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.

South Korea's Foreign Minis ter Pyun Yung Tal hailed Hull's stand as "just right." Hull reiterated the U.N. com mand's position in a strongly worded letter to Lt Gen. K. S.
