 WASHINGTON tAP) - At least eight petitions are pending be- fore the Indians Claims Com mission on behalf of Alaska's s Indians and Eskimos.
 The list was compiled as rep resenting "big percentage" of the Alaska complaints. The com mission itself has no geographi- cal breakdown of claims filed

 The claim dates back to this country's acquisition of the is- lands from Russia in 1868. Ii IS being handled by Marvin Son. Osky ot Washington, D. C.
 None of the actions ask a specified amount of compensa- tion. In most of the cases, sev- eral attorneys said, invesuga- tions are still under way and the amount to be sought is not yet completely determined.
 The deadllne for fling claims passed at midnight August l3. The Senate has not acted upon Q Eouse-approved Dill 10 exisnd the filing period another year. If ii does, attorneys predict a new burst of claims.
 The Alaska Indians have been too busy fishing, one at torney explained, but when the word reaches them about the recent $27,OOO,00O award to the Ute Indians, they'll take re- neWed interest"
 Tha Interior Department said last month if knew of 15 Alaska tribes interested in filing claims but who had not retained an at torney. Some of these undoubt- edly were in the last minute flood of claims received by the commission.
 James E. Curry, of Washing ton, D. C., attorney who has five Alaska claims pending be- fore the commission, said the principal difference between the claims of Alaska and U. s. In dianS is the absence of any or iginal payment to the former.

On Feb. %, 1910, the general men,
bership of the Buddhist church
passed motion for new temple
and an adjoining auditorium to be
located at l427 Main st.
The chapel of the new church was
built in Oct, 194l, and an appro-
pirate ceremony was conducted to
note the occasion. Then Pearl Har-
Dor and World War II halted speedy
building of the auditorium.
During World War II. the audito-
rum was used by the United States
Marines as sleeping quarters. It
was completed In 1912, shortly before
the wartime evacuation of all Japa-
nese, citizens and aliens alike.
Upon their return from camp in
Puyallup and relocation center IN
Minidoka, Idaho, the Buddhists
resumed their normal way of life
by first holding services at Kendo
Hall. Before long, they came back
to their church. Noting the debts
which still had to be erased from
the books, they launched another
fund drive and succeeded after
half-year effort. The new church,
one of the finest in the Pacific
Northwest, cost the Buddhists APP
proximately $lso,00O.
A ceremony on Sept. rs, ls4S, Of

Buddhists and their friends.
Since its modest beginning at 624
Main st., the Seattle Buddhist tenn
pie has become very much a part OF
the local community. 1t plays vi
tai role as the center Of many Bud
dhist. nom Buddhist and community
affairs.
Except for the evacuation of the
church from e24 to 1020 to 1427. all
on Main ST., the only drastic change
faced by the church and its menu
beers has been the removal Of its pre-
war symbol which was mistaken FOR
Hitler's Nazi party Swastika prior
to World War II and was the target
of rock-throwing hoodlums at the
l02o structure. The symbol since
has been changed to wheel oil

THE CHURCH COMES OF AGE.

sary with a four-day celebration

st.
The history of the Seattle Bud
dhist church.
In 1902, the Buddhist headquart-
ers in Japan sent the Rev. Gendo
Nakai to the Seattle church. And
the Rev. Nakai Immediately pro-
ceeded to establish various substa-
tions throughout the Pacific North
west, including nearby Port Blakely
and cambridge. He also started
school for Issei to teach them the
English language.
Increased membership the follow
ing year 5000 prompted the Bud
dhists here to raise $4,000 for a
permanent church. The Buddhists
applied for and was granted per-
NIT for a church, and acquired a
lot at 1920 Main ST. three years Ia
ter $1,000.
The Rev Nakai, who had been an
instrumental figure in the building
campaign, had to take a leave OF
absence due to illness and sailed for
Japan. He was succeeded by the
Rev. Hoshin Fulfil and work on the
church was temporarily postponed
due to the Rev. Nakai's departure.
BY Aug. %. 1908. however. the
Buddhists had collected more than
$4,000 needed as an initial fund,
and the church at 1920 Main st. was
finished the same year at cost Of
$4,000. A dormitory and library
were included in the church to meet
the needs Of the growing young peo-
pies population.
The opening ceremony at 1920
Main st. was held Nov. $4,000.
In 1912, the Buddhist church de-
cided to let its substations become
independent with their own minis
tiers. White River was organized in
that year, Tacoma in 1918, and va
kima in 1929.
In 193e-about the time when the
Japanese army clique was flexing
its muscles, Hitler and his stooge.
Mussolini, we're proving to be ex-
tremely unfriendly and our country
was casting a wary eye on both the
ATLANTIC and the Pacific-the hous-
ing situation in Seattle became
quite acute. So acute, it forced the
