Yule Trees Fire Hazard,
Warns Fire Underwriters

That Christmas tree you are
planning to set up in your home
could be a major fire hazard un
less you take a few precautions
the National Board of Fire Under,
writer's warns.
Tests made by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc, demonstrated
that Christmas trees of average
size are easily ignited and burr
furiously. The blaze could easily
start a dangerous fire in the
home.
Engineers of t h e National
Board offer the following sugges.
tons for making your Christmas
tree safe:
l. Choose a small tree. 1t will
be less hazardous.
2. Wait until few days be-
fore Christmas to set up your
tree.
3. Keep the tree outdoors un-
til ready to set it up.
4. Place the tree in the COOL
est part of the house.
S. Ifa radiator is near the
tree, shut it off.
6. Do not use cotton or paper
decorations unless they are flame
proofed.
7. Do not place electric trains
around the tree.
8. Do not use candles. Use
electric lights instead.
9. Make certain wires are not
frayed. Choose lighting sets bear
ing marking VIII ich indicates
listing by Underwriters Labora-
tories. Inc.
10. Do not plug or unplug the
lights beneath the tree.
II. Do not leave tree lights
burning when no one is in the
house.
IL. If needles near the lights
turn brown, change the location
of the lights.
13. When needles start falling,
take the tree down and discard
it.

Indians Liberty
To Suffer From
Dept. Proposals

The Association on American
Indian Affairs in a public state
ment November % called on Sec
rotary of the Interior Oscar
Chapman to revoke a proposed
Indian Bureau policy which
denies Indian tribes their right
to independent and freely select
ed legal counsel"
In a statement released by the
Associations legal committee.
President Oliver La Fargo said
the Indian Bureau h d drafted
the new S6-point code without
consulting Indian tribes or citi-
zens' organizations concerned.
The Association opposes the new
policy, Mr.. La Fargo reported, as
AN unbelievable backsliding to-
ward old repudiated practices of
paternalism and tutelage.
The legal committee, headed
by Associate Professor Charles
Black of Columbia University,
singled out five regulations which
mark an increase rather than
decrease of Indian Bureau con-
troll over the natural right of the
Indian tribes, as self-governing
political and social groups, to run
their own affairs :"
Text of the Associations state
ment follows:
The Association on American
Indian Affairs has carefully con-
sldered the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs November 9 policy
statement and proposed regula-
lions of h e Indian Bureau on
contracts between attorneys and
| Indian tribes.
| We deeply deplore the general
tendency of this announced pol
icy. AS whole. it is one of min
ute supervision of attorney con-
tracts, an unbelievable backslid-
ing toward the o d repudiated
practices of paternalism an d
tutelage. 1t is the first major in
stance in many years of increase
rather than decrease of Indian
Bureau control over the natural
right of the Indian tribes, a self
governing political a nd social
group, to run their own affairs.
This regressive step answers no
felt need. Spokesman Of the In
dians, who would feel the need if
it existed, oppose this step. Sig
nificantly. they were not consult
ed in the formulation of h i s
policy.
In particular, we object to the
following regulations, among
others:
l. The new policy provides
that the extent of a tribes need

vices. shall not be determined by
the Indians themselves, but by
the Indian Bureau. This is at
best gratuitous paternalism. At
worst, in the case of tri b e
J desiring the aid of an attorney in
opposing the Commissioner or
} the Indian Bureau, it gives the
Commissioner power to thwart
the tribes right of opposition.
: Along the same lines, the new
policy requires that every con-
tract contain a provision that it
may be terminated without cause
by the Commissioner, with tribal
approval. While this might super
ficially seem to favor the inter-
iests Of the Indians, it will be
hurtful in the long run, since it

Supreme Court To
Review Appeal On
Western Union

The Ohio Supreme Court will
hear the states appeal against
the Western Union Telegraph
Company which wants to shut
down its office at Bellefontaine,
Delphos, Marysville, Ottawa, Mt.
Gilead and Lebanon.
The company proposed to close
the offices without the approval
of the State Utilities Commission,
holding that this would not con-
stitute abandonment of service,
because kilograms could be sent
through the local telephone Of
fices.
The state asked for injunctions
to stop Western Union on the
ground that Ohio law requires
approval of the commission for
such a step. But the lower courts
claimed that the Federal Com
munications Commission has au-
thoriZed such actions.
The state is appealing on the
ground that Ohio laws take prece-
dence over FEC rulings.
