PORTLAND. Ore., Jan,. 25
<UN) — Klamath Indiana, reput­
ed to be the secopd wealthiest
tribe in America, must content
themselves with governm ent^llo-
cations of funds, rather than own,
control and manage to their lik ­
ing valuable w h ite' pine timber
claims on the reservation.
The United States government
was upheld today in Ita refusal
to turn over these claims to the
Indians by a decision handed
down by Federal Judge Bean In
■lx test cases tried last month at
the Medford court term.
The decision has a far reaching
effect on the government policy
on Indian reservations and will
spve the government vast sums
of money and conserve these valu­
able timber claims, in the opinion
of United States Attorney George
A. Neuner.
