scout for the United States Army
in the late 16OO's, is as varied
as the story of the Navajo Tribe,
Of which he is a member.
King, who now resides near
Pinedale on Navajo Tribal lands,
was born in the late 1865, in
what we know as the State of New
Mexico. Kings age, nearing the
10 year mark, is only an approx
imation, there being no records
kept at that time.
Army Service record show that
Jeff King served with the United
States army, in the Cavalry, for
Cover twenty years. Today King
still receives a small pension from
the Government, for those years
of service. During his tenure serv-
ing the Army, Jeff was a scout,
mostly with the Cavalry, and serv-
ed mainly in the Fort Wingate
area. During this service King
was wounded several times.
In addition to serving regionally.
Jeff also made several longer
scouting expeditions with the Cav
airy. One of the most outstanding
recollections in the old mans
memory concerns one of these
trips. This journey lasted more
than nine months.
The troops, with Jeff accompany
ing them, left Fort Wingate south
into Old Mexico. From Mexico the
troops turned to the West into
the California Territory, North,
up the Pacific coast line, before
turning back East toward home
and Fort Wlngate. This trip, over
1000 miles, was made afoot and
on horseback, through some OF the
worst desert and mountainous re-
gions of the Southwest and far
West.
King has served with some OF
the most famous military names
in Americas history. General
John j. (Black jack Pershlng,
and General of the Army Douglas
Mac Arthur. Both of these out
standing men Of fame were sta
toned at Fort Wingate, at one
time during their military car
GERS.
Recently King, accompanied by
Laird Savage, Executive Manager
of the Fort Wingate Centennial
Commission and Ernest Yazzle,
Kings nephew and officially APP
pointed Interpreter, made an ex-
tended tour of New York, West
Point and Washington DC. This
trip. made under Government au-
spices, was to honor the old scout
and also to help publicize the COM
ing Fort Wingate Centennial, in
late August, of this year.
King was taken on a tour OF
Old Fort Jay, the Statue OF Lib
erty and many other points OF in
terest in the New York area, in
GLIDING the United Nations. jeff
then went to West Point, New
York, where he was taken on
tours and feted by both the Com
mandant and Corps of Cadets Of
the United States Military Acad-
envy.
During these tours Jeff was in
terviewed by multitude OF the
various news media in the area,
as well as appearing on the Today
TV show.
Jeff and the party then embark
ed for the Pentagon where the
old mans charm and appearance
captivated everyone with whom ne
came in contact.
At the Pentagon King was pre-
sented with the Indian Campaign
Medal, by Lieutenant General )

Of the United States Army. This

fallout absorbed by plants is
absorbed by the leaves rather
than through the soil.
Thus, it was indicated, if
most of the fallout is already
down-and no further tests
were held-the future hazard to
plants is lessened.
Concentrated in TOpsOil
DR.. C. w. Christensen of the
Atomic Energy Commission lab
oratory at Los Alamos, N. Mex,
reported that fallout is gen:
orally concentrated in the top
few inches of the soil. Certain
crops, such as lettuce, grass and
alfalfa, receive most of their
nourishment from depths "relaz
lively far below the zone of
fallout contamination"
Finally DR.. H. B. Tukey OF
Michigan State University sug-
'gested what he termed a sure
fire way to lessen whatever
hazard there might be from
radioactivity in plants.
His suggestion: Eat below
ground crops like potatoes,
sugar beets, radishes, turnips,
carrots-and peanuts.
He also said experiments
show that for certain crops. like
wheat, only a tiny percentage
of radioactivity gets into the
grain part, compared to the
amount absorbed by the foliage

Hearings on a proposed
constitutional amendment to
grant Washington citizens a
national vote ended today on
an optimistic note after a pa
rade OF congressional and COM
munity witnesses unanimously
urged action.
The Senate already has
passed a similar resolution.

nesseS who appeared through
the two-day sessions objected
to the aim of the amendment
to let voteless residents cast
ballots for President. Vice
President and Delegates to the
House.
House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee members considering the
proposal all attended hearings,
or sent spokesmen in an un-
usual show of interest. They
were the amendments sponsor,
Chairman Celler, Democrat of
New York, and Democratic
Representatives Rodino of New
Jersey, Rogers of Colorado.
Hoffman of New York,
Donohue of Massachusetts, and
Toll of Pennsylvania, and Re-
publican Representatives Nc
Culloch of Ohio, Miller of New

Changes in language of the
simple amendment were ad-
vanced.N Most would give the
district Senators and guaran-
teed voting powers for District
delegates in Congress.
Urges Quick Action
Chairman Celler repeatedly
stressed that residents must
grasp the opportunity this year
70 win passage Of the proposal
before the subcommittee. Be-
cloudir the issue could kill the
amendment, he said. But he
was optimistic about chances
OF congressional adoption.
Some witnesses insisted that

should not divert attention

Eight Republican Senators
today introduced an old-age
voluntary health care measure
they believe corresponds to Vice
President Nixon's views but
might cause the White House

visions.
They offered the bill as an
alternative to a Democratic
supported House bill that would
increase social security taxes
to finance hospital, nursing
home and surgical services for
persons over IS in the social
security system.
Sponsors of the bill were
Senators Javits and Heating OF
New York, Aiken and Prouty
Of Vermont, Scott of Pennsyl-
vania. Clifford Case of New
Jersey, Cooper of Kentucky and
Fong of Hawaii.
States Would Handle It
The sponsors explained that
their bill would establish a vol
untary program under which
States would administer health
insurance coverage for all per-
sons over IS. Unlike the House
bill of Representative Forand
Democrat of Rhode Island,
their bill would include an es-
timated 4 million elderly per-
sons not eligible for social Sc
curity benefits.
Persons over IS could sub
scribe for the health care pro-
gram by paying monthly fees
ranging from so cents to $13.
