YeIIowtail On The War Path

Senator Murray has been releasing
News Flashes" from his Washington
office to all Montana newspapers con-
corning his actions and progress in
the matter of securing money appro-
priations from the Congress to begin
the construction of the Yel1owtail Dam.
The newspapers of Montana on July
18TH published one of such stories. The
headlines of which,, stated, Senator
Murray says construction of Yellowtail
sDam can start without approval of the
CROW tribe" Other releases have urged
Sec. Mckay to proceed with condemna-
tion to acquire the tribal lands needed
for this Dam irrespective of the wishes
of the Grow tribe that owns the lands.
These kind of urgings to override the
rights of the Crow tribe in their treaty,
constitutional and property and many
other rights, have been flashing forth
from the office of the Senator regu-
Iarly in the very recent past.
we have Constitution, a BILL of
Rights" and many decisions of the
Supreme Court affirming the rights
of every person under the American |
Flag. to the equal protection of the
law under the 9Th amendment and it's
action which is in violation of all of
the news releases from the office of |
Senator Murray, he urges high handed |
action which are in violation of all of
these sacred rights guaranteed to |
every person in the Constitution.
Law is law, and the Constitution be-
ing the hub or supreme law of the |
land which defines the rights of every |
person under the American Flag in
GLIDING the Indians, should be scrupu
lousy respected by everyone including |
the members of the Congress who are
elected by the people to help guard |
these rights and also to pass new laws
to better safeguard existing rights if
need be instead of trying to destroy,
deny and nullify existing property and
Constitutional rights of the Crow tribe
in and to their sacred Treaty rights of
their tribal lands, so the government,
its Bureau of Reclamation may
step in without court action, granting
due process to the Crows to be heard
in their own rights, before any taking
through the power and force of govern
ment takes place. This is the issue :.
Tyranny again, is on the march in
Indian affairs administration. Let's see
where it ends.-ROBERT YELLOW

The Readers Forum

/ ton The surface users badly need
| champions. Suppose if the surface users
| organized a lobby the same as the oil
companies have, the present Governor
would do as former Republican Gov
| ernor did after begging for the farmers
support in prior election, call them
Pinks, Reds and Communists.
The Little Hoover of Montana, in
the Governors chair, argues that the
oil companies must have special in
centives to risk capital in oil pros
pecting, though science has taken most
of the risk out of said prospecting.
Science has not as yet taken the farm
ers' yearly risk out of the weather
conditions, besides all of the other
risks the farmers take each year. (In
addition to Benson in the national
office, as Secy. of Agriculture.)
If the oil companies strike oil, they
have virtual perpetual lease with
"a ceiling. The surface users have "a
5-year lease with ceiling. The
only protection the surface user has
is, that he may retain his lease at
the highest bidders offer.
While we are on this subject of Little

of states rights, why do they not rec

not seem to have a champion in the

report says, that it exists In
all the so known species of this
family.
Navy scientists have devel-
oped a special glass which
changes color when exposed to
atomic radiations.
The intensity of its f1uores-
cence is proportional to the in
tensity of the radiation, which
is recorded on a meter. Here.
according to the Office of Ma
val Research. may be the an
Swer to the search for a low
cost. simple, rugged device for
measuring radiation.
Several years ago DR.. James
H. Schulman, a scientist of the
Naval Research Laboratory,
discovered that glass contain
ing small amount of silver
was normally colorless under
ultraviolet light but turned
orange under such light after
it had been exposed to X-ray
or gamma ray radiation. This
is the basis of the new light
meter which now is being used
by both the Navy and the Air
Force in the form of dog
tags"
How D0simeter Works
AS developed for personnel
use. the dosimeter operates
over a range of from 10 to 600
roentgens (the standard meas
ure used for radiation)-or
from a harmless amount to
twice the amount which ordi-
narily would prove fatal to
a human being. Very much
higher intensities. however,
are proposed for the steriliza-
tion of foods and drugs, and
there is need for a meter which
will measure this for the
protection of industrial per-
Sonnel.
Another type of silver-acti-
waited glass probably will be
suitable for this purpose, &C
cording to the NOR announce
ment. The development is
expected to be an important
contribution to the five-year
study of food preservation by
radiation recently announced
by the Quartermaster Corps.

istration is following the in

In Men1orion1

AS another three-day Memorial Day
week end approaches, 1t would be well II
every motorist gave thought, in memo
riam, to the 351 persons who lost their lives
during a similar holiday period one year
ago. Last years death toll was the highest
ever recorded for a three-day Memorial
Day observance. Some of these accident
victims were on their way to decorate the
graves of war dead. Many of them were
en- route to beaches or other recreational
places-and bent on getting there in
hurry. All of them helped to bring last
years traff1c-death total close to the $4,000
mark.
An analysis of the grim statistics by
the National Safety Council disclosed that
nearly three out of every ten drivers in
fatal accidents were speeding. One out of
every five of the crashes occurred between
and pm. Three out of four OF the
accidents happened in clear weather on
dry roads AS result of these studies the
American Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators has issued some timely ad-
vice to drivers for the forthcoming week
end: Gl) Start your trip in the morning
