By FRANK w. vAMLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 -- R = Indian representatives have bitterly attacked a proposed bill to set up special Alaska panel within the Indian Claims Commission.
 Sponsors contend tt,f htll would provide an orderly procedure foI settling the disputed title to Alaska land.
 But two witnesses, James E. Curry attorney for the Alaska Native Brotherhood and National Congress of American Indians, and Mrs. Ruth Bronson, executive director of thf Indian Congress. differed with that interpretation yesterday
 Appearing before the House In- dian Affairs subcommittee, they centered their attacks on single clause which would prohibit any claimant from being awarded "ex- elusive rights in coastal waters beyond the low water mark"
 Mrs. Bronson asserted the phrase amounted to "confiscation without compensation of the Indian claims to water and fishing rights.
 Adverse
 Curry agreed, declaring it wal perfectly clear that the main pur- pose of the bill is not to settle : but to settle adversely" the Indiar claims.
 He contended that ample oppor. tunity is available under present law to settle the Indian claims.
 "This bill," he asserted, ''is an attempt to take the most import ant part of the Indian lands without ever court hearing"

Sumner Siraii Pink Run Good; West Coast Poor

Outer Summer Strait, Tuxekan
 and Tebenkof, are beginning to
 make a good showing for the late
 run of pinks but the west coast is
 poor. This was the word brought
 to Juneau today by c. Howard Balt-
 20, assistant regional director of the
 Fish and Wildlife Service. Baltzo, with Seton Thompson, chief of the Alaska division of fish cries for the service, and Frank Hynes, fisheries management SUD- ervisor, made an aerial survey o1 southeastern Alaska fishing areas over the weekend.
 He said seiners in west coast waters off Cape Addington are at a virtual standstill, as far as fish ing goes.
 The west and east coasts of Prince of Wales Island are as bad, Baltze reported but added that Thompson and Hynes are aboard the service vessel Brandt in that area watching to see if run materializes. He said that numerous requests are already coming in for an ex- tension of the season beyond Sept. 3, when it is scheduled to close. Baranof and Chichagof districts seem to have had their late runs Baltzo said. The only exception 1T that area is run into Sisters Lake which appears excellent. The rest of the area is disappointing.' he said.
 He pointed out that one of the brilliant features of the year is the excellent cohoe run. Tt has been very profitable for trollers and gill netters.
 "So many fish have been available that canneries have been buying them for canning, which is unusual Cohoes are generally sold to colo storages and shipped south frozen

 O. M. Granger, assistant chief of the Forest Service rrged the com snAttce to stuGy ciesssy the effect which granting tidelands claims might have on the ability of thf service to get it's timber to market
 Most forest service timber in Alaska, he said, grows down to the shoreline and is most easily moved by water. Lack of assured use of tidelands might tie. up the timber movement.
 But Granger, along with Dillon S. Myer. Commissioner of Indiar Affairs. and Delegate Bartlett oi Alaska, sponsor of the bill. urged its approval with amendments. Such 2 law is necessary. they contended, tc permit the continued development oi tne terfltOfy.
 "Sham and Delusion"
 Shortly after Chairman Morri' D-Okla) expressed his intent oi doing everything possible" to holc hearings on the bill in key Alaska cities, Curry stoutly protested that such hearings would be shan and delusion" unless the Indian: were given the right to choose theil own counsel.
 Contracts for legal counsel pre- sently are subject to approval b. the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
 Morris indicated the Alaska hear ings probably would be held in Oc tober.
