367 square miles, not remember, at Point Barrow for 367 estimated Natives.
 28OO square miles in the Kobuck River section for some 150 Natives
 With these and other possible withdrawals what price statehood?
 We can then enjoy being taxed for "Federazed State" with ghost" powers for sending representa- tives to Congress
 There's one right which will remain-we foot the bill.
 And in the same edition under the caption, "A- aska Public Wants to Know" here is another hit at the land withdrawals.
 There are few things the Alaskan public would like to know. Secretary of the Interior know and approve of the last-minute official acts of Julius Krug in With drawal order for additional lands?
 Krug made the orders the day before and the same day Chapman was sworn into office, according to press dispatches.
 Why the sudden hurry?
 Three years ago Krug promised no additional land withdrawals would be made in Alaska WlthouC the people of Alaska being first notified
 This was after large previous withdrawals
 Even Alaskas Delegate in Congress did not know that such withdrawals were to be made, according to his own statement.
 The question arises was Krug putting something over on Chapman as his last official act or did he make the order because Chapman did not want to father it?"
 The Alaska public has right to know the score It is their resources lands that being uggied

The battle of the Admirals isn't over yet. Admiral Blandy, con- mander- in-chief of the Pacific and Atlantic fleets, fired another round last week while at the New York Yacht Club. He told Navy aud fence that they must keep up the fight not only in writings and speeches, but in everyday conversa- tion. The new FILA policy against racial discrimination isn't worth much. It won't stop landowners from enforcing racial restrictions as long as they don't put it in writing. .sSecretary of State Ach- eson may deny it, but he has al- thorized George Kennan to begin drafting new international con- trol plan for atomic energy in the light of Russia's successful atomic bomb explesions The new plan prob ably won't be accepted by the Rus sians, but it will face the fact that they now have the bomb. Gen. eral Macarthur has recommended that the 27 American lend-lease frigates which Russia has finally returned to us now be given to the Japanese. Macarthur feels it is time to rebuild the Japanese Navy as a bulwark against Communism in the Far East.

ALASKA STATE ''BEING ROBBED"

Several days ago Associated Press dispatches red dispatches concerning withdrawl of more lands in Alaska last parting order of then Secretary of Interior Krug
 Under the above heading here is what Sid Charles of the Ketchikan' News has to say:
 Alaska is being robber future State. &
 few more land withdrawals and there will be little left for statehood residents
 On one occasion Governor Gruening wanted to know what Sid Charles meant by harping away that only "Federalized shell" would be left for state hood.
 Of Alaskas approximately 37ooooOoo acres of public land already about one-third had been with drawn by governmental ukases before Krug made his last withdrawals
 Less than one per cent of the lands are privately owned.
 Now get this and let it soak in-in case of state hood the population of less than 0O0Oo-both whites and natives-will pay the tax to support this shell
 Here's the score previous to the more recent withdrawals:

The American Charge D'Affaires in Madrid, Paul Culhertson, has cabled the State Department that crop conditions are extremely bad and a Spanish revolution may start anytime. Culbertson reports that the only way to prevent the over throw of Franco is an American loan.

Buck Furby Funds Come In Slowly

While Buck Furby lies on a bed at the county hos
pital and worries about how long he can enjoy his effici-
ent care and clean surroundings, contributions to the
fund which will provide for his future are being re-
ceived slowly, J. F. Velcieh, chairman of the Elks vel
fare committee, sponsor of the drive, said.
Bucks paralysis is no better since he entered the
hospital. His spine is just as twisted and his arms and
legs are Just as useless. But his spirit is a lot lighter.
Removal from the leaky shack of a house, where he lay
in a filthy bed beset BY reaches, was a treatment the
success of which can not be questioned.
But unless contributions are received from persons
more fortunate than this helpless 20-year-old, he will
probably have to be returned to his former surround
ings, Mr.. Vecich pointed out.
Plans are being made this week to accelerate the
drive. In the meantime, anyone desiring to donate may
do so at the banks, industries, Elks club and Chronicle
Star and Advertiser.
