kURILE ISLANDS
 OCCUPATION WAS
 AGREED AT YAiTA
Secretary BYrnes Gi"es of- ficiaI Statement on Move
 Made by Russians

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Secretary of State Byrnes said that a secret agreement at Yalta for United States support of Russias claims to Japan's Kurile Islands was reached with full knowledge of this coun- try's military leaders.
 In response to a question at his news conference on whether that agreement had been entered into with full knowldge of the military chiefs of staff he replied yes, but added that he himself had no knowledge of the agreement until a few days after the Japanese sur render.
 l He explained this by saying that the agreement for British-Ameri- can support of the Soviet claim was reached on the last day of the Yalta conference after he had departed.
 The conference which brought to- gether President Roosevelt, Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill, was held in February, 1945. Byrnes, who was in attendance part of the time, was War Mobilization Direct or at the time.
 { Russia, at that date, had not yet declared war on Japan. , Asked what were the reasons why the Kuriles document had not been published in detail as yet, Byrnes said that he saw no reason why it should not be published now.
 The Secretary of State added that 1 the agreement was regarded by ] former President Roosevelt as a tor military secret.
 Byrnes added that he believed there was a very good reason that ' it should have been so classed. i He said that at the time of the conference it was agreed that Rus sia would eventually enter the Pac- fife war, but the Russians said that it would take much time to move i troops from the Western to the East ern front.
 Under the agreement Russia would receive Southern Sakhalin and the Kuriles, a chain of islands stretch ing aross the entrance of the Ok hotsk Sea, which laps Russia's eastern shores. It was from the Kuriles that the Japanese launch ed their assault against the Aleut- ians early in the war.

 Too many people knew us to- gether on Bataan. Too many people saw us together when he came back from prison camp last Sep tember," said Miss Oswald, civ ilian nurse.

Seeing Seals!
 H's Simple, They're There!

Strange faces seen in Gastineau Channel this week are those of hair seals. The animals have been sight ed off Norway Point, the deepest penetration of the Channel they are known to have made in many years.
 Cited as a likely reason for the unusually neighborly seal invasion is the presence of large number of herring in waters close to Juneau. Several persons have reported sein- ing herring from the Channel dur ing the past week. What brought the herring here now is not explain ed

1.-THE answer to the race ques
ton is going to be found in the
children, if you ask me-" says Ann
.Petry, Negro novelist. whose first
novel, THE Street." just publish
ed, won the Houghton Mifflin ST.
500 Award.
THE opinions of most adults
are formed and set; but the chli-
dren are different We hear a lot
about changing the reaction of
the white to the Negro. The aver
age person never stops to think
that there is a reaction of the
Negro as well. Many Negroes
openly hate the whites. You have
to convert on all sides. How can
you expect good will unless the
Negro gets a chance to know
white people and know what they
are like? AS it is now, he does not
know them.
But if the children mixed more
in schools, the two races would
know each other. They would
learn, while they are young. that
in both races there are human
beings-those who are kind, those
who are cruel, those who are ir-
telligent, those who are dumb. In
short that the other race is maoe
up of human beings Out ofsth's
