Pilot
In Treetop

PICAYUNE, Miss, Jan. 3
(AP).-The pilot of a flaming
U-2 high-altitude jet recon-
Nuisance plane parachuted to
safety last night-into the top
of a tall cypress tree in a
Snake-i infested swamp. He was
rescused today more than 10
hours later.
Military searchers located the
wreackage of the plane after
plucking the pilot from his un-
comfortable perch. The craft
was q modified version of the
secret nuclear-debris Sampling
plane which was the center of
a world incident when downed
in Russia two years ago.
AF Capt. Charles P. STRAIT
ton, 80, bailed out of his flam-
ing craft about $50 pm.
(CSTO last night. He hung by
his parachute from a limb 80
feet above swamp waters for
more than 10 hours.
A Coast Guard helicopter
spotted him about l am. Res
cuers moved in by boat and
reached Capt. Stratton a little
after 7 am.
1T felt like that tree limb
was cutting me in two," Capt.
Stratton told his rescuers.
They said he was in good
condition. He later went by
plane to Keesler Air Force Base
at Biloxi, Miss.
1t was not Immediately
known what caused the crash.
NeWSmen were told to make no
attempt to interview Capt.
Stratton when he arrived in
Picayune.
The high-altitude U-2 was
similar but not identical to the
one downed over Russian with
civilian Francis Gary Powers
in May. 1860. Mr.. Powers was
convicted of espionage and is
still in a Russian prison.
Capt. Stratton and Mr.. Pow
erS, a former Air Force officer
are friends. They met while
assigned to the same squadron
at Turner Air Force Base in
Albany, Ga, before Mr.. Pow
ers' fateful flight.

French and AIgerions
In Search for Accord

PARIS, Jan. 3 (AP) French
and Algerian rebel negotiators
are seeking agreement on a
cease fire and a transitory
period leading to full independ-
ence. highly placed French
sources said today.
So far, the sources said,
there is no assurance that an
early agreement will be reached
in the talks, which have been
going on secretly for several
weeks.
The informants, in a posi-
ton to know the desires OF
President Charles de Gaullt,
said the main points now being
discussed are:
"A cease fire, without which,
in the French view. there can
be no further progress on a
settlement.

COMPENSATION

''Mr. Speaker, | assume the
purpose of this article to be cute
and to make interesting reading
for those who know nothing about
Indians and the Indian problem. |
suppose it may be interesting read
ing and quite light and trifling
for a young man whose father is a
Observation-Disclosures and who
has never wanted for anything, for
young man whose brother has
become President of the United
States and has appointed him to
one of the most important Cabinet
spots in America. To him it is
funny. To him it is humorous to
even think that someone who FORM
erly owned property, who formerly
owned territory, who formerly
owned these regions, and who
were driven out by force, should
now have the audaciry 70 ask COM
pensation from this great Federal
Government. To him it probably
humorous to imagine that the great
grandfather of the Sioux Indian
people VINO lived in the State of
South Dakota, for example, and
who made firm and binding con-
tract with the Federal Government,
believing that their contract and
their treaty was as good as the
gold behind it, only to find that
neither the contract nor the treaty
are worth the paper they were
written on, and Bobbie's job is to
get the courts to agree with this
treaty breaking" philosophy of
the Department of Justice.
These are the things the young
Attorney General tells the people
of America were such surprise
to him. Why should the Indian
people lay claim in damages for
their lands 2''

Navajo Band-Dancers
Featured at BYU Meet

Modern and ancient customs
were combined when the National
Indian Youth Conference convened
at Brigham Young University April
1928. The traditional pow-woW
was replaced byparlimentary pro-
cedure as the young Indians debated
the problems of their tribes in
space-age society. When the talks
were over, big war dance COM
petition recalled the days of their
fathers.
The Sixth Annual meeting was
co-sponsored by BYU and the Tribe
of Many Feathers. bringing togeth-
er high school students, college
students, young professionals and
tribal leaders from across the
nation. Panels, assemblies end
small discussion groups on euu-
cational, political, social. economic
and spiritual goals of the Indian
we're conducted. J. Maurice Nc
Cabe, Executive Secretary of the
Navajo Tribe, was keynote speaker
at the First General Session on
Thursday morning.
The 6O-piece Navajo Tribal band
also played an important part in
the festivities, leading the hour
long parade in Provo on the final
day of sessions, and presenting
concert at Smith Fieldhouse prior
to the war dance competition. The
band has played in New Mexico,
California, Texas, Arizona, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Colorado II d
Oregon. They are scheduled for
appearances at the Seattle Worlds
Fair and the 1868 Rose Bowl
Parade in Pasadena. They present
a striking picture in their colorful
costumes, complete with superb
examples of Navajo handicraft in
their turquoise and silver jewelry.
During the final night of the
conference, more than 100 dancers
from the Great Planes and South
west competed for the National
Collegiate War Dance Champion
ship. Some of the nations top
Indian dancers took part. including

Dance. performed by all the Pueblo
Tribes. This is biamual event
at most Indian pueblos along the
Rio Grande Valley and is sup
plication to the Great Spirit for a
plentiful harvest.
The Jemez tribe from the South
west performed the Buffalo Dance
in honor of the shaggy beast which
was the source of meat, robes,
shelter, footwear and tools for the
Indian. The story of the hunt is told
by the chants for this dance.

BOATLOADS OF GOLD?

"Mr. Speaker. if the American
Indian were located on any island
in the world, or in any country in
the world, other than within the
United States, this same Federal
Government would be flocking to
that shore with boat loads of money
trying to force them to take the
cash and to use our gold and our
currency to build up their economy

people live within our borders.

ditions, and who are even less

PRICE ASKED

In the Article he says:
"Another determination neces-
sary in the Indian claims may be
the most difficult of all. How much
was the land in a specific area
worth at the time it was acquired
by the white man2
This, MIR. Speaker, is one of
the most unfair questions that can
be asked. Mr.. Speaker, the price
of land is or should be determined
by what a willing seller is willing
to accept from a willing buyer.
In not one single instance, MIR.
Speaker, has there been the case
of a willing seller and willing
buyer. In every claim before the
Indian Claims Commi ssion the
Indians we're not willing sellers,
they were forced to sell, they were
forced to move, they we're forced
to flee at the point of gun. Neither
was the Federal Army nor the white
settlers willing buyer. Theytook
the land at the point of gun. Yet
the young Attorney General writes
a voluminous article, telling about
the numbers of attorneys he has
working in the Archives, digging
through old files, attempting to
arrive at a fair market price for
this land, at the time it was taken.
You can be sure, Mr.. Speaker,
the Federal Government has no
one digging through the Archives
attempting to represent the Indian
people in trying to determine what

believe anyone who has any knoWl-
edge of Indians and the Indian
problems of America will agree
with me that one of the most
disgusting articles to appear in
print inrecent years is one appear
ing in the March issue of Life
magazine over the authorship of
Robert F. Kennedy, the Attorney
General of the United States, en-
titled "BuYng 1t Back From the
Indians" " This young man, brother
Of the President, who has been
travelling all over the world, telling
peoples of other nations what they
must do and how they must get
their own house in order, tells the
world in rhis article how surprised
he was TO find that the Unite d
States must still pay for lands and
property taken by force from the
Indians, for which settlement has
never been made by the Govern
ment.
The whole article, Mir. Speaker,
is written with a view of making
light of Indian claims against the
Federal Government. 1t was really
quite humorous to young Bobby to
find that there have been some
$40 claims filed before the Indian
Claims Commits ssion. 1t seems
strange TO me for him to set forth
the fact that in is years only 33
of these claims have been fini ished,
that 10 others are on appeal to the
us. Court of Claims, and that
some 76 are nearing completion
and about 200 in various stages of
trial.
Mr. Speaker. the reason these
claims have not been settled is,
because, IS young Bobby indicates,
the Federal Government has gone
to every extreme in attempting to
prove that the Indians are wrong,
that the white man owes no money
for the lands and property that
he has taken from the Indians, that
the Federal Government is not
under obligation to keep its treat
les with the Indian people. "

For Indian Article

Reproduced below is speech recorded in the April
proceedings of the 87th Congress, Congressional
Record, whchwas made by Congressman E. Y. Berry,
Republican of South Dakota. it, he takes violent
issue with Attorney General obert F. Kennedy for
statements in article by Kennedy entitled Buying
Backfrom the Indians, which appeared in the March
23 issue of Life magazine. Congressman Berry is a
member of the House Committee on Interior and In
suar Affairs, longtime Congressman and practicing
lawyer, former newspaper editor and publisher.

: Although the article deals with
Indian Claims in general a Navajo
: Iribal claim case was specifically
referred to by Kennedy asfolloWs:
~"In another instance, the gov
ernment was skeptical of a claim
that the Navajos had occupied an
area for many years. The Navajos
into evidence a ridge
pole from an old hogan. They
Gontended that ii the ridge pole
was compared with another piece
= os wood from the same grove but
cut only recently, the difference in
ages would be indie ated blythe rings
and it could thus show how long
4a 20 the ridge pole was cut"
Kennedy further stated, "It was
80, good try, but Attorney William
K. Lundin of the Indian Claims
: Section introduced evidence to show
the growth rings are not neces-
sarily annual and that different
sections of single tree some
times show different numbers of
rings.
: Tribal attorneys state inrebut-
tai of Kennedy's statement that the
Tribes dendochronology evi-
dence was based on one of the
oldest and most. commonly used
methods of archaeological examin-
alton to determine age of struc-
lures. This method is in common
. use by the federal government in
such cases..
The governments alleged de-
yelopment "was based on a SING
l<E experiment conducted by an
dendochronologist who for short
time was an employee OF the Uni
versity of Arizona. He made the
. study using a controlled growth
system resorting to freezing and
measured limb growth to deter
mine the age of the tree.
BY contrast Tribal archeolo-
gist stated that the Tribe collected
3,6Q specim ems of which an
estimated 4O% yielded dates for
the claim case. This is very high
percentage for yielding dates.
THE government presented
their case on the ba sis of evidence
Of the only person known who has
used this new system, while the
tree ring specimans used by the
Tribe we're from trunks of trees.
. This is the commonly accepted
system of the University of Ari-
zona's Dendrochronology Labora-
rory which previously has been
used by the government technic-
ians."
A serious question ispresented
IS to whether the Attorney General
!. has violated legal ethic inprinting
information pertaining to case
in which he is counsel and which
is undetermined.
The following is the speech of
Congressman Ely. Berry, in rebut-
tai to Attorney General Kennedy's
article on "Buying 1t Back From
