W The Mohawk Indians are back in the i valley where their ancestors slew many a white man. But not a tomahawk is showing. This time, the Indians will fizht their battles under "the whiie man's laws" and, if neces sary, they'll even go to the Unit ecPNations. The 1957 Mohawk "raiders" have picked a spot in the shadow of the New York State thruway. far that's been neither a prob lem to them or to the authorities. The Indians can't be seen from the heavily-traveled superhigh way. The Mohawks claim about 8.000 acres along Schoharie Creek, near this village, on the ground that the land was never told to the white man or covered by treaties. One state official in Albany admitted he doesn't think the state owns the land. But there is farmer Frank Buckman, who holds the deeds. Buckman be lieves the Indians are "squat ters." More Indians Due Some 35 to 40 chiefs, braves, squaws and papooses have set up housekeeping in a few tee pees and tents in the creek-side fields. More are due to arrive. They don't have much some their tribal regalia, a few tables and an old canoe. A couple of the men have jobs on the thru way. Others were reported to have gleaned a few dollars from curiosity-minded tourists. But the Mohawks are deter mined to make new homes for their families on their old lands. A longhouse is under construc tion so they can worship. In the midst of the teepees stands that familiar item of the white man's culture a baby car riage. The reason for the Mohawk migration is the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Indians contend it has "destroyed" parts or all of the reservations in northern New York and Canada to which they were shunted many years ago. Believe in Right They didn't like the reserva tions, anyway. They got little or no compensation for being "dis placed." And they're convinced they have the right to return to the valley bearing their tribal name. 20 Years Enough For Judge's Chair Detroit (W The job of Probate Judge Ernest C. Boehm should be a little softer in the future. Boehm said he's finally going to get rid of the 20-year-old brok en down green chair from which he dispenses justice each day. "The chair," says Boem, "is worn out on the bottom and so low the attorneys can't see me behind the bench. Besides. I get stiff whenever I set in it for any length of time." It was used by Judges Patrick H. O'Brien and Edward Com mand before Boehm inherited it when he took office this yeai;. The Wayne County auditor lis tened to Boehm'a story and au thorized him a new chair. He shdilld get a good one, too. He can spend up to $150 on it. In 1766 Rhode Island enacted laws fofthe "preservation of the oyster" to keep the coastal oy ster beds from being scraped bare. Spokesman for the Mohawks is a 24-year-old. 210-pound chief named Standing Arrow, who heads the Turtle Clan. He goes bare-chested and wears a single white feather in his hair. "AH we want is to live here in peace, to be our own indepen dent people as we used to before the white man came." Standing Arrow said. "We are friendly people. We don't come now with tomahawks and spears. Now we will use the white man's laws." He said that "when the white man began burning our villages and raiding our people at night we turned northward. "We settled in the northern part of the state and in Canada. Then came reservations where the Indians were herded together in lands they did not like." Broke His Promise The white man, he said, "broke his promise in these treaties when he took them (the lands) from us and paid us nothing." State police check daily to see that thruway property is not ob structed. They "say the Indians are "minding their own busi ness." What visitors there have been have had to reach the In dian settlement over a half-mile footpath. "If the state government does not give us what we want, then we are prepared to go to the United Nations assembly," de clared Standing Arrow. He expects more Indians at the camp each day. Some who have left the reservations have found jobs in cities and visit the Mohawk "village" on week ends. The Turtle chief has a stack of documents of 18th Century treaties, pamphlets on codes of the six nations and letters writ ten to government officials about the Mohawks' plight. o f Be Sure to Have Plenty of j For the 4th of July ' i BIG 6:01. 0 tl' pfe- l j ' 3 BAGGER" ' lg l ' picxicbox ?H Wiesenberger Report Tells Proper Amount Of Stocks To Buy By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York W The Wiesen berger investment report today recalls what J. P. Morgan said r75jS8fc.Tf to.his friend w n o was c a r r y ing so many stocks "I can't sleep nights." Said Morgan: "Sell them down to the sleeping point." Elmer Walzer That, of course, brings up the question of where is the sleeping point. How much should one be in vested? The Wiesenberger report says one should be zero invested at bull market highs, 100 per cent invested at market lows like those of July, 1932 and April, 1942, and 70 per cent invested at the present time. Three Factors The report notes three factors contributing to and tending to establish the level of stock prices the economic, monetary and psychological. The firm has plotted graphs of all three of these and one in volving the group which it calls the empathy index, the first three letters standing for econ omic, monetary and psychologi cal. The average or normal level of this index is 100. The high or selling level is 130. The buying level is 70. The index at present is below im in constituted evidence of an pending sizable recession stock prices. It has fluctuated in a narrow range for nearly two years. The firm finds oniy one factor bearing on the stock market that is truly bearish, and that is the monetary factor. Not Overloaded The practical consideration for the investor from an exami nation of the empathy index is that he can find justification for an equity position in the facts that the market is not drastically overvalued and that the business situation does not yet appear vulnerable to a major decline, says the Wiesenberger pamphlet. Noting that some reserve posi tion is justified the letter notes: "The 70 per cent-30 per cent investors can thus in a very real sense, have his cake and eat it too, and like Morgan's friend, sleep well at night." 4. . - V- RISING ABOVE TEST SITE, fireball from latest nuclear detonation illumines skies ovsr Nevada.
