NEGRO IS FOUND
 GUILTY OF TWO
 BRUTAL MURDERS

TACOMA, Nov %. = R = Jake Bird, 45-year-old Negro transient found guilty of the axe-slaying of Mrs Bertha Kludt, Wednesday night, sat out Thanksgiving Day in a somber Pierce County jail cell awaiting the sentence which will send him to the gallows.
 A Superior Court jury brought in the verdict after only 35 minutes denteration and recommended that he be hanged for the brutal Oct. 30 staying.
 Figuring heavily in the trial was the death of Mrs. Kludts daughter, Beverly June IT, who also was hacked to death when she went to her mothers defense after Bird was surprised in the act of burglarizing the Kludt home.
 Testimony given by pathologists showed that brain tissue from the young girl was present on Birds clothing. This evidence provided the states main point in placing Bird at the scene of the crime dur ing it's commission.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-lR-Russia asked the Council of Foreign Min isters today for a yes or no answer on whether the western powers plan to set up a provisional gov ernment in their German occupa- tion zone. But Russia failed to get it.
 Quoting reports that such plan existed, Foreign Minister V. M Mclotov said his country believed the advices were true and that he would like to know if he was mis- taken,
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of Great Britain stated:
 IT peace is to be denied, Britain cannot be expected to stand by in active
 The impression of correspondents attending American. British and French briefing sessions was that the Council did not make much progl ess during the day.
 Molotov appealed against the es- tabnehment of any segment gov ernment of Germany, French sour ces said.

DRIVE 10 MAKE
 PIONEERS HAppY
 STARTING MONDAY

The annual w D. Gross drive for the Christmas fund for the pioneers at the Ska Home will start in Juneau next Monday with the expectations that it will last only several days.
 Right on the job, zalnain Gross will start out Monday making his calls soliciting contributions for the pioneers and any sum will be gratefully received.
 Over 20 years ago, w. D. Gross conceived the idea of the Christ mas fund for the pioneers, the raising of money to send to them for the glad season of the year, and each year the boys at the home have been presented with coin of the realm to jingle in their pockets and to do with it just as they please, and make them for the time being perfectly indepen- dent.
 Many will say that the pioneers have a good home, everything to eat, etc, but one ought to see them on Christmas morning when the Superintendent doles out an equal amount to all of them for their very own.
 The drive is not especially local, for all the Gross theatres in South east Alaska have one day set aside for the drive and the Pioneers of Alaska, from all section of the north, send in their contributions
 Those who are not called on may send in their contributions dl- rect to the 20th Century Theatre and the amount will be tabulated and reported.
 zalmain Gross expects that Ju- neau can be rounded up in two or three days and the drive brought to a successful end.

 Bronson Deal "Surpr SC"
 On the subject of the proposed independent sale of their timber rights by the villages of Kake and Kasaan through attorney James E. Curry as announced by Mrs. Ruth Bronson, Secretary of the National Congress of American Indians, Eos ter said that the Interior Depart mCnt was thrown for a toss" be- cause it hadn't known anything about the deal He said it came as complete surprise to him and other officials.
 Tt is no problem of the Interior Department, however" said Foster, but is the concern of the Forest Service and the Department of Ag- rlculture." He explained that the Kake- -Kasaan deal affects "non-re- stricted" lands and that, under a 1886 Congressional Act, the Indian villages are senli-independent and can act on many affairs without securing the approval of the Ma tive Service.
 Broad Powers For Curry
 He said that the contract agree ment between attorney James E. Curry and many villages is very bread and gives the attorney many extraordinary powers" which the Interior Department cannot con trol. Poster admitted that the con- tracts were approved by his depar- ment but stated that he had no le- gal reason for rejecting them.
 He said that. through Curry, the Indians can act outside of the De- partment of the Interior without approval or sanction which is what is taking place in the Kake-Kasaan agreement.
 He reported that Curry has also recently negotiated a contract with the Metlakatla tribe to represent them in Washington, D. c. where he is now negotiating for them on the proposed sale or lease of the Annette Island airport to the CAA.
