With reference to the article pub lished in the Feb. 27, 1949 issue of the Alaska Sunday Press and the Feb. 28, 1949 issue of the Daily Alaska Empire by the Grand Presi- dent of the Alaska Native Brother hood, there is some misunderstand- ing as to the last paragraph, by rea- son of which the public has assumed that it states a policy adopted by the Alaska Native Brotherhood; viz, that the Alaska Native Brotherhood has endorsed the transfer of Indian edu- cation to the Territory with prayer for continuance of the Federal appropriations.
 For the information of the public, the position of the Alaska Native Brotherhod is this that while the proposal of the Grand President is still under consideration, it has not yet been approved.

ent turmoil is the technicalitles Of
the OEEC setup itself. According
to procedure adopted by the Or
ganization's first conference in
July, 1947, screening committees
to deal with governmental de-
mands for ERP aid are composed
of representatives of three states
excluding the nation whose pro-
gram is under discussion.
When heavy cuts are made in
one program the nation affected
takes revenge at the earliest op-
portuhity by tough attitude to-
ward the programs of the three
nations which have made the
decision.
This little game has resulted in
"a frenzy of cuts which have
Whitfield down the entire aid
program of s4,466, 100000 which
Europe originally hoped for to
SO 200, 100000. Some cuts have
been so drastic that almost i'm
mediate readjustnents have had
to be made, causing considerable
waste of time.
During recent days the various
program committees have had to
bring up most of the figures their
various sections had cut down in
order to put the general figure in
proper relation to the $3,628280,-

Hoffman Due in Paris
For Talks Tomorrow
Amid ERP Discord
By Paul Gholi
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News

PARIS, Aug. 13. When Eco
nomic Cooperation Administrator
Paul Hoffman arrives here tomor-
row he will find representatives
Of the Is Marshall plan nations
headquartered here in a turmoil.
Some members of the Paris
organization are hardly on speak
ing terms with others.
Moreover, Paris is rife with
rumors about the real" purposes
of the chiefs tWo-day visit at this
particular time coinciding as 1t
does with severe tension that has
arisen between nations over Euro
pean Recovery Program distribu-
tions.
Officially Mr.. Hoffman is COM
ing here to confer with Office of
European Economic Cooperation
experts and French officials. His
journey is described as purely
fact finding"
Higher Gold Price Sought.
The French, however, are at
taching much more Importance to
the visit For one thing, reports
from Washington describe the
ECA chief as greatly concerned"
with the overall effect on Euro
pean economy on pound sterling
devaluation, if unaccompanied by
a higher price for gold in the
United States and general
alignment of European currencies.
This may be a bit of wishful
thinking on the part of the French
as they have been constantly
harping in Washington on the
need for a higher gold price.
Meanwhile, ERP officials here,
warned to make no comment on
sterling devaluation, strongly deny
that Mr.. Hoffman's Paris visit has
anything to do with England's
present financial plight.
Most well-informed observers
are convinced that in the end
the European nations will agree
among themselves on the distribu-
ton of the precious American
mama. But meanwhile, uncer-
tainty and nervousness is delaying
the 1949-50 reconstruction pro-
grams.

c ommittee to 100000, 900.
France, which has been brought
down to $7O0, 100000, is expected
to get around 100000, 900. West
ern Germany had been cut down
by only 100000 on its original
demand for $460,000, 10000. The
consensus is that that sum will
not be further currailed.
Mr.. Hoffman will see members
of the Executive Committees dur
ing his two-day stay here. They
will get his general advice as well
as the latest information on the
sum the American Congress is
willing to release for Europe this
