Indians Finish Season in Drama of Glorv
Funeral Rites Held For
Geo. 0. Barger Wed;
Death Last Saturday

with deYOut and sOrrOWlng
hearts citizens of Browning paid
grateful tri butte to the late
George Obediah Barger at funer-
al rites held at the Methodist
Church Wednesday afternoon.
The Rev. Edgar B. Smith. local
pastor, officiated. Arrangements
were in charge of the Beck Fun
eral Home, interment being in
Crown Hill cemetery at Cut
Bank.
Pallbearers, all of whom are
members of the administration
of the Town of Browning under
which the departed had served
for years up to the time of his
death last Saturday, included
Mayor Ted Wynegar. Councilmen
Marvin Sparrell, Ed Shurr Jr..
VIM. Bercovich and John (Bud)
Peterson and Attorney w. R.
Mcdonald.
Mr.. Barger's death occurred at
the Memorial Hospital at Cut
Bank. following a several weeks
illness from broncho-pneumonia.
He appeared to be making favor
able recovery, but apparently the
gradual depletion of vitality was
more than the aged man could
bear. His death was without
suffering. The fine old heart
that had served him for 80 long
years finally gave out and this
venerable man passed on.
Mr.. Barger was born at Wash
ington, Iowa on November 26,
1868. Coming. west in 1905, he
lived at Neuthorpe, North Da-
ka for five years. In 1910 he
came to Browning, thus being
one of the community's fine, es-
Unable citizens for nearly a half
century.
Mr.. Barger's schooling was
gotten in high school at Milo,
Iowa and the normal TRAINING
| school at Indianola, Iowa: For
several years he was engaged at
school teaching.
Mr.. Barger's marriage to Miss
Laura E. Proctor was solemnized
at Liberty Center, Iowa on June
%. 1893 and to this union was
born two children, Marie Else.
thagen of Browning and Harold
Barger of Denver.
Mr.. Barger served as city
clerk of Browning for % years.
/ He had also done accountancy
work for several local business
firms over the years. A perfect
Spenserian penman with graceful
curves characterizing the sweep
! of his pen, he retained his gift
of artistry until the last. He had
had perfect vision all through the
years. having never worn eye
glasses.
Throughout his lifetime Mr..
Barger had been a member of
the Methodist Church.
Survivors include his widow:
the son and daughter already
mentioned; five grandchildren
and five great-grandchildren.

Trust Property
Income Subject
To Income Tax

Income derived from Indian
trust property is subject to both
state and federal income tax, &C.
cording to information submitted
in the form of a circular letter
to various agency superintend.
ents recently by Paul L. Fickin.
ger. area director. Bureau of In.
dan Affairs, Billings.
Since the situation applies, OBJ.
viously to trust income on the
Blackfeet Reservation, a copy of
Fickinger's letter, which orig.
mated as a reply to an inquiry by
Supt. James D. Crawford of the
Fort Peck Agency, is reprinted
as follows:
James D. Crawford, Supt.
Fort Peck Agency
Dear Mr.. Crawford:
l have your letter of January
l3 in which you make reference
to my letter of August 80, 1850,
wherein l transmitted Informal
ton about reporting and payment
of income taxes. You a dvi s e
that you have a number of re-
cent inquiries about the payment
of income taxes from the leasing
of trust property and that you
would appreciate any recent in
formation we may have in order
that you may properly inform
the members of the Fort Peck
Tribe.
There has been no change in
the situation from that on which
| reported to you in 1850. The
Federal Circuit Court Of Appeals
reversed the District Court in
the case of the United States VS..
Taunah wherein the Giro
Court has held in effect that in
come from trust property of In
'dians is taxable for, income tax
purposes.
Indians on the Fort Peck Res
ervation should be reminded to
this effect and of the necessity of
filing an income tax return in &C
rcordance with existing law. Fail
lure to do so may subject, them to
"a prison penalty under the law
ut is a prison offense or a fine up
ito $40, 900, or both, for failure to
file return.l WiIful evasion of
income tax is felony carrying
maximum penalty of five years
Imprisonment. Filing a return
is An absolute duty, but the tax
payer may claim exemption from
taxation vt the time he makes
the turn, and assert such ex-
emption before The Bureau of In
,ternal Revenue, and, if neces-
sary, in the federal court.
Until there is further change
in the situation, the decision of
of the Federal Court is the law of
the land today. l believe that
you will recall early last Year
in NJ a &c h at a general coun-
Gil meeting. Mr.. James E. Curry.
attorney for the Fort P &c k
Tribe. in response to inquiries
from various members of the
TT be, advised them that in his
opinion there was no way out of
Indians paying income tax on in
come from their trust property.
| do not know what has prompted
the thinking that there has been
any change in the situation, but
at any rate, there has been none,

taking funds on deposit to the In
dividual Indian Money account
with the superintendent in an
amount sufficient to satisfy an in

won't you please write an article on
where the Songbirds spend their winters
and also the approximate time they
leave us?
II had a catbird that has been espe-
cially friendly the last few years, taking
raisins from my hand.
Where does he or she 60 for the
winterp
Il also am interested in the thrush,
thrasher and wren.
I'VE have a towhee still in our yard.
Isn't it past the usual time for his
migration?"
Most of our songbirds spend their
winters in the Southern States. espe-
cially in Florida. but some of them, and
these among the smallest, fly clear to
Central America.
The catbird, prince of songbirds,
spends his winters southwark to the
Bahamas, West Indies and Eastern
Mexico and Central America to Pan
anna; a few are resident in Bermuda.
and a lesser number are accidental
in Europe.
The thrasher goes to North Carolina,
Missouri. Southern Florida and Texas;
accidental in Arizona and Europe"
the big book says.
The towhee often remains here, and
will be seen all winter at feeding sta
tions. Those that go South ny as far as
Florida and the Gulf Coast in general.

The steady stream of city dwellers
into the suburban areas builds up
great interest in bird life.
A typical example is M. E. F. Of Falls
Church, Va. who writes:
'Your articles are faithfully read
and appreciated.
Three years ago. when we moved out
Of the city, we didn't know whole lot
about birds, but now we know more
and learn every day something new.
I'VE have them all in our yard,
thanks to feeding stations and bird
baths. Every bird has his own charm,
his own way to do things, and even the
lowly startling is constant JOY to us.
"To see him, or rather them. half
dozen at time, congregate in the bird
bath early in the morning, for their
bath, in ice cold water, is probably one
Of the funniest pictures human eye
can register.
"See them go for pieces of suet! They
hop, they dance and fight over the
morsels in a way that gives you one
good solid laugh before you go to work,
and that helps.
1.-THE Knockers come to the kitchen
window sill for their raiSinS, the cardi-
nal gets his sunfower seed from the
feeding station when the bluejays make
room for him. and the sparrows. well,
they sneak in any time and most OF
the time.

This and That ;.

1.-TWO cardinals never will eat from
the same feeding station at the same
time.
1--WE wonder why this is. On the
ground they get along nicely together,
but not at the dinner table. Can you
explain?"
The male cardinal loves to bully his
mate at the dinner table. Some human
males, it seems, do the same.
1t is not until the first tinges Of
springtime that the male redbird
relentS.
Then, such is the power of the vernal
season, as Chaucer told us so long ago,
the male actually presents a sunflower
seed to his beloved.
She, so surprised she almost falls of
the perch. accepts the offering.
BY some human observers, not close
enough to see the sunflower seed. this
is called kissing"
Occasionally. an unusually belligerent
mother redbird delights in bullying her
mate, and this turn of affairs seems
quite right, some way or other.

"I enjoy reading your columns so very
much, especially those on birds and
other animals" writes B. S. of Silver
Sprng, Md.
"I treasure highly the article on dates

Pokiston Gets Advice

If unsolicited advice had any monetary
value the Young Dominion of PakiStan-soon
tn become repub,ic-could be filling its treas
ury quite handily these days For the current
fashion among Pakistan'S neighbors, and Tor
some who do not have even that claim Is TO
be most generous with advice to the DOMINION
on it's foreign policy particularly in regard to
its relationship with the United States.
Reports that American military aid might
be extended to PakiStan under the mutual
security program have aroused India, SoVlet
Russia and finally Afghanistan to the rather
presumptuous pitch of attempted scolding,
warning and cross-examining about what the
Karachi government may or may not have In
mind Prime Minister Nehru of India, whose
devotion to policy of So-called neutrality In
the cold war has led him to make frequent
critical comment about the Western powers, IS
pripped with "intenSe concern" at the reports
and has warned of "far-reaching consequences"
Soviet Russia which seems to know nothing
about the matter except what 1t has read IN
the newspapers, has submitted note to Kara
chi saying it cannot regard with lndlnerence
the reports" and asking "a clarlf1cat1on." The
Afghan Prime Minister has now entered the
skit through an interview in which ne an
nounced that his government is rather per-
turbed" and cannot entertain too friendly"
thoughts about the subject.
Pakistani Prime Minister Mohammed Ali,
q former ambassador to Washington, answered
the Indian protest promptly by warming that
his government will not tolerate any 1nterter-
ence from the outside with its policies. Not
surprisingly he expressed surprise that Indian
spokesmen should talk as though it is their
business to decide how Pakistan should conduct
her foreign affairs" Mr.. ALL who has estab-
liShed a reputation for speaking bluntly, is
expected to express similar feelings about the
Russian and Afghan inquiries.
The exact nature of such conversations as
have taken place between the American and
Pakistani governments has not been announced
by either SIDE 1t has been reliably reported
here that a military-aid agreement has been
under consideration but it has been denied in
both Washington and Karachi that the grant
ing of airbase rights in PakiStan-Seemingly
the subject of greatest concern to Pakistan S
,critics-is involved. Furthermore, at press
conference on November 18, President EiSen-
hover said that this Government would be
most cautious about doing anything that would
create unrest or hysteria among Pakistan's
neighbors. In New Delhi, however, the Presl-
dents choice of words upset them anew. I'VE
do not get hySterical in this country" an In
dian spokesman replied. THAT is highly Of
fensive thing for the President Of the United
States to suggest"
Meanwhile, Vice President Nixon has spent
several days in Karachi, during which he had

Puppet Pact

After some days of negotiations" in which
u Soviet representative took part, the Com
munist regimes of Peiping and Pyongyang have
signed a pact of economic and cultural
cooperation. AS result, North Korea now
seems more beholden than ever to Red China,
which in turn is beholden to the Kremlin-an
arrangement that might be described as an
understanding permitting the senior puppet to
dominate the Junior puppet under the overall
supervision of their Moscow masters
Thus, under the new pact Red China has
agreed to write off as free gift all the laid" 1t
gave to the North Koreans during the Soviet
inspired war of aggression. Further, it has
promised to help them rebuild their economy
by extending to them, over the next four years,
a grant of yuan equivalent to about $500 mil
lion. In similar pact-Signed two months
ago-they have received the same sort of pledge
from the Kremlin which has oStenSibly COM
mitted itself to let them have approximately
$3.50 million for rehabilitation purposes.
In exchange for this yet-to-be- delivered
Peiping Moscow largesse (which amounts to
only about half the total of aid that has been
projected by our own country for South Korea),
the Pyongyang Communists have agreed to
adopt "all possible measures for the tightest
kind of ties with their big Russian and Chinese
brothers. These measures are to include ECO
nonic, trade, communications, cultural ana
educational" arrangements. In other words,
they are to include arrangements that could
easily be made sweeping enough, and iron clad
enough to guarantee that the North Koreans
will remain in permanent state OF vassalage.
Yet, despite this, the Peiping and Pyong-
yang regimes have issued Joint communique
hailing the pact as an undertaking between
equals and as an agreement under which they
will be prepared at all times to cooperate with
all countries concerned in the great cause OF
carrying out the peaceful unif1cation Of Korea" !"
That has a high-sounding ring to 1t, but its
fraudulent nature can best be measured by the
way the Communists at Panmunjom have dead
locked the negotiating effort to reach an under
standing on the time, place and composition
of the political conference envisioned in the
armiStice.
In such a situation, as long as the Com
munists continue to block that conference, their
talk about wanting to cooperate for peaceful
unification" will be nothing but empty propa-
ganda Actually, because of their deliberate
delaying tactics there is every reason to suspect
that they are intent upon putting Oh indef-
nitely, if not forever, any meeting to work out
peace settlement ending the present partition.
The puppet pact. looked at in that light, may
well be regarded as just another step toward
perpetuating North Korea's captivity behind
the Iron Curtain.

the United States and Russia can live
together in one world will be by estab-
fishing an effective compromise around
the conference table.
OF course, such a policy might fail.
And the results would be just as un-
pleasant as they would be if pugna-
cious policy failed. But at least we
must allow for an honest difference of
opinion. There is no evidence as yet
that rigid attitude and an arms race
has ever avoided war, either. Some one
has always been at hand to set off the
powder.
Let's quit slamming our allies. Brit
aims postwar policy doesn't read bit
like appeasement. She has rearmed to
a greater extent than any other nation.
She backed us in Korea despite her own
war against communism in Malaga.
She has cut strategic materials to Red
China, though trade spells her very
existence. She has allowed atom bases
to be built on her island.
