INDIAN TITLE TO LAND IN ALASKA

Solution of Indian land claims in Alaska suggested by the Alaska Native Brotherhood and incorpo- rated in a bill introduced by Dele gate Bartlett was considered this week by the Indian Affairs sub- committee of the House public lands committee.
 Appearing as the first witness, assistant secretary of the interior Warner w. Gardner vigorously endorsed the bill as one providing a means to resolve the state of un- certainty surrounding land titles in Alaska and especially in south eastern Alaska.
 The bill would authorize the secretary of the interior to enter into agreements with Alaska na- tives of Indian blood for absolute surrender to the United States by said natives of all or any part of their legal and equitable rights to lands and water in the said terri tory not actually needed for their own use, upon such terms as may be deemed just by said natives and beneficial to the United States"
 Support for the bill was like wise offered by James E. Curry, attorney in Washington for the In- dian villages of southeastern Alas ka. Opposition was presented by B. Frank Heintzleman, regional forester of Alaska, and w. C. Ar mold, managing director of Alaska Salmon Industries, Inc.
 The measure provides that any agreement made must have the approval of Congress, and the manner and means of payment for absolute surrender will be de- termined by later act of Congress.
 The bill also authorized an ap- propriation of $50, ,00O for the costs of negotiating the agreements, in cluding a per diem of $1O in lieu of subsistence for committees of the native tribes or communities in interest and their attorneys.

To Study Eskimo Blood Types

SALT LAKE CITY, The university of Utah has announced Dr. c. A. Watson of the school of medicine has been awarded grant to study blood types among Eskimos in Alaska this summer.
 Watson, an associate professor of bacteriology, will classify the Eskimo according to distribution of the RH factor in the blood and according to the M and N factor, the university said.
 Determination of such infor- nation as this is of inestimable value to anthropologists in tracing the relationship of various races, since the blood groups are entire ly dependent upon the hereditary factors" Watson said.
 The bacteriologist has pioneered in the classification of blood groups among the American Indi- ans starting his work in 1880. lie developed a method by which the blood groups of mummies could be determined.

DECISION OF AIB ON COMMON C0LD'
 CASE E REVERSED

Ruling that a common cold, and it's consequences, constitute an em- ployment hazard only under special circumstances, U. s District Judge George w Folta yesterday revers- ed an earlier decision of the Alaske Industrial Board which had previ- ously awarded Se0311 as Workmens compensation to Steve Chutuk from Libby, McNeill and Libby.
 Judge Folta stated, in his opin- ion, that the fact that Chutuk had spent 30 minutes in a refrigerated room on overtime hours was not sufficient to warrant compensation being paid for an injury suffered from exposure.
 The AIB had earlier declared that complications from a cold, suf- fered by Chutuk, was sufficient ba- sis for his claim and awarded him $60311 plus interest, attorneys fees, hospital expenses and medical fees. Libby, McNeill and Libby through it's attorney, R. E. Robertson, ap- pealed the case to U. s. District Court where Judge Folta reversed the Boards decision The Board was represented by Territorial At torney Ralph Rivers and Chutuk by William L. Paul, Jr.

 (I0 IS NOT
DeadIine to Decide Fate of Coastwise Shipping
 IsSunday Night

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-lR- Confident of a last-minute settle ment, shipowners' negotiators went into contract talks with three Pa cific coast unions today but the west coast CIO maritime committee spoke dolefully of another shipping tieup upon expiration of contracts Sunday night.
 A shipowners' spokesman said two of the five mai- Pacific coast un- ions, the International Longshore- mems and Warehousemens Union and the Marine Engineers, already had been signed and we confident ly hope to sign up the others before the deadline" The agreements call for a years extension of contracts without wage changes.
 He said talks were on tap today with the American Communications Association (radio officers, the Ships Cooks and the Marine Fire men, with all of which we have made good progress in the past" The firemen have taken vote on extension of their contract but have not announced the result.
 The west coast CIO maritime un- ion embracing all five of the un- ions, told the public in full-page newspaper advertisements, however, that unless the shipowners change their minds today or tomorrow. :. there will be no work in the mari time industry"
 Tn less than 24 hours the ships will be dead, their steam down, their winches silent"
 All five unions in the committee have pledged that none will report to work Monday unless all have signed contracts by that time.
 The prime rub appeared to hinge on the marine cooks negotiations. The employers have offered to ex- tend their contract one year, but the cooks want an immediate wage review. Late yesterday the cooks voted 10-1 to adopt a policy of mo contract, no work"

 PHIL MURRAY
U. 5. Conei|idtor Attempt ina 10 Avoid Coast-to-
 Coast Iieup

NEW YORK, June 14.-LR-A U. s. conciliator stepped into the na- tions shipping industry dispute to- day with the hope of avoiding a coast-to-coast tieup which CIO President Philip Murray said in all likelihood" would occur with threatened walkout of five CIO maritime unions when their con- tracts expire. Sunday midnight.
 Murray, promising the unions which represent 100000 maritime workers the support of the CIO," forecast the walkout in Washing ton last night.
 His statement followed a confer ence with officials of the five un- ions. including Joseph Curran of the National Maritime Union and Harry Bridges of the West Coast International Longshoreman'S and Warehousei-lens Union.
 Conciliator William Margolis was named to the case after Secretary of Labor Schwellenhach appealed to the unions and the shipoWners to continue under their present con- tracts until conciliation proceedings had been given an opportunity to settle the disagreement.
 A maritime work stoppage would damage the American merchant marine seriously and "embarrass' the United States in carrying out foreign commitments, Schwellen- bach told the disputants.
 Murray charged that the ship owners had shown an unwilling ness" to bargain with union nego- tiators pending President Truman's action on the Hartley labor bill.
