ing goods dealer. was away from
home when the blast shattered
the f1ve-room frame dwelling, but
his wife. two sons and a nephew
were asleep in the house. They
escaped serious injury.
Even before the grand jury
went to work, Judge Hicks spoke
bitterly of the incident.
Human habitation is too sacred
to be treated in that manner, !"
he told the Associated Press. "This
court wants a full investigation
and whoever is to blame brought
to justice-whether high or low.
rich or poor"

prosecution officer for Russell

|vides the extreme punishment for

THE INDIANS
OF VIRGINIA
BY William J. Meyer

nEEP IN THE heart of Tidewater
- Virginia, little group Of honest
to-goodneSs Americans is clinging
tenaciously to its heritage and, for the
first time in 800 years, is looking hope
fully to the future.
The group comprises the remnants
of the Indian hordes that welcomed
Capt John Smith and his Colonists
when they landed in 1907 to establish
Virginias first white settlement at
Jamestown.
At that time, Virginia's Indians were
part of mighty confederacy of 30-odd
tribes Now they have dwindled to only
few hundred, living on two little
known reservations and in several
scattered communities, mostly in the
Richmond area.
Their history is a fiction like tragedy.
Lost in the colorful development of the
State, history scarcely mentions Indian
events in Virginia after 1776. The fact
is that discrimination against them has
ended only within the past generation
or so.
The powerful chieftain 'Powhatan
was ruler of the Indian confederacy
when Capt. Smith landed. If he had
thrown his tribal warriors, estimated
to number as many as 10000, against
the tiny colony, Virginia history would
have been a different story. However,
instead of resisting the newcomers,
POWhatan welcomed them.
Powhatan and his daughter, the
legendary Pocahontas, who saved
Evening star., 1952-06-22

Smiths life and later went to England
as the bride of John Rolfe, were of the
Pamunkey tribe. Their descendants
now live on one of the reservations.
When Powhatan died in 1913, his
brother, Opechancano, an unrelenting
enemy of the whites, ruled the con-
federacy. Undoubtedly, the whites
were guilty of ruthless exploitation and
property seizures. Undoubtedly, the
Indians were guilty of bloodthirsty
attacks In retaliation. Wars ragged for
years. During Bacons Rebellion in
1876, countless Indians-men, women
and children-were slaughtered. Sick
ness and neglect took more.
In the mid-1600S, the Crown estab-
lished the two reservations. Today.
there are fewer than 100 Pamunkeys
and about the same number of de-
scendants of the Mattaponi tribe, also
a member of the original Powhatan
nation, struggle for meager existence
on the other reservation
After the Revolution, Virginia con-
tinued to recognize the reservations,
but white encroachment and oppres-
sion unfortunately also continued.
Originally, the two reservations covered
thousands of acres, but together they
have shrunk to less than 1000, half of
which is untillable swampland and
scrub forest.
Close by live the last of the Chicka-
hominy tribe, also once a powerful
confederacy member. Elsewhere in the
Tidewater area are a few descendants

sumption of the famed football
rivalry between the two schools

trolled television plan revealing
that Notre Dame has applied fol-
a commercial TV station at South
