Coast Indians I
To Split Jackpot
In Federal Money
By Lorry Lokey
(United Preu Stuff Currcupondent)
Portland. Jan. 13 tin --Many
"vanishing" Americans are going
to reappear to claim a share in a
$16,515,603 jackpot assigned to
descendants of lour Oregon In
dian tribes, it was Indicated to
day. - .
The U. S. court of claims has
awarded money to the descend
ants of the Tillamook, Coquille,
Chetco, and Too Too To Ney
tribes, for the ancestral lands
they abandoned 100 years ago un
der terms of a treaty negotiated
by Indian agent Gen. Joel Pal
mer. The $16,000,000 giveaway is a
belated payment by the U. S. gov
ernment to the heirs of warriors
who were transferred from their
. traditional hunting home along
the southwestern coast of Oregon
to northern Oregon.
The payment will be divided on
a pro-rata basis among the true
and rightful descendants of the
disDossessed tribes. The rub,
however, is In finding the true
and riehtful descendants.
"We had one man' come here
this week who was fair-skinned
red-haired, and blue-eyed," said
Dr. Henry Roe Cloud, regional
representative for the (Jrand
Ronde and Siletz reservations.
"I'm an Indian myself, but I
would never have known this man
was part Indian."
Dr. Roe Cloud received another
letter which read: ; .
"Please forward money if any
there to me at this address, as I
am in very much in need of it."
Another letter read: "I "would
like information on the money the
Indians are to get. Mv mother
was Rosie Bob of the Tillamook
tribe. That wasn't her maiden
name."
During lengthy litigation over
the Indian claims, it was estab
lished that "occupation and use
of the land constituted owner
ship" by the four tribes, despite
the fact that the U. S. senate
never ratified Gen. Palmer's
treaty.
Every man, woman, and child
who can prove his blood lineage
to the original "owners" of coast
al lands occupied by the tribes in
the Port Orford-Coos Bay area of
Oregon will receive an equal
share in the $16,000,000 pot.
The tribes were awarded money
on this basis: Tillamooks, $7,008,
276; Conuilles, $4,485,375; Chet
cos, $2,581,552; and Too-Too-To-Nevs,
$2,440,400.
"Lineage proof will be hard to
get," said Rr. Roe Cloud. "During
the past four generations, many
of the Indians have inter-married
with members of other Indian
tribes and with white men and
women.
"We have heard about possible
claimants that live in Oklahoma,
California, Pennsylvania. Mis
souri, Oregon, and Washington.
Some are in the armed services."
Only a few will actually become
wealthy from the pay-on. nut
most of the "true and rightful"
heirs will find it well worth- their
while to apply even if they have
blue eyes and red hair.
Opera Corny, But Still Good Music, Disc Jockey Declares

In Plane Crash
Tajo in large doses to a large
radio audience and tney like it.
His name is Reuben A. Brad
ford. He is the script writer and
disc jockey for a weekly radio
show "Opera Once Over Light
ly" broadcast over Dallas radio
station wrAA,
Bradford doesn't tamper with
the music. But in between each
aria comes a commentary that
would make Guiseppe Verdi's
shade raise an eyebrow.
Kacy Advice
When Bradford opened his 1949
series of programs on the Tues-
Long Beach, Calif., Jan. 13 IP
Two air force reservists gave
their lives piloting their crippled
training plane to a crash landing
to avoid smashing into north
Long Beach homes.
Three other crew members on
the twin-engined . AT-11 Beech
craft suffered shock and minor
Injuries as the plane grazed a
house top before ramming into a
street and exploding into flame.
Dead were the pilot, Capt.
Maurice C. Dennison, 28, Long
Beach, and his co-pilot, 2nd Lt.
Charles J. Knee, 24, Los Angeles.
Navigator 1st Lt. J. Medina,
Los Angeles, and Cpl. F. M. Berg
er and Pvt. E. Q. Robinson, both
of Glendale, Calif., were treated
at naval hospital here for shock.
Medina also suffered cracked ribs
and first degree burns.
The airmen, all members of the
729th bombing squadron, had just
taken off on a routine training
flight from the reserve training
center here when the plane appar
ently developed engine trouble.
While Dennison and Knee
searched feverishly for a' clear
spot for a landing in the heavily-
populated area the craft quickly
lost altitude.
Mrs. C. A. Partridge said she
heard the plane's engine "sputter
ing and I knew it was going to
crash.
'I braced myself against the
kitchen wall," she said. "I heard
an explosion, and the whole
house shook."
Other witnesses said they saw
the plane swerve to avoid clusters
of homes. Two parked autos
were damaged in the crash.
No civilions were injured, and
the fire was extinguished without
further damage.
New Drug May
Aid Alcoholics
Philadelphia. Jan. 13 '" A
nnwdrue which may help alcohol
ics refrain from intoxicants was
under study at Lankenau hospital
today.
The drug, totraethylilhuram di
sulfide, makes liquor physically
repulsive to some alcoholics, Dr.
Nicholas Padis said.
Emphasizing that the now drug
is "by no means a cure for alco
holism." Dr. Padis said that clin
ical tests show "it can set up a
violent reaction in alcoholics who
drink whiskey after daily dosages
of the medicine."
The drug must be taken daily
to be effective and it must be ad
ministered under the close super
vision of a physician, he added.
Some researchers have reported,
however, that it caused liver or
bone-marrow damage, he said.
day before the Metropolitan opera
aired its radio opener, he counsel
ed his unseen audience:
"So you don't like opera. Then
get back with your racing form.
But if you will hold the deal just
a couple of minutes, I might show
you where you are passing up a
cinch bet.
"If you have an idea this opera
racket is an old ladies' pink tea
party, or something kicked
around by only the panty-waist
era stories are usually about two
jumps ahead of the sheriff's
posse.
Music Stressed
"Opera is merely a collection of
the world's finest noises surround
ed by the world's silliest stories.
When you break these tales down
to the tent-show scripts which
they really are, take off the
ermine wraps, the ' pear-shaped
Ice, the apparent snobbery, there's
nothing left but some real fine
boys, you are in for a big upset ! tunes. If you like music, the rest
on your dope, me Doys ana gins you can forget.

on "Samson and Deli-
"The story is not hard to fol
low," he said. "It's merely the tale
of a big strong boy called Samson
who needed a haircut, and a sweet
dish known as Delilah, who knew
her way around with a pair of
clippers. Incidentally, she is the
only lady barber mentioned in all
operatic literatures."
Compliments Come In
He was off to a good start and
before the half-hour program had
ended the radio station had an
swered more than a dozen compli
mentary calls from listeners who
had never appreciated opera before.
Iast year Bradford received a
reprimand from a listener in Colo
rado Springs, Colo., who enjoyed
hearing recordings of "La Bo
heme" but flinched at the com
mentary. The fragile little Texan offered
an apology, but grinned as he re
read a letter from Milton Cross.
"You may get some prudes who
will object to having their grand
opera taken for a ride . . , but
you will Indirectly be acquaint
ing many with the opera stories
in your clever and amusing way."
Plot Lampooned
The president of the Cincinnati
Opera Guild once asked Bradford
for a recording of his comment to
take to a meeting. T - -
Encouragement given by Cross
and other opera lovers prompted
Bradford to lampoon "those corny
plots" . with even more . - slangy
comment.
He referred to the consumptive
Violetta in Verdi's ''La Traviata"
as a "cutie with a cough who was
in .business for herself." The hero,
Alfredo, was "a sweet lad from
the sticks who goes plum all out
for VI."
"Rigoletto," according to Brad
ford, was a joker whose job was
"to amuse the Duke and the best
way to do that is to keep his little
black book supplied with hot tele
phone numbers."
Springfield Faces
Recall Election
Springfield, Jan. 13 IP A peti
tion for the recall of Springfield
Mayor B. P. Larson today was on
file at the city hall.
U. S. Burt, chairman of the
Springfield Good Government
league, filed the petition charg
ing Mayor Larson with failure to
fulfill campaign promises, failure
to cooperate with city employes
and citizens, and failure to com
ply with the mandate of the vot
ers at the June 24, 1949, election.
In addition, the petition stated
that the mayor's conduct "clearly
demonstrates that he lacks the
qualifications essential to proper
ly occupy and" conduct an office
of confidence."
At least 352 signatures are
needed to force a recall election
in the fast-growing timber city.
Burt said petitions with space for
2,000 signatures probably would
be in circulation Monday.
