"Alaskan Natives In Bad Plight" Says Bartlett

SEATTLE, (P) - In a dispatch from Washington, D. C., the Post Intelligencer quotes Alaska Terri torial Delegate E. L. Bartlett as saying that 35,000 Indians, Eski- mos and Aleuts throughout the Territory face conditions as bad as those of the Navajos and~Hopis in the southwest.
 "They are ravaged by tubercu- losis and with actual hunger be- cause the employment that was theirs during the war years has been taken suddenly away, with no substitute offered" he said. Congress allowed an appropria- tion of $176,O0O on the last day of the extra session, the funds to pro- vide disqualification at Seward, for many hundreds of desperate tuberculosis cases.
 But the overall relief of the Alaskan Indians and Eskimos will have to be fully examined at the coming session of Congress-" Congress has appropriated S5O0,- 900 for the Navajos and Hopis, in addition to private donations of food, clothing and cash from over the country.

Reclamation To Be Continued

WASHINGTON (P)-The White House was the next stop Saturday for a bill carrying funds to pre- vent a shutdown of work on four major reclamation projects.
 Before ending it's special ses- sion, Congress acted to insure con- tinuance of construction. For the Davis Dam, Arizona-Nevada, 1t voted $2,800, ,000; for the Colorado Big Thompson, Colorado, S4,l50,- 900; for Columbia Basin, Wash ington, $13,584 4,OOO; and for Gen. tral Valley, California, $ll,045, 5,000.
 Before the special session, re- clamation bureau officials warned that funds appropriated last sum- mer for work on the four big pro- jects this fiscal year, ending June 30, were becoming exhausted and that work would close down this winter or next spring unless more was forthcoming.

 Of the British: "On can have nothing but admiration for .. :. what they went through so stead- fastly. That they should be afflict- ed, in peace, with government which has done psychologically, fi- nancially, probaly as much dam age, is a cruel tragedy Only the miracles of socialistic planning, applied to a fertile island under laid with coal and surrounded by seas teeming with fish, could bring about a situation in which the people are cold and hungry"
 Help Them Produce
 On loans and gifts: "I think it would be pouring money down a rat hole to make any more loans to governments, yet I feel that we should, for our own sakes, help those who are willing to help themselves. My idea would be to make loans direct to private pro- ducers on very easy terms and for productive purposes only. We can't stop Communism by giving corrupt or inefficient or minority governments the means of remain ing in office.
 "We can stop it by building up the productive. capacity of the threatened nations. I doubt that Europe's economy will be healthy until Germany again is producing and consuming.

Arabs Attack
 Jewish Convoy In Palestine

JERUSALEM, (P) - Arab at tackled and slew Hans Beith, high ranking Jewish Agency official, and four other Jews in attack on two Jewish conveys in the Jerusa- lem area today, associates of Beith reported.
 Earlier, stray snipers' bullets killed three-year-old Jewish girl in her crib, and a 70-year-old Wo- man. Five other persons also met death in the Holy Lands continu- ing Arab-JeWish warfare.
 Beith was an organizer of inn migration for Jewish children. He formerly was an aide to the late American philanthropist, Henriet- la SchWab.
 The convoy was en route to Jer- usalem from Tel Aviv. Jewish Agency sources said it was at tackled twice-once at Babel Quad, about half way between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and again at Jeru- Salem's outskirts.
 The attack on the second con voy, in which four Jews were killed was made inside Jerusalem. Two British civilians were found shot to death in the area of Hadar Carmel in Haifa. Both were be lieved to have fallen in the fight ing between the Jewish and Arab Snipers. The new deaths raised the Holy Land toll to 359 since com munal fighting was touched off by ! the United Nations decision Nov. 29 to partition Palestine.

Free State Forestry
William A. Parr

Water shortages in Oakland and
Kit7miller have continued to be sub
iect of concern. In addition, many in
dividGals are experiencing water
shortages on their properties. Many
places which have never before been
known to dry up, have gone dry this
year.
The current dry spell, prolonged as
it has been. is not the only cause for
these water shortages. Destructive
timber cutting, which has destroyed
the storage capacity of the soil, must
come in for its share of blame.
TO prevent such destructive cut
ting, which has destroyed the storage
capacity Of the soil and lowered the
water table, is one of the reasons for
the passage Of the Forest Conservancy
District Act. To implement that act,
the Garrett County Forestry Board
has proposed regulation of timber
cutting to assure that the water stor-
age capacity Of the soil shall not be
destroyed.
Some interests in the county are
opposed to any such regulation,
reasonable though it may be. on the
grounds that the Consevancy Dis
tricts Act is not constitutional. How
ever, following the ruling of the Cir
cult Court, the Garrett County For
estry Board feels that the question of
constitutionality is settled and is
ready to proceed with the problem of
protecting woodlands from such types
Of cutting that affect the health or
prosperity Of the people of the county.
Forests can be harvested in such
manner that the water table can be
protected and this is one of the pur-
poses Of the regulation proposed by
the board

Turkey Steak To Be

A unique feature Of this years
meeting Of Maryland's turkey pro-
ducers on Friday, October "a, at An
was turkey steak feat
ured on the luncheon menu at noon
and the discussion which followed un-
der the title turkey steak from Mary
lands Point of View"
According to James NJ. Gwin, of the
Poultry department, University of
Maryland, this was the first time
such product has been served in the
East and predicts that in years to
ccme it may prove a boon to Maryland
turkey producers.
In explaining about the steaks, Mr..
Gwin said they were made by process
sing the fresh turkey meat in a ma
chine which thoroughly blended The
portions and combines them into a
meat product resembling a tcnderized
steak. Meat from large turkeys may
be marketed in this way.
For some time Maryland produc-
ers have had difficulty in selling the
larger turkeys ranging from 20 to 30
pounds Most families cant use 4 bird
that large and consequently go with
out turkey on many occasions. Under
this new method the consumer will be
able to buy as little on as much tur-
key as he wants
Thousands of turkeys are produced
annually in Garrett county, and one
Of the complaints last year was that
they had difficulty Of disposing of
their larger birds, Consequently while
turkey hens sold around 70 cents last
year, the large Toms sold for much
less

NAM MAsksCutin Taxes
Lower Prices and
Less Pay Demands
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturer
today called on labor to abandon
industry-wide attempts to obtair
blanket wage increases, on Govern
ment to lower taxes and on man.
agement to lower prices.
Walter B. Weisenburger, NAN
executive vice president, listed these
as three essentials to widespread
prosperity in 1947."
1.-The worker, the manufacturer
and the politician all should work
to enable business to function for
the good of ALL" the NAM spokes-
man said.
"It certainly has been manage
ment's responsibility to increase pay
wherever it was feasible. But man.
agement, naturally, became skeptical
when it found that no matter how
much was offered it was, if accepted
regarded only as a down-payment
on still larger increases to be de-
manded.
Confronted with losses in men,
bers and dues and with greater
losses to come, particularly in the
war-expanded industries, many un-
ion officials set out upon promotion
stunts which stopped at nothing
Government officials and agencies
egged them on with silly statements
and phoney statistics. The public
was ignored.
/ THE result could not be anything
else but strikes on a vast scale al
the very time when they should have
been avoided like the plague"

On AT Accord on Reich
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Jan. 2-An optimistic
New Year editorial in the foreign

stressed the favorable prospects for
great power accord on Germany
in 1947 provided no attempts are

ods of atomic diplomacy and power
politics"
Despite the gloomy prophecies of
the reactionaries," the editorial said,
"the possibility under definite con-
ditions of fruitful international col
laboration in the present epoch has
been practically proved"
New Times said the great Allied
powers now faced the problem of
Germany (which must be solved in
the spirit of the principles of its
democratization and demilitariza-
ton"

ing notes in the world scene, al
