Government Gave Indians
‘Bottled Suicide,’ Says
Head Of WCTU
EVANSTON, 111., MB—The head
of the National Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union said Thursday
that Congress “handed the Indians
bottled suicide” when it legalized
sale of liquor to them.
Mrs. Gleen G. Hays, WCTU
president, said “the alcoholic
plight” of Ira Hayes, hero' of Iwo
Jima,” is symbolic of what is
happening to American Indians”
under the recently enacted federal
i law.
Hayes is a Pima Indian and one
of the six Marines who raised the
American flag on Iwo Jima’s Mt.
Suribachi in World War II. Re
cently he was arrested in Chicago
and Los Angeles on charges of
intoxication.
“Congress is going to discover,”
Mrs. Hays said in a statement,
“that it has handed the Indians as
bottled suicide, since Indinas as
a race become alcoholics very
quickly when they start drinking.”
Canadian Fighter Pilots
Trained To Recognize
Disguised Russian Planes
TORONTO, (#)— Fighter pilots
of Canada’s northern air defenses
are being trained to deal with pos
sible attacks by Russian aircraft
disguised with United States or
Canadian markings, Air Marshal
C. R. Slemon said at Toronto
yesterday.
Canada’s chief of air staff told
the Electric Club of Toronto that
an air defense command will be in
full operation in Canada’s nQrth
land in a few months. It will in
volve a chain of radar stations
and ground control centers.
Slemon said strategic areas have
been set aside for noting all air
craft movement by radio and
radar.
BartlettSays Origin
Of N. Pacific Fish
Must Be Found
WASHINGTON, UP) — Delegate
Bartlett said Thursday it is “im
perative” that the United States
begin investigations to' determine
the origin of fish in North Pacific
waters.
Bartlett told Secretary of Inter
ior McKay in a letter that he was
gratified to learn the department
is requesting funds to finance such
a Fish & Wildlife Service study.
Under the North Pacific Fishery
Agreement reached by this coun
try, Canada and Japan, fishermen
of the latter nation agreed not to
fish' for salmon in North Ameri
can waters. Japanese fishermen,
under the convention, must fish
for salmon west of a line running
through the Aleutian Islands.
The Japanese also agreed to
move further west if* biological
investigations proved that some of
the fish found within their fishing
area originated in North Ameri
can waters.
Bartlett told McKay that many
American fishermen believe Jap
anese fishing expeditions took
salmon this year which had their
origin in Alaska streams.
“Under existing circumstances,”
he wrote the secretary, “there is
no way to prove or disprove this.
The treaty is clear in respect to
an intention on the part of all
three nations to protect fishing
stocks of national origin.
“Since the United States has
most at stake and since it is the
Japanese fishermen who approach
our home waters instead of vice
versa, it is beyond all doubt of ut
most importance that we gather
essential data.”
