Indian Affairs Committee
 Takes Up Alaska Controversy

WASHINGTON, Jan 4 = Repre- sentative Hal Holmes, Washington Republican and member of the House Indian Affairs Committee, recommends that the controversy over Alaskan Indian fishing rights be settled by compensating the h. dians
 The fishing industry has been in a state of agitation since Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes un- dertook an investigation of the claims by Indians that commercial fishing by non-Indians was inter fering with their rights.
 Ickes wrote to Chairman OCon- nor of the House of Indian Affairs Committee, stating that he be llieved the investigation of the In dian and Eskimo claims in Alaska must be cleared up as a preliminary to an orderly development of the Territory. If it should be neces- sary to establish reservations for the Indians, he said, he was con- fident that such reservations would be less in proportion than the territory reserved for Indians in comparable areas in the mountain states
 Holmes, however, says that the possibility that the reservations would include tidelands and fish ing areas would mean a complete change in the economic status or the Indians, but serious threat to the S40,OO0,000 salmon canning industry.
 Holmes characterized the placing Iof Indians in control of fishing areas as ''unwise and unwarranted Ieven if a licensing system is pro- vided to police the industry
 He told the committee it would appear more practicable to com pensate the natives for their rights either by invoking the claims act or permitting the Indians to sut for their compensation.

JESSE JONES LAUGHS

Friends of Jesse Jones have been chortling gleefully over the way the President has kept Vice. President Wallace dangling on the line for months with Cabinet job just out of reach, promising him everything but never quite coming across.
 They say it is one of the greatest now-you-s it-now-y you -don't-see-it acts ever performed in the White House.
 Wallace, who practices what he breaches when it comes to ideal ism and never considered himself a practical politician, went into the recent campaign without any prom ises from the President. He asked for no job in advance, but went down the line anyway. Political leaders admitted his was one of the most effective jobs of the entlre election. Without the segment of liberal votes which Wallace swung, Roosevelt might not have won.
 Since then the President has been very shrewd in inviting Wal lace around to lunch, has asked his advice on all sorts of things

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - Add postwar plans: Aviation education that will dip down into the grade schools and see junior college and college students racking up solo hours in the air.
 For a number of reasons, mainly shortages of facilities and - in the upper teen-age brackets-shortages of students and instructors, the pub lie education system isn't so far along in avia ion education as (naturally) the manufacturers would like to see it.
 There is, however, big ground swell going on that practically makes certain that in the postwar period the three Rs will become three Rs and an A.
 These movements. under way to intensity the schools program to give every junior college and college graduate a chance at being a pilot and every elementary or high school graduate an equal opportunity to have at least the essentials of ground schooling, are worth noting
 CD Nine States have definite postwar education programs planned for their public school systems. They are Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Colorado, Connecticut. Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, and Tennessee. The District of Columbia and New York City have independent pro grams. Oklahoma is reported to be working on such program.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The question of whether 4-F's should be drafted for war jobs or Army service went unanswered at Secretary of War Stimson's news conference.
 The Secretary was asked about James Byrnes' recommendations on physically deferred men to be called upon to don uniforms or overalls.
 Stimson said that there would be no comment now and at the same time Byrnes was advised by the Railroad Brotherhoods' weekly pap CT, Labor" to nurse his political wounds in private" The publication contcnded Byrnes was exaggerating the manpower production problems.

When Prayer Fails?

Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest mountains
in the world, young Englishman
named Edwin J. Dingle found the
answer to this question. A great

the strange Power that knowledge
gives.
That Power, he says, can trans
form the life Of anyone. Questions,
whatever they are, can be answer
ed. The problems Of health, death,
poverty and wrong. can be solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He acuuir-
ed wealth, too as well as world
wide professional recognition. Thirty
years ago. he was sick as a man
could be and live. Once his coffin
was bought. Years of almost con-
tinuous tropical fevers, broken bones,
near blindness, privation and dan

him, physically and mentally.

THE SUCCESSION BILL
(San Diego Uni0n)

1t is somewhat surprising to learn that
the Democratic majority in the senate
has turned thumbs down on Mr. Tru-
mans proposed presidential succession
bill and that the measure is regarded by
the privileges and elections committee as
dead" TEe explanation of this atti-
tude OF the ma jority senators probably
lies in the change in the state depart
ment. With Mr.. Stettinus eliminated as
a possible President, and Mr.. Byrnes
perfectly satisfactory as a regular party
man, the colleagues Of the latter doubt
less feel that the situation is we'll in

The adverse attitude Of the majority
senators, Of course, ignores the merits Of
the Presidents proposal - that the

Vice-presldent, assume the presidency.
is a sound and dmocratic method Of sue
cessiOn. The speaker Of the house, in
accordance with tradition must be a man
Of large experience and long service. He
must submit himself to his constituents
for approval or disapproval every two
years. He represents the ma Iority in the
house of rcpreS tntatiVeS, which is the
body closest to the people and which
most accurately reflects current popular
opinion.
The secretary Of state is not elected
but appointed. lie may have had no eX-
perience Of value IN government and no
general knowledge Of governmental af-
fairs. The nature Of his official labOrS
has to do only with foreign affairs. AS
Mr.. Truman pointed out, succession of
the state department head to the eXecu-
tive post enables a president to choose
his own possible successor-a procedure
certainly repugnant to democratic gov
ernment and American tradition.
If the senate persists in ignoring or
opposing the Presidents recommends
tion in the proposed succession bill, it
will be generally adjudged guilty Of
cheap political temporizing and negll-
gence of a vital, urgent matter.
