 We sincerely and urgently re- quest that you, yourself, take the control of this situation away from your assistant, Orme Lewis, who has proved that he is biased. When influential friends of AMI CA have inquired of you for the meaning of all of this, you have referred them to Orme Lewis, who, in each case, has smugly re- marked that AMIGA has already had hearing in Washington. Sir, there was no hearing in Washing ton in August; there was a con- ference and the agreements made at this conference by MT. Lewis and MT. Emmons were all broken by them. This conference was nothing but a poorly disguised Kangaroo" court.
 Both President Eisenhower and yourself in national publication have repeatedly stated that you favor private enterprise and favor getting the government out of private business. Your action against AMIGA bellies your claims.
 It would seem that a Congress sional investigation is indicated Therefore, we urge that you ar range for a Congressional investi- gation at the earliest possible mo- ment with all of the native stores represented by their director or their authorized representative Congress has established appro- priate committees for these inVes- tigations.
 Through your friends in Port land and Salem, Oregon, we are informed that you are big man and that you can take criticism and suggestion. We sincerely hope that your friends are right in their analysis and we are more than willing to be convinced. This is your chance to prove whether you are a big man.
