Com mission Has New Rules for Presenting
 Land Claims

WASHINGTON, July 7-IR-The Indian Claims Commission said to- day it has received eight claims totaling about $50,000, ,000-and all eight probably will have to be re- filed
 Chief Commissioner Edgar E. Witt, former Texas Lieutenant Governor, said rules governing the presentation of claims have been completed and will be mailed to Indian tribes and reservations as soon as they are printed, probably by mid-July.
 The filing of formal claims should be withheld until the rules are received, Witt said The claims already received will have to be relied if they do not conform to regulations finally approved
 Witt said that any prospective claimant who feels that the testi- mony of an aged or invalid Indian should be taken immediately may send to the Commission detailed statement of the claim and sum- mary of the proposed testimony
 Indian tribes have until Aug. l3, 1851, to enter claims, and the Com mission has until April 10, 1857 to settle claims and complete it's as- signment.
 The Interior Department esti- mates that 95 percent of the land once owned by Indians--that IS, the entire United States and Alas ka-has Teen paid for. The re- maining five percent is expected to result in claims totaling many millions of dollars, however.
 The claims may involve land, mineral rights, fishing and buffalo hunting rights, accountings of coal and asphalt deposits, town-lot fraud charges, allotments of river banks, forest and mill rights aad host of similar questions.
 The Commission already has ad- vised Indians throughout the Unit ed States that claims will be com sidered only on the behalf of tribes, bands or other identifiable groups.

The W ashing ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The disastrous floods along the Missouri and Mis- sissippi Rivers were very much on his mind as Senator Jim Murray of Montana, with Ben Stong of Denver. Colorado, chairman of the regional Missouri River Association, called at the White House last week
 After introducing Strong to the President, the Montana Senator proposed to Truman that he send message to Congress restating his support for Missouri Valley Auth ority in connection with the present floods.
 Here is an ideal time to re- state you support of MVA in the strongest possible terms" said Mur- ray, who was the original author of MVA. "A strong statement from you now would mean added hope for the people who are today suffering millions of dollars loss because of the floods"
 You're perfectly right, Jim,' the President replied. I'm still for an MVA, but I don't see how we can do anything with the present Con- gress. I just can't see this Congress approving that or Columbia Val ley Authority when we both know that ii they had their way they'd even kill off IVA (the Tennessee Valley Authority"
 That's probably true Murray admitted. But the fact is that there could be no more opportune time for a strong message from you making 1t clear that the Ad- ministration is anxious to go ahead

FLYING 5AU(ER5"
 BATTLING
More Mystery Is Added to Phenomenon : Objects
 Reported in Idaho

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-tR- From one end of the country to the other, new reports of disklike fly ing saucers" skimming through the skies today added to the mystery which has baffled the nation since June 25.
 There was no satisfactory ex- planation of the phenomenon. The saucers first were reported seen in the State of Washington on June 25. Then persons in other Western States said they had seen them. The peak came over the July 4 holi- day, when they first were reported seen east of the Mississippi.
 The latest tabulation showed the mystery objects had been reported seen in 38 States, the District of Columbia and in Canada.
 Yesterday they were reported to have been seen in more than dozen States, and in southwestern Ontario.
 An aerial patrol by the Oregon National Guard reported it had fail ed to sight one of the objects. The Guard planned to send a plane today to a spot near St. Maries, Idaho, where a woman said 10 per sons saw eight of the disks disap- pear in timber on July 3.
 Fly in Formation
 Kenneth Arnold, businessman- pilot of Boise, Idaho. first reported seeing the disks. He said he saw nine flying in formation at a speed estimated at l.200 miles an hour over the Cascade Mountains. Other observers have given the objects various speeds and, in at last one case, said they appeared to be sus- pended in the air.
 Most observers usually agreed that the objects were round or oval. Guesses as to their size have ranged from that of a five-room house or large airplane to one description Of "a silver ball, six inches in diam eter.'
 The Army, the Navy and the Atomic Energy Commission all dis claimed any connection with the mystery. An Army Air Forces spokesman in Washington said the AAF had been checking the reports but added that we still haven't the slightest idea what they could be-
 Some scientists suggested that re- factions, of light such as from air craft, might account for the bright objects which have been reported. In some cases, the observers have in- sisted that the "saucers" have been accompanied by sound.
 Mrs. Walter Johnson of Spokane, who reported she was one of group which saw the objects fall near St Maries, said she and her compan- ions could not find either the disks or anything to indicate where they might have fallen She described them as about the size of five room house" and said they re- sembled washtubs, more than disks.
 The Coast Guard at Seattle said there was nothing to indicate that the objects might have come from foreign vessels near shore.

AGA Committeeman And
Officials Attend Meet

farm programs that they are call
ed upon to administer. .s.-
Typical of the practices that are
actually put into effect by farmer
committeeman in their own local.
tiles are two announced this week
by A. j. Thompson, chairman of
the Benton County AGA.
''This year," Thompson said,
Benton county has a special soil
building practice that has been Sc
'lected by the county committee.
1t is to encourage the use of COM
mercial nitrogen on legumes, COW
,er crops or mulching materials.
The rate of payment is &c per lb.
of available nitrogen, but not more
than $1.50 per acre. To qualify
for payment, when used on as
paragus mulch in 1947, the nitro
gen must be applied and the re-
ceipts in the Office by March 18TH .
The other is new practice, in
troduced for the wheat areas of
Washington. Twenty-Five cents
per acre will be paid for the Gull
tivation of small grain stubble
after harvest. Fifty per cent or
more of the stubble must be left
on the surface. The practice will
be effective, Thompson said, in
conserving soil moisture as well
as checking wind erosion.

full powers as active members.
ii The year 1947, officers Of the
association state, promises to be
an eventful one, particularly for
District 49,, one Of the most active
districts in the association.
Noting the advantages that ac-
crue to nurses from membership
n the American Nurses Associa-
tion, and through participation
n state and district activities, Of
ficials of the organization stressed
that retired nurses will be well
coined into the work now going
forward.
Not only the wisdom and ex-
perience of the retired nurses re-
commend them to membership,
but they often times have more
leisure than active nurses and can
give time to the development of
educational and professional stand
ards.
Retired nurses officials say will
find an intensely interesting So
cial and educational program
awaiting them in the coming year.

Soap 49,.
Grandma Made Il

If you are having trouble get
ting soap these days or paying
higher prices for it when you can
get it, you should have a talk with
your grandmother. She knew how
to make her own soap like you
know how to make pancakes and
without much bother. ~
But if she doesn't remember,
here is just about the way she
made it and the way you can make
it today at the cost of a cent or two
a cake All you need is a can of
good quality I've, such as Lewis
Eagle, American Indian Head or
Dixie which you can get at your
corner grocery store, and six lbs.
of clean grease, lard or tallow.
Slowly empty the contents of
the I've can into two and a half
pints of cold water in an enamel
ware or iron vessel never use al
minimum ware0 Stir until the I've
is dissolved. It will heat up. Then
let it cool to room temperature
(about 20 degrees).
Then melt six. pounds of fat and
let it cool sufficiently so that you
can hold you hand in it (about 100
degreeS or until the fat offers re-
sistance to a spoon Add the cool
ed I've solution to the grease in a
small. steady stream. with slow,
even stirring. Pouding in the I've
too fast or stirring too vigorously
is apt to cause separation of in
gradients. ..S........ III
Continue the stirring until the
mixture becomes too thick and
syrupy then pour it into a mold.
A wooden or heavy cardboard box
lined with a damp cloth is best.
Cover this with blanket or car
pet and let it set in a warm room
for several days, then cut it up
into the size cakes you want. Age
10 days to two weeks.
One important thing-your fats
must be clean. Salt and other
impurities can be removed by
boiling the grease in water in
skimming it off the top after it
cools The soap you get from this
recipe will be suitable for toilet,
dish washing or laundry use. If
desired, it can be perfumed or col
ored. This mixture makes about
nine pounds Of soap. - s@
