Of Projeet-Western Pow
ers Study New Plan
(By The Associated Press

The three big Western powers
sought today to some up with a
new short-range plan for Germany
that might be acceptable to the
Russians after the Soviet rejection
of the Bonn union project.
The Western Foreign Ministers
held an unscheduled meeting be-
lore coming to grips again with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea Y.
Vishinsky. Their apparent purpose
was to salvage something, if pos
sible, out of the four-power For
eign Ministers Council in Paris.
In the first definite answer to the
Western powers at this session of
the Big -Four, Vishinsky yesterday
rejected their plan to unite Ger
many on the principles of the re-
Gently framed Bonn constitution for
Western Germany.
The United States, Britain and
France were reported still trying to
offer limited objective, such as
economic unity for Germany, which
Russia might find acceptable. This
would get them back to the tangled
issues arising over the rival cur
rencies.
In addition to the broadside from
Vishinsky, Communism dealt
needing attack on the United
states by nominating Gerhart Els
Ter for the Communist-d dominated
Peoples Congress for the Russian
zone of Germany. This set-up is
the Russian reply to the Bonn pro-
ject for Western Germany but it
claims to speak for all Germany.
Eisler himself flew from London
to Prague, enroute to Germany, in
a Czech Airlines plane this morn
ing.
Eisler said on arrival in Prague
that he was glad he was not land
ing in America.
The German-born Communist
said he is enroute to Leipzig to take
university professorship.

DECISION IN
KARLUk(A5E
IS RETURNED
Interior Seey. May Make
Reservation But Not ]
Grant Exclusive Fishing

WASHINGTON, May 81 III -
The Supreme Court ruled today
the Secretary of the Interior may
include tidelands in a reservation
for the use Of Karluk Indians OF
Alaska, but may not give them
exclusive fishing rights in those
waters.
Justice Reed delivered the opin-
ion. 1t was unanimous on the ques-
ton of inclusion of coastal waters
in the reservation.
PARTIAL DISSENT
Justice Rutledge wrote a partial
dissent in which he said the IN
dams may be given exclusive fish
ing rights. Justices Black and
Murphy joined with Rutledge in
full and Justice Douglas joined in
part.
The Karluks long have derived
TIER livelihood from fishing, prin-
cipally from salmon runs, The
Secretary order included In their
reservation offshore waters ex-
tending 5000 feet from low-water
mark.
The order applied to waters at
the mouth of the Karluk river OF
Kodiak Island, off the southern
coast of Alaska.
A group Of commercial fishing
companies won in lower Federal
courts a ruling that the Secretary
was not authorized in include tide
lands IN an Indian reservation.
The Justice Department appealed
70 the supreme court to reverse
the ruling.
Reed said for the majority that
the coastal waters in question are
clearly owned by the United States
and may be included in the reser-
walton by order OF the Secretary OF
Interior.
NO EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
He said, however. that the gov
eminent may not give the Karluks
exclusive fishing rights because the
White Act of 1924 fortids the Sec
rotary Of Interior from giving spe-
cial privileges to any one in
Alaskan fishing reserves.
The majority struck down the
portion of the Alaska Fisheries
Regulations which prohibits sal
mon fishing in the Karluk reserva-
ticn area by everyone except the
Indians.
Reed said that since tcday's
opinion established a new basis for
administrative and judicial action,
the majority retrained from nov
entering final order disposing in
definitely OF the controversy
The entire case was sent back
to the District Court with direc-
tons that 1t allow the Secretary OF
the Interior 80 days in which he
may take new acton.
In the meantime, the court
ordered continued district court
temporary injunction which pro-
hibited the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice from enforcing the ban ON fish
ing in reservation waters.
