ST. PETERSBURG, Flap
Fred Saigh, owner of the st.
Louis Cardinals, was enroute to
St. Louis today, satisfied his club
will stack up with the rest on
opening day.
He admitted, however, he has
a problem in the outfield.
IF we can get a center fielder
VIC can go all the way" he said.
Put we're going TO surprise
people. All these clubs have their
problems.
Center is still Stan Musial's
place but Saigh wants someone
who can beat Stan's throwing and
maybe be half as effective at the
plate.

Blackfeet Take To
Congressional
Record! But Why?

Last Saturday morning Post
master Tellifero placed a heap of
accumulated copies of the Con-
gressional Record on t h e large
public desk in the mail recipients
quarters in the building.
Like mail order catalogues that
often are received for box holder
distribution, the Congressional
Record copies soon found their
way into the hands of a group
of ambitious fullblood Blackfeet
people.
In fact, the way they grabbed
for this cold and pulseless piece
of literature sets one to thinking.
What use could these Indian
folks have for this sort of read
ing matter-not to d eny that
often the pages t e e m with
"funnies. For congress d o e S
some awfulIy funny things to
make one laugh.
The Congressional Record is a
word by word account of the
proceedings and debates of every
session. The present copies are
of Volume 81. That's goo d
many years history of congress.
1t is printed by t h e U. S.
Bureau of Printing, representing
a group of some of the m o
gifted and talented in the land.
Over the many years, then, it is
easy to und ers and why
printers copy" from congress
has m d e the poor old long
suffering Bure a u of Printing
sweat and swear.
Again we ask, what coul d
have interested our local Indian
fol ks in the Congressional
Records? They grabbed for them
like a cat after liver
They could have used them for
either of two things
They could have used them to
help kindle fires!

Bureau Head
Explains Goal
For Blackteet

! Commissioner Myers of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in a re-
cent letter to the Blackfeet Tri-
bal Council set forth what it con-
slders as the objective in it's
present program of Indian SUI
ervision.
The letter was transmitted
through Paul Fickinger, area
supervisor at Billings, and Guy
Robertson, Blackfeet A gency
superintendent, to Tribal Coun-
Gil Chairman Pambrun, and was
IN response to one that had been
written by Pambrun regarding
the title of Agency buildings.
which recently was challenged
by the Tribal Council when mem
bers posted eviction notices and
attached padlocks upon some of
the buildings.
Commissioner Myers letter is
as follows:
Area Supervisor Paul L. Flick
niger has brought to my atten-
ton your letter of Feb. IA, adj
dressed to Supt. Robertson of the
Blackfeet Agency, wherein you
express the view that the build
ings at the Agency, whose cost
was offset by the Court of Claims
in the judgment rendered in fav-
or of the Blackfeet Tribe in 1885
should be made available to the
Tribe for such use as they may
see fit to make of them.
After carefully considering the
question raised by your letter, it
is my opinion that the action of
the Court of Claims did not of it.

in question to the B a c k eet
Tribe. At the most, the Tribe
may have an equitable interest in
the buildings when they are no
longer needed for the purpose
| for which they were constructed.
AS the buildings were con-
structed for the purpose of ia
ciliting the discharge of respon-
slbilities imposed upon the De-
partment and the Bureau of Con-
gressional enactments, legal title
to the buildings and troll
thereof remains in the United
States so long as there is a need
for them in administering the af-
fairs of the Blackfeet Indians and
in rendering services for which
Congress makes annual appropri-
atoms.

the question raised in your letter
of February IA is actually only
part of a much larger problem

cred in isolation.

various proposals which have
been made recently by members
and representatives of the Black
feet Tribe that some of the func-
tons now performed by the Bur-
eau for the Blackfeet people be
terminated and that responsible
ity for others be transferred to
the Blackfeet Tribal Council. AS
you know, it has been for some
time the policy of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs to work toward a
gradual withdrawal from the af-
fairs of the Indian people and a
transfer Of functions and respon-
slbilities. either to the Indians
themselves or to other appropri-
ate governmental agencies-fed-
