NAVAJOS, LEGISLATORS SEEK
ACCORD ON JURISDICTION
BY ]. NCrrIs Richards

For the first time in history dele
cation of the Arizona State Legislature
has sat down with the Advisory Com
mittee of the Navajo Tribal Council 10
discuss problems of m t u a concern.
Saturday, February 27. members of the
Advisory Committee were hosts TO nine
legislators who had come TO Window
Rock at the invitation of Tribal Council
Chairman Paul Jones'
The informal meeting had been ar
ranged to permit the Navajos 10 obtain
the viewpoint of key legislators on In
dian relations, and to give the legisla-
tors d better understanding of the Nav
ajo viewpoint on matters of civil and
criminal jurisdiction.
Chairman Jones opened the meeting,
with some nine members of the Advis-
ory Committee in attendance and with
a staff of tribal officials to give technic-
al advice and Interpretation of the var
ious topics discussed.
Mr. Jones welcomed h legislators
and outlined the Nava 10 viewpoint in
general terms, explaining that the Nav
dDOo live III ulItt StdttS III Nlll(u u1Ddl-
state relationships differ to some extent.
He emphasized the wish of the Nav
ajos to work out their problems in an
atmosphere of friendliness and coopera-
ton, but reminded those present that
there were some rights the Navajos en-
joy because of treaty and executive or
der that cannot and should not be sur
rendered. President Clarence l.. Car
penter of the Arizona State Senate
served as chairman of h e legislative
group and expressed the appreciation
for the invitation and for the opportun-
ity to exchange ideas and establish cor
dial relationships for the discussion and
eventual agreement on problems aris-
ing between the State of Arizona and
the Navajo Tribe.
Pres. Carpenter made it clear that
the legislators in this instance We're not
official emissaries OF the State Legisla-
ture, but were acting merely y as indi-
vidual members of the two houses to
explore possible avenues of agreement
between the Legislature and the Tribe.
Sen. ]. Morris Richards was called
on first to express his views on state
and tribal RELATIONSHIP ps, and in a short
talk told of his acquaintanceship with
the Navajos and their problems over

no English in the home.
The group will be accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel V. Shankland.
Shankland is principal of Soba Dalkai
School and Mrs. Shankland is a teach
period of more than 40 years. He said
he was hopeful that if Legislators and
tribal officials could sit down in friend
ly discussions. there would be no prob
lens that could not be solved to their
mutual benefit. He emphasized the i'm
portanCe of harmonious relationships
between the Tribe and all non-Indian
groups outside as we'll as in the Legis

Bald Discrimination

An Associated Press dispatch from
Teaneck, New Jersey, brings news of
what is aptly called fringe benefit"
long hoped for by bald-headed men.
The story tells of barber whose con-
science bothered him every time he
charged the full price ($1.75) for trim
ming the hirsute fringe around the shin
ing pate of hair-denuded customer.
So he adopted a scaled-down price
schedule for the bald or partly bald
This admirable member of the
tonsorial profession is Dominick st.
Angelo, man of action as we'll as words.
Nick, as his customers call him, gives
each customer who requests it a written
estimate of cost, based on the amount
of fringe to be clipped. The estimates
range from 81 minimum to the maxi
mum of SITS. The estimate is good for
future cuttings, too. Said Nick: "How
can I charge man the full price to
trim one-inch fringe which takes less
than five minutes In the chair? Even
when I fool around I can't waste more
than another minute or two" We of
little hair and little faith in some bar
bers have had our respect for tonsorial
artists restored by Mr.. ST. Angelo May
his tribe and his trade increase!

The Logical Route
The Nat

The National Capital Regional
Planning Councils approval of a shore
route for the water-safeguarding inter-
ceptor sewer for the Chantilly Airport
and adjacent areas virtually assures an
early start on that vital project. AS
Fairfax County has found, there Is no
practicable alternative to the riverside
route recommended by sanitation en-
gineerS. But Fairfax. County is COM
pletely justified in it's demands for
adequate spur connections to serve
future satellite communities around
the big air terminal
The county's appeal to the Budget
Bureau for halt to the plans for a
river route on the ground that it would
leave no funds for the spur lines was
properly denied by bureau officials.
While the county may be right in this
contention, there is no way of knowing
for sure what money will be available
until designs are ready and estimates
made. II the estimates indicate that
more than the $25.2 million authorized
by Congress will be needed to provide
service connections for the Difficult
Run, Sugarland Run and Horsepen Run
watersheds, then the Budget Bureau
should request the next Congress for
supplemental funds.
AS a matter of fact, the sewer act
made 1t clear that Congress intended
that areas in the vicinity of the airport,
on both sides of the river. should be
taken care of in the sewer plan. So there
should be no difficulty in obtaining
whatever additional money may be
needed to carry out that intent.

A camera that takes a pic
ture in 5-billionths Of a sec
ond now is being used by
scientists of the Army's Ord
nance Corps.
At the Picatinny Arsenal.
Dover. N. j., they are photo
graphing what happens to ex-
plosive materials during de-
tonation. There is almost no
time at all for exposure. For
comparison, they point out.
a five billionth Of a century
is only half a second.
In experiments thus far
the camera has made still
photographs of explosion
, shock waves travelling as fast
as five miles a second, or
$4,000 miles an hour. The
intense light required is pro-
vided by setting off an argon
gas bomb simultaneously
with the explosion being
photographed.
Purpose of Research
The purpose of the research
is to find ways of making
explosive materials more reli-
able and useful. The expert
mentors need more and bet
ter knowledge of what hap
pens during detonations. The
Picatinny scientists are in
vestigating all types Of ex-
plosives. many of them quite
new and little understood.
In practice. blocks of ex-
plosive materials about the
size Of a mans clenched fist
are detonated inside a large
steel-encased cell in a room
at the laboratory. One end
of the steel case is open, al
lowing the blast to escape.
Portfolios covered with
thick, shatter-proof glass are
located in the walls Of the
cell. The camera makes its
pictures through one of these
portfolios. Slower cameras are
mounted at other portfolios
to make different kinds of
pictures.
The experimenters remain
outside the room during the
explosions and observe the
experiments through a. sys-
tenn of mirrors and safety
windows. The detonations
are set of and the cameras
operated by remote control.
