SHIPS WARNED OF JAP
 MINES FOUND IN SEA LANES

ASTORIA - Merchant shipping in the North Pacific and off the Washington and Oregon coasts was alerted this week for wartime Jap anese mines floating in the sea lanes.
 One mine was located 25 miles off Yaquina Bay Ore, loo miles south of here, and the Coast Guard Cutter Benham was dispatched to shell and explode it. A Navy mines disposal officer was due at Heceta Head lighthouse further south where two mines washed ashore Monday.
 Ten mines have grounded or been sighted on the northwest coastal areas in less than a week.
 The Japanese explosives have tloated with the Japanese Current across the North Pacific to Amer ican waters, paralleling busy coast wise shipping lanes southward from British Columbia, Seattle and Portland.
 Three mines were detonated within 12 hours Saturday on the Oregon coast = at Gearhart. Tiua- .mook and Depoe Bay
 Rear Admiral George H. Fort. Commandant of the 18th Naval District, Seattle. reported merchant vessels have been lucky in past weeks to have escaped collision with the mines.
 We had the same situation last fall. The undiscovered mines break loose from their moorings during storms and show up here after floating for many months" he said.

visions of the Tongass Timber Act (which stipulates that all receipts from such sales, as contracted by Che Forest Service, be held in trust pending determination of Indian ownership rights.
 No bids were received when the Southeastern Alaska timber at Thomas Bay was offered for sale by the Forest Service in October Several companies, however, are known to have expressed interest in the February auction.
 The villages of Rake and Ka- saan were said by Mrs. Bronson to have signed separate contracts for $1O,0OO,O0O each with e Timber Development Corporation. She said the lumber is to be cut from lands which official findings of the Interior Department affirm ed as belonging to the Rake and Kasaan natives.
 The New York concern, she said, will finance the installation of capital equipment by the two In- dian municipalities, and will pay for the lumber as it is cut. The Indian villages will employ Indian and white lumberjackS- pre- ference for Indians at regular union wage scales, and will share in the profits of the enterprise.
 Mrs Bronson said the contract ing company has not disclosed is plans for mill construction Watts estimated it would cost $3O,0O0.e GOO or $35,O0O,0OO to establish a Southeastern Alaska pulp plant on a commercially profitable scale.
 Mrs. Bronson said other Indian municipalities in Alaska are negot- iating agreement similar to those of Rake and Kasaan. There are II villages in the area, but the Inter .ior Department has ruled on the rights of only three
 Darcy McNickle. attorney for tife Office of Indian Affairs, sa1G former Secretary of the Interior Ickes ruled in 1945 that the neigh boring tribal villages of Rake, .Hydaburg and Klawock owned slightly less than 3OO,OOO acres m the area out of 3,OOO,0OO which they had claimed by right of ab- original use and occupancy
 McNickle added that the Agri- culture Department has refused to recognize this ruling by another Department
 "The Alaskan Indians wired Secretary of the Interior Krug a month ago that they intended 70 go ahead with the sale" McNickle said.
 "The Department wired back asking them to withhold action while we tried to work out a req Sonable degree of protection of h. dian rights under the Tongass act.
 McNickle said the Interior De- partment has not yet seen the con- tracts nor been informed of the sale. He said Indian villages have , egotiated contracts for canneH s and other developments, in the past, but have never before ven tured to sell timber on a large scale.

''From story based on a book of

read the book you may get the
feeling that the movie-author
didn't. This is because the hero
in the book a lecherous old man
of sixty winters named Ollie,
has become a clean-cut young
stripping of twenty known as Ed
ward. Furthermore, Edward
eventually marries Ruth (who
was called Myra in the book
and never expected any legal
sanction in the first place..
Well, actually the chap who
wrote the. movie version didn't
read the book because there
just wasn't a single copy in the
Hollywood lending library at
the time.
Song titles are another fine
source of movie ideas. In this
case the scenario writer doesn't
even want to see the song lyrics
because he knows they consist
of a few rhymed sentences from
which he must try to wiring two
hours of steaming dialogue.
