'ALEUT LANGUAGE BOOK ISSUED BY
 INTERIOR DEPT.
Is Fruit of "Sutlession ol Studies" Over Period
 of 125 Years

WASHINGTON, Jan 14..-- The Interior Department announces publication of the first book to deal with the language used by na- tives of the Aleutian Islands
 Secretary Ickes said the book, The Aleut Language released to- day under Interior Department sponsorship, is the fruit of "a suc- cession of studies by three excep- tional scholars over period of nearly 125 years"
 They We're Ivan Veniaminov, a Russian Orthodox priest in Alaska who was the first to reduce the Aleut tongue to writing, Richard Henry Geoghegan, Irish linguist and philologist, and Miss Frederick I. Martin of New York, who inher- tied Geoghegans material on his death in 1943 and who edited the final text.
 The Aleut language provides an alphabet in Roman characters sim liar to those used in English, Ickes' announcement said, "al- though, due to unusual diacritical signs, it was necessary to make new designs and castings of several of the letters that are distinctive from any other known language.
 "The Aleut language is in struc- ture purely Eskimoid, although 1t is so strongly differentiated as to be almost distinct tongue. It is considered of exceptional value to philologists, archeologists and an- thropologists in studies of the early migrations of the first people to come to the American contin- ent from Asia by way of the Bering Straits and the Aleutian Islands" :"

Lands
 In Sfafes Gone; vets
 Told 10 Come 10 Alaska

WASHINGTON, Jan. HEX seryicemen who are bent on home stealing are being advised to try their hand in Alaska.
 General land office records show that while Alaska still has public land galore, the day of good free land for farming in tEe continental United States apparently is gone. Virtually all the land for farming except that which may be included ill reclamation projects-has been taken. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1944, only 284 home stead claims were recorded.
 All in all. the public's land hold ings, exclusive of forest reserves and parks, have been whittled down to mere 168 8,236.447 acres, an area approximately the size of the state of Texas. For the most part it is now used for grazing, or leased for mineral rights.
 After the Civil War and again af- ter the first World War large num- bers of soldiers homeseteaded on the public doman, but the General Land Office doesn't expect any such rush this time.
 At the same time. another public lands question appeared to te shap- ing up in Congress
 The Senate Public Lands commit tee has before it bill to transfer lo,000,00o acres of public domain in New Mexico to the state for the benefit of certain of it's institutions. Indications are that the committee will act upon the measure shortly after the holiday recess, with pros- poets that it will be amended to allow for similar transfers in other states.
 Demands are even being made by some western interests that all pub lie domain lands be turned over by the Federal government to the var ious states.

ELECTION IN JAPAN
 IN MARCH
Three New Cabinet Officers Invested : Criticism
 Is Expressed

TOKYO, Jan. 14-The investiture of three new cabinet ministers - to comply with General MacArthur's directives-kept Emperor Hirohito up until midnight last night, but the unappeased Tokyo press leveled fresh barrage of criticism today at the aged, ailing Premier Kijuro Shidehara
 The investiture, delayed 12 hours without explanation, came shortly after MacArthur's announcement that he had authorized the holding of a national election any time af- ter March IS.
 Sempachi Soejima replaces Ken 20 Matsumura as Minister of Agri- culture and Forestry in the cabinet, ireshuffled to comply with MacAr- thurs political-purge directives; Chuzo Mitsuchi replaces both Home Minister Kentijiro Horikiri and Transportation Minister Takao Tan aka; and Yoshishige Abe succeeds Education Minister Tamon Maeda.
 Other new faces: Chief Cabinet Secretary Wataru Narahashi and Akiyochi Tajiri, his deputy.
 All metropolitan newspapers re- mained bitterly critical, and some said others of the old cabinet may also be replaced, including San kuro Ogaswara, Minister of Com merce and Industry.
 The national election has been tentatively scheduled for late this month, but Kyodo news agency had forecast a two-month postponement in order to allow the wedding out beforehand of ultra nationalist poli- ticians who were the targets of Mac Arthur's recent 'pudge' decrees.
 The policy-making Far East com- mission continued it's investigation of the occupation scene today, and scheduled discussion of war crimes matters with Allied legal authorities on January 24.
