Princeton Man Here
In Study Of Tribal
Government Set-up

An interesting visitor here
last week was DR.. George A.
Graham, professor of political
science of Princeton University,
who met with members of the
Tribal Council and others in
quest of material to be used as a
basis for study of various de-
partments of American govern
ment.
A member of the committee
appointed some months ago by
President Truman to make a ma
tionwide study, which will be
submitted to him as a report for
lettering governmental proceed
ure, DR.. Graham is in charge of
the study of procedures used in
the Indian Service.
DR.. Graham's first meeting
was last Friday evening in the
Tribal Council office. A second
meeting was held in his room at
the Davis Hotel the following
day.
Questions asked by him had to
do with whether or not in the
opinion of Tribal Council men,
bers improvement in the Tribal
government set-up was possible.
Members made suggestions along
these lines, which were taken as
notations by DR.. Graham.
DR.. Graham's work will take
him to every Indian reservation
in the United States, having al
ready having been three months
in his quest.

DEMOCRATS GIVE BATTLE

After all, looks like a real cam
paign in the United states this
year. By dramatically announcing
a special session of Congress,
President Truman in his accept
ance speech at Philadelphia threw
down the gage of battle.
He did more. By the vigor of
his challenge he put new life and
hope into his Party. And by his
choice of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES on
which the Republicans are either
committed in their platform or
partially divided among them
selves-he opened the way for an
appeal to the independent vote
which will decide the election.
Neutral observers may still
question whether in the present
temper of the country the Demo-
Gratis can rally and win by No.
vember. But Mr.. Truman by the
stroke at Philadelphia has cap
tured the offensive. And it must
be said that he did in an almost
Rooseveltian manner. Aside from
the boldness and drama of his
move, he expressed Rooseveltian
confidence, and he drove at the
opposition with plain, sh arp
words that made the issues look
simple.
There was a colloquial keen
ness of phrasing all Mr.. Truman's
own, and there was one very un-
Rooseveltian failure in staging.
Because the Convention had
squabbled and dawdled until 2
in the morning, the Democrats
tossed away a radio audience of
10000, 900 to 10000, 900 people.
And cold t y p will not carry to
the public-if it reads the speech
the fire and force, the zing and
zest of its actual delivery.
Whether this kind of malad-
roitness and the laundering of
Party managers which so dam
aged tie Presidents prestige be-
fore the Convention will dog the
Democratic campaign cannot now
be guessed. Nor can the eventual

effect of the Donnybrook between
states Fighters and civil Fighters
which preceded the Mississippi
and Alabama "walkouts."
The unexpected size of the vote
for Senator R u s s e | reflects a
wide and d eep determination
among southern Democrats, but
the Convention took a Gle a r
decision on civil rights and there
is an increasing impression that
in the end few votes will be lost
to the Truman-Barkley ticket.
The naming of the stalwart Sem
ate leader softens with personal
friendship much of the edge for
the southerners. Mr.. Barkley's
place on the ticket should also
help the Democrats to accent con-
tinutiy of leadership and to make
the record of Congress the issue.
To many onlookers it was folly
from the first for feuding Demo-
Gratis to imagine h a t this was
not the natural line of the cam
paign or that they must lose with
the President but might win with
some new" Democrat.
The calling of a special session
may be attacked as using Con-
gress to carry on a partisan cam
paign. But more than a month
ago this newspaper urged the
Republican leaders to a k e the
initiative themselves to brin g
Congress back after the conven-
tions to clean up important work
left undone or badly d o n e"
And it will be hard for Repub-
licans to deny that the test
should be not words but acts.
The Democrats have serious
weaknesses. several of which
have been publicly exhibited in
recent days. Mr.. Truman has his
limitations, which have also been
pretty we'll exposed. The cam
paign-wit h the Republicans
keen, confident, and marvelously
organized-may disclose other
chinks in Democratic armor. But
today the Democrats have been
galvanized into challenging ac-
ton, and have found something
to cheer about. They promise to
make it a battle-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

Downtown Area Bans
On Auto Held Possible

Large cities may soon find it neces-
sary to prohibit the use of private
passenger cars in downtown areas,
members of the Alexandria Optimist
Club were told yesterday by Harold
Hammond, assistant manager of
transportation for the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The prohibition on passenger cars
may result from the increasing num-
ber of privately-owned cars, Mr.,
Hammond declared. He said if the
ban comes, fringe" parking areas
would have to be provided SO
motorists could leave their cars and
board public transportation vehicles
for the business areas.
Most cities will have to rely on
existing street systems for additional
cars, Mr.. Hammond said, adding
that the number of automobiles in
operation soon is expected to be so
per cent more than in 1941.
Mr. Hammond described the park
ing situation as major problem in
traffic today. He said many cities
are attempting to solve this problem
by providing off street parking
spaces, while some businessmen have
provided off street parking for GUS
toners. He said many cities had
found it profitable to eliminate
parking altogether on main business
streets

Krug's Tidal Oil Plan
Offers Rich Benefits
To II States in West
BY the Associoted Press

Seventeen Western States will
benefit heavily if Congress adopts
Secretary of the Interior Krug's
plan for administration of tidewater
oil lands.
Mr.. Krug submitted yesterday the
draft of bill which would divide
proceeds from the leasing of Gov
ernment-owned coastal oil and gas
fields as follows:
Thirty-seven and one half per
cent directly to the States off which
the oil and gas are recovered. Cur
rently, this would include Cali
fornia, Texas and Louisiana, where
tidal drilling is under way.
F'ifty-two and one-half per cent
to the Federal reclamation fund.
This is administered by Congress
for the benefit of the II States
where land is made useful by irriga-
ton.
Ten per cent into the Federal
Treasury.
OuI SUdStd1 6tdtCa blNluCus
The only coastal States in the
reclamation zone are California,
Oregon, Washington and Texas.
The other tidal-oil States, along
the Atlantic Coast and in the Gulf
of Mexico, would not share in the
reclamation split. Neither would
Alaska.
The Supreme Court upheld the
Federal Governments claim to the
tidal oil lands last June. The court
ruled that the Governments interest
in underwater resources extends
from the ebb-tide line to the 3-mile
limit
Once production Of oil or gas
begins, Mr. Krug recommended a
rental of at least 81 an acre year,
and a minimum royalty of 1914
per cent of the output.
He proposed that President, Tru-
man be authorized to appoint a
three man commission to set lease
terms.
The commission would authorize
holders of leases issued by the States
to exchange them for Federal
leases. 1t would determine whether
issuance of each lease would be 'in
the national interest,"" whether the
lease terms were satisfactory, and
what compensation should be ex-
tended to those lease holders to
whom it denied exchange leases.
Among the operators in the Cali
fornia tidelands area is Edwin w.
Pauley, assistant to the Secretary
of War.
Mr. Pauley acknowledged interest
in CALIFORNIA; marginal oil lands
was an issue in the contest over his
nomination as Under Secretary of
Navy. The Senate refused to confirm
him and the nomination with with
drawn by President Truman.

Cripps Hopes Marshall Plan
Will End Drain on Gold
BY the Associoied Press

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. T.
Sir Stafford Cripps hopes the Mar
shall Plan will enable Britain to
stop using up gold reserves, "all
that now stands between us and dis
aster."
Even if, as we hope, we get aid
under the Marshall Plan. that will
not re-establish our reserves" he
said today. 1T will help us, we
hope, not to draw on them further;
1t will give us time in which to carry
through those measures which are
essential to our full recovery"
Britain has drained S618,000. 900
worth of gold out of the sterling

Gen. Eisenhower, 81, steps out
of the Army after 33 years of service

command of World War II Allied
forces in Europe. AS a flve-star
general, he will continue to hold
his rank and receive his pay as

Stresses Removal From Politics.
The retiring Chief of Staff made
it even palmer at National Press
Club luncheon this week that he
had absolutely no political ambi-
ticns and that his letter removing
himself from the New Hampshire
primaries applied to 1852 as well as
this year. Those who wanted him
to seek the Republican nomination
for President have now turned else
where.
The retirement of Gen. Eisenhow-
er leaves Gen. Macarthur as the
only five-star general or admiral
still on active duty.
Gen. Bradley, who will be SIS next
Thursday, is the first Chief of Staff
to be sworn. in only for the Army
since his predecessors have been
chief of the air arm as well. The
Air Force was made independent
during Gen. Eisenhower's tenure of
office. Gen. Spaatz, the Air Force
Chief of Staff, and Gen. Bradley
were Gen. Eisenhower's chief as
sistants in the European theater
during the war.
