Minneapolis, Minn.'- TOPB -A Sioux Indian said Wednesday night he will offer to sell nine million acres of oil rich land in North Dakota to Soviet Russia if the U. S. gov ernment refuses to help his people. Al La Fontaine, head of the Indian Trades Council here, earlier telephoned the Soviet Embassy in Washington to plead for a loan.' But he changed his plans and decided to sell because "I'm not going to the Russians and beg." La Fontaine contends that the land, comprising about one-third of North Dakota, legally belongs to the Indians because it was never turned over to the U. S. government by treaty. Will Ask for Bids He promised America first chance t the acreage in the state s . north-central section. If the government turns him down, La Fontaine warned he will ask the ' Russians for bids on North Dakota. La Fontaine plans to lead a delegation of Indians to Wash ington Saturday and hopes to appear personally before the House and Senate to demand government aid in "putting industries on the reserva tions." "When I get to Washington I'm going to file a claim un der a special claims commis sion for nine million acres in North Dakota," he said. "These fellows think it's a joke. But I'm not fooling." Congressman Lauds Dictator Trujillo Ciudad Trujillo, D- R.-tUPB-Rep. Dona Jackson (R-Calif.), has likened Dominican Gen eralissimo Rafael I. Trujillo to "the strong men of our U. S. history." Jackson and Rep. Gardner Withrow (R-Wis.), who con gratulated the Dominicans on their "peace and prosperity," were guests at a special joint session of the Dominican Con gress Wednesday. The California representa tive noted that Trujillo is known abroad as the Domini can "strong man." "The history of all nations of the worldV. is a reflection of men who were strong," he said. "We in the United States respect the strong men of our own history."

Mr. and Mrs. Clark Stillion gave a bill of sale for the twins to policewoman Mrs. Lanny Dixon and juvenile of ficer Robert E. Brumley Wednesday. The officers promptly arrested the couple. The twins were the sons of Mrs. Stillion, a blonde who said she was from England. Have Two Daughters The Stillions also have two daughters, Nancy, 4, and Tina, 3. Mrs. Stillion said she and the father of the twins were PRETTY GOOD Oslo CUPD Cabinet maker Casper Caspersen, accused of stealing paintings by famed Norwegian artist Edward Munch, was found innocent after he painted a near-perfect facsimile of one of Munch's works in court. British radio industries em ploy 135,000 workers. divorced in England in 1953. She then married; Stillion while he was stationed in England with the Air Force, and came to this country with him. The policewoman said she received a report Wednesday that a couple was "trying to give away some children." Posing as a childless couple, Mrs. Dixon and Brumley traced the Stillions through a description and the report that the mother was a "foreigner." Simply Seeking Home The policewoman said the couple told them they "didn't want to go through all the trouble of going to court for the children and asked us how much money we needed to clear out of here and re turn to my husband's home in Franklin, Mich." Mrs. Dixon said "we told them $500." Mrs. Stillion complained, "You would think I had com mitted the worst crime in the world. I was simply trying to find someone who would adopt the children because we couldn't take care of them." Benson Suggests Migrant Worker Development Plan Washington -UPD- Secretary . of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben son suggested today that a rural development program or low-income migrant farm workers might improve their efficiency and living condi tions. Benson raised the possibil ity in a message to the open ing session of a two-day con ference sponsored by the Na tional Advisory Committee on Farm Labor. "In many cases,' Benson said, "these people don't have skills and training to secure non-agricultural employ, ment. If agriculture employ ment were not available, some of them might be de pendent on various types of welfare programs." Action urged Along this line, 10 Demo cratic congressmen urged Congress in a joint statement to do something to raise the wage and living standards of two million poor farm work ers and their families. The lawmakers were Reps. Frank Thompson Jr. "(N.J.), Lee Metcalf (Mont.), James Roosevelt (Calif.), Jojm Blat nik (Minn.), Thomas L. Ash ley (Ohio), George M.. Bailey (W. Va.), and Charles O. Por ter, (Ore.). The co-chairman of the farm labor conference, Frank Graham, former Democratic senator from North Carolina, said ' the sessions were de signed to focus public atten tion on the plight of "forgot ten" farm hands. Speakers will try to dis cover why hired farm work ers received an average an nual wage of $892 in 1957, below the level the Labor Department says is required for subsistence, Graham said. The need for minimum fed eral standards on wages, hours, housing, health and transportation will be explor ed, he added.
