65 cents each received their white slips and proceeded to the window to be given roller skates.
 Juanca Turner asked for a size eleven for himself and size four for his companion, Helen Carter.
 After receiving his skates, he and Miss Carter retired to the bench to adjust their skates. It didn't take long for Juanca to realize that the skates for both of them were much too small.
 Juanca then walked over to Earl Bradley who was in charge at the time and explained his predica- ment. Bradley then said that he had no skates that would fit Juan ca and the girl and that numerous skates in the skate locker belonged to private parties.
 He stated further that the rink was being moved to Pennsylvania and that a good deal of the skates were not available.
 Point Missed
 Juanca and Helen didn't quite get the point. They retired to the other side of the room.
 A few seconds, later James Ken nel and his companion, both white, came up to the skate locker and asked Bradley for a pair of skates, sizes eleven and four.
 After receiving his skates he and his date retired to adjust them. While he was sitting there an at tendant approached him and asked if he needed any help. The at tendant then walked over to the skate locker where Juanca was standing in conversation with Earl Bradley. When the attendant re- turned, James told an astonished court that this attendant said, and l quote: "Just wait a few more minutes we're having some trouble with some Negroes and we're try

ing to get rid of them by giving l them skates that are too small. '' James Bethea and Margaret Nims were the last of the group to arrive at the skate locker and when they did they were told that their were no skates available, but that both of the Negro couples could obtain their money back. | However, the couples did not care to have their money refunded and so they waited until the white cou- ples had removed their skates and they left.
 The attorney for the defense of Bradley who was representing the skating rink tried in vain to prove that there was no discrimination. One of the questions he asked a witness was what organization do you belong but Judge Phillip Sul- ivan made it clear that this had no bearing as to whether a crime had or had not been committed.
 Throughout the whole trial the large audience of both colored and white citizens was constantly alert listening to every minute detail.
 Tn the first row were the wit nesses of the defense separated with a few empty seats from the witnesses of the prosecution.
 In the middle of the courtroom against the wall stood the judge very solemn and patient.
 Bradley sat next to his attorney on the right of huge desk of Judge Phillip Sullivan just few feet in front of the bailiff.

what they intended to do they de cided to go roller skating at the Holland Skating rink which is often called the, Mosque because it's roof is built similar to the ancient buildings of the Far East.
 The four girls rode to the Mos que in a car owned and operated by one of the boys. The other three boys went by bus. When all had ar rived they met in front of skating rink.
 The first couple to enter was Alfred Kalish and Edith Horowitz. They purchased their tickets and were given two white slips of pa per which they were to surrender to acquire their roller skates. The reason that the group had gotten separated was that some of the boys had gone to the mems room.
 Alfred and Edith didn't have any trouble at all. They merely walked in received their skates and pro- ceeded to skate. This couple was white When the first Negro couple came in they purchased tickets at

On two occasions this matter has been brought before the local courts. One time it was thrown out for lack of sufficient evidence and the second time some technicalities in the law prevented actual con viction and the correction of dis criminatory practices of the skat- ing rink.
 But this time things were diff ferent. The prosecuting attorney, James O'Connell, had made sure that everything was according to the law as prescribed by the state. And when the trial began the true story of what happened on the fateful day of June 19, 1948 began to unfold before the citizens of our soverign state. It was approx imately eight o'clock in the eve ming when a group of eight young people four white and four colored met at the home of James Bethea. After a little concentration as to

and all the gang from B. H. S.
band pile out and put on a little
show for the local yokels.
Each section of the band shows
how h e y would interpret the
theme Comm Round the Noun
tain. " First, the piccoio and drum
section play the theme ala the
spirit of 1776" lin a Yankee
Doodle manner). Then the entire
clarinet section give their rendi-
ton as "Butterfys." T h oboe
gives it's idea of the song ala snake
charmer or hula dancer fashion.
The cornet section play the theme
ala Bugle and Drum Corp. The
trombones then do some soulful
moaning ala moo-cows. T h
BASES interpret the theme in a
heavy manner, suggestive of ele-
plants, and the drummers appro.
lately finish off with "BEETS''
Drum Beats).
The conductor calls All Aboard

putting the old 81 is again under

Tribal Loan Bill.
By
Murray, Ecton

A'A~AA I ~, AVSVA
Senators Murray and E c tom
have jointly introduced the same
bill introduced in the House by
KEEP. D'Ewart early la t week,
the measure, which was prepared
by Felix Cohen, Washington law
yer, having been published in last
weeks Chief.
! Providing for a $4,000, 900 loan
to t n e Blackfeet Tribe, with a
portion of their oil royalties and
other assets as collateral, the bill
appears to be generally popular
around the Blackfeet Reserva-
ton. A minority of the Blackfeet,
1t is understood, are skeptical of
1t, feeling that their future SUBJ
sistence m G h t be hopelessly
Hooked"
several meetings, including one
at Heart Butte last Sunday, have
been h e d at which members of
the recent Blackfeet delegation to
Washington have sought to ex-
plain the bill.
That the minority's skepticism
may be changed to an attitude
of approval, it is being proposed
that they have representation at
Washington when the bill comes
up f o hearing by committees.
Hearings should be in h near
future.
! Rep. D'Ewart, writing to the
Chief late last week, said he con-
sidered the bill an effort of merit
and if wisely administered should
be of great benefit to the Black
feet Tribe. Senators Murray and
Ecton have also praised it. Their
general approval of it is indicated
by their joint introduction of it.
. However, as w t h most bills
dropped into h e congressional
hopper, it probably will be amend
ed or so changed as to be to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Yet. in its satisfactory form it
must still be acted upon by the
House and Senate. And finally,
bill for the asked-for $4,000, 900
appropriation must follow.
Recently submitting draft of
the bill to Indian Commissioner
VIM. Zimmerman, the Tribal dele
cation accompanied it with a let
ter, excerpts being as follows:
The enclosed draft represents
the best thinking of our Tribe. in
which we have had the assistance
Of several Bureau employees and
the assistance of legal counsel of
our own choosing.
We recognize that this draft is
subject to further improvement
and we hope that in the hearings
which may be called on this meas
ure there will be ample opport-
unity to consider any possible i'm
provements of language n d of
detail.
We believe that h e general
objectives of h S measure will
have the sympathy of all men of
good will who are familiar with
our problem. In the solemn treat
les and agreements W it h the
Blackfeet Nation, t h e United
States pledged assistance to
our people to obtain the means
to enable t h m to become self
, supporting. as a pastoral n d
agricultural people, and to edu-
cate their children in the paths Of
civilization.' Our people have
! faithfully carried out every obi
cation we h ave undertaken to-
wards the United States.

Ball can't call signals on the

stops. A conservative attack won't
wing the high-f1ying birds and
even a shower of pigskin pyro-

will be more interesting for the
customers.

to regain his magic footing and
