D'Ewarf Bill Would
Let Indians
Handle Own Affairs

Congressman Wesley A. D.
Ewart has received committee
approval for his bill to eman-
cipate individual Indians VINO
are capable of managing their
own affairs, according to a re-
lease received from Washing
ton this week.
The House Public Lands
committee reported the bill to
the house and recommended
its passage. 1t had already been
approved unanimously by the
Indian Affairs subcommittee, of
which D'Ewart is chairman.
D'Ewart described the legis-
lation as "a first step in the
freeing of individual Indians
from federal supervision, so
that they can assume their
rightful positions as free and
equal American citizens"
1.-The Indian bureau has been
working more than a half CEN
fury to prepare Indians for as
similation into our society,""
D'Ewart said. 1.-THE results
have not been promising so far
as many Indians are concern
ed. Many fine citizens, college
graduates and successful bust
nessmen still are listed as Gin
competent Indians" by the Blu
reau.
1T is time that some provis-
sion is made to permit these
people to leave the reserva-
lions, to take over control and
management of their property,
and to establish themselves as
Independent citizens with all of
the rights and privileges, as
well as the duties and re-
sponsibilities, of Americans"
The bill, H. R. 1113, provides
that a district court may is
sue a "Writ of Competency
upon application of any indi-
vidual Indian, who in the
judgement of the court, is cap
able of managing his own af-
fairs. Provision is made for
hearings at which local gov
ernmental and tribal officials
would testify concerning the
competency of the applicant.
Issuance of the writ would
remove all disabilities and
limitations especially applicable
to Indians and entitle the In
dian TO full possession and
control of all property and
money previously held in trust
for him by the federal govern
ment.
Indians born after the date
of the act and children OF
parents who have been issued
"Writs of Competency" would
be declared competent upon
reaching the age of 81. unless
objections were filed by the
Indian bureau and sustained
by the court.

Expert Will Read
xRays Taken by
Mobile Unit Here

X-ray photographs taken
when the mobile X-ray unit is
in this county July Is through
July rs will be read by DR.. A.
E. Rickli, medical director, div
ision of tuberculosis control,
state board of health, accord
ing to R. J. Murray, chairman
of the committee in charge of
arrangements.
The unit is sponsored jointly
by the Montana tuberculosis
association and the state board
of health.
It is hoped, Murray said, to
arrange the schedule so that
only a few seconds of each
persons time will be needed.
The actual making of the pict-
ureS consumes almost no time
and no clothing needs to be
removed unless metal is used
on some article of clothing.
Murray urged everyone to
have a picture made. 1t was
pointed out that not only tu-
berculosis, but other chest con-
ditions, are revealed by the X
rays.
The visit of the unit here IS
made possible through the CO.
peration of the sponsoring or
carnations and the county
chapter of the Montana Tuber-
culosiS association. Funds from
the seal sale last year, of
which Mrs. Lura P. Strand
was chairman, will be used for
the incidental expenses of the
tour, such as advertising.
