Tribe Continues
Conservation Job

Since 1854, the Navajo Tribe has
participated in Reservation-wide
Soil Conservation program. In that
year, the Tribe appropriated $7O,-
600 to be used with the Department
of Agriculture's Agriculture Con-
Servation Program.
This is a federal program set
up to assist the land users through
out the United States to carry on
Soil and Moisture Conservation ac-
Invites. This program was initi-
ated in the 1905, and was first
known as AAA, later being called
PIMA and presently known as ACP,
or Agriculture Conservation Pro-
gram" Although a federal financ-
ed program. it is administered at

Benefit 800 Units

Many o. you will be interested
in what has happened in the Re-
location Services program. H o W
many people have gone out? Where
have they gone? How many are
taking vocational training? Are
they getting jobs when they get
through with their training?
Navajos used the Bureaus Re
location Services in just about the
same numbers in fiscal year 1860
as they did in fiscal year 1859.
800 units relocated; n entered
adult vocational training and 13
entered on-the-job training. 233 OF
these units were single men; 7S
were single women; and 70 were
families with S12 family members.
Altogether, this adds up to 623.
Los Angeles continued as the
Navajo's most favored city, re.

jos relocating during the year; Dali

local level by each county.
The Navajo land users through
out the Reservation participate in
this program by working with their
County Committee.
Regulations require that the land
user perform certain needed soil
conservation practices and pay a
share of the cost. This share nor
mally is about fifty percent. Here
is where the Navajo Tribe comes
in. Most Navajo land users are
aware that conservation work needs
done, but are financially unable to
pay their share of the cost, hence
the Tribes participation in the pro-
gram. A land user makes his re-

Colonies
Failure

Efforts to colonize the Indians,
and especially the Navajos, INTO
stable communities by early day
explorers were often futile. The
Indians, traditional nomads, did
not readily accept the idea OF COM
munity living.
Early in the 1905 the Francis
can Fathers of the Roman Catho-
lie church established the small
community of Cebolleta near p 'es-
ent day Laguna to teach agricul-
>ture to Indians of the area.
Shortly after receiving their allot-
ment of farming tools, the Indians
abandoned the settlement.
The Spanish government, deter
mined 70 establish farming COM
munity in the area, sent a small
band of colonists from Mexico TO
undertake the task. A wall was
thrown up around the village and
the new colonists set about plant
ing crops and building up their
herds of sheep and cattle. How

lowed in that order.
From the beginning in 1858 of
the adult vocational training pro-
ram, 1877 Navajos have entered
vocational training. 76 of these 1877
nave completed their training and
are now employed at good wages
as office workers, beauty Operat-
ors, BARRIERS, cooks, auto mechan-
les, welders, radio and TV repair
men, craftsmen, practical nurses,
dental assistants and professional
dressmakers, to mention just a
few of the trade. Two of the
mechanic in the Tribal Motor
Pool are adult vocational train
ing graduates; several of the
young ladies working nj the Tribal
Offices have got their training
through this same program. Others
are working for qB1A or Public
Health Service. Two graduates
have done so well that they are
now working as instructors in the
schools where they got their train

He traced the history of the

they fed to New York after Q
war with colonists in North ano
South Carolina.
The tribe obtained titles to
the land in question about 1900
with assistance Of Presidents
Washington and Jefferson, who
helped them sell their North
Carolina land for $4,000.
With this money the Niagara
Falls tract was purchased from
the Holland Land Co. The
Tuscaroras still own this land
themselves, a technicality which
played an important part in
the Supreme Court ruling.
Justice Black noted that il

In a sharply split decision
further limiting the historic
rights Of American Indians, the
Supreme Court ruled today
that New York State can take
over part Of a Tuscarora res
ervation at Niagara Falls for
a power project.
The ruling brought a singing
rebuke from the high tribunals
three-man liberal bloc, which
accused the court of breaking
faith with the Tuscaroras.
The case involved a l ,383-acre
tract of the reservation needed
for the Lewiston power site,
located Just below Niagara
Falls.
The Supreme Court reversed
a decision of the United States
Court of Appeals here that the
Federal Power Commission had
no authority to authorize New
York State to acquire the land
over the protest of the Indians.
Justice Black, speaking for
himself, Chief Justice Warren
and Justice Do'A.as, declared:

Cubo Calls Ship Blast
Step to Intervention

HAVANA, Mar. 7 (AP)-
r REVOLUTION implied today
that United States interests
sabotaged a French munition
ship in Havana harbor as a
prelude to military interven-
ton in Cuba.
The newspaper of Prime
Minister Fidel Castro'S revolu-
tionary movement returned to
the attack on the United
States as the United States
Embassy prepared to hand
Cuba a stiff note protesting
Mr.. Castro's graveside speech
Saturday. He blamed United
States officials for the blast.
In Washington, the State
Department began drafting
the note, to be delivered prob
ably tomorrow or Wednesday.
Calling the Castro accusation
completely irresponsible, off,
cials said the note will pull no
punches.

tience in our relationships with
Cuba, despite a series of great
provocations, but we are not

OLD BRIDGE, N. j., Mar. 7
(AP) "A brilliant 4-year-old
girl today faced the possible
loss of the only home she has
ever known because the State
says she is too intelligent for
her foster parents.
The couple, Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Combs, said they'll 60
to court tomorrow in a fight
to keep 4-year-old Alice Marie,
who has been called a near
genius.
The State says the couple is
more interested in watching
television than in reading
books.
Mr.. Combs denied the States
contention that he and his wife
cannot give Alice the "oppor-
tunities for intellectual and
cultural development" she de-
serves.
1--WE love Alice just as much
as our own two girls" he said.
But I'm not concerned with
our own feelings. It's Alice
who counts in this argument"

Welfare placed the girl with

was an infant. Then it became
aware of her precocious devel-
opment. She was reciting nurs-

The article in Revolution
was written by its leftist SUBJ

Old Technique Claimed
Every time the United States
has wished to prepare public
opinion in its country for mill
tary action" Mr.. Candels
wrote, "it has promoted a dis
aster producing loss of lives
and property"
Fridays technique, he went
on, was the same as used al
the Alamo in 1845, in the ex-
plosion of the Maine in 1898
the Lusitania disaster in 1915
and the attack on Pearl Har-
bor in 1941."
The newspaper did not ex.
plain how the sabotage of q
French ship-involving neither
Americans nor United States
property - could be used BY
Washington as a pretext fol
intervening in Cuba.
"A simple denunciation Of
Cuba's buying arms-which il
would not need if it did not
nave such stubborn and power
full enemies-waS not enough,

They needed something more
effective and with greater prop

The Justice Department has

Action would be taken in line
with the recent decision by the

Senate Democratic Leader
johnson of Texas today con-
f1rmed reports that the votes
are not yet available to end the
civil rights debate, as the Sen
ate began a second week Of
around-the-clock sessions.
He served notice, however,
that the Senate has not relaxed
its determination to reach q
vote, even though there was no
significant change in the situa.

The majority leader told re-

House Vote Is Key
A spokesman for the South
ern opposition to any civil
rights bill has said there is a
remote possibility his group may
permit votes on some amend
ments later this week. But most
observers are still convinced
that the Senate will have to
wait for the House to pass a
civil rights bill about March 16
and accept that bill without
amendment.
Meanwhile, Senator Heating.
Republican of New York.
planned to sound out other
pro-civil rights Senators on his
plan to ease the strain Of

During the nearly continuous

last week most of the South

while two or three Of their coll
leagues held the floor and
forced the advocates of civil
rights to wake up several times
each night to maintain a quo
rum.
If all 100 Senators were ac-
counted for, it would require 81
votes to stop the filibuster and
pass a bill.

necessary at this point. At the
