Mohawk Indian Tribe Squats in Shadows
Of Modern Thruway To Reclaim Property
Fort Hunter. N. Y. 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.

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."
