Congress Told Plenty in Navajo
About Indian ChiIdren's Needs
More Money Vital
For Schools, Chief
Explains FIuentIy
By the Assocjoted Press

About the liveliest person In
Washington today is a sturdy, &c.
year-old Navajo Indian chief, Chez
Dodge
He's in town with a delegation of
Navajo braves, trying to convince
Congress it should ante more cash
for the education of his tribe.
Chief Dodge has been to the
Interior Department and to the
House and Senate to explain that
there are 10000 Navajo children,
but only schoolrooms enough for
5000.
He went before the House Indian
Affairs Committee yesterday to
speak his piece. in Navajo. The
translation was supplied by his son,
Tom, who wore a tan sports coat,
a neatly matching tie and pocket
handkerchief, and looks like the
successful lawyer he is.
When he felt a point needed
amplification, the aged chief would
leap to his feet, shake his mag
niflcent head of white hair, wiggle
a dramatic finger. then turn loose
a torrent of Navajo.
And a torrent of Navajo can
leave the most verbose member of
Congress at loss for words.
1t turned out the old boy had a
sense of humor, too.

Girl Who Lay in Road Half Hour
Awaiting Ambulance Dies
Gen. Young Orders Investigation of Mixup
Over Jurisdiction in Pentogon Area

Miss Genelle Huston, %, War
Shipping Administration clerk, died
last night in Emergency Hospital
of injuries received in a traffic ac-
cident Sunday when civilian and
military red tape prevented her
being taken Immediately to a hos
pital.
She was one of approximately
5000 women residents of Arlington
Farms who have no ambulance
service.
For about a half hour Sunday
night she lay unconscious in the
roadway during a heavy rain-the
victim OF a controversy as to which
authorities had jurisdiction to take
her to hospital
Brig. Gen. Robert N. Young, COM
manding general of the Military
District of Washington, conceded
that soldier at the telephone of the
Fort Myer Hospital was in error in
not dispatching an ambulance to the
scene, and has issued orders that all
such emergency calls within the
area are to be answered Immediately
regardless Of whether military per-
sonnel is involved. He also has
ordered an investigation of the
affair.
Four Hospitals Called.
Police listed the driver of the car
that struck Miss Huston as Thomas
Di Reno, 40, of 816 South Oak street,
Arlington. Miss Huston was said to
have alighted from one bus and was
running to catch another when
struck. The accident occurred on
Arlington Ridge road within the
Pentagon network.
Other bus patrons called Fort
Myer and Arlington police and then
called four hospitals without receiv-
ing assistance. Miss Huston finally
was removed to Emergency Hospi-
tai in station wagon.
Arlington Police Chief Harry
woodward said cruiser was sent to
the scene, but no official report was
made because 1t was out of the

That Nunivuk, Eskimo Utopio

"The kidding brother, DR.. Lantis?"
the reporter asked.
Every man." she said, "nas q
serious brother and a kidding
brother. They are usually not blood
brothers, but the roles are inherited.
The kidding brother will laugh at
the man, play jokes on him and
SANDER him right to his face. And
the man has to take it. He can not
reply. But his serious brother will
defend him."
DR.. Lantis paused. "You can see,"
she said, 1T has psychological and
social value"
Money worries? These Eskimos
have no money, no sense of property
every one has enough to eat-they
get along fine without it.
Housing worries? They do as they
do here. The young couple moves in
with the in-laws. But when sum-
mer comes everybody gets busy and
digs a home for them.
Are you going back to Nunivak
DR.. Lantis?" the reporter asked.
Il am going out now to see If I
can arrange transportation" was
her reply.

By GEORGE Kennedy

On, for the life on Nunivak Is
land!
No worries! This Utopia actually
exists in the world today. It's a
nice place to think about.
The A-bomb worry? The Eski-
mos on Nunivak, off Alaska, haven t
heard abouts atomic fission. They
haven't heard of World War H.
Some one tried to tell them about
the first World War but they weren't
interested.
Nunivak is self sufficient and has
no trade with the mainland.
On Nunivak they have never
heard of vitamins but they eat
plenty Of them. Their diet of rein
deer meat Is one of the best In the
world and they are extremely heal
thy.
Grant Makes News.
Nunivak Island entered the news
this week when the grant of 81 500
by the Arctic Institute of North
America to DR.. Margaret Lantis,
1924 Morrison street NV, to COM
plete her book on the Eskimos of
Nunivak was reported by the As
sociated Press from Montreal where
the institute is located.
Yesterday DR.. Lantis. who is 80
and looks like a schoolteacher but,
instead, is an anthropologist, told
about life on Nunivak. She spent
q year there in 1939-1940.
The worry about one man think
ing he can force his will on this
country? Nunivak knows none Of
that, she said. There are only $50
Eskimos on the island and they
live an organized existence with no
apparent government, no leader,
chief or king. There are no boss
worries about employees letting them
down and no worker worries about
what the boss will do next.
Cure for Stuffiness.
Career worries? No one on NUM-
yak tries to show off, she said. The
Nunivak Eskimos have an hereditary
institution that clips any ones tend
ency to get stuffy. That's the "kid-
ding brother"

Bonus for Veterans,
Higher 1axExemption,
By the Asxociuted prsss

CUMBERLAND, Md, May 16.--
The Maryland and District of Co.
lumbia Federation of Labor yester-
day recommended bonus for vet
Grams, higher inCome-tax exemp-
tions and a shorter working day for
women at the final session of its
40th annual convention.
BY acclamation the organization
reelected Robert j. Buxbaum of
Baltimore president.
AS an aid to veterans in the pur-
chase OF clothing. household effects
and other needs the federation pro-
posed bonuses equal in amounts to
mastering cat pay.
Ask Exemption Increase.
The organization urged that In
come tax exemptions be raised from
$500 to $1,500 for both single and
married persons on grounds that
removal of the excess profits levy
and the reduction of income taxes
on percentage basis benefited only
those in the higher income brackets
In urging the shorter working day
for women, the federation asserted
Maryland Jagged behind the Fed
eral Government and many States
with respect to limiting the number
of working hours to eight day and
48 week.
Although some carpenter dele
gates opposed it, the federation in
dorsed the Wagner -Ellender-Ta
bill. Opponents said pro-
visions for the use of prefabricated
construction might put many car
penters out of work.
Convention Cut Short.
The convention was shortened by
a day, Mr.. Buxbaum said, because
Of the small attendance and lack
of adequate housing in the imme-
date area.
In addition to Mr.. Buxbaum, the
following officers were elected:
Vice presidents, Charles McClos-
key, Washington; Glenn Snyder,
Baltimore; Carl Schultz, Baltimore;
c. E. Stutzman, Cumberland, D. w.
Butler, Hagerstown, and Clem F..

The area is patrolled by the 703d

patrolmen to investigate the acci-
dent. Military authorities said the
hearing will be held before United
States Commissioner Stanley King
in Alexandria.
Death Certificate Held Up.
Meanwhile. District Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald is withhold
ing the issuance Of a death certif1-
cate pending completion of the
investigation by military authorities.
Army authorities said the soldier
who declined to send an ambulance
was following the letter Of an or
der" which prohibits civilians from
being carried in the Fort Myer am
bulance, but conceded that in an
emergency case of this nature it had
been bad judgment.
Recent ratification by the Virginia
General Assembly of a congressional
act to establish a definite District
OF Columbia-Virginia boundary line
was thought to have settled the con-
troversial jurisdictional questions
that have arisen from time to time.
Concurrent Jurisdiction.
BY terms of the law the Federal
Government has exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the Washington National
Airport land and the Federal and
State Governments have concurrent
jurisdiction over all other formerly
disputed areas except those lands
which have been decided to the
United States with exclusive jur-
isdiction.
State Senator William D. Medley
OF Arlington, patron of the Virginia
act, said he could not say whether
the accident scene was within one
OF the decided areas but in case the
Federal Government would have au-
thority by virtue of its concurrent
jurisdiction.
Miss Huston was from Cham
paign, Ill, and had lived in Georgia
Hall, Arlington Farms, since March,
