THE CVA DOUBLE TALK y We do not know how many Indian reservations there are in the region over which the proposed Columbia valley adminis- tration will hold sway if the bill becomes law. There are sev- eral, however, and they all exist by virtue of solemn treaties - entered into between the. Indian tribes and the United States government. Under these treaties the reservation lands are Indian lands and they are under the sole management of the , Indian governing bodies the tribal councils. It was only a few months ago that the attorney general of Oregon ruled that state motor vehicle regulations did not run in the Warm Springs reservation. Only the tribal council can ordain traffic regulations down there. . Let those facts sink into your mind and then nonder on Sec. 16 (a) of the new CVA bill, H.R. 4286, the opening clause of which reads : : The Administration may exercise any of its pow ers under this act, including the power of condem nation, with respect to Indian lands or property, irrespective of the manner; in which title to such lands or Drocerty is held. Those words would seem to make It quite clear that the interests back of the CVA are willing to violate Indian treaties under which reservation lands are held. However, we have said that H.R. 4286 was filled with double talk and so we call attention to Sec. 17 (b) which reads: Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to repeal or y . supersede the provisions of any . Treaty or impair the obligations thereof . Now go ahead and figure the thing out. It's beyond us. HE IMPROVED THE PARKS How many of the homes in Bend owe the loveliness of their immediate surroundings to C. H. Bishop's planning and gard ening skill it would be hard to say. Probably hundreds, for he has lived here or in the country nearby ever since Bend really started to become a city and in much of that time he has been putting in lawns, setting out shrubbery, making flower gardens and seeing to it that they throve and prospered. Over the past 10 years Charlie Bishop worked for all the people of Bend. He was park superintendent, responsible for the upkeep and beautif ication of cityeowned' tracts such as Drake and Pioneer parks, Shevlin park out on Tumalo creek, Brooks park and the flower bed near the west approach to the ' Newport avenue bridge and, later, Harmon field, which' is now emerging from the dust patch stage of its existence to become another attractive green border along the MiVror pond of the Deschutes. It was a real responsibility that Charlie Bishop carried and one which he discharged admirably in spite of the fact that, as often as not, there was a shortage of qualified help. The scope of his work increased from year to year but he managed to handle the added tasks somehow. Saturday, when he ended his long term of service with the citylie left to his successor a greatly improved park systembiie In which his employers could take increased pride, one in wnicn tney couia una me opportunity for increased pleasure. Washington Column Others Say TILE SCIENTIST AND ' , THE INDIANS V The decision of the Klamath Indians In general council to re fuse permission to Dr. L. S. Cressman to continue his scien tific research on the reservation probably sent a good many peo ple to their dictionaries. Action was taken after one of the Indi ans objected on the grounds that "anthropology" has to do with human bones, and the Indians don't want people prowling around their burial grounds. Our Funk and Wagnalls dic tionary defines anthropology thus: "The science of man in gen eral; the sciences of man; the the science of the physical facts concerning man, his development, history, geographical distribu tion, ethnology and culture." The Encyclopedia Americana . says: "Anthropology Is the name for a group of problems arising from inquiries into man's origin. As used in the United States and Kngland this name stands for the science that deals with these problems, but on the continent of Europe the tendency is to restrict the term anthropology to a study of man's body, particularly his bones." Further along, the en cyclopedia says: "At present it (anthropology) gives more atten tion to his man's) mode of life, or his culture." That is important in relation to the Klamath ques tion. From what we know of Dr. Grossman's investigations, they have hot been concerned with the human anatomy, but rather with prehistoric cultural manifesta tions. In particular, he Is trying to link the prehistoric cultures of the Klamath Indians with those of other Indian cultures whose evidences ho has discovered on Summer lake, In Callow vallev, and elsewhere In the South Cen tral Oregon region. Such things as what human life and culture existed before the eruption of Mt. Mazama, the blast which made Crater lake, are studied by the scientist. The work Is of such scientific Importance that it has received support from national founda tions and societies. Wo do not believe there Is any thing In Dr. Cressman's work that should be offensive to the sensibilities of Klamath Indians, and we DO think that those sen sibilities deserve consideration at all times. It Is to be hoped that Dr. Cressman is given opportu nity to explain his work and ob jectives to the tribesmen, and the explanation clears up all ques tions to the point that the Klam- aths will reserve their decision Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Files) FIFTEEN YEA KS AGO (April 21. 1931) Resignation of y.

By Peter Edson (NBA Wanlilwrton Correavunclent) Washington (NEA) Senate confirmation -of ex-Lleut.-Gov. Hugh W. Cross of Illinois as elev enth member of the . interstate commerce commission Justifies a fresh look at that stale, neglected body. It also warrants a closer look at Mr. Cross, and how he got in. . Commissioner Cross is a repub lican, but was backed for this ICC job by Sen. Scott Lucas of Illi nois, tne democratic majority floor leader. The key to Cross's nomination seems to be that Sen ator Lucas has to run for re-election to the senate in 1950. There have been rumors of some diffi culty about his being able to win. So in an apparent effort to build up political following among 111! nois republicans, Senator Lucas backed Mr. Cross for the ICC va. cancy caused by the death of Com. missloner George M. Barnard, This business of Senator Lucas getting any republican backing in Illinois is admittedly a neat politi cal trick If it can ever be done. Senator Lucas seems to have insisted that President Truman nominate Cross for this ICC Job. A number of other democratic senators, seriously cone e r n e d about the present sad state of the nation's railroads, had decided to back somebody who knew some thing about transportation. Pres ident Truman is suposed to have agreed. Yet when Senator Lucas insist ed on an Illinois republican ap pointee to further his own nnliti- cal Interests, Truman gave in to the wishes of his senate majority leader. The result Is appointment of a man who admittedly knows practically nothing about railroads. Commissioner Cross describes himself as a country lawyer and farmer. His family went to Illi nois from New Jersey over 100 years ago and Crosses have oper ated the same farm ever since. Commissioner Cross went to Uni versity of Illnois and was gradu ated in law in 1921. He was elect ed to the state legislature in 1932 and was re-elected three times. He served as speaker of the house his last term. Then he was elect ed lieutenant-governor in 1940 and re-elected In 1944. Commissioner Cross, may of course fool everyone and become the best man on the ice. But nis term expires Dec. 31, 1950, and it Is doubtful if he will know what It is all about by that time. He has never had a case before the ICC. The sum total of his rail road experience seems to be that he. has represented Chicago" A Alton In its local legal work in h.'r home town of Jerseyvllle, down near St. Louis. When tho senate commerce committee was "investigating" Cross's appointment, he was ques tioned for only 15 minutes, rran script of the investigation is most revealing. "I do regret," said republican Sen. Clyde Reed of Kansas, "that the president did not appoint a man with extensive experience in traffic and transportation, and with some understanding of the problems with which the ICC deals. It takes a man three or four years, if he has no more ex perience than you have got now, before he can properly perform the functions of his office." Republican Sen. Charles Tohey of New Hampshire inquired: "Has there arisen in your mind any great wonderment at the present situation of tho railroads?" "There has," Mr. Cross replied. That was the most and the last he had to say about his own ap pointment. "One of the gentlemen in this room made a remark a while ago, I obey continued, "that ICC efficiency is now at the lowest point In Its history. It will be our hope and our prayer that you can Improve this situation. I see no hope for Its betterment. I am pes simistic about it on the evidence today." What this all adds up to is. that the senate abdicated on its respon sibility to see that the president appoint better qualified men to high government office. It would rather play politics.

Gruesome Relics Seen in Olympia Justice Temple By Martin Heerwald (United fit Staff Correspondent) Olympia, April 21 In the base ment of the state's dignified tem ple ol justice here Is a room stacked high with a pile of Junk, mucn ol it a gruesome collec tion of murder exhibits. The room Isn't that way be cause the janitors never get around to straightening it out. The supreme court keeps it that way on purpose. The court keeps in this room such odds and ends as Jake Bird's axe, sawed-off shotguns, bludge ons, knives, hammers exhibits In 1 m-i i t- rv 1 1 tfia la that ended in the supreme court. II Archie Stewart, deputy clerk 1 1 of the supreme court, says The surprising thing about all this stuff is that none of it is worth anything." "it mignt De worm a lot io some collector, he says, dui from a standpoint of usefulness, it's not worth a thing." Not for bare But the state's not selling any of the collection. It's all marked and tagged and put away as part of the cases tried before the court. Among the items are two bolo gnives a GI brought back from the Philippines. He Kept me heavy one for himself and gave the lighter one to his wife. It's said they used to ; fence with them and became attached enough to their knives that they could have marked them "his" and "hers." But one dav the husband got mad at his fencing mate, took her knife and killed her with it. Stewart also pointed to a stack of rifles and ammunition used in Centralia's own little war at the end of the first world conflict. The American Legion and'IWW (Industrial Workers of America) were exchanging shots until the case ended in the supreme court. It Worked, Too But there are less awesome ex hibits, such as the hobby horse that would take steps forward as a child rocked back and forth on j it. It was a good idea and the horse worked fine. The supreme court got It when the inventor sold too many half interests to too many persons. The photos kept in the room hardlv are the type one would display on the fire place mantel. They're shots of such things as persons who have been bealen to death wllh claw hammers, strang led with a wire or shot with a sawed-off shot gun. For obvious reasons, Stewart says, the room is not open for visits from the general public. Tho average speed of the bowl ing ball traveling down the alley is about 30 miles an hour.
