ETC., and an entire new elec-
trical system because much
had been torn out when the
USO took it over and the
rest was out of date. What's
more, there was virtually no
orchestra pit and to provide
one large enough would pre-
sent quite a structural prob
lem. Also the proscenium was
not large enough for opera,
symphonies, musicals or bal
let. In short, they found that
the Belasco was function
ally almost worthless for any,
thing except for small legiti-
mate plays" said Mr.. Satter-
lee.
In addition, the Treasury
annex now blocks one side so
that the egresS no longer
meets city requirements.
Since the theater is only
66 years old and thus has no
historical value. it would
seem to me that this thor
ough survey would have
settled once and for all the
recurring, nagging question
of the Belasco Theater.

WuIton-Keorns Controversy
Produces New Evidence

Bill Walton, President and
Mrs. Kennedy's artistic ad-
visor, is still under fire
from Republican Representa-
tive Carroll Kearns of Penn
sylvania.
Last week Mr.. KearnS, one
of Washington's biggest cul-
ture boosters, likened Artist
Walton to a pharoah "of an
earlier and unenlightened pc
Rod"
Now he says that MIR.
Walton would have us believe
that no one is interested in
the Belasco Theater." But,
cracks the Congressman, mo
painter could be really ex-
pected to be an expert on
opera houses"
Mr.. KearnS recalls that the
Citizens Committee to Save
Lafayette Square. formed
last year. and the Washington
Opera Society we're intensely
interested in Belasco Theater.
IN HIS SPEECH IN THE
HOUSE last week. entitled
First 100 days in the Arts"
(the first 100 days referring
to the Kennedy administra-
tom, he also reported that
"A German language publi-
cation, the Washington
D.CD, journal. reported on
May S. this year. that steps
were under consideration to
restore the Belasco Theater
as the Beethoven Opera
House, the cost to "be borne
by the German Government"
This writer called the Ger
man Embassy to investigate
this restoration possibility
and was told by a spokesman
that "a representative of the
German Foreign Office had
expressed very qualified and
non-c committal interest in the
project to Mr.. Kearns." And,
he added, There is no reason
to think that anything is
being planned at this stage"
AS for the aforementioned
interest in saving the Belasco
for an opera house, Mr..
Kearns is not aware perhaps
that Save Lafayette Square"
Committee Chairman Carl
Levin some time ago asked
Architect Nicholas. Satterlee
to look at the theater and
see what could be done about
it.
The latter went down there
with a structural engineer, q
mechanical engineer and an
electrical engineer and also
the technical director of the
opera society, Jim Waring.
Together the five made a
thorough study from top to
bottom, inside and out, in

tiles. And only the last
measured up.

involuntarily commit uncooper-
ative tuberculosis patients. We
have also drafted Resolution, to
replace the one passed by the Nav
ajo Tribal Council during the year
1o45, which will better serve the
intent of this vital program. 1t is
my hope that you will find time du-
ring this session of the Council to
consider this Resolution.
Our staff has been working very
closely with MIR. John Y. BegaYe
and his assistants to develop pro-
grams to utilize efficiently the
funds appropriated by the Tribe to
purchase prosthetic appliances for
Navajo patients.
The Public Health Service has
reallocated funds so that we will be
able to authorize the purchase of
prosthetic appliances for all pat
tents referred to the Craig Reha-
bilitation Center. This will release
Tribal funds to be used for pros
thetic appliances for Navajos
treated in Reservation hospitals.
AS a demonstration project, we
have authorized medical doctor,
an eye specialist in Durango. to ex-
anime all the students enrolled in
the BIA Aztec Dormitory for eye
disease and eyeglass require
ments. The Tribe will authorize
only the purcha Sc of the eyeglasses
at wholesale prices. The Branch of
Education, BIA, is cooperating by
furnishing transportation and at
tendant services in "a king these
school children to the Doctors Of
flee in Durango.
Because of the large number of
children with dental disease, the
Public Health Service has estab-
Hshed policy requiring our den-
fists to concentrate on services for
children. This has resulted in linn
tied services for adults and in a
long delay in providing dentures,
false teeth, as well as poor utili-
zation of Tribal funds for purchase
of false teeth. Our Area Dental Of
ficer has met with MIR. Begaye and
has suggested ways and means of
providing services to adult Nava-
jos. These plans require further
study but we sincerely hope that
way can be found to speed up the
dental services for adults.
This concludes my report. If
there are any questions, | will be
glad to try and answer them. Thank
you.

Lakes is expected to start next
Spring, after the weather i'm

A total of 432 shallow wells and

Only two projects ain to be
completed. To date, from Fiscal
Year 1862 Tribally appropriated

proved and 73 projects have been
completed. Work on "a twas started
but stopped due to bad weather.
A total of 40 home water stor-
age units DIETER known as the wa
ter barrel program have been sold
and installed in homes, primarily
in the Winslow and Kayenta areas.
Our sanitation branch plans to start
distribution of units in all areas of
the Reservation early in December.
Progress in the water barrel pro-
gram in the Winslow and Kayenta
areas has been very slow due to
lack of money by people in these
areas to purchase them. The people
are interested and want the home
water storage units but they have
had difficulties in financing them.
Other items that might be of in
terest to you include the Crippled
Children'S cOntractual treatment
program, the tuberculosis control
program, and the cooperative
prosthetic appliance program. We
have been and will continue to con-
centrate on these contractual prog
rams, to see that the Navajo pat
tents receive the best possible SER
vices, and that as many people as
possible receive these services.

tails without completing treatment

Health and the Advisory Commit

no means of getting these people

have not been successful in re-
cruiting replacements. We have
also experienced a shortage of nur-
sing personnel in this hospital.
The other three Indian hospitals
located at Crownpoint, Winslow and
Fort Defiance are operating nor
mally. A new addition is being COM
pleted at the hospital at Fort De-
fiance. This new construction will
provide larger outpatient Depart
ment, providing more patient ex-
amining rooms, larger offices for
medical records, and new eye, ear,
nose and throat and pediatrics cin-
les. The pharmacy and x-ray SER
vices will be enlarged.
The three large health centers
located at Kayenta, Chinle and To-
hatchi are operating normally, with
the exception of Chinle. The two
physicians at this station are find
ing it very difficult to take care of
all the medical needs of patients
because of the great workload. 1t
is possible that Public Health Ser
vice will recommend that new
hospital be built at Chinle. We es-
innate that hospital at this lOca-
don will serve Navajo population
of approximately 10000. When the
Branch of Roads of Navajo Agency
completes its road building prog
ram, there will be network of
paved roads which will have juno
tions at or near Chinle. The COM
pletion of these roads will
strengthen our recommendations.
Indian Sanitation Facilities pro-
jects under PL 86-121 are prog
ressing satisfactorily. More de-
tailed reports will be made to you
by Tribal officials who are respon-
sible for this program in cooper
alton with our sanitary engineers.
The big event connected with the
Sanitary Facilities Program oc-
Cured in October 10, 1861, when
an agreement was finally reached
between the Tribe and the Public
Health Service to construct water
and sewer systems for Indian
homes at Fort Defiance. Ceremon-
les were held in the Chairman's
office and pictures were taken of
MIR. Paul Jones signing the agree
ment. MIR. Landbloom, General SUI
perintendent; MIR. AL Platz, Chief
Sanitary Engineer, and were also
present to witness the signing GER
emonies. According to DR.. Shaw,
the signing of this agree ment
marked the largest project under
this program undertaken by any In
dian Tribe and the Public Health
Service. 1t also marked the first
time for the Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs to release large water and
sewer system to the Public Health
Service so that ownership could
be transferred to the Tribe.

not be affected by this request. The
Secretary of the Department Of
Health, Education and Welfare has
decided that it will not be necessary
to reduce money appropriated to
operate Indian hospitals and other
health programs. In spite of the fact
that Federal money will not be re-
duced for Indian Health programs
this year, we still need more funds
to provide additional services of
physicians, dentists and nurses
throughout the Reservation. We
need additional money to fully staff
practically every one of our six
hospitals. We also need additional
money to staff additional physic-
ians, dentists, nurses, and sani-
tarians to operate a field health
program that will reach every
community on the Reservation.
During the period July 1, 1860
to July i, 1861, we provided hos
pital care for almost 12% more
general patients than we did during
the period July J., 1859 to July 1,
1860. These general patients con-
sisted of patients who were hos
pitalized for surgery, pediatrics,
obstetrical, and medical service
requirements. According to our
monthly records, in July 1861 we
hospitalized approximately 15%
more general patients than we did
in July 1860. The trend for August
1861 showed a similar increase
over that of August 1860. These in
crea ses are exclusive of the num-
Der of patients hospitalized in the
new Gallup hospital.
The number of patients that we
hospitalized in our own Indian hos
pitals for tuberculosis treatment
was reduced about 4796, due to the
fact that we closed the tuberculosis
sanatorium at Fort Defiance and
moved most OF these patients to
contract hospitals. After many
meetings with Public Health Ser
vice and Tribal officials, it was de-
cided tha the old frame and OUT
moded sanatorium building should
be abandoned for the interest and
safety of tuberculosis patients.
On October q, 1861, the Gallup
hospital made all of its 200 beds
available. Today, this hospital has
3O8 of its 800 positions filled and
can now provide almost anytype of
medical care required by ur In
dian patients. Although the average
daily load of inpatients as yet has
not been very high. we have had
peak load of so in one day, and
there is continual increa Sc in the
number of outpaients being seen.
This new, modern hospital has at
tracted national and international
attention, and many distinguished
visitors within this country, as well
as me die al people from foreign
countries, have visited and inspect
ed this facility. All these visitors
have been generous in their priase
of the hospital
In recent months at Tuba City
we have had to crowd additional
beds into the hospital in order to
take in patients beyond the capacity
of the building. Recent daily peak
loads have reached 90 patients. If
this trend continues, we will have
to consider the construction of an
additional wing to the hospital.
We have had to curtail our pa
tient care services slightly at Ship
rock due to the fact that only four
physicians are now assigned to that
hospital Recently two physicians
terminated their services and we
