Timber Company Will Fight Forest Service In Courts

NEW YORK, (F) - Richard C.. Green, attorney for the Timber Development Corp, said today the concern planned to go ahead with its contract to purchase $20,000,0O0 worth of timber from two Alaskan Indian villages.
 Asked for comment on a forest service statement in Washington yesterday that the agency would go into the courts if necessary to block the deal, Green said:
 "We believe the Indians title to the timber lands is better than that of the government. We'll>fight it out on that basis. AS far as we are concerned, our deal stands"
 C. M. Granger, assistant chief of the foreign service, said yesterday the Indians would not be permit ted to cut the timber because the service believes they have no right to sell it.
 The service does not believe a 1945 ruling secretary of the inter- for Harold L. Ickes that the Indi- ans had established possessory rights to some 300,000 acres of land gives them possession of it,

Cunmen Fire On Communists In French Strife

MARSEILLE, (P)-Unidentified gunmen fired on Communist party headquarters here today while a meeting was in progress and troops were immediately alerted to prevent bloody rioting such as occurred Wednesday.
 There were no casualties from the gunfire, but police feared it might mark the beginning of a war between Marseille's under world gangs, known as "NerviS," |" and the tough, hard-fighting Com munists of the rugged Marseille waterfront.
 The shooting occurred as the Communists were completing plans for demonstration in con- nection with the funeral of left wing party member killed in We'd nesday's disorders.
 The central labor council order ed general work stoppage during the funeral, but did not issue a general strike call, which the Communists have demanded. Af- ter a long session, the council agreed that "only the dndividuar unions can decide" whether to join the spreading strike movement.

tBy Charles D. Watkins)

((PD Spacial Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON P)-Preparing to fight the proposed sale by two Alaskan Indian villages of $20,- 00O,0OO worth of Tongass National Forest timber, forest service off cials said today they were await ing a report from the regional for ester on the reported sale and con- tract terms.

 The forest service said yester- day it will go into the courts if necessary to block the proposed sale by the villages of Rake and Kasaan, which was announced here by the Congress of American Indians, a private organization.
 Forest service officials said the sale will not be permitted and the Indians will not be allowed to cut the timber, much is in an area in which the service is trying to get a series of paper mills established.

U. $. Launches Radio Blast
 AtCOnnunists

BERLIN, (P)-Launching an of ficial radio campaign against communism, a spokesman for the American military government told the German people last nigh. that Communism now threatens to enSlave them as NaZism once did.
 He promised the Germans the United States would agree t0 the political unification of a partition ed Germany only 'in such a way as to forever eliminate the djSre gard of individual rights"
 'President Lincoln's statement that a nation cannot exist half slave and half free is. an applica- ton to modern Germany and to the modern world as it was to 18th century America" he said
 The speaker was Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, director of AMG's civil administration division. His ad- dress was the first of a series of weekly broadcasts scheduled by AMG in it's anti-communism cam paign entitled Freedom versus Totalitarianism." He spoke over the American-controlled station here and the American Zone's ra- dio network.
 Litchfield, a former educator from Lansing, Mich, told the Ger mans that communism stood for "the suppression of the individual and the systematic denial of the basic rights of free men,
 Without mentioning the Russians or the administration of their oc- cupation zone of Germany direct ly, he described Communist methodology" in the conduct of elections, press control and perpe- tration of "government-sponsored kidnapings."
 Litchfield said comm S m meant the suppression of free ex- presSion and that part of the press which is opposed to the gov ernment's views" and "one-party domination"

Native Service
 Starts "AboriginaI Rights Hearing
QBy The Associated Press)

Officials of the Alaska Native Service were to go to Hydaburg today to discuss ancestral rights" with delegates attending the 34th Alaska Native Brotherhood con vention there
 The major subject this year is the controversial ancestral or ab- original rights" question under which natives of Southeastern Alaska are claiming title to large part of the land in the vast Ton gass forest.
 The first official act of the bro therhood was approval of a reso- lution calling the Tongass Timber act unconstitutional because it did not provide "any manner for pay ments to be made out of the fund of parties concerned" The act, passed at the last session of Con greSS to enable the establishment of pulp and paper mills in the Ter ritory provided that Stumpage payments go into an escrow fund until the aboriginal rights question is finally settled.
 Secretary of Alaska Lew Will Hams passed through Ketchikan last night on the way to Hydaburg to deliver a message to the bro therhood from Governor Gruen- ing. He said his address would be mainly anti-reservation."
 Reports reaching here from the convention said 100 delegates rep resenting Indian villages from St. Paul Island in the Boring Sea to Metlakatla, south of Ketchikan, were enthusiastic over a. talk by James Curry, Washington, D. C., attorney. He told them of the pres ent status of land suits now in the court of claims and discussed pres ent and future proposals to estab- fish logging, numbering and pulp mills on reservations.
 "We hope to obtain some real prosperity for the people of our communities" he told an honorary banquet.
 Curry is leader of the Indian aboriginal rights fight. He has all ready held meetings with Hyda- burg councilmen and delegates of nearly all the native villages.
 Two years ago, the Alaska na- tive brotherhood went on record opposing the establishment of res ervations in Alaska, Secretary Williams pointed out.
 Meanwhile, Ketchikan business leaders fear the present controver- sy will scare" interested invest

CONFIRMATION CASE
 E TAKEN INTO COURT


 An order to show cause as to why it should not assume juris- diction in the case of Mrs Kath- leen Grant for Workmsn's Com rensation was granted today in U. s. District Court by Judge Harry E. Pratt against the Alaska Industrial Board it's chairman, Henry L. Benson, and Dave Mill ner.
 The petition, which was filed yesterday, claims that Milner, as an employer, comes under the jurisdiction of the Territorial Workmens Compensation Act in that he had three or more em- ployees at the time of the death of Bob Grant, deceased husband of Mrs. Grant. The Board had held in a previous decision, that, two of Miners employees were casual employees only, it could not assume jurisdiction in Mrs. Grants claim for $4,500.
 William L. Paul, Jr., Mrs. Grants attorney, contends that the law does not differentiate between casual and permanent employees and that she should therefore be entitled to the benefits of the law. The board was given 30 days in which to file it's reply.
 Grant died in January as re- suit of breathing fumes of carbon tetrachloride which he was using for cleaning purposes.
