day that three British officers of the
Indian army were killed recently in
the Punjab, where communal war
fare has been reported worsening.
One of the officers was killed at
Amritsar, sacred city of the Sikhs,
while defending a refugee train
from attack, the announcement said.
Such attacks on refugee trains and
motor conveys, moving between the
East and West Punjab Hindu
India and Moslem Pakistan), were
blamed by an Indian government
spokesman last night for the de-
teriorating situation.
Tens of thousands of west-bound
Moslems have been plodding
through Amritsar, but the movement
has been halted temporarily because
of mounting tension, the spokesman
here said.
Another British officer was am
pushed and shot dead while en- route
from Jullundur in the Punjab to
Ankodar, the Lahore announcement
said. A third officer was shot to
death while crossing a bridge in

THOMAS HESITATES

But Senators Wherry of Nebraska and Taft of Ohio refused. By that time they were certain Thomas would not fly back.
 This question of whether Thomas would or would not fly back from the International Labor Conference m Geneva figured largely in the remainder of the veto fight.
 Senator Pepper was determined to delay a vote until Thomas could get back. Other Democratic leaders were not so determined.
 Finally on Saturday afternoon Pepper discovered that, despite pre- vious promises, no one had tele- phoned Senator Thomas. Pepper concluded that Gael Sullivan, Di- rector of the Democratic National Committee, had been kidding him when he said that a Constellation was available to fly Thomas back.
 Meanwhile, up in New York, May or William ODwyer was trying to arrange a special train to bring the ailing Senator Wagner, father of the beleaguered Wagner Act, to Washington on a stretcher.

rights and rights of occupancy of different tracts of land which were never extingushed by Russia, and that when Alaska purchased by the United States it was taken subject to these rights
 After a serie< of Department of Interior hearings in Alaska nothing much seemed to have been ac- compshed Ickes resigned and was succeeded by Julius A. Krug. who apparently believes that the mat ter may be settled by legislation.
 However last February, the San Francisco United States Court of Appeals, in another case, held that whatevar original Indian title" any Indians in Alaska may have had were extnguished by the Treaty with Russia in 1867
 This it would seem to us, would knock the theory of aboriginal rights out.
 The court did point out that individual Indians who held property Ii any when the Act of 1884 was passed would be protected in their rights just the same as any white who held property at that time In other words Indians and whites alike would have the right to ultimately acquire title to the land then in their possession.
 It would be up to the Indians who now claim the timberlands sought for pulp mill development to prove that they or their ancestors in possession of the lands in 1884 and that they had not abandoned them
 At present the lands are worth nothing Under the resolution now proposed the Forest Service could make contracts with logging and pulp mill concerns and they would be held in pending final set tlement of the land claims So if it is determined that the Indians do the land. at later date they are simply cutting their own threats now by blocking the development of the pulp industry at time when conditions have never been more favorable And they are doing Alaska great deal of damage
 It seems to us selfish, unwise, and shortsghted position to take for all concerned.

Peace Comes to Steel

Following the negotiation of two-year wage con- tracts throughout the steel industry, Phillip Murray, CIO President has sent letters to all the 5000 locals of the United Seeworkers flay forbddng strikes in the coming two years. That is a welcome indication that in one of essential industries there is an excellent chance for uninterrupted production.
 Performance may fall short of 100 per cent com pliance with the order Misunderstanding lead to brief soppages Local union leaders sometimes act unwisey, in defiance of the rules laid down by na- tional leadership Yet it quite clear that the groundwork has been laid and with great care, for long period of stability and peace the steel front
 The matter is peculiarly important because of the central position of the steel industry in our whole industrial complex The construction industry whose labor force is not well disciplined as that of the steel industry has troubles enough without having to knock off periodically for lack of steel The motor industry operates always at the mercy of steel Any sackenng of the flow of sheets will tie the great assembly lines of the Detroit area-and many other automotive centers-in few days or at most weeks.
 If a similar two-year period of peace and produc- ton could be assured in coal mining, the over all outlook would be materially improved. Unhappiy, the leadership of the mine workers has been subject to whims that defy any long-term contract Yet the example of the steelworkers may be of value in pointing the way industrial peace in other essential lines of production.

THE PULP RESOLUTION

News dispatches received here from Washington yesterday lefi little doubt the stand being taken there by & delegation Of Southeast Alaska Indians vho went back to testify the resolution which vould open the forests Of this 10 pulp timber development.
 The Indians are opposing the resolution and their suggestions for amendments do not meet with the approval of the Interior Agriculture and Justice De r,srtu-uts sponsors of the resolution. This should be enough to hang the bill and prevent its passage at this session thereby running Alaskas chances seain of getting this new industry started.
 Thus the matter of the Indians aboriginal claims to most of Southeast Alaska looms up again as the biggest stumbling block to further industrial develop rnent of Alaska and it should be apparent once and for all that little or nothing be accomplished until this matter is settled for good.
 Meanwhile. it is interesting to note that while the Department of the Interior apparently was one of the moving forces behind the timber resolution, the same department working through the Alaska Native Service promoted trip to Washington for the four Indians who are back there tossing in the monkey wrenches.
 It is also interesting to remember that all of this aboriginal rights promoted in the first place by the Department of the Interior under Harold L. Ickes.
 Nathan Margold solicitor for the Department, wrote an opinion which said that at the time Alaska was occupied by Russia the Indian had certain fishing

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY

Meanwhile, another strategy con- ference was being held inside the Democratic National Committee. It was Senator Hatch of New Mexico who sold committee leaders on the idea that a Presidential veto, If overridden by Congress, would be best for the party By vetoing the bill Truman would become the hero of labor, Hatch urged. But if the veto was overridden, Truman would likewise get badly needed legisla- tion to correct labor abuses.

Pepper was so furious over the failure to telephone Thomas in Switzerland that Senator Barkley promised to make the phone call himself. He elso said the Republi- cans would agree to vote Tuesday at pm, thus giving the Utah Sen ator plenty of time to wing his way across the ocean.

 Marshall argued that if the Pres ident joined the Republicans by signing the measure, his action would alienate the liberal and so- cialist clements in Europe, among whom the United States is trying to gain influence and prestige.

 Democratic Director Sullivan had told him, Thomas said. that the veto would be overridden by a mar gin of four votes, hence it was use less for him to return.
 This was what caused Murray to send Barkley the bitter telegram warning him that the Senate vote on the veto would be a final test of the Democratic party.
 TAFT TURNS ON HEAT
 Meanwhile. Senator Tobey, liberal Republican who sometimes supports labor, was in New Hampshire. Learning of this, Taft phoned. urg- ing that Tooey be paired against the labor bill.
 I'd like to read the veto message first" replied the New Hampshire Senator.
 It's too long to give you on the phone" countered Taft.
 T insist on reading the veto mes sage" replied Tobey, and I will.
 Before returning to Washington, Tobey had promised Leslie Biffle that he would sustain the Presi- dents veto. But on arriving in Washington, Taft and the Republi- can high command cornered him. They turned on the heat at lunch and in the end Tobey voted to over ride.
 Note-One Republican wno came out with increased stature was Sen ator Wayne Morse of Oregon. Some Republican leaders believe he has definite presidential possibili- ties. Morse's name on the ticket would take the curse off anti-labor Republicanism The National As sociation of Manufacturers put ter rife pressure on Morse during the Senate fight, as on others, but he never wavered
