NAvAJOS PLEAD

Weatherbeaten Navajo and Hopi
Indians sat in the thick carpeted,
mahogany decorated room of the
House Public Lands Committee the
other day and told story of gov
ernmental neglect.
Shepherded by fortnight Norman
Littell, their counsel, the Nava-
Jos told how the most modernized
country in the world has given
them not one high school on their
entire reservation.
With 24,0O0 children on ressr-
walton the size Of West Virginia, the
U. s. Government has given the
Navajos schools for only 5000
Sam Ahkeah, chairman of the
Navajo Tribal Council, told the
story eloquently.
! 1T is difficult to sit here in this
beautiful building and discuss the
deplorable conditions OF our reser-
vation,' he said. In some cases
our people must travel 400 miles
over almost impossible roads to
reach the nearest hospital.
We need roads, hospitals, and
most mportant-schools,' he beg
ged "Mostof our children grow up
without schooling"
/ Eighty per cent Of the Navajos
are illiterate and Is per cent can
not speak English.
Remarked Rep. John Murdoch,
Arizona Democrat: If the Nava-
jos could live on scenery, they'd be
! rich indeed"
Note-If the Navaios could collect
royalties they claim from the Van
adium Corporation they would be
/ wealthy They own some of the
best uranium deposits in the world,
but through a technicality have
had difficulty in collecting royal
ties.

BY 5ITD0WN

LANSFORD. Pa, April 22.-R--
Six thousand anthracite miners re-
manned at home today in support
Of the underground sitdown strike
Of 10 fellow diggers.
Two. thousand miners walked of
their jobs at Lehigh Navigation
Coal Company operations yesterday

followed suit this morning.
In carrying out the work stop
page, the miners responded to a
stay home" request made last
night by the United Mine Workers
Panther Valley Committee.
UNIV officials in announcing the
planned stoppage last night said it
would continue until the coal COM
pany agreed to settle the pay de-
duction grievance which the Sit
downers blamed for the action.
The sitdown was started on Tues
day by Is miners, but three tired
members of the group returned to

LITTLE HELP FOR ALASKA IN
ANY SUCH PROPOSAL

Under the above caption the Seattle Times printed
the following editorial in recent issue and it is
reprinted here as follows:
Controversy continues over the homesteading OF
government owned land in Alaska's great Tongass Ma
tonal Forest North Dakota's Congressman Lemke
F) had measure before the Both Congress proposing
to open up Tongass Forest lands to settlers in sub
divisions UP to 1920 acres. Now he has new measure
before the House of Representatives that would IN
crease the to tracts of 1850 acres with preference
to be given to veteran homesteaders.
Opposition to these measures has come chiefly from
the United States Forest Service conservator of the
nations forest holdings well from organizations
interested in a farsighted and long-range policy for
development of Alaska.
What Alaska needs primarily is means of live
lihood for settlers Lemke believes homesteaders
should be granted large forest claims so that they
could remove the timber and then utilize the land thus
logged off for farming The Forest Service foresees
however that homesteaders more likely to cut down

Cincinnati Enquirer


While we cannot agree fully with the theory that
the Atlantic Pact is a definite assurance of peace
everlasting neither can stomach most of the argu-
,nents advanced against it. AS we stated days
ago the agreement is a step in the right direction
but has not brought to the goal Of world unity
To argue however that the articles nothing more
than promises of new wars seems to us completely
foolish
Particularly illogical are those pact opponents who
base their statements George Washngtons warning
against foreign entangements To appraise properly
Washington's viewpoint, must consider the mean
ing behind his words. Just what did the first Presi-
dent mean by foreign alliances?" Were he alive
TODAY would he use the same Technology? We think
not.
The America to which Washington referred was
a far different country from the moderns
know It was small, weak family of States loosely
knit into an experiment government. The foreign
nations of which he spoke lay 80 days away
across dangerous seas. They dominant nations
powerful and grasping. The fledgng United States
lacking military economic political strength, might
well beware In those days we were fair game in
the everlasting hunt of world conquest.
Today the United States is the dominant nation
not weeks but hours from the cities OF Europe
and Asia She is strong in all the categories where
Washington found her pitifully impotent She has
of which the most sighted founding
father dared not even dream
1t is we'll and good to bark back to beginnings
when such comparisons are apt and logical But in
this case the comparison cannot stand Washington,
speaking to u S. A. vintage 1776 spoke sensbly. But
he never intended his remarks to be transposed into
the record of l949 He wise enough to know that
words which fit perfectly into given score may be

SHOCK,

For!y-one Killed in First
Quake-Panit Report
ed as Subsiding

SANTIAGO, Chile, April 22.-tR
Another earthquake shook South
Central Chile today. A severe shock
in that region Tuesday night killed
Al persons, according to interior
ministry reports.
A telephone call to President
GABRIEL Gonzalez Videla's office
from the town of Angel said the
new quake was one OF great
violence" 1t hit the town at 1884
am. 1854 am, PST). The gov
ernor of the province, of which
Angel is the capital, said the presi-
dent was there.
The official death list of the
Tuesday night quake dwindled as
panic subsidized and communications
were restored.
A statement from the office OF
President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla
said the destruction was not as
severe as first reported. The presi-
dent is touring the area.
Earlier the interior ministry said
the quake killed 81 persons and in

otherwise, it will be very difficult
for union locals to act. For here
is an illustration of what happen
ed in the past when one local
challenged the honesty of President
Berry
In 1920, the Cilicago local of ta=
union did challenge Berry, accusing
him of using union funds to finance
the Clinchfield, Tenn, Hydroelec-
tric Corporation, which Berry own
ed. The Chicago local sued, prov
ed its case. and got Sl65,000 judg-
ment against Berry, in the course
of which U. S. District Judge A.
M. j. Cochran said.
1T may be that in their wisdom

Berry still to rule over them not

here In the 1920 convention
he said that the unions would fight

their timber for the profit they cap derive from it.
without any regard for proper forest management,
utilization of wood reforesaon practices Much OF
the timber would be wasted and the homesteaders,
having made a stake would not in the end turn out
to be permanent settlers after all Both the timber and
settlers would be gone
The wiser policy, in the opinion of opponents of
the Lemke bill would be open the Tongass National
Forest development of Alaskas infant pulp industry,
which would provide certain livelihood for new popu-
laton, and would guarantee of the timber under
the Forest Services forest management and reforesa
ton policy.
Congressman Lemke's bill did not survive the Both
Congess, and his bill likewise should be allowed
to die in committee 1t would not serve the best
interests either of homeseaders the Territory and
it would endanger of the nations last great stands

BERRY WAS CAR

The aftermath of this case, how
ever, was most significant Though
the Judge rendered sl65.o00 judg-
ment against Berry. it was never
paid Since he controlled the UNI
ion, the judgment was forgiven.
Furthermore, the Chicago local
which brought the suit was penaliz-
ed. The union officers in charge
were thrown out and a steward was
appointed by Berry to run the un-
ion.
For years afterard, Berry ran the
Chicago local through a steward.
This he had the power to do UNI
der the unions bylaws.
Meanwhile. the U. s. Treasury
files against Berry were almost I'M
believable The pressman's head
was given one year in jail for
income-tax evasion, but since he
threw himself on the mercy of the
court, the Government did not have
to prove its case and none of the
amazing details were ever published
However one of the unbelievable
ways in which Berry cheated his
own union was by buying hunt
ing lodge in Canada out OF union
funds for $500. Then he sold It
back to the union for $4,000 In
other words he sold to the union ii
hunting lodge which it already
owned, and pocketed the price =
$4,000.
Berry and other union executives
were also allowed SO day for
travelling expenses. However, they
construed this to mean SO day
whether they were travelling or not,
and Berry drew that amount every
day even while at home.
However, when he travelled, he
had the hotel bill sent to the union
so that he collected twice. This
was in addition to the 50 day.
Between the years 1926 and 1874
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1949-04-22

Berry reported an income OF S74,OoC.
However. the U. S. Treasury, check
ing up on his revenue, arrived at
the figure of $4,000 instead. And
when they prosecuted Berry for IN
come-tax evasion, it is interesting
to note that Berry dipped into the
Union treasury to pay his defense
, attorneys fees-to the tune OF $780,
600.
In other words, the union paid
the expense of defending Berry Tor
cheating the union.
Note-One reason for Berry's
heavy expenses was that he was
supporting two Mrs. Berrys - his
own wife and a Mrs. Alva Berry,
who lived on one of his nearby
farms in Tennessee.

accounts are so blood-curdling the
recital makes your hair stand or
end
Here's a mild example, as re-
ported by Second Engineer John
Lopipara of the SIS Edward T.
Meredith Il saw sharks grab two
Negroes from the Cape San Juan
who were hanging onto life RATS,
and bite off half their bodies. There
were a few bubbles and the Negroes
went down. II ey couldn't even put
up a battle" No more dramatic or
conclusive proof of the power of
shark Jaws can be offered.
Ships Surgeon 1t. Comdr John
Bowers, USS Meredith, writes: The
statement that dark colored objects
are not attacked is not true, for we
were covered with oil and yet at

were not bleeding
There are, it is true, grounds for
belief that sharks are cowardly,
easily scared and usually timid
under normal circum-
stances. This is admitted by all
who are familiar with the big fish
and their habits. But evidence in
dictates that sharks will snap at
tasty bit of human flesh II it is
available.
Yet this doesn't mean that all
sharks are deadly, all ATTITUDES and
waters equally dangerous. The
is true. OF all the 300odd
species of true sharks in the seven
seas, only the whaler, tiger shark,
hammerhead shark, gray nurse,
blue pointer and the great white
shark are definitely known to be
and these are all trOp-
cal and subtropical fish. Add the
blue shark and the brown shark,
and you've about exhausted the list
1t is quite impossible, of course,

which may be cruising along the
surface So it's a good idea to
give the shark all the benefit of
he doubt-avoid all contact. IF a
curious shark cannot be avoided,
