kRUG KICKS. ON PROPOSED. LEGISLATION
Opposes Abolishment of Alaskan Indian Reserva-
 lions States Why

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2e-lR-Se- cretary of the Interior Krug said today Alaskas Indians will be doom ed to virtual destruction" unless they are protected in the use of an cestral lands,
 Inidentical letters to Senator But Ter tR-Neb) and Rep. Welch tR- CaliD, Krug opposed legislation which would abolish Alaskan m- dian Reservations set up by the Se- cretary of the Interior under an Act of May 1886. Butler and Welch are Chairmen of committees studying such legislation.
 Krug said the reservation's act is needed to protect the economic and social welfare of the Natives by en- abling them to set up local self gov ernment.
 Unless the Natives are protected in use of their ancestral areas and are permitted to establish their To- cal governments, the virtual des- truction of these people is almost sure to result, Krug said.
 They must be assisted in their efforts to become sell supporting and to combat the introduction of intoxicating liquor within the Ma tive communities. Liquor has adverse effects upon their economic moral and spiritual life"
 The six reservations already de- signated include 1.540,600 acres, less than half of enc percent of the Ter ritory's land area, practically all ot it tundra with little vegetation or other resources, Krug said. He ad- ded
 "scme of the areas such as the Ventic Reservation are located in the Interior where the soil and cli- matie conditions are not suitable to the growth of vegetables and the usual farm produce
 These lands will not support a large population and are net suitable for settlement and development
 There are thousands upon thou sands of acres of land better suited to settlement by non- Natives which are not occupied or claimed hy Ma tiyes

 This is a year of challenge" MT. Truman told Democratic Party members last night T propose that we meet that challenge head on'
 In a 30-minute Jackson day speech the President never did refer directly to the challenge he faces from angry southeners in his own party.
 Nor did he mention directly the threat to Democratic Presidential chances offered by Henry A. Wal laces Third Party
 But he spoke highly of Thomas Jeffersons attacks against laws that restricted citizenship" And he said the Democratic Party still be- iieves in protecting the rights of "all the groups and individuals in our nation
 Before him as he spoke were B dozen empty seats-paid for and left pointedly empty by Southern CTS protesting his civil rights pro gram.
 MT Truman Jumped opponents of his legislative program together as the forces of 'reactionary conser- vatismn
 He described those who stand against his proposals for improving social security, justice, production, education and housing as defeat ists. backward looking and men of small vision and faint hearts, He said the Democrats offer a parcel of progressive liberalism and progressive liberals will rally ] to the Democratic Party" ! But while the President was mak- ling his confident speech the south ern revolt within his own party got hotter still.

 Previously, Tollefson said, it had been planned to include canned fish in the relief supplies.
 The Representative quoted the Department as saying the European countries do not need the fish as much as other supplies because of an increase in livestock production overseas.
 It said that it costs five times as much per thousand calories to ship fish as it does to ship grain.
 Tcllefson said he was informed dollar credit will be furnished Eu- rcpean countries with which they may purchase fish in this country if they wish. He said he would urge that this be done.

House Subcommittee
 Recommends Alaska
 Be Made Info Slale

WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-lR-A House subcommittee recommended today that Alaska be made state
 It made the recommendation to a still larger subcommittee which met to consider approving the proposal and sending it on to the full Rouse Public Lands Commit tee
 Rep. Crawford CR-Mieh) is chairman of both subcommittees. He and a small group of other Representatives visited Alaska last summer. It is their report which recommends statehood to the sub committee on Territories.
 Should Be Admitted
 "On the basis of the record and findings of fact. the subccmmit- tee concludes Alaska should be ad- mitted to statehood" the report said
 Although statehood bills have been regularly introduced in one congressional session after another, 1t is only in recent years that con- scientious consideration has been given to them.
 That is because the importance of Alaska to the United States as a whole has been brought home to us, and because the steadily in- creasing population of the Terri tory has been diligent ill calling public attention to the differences oi life in Alaska and life in the continental United States
 Benefits
 The report said that under state hood Alaska would become entitled to he benefits of the Federal High way Act; have two Senators and one Representative; have it's judi cialy and police systems revised, and assume jurisdiction over it's fisheries.
 The subcommittee reviewed the rerritory's tax system and said that if it becomes a state it could levy an income tax and make other revisions to meet any added eX- pense which statehood brings about.
 ~The subcommittee recognizes that Alaska has to some extent been -eoasting on it's Territorial status in the matter of raising revenues but 1t also believes Alaska is willing and able to raise nec- essary revenues to support state- hood it said
 Other Recommendations
 The subcommittee recommended that congressional action be taken to return to the University of Alaska the Agricultural Research Station taken from it by terms Of the ls48 appropriation act.
 Alaskas population of around 90,000 persons may be small the report said, but it is larger than that of Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Minne- sota, Iowa, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska when they were admitted to the Union.
 It said 1t has been historic that rapid increase in population fol- lowed admission of territory to statehood

WASHINGTON Memo to Sem

" WASHINGTON Memo to Sen ator Ferguson of Michigan:
 Relative to the investigation of your colleague, Senator Elmer Thoma~ of Oklahoma, here is some further information which I think is pertinent.
 Earlier this week, Senator Thom- as wrote you letter stating that he did not want to be bothered any more or to have his assistants bothered by your investigators. At the very same time he wrote this letter, one of MT. Thomas long time pals and unofficial as sistants was up to his ears in a very peculiar deal which virtual ly cornered the dried-pea market. And there is considerable indlca- ton that he had inside informa- ticn to the effect that the Govern ment was going to buy 6,5Oo,o0o bags of peas.
 The man who pulled this deal, the notorious Dyke Cullum of Tex as, not only is in and cut of Sen ator Thomas office as if he owned it, but according to Thomas own statement, has been acting as Thomas broker in the commodity market.
 Even more significant. when Senator Thomas, as Chairman of the enate Agriculture Committee, was probing the rye market with view to heading off any price control of rye, it was Dyke Cullum who virtually acted as counsel for
