Devils Elbow On
U. Highway 2
To be Eliminated

The present route, Hart said,
"can hardly be called a two-lane
road" 1t lies south of the Great
Northern tracks.
To move it away from the cliff
on which it now hangs and to
avoid the threat of snow slides,
the new section will be mostly
north of the On tracks.
This move means contractors
will have to push the river over
a little so it won't be confined in
too narrow a channel" This is
the Flathead's Middlefork, which
marks part of the southwest
boundary of Glacier National
Park.
This river move actually will
be little more than widening of
the channel.
Montana's Highway Depart
ment helped federal agencies
with the necessary survey work
and worked out the right of way
agreements.

BIaekfeet Tribal Council
Has Special Message For
Members on Page Three

A special message to all men,
bers of the Blackfeet Tribe is
contained in a page advertisement
on page 3 of this issue of The
Glacier Reporter by the Black
feet Tribal Council.
Probably the most important
issue facing members of the
Tribe at the present time is the
so-called Mineral Rights" issue.
This is fully discussed from the
viewpoint of the Tribal Council
and those opposing the transfer.
Whether you are for or against
this proposal, the arguments as
presented in this advertisement
should be carefully studied by
everyone.
A bill to legalize the transfer
was this week introduced in the
United States Senate. 1t is now
highly important for the men,
bers of the Tribe to make their
final decision whether or not they
want this proposal to become
final.

Man
Stabbed Fatally
by Wife

of her brother nearby, and the
brother Immediately notified
Deputy Sheriff Ed. Colbert, who
in turn advised Dewey Brey, the
Browning chief of police, and
Coroner c. Murl Beck. The offic-
ers arrived at the Lunak home
almost at the same time, and
found Mrs. Lunak in a highly
nervous state, bordering on hys-
terra, but still rational enough to
give a coherent account of what
had happened.
The unfortunate woman was
taken to the city Jail and confined
until FBI officers, who had been
notified, arrived to take charge
of the case. After several hours
of investigation, officials ordered
the woman released from Jail on
her own recogniZance and she
was permitted to return to her
family, where, with assistance of
relatives, neighbors and friends,
she is recovering from the ter
rible shock and nervous strain of
the tragic occurrence and the
unnatural life she had been liv-
ing the past few days.
Lunak had born a creditable
reputation in the community and
had the reputation of being a
good worker when not drinking.
His wife was formerly Elva Hall,
member of a large and respected
Indian family, and had spent most
of her life on this reservation
and in Browning.
1t is expected that a grand
jury will be called to make a full
and complete investigation of the
case on March IA under super
vision of the FBI and final dis
position of the case will not be
known until after this action is
taken.

Anti-Polio Vaccination
For Montana Children
Not Before April !

IF studies show polio vaccine
effective" stated DR.. G. D. Car.
lyle Thompson, executive officer
of Montana State Board of
Health in letter, "the estimated
earliest possible vaccination date
for Montana children is April H."
"All state health departments
have been made responsible for
distribution of the polio vaccine
and the direction of the immuni.
zation program" DR.. Thompson
continued. "Our medical, nursing,
health, education, laboratory, and
administrative staff will be in
volved in helping carry out re-
sponsibilities in this program and
will be ready to assist you in
every way possible"
Final evaluation of the effec-
tiveness of the new polio vaccine
is not expected before April l,
and it may be later" DR.. Thomp-
son pointed out. "In the mean
time, it is necessary for plans to
be made so that if it is licensed,
the vaccine can be given to Mon
tana children as early as possible
before the onset of the 1855 polio
season. Preferably this should be
during the time they are in
school so that it can be done with
the greatest convenience.
If the vaccine is found effec-
tive, the program will involve
three injections of one cubic CEN
timeter each. The first two in
jections will be at one-week in
tervals; the third will follow the
second injection by four weeks.

Elva Hall Lunak was taken into
custody Tuesday afternoon at ap-
proximately las, at the Lunak
home in the southwest residential
section of Browning, following an
alteration in which her husband,
Alfred Eugene Lunak, was fatally
stabbed in the heart, and died al
most instantly.
The story of the tragedy, as
pieced together by reports from
local police and sheriff's officers,
Coroner c. Murl Beck, FBI offic-
ers, neighbors and others famil-
lar with the case, reveals a sad
set on circumstances brought on
by family diScord, aggravated by
excessive drinking
The Lunaks had lived in
Browning for some time, Lunak
being member of the Chippewa
Tribe of the Turtle Mountain
reservation in North Dakota, and
his wife a lifelong member of
the Blackfeet Tribe. They had
been married eight or nine years,
and had four small children, the
oldest seven and the youngest
about six months of age. Lunak
had worked at different jobs
around town, and recently had
been employed at the Handy
garage and shop.
The couple had been drinking
heavily Tuesday, it was alleged,
and shortly after noon engaged
in a heated argument, in which
Lunak is reported to have struck
his wife. In a rage, Mrs. Lunak
states that she grabbed a butcher
knife and struck her husband in
the chest, the blade penetrating
the heart and passed completely
through the slain mans body.
Realizing what she had done,
Mrs. Lunak rushed to the home

Bill IntroducedB v
.MUrroyfo Transfer
Mineral HOLDINGS

The Blackfeet Tribal office re-
ceived word this week that on
Tuesday, March l, Senator James
E. Murray introduced bill which
was numbered S-1219 in the us.
Senate which would transfer the
mineral holdings of the Blackfeet
Tribe to individuals who own the
surface rights to the land involv-
ed.
1t is understood that the bill
was introduced by Senator Muir
ray at the request of the Min
eral Rights Committee" of the
Blackfeet Indian reservation.
Council spokesman say they do
not have copy of the proposed
legislation but are expecting to
receive copies in the near future.
The proposed transfer of min
erals owned by the Blackfeet
Tribe to individual members of
the Tribe has been the subject
of spirited discussion on the
Blackfeet reservation in recent
months with supporters of the
legislation claiming that these
mineral rights should have been
originally allotted to those peo-
pie who received allotments of
land under the 1919 allotment
act, and opponents of the move
claiming that such move would
deprive landless members of the
tribe of valuable property right
and would seriously retard eco
nomic growth and progress of the
tribe. Organized opposition to
the move is being provided by
group who label themselves the
Committee for Protection of Tri-
bal Property"
No doubt S-1219 will be the sub
ject of much debate on the Black
feet reservation in the immediate
future with supporters and op-
ponentS of the bill trying to
drum up" support for their
cause.
Tribal Council spokesman say
that to date the council has taken
no official action either in sup
port of or in opposition to the
bill.
