Six Navajo students from Brig

Shiprock, NM, to attend The Nav
ajo Youth Conference.
The six--LaVerna Ahkeah,
Betty Wilson. Govern Johnson,
Robert Walters, Sandy Towne and

when more than 400 Navajo students
gathered.
Stressing the value of education,
the conference consisted of group
discussions and lectures designed
to help solve problems of the In

needs more. The exhibits and the
events get better and still many are
turned away for lack of exhibit
space. The Queen contestants get
lovlier and more talented, the
babies fatter, and cutter. the live
stock more sleek, and the fried
bread tastes better. Everything
about this annual affair is the best,
and this past years was no except
ion. Much time and effort goes into
the planning of the Tribal Fair. May
the inspired people that made
1868 Fair so great make the Fair
in 1862 even better.
After a long, drawn out, some
times ridiculous court fight, Fed
eral Judge John B. McManus ruled
that 'there can be no denial of the
Navajo Indians to vote in the State
of New Mexico. The case had been
brought to court when candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of New Mexi-
CO Joseph Montoya, was defeated
by Tom Bolack of Pennington. The
implications of the court case were
great and far reaching, and so the
ruling of the presiding Judge was
considered fair and just. To help
further the cause of Americanship
for the Navajos, the Navajo Tribal
Council has recently adopted the
Election Code of the State of New
Mexico for those Navajos that live
in that portion of the Navajo Reser-
vation that lies in New Mexico.
Secretary of the Interior Ste
wart Udall found time in his busy
schedule to visit the Navajo Reser-
vation near the end of the year. With
the Secretary was Commissioner
Nash, and various members of the
Indian Task Force Group and Indian
Comm ssion. Talks with Tribal
Leaders and the group were held,
and various items were discus sed.
The group took time to visit the new
eight million dollar Navajo sawmill
and see progress in action on the
Reservation. Since the Secretary
was raised near the reservation, in
Arizona, he is cogniZant of our
needs.
An early, and what portends to
be hard winter, paid an early visit
to Navajoland. Old man Winter
liked the Reservation SO well, he
stayed: in fact he is still much in
evidence. The lowest temperatures:
20 to IS below zero and most
snow: 80 to 50 inches, hit Navajo
land for the roughest, earliest win
ter in over 9 years. Better COM
municationS, and better roads,
made this snowy spell easier to
overcome. For some time fog ham,
pered airdrops of food and feed, but
this was to lift soon and allow the
Air Force to fly in and make tn e
drops. Some 5O7 food packets, and
almost $500 bale S of hay were
dumped in 8 days of flying. Many
old timers foretold hard winter.
They seemed TO be more than justi-
fled in their statements. Out of all
the snow, however, should come
fine spring, good for livestock and
people too.
1861 saw the start of the eight
million dollar Navajo sawmill and
the birth of new town, Navajo,
New Mexico. Located at Red Lake,
north of Window Rock, this huge
structure and townsite rise out of the
valley to surprise all who visit it.
The sawnill. with the mo st modern
logging equipment in the world, will
contain some 9.99 acres under roof
when completed. The new town will
have some 1000 inhabitants for its
first citizens soon.

Who'd Been q Player

GEORGE SELKIRK WAS more than
mere STRIPPING when he came up with the
Yankees in 1884. He was 20, and it was
to be another year before he won place
in the regular lineup Think it was easy?
Now hear this
The rangy, hard-muscled man who is
the Senators new general manager ap-
peared on the scene when a fellow named
Babe Ruth, also rightfielder, was playing
his final season in the American League.
Then, in the years to follow, Selkirk was to
see nothing except other first-rate out
fielderS-not as great as Ruth, but younger
that he had to combat.
ut was quite an experience" George
laughed yesterday in the Senator's offices
at D. c. Stadium, when his appointment to
succeed Ed Doherty was announced. They
seemed to arrive in droves DiMaggio,
Keller, Heinrich :. not to mention such as
Roy johnson, Ben Chapman, Jake Powell
and Myril Hoag."
Selkirk, called Twinkletoes when he
played, was not the greatest of these but
he was far from the least. He was solid
hitter who could be counted on to bat over
300 and, likely as not, drive across 100 runs.
GEORGE DIDN'T PLAY too long, not
as regular, anyway, but that scarcely was
his fault. How many outfielders could find
a spot in that Yankee combination of
Charley Keller, Joe DiMaggio and Tommy
Heinrich? You think Roger Maris could
have? Don't be silly.
Destiny shaped Selkirk to be among
the unsung. In another era-or for another
ball club-it would have been different.
Still, he was good enough to play with
these giants who are rated as one of the
all-time outfields, and lots of times even
Keller, DiMag and Heinrich, when they
were sidelined, weren't sorely missed be-
cause Selkirk was on hand

SeIkirk Open to Deals for Any Senator
Boss Says
Club Needs
New Faces
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

George Selkirk, a self
described "old-fashioned" base
ball man from the standpoint
of evaluating players, is ready
to move in and bring new faces
to the Senators in his role as
the clubs new general man
ager.
The 54-year old former YAM
kee outfielder signed a two
year contract yesterday after
President Pete Quesada mar
rowed the candidates to five
and then selected Selkirk, a
man who best met the quail
fications."
Joe Burke, assistant general
manager for the past two years,
and one of the five finalists,
signed a two-year contract as
business manager at a Substan-
tial increase in salary.
Pays Tribute to Burke
Quesada paid expansive trib-
ute to Burke's contributions
over the past six weeks, and
said Joe was a most valuable
member of the organization.
Like everyone else, I hope
to be a general manager some
day." Burke said. either with
Washington or some place else,
and will work hard toward that
position.
Selkirk, who entered the pic
ture two weeks ago on the rec
ommendation of sound baseball
men, met the press late yester-
day after a hurried trip from
Florida. AS field co-ordinator
for the Orioles, he had been
working with the Baltimore
youngsters in the Institutional
league.
Selkirk will remain here until
Saturday afternoon, when he
leaves for the minor league
meetings in Rochester.
He hopes to name a farm
director within a week or 10
days and said he probably
would retain Tommy Cronin,
the Senators assistant farm di-
rector under Hal Keller, who
resigned recently.
No Irreparable Loss
The player who succeeded
Babe Ruth in rightfield for the
Yankees admitted the Senators
have lost ground in recent
weeks by operating without q
general manager and farm di-
rector, but he said it was not
an irreparable loss.
George took the untouchable
tag off Chuck Hinton and
Claude Osteen and said he
would listen to deals for any of
the Senators.
I'm a conservative, I guess
you'd say" Selkirk said with
some elaboration" but I real
ize this club needs new faces
and it will be my policy to re-
place anybody who is not help
ing U.S."
Asked about Jim Piersall,
whose future as a member of
the Senators has been ques-
toned, Selkirk said he has
great regard for Piersall's abil-
ity, and looks for him to
bounce back.

The Green Bay Packers and
the Texas Longhorns hope to
provide the bulk of the excite
mept in Thanksgiving Day
football program unusual for
its significance.
The Packers, the class of the
National Football League, where
class abounds, seek their 18th
straight victory of the season
in a clash with the potent
Detroit Lions that could come
close to settling the Western
Division championship.
The Longhorns, also unbeaten
but in slightly less celebrated
company, take their No. 4 rating
among the Nations college
teams into their annual Thanks
giving game with arch-rival
Texas AIM.
For Texas, there is much at
stake. A victory means the
Southwest Conference cham
pionship and a spot in the
Cotton Bowl game on New
Years Day, plus the Longhorn's
first unbeaten regular season
in football since 1923. Only a
tie mars Texas nine-game
