By WALTER E. TAYLOR

In 1929 Carl Melchers, the noted
American painter, presented to the
Museum Of the American Indian
one Of the finest collections of In
dian-made articles that great New
York institution had received in
decades. In the collection were
many pieces representative Of Pie
gan and Crow Indian art, for the
collection had been made by John
Mix Stanley, who knew Montana
well in the 1850s. Carl Melchers
father had purchased the collec-
ton from Stanley's widow many
years before. Stanley was one of
the few men Of his day who really
appreciated the art of the Indians
and his collection was well chosen.
1t Is Of special value to students
because of its age and because 1t
represents primitive art unspoiled
by contact with white mems ideas
Of what Is beautiful.
The Stanley collection or chronological
specimens was interesting to students
Of the Indian, but Of even more inter-
est to those curious about Stanleys
career were a number of proof sheets
telling portions Of Stanley's story In
his own words. Stanley had told con-
temporaries that he intended writing
a book on the Indians and these proof
sheets we're evidence that he actually
started the task, but as far as is known
the volume was never published. If 1t
had reached publication it would have
been a valuable piece Of Americana,
for Stanley knew more than most
about the Indians Of America. His
actual contacts with the redmen were
Of a much greater scope than were
CatlinS.
For those interested in the earlier
history OF Montana the proof sheets
found with the Stanley collection of
specimens was Of special interest. for
the information given cleared up a
disputed point. Few of Stanley's pic
lures are still In existence. but about
one Of the most famous there has been
much disagreement, for residents Of
the southwest claimed that 1t was
painted in that region, while others
thought 1t a representation Of Indian
life In the northwest. The proof sheets
cleared this up and ended the argyll
ment. for it Is stated definitely that the
picture, a buffalo hunt scene. was
painted near Fort Benton, Mont.
Near Three Buttes
A paragraph from the proof sheets
runs as follows: 1.-THE locality por-
trayed In this spirited sketch of a buff
falo hunt Is taken from nature. It
represents grassy plain In the neigh
borhood Of the Three Butes,-land-
MARKS well known to all who have
visited Fort Benton, Montana territory.

 Home owners who recently com- pleted shoveling of walks and drive ways had to do the work all over again today, following the snowfall last night and today.

 M. l. I. PRESIDENT
He Claims Roosevelt Has Shown 'Lack of Under-
 standing"

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 20 - GU. p - Dr. Karl T. Compton, Massa- chusets Institute of Technology president, said last night that President Roosevelt has demon- strated Q profound lack of under standing" of technological progress in its relation to unemployment.
 Dr. Compton addressed a gather ing of 1000 upstate scientists and industrialists at which 37 inventors were honored as modern pioneers" It was one of IS dinners held throughout the country in celebra- ton of the 150th anniversary of the American patent system.
 Dr. Compton admitted that scien- tific progress sometimes results in unemployment but added:
 "The record clearly shows that efficiency of our industrial processes has not created a surplus of labor, but on the contrary, has over long period of time created new employ ment while making available to the general public materials and serv- ices which would otherwise have been completely inaccessible to any except a favored few"
 Dr. Compton deplored what he termed lack of appreciation by poli- tical leaders of the possibilities of science and invention in relieving unemployment.
 Even in the message of the pres- ident to congress 8 little over month ago." he said, profound lack of understanding and appreciation of the role of technological progress was disclosed in such phrases as we have not yet found a way to employ the surplus of our labor which the efficiency of our indus trial processes has created or to face the task of finding jobs faster than invention can take them away is not defeatsm'."

 Claims C. of C. Head

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 20-(Up) -U. s. Chamber of Commerce Pres ident w. Gibson Carey charged last night that unemployment conditions throughout the country were the result of handling "our government business relationship so stupidly."
 Declaring that T charge no one with doing this purposely." he told Chamber of Commerce gathering we have talked humanitarian. what we have actually done can be called crucifixion."
 The government, he said, should cut expenditures so as to produce 8 balanced budget and revise its agencies which harass and dis courage business"
 T have no hesitency in saying that the most damaging is the Na- tional Labor Relations Board" he declared. "The Wagner Act in its present form is thorn to employ ment, menace to employees, and Q cruel instrument of torture to those seeking johs."
 He propoed modification of the wages and hours ac, especially as 1t relates to hours" and less stren- uous restrictions by the securities and exchange commission. A major requirement. of better times, he said, was understanding and cooperation between business and government"
 Lack of this, he said, brought de- struction to almost the entire government utility program"
 Gov. Baldwin's program to create more jobs in private industry, re- ceived praise.
