The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

 (Copyright, 1850. by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON-Despite the hue and cry about friends of the Chin ese Communists in the State De- partment, top-secret documents in the files of the joint chiefs of staff will reveal that major decisions on China were made, not by State Department advisers but by hard headed generals.
 The salty seadog, Admiral Leahy; the sober military planner, General George c. Marshall, and their as sociates on the joint chiefs pushed the most far-reaching decision made by the United States on the Far East.
 That decision, argued back and forth in the White House and the Pentagon for weeks, was to admit Russia to a partnership in Asia. Back of this were frightening mill itary logistics and lack of faith in the atomic bomb.
 The somber argument given President Roosevelt by his most trusted military advisers was, "The invasion of Japan will cost 100,- 900 Amsrican casualties unless a Russian attack across Manchuria pins down every Jap unit on the mainland"
 Simultaneously there were skep- tical reports to the joint chiefs from General Leslie Groves, Chief of the Manhattan District, which said the United States could not count on the atomic bomb to achieve major damage. Such lead-

Asking All About Land Be- ing Enough Reseind
 Reservations Since '36

WASHINGTON, April 26-LR- Senator Butler (R-Neb) is ham, mering away at Alaska statehood witnesses on his contention that pending legislation would not give the proposed new state enough land.
 For two days Butler has asked each witness appearing before the Senate Interior Committee on the House-passed statehood bill whether he believes four sections in each township was fair portion to give the proposed state.
 They generally have replied that this is the same amount that was given other states when they were admitted to the Union. But the witnesses have usually added they would like to see Alaska get more. Butler himself has introduced an amendment to give the proposed state every other section of land in each surveyed township. His proposal would extend the same provision to newly surveyed land in the future, just as the bill says four sections of land surveyed here after shall belong to the state.
 Yesterday Butler commented that he is not certain that other states were given only four sections of land in each township when they came into the Union He said he was having a study made. Secretary Chapman of the Inter for Department, the first witness for the administration, told Butler that he believed four sections in township was sufficient for the new state. He said, however, he was ready to agree with Buffers proposal or any other increase in the land to be given Alaska to get the statehood bill approved. Butler then introduced another amendment.
 To Hit Reservations
 This would resclnd orders or the Interior Department creating reser- vations in Alaska. It would apply to all reservations created since 1886 in Alaska. It specifically would apply to the Akutan, Karluk, Wales, Unalakleet and Nenetie res ervations.
 The amendment also provides that the departmnet may issue patents to native tribes, villages and individuals for land used or occupied for townsites, villages, smokehouses, gardens, burial grou- nds or missionary stations. If they are situated in National Forests the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture would be necessary.
 Witnesses questioned by Butler have told him that they oppose reservations because Alaskan In- dians are taking their place In society along with the whites They have added the Indians them selves do not want reservations.
