White Man Solves Witchcraft Scare iOf Tlinglit Indians

JUNEAU REThe near reign of terror among the Tlingit Indians of Angoon Village appears ended. A US. Public Health Service doctor and nurse arranged to fly today to the Admiralty Island community of 375 residents to
 combat a virus outbreak.
 A 16-year-old Indian girl who claimed magic powers at ancient
 tribal rites held at midnight was
 at a receiving home here, com
 mitted to juvenile authorities care.
 Thus the white mans investi- gation, by Asst. Dist. Atty. Ted Reifstack, explained reasons be- hind the reign of fright as due to
 scrideb their magic powers, but Reifsteck said, were also appar-
 ently satisfied there was no mag ic" in .olved when the Indian girl
 named persons who would be- 1 come sick, and who did sicken, 1 and also told other weird stories. He held hearing at Angoon Saturday. The girl and another girl, 12, each claimed and de-
 scribed their magic powers, out said they could not demonstrate them because it was not midnight. ] His Investigations, Reifsteck
 said, convinced him one Angoon family revived the ancient mid
 night rites after a baby girls death two weeks ago. At the mid
 night ceremonies, the girls, in
 turn, would name certain mon
 believers and predict certain people would become ill By coincidence, a virus epi- , demic broke out and some per sons named" became sick. The movement gained followers.
 Tt was potentially dangerous situation that fortunately was dis
 covered in tine," he said. The investigation was started
 as two messages were relayed
 here over an airline teletype
 system, the principal communi-
 cation link with the village 70
 miles southwest of Juneau on 1: Admiralty Island.
 Bob Kedrick, a reporter for the Juneau Empire, spent two hours at Angoon after the reports were received here.
 "The atmosphere of supersti- tion and terror that grips some of the residents is incredible" he said Saturday.
 Kedrick said there was no evil dence of physical violence to either of the girls or to residents
 who were not involved in the mystic rites

Experience during the first
change Of management in the
strip in November lends force tc
these warnings. The days fol-
lowing the Israeli takeover were
marked BY disruption of normal
services and food distributions
Riots followed in which food
depots were destroyed and some
$275.000 Of supplies and equip
ment lost as the result of loot
ing, burning and military action
Two serious clashes between
refugees and Israeli forces at
Khan Yunis and Rafah resulted
in 386 civilian dead, according t.
~. N. figures. Another 66 refu-
gees and local residents of the
strip were killed in scattered in
cidents.
The results or a changeover
without adequate security forces
on hand, 1t is felt, could be even
more serious. The mood Of the
local refugee population is de-
scribed as disturbed" despite
strenuous efforts of the Israeli
regime to restore order. The i'm

forces are on hand to take over
Immediately from the Israel
Army. the probability of riotinr
and mob reprisal actions i.
acute
Strong security measures would
be needed, it is felt. no matter
what political solution is reached
for the area. The three pos
sible alternatives at this point
are a return of Egyptian author
tiles, continuation of the Israeli
civil administration of control
by the United Nations under
some form of trusteeship.
These sources are highly skep-
tical of the idea that the United
Nations is now in a position tc
take over responsibility for the
GAIA Strip. The U. N. military
arm. composed largely Of young
recruits, is hardly capable Of per-
forming as an effective police
force. In addition to the danger
of riots. it would also be called
on to serve as q political security
force to prevent snbversiye. ac-
tivity from being carried on
among the refugees.
No Suitable Agency
As for political administration,
there is no agency within the
U. N. capable of taking over
Immediately the Job Of admins
tering the GAIA Strip. Present
U. N. responsibilities in the area
are confined to food distribution,
medical care and education for
about two-thirds of the entire
population. The entire non-Arab
staff Of the U. N. Relief ans
Works Agency in the Middle
East consists Of $50 people, of
whom few are qualified civil ad-
illustrators.
Presumably, If the United Ma
tons were to undertake admin
istration Of GAIA, this operation
could be expanded to assume
the new responsibilities. But this
would require several weeks at
least.
Would Need Big Force
These opinions put a new per-
spective on the demand for "im-
mediate" withdrawal Of Israeli
forces from the GAIA area. They
throw considerable authoritative
doubt on the argument that the
United Nations. at any time
since the beginning of November
has actually been in a position
to take over the disputed terri
tory from retreating Israeli
forces.
II they are correct, it also
seems unlikely that Israel could
attempt to maintain civil con-
troll of GAIA after its military
forces were withdrawn. Unless
powerful police forces were
brought in as a substitute. the
civil administrators would be ir
great danger of reprisal action
from the Arab population.
1t is believed that returning
Egyptian administrators would
face the same problem. From
many reports, it appears that

CAIRO. Egypt, Feb. is R.-
President Nasser is expected
to take some counter action
promptly unless new progress is
reported on Israeli withdrawal
from the Aqaba and GAIA areas
over the week end.
Although rumors of direct mil
Iitary action by the Egyptians
spread here in recent days. the
best informed quarters believe
President Nasser will rely on
stopping further Suez Canal
clearance work to pressure the
West into forcing Israeli with
drawal.
Whether President Nasser
would halt the clearance by an
announcement or simply SLOW

work already has been retarded.
