Klamath Indians
Warned of No
Special Favors
- Tribe Members Would
Be on Same Footing
As Other Citizens
By JAMES D. OLSON I
Governor Paul L. Patterson
Monday warned members of the
Xlamath Indian tribal council
that if legislation now pending in
Congress removing federal cen
tral and benefits from the trile.
the members af the tribe would
be aa the same footing as any
other cititea and could aol ex
pect special privileges.
Boyd Jackson, a member of the
tribal council had told the gov
ernor's committee on Indian af
fairs that bis people expected
some property tax exemptions as
well as income tax exemptions for J
older members of the tribe. I
Want Wailing Period
Jackson also said that the mem
bers of the tribe wanted a wait
ing period between the time that
the government relinquishes con
trol of the tribe until the mem
bers are on their own, in order
to better prepare-themselves for
self-management
Governor Patterson said that be
had serious doubts if the legisla
ture could be convinced that one
set of citizens, regardless of what
the set is composed of, should
have special privileges.
No State Machinery
"There is no state machinery to
take over the Indians and attempt
to perform in the manner the fed
eral government is doing," the
governor added. "I don't believe
that the legislature could be in
clined to set up a state depart
ment of Indian affairs."
It was brought out at the meet
ing that revenue: derived from
the sale of timter by members of
the tribe was paying all adminis
trative costs with the result that
the federal government is nor
expending any funds on the Kla
math Indians.

commander. Gen. John E. Hull,
today blamed the communists for

ilication that all anti-Red prison
ers will be freed at midnight Jan

To drive home the UNC de
mand that the captives be re-
leased "as of 12:01 a. ra. January
23," U.S. Marines and engineers
began stringing miles of barbed
wire fences to channel the pris
oners from neutral lone com
pounds to rail heads.
South Korea's Foreign Minis

stand as "just right."
Hull reiterated the U.N. com
mand's position in a strongly
worded letter to Lt Gen. K. S.

The U.N. commander blasted

WASHINGTON HI The Su
preme Court Monday upheld the
right of motion picture distributors
to deny first-run films to neighbor
hood theaters with limited draw
ing power.
The decision rejected contentions
of the Crest Theater in Baltimore,
which had sought anti-trust dam
ages from eight major distributors.
Crest charged conspiratorial ac
tion by the eight in refusing to
license first run pictures to it. The
distributors denied any conspiracy
and said their refusal was the re
sult of independent judgment in
solving a common business prob
lem.
Justice Clark delivered the 71
decision." Justice Black .disserted
and Justice Douglas took no part.
Clark said there was no direct
evidence of Illegal agreement be
tween the distributors and that if
the Crest Theater were to receive
first runs its license from the dis
tributers would have had to have
been an exclusive one. That is, no
other theater in Baltimore or the
suburbs could have shown the
same picture at the same time.

"AU tney have to do," said one
official, "is see that the Americans
get to Hong Kong. The British in

there."
That la the way Arnold Kiehn,
44-year-old China-born American
busineas man, got to Hong Kong

Shanghai jail, the department
noted when asked for comment on
statements Kiehn made. -
Kiehn told newsmen he believes
Red officials want to free dozens
of other foreign prisoners but think
they can't leave China, because
their passports have expired. He
said he was certain others would
be released if their governments
would obtain Hong Kong transit
visas.
