A Riverdale man was criti-

he fell while stunting on his
motorcycle, Maryland State
police reported.
Ershell Ray Michael, "a, of
6201 New York place, Riverdale,
suffered a fractured skull,
broken thigh and multiple cuts
and bruises in the accident
about 1920 am. on Baltimore
avenue at Riverdale road.
Police said he was standing
up on the seat Of the motorcycle
when he slipped and fell to the
pavement as the motorcycle
continued on with his brother
on the rear seat.
The brother, Donald F.
Michael, q, of 4704 Rittenhouse

motorcycle came to a halt after
overturning, police said.
Donald, however, received
only cuts and bruises and was
released after treatment at
Prince Georges General Hospi-
tai, police said.
The older brother was ad-

Jungle cats win remain two
until, at last, they go off to

calls the great majority"
DR.. Reed then heard that
the San Antonio CTex.) Zoo
was in a diametrically oppo-
site fix. It had two jungle
cats, and both were females.
The San Antonio director
saw the wisdom Of it and the
deal was completed last week.
The lady jungle cat from
Texas is now living in a cage
next to her new mate and it
is hoped that there will be kit
tens both here and in San An
tonic within the year.
In the same deal with San
Antonio, DR.. Reed also ac-
quired a tassel cared Albert
squirrel in exchange for what
amounts to a draft choice,
The black-pelted squirrel is
native to one part of Grand
Canyon, Ariz.. and occurs no.

A Zoo director can't make
trades as easily as a football
coach does: Along with every
thing else, he has to take ro-
nance into account.
If George Marshall's Red
skins have too many speedy
backs (this is the pureSt ex-
ample of hypothesisl they can
just make a swap. They don't
worry about the love life of
the swapee.
But when DR.. Theodore
Reed, director of the National
Geological Park, contemplates
a trade, he usually has to do
some rapid computations on
the number of kits, cubs. pups,
cygnets or calves that the Zoo
may eventually gain as a re-
suit.
Thus it was recently when
DR.. Reed found himself with
two male jungle cats. These
cats, almost never found in
jungles, it seems, are not des-
perately rare in India, Burma

How fast is the current at
Jones Point?
How fast will sewage flow
to the sea? How quickly would
radioactive materials introduced
into the Potomac near Wash
ington flow down to the Bay?
A gray ship called the Mar
mer is being fitted outat Munic-
ipal Pier S to find answers to
those questions. A. week from
today, the 100-foot ship will
move out to drop buoys to pri-
vide data on the speed and
direction of the Potomac River
current at nine points from
here to Dahlgren, Va.
BuOys Made Ready
Recently reactivated by the
United States Coast and Geo.
detic Survey, the Mariner is
new to her crew of about Is
Survey sailers. They will be
busy this week preparing for
the Potomac study, which will
take three weeks.
Large buoyS were placed
aboard the ship last week.
Crewmen will install FM radio
broadcasting equipment in the
four buoys this week, paint the
buoys orange and install two
red lights and a radar reflector
on each.
The reflectors are strips of
metal notched and bent to re-
fleet radar from oncoming
ships and thus warn them to
steer away from the buoys.
Next Monday, a buoy will be
placed at South Capitol street
bridge, at Hains Point and at
Jones Point. From each will
dangle q weighted line With up
to three small devices with big
fins on one end and a special
propeller called an impeller.
The big fins keep the device
lined up with the current. The
impeller is turned by the cur
rent-fast when the current is
fast and slow when the current
is slow.
There's also a compass in
each device.
The data on current direc-
ton and speed is radioed back
to the Mariner, where the in
formation is recorded on tape.
The Mariner takes the data
for two minutes every half
hour for 100 hours straight.
Then she will pull up the
anchored buoys and move them
to spots near Quaritice.

had a mouth operation and
added, II don't articulate well.

Alvey smiled wanly and

She read the complaint from

THAT is correct" Alvey re-
piled.
Valves Hearing
He was asked If he wished to
waive a hearing and be trans
ported to Maryland. He said
he did. Alvey also said he did
not desire counsel at the hear
ing. Assistant United States
Attorney House explained the
prisoners rights to him several
times and told him he did not
have to make a statement at
this time. He said he had
nothing to say.
Judge Dyer also explained
Alvey'S rights to him and
signed the removal order after
Alvey had affirmed that no one
had threatened him or made
him any promises since his
arrest.
Immediately after the hear

The
Rambler
=. Learns About
Indian Mortality
By GEORGE KENNEDY

DR.. James r. Shaw, chief
of the Division of Indian
Health in the Department of
Health, Education and We'll
fare, will be presented the
Gorgas Medal at 9 am. to-
morrow in the ballroom of
the Mayflower Hotel.
The Gorgas Medal is
named for Maj. Gen. william
c. Gorgas, who made the
construction of the Panama
Canal possible by controlling
malaria in the Canal Zone.
1t is awarded annually by
the Association of Military
Surgeons for distinguished :
work in preventive medicine
in the Federal medical Serv-
ices-Army, Navy, Air Force
and United States Public
Health Service.
This is a ell-deServed re-
ward, for DR.. Shaw, a tall,
handsome, graying man of
53, and his organization have
succeeded in eight short
years in lowering the number
of Indian deaths each year
we'll below Indian births.
They had been going on
about even steven.
He is far from satisfied.
The number of Indian deaths
from preventable disease is
still tragic. And, of course,
death cannot be conquered.
While a larger proportion of
Indians are dying from old
age than ever before, that
figure is topped by deaths
from accidents.
In a short visit in DR..
Shaw's office, the Rambler
obtained a better picture of
Indian population than he
ever had before.
When the colonistS arrived
in Virginia and Massachu-
sets early in the 18th cen
tury, there were about 8OO,-
900 Indians in the continen-
tai United States.
Evening star., 1961-11-06

AT FIRST the white man
did not feel so superior to the
Indian. The marriage of John
Rolfe to Pocohantas was an
honored one. The Congrega-
tionalists in New England,
the Jesuits in Maryland and
the Anglicans in Virginia
endeayored, with some sue
cess, to convert them to
Christianity.
The colonies and later the
United States made treaties
with the Indian tribes as
sovereign nations.
Then something happened,
The white man decided he
was superior. What hap
pened?
1--WE given that a lot of
thought" said DR.. Shaw. II
think it was when we got the
upper hand. The Indian had
a measure of respect as long
as he was a threat to the
white mans existence. Once
that was over, the white man
began to push the Indians
around"
The pushing around" was
pretty rough. A good Indian
was a dead Indian. BY the
end of the Civil War the In
dian population was down to
25O,00O. Today, there are
about 380,000.'
Much of the decline Of
population was due to con-
filming Indians to areas where
they could not get enough
food.
Only 20 years ago Navajos
were starving on their great
reservation in the desert,
$4,000 square miles in four
States.
Now the Navajos are lucky.
They have never allowed in
dividual ownership. Fee sim
pie is the best way for an
Indian to lose his land. The
tribe owns the vast area and
oil and uranium have been
found on it, giving the tribe
an income to improve its
herds of cattle and to buy
necessary food.
But the lack of water
makes sanitation difficult,
DR.. Shaw said. "a Navajo, on
the average, has about half
as much water a day as we
use to flush a toilet-about
three gallons. And it was
probably contaminated at
the source, a pond where
cattle drink"
