RICHMOND, June pa
petition before the Virginia
State Board Of Education was
withdrawn today by five Fairfax
County parents who had in
voked a State anti-integration
regulation to prevent the trans
fer of their children from a
Fairfax County school.
The petition was withdrawn
midway in a hearing before the
State board when an informal
agreement was reached between
the parents and the Fairfax
County School Board. Racial
problems we're not involved in
the petition.
The school board, in its
agreement, promised that the
case of each child who had
filed a pupil placement card
would be handled on an indi-
vidual basis before transfers
are made.
Guy o. Farley, jr., Fairfax
School Board attorney, said
that no child would be moved
from his present school if he
could not be given the same
courses and work at a new
school, and that hardship
problems would be considered
in the placement of any pupil.
In the early part Of the hear
ings, Robert w. Brown, one Of
the five petitioners and spokes-
man for the group. told the
State board that the action of
the school board in transfer
ring children from J. E. b.
Stuart High School had been
unanimously opposed by par
ent groups at several meetings.
Mr.. Brown said he consid-
cred it illegal to transfer stu
dents to a school not yet in
existence.
The boards transfer action
would have taken students
from the Stuart school and
placed them in the w. T.
WoodSon High School. not yet
completed, and would have
moved them later into a
proposed Lincolnia- Weyanoke
High School.
Donald Petit, president of
the ]. E. B. Stuart Parent
Teacher Association for the
coming year, although not one
of the five petitioners, attended
the hearings to protest transfer
of his daughter from the
Stuart school.

shopping centers. Congress has
passed a bill allowing Navajos to
lease their lands for upto 99years.
That will pave the way for not only
more industrial development, but
also for FILA financed homes.
Under the old pastoral economy,
the isolated hogan was just the
thing. Now, with the industry of the
late 10th Century ready to invade
the reservation, towns will spring
up like magic.
More than anything else, the
Navajo Indian tribe needs indus
trial development.
Following World War IL, an
analysis of reservation resources
revealed that only half the popula-
tion--at that time, 5,OOO--could
possibly live off the land at decent
standard. The other half would
have to seek other ways to make
a living.
Reservation economy, accord
ing to the report, was "delicately
balanced" lin 1910, the average
per capita income was $3.50

still less than one-fourth the ma
tional average.) Basing calcula-
tions on the fact that Navajo

largely on grazing land on the

relegated 10 the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.
Although the United States COM
mitted itself in the 1868 treaty to
supply a schoolroom and teacher
for every 30 Navajo children, Nav
ajos largely resisted schooling for
their children When the war opened
The Peoples eyes to live outside
the reservation and more federal
funds were made available, the ed
ucation explosion began. AS late as
1850. only 1900 children we're in
school. Now practically all Navajo
children (some 3O,OOO) attend $50
schools on the reservation and its
periphery.
Few Navajos live in villages.
They're scattered all over the
IS, square miles of the reser-
vation. Most children must leave
their isolated family hogan, there
fore, and board in federal dormi-
tories.
How well do NaVajos learn? The
language barrier slows down many
and gives teachers more trouble
than any other one factor in reser-
walton schools. But for a good
Navajo student usually one whose
parents speak English at home(
the sky's the limit. The tribe has
set up $40 million trust fund for
college scholarships. They can be
obtained by any Navajo youngster
who is qualified to get into college.
And the US. Public Health Serv-
ice has virtually stopped the march
of disease. Since 1855 when it
took over Indian health from BIA,
the USPHS has set up five hos
pitals and chain of health clinics
in the field.
The result: More and more of
The People enjoying better and
better health.
If you're a natural born peSsi-
mist, you might compare the Nav
ajo reservation meager Develop
ment with its exploding population
and then wind up ecasting dis
aster for the reservation Navajo.
But in this land of paradox and
contrast, one of the Navajos' big
gest problems today may turn out
to be one of the biggest SIS ct S
tomorrow.
A whole new school of econo-
mists have looked at growing
populations all over the world. But
they're not calling it curse. It's
"the population blessing"
What about the Navajo? Is the
tribes booming population merely
an insuperable problem? Or will it
turn out 10 be a pool of valuable
m anpower-- and ready market for
all manner OF manuf actured goods

In assessing the value of reser-
vation resources, then, you must
consider manpoWer as one of its

greater job snlls, that manpower

minimum of 30, with the possibil-

But the tribe is looking TO the
development of its vast coal de-
posits TO provide tribal income and
a basis for a firm economy in
future years.

have gone ahead with the tribe and
made plans for a giant coal mining

provide just the lure needed to
bring industry and 10000 addi-
tional jobs to the San Juan River
Basin.
Why the San Juan Basin and not
some other part of the reservation?
WATER. Because water is still
necessary to any industrial or
urban development and water is
still very dear on the reservation.
1t costs $4,000 to dig we'll: The
water is down deep. But the San
Juan, a major tributary OF the
Colorado, flows with good water
Just east of the reservation, the
Bureau Of Reclamation is building
the S23 million Navajo Dam on the
San Juan, part of an overall Upper
Colorado River Storage Project.
Some of the water behind the
dam is earmarked for the Navajo
reservation and a Navajo Irriga-
tion Project to bring that water to
10000 acres Of irrigable Navajo
land is now pending in Congress.
Looking forward to that day the
Tribe foresees 1OO-acre farms for
/ 200 families, and room for an
other / 200 to 1900 in allied
service industries.
To train NavajoS in modern
farming methods, the Bureau of
Indian Affairs completed the con-
struction of a 1 200 acre irrigation
project on the Hogback Unit, To-
Gated near the helium plant few
miles west of Shiprock, New Mex
leo. In the past years, the Navajo
Tribe has appropriated sever a.
hundred thousands dollars for the
training program. In addition tc
instruction in modern min E
techniques, the trainees also
receive instruction in Engli S h,
arithmetic, farm budget, and rec
ord keeping. Their wives are
trained in home economics, and
homemaking by experienced extern
sion workers. The tribe is prepar-
ing, then, a nucleus of highly trained
farmers ready to take their place
on the Navajo Irrigation Project
or any other irrigation farmlands
that become available.
In all of this planning for great

tribe is making master plans for

the Spani iards, and by 1880 when
the Pueblo Indians revolted and
drove out the Spanish, the Navajos
had adopted pastoral culture, had
learned TO love the sheep that pro-
vided them with food and clothing.
The Navajos lived for the next
200 years in their quiet canyons
and fertile valleys, left them only
for occa casional raids on Indian
Pueblos.
Following the Indian wars, u. S.
Army General William Tecumseh
Sherman signed a treaty with Nav
ajo leaders at Fort Sumner in 1868.
The Navajos agreed to return to
some 81 million acres in the Can
yon de Chelly area and keep peace
with other Indi an tribes. In turn,
the United States agreed to give
them 10000 head of sheer and
goats.
Successive presidential orders
gave the NavaioS more area. Even
SO, under their pastoral economy,
the Navajos did not have enough
land. Livestock herds steadily de-
voured range grasses, and heavy
rains Of the 1905 produced wide
spread erosion.
But The People kept pretty much
to their old ways. They continuedto
exc out a living from sheep raising,
little melon and squash culture,
rug weaving, silVersmithing, part
time farm and railroad work.
SOCIAL REVOLUTION. Then
came World War II.
Railroads and war industries
needed manpoWer and recruited
more than Is, 600 Navajos. Thirty
five hundred joined the Army, Navy,
Marines. The Navajos made an out
standing contribution to the war
effort Navajo Marines in the South
Pacific developed a code in their
own Navajo language. The Japanese
never cracked it.
But when The People returned
to the reservation at wars end,
they had seen too much to go back
to the life they once knew They
were psychologist ally ready to span
the standstill of centuries in dec
ade. And a combination of happy
circumstances occurred to help
them do it.
Big drilling companies discov-
cred oil, paid the tribe millions for
rights to its latent oil reserves.
more millions for royalties on the
oil they pumped to New Mexico and
the West Coast.
The u. s. Government set the
lndi an Claims Commission to settle
all American Indi an claims against
the United States and told the Nav
ajoS TO hire themselves an attor-
ney 10 prepare their case.
And, Congress, in the midst of
big spending for post war foreign
aid, were apprised of the plight of
the Navajo at home and voted $88
million in 1850 for Naval -Hopi

nomenon will have on Navajoland2
TOURISM. Many overlook one of
Navajoland' greatest and most
salable resources: its spectacular
scenery.
Tribal leaders have already
recognized the tremendous draw
ing power of such scenery studded
spots as red-rocked walls of Can
yon de Chelly. the pines and spruc-
es, trout streams and lakes of the
Chuska Mountains. the majestic,
ancient spires Of Monument Valley,
the dry falls of the Little Colo
rado, Glen Canyon Dam and its
gigantic Lake Powell. Monument
Valleys $4,000 acres is the first
of q number of parks planned by
the tribe.
Even in the wide open West,
recreation areas become more
jammed every year. Navajos know
they have golden opportunity to
meet increasing recreation needs
in the West. "The tourists are
going to come to our reservation,
said Chairman Paul Jones in a
radio talk to his people recently.
1--WE might as well pick their
pockets. "
What he meant was this: The
People have to be ready to 60 into
the tourist business, set up motels,
restaurants, shops where sight
seers can spend their vacation
dollars. AS it is, there are few
places on the reservation where a
tourist can spend the night, or even
have a good dinner. Thousands
visit the Navajo Tribal Fair at
Window Rock each September, but
must drive 27 miles away to Gallup
for motel accommodations.
The tribe, however, has seen its
success at two small motels, one at
Window Rock, the other at Shiprock,
and has engaged consulting firms
to help them plan more motels and
restaurants.
Soon the tribe may have a net
work of motels across the reser-
vation. More than 5000 tourists
visited Canyon de Chelly in 1855;
Il 900 visited in 1859. In 1860,
$4,000 came to see its wonders.
Perhaps the first new tribal motel
will spring up here.
Recently, the tribe started
developing huge boy scout camp in
a natural gigantic amphitheater in
the Chuska Mountains. Boy scouts
from all over the United States wi IL
visit the camp within the next
decade, then return home and
spread the word about the beauties
of the reservation.
MIN ERALS: At the present
time, oil and gas constitute the
most important minerals under
development on the reservation.
With techniques presently avail
able, it is possible to recover
