WASHINGTON, (P) = Tn e Interior Department is trying to work out means for keeping Alas ka's key transportation routes principally, the Richardson High way open next winter.
 James P. Davis, director of the Departments division of territor- ies, told a reporter that winter maintenance of the Richardson Highway is "still in discussion among the various departments" ,"
 Davis said plans for the main tenance have been made, but ac- tual methods of doing the work with the funds that will be avail able have not been yet completed.

Attack Alaska Panel of Indian ClainlsCOnlmissiOn
By FRANK w. VAILLE JAP Special Washington Service,

WASHINGTON, CP) - Indian representatives have bitterly at tackled proposed bill to set up a special Alaska panel within the Indian Claims Commission.
 Sponsors contend the bill would provide an orderly procedure for settling the disputed title to Al aska land.
 But two witnesses, James E. Cur ry, attorney for the Alaska Native Brotherhood and National Con- gresS of American Indians, and Mrs. Ruth Bronson, executive di- rector of the Indian Congress, diff fered with that interpretation
 Appearing before the House In- dian Affairs subcommittee, they centered their attack on a single clause which would prohibit any claimant from being awarded tex elusive rights in coastal waters beyond the low water mark
 Mrs. Bronson asserted the phrase amounted to "confiscation without compensation" of Indian claims to water and fishing rights.
 Curry agreed, declaring it was perfectly clear that the main pur- pose of the bill is not to settle but to settle adversely the Indian claims.
 C. M. Granger, assistant chief of the Forest Service, along with Dillon S. Meyers, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and Delegate Bartlett, sponsor of the bill, urged it's approval with amendements Such a law is necessary, they con- tend, to permit the continued dew elopment of the territory.

Truman Orders Burial In Arlington of Winnebago Indian Killed In Korea

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman today ordered the burial in Arlington National Cemetery of a Winnebago Indian killed in action in Korea, whose interment was halted at Sioux City, Ia., be- cause of his Indian blood.
 The story which aroused the President quoted an army officer as saying the Winnebago Indians burial was stopped by authorities of the Sioux City Memorial Park Cemetery because "only members of the Caucasian race" could be buried in the cemetery.
 The Indian was Sgt. First Class John R, Rice, 37, killed in action, Sept. 6, 1850, while serving with the First Cavalry Division. He also was a veteran of World War II.

SCHOOLS WORTH THEIR COST

The opening of Nome school on September 4, i'm porant as 1t is to the pups teachers and citizens of this area constitutes but small part of the tremen- dous procession of children making another advance in their progress toward education.
 In the United States there is general recognition of the right of every child to education The gov ernments of the commonwealths of the land have accepted the responsibility and public schools, sup ported by public funds, offer educational opportunities to their and daughters as matter of right
 No person can safely assume that our educational processes buildings and equipment curricua and personnel constitute perfect setup, but when we dwell on minor faults, let not overlook the tre mendous values that accrue to society through our educational program.
 The prospect is that the cost of education, along with other services and commodities, will increase in the years ahead This is inevitable but in considera ton of taxation and costs let not forget the abundant return that accrues from ntelligently developed population It is worth much than it costs.

British Police Ask Aid
.0f Sugar Rays Party
To Solve Child Staying
BY the Associoted Press

/ LONDON, July 1.-Two de-
tectives called on American boxer
Sugar Ray RobinSon's party here
today seeking clues in the Staying
of a little girl. The battered, vio-
lated body of the 7-year- -old child,
who vanished from camp out
side Robinson's training camp at
Windsor, was found last night.
Robinson's aides said police
asked questions about "a white
man in a gray suit" apparently
being sought in the killing.
Police called on the Robinson
party at their hotel in downtown
London shortly after they re-
turned from last nights fight,
when Robinson lost his world
middleweight title to Randolph
Turpin.
Two plainclothes detectives re-
turned again shortly before noon
and stayed for 10 minutes.
Child Lived Nearby.
The child, Christine Butcher,
lived in a house only about 30
yards away from Robinsons train
ing camp at the Star and Garter
Hotel in Windsor, a short distance
west of London.
She left home after telling her
parents she wanted to show her
black-face doll "Blackie" to Rob-
Iinson and hoped she might get to
ride in his fuchsia -colored car.
She was not seen again until
her strangled. raped body was
found yesterday in a field of grass
called Stevens Meadow, a picnic
spot along the Thames, not far
from Robinson's training camp
and within sight of Windsor
Castle.
There were cuts on her face
and one arm. The belt or her
blue gabardine raincoat was tied
tightly around her neck.
A bag of candy which she had
been clutching when she left home
lay nearby in the grass.
Girl Was Killed Sunday.
Investigations disclosed she was
killed some time Sunday shortly
after her disappearance.
Police believed she was killed
on the spot where her body was
found. Stems of grass were twined
in the belt around her neck.
George Gainsford, Robinson's S
manager, told reporters that police
had asked a few routine ques-
tions" of Robinson and his wife
to see if they could help in the
search for the killer.
Mr.. Gainsford said the police
told him they were looking for "a
white man in grey suit"
Thank God they're not after a.
colored man in a grey suit" he
added.
Police at Windsor, who had led
the search for Christine, asked
Scotland Yard officers to call on
the Robinson retinue after a med
ical examination of the body.

quick approval Of the plan without
having to 60 through the process
of regular legislation. The Senate
conferees have indicated their
willingness to accept the commit
tees graduated leave formula.
The only question remaining is
whether the committees bill can
be tackled on to the independent
offices money measure. The
Douglas rider applies only to the
annual leave of classified en-
ployes, while the Civil Service
Committees bill also includes
postal workers. Furthermore, the
Douglas rider does not cut sick
leave, while the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committees measure reduces
the present Is days sick leave to
13 days.
| However, the conferees may de-
eide that the graduated annual
leave and the sick leave proposals
are germane. since they pertain
to the same general subject. If
not, then the 20-day leave rider
probably will be retained.
The graduated leave proposal
seems to have caught the fancy of
Congress. AS reported by the
Senate Civil Service Committee
yesterday, the bill would provide
for 13 days annual leave for en-
Iployes with less than two years
service, 20 days for those having
between two and Is years service
and 26 days for those with more
than IS years service.
Military service would be cred
Iited in counting an employees s
years of Government service. Also,
employees would have to serve at
least 80 days before becoming ELI
gible for leave benefits.
Continuous years Of service
would not be required. In other
words. an employe could have a
break of service and still have his
past years in Government counted
for leave purposes. The new sys-
tenn would go into effect next jan
Iuary 6.
The bill would cover classified
and postal workers, which is a
break for most postal employees.
Ut would mean a cut in present
annual leave benefits for most
Government workers: but once
they reached the 15-year mark in
the Federal service, they would re-
|ceive the 26 days leave all classi-
ed employees now get. OF course,
those Federal employees who now
have more than Is years of service
would continue to receive their
present 26 days annual leave
benefits.
While sick leave would be cut to
13 days. the committees bill would
more than compensate for it by
allowing employees to accumulate,
from year to year, all the unused
sick leave coming to them. This

House Group Sends
i Senate-Passed Bills
To District Committee

Seven Senate-paSSed bills, in
Icluding one to prohibit the sale
here of rockflsh that weigh more
than Is pounds, have been ap-
proved by the House District Ju-
dietary Subcommittee and sent to
the full District unit for action,
probably next week.
The rockf1sh bill. which has
been pending in Congress for
years, is intended to protect the
species o. saving the larger fish
for spawning.
The subcommittee, according to
Committee Clerk William N. Nc
Leod. strongly opposed a Senate
bill requiring premarital examina-
|tions for syphilis before marriage
licenses could be issued. The bill
is believed to be dead for this
Congress
In addition to the fish measure,
Others approved late yesterday by
the subcommittee, headed by Rep
resentative Harris, Democrat, Of
Arkansas, would:
Authorize the District Commits
sioners to settle suits against them
up to $4,000. instead of the $1,000
present limit.
Fix the duties and responsible
ties of the District disbursing
officer.
Increase fees for jury duty in
condemnation cases from the
present SIS to $40 a day.
Authorize a deputy disbursing
officer and assistant disbursing
officer for the District.

of podiatary from 81 to S..
Change the date for issuing
licenses for sightseeing vehicles
from the present March Is to
March l, and the date for issuing
licenses for ambulances and pas
senger vehicles for funerals from
the present July / to April !.
The subcommittee held over
three other Senate-passed bills
for more information. They
would: Authorize the Board of
Public Welfare to make more use

trict Commissioners authority to

ierty to improve boundary lines,

would mean a tidy accumulation
in case of a long illness Federal
workers now may not accumulate
more than 80 days sick leave.
Exempted in the bill would be
the Veterans Administration S
doctors, dentists and nurses, who
would continue to receive so CAL
indar days leave. Also exempt
would be commissioned officers of
the Public Health Service and
Coast and Geodetic Service, Who
now receive military leave bene-
fits. Panama Canal Zone workers
would continue to get the 40la
days combined annual and sick
leave.
Foreign service employees would
come under the graduated :eave
system, but they would receive a
bonus of one extra week for each
four months they served overseas.
This extra leave would go to them
when thhey came home, with the
proviso that they could not ac-
cumulate more than so days.
PAY-Both the House and Sem
ate Civil Service Committees meet
in separate closed sessions to-
morrow to draft Federal pay raise
legislation. The two groups are
expected to report widely different
bills. The House group favors
a fiat pay raise approach, with
ower-salaried employees getting
at least as much. if not more, than
higher bracket employees in the
way Of pay boost, while the Sem
ate group seems to favor a percent
age increase. The Senate COM
mittee appears all set to approve
an average 8.4 per cent pay in
crease for classified employees but
has not yet made up it's mind as
to the amount it will vote for
postal workers.
PROMOTIONS-The Civil Serv-
ice Commission has made it easier
for Federal employees to gain pro-
motions more quickly. The previ-
Gus rule that an employe must be
in a job six months before becom-
ing eligible for promotion has
been relaxed to three months for
employees in grades GS-5 and be-
low.
AS for GS-5-and-above en-
ployes, once they serve out the six
month period, they will be eligi-
BILE for all the promotions their
agency wants to give them. Pre-
viously, they had to wait six
months for each grade promotion.
The commission said the new
regulations were issued to stop
inter-agency raiding of employees
that has resulted from the ma
tlonal emergency program. The
idea seems to be that. if employees
get a quicker chance of promo
tions in their own agencies, they
won't be so interested in transfer
ring to other bureaus.
NO CUTS-Even though the
House Appropriations Committee
cut S206 million in budget esti-
mates from the 1852 Commerce
State-Justice Department money
bill yesterday, the measure would
not necessitate any cuts in Federal
personnel.
In fact. the Justice Department
would have enough money to hire
several thousand employees for the
FB1 and the immigration and
Naturalization Service. State and
Commerce would just about retain
their present number of employees.
The committee, incidentally, re-
jected all requests for additional
automobiles, and requests for re-
placements were reduced substan-
