Montoyu Pushes
Urban Grants

Congre ssman Joseph Nj.
Montoya today introduced legis-
lation to amend section 7O1 of
the Housing Act of 1884 to auth
orize The Housing and Home Fin
ance Administrator to make urban
planning grants hereunder for the
provision of planning assistance to
Indian reservations.
The Congressman states: 81
believe that ii is essential that
this Legislation be enacted SO that
the tribes will be able to make
overall plans for their future. In
this way, tribe can plan for
better housing, better utilities,
better roads, better educational
and recreational facilities and pro-
vide general plan which can then
later be implemented by planning
for specific projects.
"Section 7O1 of the Housing Act
of 1854 as originally Written,pro-
vides for planning grants to state
planning agencies for the pro-
vision for planning assistance but
excluding plans for specific public
works. The reason this amendment
is nece ssary is because the urban
renewal administration has inter-
preted this language to exclude
Indian tribes.
CPL. $3.50 formerly author
lied the housing and home finance
admin Strator to make loans to
municipalities and other political
subdivisions of states to finance
specific projects for public works.
This law was specifically amended
to include Indian tribes in public
law 87-8O8.
Indian tribes are included
under the provisions of The Public
Works Acceleration Act, The Area
Redevelopmenr Act, and The Man
power Development and Training
Act of 1862. | believe that the
omission of Indian tribes under the
provisions of section 7O1 of the
Housing Act of 1854 was not in
territorial and they should be in
cluded within its terms"

A Reflection
Of Greatness
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

d REPRESENTATIVE Ben
~ Reifel, born in a log
cabin, was speaking and the
words came from his heart:
II came here in 1885 for
the first time, off an Indian
reservation, excited by our
great Capital.
IT got off at Union Station
and walked along the Post
Office Building.
II was never so surprised
In. my life.
'"As I looked in this d.
rection, ! could see the Cap
itol Illuminated by all Of the
electric lights and, off to the
side, this little hovel in which
there was a coal oil lamp.
1T do not see that any
more. I hope the day will
come when there will be no
part Of our Capital area but
that we will always be proud
to show 1t TO those who
come, and there will be no
youngster coming to the
Capital surprised at seeing
the contrast I saw at that
time"
