Chief Justice
Charles EUGnS Hughes.
Each weekday morning, 20 to
40 lawyers show up at Munich
Ipal Court to seek assignments
to represent defendants who
have no other counsel.
Most of these attorneys give
their best to each case they are
assigned, without regard to
whether they receive a fee.
A few do not.
The defendant who walks in
to court from the cell block
has no idea which type he will
tget. The treatment given ac-
cused persons by the few less
Irresponsible lawyers has con-
cerned judges and bar leaders
for years.
In one case, it is reliably re-
lp0rted, q defendant was told
he could not obtain a jury trial,
a basic right, without paying
his appointed lawyer a fee.
Guilty Pleas Advised
In other cases, lawyers have
been accused of urging a man
to plead guilty-avoiding a
trial-when it appeared there
was no fee to be had.
Some lawyers, informed
sources said, have even gone to
q mans home and sold his
clothes or cooking utensils to
obtain their fee.
To insure that penniless de-
PENDANTS, as well as one with
money, are effectively repre-
sented, several plans have been
tried, at least two with some
success.
The Legal Aid Agency
created by Congress last year
and most active in District
Court, in March expanded its
operations to include Municipal
Court.
Using money left over in It's
initial $4,000 appropriation
when started work late in the
fiscal year, the agency hired
five lawyers on a temporary
basis and assigned them to Mu-
nicipal Court.
The activities of these agency
lawyers has been highly praised
by judges there. But the staff
at Municipal Court is being GU
to one man this week because
this years appropriation ha'
expired.
More Money Asked
Agency Director Charles B
Murray has asked Congress tx
increase the agency's proposed
budget for next year from tht
$4,000 given the agency thi'
year to $3.50, 400. With the addet
money, he could provide NOR
manpower at the court.
Congress has yet to act OF
the request.
A second plan to provide freI
legal counsel for indigents il
the courts has been operates
this year by Georgetown Uni
versity under an anonymou
grant of $4,000.
The program, headed by Di
rector A. Kenneth Pye, this yea
included nine graduate law stu
dents, all members of the baI
who handled INDECENT cases a
a major part of their work TO
a masters degree.
These young attorneys, it /
generally agreed, provided al
unusual type of legal stimula
ton to both judges, and othe
lawyers.
With vigor and dedication
they tried new technique!
dredged up little-remembere,
laws and handled with success
cases that other lawyers Nigh
have given UP.
Donation Cut
A prime example is the wor
of intern Robert E. L. Richard
son, who convinced a DistriC
Court Judge that it was illega
for indigents to spend certai
extra time in Jail merely be
cause of inability to pay fine

A tremendous job of restoring
Montana deer ranges to full food
production faces the fish and
game department according to
reports just compiled by district
game managers. About the re-
ports, Fletcher E. Newly, state
big game manager, said, poor
deer ranges are more the rule
than the exception"
The elk forage picture is some
what brighter, he added. Only by
tailoring herds to fit available
forage supplies can depleted
ranges be recovered for produc-
ton of maximum future hunting.
Deer harvests even larger than
the 100000 plus harvests of the
last six years will be needed to
achieve the full potential of these
ranges.
Range conditions in the "a deer
management units classified in
the reports were rated as poor
to very poor in three-fourths of
the units. Nearly one-third were
in the very poor class. "Only 25
per cent rated the fair to good
class with a meager 2 per cent in
the good category. Not a single
deer management unit was rated
as excellent" Newly stated.
The trend toward improvement
or deterioration was equally dis,
couraging because more ranges
or 81 per cent, fell into the de-
clining class than into the i'm.
proving class which had Is per
cent. 1T appears that manage,
ment is holding the line in the
So per cent which rated stable, "
Newly said. Progress made to
date was possible only through
the support of interested and in.
formed sportsmen and other co.
operators. This support must be
intensified to finish the job.
About 20 per cent of the "a elk
management units clasSed in the
fair to good class but as with
deer no elk units rated the ex-
cellent classification. Some 80
per cent of the elk range units
showed an improving trend as
against only II per cent with the
downward rating. Management
is maintaining at least a stable
condition in 81 per cent of the
units.
The mild, open winter to date
has minimized current range use

From The SideIines
by Tiff Mckay

Here are some of the questions
I have received about the oil
and gas lease dispute / have writ
ten about a couple of times in
this column:
Question: What is the present
status of this dispute?
Answer: To the best of my
knowledge. the Tribal Council
is awaiting a formal agreement
TO be presented TO them by the
oil operators which would settle
the matter for the Sl04,OO men,
toned in past negotiations.
Question: Is this dispute con,
nected with the proposed water,
flood program in the South Cut
Bank field?
Answer: This dispute is not
now, and never has been, con,
nected directly with this water.
flood program. The tribe could
agree to 60 ahead with the water.
flood program without settling
this dispute.
Question: II this dispute is set,
tied, is there any guarantee the
water-flood program will 60
ahead?
Answer: Absolutely none. The
oil operators can call off the
water flood program at any time
prior to its actual beginning. In
fact, there is a good chance they
will do just that, in my opinion.
I see two reasons for this. First,
on November %, 1860 the Wash.
ington, DC. office of the United
States Geological Survey depart,
ment refused to approve certain
notifications which would re-.
duce the royalty under several
tribal leases from 17lz per cent
10 12Iz per cent. The USGS gave
as its reason its belief that a
pilot flood should first be con.
Quoted on a small acreage of land
and the results of this pilot flood
evaluated before any royalty due
the tribe was reduced. This may
cause a stalemate between the
Government and the Phillips Pc.
troleum Co. (who propose to op,
crate the water-flood program.)
The other reason / see for a
possible abandonment of the
water-flood program is the pres.
ent state of the oil market in
this country and, in fact, through
out the world. There is just too
much oil for the present demand,
so why produce more oil when
you can't even sell what you
have on hand? II just doesn't add
up.
Question: Getting back to the
proposed S104, 900 settlement OF
the oil dispute, suppose the Tri
bal Council insists upon taking
this amount of money for the
oil removed from tribal land
without permission. Is there any
thing the members of the tribe
can do to prevent the council
from going ahead with the set
element?
Answer: OF course there is
Members of the tribe can sign a
petition TO have any motion OF
resolution of the council placed
before the voters at a referen
dunn election. The results of such
an election are binding upon the
council
