SoeiGl Ssevrity Office
at Window Rock Soon


The Prescott office of the So
cial Security Office of the Govern
ment will open an office soon at
Window Rock for the convenience
of the Navajo people that need as
sistance with their Social Security.
The following report applies to re-
sidents of Navajo County, and soon
will apply to Navajo residents of
the 3 counties the Navajo Reser-
vation lies in.
BY the end of 1860 more than
1863 people in Navajo County were
receiving old-age, survivors and
disability insurance benefits. The
total benefits paid to these people
for December 1860 wa S $76, 135. 90,
according to Miles Davis, manager
of the Prescott social security dis
trict office. "ThiS is an increase
in the number of people receiving
benefits by about 10 percent over
the same month last year," he
said.
The 1863 figure includes 531
retired workers, "a dis bled
workers, 178 wives or husbands,
8O4 childrens', $50 mothers and
parents, and 76 widows or wi
dowers'.
Nationally, almost IS million
people were receiving about a
billion dollars a month in old
age, survivors and disability in
suranCe benefits at the close of
1860. Many of these people were
made eligible for benefits by the
changes in the law made in 1861
such as the reduction in the amount
of work required to qualify for be-
nefitS and the removal of the age
50 requirement for disability ben
efitS.
Payments to retired worker
with no dependents ceiving bene-
fits averaged 5000 in December
1860: to a retired couple, both re-
ceiving benefits, the average pay
ments was $124. OOThe averagefor
an aged widow was about $500
1860 was the 10th year that So
cial security benefits we're pay
able, and the 18th anniversary of
the Social Security Act, which be-
came law in 1885. Changes in the
law since 1885 have brought more
than 9 out of every 10 people in the
United States protection by old-age
survivors and disability insur-
ance--protection paid for by taxes
on employees, their employers,
and the self-employed. Earnings
will be reported to the social Sc
curity accounts of more than rs
million workers during 1861.
Navajo County people partici-
pate and share in this program
along with the rest of the United
States. For the entire state of
Arizona. old-age, survivors and
disability payments at the end of
December 1860, '1ere being paid
to 85,731 persons at the rate of
$5,437, $40. 90 per month. Benefits
totaling $64. COS, 10000 were paid
in Arizona during 1860.

Udall FGvoTs Removine
Limit on lndiun LOunS


Secretary of the Interior, Ste
wart L. Udall announced his sup
port today of legislation that would
make it possible to revive and
strengthen the program of Federal
loans to Indian tribes to help fl
nance job-creating enterprises and
greater development of human and
natural resources on Indian reSer-
VationS.
The Secretary's position was
set forth in favorable report on
S. 154O, bill that would remove
the present $40 million legal lin
it on appropriations for the re-
volving loan fund OF the Bureau of
Indian Affairs.
Removal of the Limitation"
Secretary Udall said, 'would be
most desirable. 1t wouldpermit the
Department to present and the Con-
gress to con der appropriation
requests for the revolving loan
fund not in terms of an arbitrary
dollar limit but on the basis of the
actual justifiable needs that the
Indians have for financing which
they cannot obtainfro other sour
ceS. We believe there are many
opportunities for greater economic
development and resources devel-
opment on Indian reservations that
are being held in abeyance today
for lack of adequate financing"
The repayment record of In
dams on loans from the revolving
fund. Secretary Udall added, has
been excellent. AS of last June 30,
a total of $34,478,86O had been
loaned from the fund. Of the $685.
619,o73 due through that date, over
SO percent had been paid, only 2. IS
percent was delinquent, about three
quarters of one percent had been
cancelled and approximately half of
one percent had been extended.
The revolving loan fund, author
lied in 1884, is used chiefly for
lending to Indian tribal groups
unable to obtain the financing they
need fr m customary Sourc S
principally because of the trust
Status of their land and the lack
of adequate bankable security.
Loans are made to the tribal groups
for financing tribal enterpris ses and
cooperative enterprises, to encour-
age indus stry and for relending 60
individual members.
Many types of tribal enterprises
have been financed from the re-
volWng fund over the years since
1884. They include farming and
livestock enterprises, recreation
al developments such as motels,
land acqui sition and management
enterprises, arts and crafts de-
velopments, salmon cameries and
fishing enterprises, and Eskimo
trading posts in Alaska.
In addition to the loans re-
ceived from the revolving fund, In
dian tribes also use funds of their
own for financing enterprises and
relending to individual members.
On June 80, 1860, the tribes we're
using nearly $24 million of their
own funds for these purposes in
comparison with $1O,572,318 in
loans receivable on that date from
the revolving credit fund.

Tribal Delegation to Washington

A delegation from the Navajo
Tribe left Window Rock WedneS-
day morning for trip to Wash
ington to discuss three very i'm
portant matters with the various
departments of the Government
concerned. Those making the trip
included, Honorable Paul Jones,
Chairman of the Navajo Tribal
Council: ]. Maurice McCabe, Exc
cutive Secretary of the Navajo
Tribe: Ned Hatathli, Director of the
Resource Department of the Navajo
Tribe: Walter Wolf of the Legal De-
partment; Richard Brennan of the
Tribal Legal Department: Vance
Vanderhof of the Tribal Utility De-
partment, and Howard Mckinley,
Councilman from the Fort Defiance
area.
According to Mr.. Jones, the
purpose of the trip is three fold,
with the three most important
items on the agenda the following.
1. Confer with Secretary of the
Interior Stewart H. Udall, to see if
an agreement can be reached re-
garding the Glen Canyon power dis
tribution, and also to work out an
agreement for the North and South
Division preference users of the
power produced by the Glen Can
yon project. Also, it is sincerely
hoped that an agreement can be
worked out so that a right of way
could be assured the Navajo Tribe
and the individual Navajo on the
route.
2. Conference with Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Kelly as
sistant for mineral Resources, and
with the United States Geological
Survey to work out boundaries for
the Aneth Unit of the greater Aneth
Field. After the boundaries have
been worked out, the secondaryre-
covery operation for oil operations
can commence at the Unit. McElmo
Greek lands as we'll as White Mesa
Unit will also be a topic of discus
sion.
3. Confer with United States
Public Health Service at the Wa Sh-
ington level with regard to work.
able agreement for use of Public
Law 86-121 funds available for
construction of sanitationfaCil ilities
in Indian communities. More par
ticularly the Navajo Tribe is in
tereSted in sanitation facilities in
the Fort Defiance Arizona Com
munity. Mr.. Jones stated, "The
United States Public Health Ser
vice is primarily interested in the
health and welfare of the Fort De-
fiance community and is pressing
for an early agreement for the
commencing of construction of
water and sewage disposal system
for that community. The Ma 10
Tribe supports the United States
Public Health Service in that OBJ
jective, however there are other
users in the community such as
the Missions, business establish
ments, the schools, BIA installa-
tions and USPHS facilities which
must be considered if the Navajo
Tribe is to own and operate the uti-
lities in the Fort Defiance COM
munity."
