Reds In Berlin
 Says US. Tapped Communications

BERLIN, tR - The US. com mand in Berlin Tuesday denied knowledge of a tunnel the Rus sians charged was used by spies tapping the Soviets' main com munication lines.
 A US. spokesman said, how ever, the Soviet accusation "is being investigated" Another Am erican official described the So- viet charge as ridiculous.
 The Russians announced their signal and intelligence officers uncovered long and elaborately equipped, 1,600-foot tunnel run ming from the American sector of Berlin into the Soviet sector.
 They accused American mili- tary authorities" of digging the tunnel and equipping it with an intricate system of listening de- vices, sWitchboards and record ing apparatus. The Soviets claim ed the Americans tapped three main cables which supply com munications for their forces in East Germany
 The episode was the most spec tacular in East-West relations in Berlin since the four hour deten- ton of four Americans, including two congressman, by Communist police last November in East Berlin.
 After a news conference in East Berlin, the Soviets showed West ern and Communist newsmen through the tunnel. It contained an air conditioning system, switchboard, an amplifier, record ing devices and the three cables which the Russians said were tapped.
 Each cable carried about iG0 wires.

The contract does not provide
for a payment Of a definite sum
for one month. one year. or
twenty years to the operator:
but these payments must be
made TO the operator by the

SO much for the technical

the wisdom Of adopting such an
agreement: as this.
The only way the operators can
make money from this agree.
ment is from royalty over and
above the l2ic per cen: which
goes 20 the Tribe l; is only
reasonable then. that as many
leases as possible are going TO
call for royalty over and above

Everyone knows tina; except
for leases in a proven field. the
higher the royalty you demand
on a lease. the less bonus you
will receive.
The operators themselves have
admitted that under this agree.
men: there will be no bonus
bids on Tribal land until the
fields are proven. Perhaps not
even then. as the operator can
dictate that the lease require
such high landowners royalty
that no company can afford to
pay a substantial bonus.
That. o: course. could mean
that the Tribe would make up
for the lost bonus money in
royalty payments: but everyone
knows that there is not an oil
pool under every tract Of land.
Many of our own Tribal members
have seen a high bonus paid for
