GLENN WILLIS dropped in to Gid Aspey's mochine shop
in Riddle the other afternoon for a little visit and of
course, out of long habit, pulled a chair up to the big
stove there and sat down, although the weather was this
spring's warmest. Pretty soon he leaned comfortably against
it, which he wouldn't safely have done only a few short
days ago. Glenn, retired from his position with a state
highway repair crew about a year and a half ago, stops
for an argument whenever he feels like one, and always
gets it.
Gid Aspey, the stove's overseer, is Riddle's mayor. I
think he has been mayor at least twice before, years ago,
as well as councilman I don't know how often. Last time
he was mayor he had some important business to attend to
at a council meeting only to find, when he got there, no
quorum was present. "Bzz, bzz, bzz," went into some
body's ear and, presently, the firebell clanged like mad.
Everyone in Riddle came running (as people do every
where) and lo! so did the negligent councilmen. Quickly
nabbing them, Gid led them into the council chambers.
This episode got into the papers all over the country and
Gid always blamed me for telling about it; but I wouldn't
have done such a thing then, any more than I would now.

Over cast of the mountains
especially in Klamath and Lake
counties, and to a lesser extent in
Modoc and Siskiyou counties in
California the termination of
federal supervision of the Klamath
Indian reservation is a matter of
the utmost interest and impor
tance. '
The termination, with its accom
panying problem of removing the
Klamath Indians from 'he status
of wards of the federal govern
ment and making :hem over into
full citizens with all the privileges
and responsibilities of citizenship,
was initiated by the enactment, in
the frenetic closing days of the
congress last summer, of Public
Law 587. It is under this law that
the transition of the Indians from
wards of the government to full
U. S. citizenship is to ake place.
Some imperfections in the law are
showing up, and these imperfee
tions are presenting problems
I suppose interest in 'ne Klam
ath reservation is much less keen i

a routine form dispatched to the

This form, used by any officer
requesting a change of status,
cited Army regulations on retire

I shall have completed over 38

Polio Vaccine
Release Hoped
Momentarily
WASHINGTON Surgeon
General Leonard Scheele said Fri
day nothing has developed to
threaten "ultimate success" of the
polio vaccination program, and its
suspension will be lifted "momen
tarily" for one manufacturer's
vaccine.
Scheele gave a report to the
House Banking Committee whose
members indicated they were
ready to whip out any new laws
that might be helpful.
Ai to legislation, Scheele said
he was not in position to recom
mend anything. He said any rec
ommendations would be made by
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary
of welfare, in a report she plans
to the President, possibly, this
weekend. ,
In response to questions, Scheele
said, however, he could see "no
objection" to proposals that the
Federal government buy the en
tire output of ' vaccine and turn
it over to the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis for mass
inoculations.
In his own report, Scheele said:
There is every reason to believe
"enough vaccine will be available
to vaccinate the children in the
most susceptible age groups be
fore the height of the polio sea
son" from . mid-August to mid -September.
"Such difficulties" as have come
up are natural in the early phases
ot "any optimistic nationwide
health program."
