Red Mans Day in Court
The Indian Claims Commission

i The Indian Claims Commission was
created IS years ago to afford the
Indian tribes of America at long last
an expeditions prosecution of their
ancient claims against the Government
Now it appears that this worthy goal
is being thwarted by the inability of
most tribes to pay the historians,
anthropologists, land-appraisers and
other expert witnesses whose testimony
is essential to support their cases.
Except for those few instances
where tribes have adequate resources,
attorneys handle such cases on con-
tingent-fee basis, relying on success
full award for their payment For the
most part, the attorneys have advanced
the costs and expenses of the necessary
consultant services. But now, according
to the Indian Claims Commission, "the
burden has proven to be too heavy for
the Indian attorneys to carry. Immedi-
ate relief is needed if the adjudication
of all eligible Indian claims is to be
completed as planned, or at ALL"
Nor is this a problem of small
dimensions. More than 400 claims now
are pending before the commission,
most of them seeking adequate COM
pensation, after many years of neglect,
for Indian land which was seized by
the Government, often for pittance,
and at times for nothing at all. OF
these 400 cases, the Claims Commission
estimates, "a large majority" involve
tribes which are too insolvent to hire
expert witnesses and consultants. AS a
result, trials in number of cases
recently, some of them scheduled for as
long as a year, have had to be post
poned.
The commission has refused to
sanction contingencies arrangements
in any form for the consultants, on the
valid ground that the testimony of
expert witnesses must be free from any
faint of financial interest in the out
come of the litigation. Such arrange
ments, as the commission said in
recent opinion, are fair neither to the
parties to the suit nor to the experts
themselves. Nor, on much the same
basis, would it be desirable for the
commission to use it's own investigative
powers in behalf of the Indian claims.
In the same opinion, however, the
commission proposed a simple and
workable solution: That Congress, in its
annual appropriations for Indian
affairs, advance or lend funds to enable
Indian tribes in need to hire and pro-
perly compensate "such expert witnesses
as they reasonably need to prosecute
their claims" Where claims are success
full, these advances could be deducted
from awards. Where unsuccessful, if the
loan should not be repaid the relatively
small amounts involved would not be
too great a price to guarantee the
Indians their day in court. This is a
suggestion to which the appropriate
committees Of Congress should give
immediate and careful consideration.

A BOOK FOR TODAY
BY DONALD MINTZ
Primevo| North America Re-exp|ored

fering as completely as the
1ndo = European and the
Semitic languages"
Most Americans have some
familiarity with the lives and
customs of a few of the great
Indian nations that once
roamed the continent, the
Sioux and the tribes of the
1roquois League, for example.
MIR. Bakeless has devoted
some space to lesser known
groups, and it is q rare
reader who will not be i'm
pressed by the civilization
Cor near-civilization) of the
Greek Confederacy of what is
now Georgia.
There are gems of fascinat-
ing information throughout
the book, many of them con-
corning vanished phenomena.
For many years, the Red
River harbored the Red River
Raft, IAN extraordinary tan
gle Of old logs, trees, silt,
leaves, and green vegetation,
which permanently blocked
the river for at least thirty
and perhaps a hundred miles.
Underneath this crazy
mass of logs, sod, and
branches gurgled the slug
gish river. Above the Raft,
enough soil had settled so
that full-sized trees grew on
it, and one could pass from
bank to bank without diff
ficulty."
THE WAR DEPARTMENT
surveyed this strange object
in 1924. BY 1888 a channel
had been cleared but it
shortly closed again. It was
not until 1880 that the, Raft
was finally conquered.
One can open THE Eyes
of Discovery" at random with
the certainty Of finding
something remarkable, per-
haps beautiful, perhaps hor-
rible. But beauty predomi-
mates, for Mr.. Bakeless is
obviously one who loves the
wilderness despite all the ter
rors it may hold.
Industrial society and pri-
meval wonders are not ma
tural good neighbors. Yet it
is impossible to become hard
ened to the utter ruthless
ness with which the con-
tinent was despoiled and the
curious psychology of ar
rogant technology that con-
siders land on which man
has built as improved" by
definition. Mr.. Bakeless does
not discuss these matters, di-
rectly, but his story in
evitably suggests them.
THE Eyes of Discovery"
originally appeared in 1850.
The new edition is unchanged
except for the addition of 80
new illustrations. 1t is good
to have the book in a sturdy,
low-priced edition.

This country's understand
able emotional hinge over the
orbital flight of John Glenn,
jr., has done this whole coun-
try good.
There had been a long
twilight Of gloom for free
men here and everywhere as
they saw the massively ad-
vertised earlier successes OF
the Russians-while knowing
nothing of carefully hidden
Russian failures. 1t is right
that rejoicing should follow
alarm and concern.
It is now the morning after,
however. Now, all the jubi-
lation should be succeeded
by more sober and workaday
concerns. The very first Of
these concerns should be a
careful national planning to
take space experimentation
out of the emotional cate
CORY of a football game or a
foot race. The public re-
quires education in the basic
fact that this is an immense
ly serious and adult business
in which there is only one
real possibility that we shall
close"
There is nothing whatever
to suggest that the Russians
are, or ever have been, ca
pable Of outdoing us in the
truly useful aspects of the
new art. There never was
anything so to prove-not
even when the Russians were
putting up big vehicles
around the earth while we
were Stlll putting up none.
Fundamentals First
For in this. as in every
other high public policy, the
heart of the matter is the
selection of alternatives, the
choice of one priority over
another. Our priority has
been to do first a sound, slow
job in fundamentals, all the
fundamentals. The Soviet
Unions priority has been to
put its all, at whatever cost
to later genuine progress, in
to getting up there first.
We are trying to conquer
space in order to conquer
space. The Russians are try.
ing to use space in order tt
conquer other things-includ.
ing the will and determine.

North America as Seen by
the First Explorers. BY

Manhattan Island itself
was 'indented with bays,
covers, and creeks Much of
it was very good woodland
not very thick with trees,
however, for grass grew in
the woods and also in &C.
casional little valleys. There
were many brooks of fresh
water running through it,
pleasant and proper for man
and beast to drink, as well
as agreeable to behold, af-
fording cool and pleasant
resting places Wild
flowers we're so fragrant that
Jasper Danckaerts tells how,
walking down Manhattan Is
land, he and a companion
sometimes encountered such
a sweet smell in the air that
we stood still, because we did
not know what it was we
were meeting"
John Bakeless' purpose in
1.-THE Eyes of Discovery" is
to describe the physical ap-
pearance of primeval North
America, its flora and fauna.
He has delved into the writ.
ings of early explorers from
Verrazano 1524) to Lewis
and Clark (1804-05) to find
out how the North American
continent looked and smelled
before the coming of the
white man. His story is based
on and seasoned with liberal
quotations from these sources.
The book Is organized &C
cording to large geographical
areas, treated in approx
mately the order in which
they were discovered. Within
each area, chronology is re-
spected. Mr.. Bakeless is not
much concerned with who
was first to go where. And
first or not, an explorer is
interesting only so long as
he used his eyes, ears and
nose and wrote down what
his senses recorded.
1.-THE Eyes of Discovery"
then, is not another book
about exploration as such,
but a kind of historical
travelogue in which the OBJ
served is much and the OBJ
server relatively little.
THE PRIMEvAL WOODS
that covered virtually all of
the East up to the great
plains were quite different
from most of those left to-
day. These forests were
so dark under their canopy
of leaves, further shaded by
the grapevines which ran up
the trunks to spread out their
foliage in the sunlight above,
that there was little under
brush. The forest floor was
too dark. Only small, shade
loving wild flowers would
grow there"
Those were the forests of
western Pennsylvania, and
they had another charac-
teristic that seems strange
today. 1.-THE songbirds which
fit in and out of modern
woodlands did not live in
these dark woods, which Of
fered no food for the seed
eating birds and little enough
for the insectivorous birds"
Of course there were hu-
man inhabitants, all racially
closely related. Yet, Amer

families, not nearly so closely
related as, let us say, Eng

On Policing Speeches

In an age as per1lOuS as this, the
Government of the United States can
i'll afford to address the world with con-
flicting voices emanating from places of
authority. That is why efforts have been
made for years past-in the White
House, the State Department. the
that important official speeches do not
seem to war with each other, or raise
the hobgoblin of serious inconsistency,
on matters of high policy.
Perhaps the best explanation of
these efforts has just been presented by
UnderSecretary of State George Ball to
the Senate Armed Services Committee
Investigating charges that prominent
American officials particularly military
leaders-have been subjected to muz-
cling in the form of deletions and
alterations made in the text of their
public addresses on the menace of COM
munism. This muzzling, according to its
critics, has amounted to unjustifiable
censorship and reflects the "no-win"
policy allegedly being pursued by the
Kennedy administration in dealing with
the threat of Red subversion and agrees
sion.
Such criticism has been met head-on
by Mr.. Ball in his statement to the
committee. Observing that the conduct
of foreign affairs today lis an intricate,
subtle, changing and always uncertain
task" he has reminded everybody that
when outstanding American officials
deliver significant speeches, they are
listened to by four different audiences
our home front, the allied world, the
"neutralist" nations and the Com
munists behind the Iron Curtain. Ac-
cordingly, because of the effect that
these addresses can have on foreign
lands, both friendly and unfriendly, the
State Department has the responsibility
of reviewing them lest they inadvertent-
ly run counter to basic policy, complicate
delicate negotiations or enable the
propagandists of Moscow and Peiping
to tear sentences out of context and
distort them to spread the "pernicious
myth" that our country is run by
clique of bloodthirsty warmongers.
OF course, there undoubtedly have
which the reviewing process has resulted
in deletions and alterations that have
amounted to foolish censorship. Even So,
Mr.. Ball has made out persuasive case
for what the State Department. in con-
cert with other Federal agencies, has
long been trying to do to prevent serious
overseas misunderstanding as regards
American policy - misunderstanding
often based on an extravaganza sentence
here or there in some speech lending
itself to poisonous Red misrepresenta-
ton.
Clearly, as Mr.. Ball has argued, the
review program thus is needed to
protect the best interests of the United
States. Certainly, despite the mistakes
that have marred it, it is program that
makes sense, and it cannot reasonably
be cited as evidence that our country
is following it obviously is not
"a "no-win" policy in the cold war.

Bomb Bomb-Bonners

in an effort to dissuade the
United States from future
testing Of nuclear devices.
Even more recently, students
from some 40 States demon
strated in the same manner
as the ladies and with the
same apparent objective in
mind.
Although the expressed goal
of these groups is supposed
to be world peace, one Oft
times wonders why the
pickets concentrate their
most fervent efforts mainly
in the vicinity of the White
House. For some unknown
reason, the number of dem
onstrators in the general
area of the Russian Embassy
is considerably less. Is this to
say that the U. S., more than
anyone, should lay down its
arms? Or, is it because the
picketers are received more
cordially and served coffee
by the White House staff?
Are these student picketers
the ones who rather openly
state that they would rather
be red than dead?" Or, are
they the same persons who
participated in the San Fran
cisco riots several years ago?
Could it be that these do
coolers" are what j. Edgar
Hoover in his book Masters
of Deceit" calls dupes?
Why did Mrs. Nina Khru-
shchev make a radio appeal
to the American women to
do what they could to throw
our weapons in the ocean?
1t is interesting that such a
speech occurred Immediately
after the last student dem
onstrationS at the White
House. 1t is strange how all
these appeals to us to lay
down our arms occur almost
simultaneously and just be-
fore a possible summit meet
ing.
Ideally, this sounds fine,
Carrying it one step further,
perhaps we should have our
law enforcement agencies lay
down their arms and disband

Fortunately for America and
the peace Of the world, the
heroic performance of Col
Glenn came just in time to
thoroughly offset any wrong
impressions which may have
been given to the Communist
world powers by the asinine
antics Of the "ban-the-bom
pacifists recently, which were
followed so soon thereafter
by the appeal of Mrs. Khru-
shchev for Americans to lay
down their arms and play
dead.
Woe betide America if the
screwball minority in this
Nation, some of whom nc
doubt are raft-dodgers, ever
become a majority! The idea
which their befuddled minds
seem unable to asSimilate Is
that the only reason we are
at peace today is because the
Communist nations know ou1
armed forces are full Of
dedicated fighting men of the
Col. Glenn type, willing to lay
their lives on the line fol

Contrast these brave mer
with the pacifists who have
even gone so far as to pass
out literature urging people
not to work in defense in
duStries and to refuse to pay
taxes that are spent or
national defense. Is not that
treason? Robert A. Mullen
