THE NOBLE REDSKINS' MEMORIALS
Names of the two most famous American Indians of
the 19th century have been again on the front pages of
the nation s newspapers after a lapse or three quarters
of a century. They are Sitting Bull, chief of the Sioux,
and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces. '
The cause of their news resurrection is the belated de
sire, perhaps inspired by guilty conscience, to honor

by an appropriate shrine at Moonage, b.u.f a ciiamoer
of commerce project to attract tourists, and Chief Joseph
by a great dam on the CoiumDia river to supply Hydro
electric power for the development or. wnat was once nis
happy hunting grounds.
.
Time magazine thus sums up the story of Sitting Bull
"The western pilots produced few nobler redskins than Chief
Sitting Bull. last great leader oi tne aioux irioes. Jt was silling
Bull, driven to recmessness oy xne pemay oi xne u.o. govern
ment. who cried. "Let us have one big fight with the soldiers,'
end assemllled the awesome army, that wiped out General
George Custer and soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry at the
Battle of the Little iJig norn in ioo. eui i years later, con
quered by the forces of the Great White Father, Sitting Bull
was old, fat and quiet. One frosty morning In 1890, a detach
ment of Indian police galloped up to his cabin on the Sioux
reservation in South Dakota and shot him to death. He did
not die without a fight a pitiful handful of his old friends
battled the policemen, and 16 men were killed In the brutal
little fray."
.
Sitting Bull was buried In the deserted parade ground
at Fort Yates, and no attention was paid to his neglected
grave. Last fall 78-year-old Clarence Grey Eagle, who
had witnessed the chief's death, learning that the grave
was soon to be covered by water from the new Oahe
dam, got the people of Mobridge, S.D., to promise to build
a memorial if he moved the chief's remains across the
state line and reburied them near the town.
Five other towns also sought Sitting Bull's grave as a
tourist attraction. Montana wanted to rebury him at
the Custer cemetery though Custer is actually buried at
the West Point Military Academy. North Dakota sud
denly decided it prized Sitting Bull, and its governor re
fused to let the grave be opened.

Wily old Grey Eagle outwitted them. Both the old and new
burial sites are within Standing Rock Indian reservation, thus
on federal land. The secretary of the interior agreed to the
move and in blinding snowstorm Grey Eagle and a working
crew dug up his bones, hurried them in a truck across the
tate line, reburied them, covered the grave with 20 tons of
cement and stationed an armed guard nearby.
Mobridge is placing a bust of Sitting Bull by a well known
sculptor over the new grave.
.
The Nez Perce peace treaty was the cause that led to
that war. The faction led by Chief Joseph refused to sign
the treaty for the sale of their. Wallowa lands. They laid
claim to the boundary established by the treaty of 1855,
west of the Snake river.
President Grant had conceded it to the Nez Perces in
his executive order of June 16, 1873, but on June 10, 1875,
the order was revoked, the treaty broken and the land
restored to the public domain.
In 1877 the government ordered Chief Joseph and
his followers removed from the fertile Wallowa valley
to the reservation in Idaho, and General O. O. Howard
was ordered to remove them. They resisted and were
defeated in a deep ravine on the Clear Water.
On July 17, 1877, the famous retreat of Chief Joseph
began, followed by Howard's forces. General Gibbon, in
Montana started also in pursuit. On August 20 the In
dians stampeded Howard's pack train. General Phil Sher
idan reported:
"The fleeing Indians traveled some of the worst trails for
man on this continent. They gave battle to General Sturgis
near the mouth of Clark's Fork. They then proceeded north
toward the British possessions with the view of joining the
renegade Sioux with whom Sitting Bull was in hiding."
The Indians had successfully retreated 1000 miles, crossed
the Missouri river, and at the mouth of Eagle Creek in the
Bear mountain, within 50 miles of the British possessions,
were attacked by General Miles. As the fight was closing
September 30, General Howard came up and the entire band
surrendered to him and General Miles. Thus, said Sheridan,
"ended one of the most extraordinary Indian wars of which
we have any record."
Chief Joseph's Indians displayed a couraire. skill and
humanity that won the praise of their enemies. They
abstained from scalping, did not murder peaceful families
and lought with scientitic skill.
September 21, 1904, Chief Joseph died at 67 at the
Colville Indian reservation, where he wns exiled, sur
rounded by a few friends. A monument by the strtte of
Washington marks his grave.
Now a more enduring memorial is in progress of erec
tion on the Columbia below the Grand Coulee, a m-eat
dam, 285 feet high, 2315 feet in length, with a total vol
ume of 4,000,000 cubic yards of all materials, with a water
storage capacity ow 497,000 acre feet for power and flood
control that will perpetuate the name and fame of Chief
Joseph ns the noblest of northwest Indians.
f THE OTHER MOSCOW
To the United States as a whole there is only one
Moscow, and it has a sour smell indeed. But the Pacific
Northwest knows of another and entirely different tvpe
of Moscow, the home of the University of Ualio.
This Moscow has felt no little embarrassment in recent
years over the odium cast upon what was once a perfectly
creditnblo name, and there have been suggestions that
it should change its name. Always rejected, however,
and rejected again this past week when the Idaho Mos
cow staged a mammoth May Hay celebration with bands,
a parade, fireworks and all the et ccteras, rivaling the
Russian May Day in size and enthusiasm but with a very
different purpose.
The Idaho Moscow is to be admired for standing pat
on a name to which it is as much entitled as the bigger
center of world communism and which nftor nil
pretty much what any community makes it mean. Let
the Russian Moscow change if confusion develops.
Incidentally, the Idaho Moscow has worked out a neat
memoo oi avoiding name confusion locally. The Russian
Moscow's last syllable is pronounced to rhvmo with hnw
the Idaho Moscow to rhyme with hoe. This has pretty
well spread over Idaho. Naturally a mispronunciation
of either by a visitor to the Idaho Moscow is a "fox paw"

Washington Henry Grune
wald, the febulous dutchman,
seems to think I owe him an
apology. He complained to
congressmen the other day
about the tag of "mystery man"
which this column 'pinned on
him when I first began inves
tigating his mysterious connec
tions with high government officials.
Grunewald was being cross
examined by the house tax
fraud committee when he was
asked by Congressman Cecil
King, California democrat:
"What about this title of
'mystery man' that Drew Pear
son has given you?"
"That is a name that Mr.
Pearson invented himself,1
shrugged Grunewald.
"But In what way are you
offended by being referred to
as a 'mystery man' rather than
Dutchman or any other title
that a man of your note might
be tagged with?" King pressed
"Well, the only reason is, I
don't know why Mr. Pearson
might have taken it upon him
self to say that I am a mystery
man' because I live in the
Washington hotel, and all this
hullabaloo and so forth . . ." the
Dutchman fumbled.
"We couldn't find you for
while; we didn't know where
you were and we were look'
Ing for you," broke In Con
gressman Hale Boggs, Louis!
ana democrat. "That was kind
of mysterious."
"There has been consider
able mystery created here by
your testimony as to the na
ture of the services you per
formed for people, and the
source of all this cash that
seems to find its way into your
safe-deposit box," added the
committee's chief counsel, John
Tobin.
"I have noted," observed
King, "that you have a nick
name for Mr. Pearson. I didn't
get it clear, Mr. Grunewald
What is It you have called him
two times here?"
uruiy urew," piped ud
Grunewald.
"So for calling you 'mys
tery man," you have given him
the name of 'Druly Drew',"
chuckled the congressman from
California.
MYSTERY OF THE
"MYSTERY MAN"
I don't particularly blame
Henry Grunewald for being
sore at me. He's a nice little
guy, and If he hadn't pulled
wires in connection with so
many Important people, he
wouldn t merit public com
ment. When you ao around
witn Big-shots, however, or
iry xo pu.i wires or peddle in-
fluence, the rule of the Amor.
lean system is that you subject
yourseu xo puDllc scrutiny.
nowever. it Hcnrv Omni..
wald isn't mysterious, then i
aon t write a newspaper col
umn. The manner In which I
first ran across his amatihg
machinations is in itself quite
a story.
Henry first bobbed ud on mv
news horizon when I was prob
ing me wire-topping of How
ard Hughes by Police Lieuten
ant Joe Shimon on behalf of
henntor Brewster and Pan
American Airways. The fact
mat tne telephone of an Amer
ican businessman should be
tapped on behalf of rival
American businessmen to me
smacked a bit of Moscow, and
in iracxing down these varl
ous angles it developed that
Lieut. Shimon used to report
BY DREW PEARSON
on his wire-tapping to a man
named "The Dutchman" in the
Munsey building.
The Dutchman s" office was
traced to a law suite occupied
by an attorney named Ed Mar
tin who claimed the office
once was occupied by Grune
wald but that Grunewald had
moved away. He knew noth
ing about him.
But the minute Jack An
derson of my staff was out of
the door, however, Martin
hastily picked up the phone
and called guess who? Sen
ator Bridges of New Hamp
shire. "A guy named Ander
son," he said, "was 'up here
looking lor Henry."
That was the first link be
tween Grunewald and Senator
Bridges.
Later that day, Ed Martin,
the man who said he didn't
know Grunewald, loaned Gru
newald his car and the mys
terious Dutchman left for The
Plains, Va., to hide out for a
month. This was at the time
a senate committee was look
ing for him. This may not
"mysterious," as Henry now
claims, but at least it's inter
esting. ,
MYSTERIOUS HOTEL ROOM
Meanwhile, this column,
looking for the man who
doesn't like to be called mys
terious, found that he used a
suite registered in the name
of ex-secretary of war Harry
Woodring in the Washington
hotel. However, he wasn't
there. One night, trying to find
Henry, Jack Anderson
knocked on the door at 3 a.m.,
and a somewhat rumpled, def
initely Irate, bald head was
poked out. It turned out to be
William Power Maloney, Gru-
newald's attorney, and an old
friend of mine.
On another occasion, Max
Halperin was discovered in the
hotel suite Grunewald usually
occupied. Halperin blandly
claimed ignorance of the
Dutchman or his whereabouts.
Recently he refused to answer
questions about tax-fixing on
the ground of self-incrimina
tion.
Finally Grunewald was dis
covered, in his Virginia Hide
out, came back to Washington,
was hauled before the senate
wire-tap investigating com
mittee, talked so little that a
majority of the senators voted
to cite the Dutchman for con
tempt. However, important
friends suddenly came to his
rescue among them Sen. Joe
McCarthy.
McCarthy pulled such effec
tive wives with republican sen
aicr thai they brought In a
minority whitewash report,
and at that time Grunewald
was never cited.
Meanwhile this column
raked up the highly interest
ing fact that Senator Bridges,
who wasn't supposed to know
Grunewald, had Introduced
bill In the senate to Increase
the salary of Charles Ollphant,
then counsel of Internal rev
enue and the man both Bridges
and Grunewald were working
with re the huge $7,000,000
tax-fraud case of Hyman Klein,
Baltimore liquor dealer. It was
the New Hampshire senator
who had put Klein In touch
with Grunewald.
HENRY A VEEP
It took lot of checking and
double-checking to track down
all the mysterious connections
of the non-mysterious Dutch
man.
One call this column put
through to Grunewald's office
thanks to obtaining his pri
vate phone number brought
the off-guard remark from his
secretary: "He (Grunewald) is
up at Vice President Barkley's
office. Try him there.".
Later it developed that Gru
newald could count the Veep
among the potent and amazing
circle of friends he knew on
Capitol Hill democrats as
well as republicans to say
nothing of such key officials
as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue George Schoeneman
and Deputy Commissioner Dan
Bolich, who bought $30 shirts
and shared Henry's room in
the Washington hotel.
There's a lot more to the
Grunewald story, of course, in
cluding the spaghetti dinner?
cooked in the apartment of
C o m m 1 ssloner Schoeneman
and the big chunks of non-mys
terious revenue running up to
$100,000 which Henry received
under the heading of race
track winnings."
Maybe these are not mys
terious. But at least they make
an interesting part of one of
the most interesting gentle
men ever to pull a wire in or
around this sometimes pulled-
apart nation s capital.

The state of Oregon has

might be considerable merit in
such a proposal. As it is, all

good records for not having

It is noteworthy that the in

FOR COURSES
IN MARRIAGE
Corvallis Gazette-Times
Dr. Henry A, Bowman, of
Stephens college at Columbia,
Mo,, specialized in teaching
matters directly linked to mar
riage, which no doubt makes
him popular at this college for
women. He is now on a big
campaign to get other colleges
to set up formal courses in
matrimonial subjects.
Only five per cent of the
country's two and a half mil
lion college students "are be
ing exposed to marital
courses," he mourns. "A
beachhead has been establish
ed in marriage education in
the colleges," he concedes
using warfare metaphors for
marriage discussion in the usu
al married-man tradition
"but the great bulk of the
battle and the victory still lie
ahead."
Dr. Bowman is not the first
nor the last zealot for "sen
sible" marriage, and if he can
put courtship on an intellec
tual basis, with swain and
maiden using yardsticks on
each other before turning on
their emotional faucets, more
power to him.
