that she will be able to be remov-
ed to her home in a few days.
The accident, as reported in the
paper last week, occurred about
seven miles south of Browning,
and not west of town as origin
ally reported. Mrs. Olgarte was
riding in car with her husband
and other passengers, when some
kind of mechanical trouble de.
veloped in the car, and it plung-

MANY BOOKS AT LIBRARY

The Browning branch of the
Glacier county library has a large
and varied array of good books.
Among the new ones recently re-
ceived is Russell Janney's so
Long as Love Remembers" Mr..
Janney is the author of The Mir
acle Of the Bells" which was so
very popular a few years ago.
This one, too, is sure to have wide
appeal. 1t is a story of love and
hope and faith. Olgo Lasenko of
Wilkes Barre is the heroine. Her
story is a heart-warming one -
one that will hold the reader to
the very last.
We hope to call attention to re-
cent additions at the library with
short weekly reviews. Mrs. Des-
Roster welcomes requests, which
are quickly filled from the large
supply at the main branch in Cut
Bank.

INDIAN POLICY

Interior Department are seeking
to "solve the Indian problem" by
abruptly revoking Federal pro-
tections and services, the Assoc.
iation on American Indians AT.
fairs charged today.
This abandonment" of legal
responsibility has produced "a
crisis more acute than any that
has faced the Indians in our
time" the Associations president,
Oliver La Fargo, said in a special
newsletter released at its New
York Office.
profound misunderstanding" of
their true needs in both Congress
and the Interior Department
threatens to destroy the Indians
rights, and eventually their pro-
perty and their hope for progress,
Mr. La Fargo declared.
"a sudden end of Federal safe
guards that protect Indian self
government and ancient home.
lands can neither enlarge Indian
citizenship nor remedy wide
spread Indian poverty, ill health
and ignorance that are the real
Indian problem" he said.
Interior Officials and Congress
ional committees are ignoring the
tragic history" of state and local
discrimination against Indians,
Mr.. La Fargo pointed out. Hast
lily drawn transfer bills are being
endorsed and pushed headlong
toward enactment without public
hearings or notice to the Indians"
he said. One of these, Public
Law 28[, passed the 83rd Con-
greSS in August.
The new law opens the way to
state, civil and criminal jurisdic-
ton over Indian communities re-
gardless of local conditions, and
without consultation with the
tribes themselves, Mr.. La Fargo
stressed. He called for public
support of President Eisenhower
in securing amendments to this
measure urged by the President
on August Is.
Mr.. La Fargo cited three other
bills as examples of the Federal
"abdication" policy now domin-
ating Congress and the Interior
Department.:
l. H. r.. 4985 in the House would
end quickly as possible individual
trust protection and Federal SER
vices to Indians.
2. S. 2515 in the Senate would
liquidate all tribal organizations
and dispose of their assets within
three years.
3. "Possessory rights of Alaskan
Indians and Natives to their an
cient lands and waters are threat
ened by another bill, H.R. 1927.
This drastic reversal of policy
promises of century,"
Mr.. La Fargo said, ION the basis
of which Indian tribes coded most
of the United States to the nation
promises that Indian tribal
organizations would be recog-
nized. Indian customs respected,
Indians property safeguarded."
Mr.. La Fargo asked for public
support to help reverse the pre-
sent "anti-Indian mood in Wash
ington'. IF the worst Indian be.
trayal in hundred years is to be
averted"
What Indians need he said,
is Federal program that keeps
faith with the nations commit
ments, promotes rehabilitation,
group by group, of those we have
so poorly served, that gives the
Indians themselves authority, step
by step, as they ask it.
In that way, as Indians acquire
health. education, and economic
independence. and as they grad.
ually take over complete manage
ment of their own affairs, Federal
responsibilities will atrophy and
become superfluous without abb
rupt. Incorporate. and chaotic
Federal action"

slonal committee hearings held
here a few days previously, the
new Commissioner of Indian At
fairs, Mr.. Glenn Emmons, held
a hearing in Browning last Sat
urday afternoon that had the ring
of sincerity and every appearance
of real desire to ascertain, first
hand, existing conditions on the
reservation, and if possible, work
out a solution.
MIR. Emmons came here without
fanfare, under direct order from
President Eisenhower to gather
all the information possible up.
on which to formulate a work
ing, pratical policy for the gov.
eminent in future dealings with
the Indian people.
| The new commissioner is not
new to Indian problems, having
spent most of his lifetime near
the Navajo reservation in New
Mexico. His appointment was
made by the president only aft
err the endorsement of the Indian
people of the Navajo and other
reservations of the southwest,
and from outward appearance,
| they made no mistake.
The commissioner was accom-
panied by several top-flight ad-
visers, and representative of the
attorney-generars office in Mon
tana. The hearing was friendly
and informal, and much valu-
able information as to conditions
as they exist, both among the In
dian people themselves and the
agencies set up to serve them and
protect their interests, was gath
cred. That some beneficial re,
suits from the commissioners Wis,

ly cooperation displayed by both
those seeking information and
those offering it.
Several Blackfeet full-blood In.
dians expressed their views, and
speaking through an interpreter
cited injustices to their people
and offered suggestions for bet,
ter relationships.
Charlie Ironpipe was one of the
first speakers. He is a rather un,

menace to his people. He urged
the government to give more at

reservation, particularly as it per.
tains to the suppression of illegal
traffic in liquor.

urged that these treaties, as we'll
as other rights of his people, be
not abrogated at this late date by
some plan to "emancipate the In
dians."
Theodore Last Star argued a.

Gil - and the Indian Bureau. He
is chairman of the honorary
council of the Blackfeet, and a
persistent advocate of coopera-
ton between the agencies, bur-
eau and representatives of the
Indian people. He suggested that
more could be accomplished by
cooperation and understanding
between the different factions
than by any amount of pickering
and working at cross-purposes.
Charley Revis, half French and
half Blackfeet oldtimer, urged
that everything pertaining to the
Indians interest be handled thru
the Indian Bureau.
Another full-blood, whose name
is not available, reminded the
commissioner that he - the In
dian speaker - was republican.
and expected some beneficial re-
suits from the change of admin
istration, and the change of poll
cy advocated by the republican
administration.
Other speakers from the ranks
of the full-blood Indians spoke,
expressing various views.

Mr.. Paul Fickinger, director of
the Area Office of the Indian
Bureau at Billings was present,

proceedings of the meeting. He
stated privately, however, that his
office was much interested in Ii =

would receive his attention, and
that he was particularly interest

There was much good natured
raillery during the proceedings,
and the new commissioner was
adopted into the tribe with due
ceremonies. This function was in
charge of Jim Whitehall, whose
father was the last recognized
chief of the tribe. Mr.. Emmons

State Prisons Chief
Heard At LiIIinqton

Walter Anderson, director of
North Carolina Prisons, told the
Lilli' .gton Woman's Club on Fri
day afternoon that in the admin
istration of the prison system an
earnest effort is being made to
place the emphasis on human val
ues.
Discipline, discovery and deliv-
erance" are the slogans of the long
range program which he said are
directed to one end, rehabilitation
of as many prisoners as possible.
"We do not expect miracles, -
Anderson said. I'VE will fail many
times, but it is a challenging goal.
After nearly q years in the field
CT law enforcement 1 am not dis
couraged."
The former State Bureau of In
veStigation head defined discipline
as synonymous with training.
When first mentioned this to
prisoners as key word of our pri-
son program, 1 could feel the at
mosphere charged with tension, I"
the speaker said. He went on to
explain that prisoners must be
given instructions about regula-
tions, learn to abide by them
learn how to conduct themselves,
learn how to work, be instructed
in cleanliness and rules of right
thinking.
AS an aside, Anderson noted, that
many prisoners have never work
ed. THE word is just not in their
experience" he said.
BLAMES FAULTY THINKING
Most prisoners behind bars, he
said, are there because of faulty
thinking" He went on to note
that newest experiments in psy-
chology indicate that right think
ing, not environment, is the de-
termning factor in conduct. I'm
other words" he said, "a man with
right thinking can rise above an
adverse environment. Our pro-
program is geared to S.imulate
right thinking"
In this connection with improve
ment of outlook and morale, An
derson outlined the challenging
program now underway in educa-
ton of prisoners; majority have
grade school education and less,
he said. He reported the prisons
now have one educational director,
but the plan is to find a prisoner
in each road camp who can teach
others.
Under the word discovery" the
director classified all medical and
pSychiatric information collected a.
bout each prisoner Immediately on
admission and before he is assign
ed to duties. For many Ander-
son said, sit is the first adequate
medical examination they have
ever had"
The word discovery" also en-
braces every effort, made to "kin-
die the little spark of good in ev-
eryone" He noted several examples
of the improvement of prison con-
duct due to interest in music,
crafts, or other phases of the pri-
son activity. 7,a
