By Remhcrt James

MOSCOW, May 17.-The govern ment newspaper Izvestia charged
 today that American representa- l tives at the recent meeting of the joint Russian United States Com mission for Korea had tried to open path for reactionaries to
 capture power over the Korean people.
 The mee-ng broke down after six weeks. it said, because the Am
 ericaEs failed to show an under standing Of the meaning of the Korean decisions reached at the Moscow conference of the Foreign
 Ministers last December. (Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge, U. S. Commander in Korea, has offered to resume the joint commission negotiations, held at Seoul, Korea). A 3,000-word article signed "B. K" was the first comprehensive account in the Soviet press about the meetings which started March | 20.
 It said the Americans had pro posed calling off the meeting af- ter deadlock developed over their proposal for ending the SovietAm- erican zonal demarcation line at the 38th parallel and of unifying Korea economically.
 The Soviet delegation rejected the proposal on grounds that such question would have to be raised first and discussed by the Koreans themselves and their provisional government after it's formation, and that the joint commission lacks authority to engage in questions about the economic ratification oi Korea"

HOW STATES HANDLED GRANTS OF LAND

A precedent respecting na- tional forest areas was estab- lished at the time of admission of Arizona and New Mexico. By act of Congress the two states were granted sections 2. 16, 32 and 36 in each township, but with the provision that where such sections occurred within the limits of an established na- tional forest, they would con tinue to be administered as parts of the national forest, with part of gross national forest receipts being paid to the state annually, in proportion to the national forest area comprised by the granted sections. Subsequent ac- tion by the two states has diff fered markedly. Arizona pretty largely has allowed the granted sections to continue in their ori- ginal status, and has accepted the annual payment from the Forest Service. New Mexico, on the other hand, rather generally has traded the granted sections for sections of public domain outside the national forests, ei- ther for sale or for management as grazing properties by the state.
 The situation in these states, however, di ffers materially from that which will prevail in Alaska. It is for this reason that outright grant of some of the national forest area to the State of Alaska is suggested.
 The proposed Alaska state

actly how much of land and oth- CT resources Congress would be disposed to grant to Alaska when a statehood enabling act is ac- tually passed, the simple fact IS that no one can say at this time. It might fairly be accept. ed as a principle, however, that Congress would be no less gen erous to Alaska than it has been to other states. There is no req son why Alaska should be unique among all states, for instance, in that the fisheries would not be placed under state control, as some have contended. If Con- gress should attempt to with hold the fisheries, or make a spe- cial case out of Alaska in some other respect, Alaskans need not accept the gift of statehood, and undoubtedly would reject it at their election on ratification of the state constitution.

US. FOREST LAND IS SPECIAL PROBLEM

A special situation unique to Alaska has to do with the sta tus of national forest land. The two national forests in Alaska contain 20,850,OO0 acres and em- brace, virtually in toto, all the land in two of the most promis- ing areas, Southeastern Alaska and Prince William Sound.
 The difference between Alas, ka and any of the states in this regard is that there the national forest reserves are intermingled with other forested land, either public d m a n or privately owned, to which the individual can obtain title. Tn Southeastern Alaska there is no other avail able land. It is all in the na- tional forests. On Prince Will liam Sound the entire coastal area, which is most choice from the standpoint, for instance, of
 
 tourist development, is in re- serve and cannot be obtained by purchase or otherwise. It is true that such of this land as is classified as agricultural in char acter is subject to entry, but practically none of it is. It is true that the prospective inves- tor in tourist lodges and camps could get a permit to use some of this land, but these permits are good only for IS years and can be revoked at any time. The fact is that tourist development has not taken place under this system.
 Alaska might well ask the fed eral government to include in it's grant of lands to the new state substantial areas from the forest reserves. Such a grant would serve two purposes: it would promise the new state a valuable source of revenue through sale of land and timber, and it would open to private ownership n d development areas now held completely in federal control.

STATES HAVE CONTROL TO EMILE LIMIT

Complete regulatory powers over the fisheries in each state and offshore for three nautical miles reside in the states them selves. This extends to the con trolling of gear, the limiting of catches, the designation of open seasons, the regulating of the amount of fish which may be used in reduction processes, and all related matters.
 Alaska, with statehood. will assume similar all-inclusive au- thority over her fisheries.
 Authority over game and
 fur also will pass 10 inc new
 staie. The federal govern
 ernment will retain jurisdic-
 ion over such matters only in

NO GUARANTEE
 OF US. SPENDING

The evidence on this point, that the Natives of Alaska will continue after statehood to be a federal responsibility, apparent ly is conclusive.
 It has been complained that there is no guarantee in the pro- posed statehood bill as to how much money of the Office of h. dian Affairs will spend in Alas ka after statehood, with the irn- plication that some such assur- ancc ought to be incorporated in the bill. Obviously, that can not be done, first because Inc Congress which provides for Alaska's admission cannot bind future Congresses in the matter of appropriations, and second, changing conditions might also invalidate any guarantee or com mitment,
 The third point might be add ed that the statehood enabling act should not be expected 10, and cannot possibly, cover every matter about which some eau tious Alaskan might entertain a doubt. It would be a strange statehood enabling act indeed which went into such matters as how much should be paid for the tuition of Eskimo children, what percentage basis should apply in admitting Alaska 10 the Federal Highway Act, just what constitutes an Indian res ervation, whether rent might be charged state agencies for inc use of federal buildings, what should become of proceeds from the seal rookeries, how aborigi- nal rights might be disposed of, and who gets the boats and bunkhouses used by the federal government in enforcement of the fishery and game laws. These are matters for separate legis- lation or for administrative ac- ton within the framework of existing laws.
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07
SPECIAL STATEHOOD SECTION

hood enabling act provides with respect to the fisheries and with respect 10 fur and game, as fol lows:
 All of the property of the United States situated in the Territory of Alaska used in connection with the conserVa- ton and protection of the fish cries and of the fur and game of Alaska, except technical and research plants and es- tablishments and appurtenant property, are hereby trans ferred and conveyed to the State of Alaska. The State of Alaska shall possess and ex- ercise the same jurisdiction and control over the fisheries and the fur and game of Alas ka as are possessed and ex- ercised within their respective territorial limits including ad- jacent waters, by the several states.
 This bill is not even before Congress at the present time, let alone enacted into law, but t probably furnishes a reliable guide to the kind of fishery ar rangement which would be pro vided with statehood.
Kodiak mirror., 1946-09-07

penditures by the federal gov ernment on behalf of Indians in the two states totaled S1O,S51,- . 934 in that year. Since 1912, the year of admission of the two states, the Indian population has increased 82 per cent; federal expenditures for Indians have in- creased 1150 per cent.
 Inquiry submitted to state of- ficials in Arizona brought the reply that:
 After statehood the Indians were provided for on the same basis as in territorial days.
 New Mexico officials report:
 The new state never did take over any of the Indian Departments activities.
 Montana, which upon a0nnis- sion had 1871 Indians, reports:
 The state has never at any time provided money for the support or aid of the Indian population of Montana. These people are under the jurisoic- ton of the federal govern ment. All trials concerning Indians are held in federal courts. The laws and regn- lations relating to the Indians are the same in any state or territory.

monument areas and as re-
 spects migratory waterfowl.
 It has been asked whether the Alaska Railroad would pass to the state. There is no reason to believe there would be any change in the status of the rail road, unle les s the new state should wish to take it over and operate it as a state venture. The proposed enabling act is silent on the subject, except to say that all property in the actual posses sion of and used by the United States shall remain in federal control.
 Another permanent concern of the federal government is the Native population. The welfare of the Natives, in Alaska as in the states, is a peculiar claim up- on the federal government. This responsibility in Alaska will not be lessened or materially affect ed by statehood. As a matter of policy, if not strictly of treaty stipulation, the Native races of Alaska, Indian, Eskimo and Ale ut, have always been treated and considered by the federal gov ernment just the same as the In dians of the states, in that their support and care is a federal and not a state obligation.
 With apologies for laboring a point should be self-evident, the following information is given with respect to the provision made by the federal government for Indians in Arizona and New Mexico before and since state hood. 12if1lAlk
