Completing his first year of
body and fender at OTI in June
was Donald Morgan. Don started
the course under the Klamath
Kducatimi Program in September
of last year and feels that he has
learned piitc a hit. Of his main
subjects, paint shop was the most
interesting to him. In his allied
work he has taken physics, math,
and human relations, all of which
he finds difficult hut helpful.
.After completing the course
next June Don thinks he would
like to get some additional train
ing in a related field, such as auto
mechanics or welding. After that
he figures he will take employ
ment. "I don't figure on opening up
my own shop right away. A guy
has to get some experience in
dealing with the public--) on can't
get all your training up here.
They can give you a good start
hut they can't give it all to yoji."
Don is making the most out of
what they can give him, however,
as his grades thus far have heen
well ahove average. Spring term
he got on the honor roll with a
.V5S grade point average.
Recreationally-wi.se he pla cd
basketball last winter with a
national guard team in Klamath
Kails. He also got in some soft
ball playing during spring term.
While Don is not a native of
this area, having spent his early
years in Medford and received
his hijh school training at Del
N'orte Nigh School in Crescent
City, Calif., he professes a liking
for this neck of the woods. He
admits that he has spent con
siderable time around the reser
vation area becoming acquainted
wtih people ami places.
Acknowledging a considerable
interest in termination procedures
he remains reluctant to make any
observations on the subject, aver
ring: " There isn't a heck of a lot that
can be said that hasn't already
been said a thousand times."
And pleading a lack of back
ground in the field--"! never got
interested in it until I got over
here"--he declines further com
ment. During the summer he is con
tinuing his residence in Klamath
Falls with wife. Donna, and three
children and is working for
Kllingson Lumber Co.
HOUSE APPROVES AMENDMENT,
DEPARTS FROM SENATE VERSION;
COMPROMISE CONFERENCE SEEN
The Bill to amend the Klamath
Termination law was passed hy
the House on Tuesday, July 29.
Since the House version of the
amendments differs from the hill
passed by the Senate, it will he
necessary now for the measure to
go to a conference committee
where a compromise bill will be
drafted. Senator Ncubcrger has
been appointed chairman of the
Senate conferees. House ap
pointees to the compromise com
mittee have not yet been named.
Any compromise bill drafted
by the conference committee will
not become law until the bill is
passed on both the House and
Senate floors and signed by the
President.
The bill as passed by the House
is printed below with all changes
shown in bold-face. Deleted por
tions have been left out entirely.
It is suggested that the reader
compare the House version with
the Senate version by referring
to the May 1958 issue of the
Tribune.
The action taken by the House
brings the Klamath Tribe another
step closer to the termination of
Federal supervision. As indicated
above, however, there are still
three major steps remaining,
namely, the drafting of a compro
mise bill by the conference com
mittee, the passage of the bill by
both the House and Senate, and
signing of the bill into law by
the President.
The Tribune will attempt to
keep Tribal members posted as
these steps arc taken.
