Chairman Observes
Signing OF Bill

Paul Jones', Chairman of the
Navajo Tribal Council. told Presi-
dent Kennedy "I'm gonna have lot
of news to tell my people--that |
saw you and you signed that bill".
"That bill" referred to was the
San Juan-Chama project, signe d
into law Wednesday, June 10, by
the President and called by Jones
1.-THE salvation of my hungry peo-
pie"
Jones also sWore to the PreSi-
dent that 1--WE will not indulge in any
farm SURPRISES, but raise only
enough crops for their own needs. I"
Backers of the bill urged that il
was needed to bolster the economy
of the tri be, while its opponents
insisted that the added irrigation
acreage would only increase the
nations farm surpluses.
Secretary of Interior Udall,
present at the signing of the Bill,
Landed the action as a major stride
IN the water resource program. He
stated that he was especially
pleased that Navajo Tribal lands
would be assured of dependable
supply of irrigation water.
1.-The Navajo project will pro-
vide real shot in the arm for these
people who have been be ct by

State Engineer Steve Reynolds

S0,UmiU Fire Does
Little Damage

The fates and good luck were
with the officials of the new saw
mill at Navajo, New Mexico, when
fire broke out on Thursday, June
IA.
Just few days before the fire
the two giant q million gallon wat
er storage tanks located approx
mately 300 feet above the Saw1nill
at Buell. Park had been connected
to the sawmill by the Design anek!
Construction Department. Also
thi S department had installedthree
mobile units of their radio COM
munication equipment
AT the time of the fire the BIA
was ready on telephone lines SO
there was no telephone communi-
cation.
Because of the mobile radio
communication equipment, contact
was made with Window Rock at
1890 am. Thursday; the fire was
contained in short order after
notification. Without the 90, 900
gallons of water used from the
newly connected water system, a
possibly disastrous fire could have
been caused. A spokesman stated,
"While the actual damage is not
considered to be large, the possible
damage could have exceeded
$50, 900, had not the radio commu-
nication and water tanks beenpres-
ent."

access to Mr.. Macmillan, who
had made it quite clear in adj
vance that he did not approve
OF Sir Roy's dash to London at
this moment.
Mr. Macmillan's reception of
Sir Roy was at first described
as having been formal and
cool. They were alone together
at the Prime Minister'S resi-
dence. But later authoritative
sources in Whitehall sought to
dispel the impression of COOL
ness.
They pointed out that there
was no question of discourtesy.
1t was admitted that Sir Roy
had come unlimited to London.
Also it was said that Sir
Roy's idioSyncraSies are well
known in London. The battling
language of the boxing ring is
recognized as coming naturally
to him as a former heavy
weight champion.
Sir Roy's remarks about
"going the whole hog" and
fighting for the Federation"
have been noted as the emo
tional feelings of man used
to blunt speaking.
This is the Whitehall effort
to play down the impression
of British brushoff for Sir
Roy.
Sir Roy met Mr.. Macmillan
again on the morning OF
March /. Also present were
Commonwealth Relations Sec
rotary Duncan Sandys and
Colonial Secretary Reginald
Maudling. A further meeting
with the two ministers, but
without the British Prime Min
lister, was arranged.
Nonetheless Sir Roy was felt
IN Westminster to have over
played his hand in his re-
peated talk about lighting for
the Federation"
he Conservatives in the
.nmons who had threatened
revolt against the British Gov
eminent and in support of Sir
Roy were Unexpectedly docile
after the Northern Rhodesian
constitutional announcement.
They seemed to think it was
! clever piece OF constitutions
, making IN an acutcly difficult
situation. But first reports
from central Africa suggest the
new plan for Northern Rho
deSia may be unacceptable 10

Kenneth Kaunda; leader Of
the United National Independ-
ence Party, is reported as say
ing in Lusaka that it would
result in a stalemate. But he
did not admit to rejecting the
plan.
The new Constitution differs
from the draft proposals made
by Britain last year in that it
gives the Africans greater
likelihood of winning votes in
the so-called middle-roll vot-
ing.
The upper-roll voters
mostly white-will choose IS
representatives for the Legis-
lative Council. The lower roll
voters-predominately Africans
will choose another Is. For
the remaining Is middle roll,
or national seats, a successful
candidate will have to get 10
per cent of the votes of the
other racial community. 1t is
hoped this will operate against
extremists both white and
black. One of the Is middle
roll seats will be reserved for
Asian voters.
There are many mathemati-
cal complications in the pro-
posed voting plan. Can unedu-
Gated Africans contend with
this?
One answer is that if slide
rule is necessary for elections
then it might even come easier
to novice than to an old
hand in democracy.

The British Government view
is that South Africa must be
treated neither too leniently
nor too harshly. Arrangements
for defense cooperation will
continue much as before. But
South Africa would be con-
frmed under the new bill as a
foreign country and South
Africans would be aliens in
Britain.
South Africans will, how
ever, be able to register as
United Kingdom citizens it
they wish before the end of
1864. South Africa loses the
advantages of belonging to
many Commonwealth organ
izations.

no military support to Sir Roy
should he try to suppress
African nationalism by arms:
Britain has no intention OF
being involved in another Al
geria. 80,
The British Government still
fervently hopes that the feder-
alton can be preserved and a
multiracial society established
in central Africa.
But Sir Roy has bulldozed
his way into London at the
moment of the British an
nouncement of a new Consti-
tuition for Northern Rhodesia.
The constitution paves the way
for an African majority gov
eminent in the copper-rich
northern territory, still a Brit
ish protectorate.
In the few hours he has been
here Sir Roy has openly
breathed fire about fighting. In
private be has fumed about be-
ing betrayed by Britain.
Would Sir Roy turn to South
Africa or even Portugal for
military support against Afri-
can nationalism? This was a
question being asked in the
Hobbies of Westminster on the
night of Feb. % after a day of
high drama in the affairs of
Africa. Sir Roy's friends said,
"No, he would not turn to
either South Africa or Portu-
gal"
Sir Roy had been expected
in the Commons to hear the
announcement on Northern
Rhodesia. But at the last min
ute he decided not to turn up.
Instead he was seeking to rally
support in London for his
cause.
At pm, however, he gained :.

which we live that it is not sinful
because it segregates; rather it seq
regates because it is sinful"
With the fact that civil law is on
the side of integration in America,
and against indignation in Africa,
Campbell is not concerned. So far
as the duty of the church goes, it
might just as we'll be the other
way around - as it may some day.
Still God must stand above the
state.
To the argument that the Negro
is not ready for equality, Campbell
replies: "What we need to see is
that when God chooses people to
do his work, it has nothing to do
with the intrinsic merit of those he
has called. The fact that God has
summoned Negro churchmen to do
his work in this crisis is not to
their credit in the least :. 1t
has nothing to do with the suffer-
ing of the chosen, the injusticeS
wrought against them, the humi-
liation of being segregated as an
inferior people, the inconvenience
of discrimination"
The Jews that Moses led out Of
Egypt were inferior too.
White men have said for long
time "Vee ISIS de mahhster lace"
and now the Black Moslems have
lifted the same chant.
It is interesting to note the de-
gree to which the name of Ma
hatma Gandhi is invoked in the
literature of t n e desegregation
campaigns. The entire nonviolent
is built much m ore
around the teachings of the great
Indian leader h around the
teachings of Jesus Christ. This de-
spite the fact that Negro Ameri-
cans, like all other Americans,
have been exposed to Christian
doctrine than to the Canadian
philosophy, and despite the fact
that a rationale for nonviolence
has additionally been derived
f r o m the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ"
"That Gandhi has been so
widely used in this movement may
reflect the Negroes subconscious
rejection of Christianity as the
white mans religion"
