies as well in Alaska as in the United States.

DE GAULLE UNDER FIRE
 IN FRANCE
May Resign or Continue Fight on Constitution
 al Referendum

PARIS, July Political obsery- CTS speculated today whether Gen De Gaulle would resign as head of the French Provisional Govern ment as the result of sharp rebuff administered to him last right by the Consultative Assembly which rejected overwhelmingly his plans for a Constitutional Refer endum.
 After long and acrimonious de- bate, the assembly turned down by a vote of 210 to 19 the Govern ment's proposal to hold a referen- dunn during the October national elections to determine whether the electorate favored a return to the Third Republics 1875 Constitu- ton.
 The assembly then adopted, 18t to 45, Left-Wing counterproposal already condemned publicly by De Gaulle, proposing election of a Sovereign Unicameral Legislature with Representative of Frances Colonies particip; Aing.
 During the afternoon session, De Gaulle had told delegates he would stick by his guns. and many con strued this as a threat either tc resign or to force the dismissal of some members of his Cabinet.

 BE N C RU N DOWN, LUz0N
Arrogant Japanese Gen eraI Hunted as Common
 Criminal by Tanks
By Russell Brines

Associated Press War Correspon.ent)
 WITH THE U. s. FOURTEENTH ARMY CORPS, IN NORTHERN LUZON, July BOA personal war between Japanese Gen. TomoyuH Yamashita and American and Fili- pino forces, fought in an area so high that clouds often interrupt combat dominates the final three pronged campaign to eliminate 24,COO Japanese on Luzon.
 A total of 12,226 counted enemy dead in the first 27 days of July testifies to bitterness of this con- flict. It is characterized by the terrain, which It. Gen. Oscar w. Griswold, Commander of the Four teenth Corps, termed the most rugged he ever encountered.
 "It won't be over for us" Gris- wold said, until the Japanese sur render, are killed, or retreat so far into the hills that they no longer are a military factor
 Over the entire battle looms the once- arrogant Yamashita. The con- queror of Singapore and perhaps six of his general officers now are hunted like common criminals in the center of rapidly-closing trap some 32 miles north of Baguio.
 Americans believe all of these officers, including Yamashita, still are on Luzon, living in filth and forcing their troops and Japanese civilians caught with them to con- tinue resistance.
 Yamashita is believed to be in the center of the strongest, most fully organized pocket of Japanese resistance remaining on Luzon. An estimated 10,700 Japanese are trapped in approximately a 20- mile wide stretch of towering mountains between highways and il, north of line between Senipsip and Kiangan.
 Japanese casualties in the Philip pines rose to 437,828 today as Gen. MacArthur announced from Manila that 4,477 additional enemy bodies had been counted during the week and 587 captures had been made.
 He said American casualties for the week were 34 killed and 73 wounded.

WASHINGTON - Real facts in the resignation of Henry Morgen- thau as longest consecutive Secre- tary of the Treasury in history are as follows:
 Morgenthau had tip that Judge Fred Vinson might be appointed as his successor few months later, certainly before the end of the year. So he went over to the White House to get the thing strengthened out Morgenthau told Truman that he would be glad to stick around until V-J Day, but that it was very difficult for him to work eff fectively with rumors constantly circulating that he was going to be replaced.
 That's all right" replied the President, "Ill deny them.'
 "Ill believe you,' returned Mor- eenthau, but unfortunately the public won't"
 He had in mind the frequent Truman denials that Stettinius resignation would not be accepted
 Tn order to quiet these rumors, Morgenthau persisted, "I'd like to have something from you in writ ing"
 Well, I'll have to think that over" spared Truman.
 There's nothing to think over, countered the Treasury Chief After all, I've been around here long enough for people to know me. So if you have to think i
