MIaianuska Indians Demand Payment for Valley; Almost Miss DeadIine

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 -R- Indiaas who once roamed the rich Matanuska Valley in Alaska want the government to pay for their being deprived of it.
 The ciaim of the Indians, now living at Palmer, Alaska, was the last filed with the Indian claims commission before a deadline Mon- day
 L1@A many of the claims, it ask ed no specific amount, leaving that to the claims commission. That body has until April, 1857, to clear up the 645 cases pending before it.
 The Palmer Indians contend they have been deprived of the continued use of the Matanuska Valley lands and adjoining waters on which they formerly lived.
 Their claim, filed by William H. Olsen, Anchorage attorney, was submitted through the Interior Departments Bureau of Indian Affairs.
 Almost Missed
 James A. LangstOn,. admins trative officer, said the Palmer claim almost missed the dead line, because it was addressed in care of the Indian Affairs of- flee.
 We got wind of it at the last minute" Langston explained, and sent page over to pick it up.'
 Officials estimated the Indian claims for all of the United States and Alaska may total l5 billion dollars.
 A five-year period in which they could file their claims against the government expired Monday. In all, 645 claims were put before the Indian claims commission.
 In only one-fifth of them was an estimate made as to the amount of money sought. These totaled $3,O16,377, sos.
 Thus if the others average the same. the total might be $l5,ooo'- 100000, or even more.
 But Edgar E. Witt of waco, former Texas governor and chair- man of the three-man commission, explained toga reporter that the court of claims which previously handled such cases, allowed oniy two per cent of the amounts claimed before it.
 I'm not predicting what tnls commission might do,' Witt salo.

Territorial Navy Hiis Shoals in
 Auditors Office

The Territorial Nay" hit a reef today in the form of Terri torial Auditor Neil Moore when he refused to honor two vouchers.
 A $2,800 insurance voucher and a voucher for $500 in fines against the owners of the My Chilkoot were disallowed this morning by Moore. The Chilkoot was pur- chased in June by the Territory and is operated as a ferry between Juneau and Haines with calls at Skagway.
 They were presented to the au- ditor by Frank Metcalf, Territor- ial highway engineer under whose office the Chilkoot operates.
 Insurance Listed
 The insurance voucher lists a premium of S2,800 on the vessel with it's valuation given as $40,000 and $l0o000 liability policy on which the premium is $500. A no- tation on the bill from Shattuck Agency. where the insurance was purchased, subtracts $900 from the ss3 roc total Of the two premiums as having been paid by the Chil- koot Motorship Lines. When it was paid or what period it covers is not mentioned.
 Moore bases his disallowance of payment of the S2S00 balance to the fact that the premiums are not prorated. The policy was taken out on May !, 1851 to run until May !, 1852. "The Terri tory did not purchase the vessel until June 19," Moore stated.
 In regard to the $500 fines against the owners of the ferry Chilkoot, Moore disclosed letter written by Merlin O'Neill, vice. admiral and commandant of the U. s. Coast Guard which cited cause of the fine and stated that $500 of the original $l,l0o was cancelled fin view of all the cir cumstances' and provided the $500 against the owners of the vessel was paid to the commander of the l7tlf Ceast Guard District.
 Carried Freight
 The fine, the letter stated, was levied on June 4 when Coast Guard inspector boarded the vessel at Tee Harbor, on It's arrival from Seattle, and found the vessel had carried freight from Seattle in violation of the terms of its certificate of inspec- ton. The letter added that the $500 must be paid within 30 days of Aug. ], or the case would be turned over to the United States Attorney for collection of the original sum of SLIGO.
 Moore said he was disalloWing the voucher because the fine IS against the owners of the vessel who, at the time were Robert Sommers, Steve Homer and as- sociates.
 Claimants of disallowed vouchers can ask for hearing of the Ter ritorial Board of Examiners which consists of the governor of Alas ka, the Territorial treasurer and attorney general.

Joy Proposes Meet Around Instead of Across Table

MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 15-iRl- United Nations delegates suggested today that a subcommittee be set up to break through the formality of Korean truce negotiations and at tempt to settle the buffer zone dead lock.
 Red delegates showed interest, a LIN spokesman said.
 Simultaneously, LIN command headquarters in Tokyo announced that the Allies, if necessary, will continue destroying or driving out of Korea" the Red Chinese and Korean armies.
 At Kaesong the chief LIN delegate, Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, proposed a two man committee-one from each side-seek an end to the dead lock in an air of informality.
 He proposed the subcommittee meet around rather than across the table," They would thus es- cape "the formality of utterances" which he said contributed to the three- week old dispute over where to place a military dividing line across Korea that would separate opposing armies during an armis- tice.
 Joy asked the Communists to re- ply Thursday. The negotiators meet next at I pm. (lo pm. Wednesday EST).
 Reds Interested"
 The five Red generals showed more visible interest in Admira Joys proposal than they have showr in any other statement" Brig. Gen William P. Nuckols reported. Tt was sufficiently different to call for theil undivided attention" Nuckols com. mented.
 Botb delegations appeared mor' cheerful than usual when they lef the meeting place, pool dispatch from Kaesong said. And Communis newsmen on the scene hinted tht Reds might be willing to discuss z demarcation line based on the pre-. sent battle front, as the Allies de mand.
 Delegations have been stymiee since July 27 over the location O. the demarcation line.

Murder, Inc, Out
OF Business

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 QNS)
A noted New York prosecutor,
who sent seven Murder, Inc"
killers to the electric chair, said
today that the Malta, so-called
Secret Crime Society, is out Of
business.
Burton B. Turkus makes the
statement in a new book in which
he says the Malta has been ''vir-
tually out Of business for two de-
cades." He says the Malta, or
"black hand" society, was purged
by Charles "Lucky' Luciano and
replaced by the more modern
unione Siciliano.
Turkus discusses these and other
sensational aspects of the nation
al crime picture in the book, "Mur-
der, Inc, the story Of the syndi-
cate" It is co-authored by Sid
FEEDER, a veteran ex-newsman.
It was as a young assistant I'M
der William O'Dwyer, then District
Attorney of Brooklyn, the Turkus
prosecuted members Of Murder,

fla no longer operates is at sharp
issue with the Kefauver Senate

thors say:
Here was a sworn charge in
open court, by a man on the in
side, linking the highly placed Hill
man, either directly or through
aides, with top level lords of or
ganized crime while he was head
of Amalgamated.
"And most startling of all, at
the very time this was alleged,
Hillman was co-director to the Of
flee of production management in
the United States World War two
effort, considered in many quart
ers to be as close to the White
house as any man in the nation.

Turkus Identifies the now-exil-
ed Luciano as the boss and Frank
Costello and Joe Adonis among
the stop BRASS of the Unione ST.
ciliano.
The book says that the national
Crime Syndicate was born in 49,
"a as the brain child Of Johnny
Torrio, the ex-gangster who built
up Chicago's crime empire and
turned it over to Al Capone.
The authors maintain that no
major gang killing has occurred
since 1884 without the consent or
direction of the syndicate bosses
excluding 1850 murder Of Char
les Binnagio, the political gang
ster of Kansas City.
Sworn testimony is cited which
the authors interpret as linking
the late Sidney Hillman, president
Of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union, with the operat-
ions of top level crime bosses.
They included the late Louis

WORLD TODAY

in Paris today to spell out the big
three's resolution aimed at paving
the way toward world disarma-
ment.
Acheson handed the proposal
drafted by the U. S., Britain and
France-to general assembly pre-
sident Luis Padilla Nervo last
night. Here's what it does: Calls
for creation of a 12-nation group
to. map basic plans for a global
disarmament conference a
meeting which could include Red
China. However, a U. S. source
quickly emphasized that inclusion
of Communist China in such a con-
ference definitely would not imply
American recognition of the Pei
ping regime.
Through the new proposal we've
disclosed our complete readiness
to have the world take a new look
at the possibilities Of control Of
atomic weapons. Acheson plans to
stress that during his Paris ad-
dress today.
Here's another story from Paris
49,. Charles A. Lindbergh's con-
troversial pre-war survey Of Nazi
Germany's air force is said to have
been made under secret u. S. war
department orders. Lindbergh was
heavily criticized at the time when
he accepted a German medal from
Hitler's air chief, Herman Goer-
Now the Lone Eagles real goal
is said to have been up-to-the
minute data on Hitler's Lufwaffe.
The story is told by two British
journalists. They say that Lind
bergh was so successful that he
brought home deals which proved
invaluable to the west when World
War II broke out.
