PROSPECTS BRIGHTER

While there is very little tme left in which Con- gress may act favoraby upon the pending legislation to permit the sale of timber in Southeast Alaska for legislation appear promising
 After hearing all sides in the matter the House Committee reported the resolution out fayoraby and the Rules Committee agreed 10 put 1t on the calendar
 Should the resolution pass the House this week, 1t probably will get the approval of the Senate without reference to committee since almost identical reso lution received Senate committee approval July 3.
 Delegate Bartlett has thrown his full support to the bill and we hope that the long haired solicitors cf the Interior Department who led Alaskas Indian delegation astray recently will refrain from any further attempts to block the legislation.
 In line with the Indian opposition, it is interesting to note that these claimants apparently devoted all of their efforts toward halting the pulp legislation and had nothing say the so-caled Alaska Vet erans Homestead bill by Representative Lemke which throws practically all of Southeast Alaska open to homeseading by veterans with no safeguards for the theoretical aboriginal claims" of the Indians
 The pulp resolution provides that the timber on may be sold under Forest Service supervision, but the money will be held until it is determined whether net the Indian claims are valid. And as Attorney General Rivers pointed out last week this sets up 2 large fund out of which such claims, if valid could be paid. Not only that, but it much as says that there may very well De basis for the claims
 Yet the Indians, three of them members of the Territorial Legislature nl-advsed or not almost suc- ceeded in blocking the pulp legislation which provides protection for their claims, and ignored the Leke bill which doesn't consider aboriginal rights

ICkES' OLD BATTLE

It has now been over a year since Harold Ickes resigned as Sec retary of the Interior in a bitter fight against the appointment of Ed Pauley as Undersecretary of the Navy. But only the other week the tasic issue in that fight was finally settled by the Supreme Court--and Ickes won.
 The issue was whether the Fed eral government or the oil con- ranies-through friendly state gov ernments-could harvest the min eral wealth on the ocean floor ad- joining the coast of the United States
 Pauley. himself an oil man, had collected several hundred thousand dollars of campaign contributions for the Democratic party on the promise that the Democrats would keep tidelands oil under state gov crnments. Ickes, on the other hand, claimed this submerged oil land should be regulated by the Federal Government, and put up a bitter fight against Pauley as Undersec- letary of the Navy. He charged

Hail. Columbia
Washington Post1

The announcement that General Eisenhower will retire as Chief of staff to become President o Co., lumbS University is interesting surprise although there had been rumors that something of the sort was in the wind As far as the general himself is concerned the decision to accept the offer seems altogether well advised him for the rest of his active life position of great honor and influence while removing him from any temptation to com promise his splendid reputation by involving himself in politics as presidential candidate
 The appointment of a distinguished soldier to such post is Of course not without precedent. General Lee as everyone knows spent the later years of his life as President of Washington College, which has since become Washington and Lee University. Gen eral Esenhowers responsibility will, of course, be vaster and more difficult than General Lees, for Columbia perhaps the most stuDendous educational enterprise in history with tens of thousands o stu dents and endowments running into hundreds of mil lions Yet this great administrative respons- bility seems rather modest in comparison to the re- responsibilities of the supreme allied commander in the European theatre Thus in every particular, except perhaps scholarship it would have been very hard for the trustees of Columbia to have found anyone better qualified than General Eisenhower to fill the place of the great Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler The qualities wherewth General Eisenhower was able to earn his great abroad and his certain place in history, that is to say his tact, diplomacy and ability to obtain harmonious and efficient cooperation from mutually jealous and suspicious subordinates, should prove valuable indeed in his relations with his faculty The Post therefore extends it's con- to both General Eisenhower and the

CLOGGING THE GRIMM
 AL DIVISION

While Congress has been badger ing Attorney General Clark for criminal prosecutions in Kansas City and for strict enforcement of the Hartley Act, simultane- ously Congress has refused to let Clark have new head for lis Criminal Division.
 More than three months ago Clark asked J. Edgar Hoover to pick the best prosecuting attor- ney he could find in the entire country to become Assistant Attor- ney General in charge of crime. Clalk felt that Hoover, first, would know the men best qualified; and seCond, that the man he selected would work closely with the FBI. Cooperation between the two in prevent ng crime is essential.
 Accordingly Hoover submitted several names. Tops on the list was Vincent Quinn, hitting } oung crime-pIosecutor from Brook lyn. The FBI had worked closely with Quinn in various subyersive eases and, last April, recommend ed him as one of the best prosecu- tors in the nation.
 But though Truman immediately sent Guinn's name to the Senate. is has languishei before Wisconsin Senator Wiley's Judiciary Commit tee ever since. The Republicans, led by Ferguson of Michigan, ap- parently don't trust the judgment of J.NEdgar Hoover.

that Pauley, as an oil man, would not safeguard naval oil reserves
 Actually, Ickes' battle for control of tidelands oil began back in Ap- Til, 1944, when he first took the question up with Roosevelt. And after considerable inter Cabinet de- late, FDR finally sent memo to Secretary of State Hull which read: T think Harold has the right slant"
 Note-Though Truman disagreed violently with Ickes regarding Ed Pauley, actually Ickes and Truman saw eye-to-eye on tidelands oil. The President vetoed one Congressional measure which would have turned tidelands oil over to state control. tCoPYRIGHT, l947, BELL SYNDICATE. INc)
