DI(kERING ON ANNETTE
 AIR BASE
MefIdkafIa Indians Nego- tidiing for Rental and
 Other Concessions
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Rl- The Metlakatla Indians of South east Alaska are dickering with Uncle Sam this week over rental of one of the most valuable air. bases in the Territory, the form CT Army field at Annette Island.
 The Army paid them $3,600 a year rent for five years for 12000 acres, they said, and they want the Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion, which has taken over the field, similarly to make settle ment.
 Furthermore, they asserted at ne- gotiations under way at the h. terior Department, the Standard Oil Company is making a profit from a public investment through sale of oil and gasoline to air planes using the field. They want commission on those sales.
 Representing the 700 Metlakatlas, to whom President Grover Cleve- land assigned Annette Island as a reservation in 1891, are John w. Smith. acting Mayor of Metlakatla village. Ira Booth, Ted E. Benson and Ray Haldane.
 Darcy McNickle, an attorney of the office of Indian Affairs which is cooperating in the negotiations, said he locks for an agreement or a complete impasse some time this week.
 McNickle said the Army, which had been opposed to paying ren- tai fee, took the position that the airfield was built for national de- fense and that the natives ought to be grateful.
 The CAA, he said, similarly feels that the Indians should not expect to profit from a venture that is operated for the benefit of the public.
 The Indians, McNickle said, re- piled that the airfield destroyed hunting and trapping grounds and damaged fishing areas, and that the owners of the island rather than private company should re- ceive the income from airfield sales of aviation fuel.
 The CAA wants control over only about 5000 acres, less than half that used by the military forces during the war. Annette Island contains 85,l20 acres altogether.

President Commufes Sen. fences of Two Men as
 Even handed Justice

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-iR- President Truman today commut- ed the Federal mail fraud sentence of Mayor James M. Curley of Bos ton, providing for his release from the Federal correctional institution at Danbury, Conn.
 The communication provides that Curley's sentence has been com pleted with the five months he has served of a six to l8 months sen tence on a mail fraud conviction.
 MT. Truman also commuted the sentence of Donald Wakefield Smith, a former member of the National Labor Relations Board, who was convicted on the same charge.
 Smith had been sentenced to 9 term of from four months to one year and day.
 The communications mean that both Curley and Smith will be re- leased in time to spend Thanks giving with their families.
 Charles G. Ross, Presidential Secretary, said Smith would be be- leased from the District of Col umbia jail.
 Curley and Smith tegan their sentences last June 26. Curley would have been eligible for pa- role December 26. Smith became eligible last October 26.
 Ross said the chief medical off, cer of the Danbury institution had informed the Department of Justice that the 73-year-old Curley is suf- fering from an acute heart condi- tion and has diabetes.
 Ross said many petitions have been received by the Department from members of both political parties recommending the release of Curley because of his age and physical condition.
 Curley is Democratic National Committeeman from Massachusetts and also has served as U. s. Rep resentative and Governor of his state.
 Ross said the communications were signed at 10:30 a. m. (EST) today on recommendation of Attorney General Tom Clark.
 Ross said he understands that under Massachusetts law Curley has not heen deprived of his civil rights in that state by his conviction.
 In announcing Smiths release, Ross said the President took the action in the interest of even- handed justice, since both Curley and Smith had been sentenced at the same time on the same charg- eS

The W aShinqton Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Now that the Senate War Investigating Commit tee has dipped into the personal bookkeeping practices of Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers. it might also take a good, penetrating look at the way he kept top-secret records of the Army Air Forces materiel command during the war.
 The Senate Committee has devel- oped the fact that General Meyers concealed hundreds of thousands ot dollars of personal income. But if it looks thoroughly into the Air Corps, it will discover that Meyers kept three sets of books on Air Corps procurement.
 Even such top-flight War De- partnent officials as then Under secretary Robert P. Patterson had difficulty getting the true facts about the Air Corps buying program from Meyers. And when Patterson finally sent several aides to see Meyers to determine whether the Air Corps was wasting Federal funds, they learned that Meyers kept three sets of books.
 Set No. Told the true facts about the procurement program This was for the eyes of brass hats  only
 Set No. 2-Was for the White House and was calculated to show Roosevelt how able and brilliant top Air Corps officers were.

Governor, Rivers Seek Removal of Woodward as
 Maritime Commissioner
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-tR-- Alaska has asked the Maritime Commission to remove Thomas L.. Woodward. former Commission member, from being it's adviser in preparing long range solution or the Alaska shipping problem.
 Ralph J. Rivers, Attorney Gener- al ot Alaska made the request m a letter he made public today through Delegate Bartlett DIAL aska).
 Rivers wrote that over a period of many years MT. Woodward has shown marked bias in favor Of the Alaska Steamship lines to the de- trimcnt of the Territory"
 Prejudice
 The Attorney General submitted affidavits of Alaska's Governor and Donald J. O'Connor. economist oi Rivers staff, setting forth examples of what he claimed showed preJu- dice on Woodward's part against the Territory.
 Al1ska's Governor said i'll one af- fidavit that Woodward, when a men1ber of the Commission, was chiefly responsible in l940 for the Comm ssion's overturning recom- mendations of examiners that steamship rates to Alaska were ex- cesslve and should be reduced.
 In another affidavit the Cover nor said that in 1946, after Wood ward failed Of reappointment to the Commission and while he was acting as an examiner, Woodward had said the Alaska Steamship companies were correct in their claim for higher rates and said in the presence of the Governor that they must have immediate relief.
 Despite this, the Governor con- tinued the Commission denied the proposed rate increase.
 "Woodwards Idea had been clear ly revealed,' the Governor said Tt was so thoroughly demonstrated that in the general public interest ard in the specific interest of the people o1 Alaska we should be dere- lict in our duty :. we did not in- sist that Woodward be removed forthwith from any connection whatsoever with Alaska shipping matters"
 O'Connor, who testified last week before the Maritime Commission about freight carrying practices of the Alaska shipping companies, said in another affidavit that at concl'ision Of Congressional hear ing Woodward upbraided him "as guilty of intellectual dishonesty" for putting before the committee material he had presented before an examiner in Seattle. OConnor said Woodward claimed that the material had been discredited at the Seattle hearing.

Co m missioner Says Too Much Attention to Con-
 panies None 10 People
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-lR- Joseph K. Carson, member of the Maritime Commission, said today he thought too much time had been devoted to inquiring into the op- erations of steamship companies serving Alaska, and not enough to the interests of the people of the Territory.
 T feel that too much time has been devoted to considering the contentious of the operators of the Alaska steamship lines and not enough to considering the interests of Alaska for a long range pro gram to meet the needs of the area" Carson told reporter. We have got to meet the situation realistically if the people of Alaska get an even break in maritime service with those of the United States"
 The Commissioner said that any service to Alaska will have to be inaugurated with government aid. with the first problem to be solved being that of terminal facilities in Alaska and the second the right kind of equipment.
 Carson said the Commission hoped to have ready for Congress in January recommendations for a permanent plan for steamship service to the Territory
 Steamship companies have con- tended that present government vessels in use in Alaska service are not the right kind and that the service will require especially constructed ships.

Cabinet Me m bers Want Power Over Nations
 Steel and Grain

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-lR- Two cabinet officers told Con- gress today that in view of the proposed foreign air program the government should have power to say what use is made of the na- tion's steel output and grain crops.
 Secretary of Commerce Hartman and Secretary of Agriculture An derson testified before separate legislative committees in support of President Truman's economic program.
 Both backed his request for au- thority to restore price controls and rationing, if he decides they are needed.
 On allocations, Hartman told the Senate House economic committee there should be limited powers to direct steel to the most essen tial programs" And he added that more far reaching proposals are being prepared.
 Broadly, allocation would permit the government to say how much any particular commodity is used for certain purpose. How much steel, for instance, the automobile industry would be allowed to use.
 Anderson was before the House Banking Committee. AS to needed allocation in the farm and crop field, he told it:
 Emergency Preparations
 Tn order that we may be pre- pared for any serious emergency that may result from failure of grain crops, it would be necessary to have authority not only for con- trolling exports but for limiting in- ventories and directing use of grain domestically through the most essential channels.
 Authority for allocating the use of storage and transportation fac- ilities and distribution of farm machinery and fertilizer would also be necessary"
 Export Controls
 As for export controls, Anderson said these are needed CD to pro- tect our domestic economy (2) aid in supplying import requirements of those countries in greatest need (3) fulfill our obligations under food allocating procedures, and (4) to secure the cooperation of other nations in meeting Americas inn port needs.
 Cabinet officers are now engaged in giving Congress detailed views in support of the controls pro- gram which MT Truman presented
