Nationalist Seat to Be Discussed At Allied Council
Tokyo—(U.P.)—Another East-West conflict may take place at the meeting of the Allied Council for Japan Wednesday over an expected Soviet move to oust Nationalist China from its council seat.
An aide to the Soviet member, St. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko, said he did not know whether the Russian delegation would return from its Jan. 4, walkout, or whether Derevyanko would challenge the right of the Nationalist Chinese delegation to be seated.
However, responsible Western soldiers predicted the Soviet member would resume his place at the council table, and file a "procedural" motion to replace Nationalist Gen. Chu Shih-Ming with a communist Chinese member. Then Mr. Derevyanko was expected to walk out for the third straight time as American and British delegates resumed their discussion of repatriating Japanese prisoners of war from Russia.
W. R. Hodgson, British Commonwealth member, said he would report to the council on the action the Australian government has taken to investigate American charges that Russia still holds 376,000 Japanese.
Mr. Hodgson said he would not raise the question of the Nationalists' right to a council seat, even though Britain and China now recognize the council. He said he had received instructions on the matter.
Indian Descendants To Share Jackpot
Portland, Ore.,—(U.R.)—Many "vanshing" Americans will reappear to claim a share in a $16,515,603 jack-awarded descendants of four Oregon Indian tribes; it was indicated today.
The U. S. court of claims awarded the money to descendants of the Tillamook, Coquille, Chetco, and Too-Too-To-Ney tribes for ancestral lands they abandoned 100 years ago under a treaty negotiated by Indian Agent Gen. Joel Palmer.
The giveway was a belated payment by the U. S. government to the heirs of warriors who were transferred from their traditional hunting home along the southwestern coast of Oregon to northern Oregon.
The payment will be pro-rated among the rightful descendants of the dispossessed tribes. The rub, however, is in finding the true descendants. "We had one man come here this week who was fair-skinned, red-haired and blue-eyed," said Dr. Henry Roe Cloud, regional representative for the Grand Ronde and Siletz reservations. "I would never have known* this man was part Indian."
During lengthy litigation over the Indian claims, it was established that "occupation and use of the land constituted ownership"
the four tribes, despite the fall
of Rome, never ratified Palmer's treaty.
Every man, woman, and child who can prove blood lineage to the original "owner's" in the Port Oxford-coos Bay area will receive an equal share.

Intrepid Dog-Sledder Plays Midwife With Temperature 47 Degrees Below
Morely River, Yukon Territory Jan. 17—(U.P) (Delayed)—The following dispatch, delayed several days, was sent by Cecil A. Moore, who is dog-sledding from Fairbanks, Alaska, to his home in Lewiston, Maine.
This is the last place on earth I ever expected to find myself in the role of midwife. The blessed event occurred several days ago, I was halfway down Lake Teslin just north of the British Columbia border when, in a matter of a few hours, the temperature dropped from 25 degrees below zero to 47 degrees below zero.
I noticed one of the dogs was acting strangely, so I made camp. I crawled into my Eider down sleeping bag but slept fitfully because of the cold. A dog's whining finally got me out of my sack.
There by the dog that had acted oddly and refused to eat were two Husky pups. They were frozen stiff.
1ne thermometer registered 63 degrees below zero. It was deathly still and the Northern lights were
coldly beautiful.
I felt kind of scared when I began thinking how far I was from civilization, but I snapped out of it when I looked down at the frozen, new-born puppies and their sad-eyed mother.
I took a blanket and moved the dog nearer the fire. With sticks and another blanket, I made a shelter. The dog stopped shivering after a while and I realized she was going to have some more puppies.
Playing midwife, I delivered three more pups, bundled them up in the only spare woolen underwear I had and placed them near their mother. Then I cooked a big stew from the two frozen rabbits and a Spruce hen I had on the sled. While waiting for it to cool enough to feed the mother, I ate a lot of it and drank a pot of tea.
After feeding the dog I put her pups up to nurse and covered them all with some blankets. Later, at Nisutlin bay, a trading post on Lake Teslin, I got a wool-lined box. Mother and pups are doing fine.
Providence, R. L., (U.P.)—Frightened burglars left $1,000 untouched and fled in panic when their explosive charge blew the door of a food market safe through a 10-foot plate glass window.
