Where Did De Soto
 Land In America?

TAMPA, Fla, (P) - There is prospect of a 25-acre public park, if someone can decide just where Hernando De Soto landed in America.
 The park is intended as na- tional monument to the Spanish explorer. The public lands com mittee of the U. s. House of Rep resent3tives has recommended a bill to set aside 25 acres at the l539 landing place as a national monument.
 But nobody knows just where to put it.
 A Congressional commission once made a study. It reached no conclusion, but suggested the site might be at Shaw's Point, on the south side of the Manatee river.
 Other historians theorize it may have been even as far south as the shores of Charlotte Harbor.

Airlines Prepare For Large Influx of Baby Passengers

SEATTLE, (P) - AirlineS pur- chasing agents in Seattle plunged bravely into "operation diaper" as they prepared for heavy fights of army dependents - women, children and babies to Japan and Alaska.
 Northwest Airlines took off yes terday from the Seattle Tacoma airport with the first of an estim- ated 2,000 dependents who will be transported to Japan during the next three months.
 Today Alaska Airlines began similar flights to Alaska and will continue them through March.
 A heavy backlog of dependents awaiting transportation to the Or tent and Alaska caused the army to switch from surface to air trav- el. The backlog was created, army officials said, when several trans ports were laid up for repairs and conversion.

Indians May Jump Trap Sites If Leas. ing Law Passes

WASHINGTON, (P) - Alaskan Indians may jump" fish traps if the bill to license traps in Terri torial waters for Is years becomes law, a tribal attorney told Con- gresSional committee.
 This may be called trap jump ing by those who don't like it," said Miss Frances Lopinsky, coun- sel for Southeast Alaska Indians, but who is doing the jumping? The Indians were there first"
 Her arguments against the bill were set forth in a brief filed with the joint Senate-House sub-com- mittee which is considering the legislation. The committee con- cluded its hearing last Friday but permitted Miss Lopinsky to come in later with her brief.
 She said big salmon canners had been buying and selling traps for years for S1O,O0O to Sl00,00O or leasing them for as much as $3,500 a year.
 What the operators are buying and selling," she said, "is the promise of the last user of the site not to attempt to use it during the term of the agreement, promise valuable only because all of the big operators have combined to make life miserable for any new conner who tries to break into the industry"
 She said the industry ought tc be happy with such an arrange ment but there was the danger il might be interpreted as illegal or some other person might get to a trap site first.
 "As a matter of fact" her brief continued, several Indian groups I represent are planning to set out their own traps this coming sea- son, if this Congress does not pro- hibit them from setting out traps and earning their own living" .. She contended the bill would grant salmon packers vested rights, in the trap sites and bar newcomers from the best fishing

Small Newspapers Should Organize
 To Produce Print

WASHINGTON, (P)-A Senate committee Friday advised small and medium sized U. s. newspa- pers to finance news print mills in Alaska comparatively to supply their demands.
 The report said:
 "The subcommittee recom. mends that until such questions have been determined, small and medium sized newspapers, who are the principal sufferers from lack of newsprint, should give se- rious consideration to banding to- gether in a cooperative enter prise-perhaps even to the extent of participation in the financing of neWsprint mill, or neWsprint mills, in Alaska, to assure them selves a steady source of supply.
 'The subcommittee recognizes there are great difficulties in working out such a venture, but feels that it is challenge to the ability of free enterprise to solve its own problem-a challenge which free enterprise and a free press cannot afford to ignore"
 The group, subcommittee of the Senate small business commit tee, said development of the news print industry and the Territory generally is dependent upon "vastly improved transportation facilities"
 The committee includes Senator Cain R.-WashO.
 They reported fears in Alaska that newsprint production might result in discharge of acid into the waters, thus harming the fish ing industry. They said care must be exercised to prevent this.
 The Senators recommended a careful survey of housing condi- tions in the Territory and a com plete study of power possibilities by the federal power commission. It proposed plan be drawn up for recruitment of labor for the proposed paper mills.
 The committee said it has con- cluded that no appreciable amount of pulp wood can be produced from the Tongas national forest until at least the spring of 1851.
