Council as successor to serve the
remainder of the term"
1t would be my suggestion that
better and more satisfactory of
succession would be as follows:
If vacancy should occur in the
office of Chairman of the Navajo
Tribal Council, the Vice-Chairman
should succeed to the office of
Chairman and shall serve the re-
manning uneXpired portion of the
term for which the Chairman was
elected. The Tribal Council shall
thereupon appoint a member of the
Council as a successor to the Vice.
Chairman and the success sor shall
serve the remaining unexpired
PORTO of the Vice-Chairman's
term for which he was elected.
If vacancy should occur in the
office of Vce-Chairman, the Tri-
bal Council shall select and appoint
m EN- Der of the Navajo Tribal
Council as the suceS sor to the
Vice-Chairman, which success sor.
shall serve out the remaining m-
expired portion of the term for
which the Vice Chairman was
elected.
3. The third change, and this
seems to be necessary. in any event
is to delete the provisions of the
Election Procedures having to do
with the nomination and election of
judges of the Navajo Tribal Court.
The judges of the Navajo Tribal
Court are now appointed and serve
and hold office during the period
of their good behavior and at the
will of the Council.
The court as presently organ
lied is functioning with great credit
and distinction to the Navajo Tribe.
do not think you would wish to re-
turn to the old method of selection
of judges.
| urge upon all of you the neces-
sity of having your chapters con-
slider, at the earliest pos sible date,
the basic questions Set forth in the
Subcommittee letter of February
is, 1861, SO that full and careful
consideration can be given to the
suggestions for changes recon-
mended by the Navajo people and
so that we may all be satisfied that
the revised Election Procedures
and Rules command the support and
respect of the Navajo people.
Navajo times., 1961-11-29


the number of terms to which aper-
son could be elected as Chairman
of the Tribal Council was lifted and
removed from the regulations. The
certificate of the Chairman of the
Board of Election Supervisors in
dicates that 8,1O6 qualified Navajo
voters voted in favor of removing
the Limitation and $3.50 vote d a.
gainst removing the restriction. AS
a result of this vote, the restriction
was removed and has not been in
effect since that time.
AS Chairman of the Subcommit-
tee of the Advisory Committee on
Election Procedures, wrote each
chapter on the reservation, very
large number of the important and
influential Navajos. including those
who had expressed dissati sfaction
with or uncertainty S to the 1854
Election Procedures, and suggest
ed that each of the chapters, and
such individuals as wished to con-
cern themselves with it, consider
and determine:
"Whether any revisions Shall be
made in the Election Procedures
now in force and which were last
amended October IS, 1854?
eff changes S are to be m de
therein, in what particulars and to
what extent shall such changes be
made2
''Whether eligibility require
ments shall be fixed for candidates
for the office of Chairman of the
Navajo Tribal Council, and what
such qualifications shall consist
Off
whether a permanent voters
registration roll shall be made
eliminating the nee S sity of re-
registration, save and exc ept
where the elector fails to vote in
a general Tribal election2
Whether the dates presently
fixed for the nominating conven-
tions for candidates in the general
election shall be changed?"
1t is my personal opinion that
the present Election Procedures,
as revised October IS, 1854, are
imminently fair and that they af-
ford and provide full opportunity
to register and reflect the will and
view of the Navajo people. But it
is the wishes and desires of the Ma
vajo people that we wish to have and
the Committee will re spect the
view of the majority.
1t is for the Navajo people to say
whether or not, and if so to what
extent and in what respects, the ex-
listing Election Procedures shall
be changed, if at all.
1t has occurred to me and sub
nit for your consideration what l
consider improvements, rather
than changes, that could be made
in the existing regulations in the
following particulars:
/. To provide for permanent
registration. In senc e this
change would provide that when a
member of the Tribe has been
registered in any of the precincts,
or as an b S entee voter, that it
would not be necessary for him or
her, as the case may be, to register
again so long S they voted in every
general election held thereafter.
If, for any reason, the registered
voter did not vote in a general elec-
ton, then his or her name would
be stricken from the list of regis
tered voters and he or she would
be required to register again. This
would save the Tribe great deal
If money and the voters great deal
Inconvenience.

is estimated that approximately
$50 additional tons of chlorine
at a total cost of $4,000 will

Margin Of Protection
The aqueduct is run by the
Washington area office of the
United States Corps of En-

the area office water supply
division, said that the request
for more chlorine is being made

these bacteria are harmful. "

A total of 95l tons of
chlorine was placed in the raw

chlorine is only one step taken
to purify the water before it is

District motor vehicle control
officials want to clamp down
tighter on some 5000 prob
lem drivers" who are accident
prone or are otherwise not
qualified to drive.
In budget requests for the
fiscal year starting next July,
the Department, of Motor We
hicleS noted that the problem
has been increasing over the
last few years.
There is definite need for
particularly careful qualifica-
tions evaluations in the
cases of certain types of indi-
viduals who might be clsssed
as potentially dangerous driv-
ers," the report said.
1,5OO Are Health Gases
Of the 5000 such cases which
each year should have special
attention, the report added,
some 1900 are health cases
involving physical or mental
diSabilitieS-in which profess
sional medical opinion may be
needed before a decision can be
made whether to allow the per-
son q drivers license.
The health of an individual
is getting more recognition as
an extremely important facet
of driver control and one
which is receiving more and
more attention since epilepsy,
diabetes. heart conditions and
other health problems are
proving to play a noticeable
part in the traffic accident
picture" the report stated.
Accident Reduction
This department believes
as do many of the States and
ether organizations experienced
in the field-that CAREFUL eX-
animation of these poten-
TALLY dangerous drivers will be
an important forward step in
the progressive reduction of
traffic accidents"
A request was made for two
more positions in the driver
Improvement division of the
department at a cost of $12,-
648. The additional personnel
would also aid in permit revo-
cation control.
The report also noted that
the number of routine permit
examinations has jumped to
227,279 during the last
fiscal year compared to 1872, 1888
given during fiscal 1859.

queSted by the Motor Vehicles

to permit the schools program
to be continued in accordance
with its 1862 level and scope"
The difference in fund needs,
Officials continued, can be cred
tied in large measure to a con-
tinuing rise in the cost of
services, including teacher and
other employe salaries.
The 1853 increase of $9.4
million in the capital outlay
request also reflects a continu-
ing rise in the cost of school
construction and classroom
equipment. as we'll as the con-
tinuing need generally. particu-
larly in the face of increasing
enrollments, to provide more
and more new schools.
Since the school construction
program is operated on a run
ming, five or six-year basis,
congressional cuts in capital
outlay sometimes leave the
board with a site for a school
but no funds to construct the
building.
Capital Outlay Items
Most of the S9.4 million for
1868 capital outlay would
cover:
! Construction of three new

BY JOHN ROSSON
Star Staff Writer

The District School Board to-
day requested a 1868 budget
totaling record STA million,
the first time in school history
the combination capital outlay
and operating expenses figure
has topped the $40 million
mark.
The $77,437,3 1926 total ex-
ceeds the 1862 request now
being debated on Capitol Hill
by a whopping S14 million
S9.4 million of it for capital
outlay school construction
and $4.6 million for operating
expenses.
The record request, not yet
reviewed by the District Budget
Office which undoubtedly will
trim it, compares with some
S63.3 million being asked of
Congress for 1862, and is S18.8
million more than the S58.6
million the legislators approved
for 1861.
For Citizen Debate
Ironically. the 1863 figure
thus become public before
Congress reaches a decision on
the schools 1862 request. Us
ually the new proposals are not
announced before approval is
given the current requests, but
Congress is late in acting on
the city's 1862 programs, and
District officials-preSsed by
citizen group - released the
1868 figures so they can be de-
bated at numerous citizen
meetings.
The STA million asked by
the schools provides $59.049,32
for operating expenses and
S13,3S8,000 for construction
and equipping of new build
ings plus the purchase of new
school sites.
BY comparison, the 1862 re-
quest, now being haShed over
by Congress, totals $54,371 500
for school operating expenses
and $8,988, 900 for construction.
Included are the amounts ap-
proved by the House plus re-
quested restorationS bein g
asked of the Senate.

THE FINAL STEP

H INA STEP
WHEN THE United States broke off diplomatic rela-
tons with Cuba, the Western Hemisphere was plunged into
its gloomest position in many a year. The break immediate
~ created two serious SituationS-one for the United States,
and the other for Cuba. And there the toss-up- remains as to
which of the twois in the more delicate position.
FEAR HAD ZEN expressed in many quarters that
such a day would come. DR.. Castro had been pushing hard
for just such a situation, and the United States, it is felt by
many, accommodated him just as he wanted it. Bent on en-
barrassng the United States, and at the same time winning
sympathy for himself at home and abroad, Castro kept up his
attacks and ~villi6cation of the United States to the point
where the President felt he could take it no longer.
IT IS ATHER clear that Fidel Castro o~verplayed his
hand. Spurred on BY the Communist nations, Castro felt he
could thumb his nose at the United States, and create embar-
RAISING situations which would make him a hero in Latin
America. With such inroads into this hemisphere, and with
Castro doing the leading, perhaps he could find himself in the
position where Russia and Communist China would be mo-
rally obligated to him. This may be conjecture, but it is
nevertheless logical
CUB MAY SUFFER severely by this break, even
though that is not the reason for it. Much Of the economy Of
Cuba is based upon that of the United States. We buy their
sugar. Scores Of American companies spend millions and
millions Of dollars a yearin Cuba, and at the time when Cas-
to seized his last US. property, the estimated value Of such
property was over a billion dollars.
THE CUBAN people are used to American consumer
goods-radio, televsion, textiles, automobiles, machines, oil,
and much, much more, These, of course, will be seriously
curtailed because neither Russia nor Communist China can.
provide these in the quantities, or at the prices Of American
manufacturers. The transportation alone, half way around the
world, will tend to limit, or place added burdens upon trade.
CASTRO HAS bought tanks and other war equipment
from Iron Curtain countries, and during the last parade in
Cuba, these were displayed with much pride. Yet neither the
tanks nor the other war equipment viii help Cubas econo-
my, not only because there is really no use for them, but be-
