 In connection with trap sites, Secretary Ickes ruled that the na- tives' exclusive possession of such land could not be diminished be- cause the natives had long re- sented the interference of the traps and have used all the means available to them to have the traps removed. Secretary Ickes contin- ued, "The trap owners themselves recognize that license from the War Department to use particu- lar area for a trap site does not grant a permanent interest. The permits issued by the Forestry Service of the Department of Az riculture for trap tail-hold areas, are identical in this, respect, and SO specifically provide. Therefore there is no reason to modify the findings of the order of July 27 with respect to the beach and up land areas used by non-natives for tail-holds and leads. The same ruling applies to beach areas used for storage of trap-frames, an chors and other trap equipment and for cabin sites used in connec- tion with traps. All such areas may, of course, be utilized by non- natives, but only with the consent of the owners of the soil. This is the rule that applies throughout the United States to the use of land belonging to another. There is no reason to apply different rule to the possessions of Alaskan natives"

TRAVEL FOR
 DISCHARGED ALASKANS

The War Department has au- thorized the Commanding General Alaskan Deparmtent, to furnish transportation at government ex- pense, to enlisted personnel being discharged in Alaska, by use of commercial air, ground and water facilities where homes cannot be reached by government transpor- tation, according to information given Delegate Bartlett by John w. Martyr, Administrative Assis- tant to the Secretary of War.
 Delegate Bartlett has long and emphatically urged relief of the situation which found Alaskans discharged from the armed forces obliged to dig into their own pockets to pay for their fare to homes in the Territory. The Ma tional Defense Ace of 1922 limits the payment of travel expenses for discharged members of the armed forces to five cents a mile, which is far below the cost of transportation in Alaska. Delegate Bartlett has received numerous complaints from Alaskans who have had to supplement the five cent mileage allowance allotted them by paying sometimes be- tween two and three hundred dol lars of their own money to get home. This has been especially true of residents returning to such places as Shishmaref and Beaver serviced only by airplane.
 Individual relief bills will be introduced by Delegate Bartlett to reimburse residents who have al ready undergone additional legiti- mate travel expense upon dis. charge from the armed forces ! prior to the effective date of the

ABORIGINAL RIGHTS

Following renearing of the claims of the natives of Hydaburg, Klawock and Rake, Secretary 1ckes. through ruling, has recog- nzed the rights of the native will lages to eight hundred additional acres.
 This acreage includes small tracts which have continued to be used exclusively, chiefly as gar dens, smokehouses, homes and cemeteries.
 The rehearing followed the rul- ing of the Secretary last July, which gave recognition to the rights of the natives in the total of 273,000 acres, eight percent of the total land area of 3,339,000 claimed.
 However, the new ruling re- duces the original acreage recog- nized by 1120 acres eliminating exclusive native rights to cannery facility sites. In this connection, Secretary Ickes stated, "The new evidence presented by protestants concerning the use of tracts in connection with the operation and maintenance of canneries on un- patented lands clearly shows that those areas were used with the consent of the natives. There is little, if any, testimony of resist ance to the advent of the canner- ies, which, after all, meant addi- tional work and income for the local native population. Of course the extinguishment of native claims to these areas does not mean that vested rights against the United States have been ac- quired by the owners of the can neries."
 Secretary Ickes, relative to the native rights to the use and occu. pancy of beaches within the area recognized, stated, "I assume that the natives will continue to per. init reasonable temporary use by non-native seiners .. . where tha use does not interfere with theil

ASSESSMENT WORK

The period now allowable for the performance of annual assess ment work on mining claims in the United States, including Alas ka, at the present time has at least seventeen months to run, ac- cording to Delegate Bartlett in is suing the following clarifying statement:
 "The Act of May 3, l943 (57 Stat. "A; 30 U. s. C. sec 28a) sus- pended the annual assessment work provisions of section 2324 of the Revised Statutes until the hour of 12 o'clock meridian on the 1st day of July after the cessation of hostilities in the present war, as determined by proclamation of the President or concurrent reso- lution of the Congress-. The Presi- dent has issued no proclamation determining the cessation of hos tilities, nor has the Congress adopted a concurrent resolution to this effect. Were either of these actions to be taken at any time prior to July 1, 1946, the suspen- sion of section 2324 would cease to be operative as of 12 o'clock meridian on that date. This hour marks the beginning of a new as- sessment year during any portion of which the labor or improve ments required by section 2324 may be made. Hence, under exist ing law all holders of mining claims will have until July 1, 1947. for the performance of their as- sessment work, if the cessation of hostilities is declared at any time prior to July of this year. Should the declaration be postponed until a later date, the time for the per- formance of assessment work would, under the provisions of the act of May 3, 1943, be extended for at least another year beyond July 1, 1947."
 Section 2324, now suspended, re- quires not less than $l00 worth of labor to be performed or improve ments aggregating such amount to be made each year on each min ing claim located in the United States, including Alaska.

hood that has been overlooked by the police, kindly notify superinten- dent William J. Roach of the Waterbury Police Department and everything possible will be done to correct the situation.
 It should be kept in mind that the shortest route to school is not always the safest one. Children on the outskirts of the city who may have to travel on foot over high speed highways are asked to walk on the left hand side of the road, facing traffic. This gives them an opportunity to observe the cars coming towards them, but in all cases they should walk on the shoulders of the highway or path Ii there is one. Never walk on the travelled portion of the highway.
 If your children ride to school on a bus, caution them about hanging out the windows, or walking in front of the bus after they have alighted from it. Wait until the road is clear before attempting to cross. If a policeman or any other person is directing traffic at or near your school the children will help a great deal by waiting for signals to cross the street.
 The children in the older age group can help the younger ones by setting a good example, crossing at corners, not between parked cars, paying especial attention to children in kindergarten. These little tots are placed in a difficult position when they are required to go out into the streets and risk their life against vehicular traffic.
 Cooperation Requested
 Lets all get together and work for safer community. We ask the motorists to be on the alert. es- pecially when the children are on their way to and from school. Ex- pect them to run out into the street, they won't disappoint you; we should drive slowly when passing through school areas. Nature has decreed that children be carefree,
 
 sometimes mischievous. Before We criticise them let's take a look back to our own childhood days.
 So, we ask the drivers to extend a helping hand in our efforts to save children from becoming in- volved in highway accidents. Cut down on your speed, increase your alertness. Most parents make it a practice of telling their children to look up and down the street before crossing. An old rule, but a very practical one is: Always look all ways before crossing street.
 In closing, a word of caution to bicycle riders. Alweys ride with the traffic, on the right hand side of the road. Never ride your bike against traffic. If your bike has only one seat, that means you cannot give anyone the privilege of riding with you. a.

School Opening Tomorrow EUOkes Appeal For Safety

With the opening of the city's schools tomorrow, It. William C. Dwyer of the Police Departments Safety Division, herewith cautions parents, motorists and children alike in regards to safety measures, that If taken, will eliminate many needless injuries and possible deaths to school children on the highways.
 By LIT. WILLIAM c. DIVER
 Tomorrow is the big day for thousands of school children in Waterbury. The doors of the schools will be open to welcome back the children after long summer vaca- ton. Hundreds of little ones will be going to school for the first time, and We are particularly interested in this group. These children will need lot of parental advice on the proper and safe use of our streets.
 The practice of taking the chil- dren to school for the first few days, that is on foot, has been found to be most successful one. The parents can, by going over the route to school with their children, point out the danger spots which exist in one form or another in every neighborhood There may be intersections to cross, exceptionally heavy traffic, bridges to cross, open brooks or dams, high tension wires and a hundred and one other haz- ards too numerous to mention.

UNToToke Up Dispute 
 Ukroine Moy
 Get Hearing
 With U. s. Aid

United Nations Headouarters Lake Success, N. Y, Sept. 3 = (UP) The United Nations Security Council resumed it's dispute today over the Soviet Ukraine's charges against Greece and Britain.
 Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmltrt ManuilSki was on the side- lines with suHtcases full of material he hopes to present to the Council as an indictment of the Greek monarchy and its ties with Great Britain.
 Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro- nnyko faced determined British and Dutch opposition to placing the Ukrainian complaint on the agenda.
 The Russian was thwarted in his attempt to bring Manuilski before the Council Friday to make his charges in advance of the plebiscite in which Greeks Sunday voted to retain their monarchy. British dele- gate Alexander Cadogan and Dutch Delegate Eelco Van Kleffens, aided by United States Delegate Herschel V. Johnson, kept Manuilski from appearing before the Ukrainian complaint was placed on the agenda.
 The British and Dutch seemed de- termined to keep the council from taking up the complaint, but John son planned to vote to hear the complaint. The U. s. vote which helped prevent Manuilski's appear ance Friday was aimed not at block ing the complaint, but at blocking the Ukrainian's appearance before the Council had voted to take up the complaint. :.
 The U. S. delegation has almost committed itself to policy of fav- bring the consideration of all com- plaints filed with the Council. Cado- gan and Van Kleffens are opposing the Ukrainian complaints consider atlon, however, on grounds that 1t was f1led in improper form and con- talns wild accusations" designed to annoy" Greece and Britain, whose troops in Greece have drawn Rus sian criticism since the end of the war.
 The Ukrainian complaint charged that British forces were ''the prin- cipal factor" behind what it called a threat to peace in the Balkans. It alleged that the policy of the Greek monarchistic government toward political and national minorities in Greece and toward neighboring AL bania was likely to foment war.
 The British have implied that the Soviet republic filed its complaint as part of 8 campaign to push the British out of their last toehold in the Russian-dominated Balkans.
