Smiui By ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton has ordered "a thorough reexamina tion" of that curious Montana Indian bill which slipped through the Senate this past ses sion and wnicn offers an indica tion of what might happen to the Klamaths in years to come. The bill, S. 332, would con v e n i ently re peal a federal statute original ly designed in 1920 to protect the land holdings of the Crow Indians when they were granted freedom from fed eral supervision. The big land holders want the statute wiped off the books because it forbids anyone owning as much as 640 acres of farm land or 1,280 acres of grazing land to -acquire any additional Indian property from the old 2.000. 000-acre Crow res ervation. The landholders in the area got big by violating this statute openly for years, some times with jthe helo of the bu reau of Indian affairs itself. Favorable Report When Montana's venerable Democratic Senator James E. Murray has S. 332 quickly ap proved without hearings by the Senate Interior committee, which he heads, the Senate fol lowed suit by passing the meas ure with little discussion of its intent. Murray was aided in this by a favorable report from the interior department which was written in that interim period before Seaton took office and af ter Douglas McKay departed last year. The assistant secretary in charge of Indian affairs at that time was Wesley D'Ewart, GOP ex-congressman who had represented that part of Mon tana for many years in Congress. Seaton has now ordered D'E wart's successor, Roger Ernst, to investigate "the department's fa vorable report" and "to use ev ery appropriate departmental fa cility he might need in the in quiry." The secretary is taking a candid and courageous "let's get the cards on the table" atti tude. Pass Resolution Originally, interior and Sena tor Murray justified this bill by saying the Crow Indians had passed a resolution favoring it. They didn't mention that some large eastern insurance compa nies hold' mortgages that are now legally questionable but would be cleared by passage of this bill. The bill would do noth ing to restore rights or safe guards to the Indians, much less square them for the scalping they have been getting for years. Representative James A. Hal ey, Florida Democrat who heads the House subcommittee on In dian affairs, held a hearing at the Crow agency in October on S. 332, after becoming suspicious of its real intent. The hearing demonstrated two things: 1. The landholders had form ed an association and spent some 520,000 thus far to try to get the repeal bill passed. Besides trips to Washington, this money paid expenses of landholders who repeatedly went to see State Senator Paul Ringling, who hap pens to be Haley's son-in-law living in Montana. They denied, when Haley questioned them, that they had any thought of seeking Ringling's influence with the congressman. 2. All of the officers of the tribal council oppose the bill. To the landholders' claim that they didn't know about the acreage limitation in the 1920 act, the Indians said "ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating it." Edward Posey Whiteman, council chairman, said passage of the bill would put the Indians completely at the mercy of the big operators who want their property. Haley, who himself owns some livestock and land in Montana (his wife is from that state), didn't commit himself on the bill following the hearing. Probably the most influential factor in the outcome will be -the results of Seaton's investigation into how his department got lined up with the big landholders against the Indians, and his final decision on which side the government should take from here on out. Seaton has some hard deci sions to make concerning the Klamaths, mainly how to im plement his avowed intent to prevent a "fire sale" of the tribe's valuable pine forests if federal supervision of the Klam aths is terminated. His more im mediate decision on the Crow bill will indicate whether Seaton can withstand the pressure of those economic interests who stand to gain by short-changing the Indians. The Hollywood Scene By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer Hollywood OPI Ed Sulli van and Steve Allen have called off their rating feud to battle a common ene my, a pair of mav e r i c k s named Bret and Bart. Big surprise of the 1957-58 TV season is the way "Mav erick" has stolen the Vernon Scott thunder( and audience) from the two big va riety wheels. On the air only 11 weeks, the hour-long horse opera passed Al len in the 1 Trendex rating the second week out of the barn. It Your Medford Charge Plate l Good at ACME!

Now that it's out front, "Maver ick" is pulling away fast. Last Sunday it trounced Allen by eight points and Sullivan by five. The show scared Jack Benny by coming within seven digits of his show. Success of the new entry is credited to its rough and tumble stars, Jim Barner (Bret) and Jack Kelly( Bart), who are as roguishly hell - for - leather off screen as they are on the pro gram. Won't NeedLs Opposition Both are delighted their show is whipping the opposition, but they refuse to needle the slipping emcees. During lunch the big guys spent their time ribbing one another about Kelly joining the show six weeks after it went on the air. "Turning out an hour show on film was too much for one ac tor," Garner explained. "I was working 14 hours a day, and we were falling behind schedule. So we decided to write a brother 1 into the script." "That's his story,' Kelly put in brashly. "The ratings were lousy and they needed some real tal ent to pull it out of the hole." "He's crazy," Garner fired back. "We needed comedy relief, and believe me, Jack's funny in this role, even though the script doesn't call for laughs." "Just check the ratings," Kelly said. "The show didn't beat Allen until I joined up." Chide Each Other "Don't think I'm jealous or anything," Garner grinned, "I'm trying to help Jack along. He doesn't even know how to ride a horse." The boys fell to eating lunch, muttering vile things about one another. Asked who played the young er brother, they answered in chorus, "Me!" This led to anoth er explosive hassle. Warner Brothers Studio, which films the ABC-TV show, says Kelly is 30, Garner 29. Both stand over six feet tall. Garner might get the best of it in a free-for-all. He outweighs his TV brother by 20 pounds. If Warners decides to write more brothers into the script the studio might well consider Sulli van and Allen. They still have fairly large followings.
