Mr.. Rhodes, who is a member of

similar bill for postal workers.
His co-sponsors on the postal
measure are Representative Miller,

postal bill was introduced by five

probably the same formula that
they sponsored for the postal

next few days, will also provide
for the transfer of the 100000
employees in the crafts, protective

wage boards for salary fixing pur-
poses. These employees are now
under the Classification Act.
The postal bills introduced yes

RESERVED LANDS ALASKA
STUDY TO pRE(EDE AND MORE OFFERS
 OF RESERVATIONS

Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman will issue no orders establishing additional native re- servations in Alaska until there has been an opportunity to reconsider thoroughly the national policy to- ward Indians and other native groups.
 This was stated in letter re- ceived from Chapman by Robert Boochever, President of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. The letter dated April 21, came in answer te messages sent to the Secretary ol the Interior stating the opposition of the Chamber to the reservation plan.
 Chapman wrote also that he wished to reaffirm his belief "ir the long-standing policy of the De partment of the Interior that tht land rights of the Indians and other native groups in Alaska must bt protected as long as protection is needed"
 Regarding the proposed reserva- tions at Barrow, Shungnak- -Kobuk and Hydaburg, he wrote that ht had decided not to disturb tht orders issued by former Secretary Julius Krug.
 In an election February 4, Bar. row natives rejected the reservation proposed for their area. Shungnak' Kobuk natives also rejected the re. servation offered them when they voted Monday, after the electior date had been postponed from Feb. ruary by Chapman.
 Hydaburg residents voted Mon. day to accept the reservation offered them.
 Actual establishment of these re. servations depended on the cleo. tions, according to Chapman.

 In West Java
Yale Professor and Gore spondent Taken from
 Jeep by Gang

JAKARTA, U. s. I.,April 28-R- A Yale professor and an American correspondent were slain yesterday n West Java-the apparent vic- tims of a ,murderous gang whose motives could not be determined.
 The two were Professor Raymond Kennedy. 43, of Yale University, a noted sociologist known to his stu dents as Jungle Jim" because of 1is urge to explore remote places, and Robert Doyle, 30, native of Chicago who worked for Time and Life magazines out of Hong Kong.
 A spokesman for the American Embassy said the two were killed ,n a paved highway near Tomo. This is in beautiful mountainous area where fanatical guerrilla bands were active during the Dutch -Indonesian warfare. There vas an indication the bodies may nave been mutilated.
 Road Considered Safe
 The road has been considered safe for daytime travel in recent months but most foreigners do no venture along it at night. The road winds through tea and rub Der estates and rice paddles thickly populated with natives.
 The two left Jakarta Wdenesday for Jogjakarta, capitol of the h. ionesian Republic. They spent the night in Bandoeng,s and hoped to make Jogjakarta by last night.
 There was no official account of what happened
 Col. Karl Hisgen, an American observer, got the first report of the killings from the British U. N.
