Harm Nichols, Color-Blind,
r Sees Colored Television Prevue
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Jan. 14 (U.R) Why the boss ever sent a practic
ally color-blind guy to cover the first public showing of color
television is beyond me.
I'm color-blind. Close to it, anyway.
The Columbia Broadcasting system put on a live color program
In the lobby of the Walker bulla-
Jng. Eight sets were tuned in
and the folks were handed a
questionnaire. They were asked
to say whether they liked It or
not.
Reception was clear and the
eolor was as good as technicolor
movies, everybody said.
The thing started off with
marionettes representing!
"Tweedle Dum" and "Tweedle
Pee."
Then a blonde who said she
was Patty Painter came on and
the color parade was In prog-
She presented what looked
like a pink tan, out the man in
the bow tie next to me said it
was a red one. She showed a
black veil, which was easy to
Identify, but the one she said
was green looked a little blue
green to me.
I could tell the pretty lady's
fir arpr nails had hppn riinnpri in
rea because they looked pink.

come mostly In red
The bunch of mixed roses was
not soneasy, however. Luckily
the lady kept up a running com
mentary which irientlftpri them
as pink, red, yellow, and burnt
orange.

After an imaffin.irv fliirtit
around the world with a show
of colored maps, the gals on the
show Dut on a fashion nip Tt
was a splash of the rainbow and
the man in the bow tie whisper
ed that the first vouni ladv a
blonde, was dressed in a gamutl
mat ran irom yellow to green
to Diack.
A brunette in n rirpcs that
couldn't have been anything but
yeuow gam she had on a red
coat and red shoes, not to men
tion red gloves.
After the show, I tagged one
of the "men-on-the-street" who
had been siven a frpp tiMrpt
the performance. His name was
Henry Behlert, an elderly retir
ed employe of the civil service
commission.
He said he and his lady have
not yet bought a set but plan to
uun.
He never aA ,i
to, , cu television
color but was willing to fill
out a questionnaire for me He
wrote dawn that color is much
more enjoyable than black and
white and that the quality was
excellent. The "brightness" of
the pictures, he allowed, was
"just about right" and the clear
ness of detail was dandy.
"I did see a few defects," he
said. "We saw a few flashes or
shimmers on the set I was look
ing at, but I assume that was
technical and will be ironed out.
The overall quality, though, was1
excellent. In fact, I'm kind of
sold."

$16 Million Jackpot for Oregon
Indians Finds Many Takers
By LORRY LOKET
Portland, Jan. 14 (U.B Many "vanishing" Americans are going
to reappear to claim a share in a $16,515,603 jackpot assigned
to descendants of four Oregon Indian tribes, it was Indicated
today.
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
under terms of a treaty negotiat
ed by Indian Agent Gen. Joel
Palmer.
The $16,000,000 giveaway is a
belated payment by the U.S.
government to the heirs of war
riors 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 dispossessed tribes. The
rub, however, is in finding the
true and rightful 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 Grand
Ronde and Siletz reservations.
"I'm an Indian myself, but I
would never have known this
man was part Indian."
""'Vr'C' T "'" '" 'i "' 'V " ........
I ....-; -fan- AC..M.....,U,..Ai,-.J v.
Dr. Roe Cloud received an
other 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. My
mother was Rosie Bob of the
Tillamook tribe. That wasn't
her maiden name."
. During lengthy litigation over
the Indian claims, it was estab
Iished 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. Palmers
treaty.
Every man, woman and child
who can prove his blood lineage
to the original "owners" of
coastal 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: Tillamook,
$7,008,276; Coquille, $4,485,375;
Chetcos, $2,581,552; and Too-Too-To-Neys,
$2,440,400.
...
"Lineage proof will be hard to
get," said Dr. Roe Cloud. "Dur
ing 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 pos
sible claimants that live in Okla
homa, California, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Oregon, and Washng-
ton. Some are In the armed
services."
Only a few will actually be
come wealthy from the pay-off.
But most of the "true and right
ful" heirs will find It well worth
their while to apply even If
they have blue eyes and red
I hair.

The publication of these books
was limited to 400. They are
now being delivered or are in
the hands of the retail and serv
ice establishments of this area.
These Red Books will speed credit
authorization on nominal purchases, and
make it much easier for you to identify
yourself in the opening of new accounts. "We
congratulate you on the splendid way your
record shows in this book.
Here are what we consider interesting statistics on the
information contained in this book. There were more
than 156,000 account survey slips filled out by the credit
personnel of cooperating establishments. It took a staff of
six field workers and 22 clerks three months to make the con
tacts for the survey and processing the survey slips to combine
the
paying record as shown by the merchants. 280,000
sheets of paper weighing 1,475 pounds were used
in printing the books. The ledger survey slips
would make a stack as tall as a three-story
building, and laid end to end, make a
strip eleven miles long.
The credit volume involved in
the transactions is estimated at
more than 8,000,000. The 51,
900 names listed in the book repre
sent families composed of more than
150,000 people who use their credit in
dealing in this area.
'All of this new information, of course, is now
rapidly going into the reporting files of the bur
eau to be available to the credi t grantors of the com
munity when they call for credit reports. It will re
quire 75 days of filing to get this information in file, and
requires much additional filing space to house the infor
mation.
Seventy-five per cent of the nation's business is done on credit,
and with the swing more and more to credit, particularly in retail
sales, this is the first of a series of programs sponsored by the Salem
Credit Association and the Credit Bureau of Salem, to make this trade
area a better place to do a credit business, both from the viewpoint of
the seller and the buyer.
