ervations as outlined in a pro-
posed bill prepared as a result
of Joint Congressional Resolution

packed gallery in the courtroom
of District Judge J. w. Speer
Monday night.
Representatives of the govern

icy Board, which speaks for eight
tribes in Montana, presented pro
and con arguments, then joined
with the audience in a question
and answer period following the
forum discussion.
A distrust and misapprehension
on the part of the Indians as to
the real purpose of the proposed
measure to end trusteeship and
concern as to the impact it would
have on the state and what added
load it would bring to the well
fare department and other state
agencies developed as main points
in opposition to a sudden
change.
DR.. Catherine Nutterville serv-

THE CHRISTMAS
CELEBRATION

On Christmas Day we will
pause from the rush and turmoil
of busy season of activities to
celebrate the birth of the great
est religious leader of all time
who is looked upon by millions
of followers throughout the world
as the divine Son of God who
came to earth in human form to
reveal the will of His Father and
teach mankind how to live that
their lives might be bettered here,
and point the way to life beyond
this realm of mortality reaching
out into eternity. 1t is a far cry
from the time this Savior of the
World was born in Bethlehem
nearly two thousand years ago to
the civilization of the present
time as we know it today. I'm
perfectly following the precepts
of the Christ, mankind has made
unbelievable strides in raising the
standard of living in every land
where Christianity has been en-
braced, while in other parts of
the world, following other reli-
gious leaders, the story is total
ly different. But even in our own
country, where we like to look
upon ourselves as followers of
the divine leader born in Beth
lehem, we fell far short of liv-
ing up to high ideals which He
taught.
Despite the lack of total ac-
ceptance of the teachings of the
one whose birth we celebrate on
Christmas day, there is a Won
drous influence for good as men
consider, even in a mild form,
the principles of love and broth
erhood that characterized so
much of the teaching of the
Christ.
1t is a we'll known historical
fact that while the birth of Christ
is celebrated on December 25th
throughout the world, there is no
indisputable record that this day
was the exact date of the birth
of the Savior. Long before Christ
was born, this season of the year
was a time of celebration and
worship among the peoples of
the then civilized world. At this
time of year nature seems to be
turning from the seasons of
growth and boutiful production
that has drawn to a close, and
pointing to a recurrence of the
cycle of life and growth that lies
ahead. This was a time of cele-
bration, thanksgiving and hope
for the coming season, and is
emblamatic of the hope that was
implanted in the hearts of men
by the advent of the Son of Man
whose birth occurred in Bethle-
hem, pointing to Immortality and
future life.
On Christmas Day, as at no
other time in all the year, the
minds of thoughtful men of good
will turn naturally to better
things - expressed in the spirit
of unselfishly giving to others,
and the practice of love and char
ity toward all mankind.
1t is with this thought in mind
that we express to our relatives,
friends and neighbors the senti-
ment of Happy Christmas.

At Wrong Person, He Says

HOUSTON - Gilman Hugh
Roy Cullen said Friday Rocky
Mountain area oilmen protesting
a plan to take over 100000 acres
of Blackfeet Indian reservation
land in Montana we're aiming
their protests at the wrong per-
son.
81 have had nothing to do with
that project" he said on hearing
of the protests.
He said it was project of his
nephew, Lucien Cullen, but he,
Hugh Roy Cullen, is in no way
involved, either financially or in
an advisory sense.
A spokesman at his office said
there was a letter on file from
Lucien Cullen which would prove
the philanthropist was not part
of the Blackfeet transaction.
Last week, Lucien Cullen an
nounced a project to take over
management of the Blackfeet
land, pending approval of the In
terror Department. The proposal
would permit Lucien Cullen to
take over farming, mining, water
rights and tourist trade of the
reservation on $3.50 profit
sharing basis with the Indians.
Lucien Cullen's office reported
he was ont of toyyn and in WASH
ington until Christmas.

Oilmen Protest Proposal
for Cunen-Indian Join-Up

DENVER - Proposed plans of
a multi-millionaire Gilman, Hugh
Roy Cullen, Houston, to take ov-
err the one and one-half-million
acre Blackfeet Indian reserva-
ton in Montana were attacked
Friday by a group of Rocky
Mountain area oil operators head
ed by w. w. Flenniken, Denver.
The group lodged a protest
with the Interior Department,
claiming that if the deal goes
through, they will be left out
in the cold"
Cullen's plans to take over all
Unbiased reservation land to de-
velop farming, mining, water
rights and tourist trade and speed
exploration for oil and gas were
announced Sunday in the Hous-
ton Chronicle.
Cullen was quoted as saying he
would send Lucien Cullen, his
nephew, to the Glacier county,
Montana, reservation to take up
legal residence. He further was
quoted as saying formal signing
of pact between his interests
and the tribe would take place in
Washington. Included would be
! il land belonging to the Black
, nct tribe.
Flenniken said Orme Lewis, in
terror undersecretary, promised
him there would be no immedi-
ate signing of the contract and
the Interior Department plans to
make a thorough study of Cul-
lens offer.
Lewis pointed out the tribe is
authorized to make any type of
contract with any group or indi-
vidual as long as majority of
the adult tribe population was
agreeable and the interior secre-
tary approves.
Flenniken said lat least seven"
operators asked him to file the
protest. He said the operators felt
any leasing transactions should
be done under a bidding system
! giving all operators opportunity
! to participate.

President Sends Note
To Rhee in Step 10
Bar Truce Disruption
Eisenhower and Aides
Druft Plan to Reussure
South Koreu on Peace
By John M. Hiehtower
Associofed Press Stoff Writer

President Eisenhower sent a
message to President Syngman
Rhee yesterday in a move to pre-
vent South Korea's bitter opposi-
ton from disrupting an i'm
minent truce in Korea.
Highly placed officials con-
slider that full agreement on the
long-deadlocked prisoner-o -of-war
issue is at hand and that all
other matters may be cleared
away and an armistice actually
end the fighting in week or
10 days.
The most serious threat to
this prospect has arisen from
South Korean declarations of
opposition to an agreement which
would leave Korea divided. Lead
ers of the South Korean govern
ment have warned that they will
fight on alone for a unified
country if they have to.
Gen. Eisenhower conferred for
an hour yesterday with Secre-
tary of State Dulles, Assistant
Defense Secretary Frank Nash.
General j. Lawton Collins. Army
Chief of Staff and other advisers
on the South Korean problem
and subsequently dispatched his
message.
There may be some official an
nouncement regarding this mes
sage in the course of the week
end, since Mr.. Rhee has made
public various statements and
proposals of his own. including
a request for a defense pact with
the United States.
The President and his diplo-
matte and military policy makers
charted action to block South
Korean disruption Of a truce if
at all possible and the message
was designed to serve that pur-
pose, although there was no Off
cial announcement concerning it,
Secrecy covered the White
House deliberations, but it
seemed almost certain that the
United States would offer Presi-
dent Rhee's government fresh
new guarantees of American sup
port against any renewal of Red
aggression after an armistice.
That the next few days of the
truce negotiations and the South
Korean reaction are crucial was
indicated by the fact that Secre-
