 Again the appraisal was chal- lenged in the Portland office," McCutcheon continued. "An off, cial from there was sent here to make a third appraisal.
 'sHe made a quick trip, without use of surveys or instruments, and decided the land was worth only $31 1885"
 McCutcheon said that figure seemed to be what officials in Washington wanted and no fur ther appraisals were ordered.
 "There is great evidence that heavy political pressure wa s brought from Washington to over- rule any finds tending to substan- tiate Alaska's claim," McCuctheon told Senator Hoey by telegram.

PUBLIC LAND RIGHTS OF KOREAN WAR VETERANS FULLY PROTECTED

Bureau of Land Management
 Persons who are homesteaders or claimants on public land in Alaska may rest assured that their rights pertaining to these lands will be fully protected if they are called into active mili- tary service, Secretary of the h. terior Oscar L. Chapman has ad- vised Lowell M. Puckett, Regional Administrator, Bureau of Land Management, at Anchorage.
 In addition the secretary point ed out, veterans of military action in Korea are entitled to the same rights and privileges concerning homesteads and other land acqui- sitions as veterans of World War II.
 "The laws and regulations which provide certain rights and privileges to veterans of World War II in connection with public land disposals still apply to serv- icement and women who are hon. orably discharged from the mili- tary services at the present time," Secretary Chapman said. This is due to the fact that the last war has not been officially ended.
 Those claimants whose rights 10 public land were initiated or ac- quired prior 10 their entrance into the armed services. he added, will have their rights protected during

 Bureau administrators empha- size that homesteading is not an easy way of acquiring land or of earning a living. "It is our policy, however, to encourage legitimate interest in homesteading and other land entry" Associate Director Roscoe E. Bell has stated.
 Briefly stated, the requirements that muse be met to earn title to homestead are: residence on the land (to exclusion of a home else where) for three years, with not more than two absences a year, totaling not more than five months absence year; cultivation of at least one-sixteenth of the area of the land entered Iby the second year, and at least one-tighth of the land each year thereafter until submission of satisfactory final proof of three years compliance with the law; and the construction of a habitable house. Generally, the rights and privileges of veter- ans result in a relaxation of these requirements. Folders giving these rights and privileges in greater detail may be obtained from the Land Office at Anchorage, Nome, and Fairbanks, and from the Bur- eau of Land Management, Wash ington g, D. C.

Palmer Airport
 Deal Hearing Next Week In Capital


 During the controversy in Alas ka officials involved in the trans action defended it as one which had the approval of civil aeronau- tics officials.
 The committee counsel said the Alaska Aeronautics Commission listed itself as owner of the Pal mer site in applying for federal airport grant. That application was cancelled after Territorial of- ficials rejected it on the ground the commission did not own the site. Then, he said, new applica- ton was filed, saying 1t would cost S15O,OOO to buy the land.
 The counsel said that after the federal government put up the $15O,OOO, the land was purchased and the Territory turned back to the Alaska commission $145,000.
 He said those called as witness es for the Jan. IS hearing are George Schwamm, director of the Alaska Aeronautics Commission; Stanley McCutcheon of Anchor age, it's counsel, and Roland Snod- grass, secretary of the Palmer Aeronautic Committee.
 ANCHORAGE (P)-A wire re- ceived yesterday from Senator Hoey O.-N. e. said army engin- ger corps employees who surveyed the Palmer airport sites and as- sertedly set prices of $l20,0O0 and S125,OOO will be asked to appear at a Jan. Is hearing in Washing ton. Holey is chairman of the Sen ate investigating subcommittee that has scheduled the hearing into the controversial Alaska air port deal.
 Earlier, Rep. Stanley McCutch- con had charged that the hearing was being "rigged" with an eye toward damaging the Alaska state hood movement.
 McCutcheon gave this explana- ton yesterday of the transaction:
 "Three men residing at Palmer were first to appraise the land for the Territory. The lowest value any of these three set was $780, 900. The Territory placed it at $150,O00 and proceeded on that basis.
 "When Senator Butler R.-Neb0 came up with his charges the CAA enlisted the aid of district engin- eer to make new appraisal. Sur veys were made and all facts on land values compiled.
 The engineer came to the con- clusion the value was $120,000.
 
 Subsequently, the Portland off, flee of the Corps of Engineers challenged the appraisal and or dered a new one.
 ., Another engineer, a federal employee, and a crew man spent many days resurveying the air port, computing land values and the work performed. They came up with value of $125,000 which was an increase of $5000 over the first appraisal."'
 These two engineers are the lat

This Week

AS testimony in the great de-
bate over the Macarthur affair
droned on before a joint senate
committee, the rest of congress
moved to get some legislative
work done, and there was even
talk In some quarters of sum-
mer recess or early adjournment,
despite the log jam of legislative
matters pending.
Most important of the legis-
lation which must be enacted be-
tween now and June 80 is ex-
tension of the defense production
act of 1850; the extension of re-
ciprocal trade; military and
economic aid to Europe and the
east; the draft and universal
military training and some other
lesser legislation, including more
veterans benefits, rent control
extension, etc.
All major aid programs also
expire June 30. The Presidents
message on this question was ex-
pected to be in the hands of con-
gress before the end of May, and
If congress needs as much time
for debate on the question as in
the past, the deadline will not
be met, and temporary extensions
would be in order.
The foreign aid bill likely will
include the Marshall plan aid
for economic rehabilitation; eco
nomic aid for South Korea, nom
Communist China and nearby
areas; technical aid (the four
point program); arms aid to the
Atlantic pact nations and arms
aid for Greece, Turkey, Iran
Nationalist China and the Philip
pines. 1t may be that discussion
on this easure will determine
insofar as congress is concerned
whether our foreign policy
should place major emphasis or

advises, make the Asian theatre

Make Life Beautiful 80.
BY James Sullivan

What do / have that will make
life better for someone else?
What have l to give? That
should be our attitude towards
life. Too often we want to take
all and give nothing. Everyone
who reads this has heard of the
Dead Sea. Compare it to life. 1t
receives but has no outlet. It's
the same with US. If we only re-
ceive and do not give, we are not
living. To live is to move.
Perhaps many of you are going
out into life for the first time to
earn a living and live. There are
many things which mean more
than getting rich in material
things.
If you find Happiness, you'll
love to give. Too often, we find
applicants for employment ask
ing first, What does this job do
for me?" instead of, What do |
have for it," Imagine a person
20 years old worrying about
whether the company he wants
to work for has an old-age pen
sion plan.
1t has been proved time and
time again, if one is to be happy,
he has to give and not take from
life. n.
It is all right for one to ask:
When is payday? How much does
the job pay? How many days do
| work? But first the question
should be, What are the require
ments for the job?" If we have
the proper requirements the rest
of the questions are in order 1t
has been found if the employer
likes what you have to offer, he
will sell you the job. You won't
have to beg him. He wants to
know what you have to give.
1t is only my purpose in this
column to give suggestions tried
and proved. Do as you will, give
and you'll receive. You can make
Life Beautiful.
