Tom Aubrey Writes
From Albuquerque
On Cattle Quest

Tom Aubrey, writing to t h e
Chief from Albuquerque. N. NJ,
where he is purchasing cattle for
several individuals in this section.
this week said that on h S way
sou t h he observed unfavorable
weather conditions for cattle. In
southern U t a h. in particular,
they were still dying as t h e re-
suit of depleted vitality because
of the inroads of a bad winter.
Indications were good for spring
cattle in New Mexico, he said. A
very good class of Herefords, as
good as Montana's was available.
All through the southwest. he
said, northern cattlemen a r e
looking for replacement cattle,
most of it for breeding purposes.
Breeding or stock bulls, he said,
are very scarce in most places he
had been. Good range Hereford
bulls are hard to get, he ex-
planned, as breeders h ave con-
tracted their salable stock, especi-
ally two-year-old bulls. f o r. ser

and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in
Congress assembled, that recog-
nizing the intimate economic and

tention to the needs of returned

able interest rates, for acquisi-
ton of breeding stock.
2-The development of other
agricultural pursuits and enter
prises on the Blackfeet Reserva-
ton by means of an expanded
agricultural credit program.

Federal Loan
Quest Is Under
Way For Tribe

WY A1WC
In the first of a series of meet
ings to be held in various Black
feet Reservation communities to
explain the proposal, members of
the delegation, who were in
Washington recently in it's behalf,
met with a large representative
group Of Tribal members at t h e
Agency barracks Monday. after
noon to discuss important high
lights in t h e delegations quest
of a congressional loan of two
million dollars which W o u d be
used in ar extensive operation to-
wards lettering the way of life Of
the Reservations Indian popula-
ton.
Speaking for the delegation,
Tribal Councilman Leo Kennerly,
who W t h Henry Magee, chair
man; Polite Pepion, vic e chair
man; VIM. Spearson and VIM.
Buffalohide made up the group to
Washington, re a d a House bill
that was presented to Congress
by M O n t ma Representative
Wesley A. D'Ewart earl y last
week as the initial. s tep in the
quest of the funds.
A copy of the bill is contained
elsewhere in this issue of the
Chief.
The bill was prepared at the re-
quest of the delegation by Felix
Cohen, now a Washington attor-
ney in private practice. Formerly
he served in the Bureau of Indian
Affairs office as solicitor n d
chairman of the appeal board in
Indian matters.
Kennerly told his audience at
the Monday afternoon meeting
that every member of the Mon
tana's congressional delegation
Senators Murray and Ecton a n d
Representatives D'Ewart a n d
Mansfeld--was Fundamentally
in favor of the loan to the Black
feet tribe, as was also the Bureau
of Indian Affairs.
Discussing the background of
the quest, Kennerly said t h t
OF her Tribal Councils of the
Blackfeet t ri b e in years passed
had conceived a s i m i | a r plan,
realizing its potential blessing to
Blackfeet Indians.
He cited t h a t a half century
ago the Blackfeet Indians, h e n
holding title to what is now Gla-
cier National Park, disposed of it
to the Department of the Interior
for million and a h a | f dollars.
He also recalled from history the
Sweetgrass d e al in which the
Blackfeet disposed of property
for a comparatively paltry sum.
Respectfully in both instances, he
said, the money was not employ
ed gainfully and finally there
came day when every penny OF
the transactions was gone.
Failure of h e Blackfeet tribe
to utilize the money for the pro-
motion Of t h e future economic
welfare of the tribe should stand
out as a moral at the present time
when it is still in possession OF
revenue that in part may be di.

and economic betterment, Ken.

 Nobody can blame the President for wanting a little relaxation-and if he enjoys the type of humor Iisked out by Harry Vaughan, then hat gentleman may serve useful purpose and might be immune from newspaper comment. However, since he also plays a part in influencing our foreign relations, and since some 1,600,O00 American boys in the armed forces must salute the uni form of a major general, then it should be within the bounds of fair comment to scrutinize more closely Vaughan's earlier experience and present career

yAUGHAN'S MONKEY
 WRENCHES

Nobody would begrudge General Vaughan his seat at the right hand of the President, his medals, his limousine, his titles or his flunkeys, or his S12,o00 salary, if it were not for the fact that the General is not satisfied to remain court jester. He insists on pok- ing his hand into the delicate machinery of government.
 And whenever he does so, he nearly always inserts monkey wrench.
 In 1946, for instance, as Europe faced bleak starvation, Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton Anderson ask I'd the American public to forego liquor in favor of bread. The grain allocation for distillers and brew CTS was cut. Some months later, as hunger abroad increased, the grain allocaticn for distillers was cut again.
 At this point, General Vaughan telephoned the Agriculture Depart ment, got Anderson's assistant, Ma than Goenig. on the wire, and stormed:
 What do you mean changing the distillers' quota again without in- forming me? I'm the one you are to deal with on that. I had assur- ances that the quotas were not to be changed, and want this order rescinded immediately
 Vaughan was so v1tuperative that Koenig got Secretary Anderson, then out of town, on the long-dis tance phone. and recommended that the cut TOT distillers be rescnded. General Vaughan, Koenig warned his chief, was in no mood to be trifled with.
 Tell the General" Anderson re- piled, that he was not confirmed by the Senate to act as Secretary of Agriculture
 Just what General Vaughan's connection was with the liquor in-' dustry is not known, but it is known that he remains plentifully supplied by an ex-hootlegger. John Maragon. Maragons relationship with both Vaughan and Truman is so close that he actually turned up at the Potsdam Conference along with Jimmie Byrnes, Winston Churchill and Premier Stalin.

VAUGHAN WOOS NEGRO
 VOTES

During the recent election cam paign, Vaughan was kept pretty well out of sight Truman realized that a bemedaled general constant ly at his right hand would not go down well with the voters-espec- ially when he was preaching peace. So the General was kept in the background.
 However, this did not prevent him from putting in his political oar-and sometimes rocking the boat.
 To win Negro votes, he conceived the idea of sending the famous Negro aviator, Colonel" Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, once Emperor Halle Selassie's one-man Ethiopian air corps, to Europe to inspect Ne gro troops.
 Arriving in Europe with an ad- vance build-up by Vaughan, Col onel, Julian toured the entire American zone of Germany as the guest Of the Army, was given a

COMMUNICATION
Winfield Home,

Winfield Home,
 Juneau, Alaska To the Editor of The Empire, and Fellow Citizens of the Territory:
 It has come to my Knowledge during the past month that the De- partment of Public Welfare has been diligently and, at every op- portunity and Territorial expense, paving the way for legislation to license foster homes.
 After over twenty years of be- ing Foster Mother" I speak from experience I have studied the said bill, a copy of which was mailed to me by the Department, and I feel the people of Alaska should not let this legislation be railroaded through"
 The said bill states that the Department of Public Welfare will set up rules and regulations for Foster Homes. They do not state  what rules or what regulations.
 They state licenses can be revok- ed for just cause. What do they mean by just cause? If the license is revoked for just cause" what ever that may mean, the owner or Tester Mother" may appeal before a committee or board consisting of the Department ol Public Welfare. Ii the Foster Mothers" do not comply with the rules and regula- tions laid down by the Department of Public Welfare, she or he may be fined CT spend time in jail.
 To the organizations of Alaska, both ladies and gentlemen, would beware of a blanket law that places supreme power in the hands of any department heads.
 It is not rules and regulations and supervision we Foster Mothers need, it is more than SIT month to raise a child on Can you raise your child on SIT a month?
 I am stating this publicly and feel very strongly on the issue. l fully understand and have studied the licensing bill, and am defin- itely not in favor of such legisla- tion.
 Rules and regulations will not feed hungry mouths or help poor unfortunate people who have to sign away their lives for a few dollars given by the mercy of the Department of Public Welfare.
 Sincerely,

VAUGHAN IN AUSTRALIA

Five years before Harry Truman became Vice President, Harry Vaug- han was a Missouri manufacturers representative for the Hines Com pany of Milwaukee, The T. J. Moss Tie Co.,, and the Helm Binder Co.,, also of K-.Waukee. Salary-S4,2 200
 Then. in 1889, Vaughan came to work for Senator Truman as secre- tary Came the war and Truman hit the headlines as head of the Truman Committee. Vaughan se- cured a commission as lieutenant colonel went to Australia where he served as provost marshal at Bris- bane He didn't get along too veil with General Macarthur and came home.
 Army Press Relations, when ask ed about General Vaughan's record in Australia, said that it could not go into details without querying the officer himself, in this case General Vaughan. No official record is ob- tainable, therefore, as to the exact areas where Vaughan served in Australia, or why he was trans ferred. Friends said, however, that he was a good rear-area officer.
