Court Steps
Into Sale of
Indian Land
PORTLAND JP) A Circuit
Court judge voiced suspicion Mon
day that a recently publicized sale
of Indian timberland was "just
too raw to get by this court."
Circuit Judge Ashby C. Dickson
directed Attorney Leroy Lomax
to make an investigation of the
sale and the Indian Affairs Office
part in it.
If Lomax finds anything wrong
with the transaction, the court
will back him up in a suit to in
validate the sale, Dickson said.
The sale referred to was on the
Southwest -Oregon coast last sum
mer, 800 acres of timberland
owned by two Indians being soid
for $135,000. Lomax said the In
dian Affairs Office would not al
low the two Indians to make their
own dicker. Instead the land was
sold to another Indian, who was
free of Indian Affairs Office Re
strictions, and the land then went
to white men for $160,000. Next it
went on option to other white men
fo" $300,000.
Lomax, attorney for the two In
dians who originally owned the
timber, asked the court to order
an abstract of title on the land.
The iudge granted his request,
th? commented:
"If these people have had some
of their rights taken from them, I
want those ri?hts restored, if it is
humanly possible to do so. If this
transaction is as I surmise it to be,
it is just too raw to get by this
court without some effort to re
store their rights to them."
Wool Price
Support Plan
Said Certain
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
That government support of
wool prices on a non-recourse loan
basis up to 90 per cent of parity
appears certain, is the message
P. A. Ward brings to Oregon from
Washington, D. C.
Ward, general manager of the
Pacific Wool Growers Association,
has just returned from the na
tional capital. The expected sup
port price is the result, Ward said,
of a conference ,held by wool
growers' representatives, Western
senators and congressmen and gov
ernment officials in Washington.
Ward" is also a member of the
wool advisory committee to the
Office of Price Stabilization.
While many growers would
probably prefer no wool support
program at all, under the defense
p-oduction act. Ward explains, it
is mandatory for the secretary of
agriculture to announce a support
program. The wool growers' asso
ciations were unanimous in their
stand that the non-recourse loan
program," in which the producer
maintains his beneficial interest
in the product until it is sold, or
taken over by the government,
rather than a wool-purchase pro
gram, would be the best for the
growers.
Ward also reports that represen
tatives of the wool groups agreed
that the government loan proposal
should be an emergency measure,
and they expressed hope that the
market would stay above the loan
level so growers would not have to
resort to it. They were also in
agreement that other Dermanent
remedies should be undertaken to
"hore up" declining wool mar
kets. One prooosal 'was to urge
the treasurv deoartment to levy
countervailing duties on the impor
tation of wool or manufactured
wool tops entering this country
under subsidy conditions. It had
been renorted that the govern
ments of Argentina and Uruguay
were subsidizing manufacturers in
their countries on wool toDS ex
ported, which enabled them to
dump this semi-manufactured wool
in the United States at less than
the cost of raw wool.
Ward urged that the military
purchasing deDartments stokDHe
reserves of wool fabrics and uni
forms to strengthen demand for
wool, to nrovide work or thou
sands of idle textile workers, and
to give some support to the wool
market by takin? weights of wool
off the market. This nronosal was
endorsed at the Wshineton, D. C.
meeting and will b incornorated
In the recommendations of the
wool groups.
