on this is that the Indians interests
will be best served if they are in
cluded along with their non-lndian
neighbors in broad areaWide pro-
gram rather than being treated as
separate entities or enclaveS COM
peting for specialized or tailor

is a principle which also applies
with equal force in connection with
many other public programs aimed
at benefiting wide segments Of the
population.
The question of jurisdiction on
Indian lands is one that seems TO be
troubling a great many Indians at
the present time. 1t is, as most of
you doubtless know, an enormously
complex subject and shall not even
attempt here to explore its many
intricate ramifications and convol-
utionS. But | would Like to COM

which is, | believe, adding fuel TO
the flames and having an actually
harmful effect on the long-range
best interests of the lndianpeople.
This is the tendency of some tribes
to move toward separate nations

to what is right and good for the
country, but these moves are

working to the distinct disa dvan-

And these disagreements MAXWELL

ties of human narure--to rash and
Incorporate statements on one side
or the other and an atmosphere of
mounting bitterness that makes
effective communication between
the two groups almost an i'm
possibility. Whatever the causes,
it is obviously extremely difficult
for the Bureau to deal in an or
derby way with tribal group that
is divided into two or more SEEM
ingly irreconcilable factions. Our
policy is that we should never I'M

forcefully in such disputes. We do.
however, frequently attempt to play
the role of an honest broker" and
help the conflicting groups to find
a common ground for agreement
without taking sides" in the con-
troversy itself.
And now let me turn to a more
localized discussion of the Indian
situation as we find it among the
Five Civilized Tribes of eastern
Oklahoma. Toward the beginning of
this talk | indicated that the In
dian situation in this area is in
many respects unique and different
from what we find in other parts
OF the country. And | sometimes
feel that few of US fully realize
how profound and important these
differences actually are.
During the first eight or ten
years of the present century,
around the time WIN n Oklahoma
was being admitted TO Statehood
we had a series of laws enacted by
Congress that established the pat
tern of Federal administration
which has prevailed in the Five
Tribes area ever since. You ali
know the main provisions as we'll
as | do--abolition Of reservations
such, the shearing off of>per-
sons with less than one-haG In
dian blood from special relations
with the Federal Government, the
probating of Indian estates in State
courts, the transformation of tri-
bal governments into something
like caretaking organizations for
the disposition of the remaining
tribal assets, and all the rest. In
basic purpose these were termin-
alton laws long before House Con-
current Resolution Number 1O6
was ever dreamed of and the evi-
dence Of their effectiveness can be
found in the large number Of ma
tive OklahonanS of Indian ances-
try who today have no special ties
whatever with the Federal Govern
ment.

breakdown of communication with
the Indians on this subject and that
the tempo of our thinking and plan
ming about termination in the bur-
eau must be adjusted once again
to the Indians gradual and volun-
tary assumption of increa sing res
possibilities. Here, too, it comes
down to a process of patiently
''grinding out" results.
Another matter of concern to
Indians, of course, is our policy
on eligibility for Bureau services.
For so many years that it has be-
come almost traditional, the poll
CIV has been to tie eligibility for
services primarily TO residence
on trust or restricted land. That
is still the policy today and | per-
sonally believe there are good and
compelling reasons why it should
be continued. First of all, it needs
to be borne in mind that there are
no restrictions on the person OF
the individual Indian because of his
relationship with the Federal Gov
ernment; the restrictions apply
solely to the use and disposition
of his property. Furthermore, In
dams are fUll-fledged citizens OF
the States wherein they reside and
thus entitled to the same services
from the State Governments as all
other citizens Bureau services,
therefore, are not intended TO par
allel those from States and local
sources but rather to serve as a
substitute in those areas where
the State ana local services are
not available 70 Indians. To change
the policy and base the eligibility
for Bureau services Onrace rather
than reSidenCe--dS Some have Sug-
gested--Would encourage an eco
nomic and political aeparateness
that would, in nay judgement, in
eVitably get in the way OF Indian
progress. If Indians were TO be-
come the benefiClarieS OF special
Federal services merely because
they possess a certain degree OF
indian biood--and for no orher
reaSon--it would certainly become
difficult TO contend win straight
face that they should also share all
rights and privileges in common
with other citizens.
a-rribal or intr a-group
cleavages among the Indians are,
of course, not an entirely new
development; III fact, feel GER
tain that our forebearS were having
such squabbles long before the
arrival Of Columbus. In recent
years, however, these disputes
have become increasingly wide
spread and, III some cases, have
reached serious proportions. Per-
hapS the most common kind Of an
intra tribal rift is that which de
velOpS between the Indian people
living on reservation and the
enrolled tribal members residing
in other localities. Understandable bly,
enough, these TWO groups Or fac

Monkeys Soaked in Zoo Transfer
BY JERRY O'LEARY JR.
Star Staff Writer

A reluctant group Of Capu-
chin monkeys today was landed
on an island at the Washington
Zoo to spend the summer sur
rounded by hostile flock of
pelicans, geese, ducks and
assorted waterfowl.
The seven ring-tailed Capu-
chins-So named because they
seem to wear tonSureS like
members of the monastic order
of the same name-were taken
to the 20-by -20-foot island in
a boat and then the trouble
started.
After Keeper Burt Barker
had padded e homemade alu-
minum craft to the island, the
first two monkeys out of the
box took flying leaps into the
water.
This surprised Headkeeper
Ralph Norris because Capu-
chins are tree dwelling crea-
lures from South America and
are believed to be on-swim-
merS.
Bites Rescuer
One monkey ran out of nerve
after a few seconds Of attempt
ing something that resembled
an Australian crawl and woS
rescued from the six-foot-deep
water by Mr.. Barker. The little
fellow promptly bit Mr.. Barker
on the little finger.
The other pioneer monk
dived into the water on the
other side of the island and
swan strongly toward a squad
ron of pelicans, geese and
ducks, all of whom set up an
unearthly screeching to register
their protest.
This monkey made it to the
far shore and took off toward
the far end of the enclosure,
pursued by Associate Director
j. Lear Grimmer and a task
force of net-waving keepers.
After both monkeys were
recovered, a plank was laid
across the water to the island
and the pair was hand-carried
over and hand-placed in one
Of the trees. One monkey made
a beeline for the wooden house
with southern exposure that
had been placed in the tree.
The other sat disconsolately on
a branch and let the sun dry
his wet fur.
The other five monkeys,
viewing the whole thing with
alarm, elected to stay inside
their box even though the
door was wide open.
Mr.. Norris finally got them
out of the box and into the
trees with a combination of
coaxing sounds, peanuts and by
fitting the box so they had to
vacate.
Head for Trees
AS each monkey came out of
the box. he or she headed for
the trees and eventually into
the house constructed for the
group by the zoo-men.
One militant Canada goose
remained on guard beside a
clutch of eggs and refused to
vacate the island as the other
birds had done when the in
vaSion began.
There was only one more ad-
venture left. After the last mon
key was out of the box and the
last human had left the island,
one Capuchin gingerly slipped
into the water and tried a swim
for freedom. He was quickly
neted and returned to the trees.
Zoo officials figure that their
will be no more escapes. Once
a tree-dwelling monkey has
gotten wet. they calculate, he
will never try it again.
The monkeys will remain on
the island for summer.

This comes to mind as a
result of an elaborate gag
related to us this week by a
Government official engaged
in dealing with contractors
who supply Uncle Sam with
products used in military
aviation.
1t seems two contractors
from Scarsdale, N. Y, came
to Washington to see him
about the possibility of max
ing some parachuteS for the
Government. They conferred
at length and it became i'm
portant for the contractors
to borrow a prototype para
chute to take back to New
York with them for testing.
On the way to National
Airport, one of the New
Workers asked the other
whether he was going to
carry the parachute or check
it through as baggage.
The one with the para
chute, a wag with what might
be described as a macabre
sense of humor, replied:
Neither. I'm going to
wear it,"
"I'll bet you a dinner you
won't" said his friend.

with the parachute.

AS SOON AS the cab got
to National Airport, the man
with the sense of humor put
down his brief case and
buckled on the parachute,
tightening the straps in a
practiced manner but doubt
less wrinkling his Brooks
Brothers suit considerably.
Thus equipped and with
the parachute humping
rhythmically against the
seat of his pants. the man
walked into the airport con-
course and marched cere-
moniously up to the ticket
counter of the airline.
AS usual, there was a group
of air travellers waiting to be
processed for their trip.
The two New Workers got in
line and waited their turn,
seemingly obliviouS to the
wide-eyed stares the para
chute was attracting.
From time to time as they
waited, the man without a
parachute would importune
his companion to take a
train if he was that worried
about riding in an airplane.

all within hearing and no.

Then it came time for the
New Workers to buy tickets

clerk.

in a firm voice, I'm going to

f'But, but, you can't do

there was pathos in his voice.
