Since long before the advent of

Now. the torch is in your hands.
The salvation of the Indian nationis
in your hands. The kind of world we

When our famous Senator and
friend. Carl Hayden. from the State
of Arizona was first elected to Con-
gress he was very effective. able
and very forceful young man. He
being young and aggressive wanted
to make lot of changes inrhe State
of Arizona and Congress.
An observer noticing Senator
Hayden very much on fire ap-
preached him and id to hi m, ,
"Young man. remember you will

on what the observer said. Senator
Hayden for all these years has been

of Arizona and for the Indians OF
that State.

of active, progressive Indian Iedu-
ership on some Reservations, TO-
gether with the help of the Federal
Government and other agencies,
much Indian land which was con-
sidered TO be waste land is proving
to be extremely valuable. Indian
leadership, with help from every
reliable source, should continue
the programs of investigation. re-
search. planning and development.
There is no doubt that the natural
resource development program
has only begun, and if il iscarried
forward with energy andforesight,
it will result in a better wayo life
for the people and benefit TO our
country as whole.
The greatest resource OF any
area, however, is the human re-
source which is even more impor-
tant than any natural physical re-
source there may be. Education,
better health. participation in Iri-
bal affairs, interest and activity
in national, state and local mat
ters can do much toward develop
ing and relea sing this almost-un-
touched. but b solutely vital
resource.
Since Indian youth in many ca SeS
have grown from childhood in en-
Wronments of isolation, far from
industrial and urban centers. with
a different way of life, great deal
of thoughtful time should be given
to the development of complete
understanding of the surrounding
world, both near and far, through
study. newspapers. magazines.
pictures. television. short excur-
sions. long tours, living in off-Res-
ervation schools, in camps, special
centers and hospitable homes. This

of good and of bad. SO that the indi-
1dual may judge these things for
himself. The adjustments and the
conduct in various places should
become a part of each ones un-
derstanding and feeling.
The effort to develop the best
resOurce-use program onthe Res
ervationS should continue so that
the Indian people will conserve.
develop and receive the maximum
benefits from their efforts and
from the resources available. To
mention just few of the possibil-
tiles. there are jobs in small in
duStrles, bu sine s enterpri ses,
crafts, stockraising, agriculture,
development of mineral resources
the services required by tourists,
recreational facilities and the like.
The natural sources are
there. but they are worthless unless
there are trained people to exploit
them. AS the leaders of tomorrow,
you must make the best possible
use of your training to show those
who are less fortunate the way to
security and happiness.
AS you strive to better your
selves at your new jobs and in
your new surroundings, let me urge
you to continue your study of Eng

1t used to be that man could get
a job anywhere. but that's not true
any more. | have been told that most
of you graduate have already
planned your future. You either will
succeed in your future endeavors
or else go back to the blanket.
When you leave here. many of
you will find new life inthe stream
of society in big cities. Let me
caution you to avoid slum exi stence.
Indian people tend 10 fall into the
undesirable parts of big cities.
AS a member of the Navajo Tri-

been my good fortune to have come
into contact with many of your tri-
bal leaders of the Americ an Indian
race Our problems are very SIM
liar in nature and character. PraC-
tically all of our problems can be
solved through educ alton. We must
put the interest of the American
Indians first. This is not selfish
ness, but this is the only way we
can hope to be a free people and
enjoy our American heritage.
You who are desirous TO help
your people will meet great chal-
lenge Attimes you will be severely
criticized in your endeavors to help
your people to relieve poverty.

One of our greatest presidents. Alb

solving our own problems as an In

the rest of the world for anything
we do or do, not do.
More and more Indian people
have come to recognize and take
advantage of opportunities away
from their reservations If these
newcomers to the communities out
side the reservations are TO find

be aware of certain obvious facts.
They must realize first t h a

ment Exercise. 1t is always a
pleasure for me TO speak to young
people, because you are our lead
ers of the future and you will in
herit the burdens and dproblems now
shouldered by your elders. The
thought uppermost in our minds and
hearts in all our planning on our
reservation today is the kind of
world we will one day hand over
to you.
| am constantly reminded of an
address made at my graduation
from high school. The speaker
quoted an old saying, "a bird in
hand is worth two in the BUSH. He
shouted. 'The reins of success are
in your hands, 90 TO it! Nobody
can take it away from you. With
out any wi hful thinking on your
part. you will carry it TO your
grave" Iwould like to saythe same
thing to you.

They must realize that they owe

membership in churches and civic
organizations will broaden their
field of friendship and at the same
time help them TO render service

In general, the basic needs of
the Indian people are the same s
those of the majority of people in
the United States. These needs may
differ in degrees in some areas, but
educ alton, food, shelter. clothing,
employment. health services.
wholesome recreation and under
standing of other people are some
of the factors which must be given
consideration.
Because of the growing need of
our country for educ ated and skilled

Indian people is fC4 higher educ a.
tional level. During recent years.
a gigantic effort has been made to
get all Indian children of school age

more than $4,000 Navajo children

SHELL WILL NO ASK HIS. SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR RICHARD NIXON

LOS ANGELES lR' Richard Nixon says some basic differences still exist between him and Joseph c. Shell, who endorsed the former Vice Presidents bid for governor.
 Nixon, who defeated the as- semblyman for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, yester- day lauded Shells support, saying it was fin the responsible tradition of the American political system 7
 Shell anounced his surprise en- dorsement Monday night after a secret meeting with Nixon.
 Shell, however, said he cannot and will not ask his supporters to vote for Nixon in the coming elec- tion against Democratic incumbent Edmund c. Brown. Shell said his followers must choose for them selves between the two candidates after analyzing their programs.
 But he said he would be pleased if they follow his example and en- dorse Nixon.
 These people voted for me on the basis of principles" Shell said. Theirs was considered vote against majority opinion, and neither nor anyone else can tell them whom to vote for.''
 Meanwhile, Gov. Brown termed Nixon a political opportunists.'
 Nixon trims his sails to what ever winds happen to be blowing. At least half of Shells total vote was anti-Nixon and I confidently predict it will go to me in the fall. !"

 Two men named as kingpins in this traffic ducked behind the veil of Fifth Amendment pleadings, in refusing to answer questions about prostitution or much of anything else, lest they incriminate thenn- selves.
 They identified themselves as Sam A. Holzman, now residing at Wheeling, W Va, and Sam Nit chell, of Calumet City, III.
 Both refused to answer when asked by the Senate investigations subcommittee whether they had as an immigration agent testified kept girls in literal bondage and prostitution at the Riptide Club in Calument City. The subcon- mittee said Hickman and Mitchell are partners in the club.
 Two Immigration and Natural ization Service officials spun the story of the illegal traffic in girls from Canada and Cuba.
 The subcommittee is investigat-# ing allegations that the American Guild of Variety Artists, an AFL- CIO union, has failed to protect it's members from exploitation in honky tonk night clubs, and that some of its officials connived in the rackets.

ALASKA RESIDENTS WARNED OF NON-LICENSED INSURANCE COMPANIES

It has been brought to the att tention of the Division of Insur- ance, Dept. of Commerce, that one or more insurance companies not licensed in this state are currently soliciting business by mail from AIaskans.
 The Division of Insurance wish es to point out that it can be of only limited assistance to those persons who purchase insurance from companies not licensed to do business in Alaska. The Division strongly recommends that insur- ance be purchased from one of the many companies licensed by the state. In the event of contested claim with an unlicensed company, suit would have to be filed in the courts of the state where the com pany is domiciled and not in the courts of this state.
 Should Alaskans have any doubts as to company's status, or that of any individual representing himself as an agent, they may contact the Division of Insurance Dept. of Commerce, Alaska Office Bldg, Juneau prior to the purchase of policy.
