Malaspina Loses
 25C Worth of Paint

SITKA R = The Alaska ferry Malaspina "lost only 25 cents worth of paint" when she grazed a reef yesterday in Neva Strait, her skipper said today.
 Capt. Reuben Jacobsen contin- ued on to Sitka after the incident and said a scuba diver was unable to find any damage worse than the scratched paint.
 The ferry was riding with the tide through the strait at about 2O-22 knots when she veered and scraped the rock. Jacobsen dropped anchor, checked and found no leaks, then resumed the run here.
 The Malaspina was on regular schedule to Wrangell and Ketchi- kan today.
 A sister ferry, the Taku, was damaged severely enough to re- quire repairs in Seattle when she struck an uncharted rock at the entrance to Petersburg Harbor April 25.

Defense Dept.
 Will Close Certain Facilities in Alaska

WASHINGTON R - The De- fense Department intends to go ahead with plans to close certain facilities in Alaska, the states senators said today.
 They were assured, however, in a letter from Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense, that studies are continuing on the overall national air defense situation, in- cluding Alaska.
 Sen. Ernest Gruening made pub lie letter sent in response to in- quiries by Sens. Gruening and E. l.. Bartlett about the defense situa- tion in Alaska.
 McNamara said a reorientation of the program concerning a satel- lite tracking station at Ft. Greedy resulted in elimination of the need for that station at present.
 Deactivation of the activity will mean a saving of SIS million a year, said McNamara, who added that the Air Force will continue to examine the facility for possible use in future space programs.
 McNamara said the closing of three radar stations in Alaska was based on study which determined they were no longer needed and that about $3.35 million year could be saved by the decision.
 ''The conversion of adjacent ra- dar stations to more advanced equipment rendered the three sta tions superfluous, McNamara said. He did not identify the stations
 McNamara also said the Navy Department will be unable to sta- tion an additional combat ship in the 17th Naval District of Alaska.

10 The Editor :

Dear Editor:
l cannot keep from feeling
ashamed. Even in twentieth century
America we (White citizens) have
given to the Indian second class
citizenship, as we have to SO many
other minority groups. Most of us
become SO involved in our own
small worlds that we have little
aWareneSs of the various cultures
that exist within our own country,
and, as result, pr obably uncon-
sciously, we tend to make danger
Gus stereotypes about others. l
think that perhaps one of the great
est gifts that we can give to the
Indians is not new hospital facili-
ties, or schools, or food, although
these are certainly important, but
rather. respect.
Last summer | worked in
Chinle, and | came to know many
of the customs and ideas of a
people whom | had only heard of
before from history books. When |
went back to my home in NewYork
City. often found myself wishing
that the white people of this country
would learn to apply some of the
philosophy of the Navajo Indians
to their own daily lives which, in
too many cases have become so
complex that it has become mean
ingless and without any real sense
of enjoyment or pleasure. But per-
haps even more, | found myself
hoping that the Naval Indians, who
are so rich in tradition and culture,
would not ever become completely
absorbed into the Western or
white way of life. There are
many things about the white Ameri-
can culture that are wonderful, but,
nversely, there are also many
things about the Navajo culture that
are just as wonderful. and, hope,
will never be destroyed or forgot
ten. | shall never forget waking up
in the early morning and seeing,
from the window of my trailer,
flocks of sheep, being herded by
young children, of seeing an old
Navajo man galloping swiftly along
dusty road, with a look of Joy and
pride on his face, of watching an
Indian woman weave RUG with
infinite skill and patience, of seeing
the bright colors of the Navajo
Reservation.
The old proverb that the grass
looks greener on the other side of
the fence is still true today. Young
people especially, l think, tend to
glorify, out Of proportion, things
that are not their own. probably

recovery of Mrs Silversmith, and the extra IL hours
which would have been necessary to transfer Mrs. Sill

tional hardship A Navajo woman may we'll owe her
life to the fact that the medical personnel were eff
