PAUL OFFERS RESIGNATION TO A.N.E


 HYDABURG William Paul. ST., for some time a spokesman of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, walked out of the ANB convention in it's closing day last Saturday submitting his resignation from the Executive Committee, a pos ition he had held by virtue of be- ing past grand president.
 By thus trying to give up his lifetime post, Paul took his family out of key position in the Broth erhood since his son, William Jr., had resigned as Grand Secretary to clear the way for his service as attorney in pending land suits.
 The convention heard the news from the senior Paul shortly after he was beaten in the race for Grand Secretary by young Lester Roberts of Juneau. Several other younger members were elevated to high office in the ANB. The con vention, however, defeated the res ignation move by refusing to ac- cept it as constitutional
 Louis Paul of Sitka, borther of the senior Paul, offered a motion that the resignation be worded so that Paul ST. be released from ac- tive duty for a year. motion that carried almost unanimously.
 Young Paul was elected delegate to the Santa Fe convention of the National Congress of American Indians.

 Fear spreads iu Southeast Alas ka that deyelopmenJ OI the pulp industry, which recently seemed nearer than at any tune n Quar- ter or century, may again be de Iayed as the result or revival oL the Indian claims. Latest move oI the Indian claimants, through thelr attorney James Curry, is to try and sell timber Iu Southeast Alaska areas iu the name Of the Indians, alleging they own it ana have something 10 sell. This Is m direct conflict with the IOngass Timber Act which passed the las Congress ana wnIcn authorized the secretary of Agriculture to sell the timber and hoIu the money n escrow pending settlement oI ab- original rights. Meanwhile, effort niIl be made by the Indians J0 have the Tongass Timber Act de clared unconstitutional Result Is that companies which are interest cd ill spending large sums in the area deyeioping the pulp and papel industry are becoming skIttsh, naturally cnary about spending millions iu a region where ques- ton of ownership oi timber and land is in dispute. While the new est move being made by the at torneys for the Indians IS a decid- ed setback to pulp and paper de velopment, and any other sort 0t development Tor that matter, t may have the advantage of bring Ing to carry declsiou a settlement or luE IouS tbAlA AOf EAog hCA aS- original rights.

Why Pick On Us?

We can't help wondering. We wrote an editorial
a couple of weeks ago on vandalism in Yellowstone
National park. in the meantime privately congratulate
ing ourselves that we hadn't seen Hardin names scrawl-
ed around here and there. and that Hardmtes are
pretty good citizens after all.
Then we were awakened with a rude jerk. 1t seems
that someone tossed the bench at the number three tee
box over the bluff. smashing it to bits on the river bank
below. To add insult to injury, it happened to be the
bench the Hardin Tribune Herald contributed to the
golf club last year. 1t seems that someone was determin-
ed to make us change our mind about the good citizen
ship of the hometown people.
The benches were pretty firmly anchored, so it
looks likely that the job was done by either teen-agers
or adults. We're still trying to figure out just why
anyone would want to do a thing like that. 1t looks
pretty useless to us. If a feud with the local golfers is
the cause of it all, why not pick the bench at the num-
Der eight or nine tee box. The players are much wearler
by that time. We presume the culprit simply had an
overwhelming desire to hear a loud crash, and picked
the closest thing to the bluff edge.
Members of the TT. Custer Golf club tell us that
they graded the road along the number three fairway
so that the view from the edge of the bluff could be
enjoyed by all and sundry. Some of them think it
might be advisable to close the road.
We hope that doesn't happen, and we hope
nothing else occurs to destroy our faith in the essential
good judgement and soundness of Hardin's people. We
know most of them are citizens to be proud to live
with. We're sorry a good record has to be spoiled by
an individual or two.
