Sale Of Timber s Controversy
 Still Continues
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (R - Alaska Indians expect to ask the House agriculture committee to work out some plan to protect their inter- ests if the forest service is author ized to sell stumpage rights to 5,000,000 acres of timber in south- eastern Alaska.
 A hearing which was to have been given them yesterday was postponed until later in the week because Isaac C. Sutton, counsel for the Indian rights association, failed to show up.
 At Senate committee hearings two weeks ago counsel for the In- dians opposed the proposal of sale to paper and pulp mills to develop the industry in the Territory.
 He contended that the Indians own ten per cent of the land and should be permitted to sell direct to the paper companies.
 Forest service officials testified the timber will support five $30,- 100000 paper mills and said two of them were about ready to con- clude negotiations for timber They contended the paper com

IAII U. s. Agencies Told
IBy President 10 Aid
Red Cross Fund Drive

| President Truman today told the
heads of all Government agencies
that he wanted them to cooperate
Fundamentally" in setting up an
Organization to collect funds for
the Red Cross for the coming year.
He said that he had designated
Secretary of the Interior Krug to
head the Government unit which
will function In the Metropolitan
Area of Washington in the annual
fund drive.
The text of the Presidents state
ment to the agency chiefs follows:
1.-THE American Red Gross dur
ing the five years of World War II
gave full measure of devotion to
the relief of human suffering and
the welfare of our countrymen and
Allies in all parts of the world.
In the past year the immense ac-
tivities Of this agency have been re-
channeled from demands of war
to the complex problems of peace
and our great responsibilities In
binding up the wounds of war.
During the coming year the war
related activities of the Red Cross
will continue to be very extensive.
Large numbers of men still will be
In uniform. There are millions of
veterans to whom the Red Cross has
an obligation. Tens of thousands
still will be in Army, Navy and
veterans hospitals for a long time
to come. The Red Cross is trained
and equipped through its thousands
Of home service workers to give the
service needed, but it is imperative
that the necessary funds be obtained
to continue Red Cross operations on
behalf of the Army, Navy and
veterans.
I'm communities of all sizes the
health and educational services of
the Red Cross reaching millions of
homes with projects in first aid,
water safety, accident prevention,
home nursing and nutrition for the
welfare and conservation of life are
greatly needed. When disasters
threaten the neighborhood or the
Nation as whole we look to the
American Red Cross for prompt and
effective emergency help.
ITO help raise the funds essential
to finance this vast program, I
desire that all departments of
the Government cooperate whole
heartedly through the creation of
an effective organization for the
solicitation of their gifts. I have
designated the Secretary of the In
terror. the Honorable Julius A. Krug.
as chairman of the Government
unit for the Metropolitan Area of
Washington.
'The American people during the
war years have given to the Ameri-
can Red Cross the largest sums ever
entrusted to any humanitarian
agency Our gifts in this 1947 Red
Cross fund I am confident will con-
tinue this magnificent support. Il
assure you that the Red Cross will
continue to discharge with fidelity
and integrity those responsibilities
to which it is committed. The CO.
operation Of all citizens of good will
will fully guarantee success of this
great cause"

Paris Trial Shows Prosecutor
Had Evidence of FiIchock Offer

continued to see Paris afterward
in spite of it. Both said they were
interested in getting jobs with Paris
novelty manufacturing concern.
Mr.. Bell has taken no action con-
cerning the players yet, explaining
he would wait until the trial ended
and all the evidence was heard.
Then he plans to call a meeting for
all involved He has not said what
punishment would be meted out, but
he has admitted that conduct detri-
mental to the game could be pun
ishable by lifetime banishment
from professional football.
Incidentally, Paris statement told
that after spending one. year-1937
as a student at the University of
Virginia, he stopped going to school.
Since then he reported, he has held
an assortment of jobs with such
varied outfits as a motion picture
distributing agency, a shirt COM
pany, a chain of women's dress
shops, a surgical instrument fac
tory, a flower shop, and more re-
Gently, a metal novelty manufac-
turer. Previously, he said he also
makes a bet.

and then said he wanted to make
a bet"
I He said that at one point Paris
asked him:
Think you can see that the Bears
win?"
"I wouldn't do damn thing like
that" Filchock said he replied.
Filchock said Paris brought up
the matter again later and testi-,
fed that he told him.
I'm not going to do it. It means
too much to me-the winners share,
my reputation. etc. The boys have
too much confidence in me. They
depend on me. It means too much
and I won't do it.
Mr.. Monaghan asked Filchock if he
had concealed anything from Mayor
O'Dwyef in the questioning on the
night before the game.
''The money part" Filchock re-
piled.
MIR. Minton interjected: isn't it
a fact you told the Mayor you never
were offered a bribe?"
THAT is right" Filchock said.
Hapes Wanted Job.
Hapes, a former University of
Mississippi star, testified he did not
reveal Paris alleged attempt to
bribe him at the time because he
wanted ST.. .000-a-year post-season
job which he said Paris offered him.
Hapes, the first witness, told the
jury Paris asked "if I could see If
the Bears would win by 10 points.
He asked me If I could throw a
game.
ST said, what do you mean?' He
wanted to know if I could throw
a game. When I asked him why, he
said there would be more money
in it for him if the Bears won by
10 points and more money for me
So 500 in it plus "a $1,000 bet.
"I told him the only way could
throw a game was to make a tumble
and I said I wouldn't do that. I
told him wouldn't throw a game. ;"
Hapes said Paris told him he could
make $4,000 a year in commissions
selling novelties manufactured by
Paris and his father, and explained
this was the only job he had in
prospect.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Min
ton, Hapes said he did not reveal
the bribe offer to Giants officials
or to police because he wanted the
job.
"You wanted a job SO badly that
you wanted to compromise your
honor?" asked Mr.. Minton. . !.
That's right" Hapes replied.

AS the union board members

down by the national CIO, pointing
out that Abram Flaxer. union presi-

was undoubtedly a compromise.
With this in mind. some of the
more leftist UPWA board members
feel that, as president Of his own
union, Mr.. Flaxer has the right and
the power to act on the Communism
issue as he sees fit, or not to take
any action on it at all.
There are some union delegates
who want the organization to con-
tinue to ignore the charges hurled
against it during the past nine
months, but the feeling among most
of the board members is that some
stand must be taken, even if it is
an euuivOcal one.

Hapesl and Filchock told of a

Ieral of the city's leading night clubs,
Including Copacabana, Martinique
and Carnival, were among the places

quoted as saying.
In the late afternoon of Decem-

to break their necks for the Giants.
I'm taking him and Filchock out

take 10 points.
The Bears won the game, 24-14.
Filchock, passing star of the
Giants, who played with the Uni

days, and later with the Washing
ton Redskins, admitted in cross
examination that he concealed from
Mayor O'Dwyer that Paris had Of

Mayor O'Dwyer and police officials
questioned Filchock and Hapes the
night before the game. Hapes was
not allowed to play but Filchock was
permitted to play, throwing the
passes leading to his teams only
scores.
Filchock teld the jury that Paris
saw him on December 10 and asked
him if game could be thrown.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Mayor Will
liam O'Dwyer gave Halfback Frank
Filchock a clean bill of health" to
play in the New York Giants-Chi-
cago Bears title football game De-
cember IS, because the passing ace
insisted he had not received a bribe
offer.
Yet testimony at the bribery trial
of Alvin j. Paris indicates that the
district attorneys Office had evi-
dence eight hours before the kickoff
that Filchock definitely had received
an offer of $500 to throw the game,
but was permitted to play anyway
This was brought out in General
Sessions Court yesterday when As
sistant District Attorney George
Monaghan read into the record the
signed statement of Paris that he
had made the fix bid to both Fill
chock and Fullback Merle Hapes
at least five days before the game.
The statement was introduced in
evidence in Paris trial on the fix
charges shortly before the State
rested its case, Mr.. Monaghan said
he personally had taken the state
ment from the slim 28-year -old
novelty manufacturer, and that it
was all signed and delivered at 6:15

Hapes, however, as barred from
the game. Before the game Bert
Bell, National Football League Com
missioner, revealed the reason he
permitted Filchock to play was be-
cause the mayor, himself, after ques-
tioning Filchock privately, suggested
it.

O'Dwyer took Filchock into another
room alone. They came out and the
Mayor put his arm on Filchock's
shoulder and said he had clean bill
of health and suggested that he be
allowed to play
Filchock did admit in his testi-
mony yesterday that he lied to the
Mayor about not having received
the bribe bid, because he feared
shat if he admitted it, he would be
benched.
The question as whether any
player had guilty knowledge of a
bribe attempt in the game and with
held that knowledge from the Giant
coaches-a mater that Mr.. Bell has
said he would consider conduct det-
rimental to football-was just about
settled during yesterdays court pro-
