Bartlett To Try To Settle AbOrig- inal Rights

WASHINGTON, (P) - Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said yesterday he is against establishment of large reservations in Alaska for the exclusive use of Indians and added that in his opinion the Howard act of 1886 never was intended to permit such prac- tices.
 In a letter to Mrs. Josephine Peele, president of Camp IA of the Alaska Native SiSterhood at Ketchikan, he said he will do ev- erything he can to get final set clement of the questional aborig- inal rights in the Territory.
 Mrs. Peele had asked him to op- pose enactment of bill by Sena- tor Butler R.-NebD, chairman of the Senate public lands committee, to take away from the interior de- partment the right to establish h. dian reservations in the Territory and to cancel those already estab- liShed.
 Bartlett said that as long as he is in Congress he will actively op- pose any movement intended to deprive Alaskan Indians of fair and impartial hearings on their claims.
 The Delegate said he believed establishment of Indian reserva- tions means more and more gov- ernment control and less and less individual initiative and right"
 With reference to the Indians of Southeastern Alaska" he said, "I maintain that our economic re- sources are sufficiently great to permit them to gain better living than they now can without resort ing to system which certainly has not been a shining success in the States. Admittedly, the Indians in the States were oftentimes placed on the least desirable and produc- tive lands and that is one reason for their inability to prosper

 An official report said two cars of Jews drove into the village in darkness, threw number of bombs and opened fire. Two houses were destroyed.
 A police patrol found seven bod ies in the ruins of one of the hous- es and three in the other.
 Two Syrians and two Yebanese Arabs were listed among the cas- ualties.
 Jewish sources said Hagana, the Jewish underground militia, made the attack because the village was being used as a hideout for infil- trating volunteers of Fawzi Kauk- ji's Arab Save Palestine" army.
 Arab sources have said this army was moving 2,000 guerrilla fighters to join Arab forces near Nablus.

BATTING AVERAGES

Displaying plenty of fight, hustle
and hitting power, Smyrna came
from behind to win a baseball
game from st. Georges at St.
Georges on May 25. Smyrna start
ed off by the first three hitters get
ting singles, but Hopkins was
caught off first for an out, Grier
was called out by the base umpire
when he was obviously safe, and
Gene Handsberry's hit was wasted
when Seward struck out. Quick
to take advantage of their good
fortune, st. Georges made the most
of a walk and two hits in their
half of the first inning and scored
two runs. They got another in the
third on walk and a hit. In the
fourth, Smyrna went to work to
overcome the three-run lead. Sew

two runs. In the seventh, taking
advantage of four walks, Smyrna
scored two more and took the lead
for the first time. In the eighth
on singles by G. Handsberry and
Hudson and a walk to Grier, Smyr-
ma scored again. st. Georges made
one more run in their half of the
eighth by the aid of a walk and a
long fly ball. And that ended the
scoring, both teams going out in
order in the ninth. Although the
Smyrna team made few errors of
judgment, their hitting power,
their determination to win, and
Hudson's five-hit pitching were too
strong combination for st.
Georges. At present the team hit

Every Christian Scientist, every

that human will is not Christian

this in order to defend himself

All mental malpractice arises from

WARN HOLIDAY
MOTORISTS
First Three-Day Holiday Will
Bring Great Volume
Of Traffic
SAFETY RULES GIVEN

Memorial Day, which is sum-
mer's first three-day holiday, will
be celebrated by many Delawar-
cans, who, if the weather is fine,
will swarm on the highways in rn-
Iprecedented numbers. Mr.. w. w.
Harris, Vice President for Public
Safety of the Delaware Safety
Council, urges all motorists who
are planning vacation trips to
start early, drive slower, and live
longer. From an accident point of
view, the Delaware Safety Council
cautions that Memorial Day is a
red-letter day in its files and sta
tistics maintained by that organi-
zation. The figures are red writ
ten in the blood of scores of motor
lists who lose their lives in holiday
smash-ups. Motorists are urged
to make sure that their car is in
good mechanical condition, check
the brakes, lights and tires. Get
an early start so as to avoid most
of the heavy traffic. Another con-
tributory cause to accidents is
crowding the driver. To crowd
the drivers seat is to court disas-
ter. Give him adequate space in
which to work and the opportunity
to keep his mind on the business
at hand. Railroad crossings are
always point of extreme danger.
Where no crossing watchman is on
duty, priced with exceptional
caution. Be sure you are safe,
then go ahead. A passing train or
standing cars may hide from view
another train rushing toward the
crossing from the opposite direc-
tion. The Council urges all motor
lists to obey the motor vehicle
laws and regulations, to refrain
from speeding and drinking while
