 In Berlin, Gen. Lucius D. Clay announced there will be no meet ing of the Allied Control Council tomorrow, the regular meeting day, because none of the four powers has asked for one. The Council has not met since the Russians walked out several weeks ago, leav- ing the future of four-power gov ernment for Germany in doubt.

GOAL BURNING RAIL
 SERVICE WILL BE CUT IN HALF ON APRIL $

WASHINGTON, April 9-tp--The 26-day old mine shutdown forced the government today to crder coal burning rail service cut to half ot normal
 The reduction is effective at mid night, April Is, and presumably would be cancelled if mining re- sumes before then.
 There appeared no immediate prospect, however, of an end of the walkout despite new threat of ac- ton against John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers.
 Rep. Hartley (R-NJ said that if the Taft-Hartley Labor Law which he helped write fails ito put the brakes" on Lewis, he will ask for stiffer laws. Hartley is head of the House Labor Committee.
 The pending new cutback in coal burning freight and passenger train service was ordered by the office of defense transportation and the In- terstate Commerce Commission to save dwindling supplies of coal.
 ODT said Wednesday the railroads had stocks enough to last only 22 days.
 Rep. Hartley told reporters the possibility of further Congressional action aimed at Lewis hinges on what happens to the union leader when he answers a contempt cita- tion in court Monday.

 WASHINGTON = One reason for unification of the Army and Navy was to eliminate bitter jeal- ousy between the two services, in- cluding the rival Hobbies which each maintained on Capitol Hill For years the admirals and gen. erals had their representatives scrambling around Congress trying to woo votes and sniping at each other in the scramble for appro- priations.
 It was hoped that unification would end this tug-ofw
 However, this column has now obtained a secret memo circulated by the Navy which indicates that Army-Navy warfare has not stop ped. If anything, it's more inten- sive and bitter.
 The Navy's amazing memo is be- hind the current battle over in- creasing the Air Forces to 7( groups. It frankly admits that if the admirals stick to their old theory that the Navy's function is to control the seas, it will soon be obsolete.
 Secretary of Defense Forrestall himself a Navy man, and who still features ships clocks and port holes as accouterments of his of- flee, has sided with the Navy and is opposed to the TO air groups

Mayor Hendritkson Urges Those Who Have Moi Been
 x-Rayed 10 Do 5o al Once

With a total of 4,58l X-rays taken at the close of the clinic last night, the mass chest X-ray program of the Territorial Department of Health ended it's third week of the Juneau survey.
 Two more days remain for local residents to take advantage of the opportunity for free chest X-ray. Monday and Tuesday of next week, April 12 and 13.
 No appointments are now iieces- sary. Anyone wishing an x-ray may call at the Methodist Church so- cial rooms, where the clinics are be- ing held, register and be X-rayed; {; Monday g to 1l:30 o'clock, am. and 1 to 3;3O o'clock, pm; Tuesday g to 11:30 o'clock am. and ' to g o'clock, pm.
 According to Mss Lois Jund, ad- ministrative director and tubercu- losis health education consultant for the Health Department, an esti- mated 600 persons who were regist- cred to be x-rayed, have not kept their appointments. These persons are urged to go to the clinic at any time during the hours it is in ses- sion on Monday and Tuesday, for their Xrays.
 Discussing the Juneau X-ray program today, Mayor w. E. NIendrickson expressed the opinion that the success of the Juneau tu- berculosis survey is responsibility of the community, and that every citizen should make himself a com mittee of one to contribute to it's success by going to the clinic to register and receive the chest X-ray examination offered by the Ter ritorial Department of Health, in it's effort to stamp out tuberculosis in Alaska.
 Mayor Hendrickson said that the City of Juneau is most appreciative of the fact that the Health Depart ment and the organizations which are sponsoring the local survey; the Gastineau Channel Health Council, the Juneau Putlic Health Center, and the Alaska Tuberculosis Asso- oiation, have gone to considerable effort to give Juneau the mass chest X-ray program.
 Many public minded citizens have. and with personal sacrifice, willingly and cheerfully given their time to the arduous tasks of can wasting the city and its enyirons, to register each individual, making out schedule appointments, attend ing to clerical work at the clinics, and bringing the program before the public through the mediums of the local radio and press, he said.
 We are will aware of the fact that tuberculosis is Alaska's number one killer" said Mayor Hendrick- son.
 "As progressive citizens, interest ed in the welfare of our community and Alaska, it is up to each and every one of us to participate in the X-ray survey by having free chest X-ray. By so doing we accomplish two worthwhile objectives: we insure our health, and we contribute a means for providing facts and fig ures which will give clear picture of Juneaus own problem in the territory-wide war against tubercu- fosis.
 "Go to the clinics Monday or Tuesday. register, and have your chest x-rayed." '

About Salmon Traps

Cohen said control of strategic fishing places. key to Alaska's No l industry salmon fishing gis held by half a dozen absentee-owned packing companies allowed by the Interior Department to monopolize most of the strategic salmon trap sites of Alaska
 Interiors top man in Alaskan fisheries, Regional Director Frank Jones has announced his inten- ton of stopping all efforts of Ma tives to use the fishing grounds that the Secretary of the Interior found to belong to Native com munities," Cohen said.
 The seal incfastry, he wrote:
 "The Fouke Fur Company of St. Louis, which enjoys monopoly of fur seal processing. is the bene- ficiary of Federal favor, and the Natives of the Pribilof Islands, held in virtual serfdom under the Fish and Wildlife Service and al- lowed just so much education as will not interefer with their pres cribed work as seal-slaughterers, are the chief victims"
 Cohen said President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Truman told their Secretaries of Interior many times that it is necessary to settle hundreds of thousands of families in Alaska.
 Both Ickes and Krug approved the policy, he added. but:
 At every point where the policy led to conflict with absentee own CTS. it was the national policy and the welfare of Alaska that went down to defeat.
 Somewhere down the line there was always a layer of government employees whose first allegiance was to the industries that now skim the Alaskan cream"

Former Inf. Depf. Official Hiis Absentee Ownership
 In Alaska; Other Charges

WASHINTON, Apr 9.-iR-Felix s. Cohen, former Interior Depart ment Associate Solicitor, said today that the government fails to pro- tect Alaskans against absentee ownership.
 He also wrote in an article titled "Open Season on Alaskan Natives that the Natives of Pribilof Islands are held in virtual serfdom"
 Cohen quoted an Alaska Native woman as saying that Secretary of the Interior Krug has broken promises to Alaskan Natives and has kept the Indian Bureau from fulfilling promises.
 Interior Department officials said they had not seen the ar ticle, in the News Letter of the Institute of Ethnic Affairs, and could not comment. The Institute is a private organization which interests itself in minority groups. Cohen resigned from the Interior Department recently to practice law here.
 Although the impact of absen- tee monopoly falls heavily upon white families as well as upon Na- tives," wrote Cohen, the absentee controlled press and Chambers of Commerce of the Territory have managed to stir up enough bitter ness between white and Natives in Alaska to make united action against the colonial order ex- tremeiy difficult
 Whites, Natives Involved
 Under the impact of this pro- paganda, many white Alaskans have failed to see that the same forces which oppose ownership of resources by resident Indians also oppose the ownership of resources by resident whites.
 Wherever Indian groups seek to defend their lands CT their homes, their right to cut their own trees or to use their accus- toned fishing places their ac- tions are pictured in the Alaskan press not as a challenge to colon ialism and absentee ownership bui rather as a threat against the white home owners of Juneau oi the mall tore properties ofsas the small store proprietors of Ketchikan."
