Senate Committee Says

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Indians
on score of reservations in five
Northwestern states were found in
pitiable condition by a sub
committee on Indian affairs, accord
ing to Senator Burton K. Wheeler
Of Montana, who has just returned
from the investigating trip.
tuberculosis and trachoma are
decimating them; their schools and
hospitals are hardly worthy of the
name; their funds have been
"squandered" without accounting,
and they have been compelled to pay
for irrigation improvements which
are failures, Wheeler said.
He blamed the Indian bureau
under it's past management, and
politicians of both parties" for the
situation.
tuberculosis Spreading
"I should estimate 25 per cent of
he Indians on reservations we Wis
tied have tuberculosis, Wheeler said.
ut runs as high as so per cent on
at least one. Trachoma and vere-
real diseases also are increasing. In
dians are not isolated for treatment,
and with an average of one tuber-
culosis patient to family, in the
one-room huts in which they live, the
disease is spreading.
"We found the schools on most
reservations, as well as their few
hospitals, generally unsanitary

are receiving about a fourth-grade
education; then are turned out, I'M

admission that federal officers and

illegal tactics today was read into
the action of the national crime

1t is understood that the plan to
obtain information on prohibition
killings, abuse of injunctionS in la
Dor strikes, tapping of telephone
and telegraph wires use of stool
pigeons, unwarranted invasion OF
person and property and other
illegalities has the complete ap.
proval of President Hoover. He has
frequently stated in his papers and
addresses that lawlesSness on the
part of officials tends to breed crime
and civilian resistance.
1t is expected, however, that the
subcommittee will go into the en-
forcement records of state and local
as we'll as federal officials.
1t may, for instance, investigate
many incidents in which such Of
flcers as the Pennsylvania coal and
iron police have figured. The readi-
ness of marshals to deputize cor
porations employees in labor
troubles is another problem that
may be studied.
The tendency of local authorities
