Senate Probers Hit
Attorneys Handling
I0f Indian Affairs
BY the Associofed Press

A congressional subcommittee
yesterday criticized the dealings
Iof James E. Curry, Washington
attorney. with Indian tribes and
urged the attorney general to take
!Mr. Curry's conduct to the court
A subcommittee Of the 1852
Senate Interior and Insular At
fairs Committee declared in a re-
port to the full committee:
Careful review of the record
leaves us with no choice but to
condemn Mr.. Curry's conduct
with relation to those Indians
who are his clients or whose busi-
ness he has attempted to procure.
Say Indians Were Misled.
with little concern for the
standards laid down by the
American Bar Association to guide
the ethics of his profession, Mr..
Curry has misled the Indians, i'm
properly solicited their claims, as
Isumed legal responsibilities toward
the Indians for the presentation
|of their claims which he could
not possibly fulfill and bartered
for his own gain the valuable
claims which the Indians had en-
trusted to his professional care.
"The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs is to be commended fo1
his announced decision, despite
public pressureS generated against
him by Mr.. Curry, to decline to
approve any new contracts be-
tween Indian tribes and Mr.. Curry
"The subcommittee approves
the action of the Department OF
the Interior in appointing a COM
mittee to review the departmental
records respecting Mr.. Curry's
fitness to represent Indians before
that department"
Report Signed by 3.
The report was signed by Sub
committee Chairman Anderson
Democrat, of New Mexico, and
Senators Long, Democrat, OF
Louisiana, and Watkins, Republi-
can, of Utah.
The subcommittee concluded
after studying evidence taken in
lengthy hearings last year, that
existing laws covering relations
between attorneys and Indian
tribes should stand pending fur
ther investigation.
Mr.. Curry, whose office is at SIG
East Capitol street, told reporter
that he had made a sworn denial
lof the charges to the Subcommit-
tee. He added that he "wel-
coined prosecution because it will
mean that after three years OF
linnuendoes at last they are going
to give ME fair trial before a
Jury"
He contended he had been
singled out for criticism as part
of an effort to transfer his law
business with the Indians to
others.
