Court Upholds State Trap Ban

JUNEAU -(AP)- Judge Ray mond J. Kelly denied a prelimin- ary Injunction against the State in a fish trap case involving three Indian villages. The denial, for mality to clear the way for an appeal to the Supreme Count, fol lowed court action granting con- tinuance in the arraignment of three defendants charged with violating state anti-trap laws. Atty. Gen. John Rader asked that the pleadings of the three defendants be put over until the fall term of the District Court. Named in the charges for violating the 1859 fish trap ban are Ernest Williams, Sr., president of the Rake village council; Herbert A. Hansen, fore man of WhiZ Fish Products Co.,, Seattle, and the Whiz firm itself. which operates Rake Cannery on contract with the village.
 Mike Monagle, Juneau attorney representing the three defendants, waived reading the charge and supported the motion to delay pleadings, providing the two men named in the charges would con tinue free without bond.
 Judge Kelly asked Rader whe- ther there would be any need for a bond. Absolutely none, your Honor" the attorney general re- piled.
 With the Supreme Court in sum- mer recess, an appeal will be laid before one Justice with the request the restraining order pending be given full review by the court. R. L. Jernbeg and c. L. Cloudy, at torneyS for the defendants. plan to leave for Washington Sunday to make an appeal. Jernberg said he understood the matter will be heard by Justice Hugo Black. Rader will also go to Washington for the hearing.

Alaska indians
Win Land Suit

Seven thousand Alaskan In
dams, many Of them destitute,
may become collective Million
aires under a decision handed
down today by the United
States Court of Claims.
The court ruled that the
Government must compensate
the Tlingit and Haida Indians
for more than 10 million acres
OF land taken from them for
the Tongass National Forest
and the Glacier Bay National
Monument. The Indians, scat
tered in small communities
through a large area of south
eastern Alaska, must also be
paid for the loss of other lands
and fishing rights.
Today'S court decision marks
the first time the Government
has ever been ordered to COM
pensate any Alaskan Indians
for loss of their land. Several
other claims are pending be-
fore the Indian Claims Com
mission.
The rights of the Tlingits
and Haidas go back to the 1867
treaty through which the
United States purchased Alaska
from Russia. The Court Of
Claims found that the two In
dian grnups-they are not or
ganized into tribes-own the
land taken over by the Gov
eminent and also had fishing
and mineral rights which have
been taken away from them.
The amount the Government
will have to pay will be based
on the value of the land and
rights at the time they were
taken away from the Indians.
Deciding just how much this
will be is an extremely CON-
plicated task and no estimate
of the value can be made until
the matter is explored by the
Court Of Claims.

Currency Long Lost
Costs $4,000 a Day

withdrawn from circulation in
1894.
It's q rare day, indeed, when
anyone gets handed one Of
these bills. However, the fact
they're still carried in the
Treasury's currency accounts
means they tie UP $103 million
in gold, silver and other re-
serves.
The Westland and Spence
bills would free these reserves
for other use. This would mean
the Treasury could cut its bor-
rowings by a like amount. Al
current rates, the savings on
interest charges would amount
to more than $4,000 a day.
Wouldn't Affect Value
The old money, under the
pending bills, would be shifted
from currency accounts to the
noninterest bearing public debt
This technical change wouldn't
affect the value of the cur
rency. It would still be re-
deemed by the Treasury al
face value. Payment would be
made out of general funds
with each redemption reducing
the national debt.
In addition, the legislation
would authorize the Treasury
to write of whatever amount
Of old currency it believes has
been destroyed or lost forever
During the entire history Of
the country, billions Of dollar:
worth of paper money has beer
issued. However, only So mil
lion--a minute fraction-evel
has been written of in this
fashion. None has been writ
ten of since 1920.
Whenever an old bill shows
up in a banks till, the law re-
quires that it be turned over
to the Treasury for redemption,
However, with many issues
there is a mere trickle Of re-
demptions.
For example, Treasury rec
ords show $1,142.000 worth Of
Treasury notes of 1890 in cir
culation. Still, only $4,000
worth have been turned in
during the past 10 years, Most
of the rest presumably has
been destroyed.

BY the Associated Press

For the third straight year,
Congress has gone home with
out acting on q bill that would
save the Government $4,000
a day simply by recognizing
the fact that great stacks Of
antique paper money have
vanished from circulation.
More than $3.50 million in
old currency has. for all prac-
teal purposes. disappeared
from peoples wallets. Much Of
this money has been lost or
destroyed through fire, flood
or human carelessness. Some
is in the hands Of collectors.
The important fact is that
only a small fraction ever APP
pears in general circulation. BY
law, however. the Treasury
must pretend that all Of 1t is
circulating freely.
This legal fiction is carried to
great lengths. For instance, the
Treasury must make believe
that people are still using about
50 million worth Of Civil War
"shin plasters." These were
pieces Of paper printed as re-
placements for coins in de-
nominations ranging from 3
cents to SO cents. Obviously
they vanished from circulation
many years ago.
