VETS MUST PROVE GOOD RISKS FOR
 BUSINESS LOANS
e Recommends Passage of Extinguishmenf of
 Aboriginal Rights Bill

Robert E. Ellis, chairman of ths Territorial Veterans Board which today ended its six-day meeting in Juneau, spoke this noon on the general policies of the Board be- fore members of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce at their regular luncheon meeting.
 MT. Ellis said that the three-and- a-quarter million dollars which the board is authorized to loan will be dispensed as a revolving fund and given out only after careful study and consideration in the case of each applicant.
 Veterans must not be deluded to think that all they need are ideas. " he said. We can only lend up to 90 percent of the total value of each property or business venture --and that only after the idea is approved as sound and worthwhile
 The veterans are the future business men of Alaska and must be given every chance to succeed as such,' he said. The amount of money borrowed through the Board is only start, and in many cases will seem mighty small peanuts to the owners after they have been in business several years.
 Aboriginal Rights Bill
 Preceding MT. Ellis talk, Cham Der members voted to send letter to the House Committee on Terri tories recommending enactment of a bill providing for the extinguish- ment of aboriginal rights and claims to lands, submerged lands and waters, including claims of exclu- sive rights of fishery.
 Sections and 3 of the Bill drawn up by the Chambers Legislative Committee, headed by Howard Stabler and including H. B. Foss and Allen Shattuck, read as fol- lows:
 Section 2. That all aboriginal
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-05-09

rights and claims of aborigina rights, within the Territory, country and adjacent islands, and the in- land and tide waters thereof, known as the Territory of Alaska, are hereby forever abolished.
 Section B. That all individuals families, clans, communities, tribes and nations having aboriginal rights as hereinbefore defined, with in the Territory of Alaska. shall be entitled to have and be paid just compensation therefor by the United States upon the establishment of such aboriginal rights, and the just value at the time of taking and eX- tinguishing such rights, in the manner hereinafter provided.
 The High School Band, under the direction of Joseph Shofner, band leader, played five selections as a special part of todays program. The final number feature the three trumpeteers", Bob Sanford, Elwin Wright and Bill Sperling.
 Three new members were intro duced to the Chamber. They were: Peter F. Gilmore, Jr., Alaska Sal mon Industry, Inc; Tom Stewart, and Jack Glover.

Warehouses damned A
Annual Sales Begin On
Georgia Market

VALDOsTA, Ca, July % -W,D-
Warehouses in South Georgia and
North Florida were jammed Tues
day night with thousands of pounds
of tobacco and growers expected
that opening of the flue-cured auc-
ton of tobacco Wednesday would
bring higher prices than a year ago
because of the lack of OPA ceilings.
From Abel to Vidalia and from
Bailey to Waycross, growers
brought tae golden leaf into II
humming market towns, anticipat-
ing one of the highest prices in his
tory for superior quality tobacco.
Pessimism Vanishes
Pessimism which pervaded the
warehouses and drying sheds six
weeks ago in the wake of rain-de-
layed planting and flash attacks of
blue mould has disappeared. Leaf
damaged by blue mould is expect
ed to sell only two per cent below
last years average.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture estimates that the 1916 crop
will be smaller than the 125, DOC, 00C
pounds produced last year but
farmers expected a better price
on good quality to make up the
difference.
T. W. Allen, of Creedmor, N. c.,
a director of the Flue-Cured Tobac-
co Cooperative Stabilizing corpora
ton, said growers were assured of
prices of at least 80 per cent of
parity. He claimed that the corp

chases where prices fall below 80
per cent of parity, which is esti-
mated at $500 per hundredweight.
Collect Difference
Tobacco bought by the corpora
ton will be redried, given a govern
ment grade and stored. Later, if
the tobacco is sold for more than
the stabilizing price, the grower
will collect the difference after
operating costs are deducted.
