 The regulations, which provide that claims along navigable waters must be spaced 30 roads apart, have been detrimental, Bartlett said in a statement.
 The Department has heretofore refused to consider applications for setting them aside although the law provided it could do so, he said. Under an order signed by Chap man all applications will be con- sidered immediately, and acted upon promptly" he added.

Campbell told her, it was revealed on cross examination, that he had earned the money working at Hoonah and intended to use 1t to set up in business for him. self here in Juneau.
 She told of last seeing Campbell that Sunday afternoon, December 9. l945, at Blackies Bar here, where Campbell had bought drinks for her and her aunt, Rose Saunders; later leaving. at about 4 o'clock, accom- panied by two sisters, Susanna and Helen Jackson.

 GERMAN AFFAIRS
Former Military Govern ment Official Gives Out
 Straight Talk

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-A form er military government official contended today that an attempt is being made to freeze Russia out of a search for German assets in such countries as Spain and Argentina.
 The contention was voiced to the Senate War Mobilization Subcom- mittee by Russell A. Nixon, former Acting Director of the Division of Investigation of Cartels and Ex- ternal Assets, Office of Military Government in Germany.
 Nixon told the Senators in testi- niony made public today:
 q charge elements in both the U. S., British and French Foreign Offices with consciously maneI.ver- ing to prevent all four (occupying) powers from being involved in the search for external assets in the neutral countries because that would lay bare the Fascist or reaction army regimes il countries such as Spain, Portugal. Switzerland, Swe- den and Argentina and would re- veal all the elements of collabora- tion of certain interests in the Ali lied countries with these regimes.
 Upsets Applecart
 Such genuine quadripartite ac- ton would completely upset the applecart for plans of compromise regarding Gerfnany's external assets in the interest of trade and com inercial advantages, and in the in- teles: of avoiding the creation of too radical regimes in the future '
 The witness had further criti- cisms of the way German affairs are being administered. He declar- ed:
 l. The war industry potential of I. G. Farben, giant German chem ical trust, has not been eliminated as it was ordered to be.
 2. No decentralization law has been promulgated.
 B. The denazification program is incomplete.
 Nixon told the Senators that "our drive to divest Germany of it's ex- ternal wealth has begged down and Is profoundly jeopardized." u

She left there with him at about that time.
 Eddie" Schwaesdall told on di- rect examination that he first came to know Meeks at Gulkana on August 5, 1945; that they left there together for Anchorage on October 19. Meeks had, for safe keeping, about S150 of the witness money and a bit more of his own money. At Anchorage, the money was divid- ed, Meeks returning Schwaesdall's true portion to him, after which both bought clothes and Meeks, in addition, purchased watch for "his girl"

 After making the purchases, the witness said, Meeks told him: T haven't much money left; I don't know how I'm going to get to Ju- neau" and asked to borrow $60. Schwaesdall loaned Meeks the money and has not since been re- paid.
 It was agreed that Meeks would repay the loan after getting job at Juneau.
 Cross examination by OLeary brought out that Schwaesdall had let Meeks have the care of his money because he trusted him" and that he "still trusts him" and considers Meeks an honest man." that Meeks gambled some at Gull kama, but advised the witness not to gamble or drink; that later he had written Eddie" from Juneau, ad- vising that work was scarce here and further advised Eddie" not to come here as had been tentatively agreed.
 At the time the two squared ac- counts at Anchorage, and before the $60 loan, Meeks did not owe the witness any money and had bought clothes and the watch from his own funds, also paid his own hotel bill, after which Meeks was
