BIA Appointees
Made By Udall

WASHINGTON - Secretary Of
the Interior Stewart L. Udall an
nounced today appointment of w.
w. Keller, Bartlesville,. Okla, as
a consultant on planning policy
and reorganization of functions Of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
One major problem, Udall said
is getting more brain power and
man power in Indian areas rath-
er than in Washington. He said
that may mean "some decentral-
ization."
Keller, former chief of the Cher
okee Indian tribe and vice presi-
dent of Phillips Petroleum Co.,
was offered the position of COM
missioner of Indian affairs, Udall
said, but did not feel he could
take it.
The secretary said that with as
sistance from Sens Robert S. Kerr
and A. S. Mike Monroney, Okla
homa Democrats, he obtained Ke-
eler on loan from Phillips for a
80 day period without compensa-
ton beginning Feb. S.
Meanwhile, he said, an Oklaho-
man who is a career employe in
the Indian office here has the in
side track for appointment as act
ing Indian commissioner. Udall did
not disclose the name of the Okla
homan.
Keller, he said, will head a
task force, working with people
in the Indian office ito hammer
out policy guidelines.
II intend to lean heavily on
Keeler," the secretary said, at a
breakfast given for him by Kerr
and attended by Monroney and
Oklahoma newsmen. +

Parks Commission
Opens Conference

WINDOW ROCK - The Navajo
Tribal Parks Commission opened
its three-day conference at Win
dow Rock today, with sessions
continuing through Thursday.
The conference is being attend
ed by the entire staff Of the Ma
vaio tribal rangers and represen-
tatives of the Utah Fish & Game
department, Price, Utah; Arizona
Department of Fish & Wildlife,
Globe, Ariz; New Mexico Game
& Fish department. Santa Te, and
the U. S. Fish & Wildlfe Service,
Department of the Interior, Albu-
querque.
The Commission pointed out that
because the Navajo reservation
extends into three states, the laws
and regulations pertaining to hunt
ing and fishing are complex and
often confusing. In order to ade-
quately enforce the laws, the
Rangers are expected to know the
state laws of Arizona, Utah and
New Mexico, besides those of the
federal government and the Nava-

A member of the Navajo Tribal
council, Mrs. Annie w. Wauneka,
in a statement issued Saturday
took exception to the stand of
John Romero, resigned chairman
of the Mckinley county Democrat
ic central committee who public
ally opposed j. Maurice McCabe
as a candidate for Commissioner
of Indian Affairs.
McCabe is executive secretary
of the Navajo Tribe and regarded
as a leading candidate for the
commissioner post.
Mrs. Wauneka, in her statement
said ''the rising Indignation which
I and other responsible Navajos
feel as a result of the distorted
and unworthy public expressions
of John Romero in his attacks
upon j. Maurice McCabe can not
be restrained"
Mrs. Wauneka's statements in
part:
Il have just returned frim
Washington where, as Chairman
of the Navajo Health Committee,
l was engaged, with the U. S.
Public Health Service, in advanc-
ing their plans for improving the
sanitation facilities on the Navajo
Reservation as is authorized in
Public Law 86-121. We Navajos are
deeply appreciative of the intelli-
gent efforts now being made to
improve out lot and to make avail
able to us something approximate
ing the minimum standards, at
least, of health, sanitary facilities
and other public conveniences
which have been enjoyed by our

non-Indian neighbors for genera
tions. The sanitation program is
only one of many now under ac-
tive prosecution by the Navajo
Tribe and its real non-Indian
friends.
"Mr. McCabe, as Executive Sec
retary of the Tribe. has been
very instrumental in executing and
directing this and other programs
of the Chairman and of the Tribal
Council including many private
projects now underway, designed
to afford job opportunities to our
people and to provide a measure
of economic stability for those No
vajoS who will follow us.
"The measure of elation, which
is felt when we reckon our ac-
complishments in these fields,
quickly turns to contempt and bit
terness, upon hearing from people
like Romero representing them
selves to be enlightened political
leaders of their communicated
TRADES of invective, and mislead-
ing attacks upon one of our young
er people who has risen to great
prominence and who, at the NOM
ent, is the leading candidate for
the office of Commissioner of In
dian Affairs.
"Since the Romero attack upon
Mr.. McCabe is entirely gratuitious
as well as baseless, we can but
wonder what interests in Gallup
and Mckinley County he seeks to
serve.

and complete coverage which your

Jones Challenges
Voting ContestOr

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz - Paul
Jones, chairman of the Navajo
Tribal Council, said those support
ing the election contest suit of Joe
A. Montoya should come forth and
be counted.
Jones daid Montoya and his
lawyers and his financial back
ers are chartering airplanes to
serve more papers on Tom Bo-
lack in Pennington and using big
words, legal phrases and "the in
fluence of high place Democrats
in Washington to get what they
want"
Jones did not name the high
placed Democrats to whom he re-
ferred.
He said it is time that those
supporting Or financing Montoya's
action stand up to be counted.

minded by Richard C. Haberstroh,
director of the migration and nat
uralization service, to do so before
January 81.
Blanks may be filled out at inn
migration service offices or local
post offices.
Haberstroh pointed out that the
law requires all non-citizens, ex-
cept persons in diplomatic status,
foreign representatives to certain
international organizations such as
the United Nations, and aliens
here temporarily as agricultural
contract laborers, to report their
addresses to the government each
January.
''The parent or legal guardian
of an alien child under IA years
of age must fill out the address
report form for such children in
order to comply with the law" he
said.
''We have tried to make it as
convenient as possible for nom
citizens to meet the address report
requirements and, in view of SER
quirements and, in view of SER
iOus penalties for willful violation,
all persons subject to the address
report law are urged to fulfill this
obligation before the end of Janu-
ary," he explained.
Haberstroh said it is easy for
an alien to meet this requirement
by going to the nearest immigra-
ton service office or postoffice and
filling out the address report form
and returning it to the clerk.
Non-citizens who are ill may
send friend or relative to obtain
the card for him and return it to
the clerk after it has been COM
pleted by the alien.

The conference is expected to
further acquaint the Rangers with
conservation practices, manage
ment and transplanting of game
animals; jurisdiction of the or
ganization on and off the reserva-
tion, and jurisdiction in cases in
volving violations by Indians and
nOn-IndianS.
During the last three years the
Rangers have been active in re-
stocking the streams and lakes
with trout, bass, beaver and the
mountains with pheasant, quail,
turkey and deer.
The current program calls for
a total of $50 deer to be trans
planted from the Los Alamos At
omic Energy Commission reserva-
tion to the mountains between To-
hatchi and Shiprock. To date,
more than 100 have been trapped
and then freed on the reservation.

KGAK has given the Tribes ac.
tivities in the past and because
newspaper people and broadcast
ers are generally well informed
on influences in the community,
we turn to you for evaluatiOn of
our position and the probable con-
sequences of RomerO's unwarrant.
ed attacks upon one of our re-
sponsible officers.
1.-THE people of the Navajo Tribe
have not forgotten and in my Op.
inion will not forget the activi-
ties of Mr.. Romero, his henchnlen
or the town Board Trustees and
others in opposing the Church .
Rock-Two Wells Land Transfer
Bill. Furthermore, Navajos are not
unmindful of the rank discrimin-
alton continually practiced against
them in the town of Gallup.
''Mr. Romero must, and certain.
ly the members of the Board Of
Trustees of Gallup will remember
that at the time of the recon-
sideration by the Board of its ac-
ton on the Church R0ck-TwO
Wells Bill that the Tribe gave very
serious and earnest consideration
to the wisdom of diverting the
Tribal business elsewhere. It was
only because of the intercessiOn
O responsible Gallup businessmen
that this plan was not then exc.
cuted.
81 am reliably informed that the
Tribe as an entity spends in excess
of five million dollars annually in
the Town of Gallup. The Tribe
carries very substantial balances
in the banks of Gallup.
Individual members of the Tribe
spend enormous sums in that COM
munity each year. The aggregate
of these expenditures exceeds one
third of the gross revenues of all
of the businessmen and merchants
in that community.
"Are we to be convinced, against
our will and desire, that we are
not welcome and appreciated there
! and that one of our principal ex-
ecutive officers is to be continu.
ously, publicly and wrongfully.
maligned by people purportirg to
speak for the community.
II should be the last to deny
to Mr.. Romero his unquestioned
right to support the person OF his
choice for any public office and
likewise to oppose those who, for
reasons which must readily sug-
gest themselves to you, do not
command his support. But l de-
plore Mr.. Romero's opposition to
a member of the Tribe. for no
other substantial reason than that
he is an Indian. Opposition should
be handled with great deal more
finesse than Mr.. Romero seems
to have.

pose to submit for their consider.

2. Would the answer be the
same if the abandonment were
on a local option basis follow
ing a vote of the electorate au-
thorizing county school authori-
ties to close public schools?
The action is in connection
with a National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People suit attacking the con-
stitutionality OF a 1861 Louis
lana law which permits local
option referendumS on whether
voters want closed or integrated
schools. The law allows school
boards to take such action.
Suit Filed by NAACP
The NAACP suit was filed on
behalf of a group Of Negroes
in tiny St. Helena Parish
County, which voted over
whelmingly last Saturday to
close its schools.
Before the election, the parish
school board promished the
Federal Court it would take no
action pending the decision in
the suit.
The tribunal, which also in
cludes United States District
Judges j. Sicily Wright and
Herbert w. Christenberry, gave
no explanation for ordering the
poll of attorneys general. They
did not indicate how the an
swers would affect their de-
ciSion.

the NAACP suit raised "seriors

ney General Jack Gremillion

WASHINGTON - The training

Congressman Charles {. Diggs,
Jr. He said that not having Ne
gro girls as airline hostesses up
to now has been 'inexcusable"
discrimination.
Mr.. Diggs has made a com
plant to Vice President Lyndon
b. Johnson, who is chairman OF

Equal Opportunities, and asked
for an investigation.
The Johnson committees job
is to see that employers who do
business for the Government
offer work to all.
Practically all airlines," says,
Rep. Diggs, have contracts with
the Government to carry mail.
With the exception of one
or two of the feeder lines, Ne
gro women have been prohibited
from serving as airline hostesses.'
