 For Touring VPs

WASHINGTON, P) - So many congressman are going abroad or to Alaska that the Military Air Transport Service is said to be hard-pressed to provide them suit able planes.
 In addition, the State Depart ment is reported running short of escort officers.
 Approximately 90 House mem bers and 10 senators are overseas or are planning official excursions during the current adjournment of Congress. Others completed tours earlier in the year.
 Although a few groups chose to travel by ship, most of the law makers preferred to go by air, cov- ering a greater amount of terri tory. Several of the journeys ex- tended around the world.
 The Defense Department is of scientific studies, Secretary of enough planes of the type usually assigned to VIPs-very important persons-officials say. Practically all insist upon plush, four-engine ships.
 The congressman are depend ing on planes to get them back to Washington in a hurry if an emergency should demand their presence. Hardly a spot on the globe is more than two days by fast plane from the capital.

 The provision was that few amendments should be made to the measure.
 Attorney w. C. Arnold said the high tide mark should be used in parceling out any award lands. This, he said, would prevent bar ring of the beaches for logging or other commerce.
 Arnold also said the bill should state that it does not repeal the Tongass Timber Sales Act of 1947 which allows the U. s. Forest Service to sell timber to pulp mills.
 Of the several Indian leaders testifying, sensation was created by Ray Jones, a member of the Haida tribe. He quoted Arnold as saying the US. treaty of ceSsion with Russia was governed by Russian action which had exiting uished native land claims.
 Jones said the treaty never has been ratified by the Haida nation or other Alaska natives.
 The hearings conclude today.

Alaska Believed
 Hunting Ground First Inhabitants

WASHINGTON, (P)-A Smith sonian Institute archeologist thinks nomadic hunters in north ern Alaska 25,OOO to 3O,OOO years ago may have been the western hemisphere's first human inhabi- tants.
 This conclusion of Ralph Sole cki IS contained in the institu- tion's annual report issued Sat urday. Easing his thinking on ex- tensive surveys of archaeological sites in northern Alaska, Solecki said the north slopes of the Brooks mountains in that area may have been mans earliest bivouac in the new world"
 Although ice covered much of the northern half of the continent at that time, Solecki says the Brooks mountain foothills, stretch ing northward to the Arctic, were unglaciated and may have fur nished pastures for animals on which the hunters fed.
 Eventually, Solecki says, these early men hay have trekked east ward to the Mackenzie River drainage and then southward to what is now the western United States. Their peculiar spearheads have been found in this country, SOlecki said.

Mcclellan Backing
Bill 10 Decenfralize
$4,000 Federal Jobs

Decentralization of $4,000 Gov
ernment jobs from Washington to
distant points would be mandatory
under a bill being sponsored by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, OF
Arkansas at the request Of thu
General Services Administration.
The measure is new proposal
to relieve congestion in Washing
ton, as a substitute for the de-
feated program for dispersal OF
agencies in ring around the Cap
ital, Senator Mcclellan explained
Hearings will be held on the new
bill by the Senate Expenditures
Committee, of which he is chair
man, as soon as possible. the
Arkansas laWmaker announced.
His committee now is engaged in
a series of important hearings on
reorganization of congressional
procedures.
Would Demolish Buildings.
Under the bill. introduced q few
DAYS ago, temporary buildings for
about 10000 Federal workers IN
and around the city would be de-
molished.
The administrator Of General
Services, Jess Larson, would be
required to make Office space as
signments outside the national
Capital, after conferences with the
agencies concerned.
At least 10000 jobs would be
moved in the first six months OF
the program, $4,000 additional in
the next six months, and the de-
Capitalization program would be
completed in two years.
Meantime. during the two-yea1
program, GSA would not be per-
mitted to provide Office space in
Washington for more than $4,000
workers.
Senator Mcclellan said he has
asked Federal agencies for their
views on the pending bill. He
hopes for their replies before
opening hearings on the measure
If good progress can be made
on the Congressional reorganiza-
tion bill now under hearings, Sen
ator Mcclellan said it may be
possible to get the GSA bill UP
for testimony some time next
month.
Dispersal Measure Killed.
Legislation for dispersal of Fed
eral agencies into sites within the
nearby States was killed in the
Senate by vote of IS to 80. Dur
ing consideration of that measure,
however, there was substantial in
terest shown in decentralization,
the word used for sending agencies
and their workers to distant points.
Senator Mcclellan said he ia
vored the general idea of decen-
tralization, instead of dispersal to
places within about 20 miles of
Washington. But in sponsoring
the GSA bill, he emphasized, he Is
not necessarily committed to all
its details. He wants to make a
careful study of the proposal.
