Fred Seaton Orders Reexamination
Of Curious Montana Indian Bill
(f '
A.
Robi. 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.

took six weeks to catch Sullivan.
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.
