al Council and Lucicn Cullen in
Washington, ID. C., have reached
a point where attorneys for both
the Council and Cullen are work
ing out details Of tho program
which are to be submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Indian Bureau. The formal pro.

In telegram to George Kipp,
who is acting chairman of the

ed the Tribe members that ncg0.
tiatiOns are proceeding in an or.
derby way, and that he expects
the details to be worked out to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
Members of the delegation who
have been in Washington for the
past week are expected to arrive
home soon. probably Thursday
or Friday of this week. Inform.
alton sent back by individual
members to Browning during the
weeks hearings and negotiations
tend to lend encouragement to
the prospects for a satisfactory
arrangement with Cullen and his
associates. but no definite in.
formation as to conclusive pro.
posals have been divulgcd.
AS a matter of fact very little
information of a definite nature
has ever been divulged as to Just
what kind OF an arrangement
Cullen is willing to enter into.
or what would be acceptable to
members of the Tribe. Until such
definite information is available
It will be impossible for officials
and members of the Tribe to ar.
rive at any final decision.
Delegation Attends Hearings
The delegation representing
the Blackfcct Tribe attended sew.

Some of these bills are deemed
extremely detrimental 10 the best
interests of the Indian people.
and are being strcnuously oppos.

selves. and different organiza.

attempting to help them.
At least five or six different
