DOR PUSHMATAHA! Me-
thinks I heard this brave
Indians name mentioned on

|
carried my mind back to an account
of this Indians visit to Washington
in 1924, during the second admin
istration OF President James Mon
roe.
This celebrated Choctaw Indian
chief died in Washington about
midnight December %, 1924. He
had come to this city with several
other chiefs to see the President
for the purpose of obtaining a set
tlement of the debt due from the
Government, originating in the
| treaty held at Doak's Stand In 1920,
and known as the met proceeds
claim"
Three Of the four chiefs who
came here-including Pushmataha
died waiting for settlement.
The fourth, seeking what might
await him II he stayed here. went
back to the tall timbers and at least
had the satisfaction Of passing away
among those who loved him more
and appreciated him better than
did the white man at Washington.
Debt Paid in 1883
OF course the Government paid
the debit always does pay its
just obligations-but not until 1888,
GA years after poor old Push" had
gone to the happy hunting ground
where even United States coins will
not pass as currency. However, the
unfortunate result was that more
than 81 ,000, 900 paid by the Govern
ment could then only be used by
the grandchildren and great-grand-
children Of Pushmataha.
While in Washington this great
Indian frequently was the guest OF
the President at the White House
and was often dined and wined by
other public officials, notably Gen.
Andrew jackson, who was then serv-
ing In the Senate and was always
glad to see him. It was Gen. jack
son whom Pashmataha had joined
with a large number of his warriors
in the Greek War in 1813-14, engag-
ing with distinction In all the bat
ties of that eventful period-Tal-
iadega, Holy Ground and Pensacola
and later accompanied the gen.
eral to New Orleans, where he wit
messed the battle of January 8,
1915, but not as a participant.
Meets Gen. Lafayette
While Pushmataha was in Wash
ington, Gen. Lafayette was a guest
of the Nation, and the Indian chief
had the pleasure Of meeting the
Marquis, to whom he is said to
have made brief but very eloquent
address, closing with the following
prophecy which was fulfilled before
the close of the year: 1--WE heard
your name in our distant wigwams.
longed to see one who had come
long way to assist our friends
of the white race when they were
small people. ]. have seen and
shaken your hand. This is our
last meeting on earth. Soon the
great ocean will divide us. We shall
see each other no more till we meet
in the happy hunting ground"
Pushmataha was born in what IS
now the State of Mississippi about
the year 1854 and before he had
reached his twentieth year he had
distinguished himself on the war
path. He early joined an expedi-
ton against the Osages on the west
ern side of the Mississippi and,

and propensity for talking, he was
good deal laughed at by the more
experienced men of the party"
The principal speech made by
Pushmataha upon his visit to Wash
ington was addressed to John C
Calhoun, then Secretary of War
AS recorded by McKenney and Hall
the following is what he said:
Father, I have been here some
time. I have not talked-have been
sick. You shall hear me talk to-
day. I belong to another district
You have no doubt heard Of me
I am Pushmataha.

father, hang in the bend of your
arm and look up in your face, and
now hear me speak.
Father, when I was in my own
country I heard there were men

and speak in this beloved house.
can boast and say and tell the truth
that none of my fathers or grand
fathers, nor any Choctaw, ever drew
bows against the United States
They have always been friendly. We
have held the hand of the United
States so long that our nails are
long like birds claws, and there Is
no danger of their slipping out.
Father, I have come to speak. MY
nation has always listened to the
applications of the white people
They have given to their country
till it is very small. ] repeat the
same about the land east Of the

Mentioned by Randolph
The celebrated John. Randolph Of
Virginia, who served in Congress, of
and on, from 1899 to 1927, upon one
occasion alluded to the Indian chief
in a speech upon the floor OF the
Senate, and to his grave in Con-
gressional Cemetery. He said:
Sir, in a late visit to the public
graveyard my attention was arrested
by the simple monument OF the
Choctaw chief, Pushmataha. He
was, I have been told by those who
knew him, one of natures nobility;
man who would have adorned any
society. He lies quietly by the side
Of our statesman and his magistrates
in the region-for there is one such
where the red man and the white
man are on a level. On the sides
of the plain shaft that marks his
place of burial 7 read these words:
'Pushmataha, a Choctaw chief, lies
here, this monument to his mem.
ory is erected by his brother chiefs
who were associated with him in q
delegation from their nation, in the
year 1924, to the Government Of the
United States. Pushmataha was
warrior of great distinction. He
was wise in council, eloquent
in an extraordinary degree, and on
all occasions, and under all circum-
stances, the white mans friend" He
died in Washington on the oath of

by a dramatic and historic speech
It was delivered at Fulton, Mo-, BY
Winston Churchill. It brought intt
the open, what is still regarded al
the goal OF Russian policy. Mr.
Churchill said:

There was an upsurge March AZ
when Stain told Eddy Gilmore
head of the Moscow bureau of th'
Associated Press, neither the ma
tions nor their armies are seeking
another war" He also restated hi
faith in the United Nations as az
instrument of peace.
From that point onward, through
the rest Of 1916, through 1s47 ant
up to the present, no real evidence
Of recovery has appeared.

Russians and their satellites at th'

of an east-west division became ap'

The Yugoslavs shot down ar

The United States delivered a 48.

At Least 10 Major Issues
Greece and Turkey came under
pressure from Russia, bringing or
the Truman doctrine" Of aid K

squeeze out all opposition to the
Communist Parties in Hungary, Pc.
land and Romania and then t.
install Communist governments II
each.
The lowest point came when the
Marshall Plan was announced. Tht
opportunity to participate in it wa
offered to all of Europe. Russia de-
clined to participate, and it was NJ
surprise when the nations in tht
eastern bloc" came to the same de-
cision. Czechoslovakia went through
the embarrassing experience of frs
accepting the invitation and ther
declining after her leaders were
summoned to Moscow.
Today there are at least 10 major
issues between the United States
and Soviet Russia. They are:
/. Reparations from Germany.
2. Economic unity for Germany.
3. The Polish boundary.
4. The failure to hold free elec-
tions.
5. Freedom of navigation in Gen.
tral Europe.
6. Korea.
Z. Control of atomic energy.
8. Economic questions involving
only the United States and Russia
8. Russian pressure on Greece ane
Turkey.
10. Communist Party efforts tt
retard the recovery of Europe b,
wrecking the Marshall Plan.

An official of the District Rent

One clause provides lessor shall

to any discontinuance of heat, hot

ice is furnished, or for the discon-
tinuance of any other service, caused
by accidents, breakage or strikes,

face to lead the rain water into a dry
well. This pipe meets all the speci-
fications of the National Bureau Of
Standards.
The joints are flexible and stay
watertight under DETECTION caused
by ordinary soil settlement or earth
tremors. The tight joints prevent
entry Of root growths or inf1ltrations
Of ground water. The pipe is easy to
carry, easy to install and may be
connected to other kinds of pipe.
The joints are readily made and
may be easily and quickly coupled
to the pipe length without the use
of cement or joining compounds.
The basic diameter of the joint Is
larger than that in the coupling so
that pressure is developed when the
joints are driven together. Rootfree
pipes come in 3, 4, S, 6 and 8 inch in
side diameters and in S and 8 foot
lengths. Any length may be cut with
woodworking tools or handsaw, thus
eliminating waste and dead ends.

William r. Cannon, a professor

military training in time of peace
