INDIANS STILL NEED PROTECTION Senator King Pictures Them as
 UnCiViliZed

Washington, Feb. 1 (UP)-Lo is TO longer the poor Indian, but he is still uncivilized. The squandering of those very riches that have made some Indians in oil territory capital ists for today-only to be poverty stricken tomorrow-is one evidence that they are far from civilization as it is in America, according to Senator King, democrat, of Utah. who has introduced a resolution for an investigation of the state of the 225, 900 red men in this country
 That condition is none too good, King believes.
 The Indians in my state. for in stance, are no further advanced to- ward civilization than they were 25 years ago" he said.
 The progress toward civilization shown by Indians generally is very unsatisfactory. There is something fundamentally wrong in the way we are handling the Indian problem. Somehow, we haven't got to their hearts, haven't learned their psy- chology.
 Hundreds of Indian children are taken away from their homes and sent to schools where they get a smattering of education which is no good to them. Many go to colleges and return home to their blan'-ets
 Many of those that get huge royalties from oil lands spend all their money. One Indian will buy several automobiles. When their money gives out they come back for more and squander that in the same way. They are not accommo- dating themseves to the conditions and requirements of modern life.
 Further, the Utah senator said they are restrained in their liber- ties, being merely wards of the government. His resolution provides for an investigation also of the bu- reau of Indian affairs in the inter for department and its manage ment of the Indians.
 But I'm not blaming the Indian bureau or anyone else,' he said. We are not going at the problem in the right way. but I don't know what is the right way. l want to find out through an investigation. Perhaps our educational methods are wrong. Perhaps it would be better to teach them trades so they could be seif-relant. I don't think higher education is useful to them. :"
 King was asked if he thought the Indians ever could be "civi- lized" according to American standards.
 That's a hard question: he re- piled, but I'd rather think they can. if it is done in the right way
