it applies only to vacant, unpat- ented and unappropriated lands. ' But the Department of Agriculture is invoking this act as authority to sell land that is presently occu- pied by Indians and is not vacant. Neither is this land 'unappropriat- ed. It was appropriated and re- served for the exclusive use of the Indians who used, occupied or claimed it in 1884, by the First Organic Act that Congress passed for Alaska. This was recognized by Congress recently as May l, 1886. It may well be that the Tongass Tim Der Act of August 8, 1947, author- izes the Department of Agriculture to sell lands that once belonged to Indians but which the Indians no longer own. That act, however gives the Department no power to sell lands or timber that still be- longs to Indians.
 Indeed the act in terms express ly excludes from it's scope land which is not within the exterior boundaries of the Tongass National Forest, and much of the land ad- vertised for sale by the Secretary of Agriculture is not within those boundaries at all, having been ex- cepted frcm the Forest by the ori- ginal Proclamation, which Safe- guarded all existing rights, includ- ing Indian property rights. I do not think that the Tongass Timber Act will be construed by the courts as authorizing Federal bureaucrats to sell Indian property that never has belonged to the Federal Govern ment But if the act is construed as having this purpose l am satis- fled that it is not constitutional andI that all doubts as to it's valid ity expressed hy Senator Watkins at the time the bill passed the Senate are well grounded.
 These Indians, so long as l re- present them, will take whatever lawful measures any other citizens might feel impelled to take, to pro- tect their property. They will feel free to cut and sell their own tim Der and should you wish to nego- tiate contract fer such sale they will, I know. be interested in fur thering the development and use of their property, as would any other American citizens"
 Very truly yours"

Atom Explosions Produce Inherit able DefOrmities

 Dr. Anderson, in an interview Friday announced that the tests were made at the Institutes plant genetics garden with corn grown from seeds exposed to last years Bikini Operations Crossroads. Although it is impossible to con- duct experiments with humans, the same biological laws apply to them as apply to corn," he said.
 These tests, he said, were the first laboratory confirmation of the theory that atomic bomb ex posture can lead to inheritable de- fleets and revealed that exposure to radioactivity disturbs chromo- somal genes, the inheritance fac

U. $. Communists Not To Affiliate With "COminfOrm''

NEW YORK, (P - The Com munist party of the United States says it has decided not to affiliate with the new cominform at Bel grade, for fear such action would be seized upon by ''reactionary and pro-Fascist forces" in this country, "as a pretext for new provocations and repressions."
 The American Communist par ty, however, approves strongly of the announced purposes of the Cominform, an information bur eau set up by the Communist part ies of nine European countries, an official party statement declared yesterday.
 Announcement of he decision of the national board of the party against utilization, issued by na- tional chairman William z. Eos ter and general secretary Eugene Dennis, said:
 "The reactionary and pro-faS- cist forces now whipping up anti communist hySteria and war in citement in our country would un- doubtedly seize upon such action (affiliation) by the American Com munist party as a pretext for new provocations and repre- S o n s against the Communists and all other sections of the American la bor and progressive movement" :"
 Foster and Dennis said the party in this country will "con- tinue to promote the international solidarity of labor and all anti Fascists and anti-imperialists" and especially the friendship of the American and Soviet peoples" |"
 The Communist leaders said creation of the Cominform as "a medium through which these par ties can consult, and, if they deem it desirable, coordinate activity, has heartened anti-fascist, anti imperialists and lovers of peace in every land.

 Until the army's mountaineer paratrooper party and civil aero nauticS board personnel reach the scene, nothing is to be touched. Amateur climbers probably will be unable to reach the scene be- cause of the precipitous, snow covered slopes well above the tim berline.
 Several pilots told the Chroni- cle that the Annette Island beam was waverning Sunday afternoon, when the airliner crashed, and that it brought other planes in to the east of the airfield. This was confirmed by several sources, but neither coast guard nor civil aero nauticS administration officials would make statement about it.

 As a side-light to the intensive five-day search for the missing skyliner, the coast guard disclosed that Ketchikan camper, Joe Will Hams, saw the big craft headed toward cloud-covered M oun t Tamgas apparently a few mom- ents before it crashed.
