BLM Attempting
To Find Holders
OF Mining Claims

Richard L. Quintus, District Man.
ager, Bureau of Land Management,
has announced that the Bureau is
eager to locate holders of mining
claims in the Moose Creek drainage,
a tributary of Goldstream Creek
about nine miles northwest of Fair
banks.
This search is part of the process
of defining the lands which may be
transferred to the State of Alaska
under the provisions of the State
hood Act.
Only vacant public domain may
be selected by the State. Lands oc-
cupied under the mining laws must
be deleted from selections.
Quintus stated that the records
in the District Magistrates office
show that over ninety placer min
ing claims were recorded for the
Moose Creek drainage between 1902
and 1888. There are no recent re-
cordings of annual proofs of labor
for any claims, and examination
indicates that mining interest in the
area has been abandoned.
However, Quintus has asked that
anyone having an interest in any
mining claims in the Moose Greek
drainage contact the Bureau OF
! Land Management, SIG Second

Registering the Reds

II past defiance of party-registra-
ton orders is criterion, the Commu-
niStS cited by Attorney General Kennedy
as persons who should register individu-
ally under the Internal Security Act Of
1850 will continue to resist that law.
This presageS, therefore, long series of
court battles which may last for years.
Bolstering the Governments case, how
ever, is the recent Supreme Court deci-
sion upholding decision by the Sub
versive Activities Control Broad that the
party must register, with disclosure of
its officers and members and of its fl
nancial affairs.
Following the Supreme Courts rul-
ing with respect to party registration,
Federal grand jury indicted two of the
Red leaders for failure to comply with

the act. They have said they would fight
the indictment through all the courts.
The 1850 law not only requires registra-
ton Of the party as an organization but
also Of its officers as individuals. It is
under this additional provision of the
statute that the new action has been
taken. The Attorney General sent to the
SubverSive Activities Control Board the
names Of ten Reds who, he said, had
been elected to the National Committee
of the Communist Party of the United
States in December, 1859. If, as is ex-
pected, the board orders the ten to reg
lister, the stage will be set for what may
be another long-dravn-out series Of
court actions.
In the end, should the Government
win its case, criminal penalties could be
assessed against those found guilty of
violating the act, with imprisonment for
up to five years possible. Meanwhile,
the party and its officers will be kept
busy trying to find a way out of a re-
quirement which would strip away the
secrecy which the Communists have en-
joyed in the past.

Leadership at the Top

The new policies proposed by Cab
tnet-level committee and announced by
the White House to serve as a guide for
future Federal construction in Washing
ton constitute the most significant plan
OF development for the Nations Capital
since Herbert Hoover initiated the con-
cept Of the Federal Triangle more than
80 years ago.
This Is partly so because of the care
full planning which preceded the draft
ing OF the report, and the broad range
OF It's coverage. But more important,
and more gratifying, is the direct per-
sonal interest expressed in its contents
by President Kennedy. For the past has
demonstrated all too clearly that If such
plans as these are to materialize fully,
active leadership by the Chief Executive
In carrying them out is essential.
As the new report points out, a
Clearly defined and determined pro-
gram" OF Government construction is a
necessary first step. But the fact of the
matter is that the General Services Ad-
miniStration has had whole series of
specific long-range programs, which
have succeeded one another like leaves
falling from tree during the last dec
ade or so. And while certainly there has
been a substantial volume of Federal
construction in Washington during the
last few years, few of the goals of any
Of these programs have yet been reached.
The massive Federal Triangle prof.
ect has progressed to its present state
OF completion largely because Mr. Hoover
was determined that during his term of
office it should not lag. In much the
same manner, we hope that President
Kennedy will ride herd personally on
his own program, which, in its way,
could have an even greater impact on
the beauty and the utility of the Cap
ital City.

Captain Joseph K TauSSig, jr., USN.,
retired, member of a Washington family
Of renown in naval annals and himself
a disabled hero of World War II, does
not believe that retired officers of the
regular" Navy are any less trustworthy
than retired reServists. He therefore
quite properly we think-has moved,
not only in his own behalf but that of
all retired regulars" to remove the
stigma implicit In a law which dis
eliminates against regular Navy men in
regard to post-retirement employment.
Captain Taussig, who won the Navy
Cross for continuing to direct anti-air-
craft fire against Japanese bombers at
Pearl Harbor despite shattered leg
that later had to be amputated, was
notified by the Navy Department that
his disability pay had been suspended
as Of May last. Meanwhile the Navy
has asked the Controller General to pass
on the legality Of retirement pay for
Captain TauSSig while he maintains a
business connection with firm which
sells supplies to the Defense Depart
ment. Under previous rulings, such pay
is prohibited by Federal law concern
ing conflict of interests.
AS Captain Taussig has stressed, the
law Is unfair in that it applies only to
retirees Of the regular service. Reserve
officers who retire are not under SINH
lar restrictions on doing business with
the armed services. While the purpose of
the law was to prevent retired officers
from exerting improper influence on
Federal officials, there are other laws
on the books that are designed to pro-
tect the Government from unethical
practices without the stigmatizing, dis
criminatory effect of the law which

tests. A bill to remove the special re-
Strictions on regulars" is pending in
