Indian Affairs Assn. Says
Alaska Bill Would Deprive
Eskimos of Land Rights
WASHINGTON, Wl—'The Asso
ciation of American Indian Af
fairs said Friday the Alaska state
hood bill would deprive Alaska’s
Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts of
basic land rights.
Oliver La Farge, president of
the privately-supported associa
tion, said in a statement that the
bill violates a federal commitment
of 1884.
He said that commitment guar
1 anteed to Alaska natives full pro
tec.ion of their traditional land
holdings.
"A key provision of the Alaska
statehood bill cancels this pro
tc t.on and opens the way to large
sc be seizure by the new state of
If ;ds which have been held in
Ir.bim possession since time im
memorial, La Farge said.
Toothpaste Not Found To
To Prevent Tooth Decay
WASHINGTON, UP—1The presi
dent of the American Dental
Assn, said Monday an ADA study
group has found no acceptable
evidence that any toothpaste now
on the market has any special
value in preventing tooth decay.
Dr. Leslie M. Fitzgerald, of Du
buque, Iowa, the president, also
v - declared the dental profession is
increasingly concerned about pos
sible danger to dental health aris
ing out of certain claims he said
were made for toothpastes.
“Many of the claims for these
products,” he said in a talk pre
pared for the District of Columbia
Dental Society tend to discourage
such proven dental health pro
y cedures as proper toothbrushing
immediately after eating and the
avoidance of excessive consump
tion of sugar - containing sub
stances.”

McCarthy Charges
Army Officials
Tried ‘Blackmail’
WASHINGTON, UP^-Sen. Mc
Carthy Friday bitterly protested
Army Department officials had
attempted to “blackmail” his in
vestigations subcommittee into
1 dropping a probe of the Army. He
made public a document that rep
resented Secretary of the Army
Robert T. Stevens as trying to di
vert the group’s attention to a
search for wrongdoing in the
Navy, Air Force and Defense De
partment.
Stevens and John G. Adams, the
Army’s general counsel, retorted
that such accusations were untrue.
McCarthy had said Adams told
him several months ago a report
embarrassing to the subcommittee
would be made public unless an
investigation of the Army were
called off.
Before the day was over some
Republicans as well as Democrats
in the Senate were demanding in
vestigations to determine who is
telling the truth in the crossfire
of accusations.
' The explosion that again shat
tered the peace between Stevens
and McCarthy came when Senate
sources Friday made public an
Army report saying efforts were I
made to get special treatment for
G. David Schine, an unpaid con
I sultant to McCarthy’s subcommit
j tee, after Schine'was inducted last
j November as a private,
j The report cited instances when
McCarthy had allegedly exerted
, pressure on Army Department of
! ficials and his subcommittee’s
| chief counsel, Roy Cohn, allegedly
had used threats.
McCarthy’s retort of “black
mail” was accompanied by mem
oranda he said came from the
' subcommittee files and depicted
officials trying to sidetrack probes
of Army matters.
Beta Sigma Phi Meeting
By Caroline Reader
Beta Sigma Phi met last Thurs
day evening at the home of Betty
Alexander. Betty’s front room re
sembled an art gallery more than
a livingroom, with pictures of art
about the walls and books of
famous paintings on the table.
The program lesson for the eve

Wider Interests and the 50 art
questions provided for discussion
gave us a pleasant hour or so
of conversation on artists, sculp
tors, architects and definitions.
Two talks were given on artists
Monet and Toulouse-Lautrec by
Maybelle Lenert and Caroline
Reader and personal experiences
in the field of art were presented.
Hostess Betty Alexander served
refreshments at the conclusion of
a most inspiring evening.
Sunday afternoon the mem
bers of Beta Sigma Phi sorority

Lenert sang a sorority song, “A
Closer Tie” to the delight of all.
Omie served tempting little frost
ed cakes and candy along with
tea and coffee. On Thursday eve
ning, March 25, the new pledges
will be initiated into the sorority
at a formal pledge ceremony.
