Value Of us Indian
Claims Against us.
Is Incalculable
BY FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - The In \
dams have come long way since
1925 when Peter Minuit put out
$24 in trinkets for Manhattan Is
land.
The modern Redman, who went
on a hard cash basis about the
time he DOTTED his feathers, has
taken another look at some other
early transactions. He obviously
hasn't liked what he's seen.
Indians of the United States and
Alaska now have IT'S claims pend
ing against the government in the
Indians Claims Commission.
Their value is incalculable.
William Langston, commission adj
ministrative officer, says only PA
of the claims seek a specified sum
and these alone total three billion
dollars.
Others merely seek unspecified
compensation. The California
tribes, for example, want payment
for nearly the entire west coast
state-a pretty valuable hunk Of
real estate. They base their claim
on aboriginal rights :. the tradi-
tional use of the land by their
forefathers before the coming Of
the white man.
Other claims originate out of al
legged abrogation of treaty rights
such as construction of a fed
eral dam over an Indian fishing
site or a request for review of
a sum agreed to in a treaty to
determine whether the Indians
received "fair and honest" treat
ment.
1t could be as much as 10 years
before all these claims are re-
solved. It's obvious they won't be
cleaned up by the 1857 legislative
deadline under which the Com
mission now operates.

Wreckage Of Navy Patrol
Bomber Sighted On
Iceland Glacier

LOND Up - The broken
Wreckage of a missing American
Navy patrol bomber was sighted
on a bleak Iceland glacier Friday.
First reoprts said there were sur
vivors among the nine-man crew.
US. Air Force headquarters in
London said an Icelandic ground
rescue party will be rushed by
plane to a small airfield at the
foot Of the glacier.
The P2V bomber was on a
round-robin training mission from
Keflavik Airfield, near Reykjavik
when it disappeared. 1t last con-
tacted its home base by radio yes
terday afternoon. 1t was then
some 100 miles south of Iceland.
All aboard were Navy filters.
The weather was vicious, with
heavy rain and snow cutting visi-
bility to near zero during the
early part of the day, but was i'm
proving later.

Fall Run King Salmon
Eggs Planted Near Juneau
In Fisheries Experiment

JUNEAU, Up - Fifty thousand
eyed eggs from fall run king sal
mon were planted in Montana and
Spring Creeks near Juneau, Dec.
IS. The eggs were donated by the
Washington State Department of
Fisheries after they had incubated
to the eyed stage at the hatchery
near Seattle.
The eggs were air-freighted to
Juneau the day before planting
and mild weather helped the
planting.
Purpose of the project is to de-
termine whether or not fail run
king salmon can adapt themselves
to the small rivers in the territory.
At present, there is no fall run
king salmon in Alaska.
If the young king salmon can
thrive to maturity Ell u d i n g
stream enemies and man - the
return from the planting should
occur in the fall of 1854.

Churchill Hopes The West Will
Offer Russia Security Guarantees
At Big Four Meeting In Berlin

LONDON, R- Prime Minister
Churchill said Thursday he hoped
the West would offer Soviet Rus
STA security guarantees at the
forthcoming Big Four foreign min
listers conference in Berlin.
At the same time Churchill dis
closed he had warned the French
at, the Bermuda conference of the
gravity of the situation" which
would develop over failure to rat
ify the European Army plan.
Opening a one-day foreign affairs
debate in the House of Commons,
Churchill threw his full support
behind the position taken by us.
Secretary of State Dulles. Church
i'll delared:
"When the safety of France, in
deed of Europe, depends upon the
policy of the United States, all the
possible consequences a abandon
ing edo European Defense Com
munity) should be placed square
ly before the French people,"
Britain is ready, he said, to keep
troops on the continent sat least
as long as American troops were
kept there"
Il used the opportunity of the
conference to emphasize the view
which I expressed here on May IL
that the Soviet Union is entitled
to assurances against aggression
after what she suffered at Hitler's
hands.
II think l was successful in
passing upon my colleagues at
Bermuda the justice and advan-
tage of such course, even though
Russian strength is so vast"
He added: ut is my hope that
from the Berlin meeting there may
emerge some means to provide
Russia with a sense of security
arising from other facts than mere
force"
Churchill drew cheers from all
sides Of the House as he declared
'The whole world is in need of
that"
But Churchill pointed out the
Russians had failed to reply so
far to the Vests invitation for a
meeting Of foreign ministers in
Berlin Jan. f.

The Community Christmas Tree program is a
tradition which started back when dog and horse seds
brought trees to Nome.
The same spirit that prompted the people to share
for evening with their neighbors regardless Of age
color politics creed in the middle of the winter while
completely isolated from the world prompts the resi-
dents Of Nome today to share this evening Of enter
tainment with Christmas songs stories and gifts for
all the children as we'll as baskets for the needy.
It has taken many volunteer workers to make the
entertainment possible, starting with those who took
time to solicit the funds to organize and produce the
program to fill the hundreds of Christmas stockings,
decorate the tree and last but not least the citizens
who donated generously to make the event possible
The Alaskan frontier is fast disappearing but as
long as the spirit Of Christmas prevails among the
people it does today there hope that someday the
whole world will take time to celebrate together and
peace and serenity will be for all people everywhere.

Springfield has indicated it
will not operate in 1854 but is
asking $25;000 for it's franchise
So far there have been no
takers. The Massachusetts club
has until December II to post it's
required guarantee to operate
next season and the franchise
can be confiscated if the bond is
not posted.
In the meantime Havana of
the Glass B Florida Information
al League is making frantic ef-
forts to Join the International.
Owner Bob Maduro already has
requested Florida directors for
permission to withdraw so he
can elevate his club to triple A
A determined effort also is
being made to move Richmond.

Richmond for the club but so
far they have been unable to
come to terms.
President Frank Shaughnessy
of the international League has
been holding off Havana until
the Richmond-Springfield situa-
ton is settled. He has hopes
that some sort of solution may
be reached by the December IL
deadline. Another International
League meeting is scheduled for
tomorrow.
The muddle doesn't end there.
The Piedmont League doesn't
take kindly to the possibility of
losing Richmond and has made
all sorts of threatening aes-
lures. The Piedmont has sched-
uled a meeting for this after
noon. There was a report that
Mooers may operate in Peters
burg, Va, if he should dispose
of his holdings in Richmond.
The Florida International
League took no action on Ma
duro's request but named a COM
mittee to meet with Shaugh-
messy to discuss the situation.
No date was mentioned. The
Florida league hopes to fill the
Havana vacancy, when and if,
with Orlando, Fla, now a men,
ber of the Class D Florida State
League. O
