GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
During the past month there have
been several changes in personnel
serving as Subagency Superinten-
dents on the Navajo Reservation,
partly as a result of retirement
of former Subagency Superinten-
dents. At CrownpOint, former
Subagency Superintendent Hobart
A. johnson accepted the super
intendency of the Mescalero In
dian Agency, and the Subagency
superintendency thus vacated was
filled by Kent Fitzgerald, former
ly Agency Relocation Officer at
Window Rock. At Tuba City, Mar
ion A. South retired, and his posi-
ton was filled by Clint o. Talley,
formerly Superintendent of Mes
calero Agency. At Chinle, Mr..
Fred Maxwell retired effective Oc-
tOber 81, 1860.
Various members of the staff
at Navajo Agency were subpoen-
aed as expert witnesses at the
trial of the NavajO-HOpi Boundary
Case. This case was tried by a
special three judge court at Pres
colt during October. In view of
the fact that the Navajo case rest
ed heavily upon proving occupan-
cy of the 1882 Executive Order
extension, testimony provided by
expert witnesses was primarily
concerned with proving Navajo oc-
cupancy of the disputed area, and
estimating the number of Navajos
using that area contempOraneous-
ly and historically.
In view of the continuation of
drouth conditions on the Navajo
Reservation area, MIR. Harvey
Dahl, investigator for the Depart
ment of Agriculture, visited Win
dow Rock during the last week
of October to survey range con-
dltiOnS and make necessary
recommendations toward continu-
alton of the Emergency Feed
Grain Program initiated several
years ago.

mlnistratOrs are being Oriented
concerning the tests. Administer
ing the tests, scoring, completion
of necessary data sheets and plans
for utilizing the results are all a
part of the training given to test
ing teams and administrators.
The Director of Schools and
members of his staff participated
in two-day meeting with the
Navajo Education Committee.
Leaders of several youth organi-
cations presented their programs
for the coming year. Several thou
sand Navajo boys and girls are
served annually by these youth
organizations. The goal of these
youth organizations is to streng-
then the present units and do pre-
liminary training for new units.
The Chairman of the Education
Committee gave summary of the
accomplishments of each of the
youth groups during the past year,
and commended them for the con-
tributiOns they have made toward
the welfare of Navajo youth.
The Juvenile Officer of the Ma
vajO Police Department invited
the Education Committee and
youth leaders to assist with the
growing problem of juvenile de-
linquency on the Navajo Reserva-
ton. He gave credit to the youth
organizations, the recent Navajo
Tribal recreation program and the
Bureau program for dong much
to prevent delinquency. He stated
that some kind of an institution
is needed to care for As delin-
Quents Immediately, and stated
that there are many more who
could benefit from attending a
well organized corrective institu-
ton.
The Director of Schools confer
red with the Fort Lewis A & NJ
College faculty concerning plans
for second workshop to serve
Bureau of Indian Affairs Instruc-
ti0nal Aids (Child Guidance) next
year. More than 23O Instructlonal
Aids took advantage of the work
shop held this year at the Fort
Lewis A & NJ College, Durango,
Colorado Courses offered were in
guidance and communications. 1t
is planned to lengthen the course
to four weeks next year and to
give wider selection of subjects.
The University Of New Mex co,
Arizona State College and the Uni
versity of Arizona are other col
leges offering similar workshops
to Institutional Aids.
The Public School superintend-
ents of the five counties of nor
thern Arizona invited D. j. FOs-
dick, Educational Specialist, Gen
eral, to participate in the Teach
er Institute, September "a, 1860,
at Arizona State College in Flag
staff. approximately $50 teachers
were in attendance. Material dew
eloped for orientation of Bureau
teachers new to the Navajo Res
was presented. This ma
terial was also beneficial to the
of Public School teachers
who are working with Navajo chill
dren in the public schools.
The Assistant Director of
Schools was Speaker at meet
ing of Presbyterian Missions at
GanadO on October 13. She ex-
planned the philosophy of Educa-
ton as adopted officially by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, gave
short history of Navajo Education

children.
During the month. two new work
erS reported to duty and were
assigned to Shiprock and Chinle,
while the Chinle worker transfer
red to Fort Defiance with head
quarters at HolbroOk. We are
hopeful of obtaining a supervis-
ory worker at Shiprock within the
next few weeks, but will still have
three vacancies to fill at Crown
point.
A review of boarding school en-
rOllments made for social reasons
shows the following children
under supervision, Fort Defiance
"a; Shiprock: 26 and Tuba City: Is.
Chinle 8; CroWnpoint, 81.
We are in the process of COM
pleting a survey of children plac-
ed under Bureau of indian .Af-
fairs supervision through court
order. The incomplete review has
already revealed that some court
orders were never corrected to
remove custody from the Bureau
of Indian Affairs and that in some
cases no report has been furnish
ed the court for. period of three
Or four years. AS time permits,
all court reports will be brought
up to date. AS of October IL our
records show a total of II chill
dren under supervision as foll,ws
Chinle: 1; CrownpO.nt: Ia Fort
Defiance: 8; Shiprock: %; and
Tuba City: 81.
Not all reports have as yet
been received from the Subagen-
cies.
During the month, considerable
staff time has been devoted to
the Orientation of new personnel,
and to Interpretation of the local
program as it involves cooperation
with agencies.
The Welfare Committee request
ed material for use in discuss
ing proposed legislation and also
visited one mission whose person
mel are thought to be engaged in
adaptive placement.
3. Branch of Law and Order
During the past n,ontn the Spec
ial Officers worked in cooperation
with the Tribal liquor squad at
the ShiprOck Tribal Fair. The
United States Attorney at Albu
querque, New Mexico, authorized
filing on two cases of liquor v.o-
lation IN the Shiprock area. The
United States Attorney at Phoenix,
Arizona, authorized filing on three
liquor violation cases.
On September q, 1850, the Spec

compishment is above the pre-
vlous month by IS UNITS.
tO VISITS TO Subag sncies
No visits were made to any of
tie oubagencieS.
On September 81, 1860 Tuba CITY
was authorized to start using the
new short medical form. 1t was
noted that there was a definite
upswing in the application flow
from that Subagency. In fact we
have reviewed an average of one
applicant folder a day.

Johnson Says Nixon
Opposes New Starts

and slogans Of Presidents
Coolidge and Hoover. Senator
johnson added Mr.. Nixon as a
mo new starts" candidate
Does anyone believe the
Republican candidate has
shaken himself loose from the
traditions of his party?" the
Democratic vice presidential
nominee asked retorically. "He
ignores our troubles by claim
ing they do not exist. He covers
the sore spots with a talcum
powder makeup Of tranquility.
WashingtOn's Picture
II cannot imagine George
Washington standing before
the Continental Congress and
saying Gentlemen our pres
tige has never been higher. The
English prestige has never been
lower. Let's 60 to Mount Ver-
non and play cricket"
His warning that it would
be dangerous to elect Mr.. Nixon
President spelled out in detail
a similar caution he voiced in
speeches yesterday in st. Joseph
and Springfield Mo. In those
talks he dealt mainly with
what he regarded as the dan
ger Of having a Republican
President such as Mr.. Nixon
and a practically certain Demo-
cratically controlled Senate
and House.
Senator Johnson bluntly told
Missourians yesterday that
religion is the biggest issue, in
many parts Of the United
States"
In the Springfield and st.
Joseph sections. where Demo-
cratic congressional candidates
voice apprehension about anti
Catholic feeling against Sena-
tor Kennedy, Senator johnson
used that problem as a key
point in his speeches.
His address last night to
5000 in the Shrine auditorium
at Springfield centered on "the
persistent effort Of the Repub-
lican candidate to hide the Re-
publican record"
He contended that q plain,
STRAIGHTFORWARD man would
have difficulty explaining RE-
publican stands on such things
as deficit financing. tight
money, small business failures,
unemployment and area rede-
velopment.
Perhaps that accounts for
the selection Of the Republican
candidate for President this
year." Senator johnson re-
marked. Perhaps his party
believes that q man who could
get away with the Checkers
speech in 1852 can explain any,
thing"
I'VE should not underesti.
mate Mr.. Nixon. I have seen
him operate since he first came
to Congress IA years ago. He
has considerable talents for
creating illusions and for giving
plausible explanations for the
most implausible facts. However,
I think Mr.. Nixon now is be-
yond his depth. This campaign
has been going badly for Poor
Richard and he has been jump
ing around like a cat on a hot
tin roof. He has pushed the
panic button"

CHICAGO, Nov. SENATOR
johnson called on the American
people today to choose what he
called the demonstrated ma
turity and courageous vision Of
John F. Kennedy over the dam
gerous qualities and "no-new-
starts" stand of Richard Nixon.
Here for breakfast and lunch-
con rallies of Chicago Demo-
cratic precinct captains and
other party leaders invited by
Mayor Richard Daley, the vice
presidential candidate also
suggested another televised de-
bate-Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
and Senator Barry Goldwater
of Arizona, both Republicans.
While this had a tongue-in-
cheek aspect. he insisted IN re-
marks prepared for delivery at
the breakfast session that such
a strange conformation would
point up grave contradictions
in the G. o. P. camp and show
Mr.. Nixon in the middle"
Senator Johnson's prepared
speech for the more numerous
and impressive aggregation of
Democratic potentates this
afternoon was grimly serious.
He declared the 1860 presiden-
tial campaign now has mar
rowed down to the crucial lith-
hour period where choices on
basic issues must be made in
the national interest free from
bias = political. religious or
otherwise.
The prime issue he cited was
much the same as the one put
forward by Vice President
Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge
at the very outset Of the Re-
publican campaign for election
as President and Vice Presi-
dent.
Cites Lost Ground
THE issue" Senator Johnson
maintained, "is simply which
leadership Is adequate to the
needs Of our times-which po-
litical party offers the best
prospects of preserving our way
of life and the freedoms we
cherish"
The Senate Democratic leader
drew on his own legislative ex-
perience in citing three major
areas where he said the United
States has lost ground during
the q. o. P. administration. AS
chairman Of the Senate Pre-
paredness Subcommittee, he
charged that our preparedness
has slipped in relation to Soviet
gains in outer space. missiles
and training of engineers and
technicians.
AS q member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
he asserted that "our prestige
Il in the world has slipped" and
as a member Of the Senate Ap-
preparations Com mittee, he
complained that our economy
has slipped because Of in
creased unemployment. lower
steel production, declining farm
income. higher interest rates
and an alarming bankruptcy
rate.

President Mckinley. the nor
malcy" Of President Harding

Police today held seven per-
sons after a racial clash last
night that left a Negro youth
with shotgun wounds in his
abdomen.
The clash was touched of
police said, when white youths
standing at a street corner
made insulting remarks and
tossed a bottle at a car driven
by Melvin Lightfoot, 18.
Young Lightfoot, accom-
panied by another man and
two girls, was returning from
a sandlot baseball game al
Gordon Park. He drove away
but returned shortly with nine
friends, some of them carrying
baseball bats, police reported
Willie M. Cline, 81, a white
man, ran into his house, got
a .38-caliber revolver, came
out and fired at the Negroes
The shot went wild, and the
gun was wrested from Clinek
grasp.
Cline ran back into his
house and fired two shotgun
blasts from his kitchen win
dow, police said. One of the
Negro youths returned fire
with the revolver, missing
Cline.
One blast from the shotgun
caught young Lightfoot. He
is reported in fair condition
at Mount Sinai Hospital.
! Cline and six others were
held without charge.

Defense Secretary Gates
says Russia is not likely to
start q major war. but may
cause cold war pressures "that
might involve us in minor mil
itary actions"
He contended during a tele-
vision interview yesterday that
"we're militarily ready and
sound" to deal with either a
small conflict or a major war,
and added:
"Our readiness is intact and
sensible, and we can quickly
deploy forces and augment
forces if we need to do So"
He urged Congress both to
provide funds for a new Navy
aircraft carrier and to increase
the amount voted by the
House for foreign aid.
The aircraft carrier "is
probably one of our great lin
tied war weapons systems, ~
Mr.. Gates said, and provides
the best means for this coun-
try ito project its power, par
ticularly in case of trouble. "
Carrier in Conference
The question of an additional
carrier is now before a Senate
House conference committee
The House refused to provide
money for one, but the Senate
voted $293 million for the pur-
pose. The committee meets
again tomorrow.
Tentative agreement was
reached by the group Saturday
on two of the many major
differences between Senate and
House versions of the defense
money bill.

johnson Warns Senate
Overtime Is Necessary
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star staff Writer

Senate Democratic Leader johnson Of Texas told the
Senate today must be ready to work from IA to 16 hours
day including Saturdays Congress to adjourn before the
political conventions which begin July II.
The majority leader said he has gained the impression
bringing
Evening star., 1960-06-27

the conventions, but he made 1t
clear he is prepared to come
back if that is necessary to
get the legislative program
through.
AS the House and Senate
met today they had two weeks
to finish a score of important
bills, if Congress is to adjourn
finally before the first conven-
ton.
Senate Republican Leader
DirkSen of Illinois indicated
he is less than enthusiastic
about weekend sessions to
speed adjournment. He told
the Democratic leader he
would take responsibility for
opposing Saturday sessions be-
cause members need some
time to catch up on their mail.
Hopes for Holiday
The Republican leader also
expressed the hope the Senate
would take holiday on July
4 so that Senators could medi-
tate on the historic importance
of the birth of independence.
Senator johnson said he
would be guided by the will of
the majority in deciding
whether to meet on Saturdays
and July 4.
But after listing the major
bills awaiting action, Senator
Johnson said it is obvious the
Senate must work from IA to
16 hours a day if it is to fin
ish by this Friday or even by
Friday, July 8. Among the
I. major issues are:
The minimum wage bill,
= medical care for the aged, the
school construction bill, the
a foreign aid appropriation, sew
eral other money bills and a
. sugar quota bill. Counting less
important subjects, Senator
: johnson estimated there may
be 100 bills awaiting action
= The Democrats also would like
to remain here long enough to
try to override an expected
Eisenhower veto of the pay in
creaseS for Government en-
ployes.
The decision whether Con-
gress closes up shop next Sat-
urday or carries over into the
following week, or even beyond
rests largely with the House
Rules Committee. That group
is sitting on two major must
measures and soon may be
perched on a third.
