- HEARINGS TO
BE HELD IN
NOVEMBER
—
(Ketchikan Chronicle)
Hearing on the claims of Indi
f i?n tribal groups to all of the area
of Prince of Wales Island and
some adjoining areas of South
eastern Alaska, the forerunner of
department of interior proceed
ings expected to embrace a large
proportion of the Southeastern
Alaska district, will be resumed
in Seattle on November 15, it
was learned here recently.
Judge Richard H. Hanna, the
department of interior examiner
who conducted the first hearing
in Hydaburg, Klawock Kake and
Ketchikan, has directed that pro
tests or endorsements of the In
dian claims, by telegram, letter
or resolution, be forwarded to him
in care of E. E. Lescher, 717 Arc
tic building, Seattle.
These protests and endorsements
will be held until Novmber 15
when they will be incorporated
into the record, subject to exam
ination then by counsel.
Letters and telegrams should
be addressed to Judge Richard
H. Hanna, care of E. E. Lescher,
717 Arctic building, Seattle.
Because the salmon industry
did not have time to prepare its
case for the earlier sessions, the
Seattle hearing rae expected to
be the most important of the five.
The metropolitan papers in Seattle
and the news services are expect
d to have staff news men and
photographers on the scene, so
that anything developing either
for or against the proposed In
dian reserves or reservations will
be more fully described to the
American public than in the case
of earlier hearings.
The Seattle sessions will be
held at the U. S. Customs court
room, 117 Federal office build
ing, 909 First Avenue Seattle.
FILING SCHEDULE GIVEN
Judge Hanna announced new
filing schedules, subject to later
revision, as follows:
Affidavits, not later than No
vember 25; protests, not later
than November 25; filing tran
script, not later than November
25; Briefs, not later than Decem
ber 5; Proposed findings and
conclusions, riot later than De
cember 15; examiner’s final re
port not later than December 24;
excepts and briefs on exceptions,
not later than January 8, 1945.
Several organizaions, both of
ficial and unofficial, plan to be
represented for the Seattle ses
sions. Commercial, fishing, mining
and labor organizations all over
the Territory are sending protests
to the examiner or asking con
gressional intervention. Congress
last May received a favorable
committee report on repeal of
the Wheeler-Howard act which
authorizes the secretary of the
interior to set up reservations in
Alaska. No action yet has been
taken on the bill but opponents
of the Indian turnover in Alaska
point out that congress will be
back in session when the Seattle
hearings open and that speedy
congressional action might head
off the setting up of the first
reserves or reservations in the
Territory Petitions have been
filed, prepared or are being pre
pared fo areas covering much of
the district around Juneau, Ket
chikan Sitka, Wrangell and
Douglas, according to testimony

Pyramid originally was 482 feet
high—more than 50 feet higher
than St. Peter’s cathedral at
Rome.
OPA ISSUES
CAUTION
The Nome Consumer-Trade
Committee cautions the public
against over-optimism at the
WPB announcement that limited
manufacture of a varied lis of
scarce consumer goods will soon
be resumed.
j* Conspicuous for their absence
| from the list are many such bad
ly needed item s as mechanical
refrigerators, washing machines
and oil burners. This means that
; the scarcity' of many essential
items of household equipment
and furnishings will be increas
ingly acute in the months ahead,”
stated Mrs. M. J. Walsh, chairman
of the committee.
OPA has further tightened the
control over sales of used durable
goods to prevent excessive profits
or consumers bidding against
each other for the limited supply
available. This was done by an
amendment to the regulation al
ready in effect in Alaska that
I adds eight new classifications of
such goods to the long list of
those already under ceiling
prices. This new amendment
adds among other classification:
certain house wares, hardware
