TITLE TO INDIAN LAND, S.E.ALASkA,
 UNDER DISCUSSION

Solution of Indian land claims in ! Alaska suggested by the Alaska Ma [ tive Brotherhood and incorporated ; in a bill introduced by Delegate ! Bartlett was considered last week by ! the Indian Affairs subcommittee of the House Pubic Lands Committee. Appearing as the first witness,
 Assistant Secretary of the Interior Warner w. Gardner vigorously en-
 dorsed the bill as one providing a means to resolve the state of un- certainty surrounding land titles in
 Alaska and especially in Southeast 1 Alaska.
 The bill would authorize the Sec retary of the Interior to enter into agreements with Alaska natives of Indian blood for absolute surrender to the United States by said natives
 Of all or any part of their legal and equitable rights to lands and waters
 in tine said Territory not actually needed for their own use, upon such terms as may be deemed just by said natives and beneficial to the United States"
 Support for the bill was likewise
 offered by James E. Curry, attor-
 ney in Washington for the Indian
 villages of Southeast Alaska. Op- position was presented by B. Frank Heintzleman, Regional Forester of Alaska, and w. O. Arnold, Managing Director of Alaska Salmon Indus tries, Inc.
 The measure provides that any agreement made must have the ap-
 proval of Congress, and the manner
 and means of payment for absolute
 surrender will be determined by
 later act of Congress.
 The bill also authorized an ap- oropriation of S50,000 for the costs
 of negotiating the agreements, in
 cluding a per diem of S10 in lieu
 of subsistence for committees of
 the native tribes or communities in
 interest and their attorneys.

STOCK QUOTATIONS

NEW YORK, June 18.-Closing quotation of Alaska Juneau mine stock today is 51z, American Can 93, Anaconda 33h, Curtiss- Wright Az International Harvester STE, Ken necott 43A New York Central 1873, Northern Pacific ITS, U. s. Steel 66R, Pound $4.02a.
 Sales today were 910000 shares.
 Merrill-Lynch averages today are as follows: industrials 174.95, rails 4529, utilities 34.39.
 Stocks rallied today and made up for yesterdays losses. The general average reached new high for more than two months, thanks to strength in railroad issues which responded to improved earnings for May.
 The rail reports stood out in the favorable news items and Wall Street experts were at loss to ac- count for the rally.
 Wall Street anticipated labor bill veto with the Congress overriding it, but this like the tax bill veto has been discounted, according to market men.
 Bonds rose with stocks and com- mcdlties generally were strong with corn deliveries at new sensational highs and cotton at it's best prices in five weeks, reflecting inflationary forces of government purchasing.
 Late in the day persistent weak ness in American Telephone & Tel egraph which lost more than 3 points to new low tempered the rise elsewhere and many leaders backed away from their best levels.
 Strength in Chrysler and tremen- dous activity in Packard featured the motors.
 Packing shares were active and strong, reflecting anticipation of higher earnings. Tire shares were given a whirl and gains of more than a point appeared in Goodyear Goodrich and U. s. Rubber.
 Rails registered gains ranging to more than point in a long list of leading issues. Utilities were firm late in the day. Steels were firm most of the day. Oils were mixed.
