We got quite a chuckle when
We picked up q daily paper and
read in a headlined story that
Senator Metcalf had inquired Of
the Atomic Energy Commission
as 10 Just what this proposed
atomic waste burial program on
the reservation was all about and
what dangers were involved He
was informed that they knew
little about Ii as il was being
proposed and experimental by
an independent corporation.
We chuckled. because after
reading a somewhat self-imposed
expert opinion in form of warn
ing which was released by the
senator last month, We stated
in this column that he was talk
ing for publicity more than facts
because neither he nor the gov
eminent agencies knew any more
about the program than we did.
We also suggested that he con-
tact the PRO who is proposing
the program. who could prob
ably give him the information
he desired. Evidently he did not
do this and as a consequence he
is still failing the air for lack
of information. but determined
10 impress his constituents as an
expert on the subject.
To this end we would suggest
that he get a copy of the pamph-
let entitled Management of
Radioactive Wastes" published
by the Atomic Energy Commits
sion and which was reprinted
from the annual report to Con-
gress for 1859 of the U. S. Atom
ic Energy Commission We
have one. and do you know where
Il came from? The office of
Senator Lee MetcaIfi
II might be a good idea If our
Representatives would write to
their own office now and then
FOR information on the subjects
they are discussing giving out
information on They could
have quite a library for them

We have always maintained
that the life Of a politician Is not
an easy one. II they give advice.
they are usually told they are
wrong. IL they fail to give adj
vire. they are dubbed as an ex-
pert on nothing. II they refer you
to another source. they are too
dumb 10 know the answers. Well.
anyway you care 10 look at IL
They asked for IT,
III you see some good house
wife putting the storm windows
on. you can assume that her
husband has gone hunting or is
too busy getting ready to 60.
If you can't find Joe at his place
of business, you can rightfully
assume the same thing. II you
notice Oswald listing a little 10
port when he walks down the
street, or he doesn't return your
smile. he has most likely been
brooding. in his own way, be
cause he couldn't take time off
