No. 10970
Liquidation
Issue Basis
Of Action
With anti-liquidation forces tak
ing control, the Klamath Indian
Tribal council in aeaaion at the
Agency yeaterday voted to recall
Wade Crawford as tribal delegate
to Washington, D. C, and to cancel
his authority.
Crawford, leader of the movement
to have the reaervaUon liquidated
under terms of a bill now in con
gress, promptly declared in Wash
ington that the council'a action was
irregular and that he would disre
gard it.
xne council yesterday also voted
to recall June Poltras. a supporter
of the Crawford liquidation move
ment, as secretary and member of
the trjbal loan board. Mrs. Poltras
also challenged the method of re
moval and asserted she would de
mand an Investigation of the activi
ties against ner.
Climaxed Controversy
The tribal council action yester
day climaxed a developing contro
versy on the reservation over the
liquidation measure and over the
administrative activities of Super-'
intendent B. O. courtrlgnt. and on
Its face Indicated a victory for
Courtiight's supporters and the
liquidation opposition.
Seldon Kirk, chairman of the
general council, said that the recall
of Crawford was based on the fact
he has been pressing for liquida
tion in disregard of instructions
from the tribal council. He declared
Crawford waa charged with in
subordination and wilful disregard
of interest of the tribe.
Crawford, who Is in Washington,
was sent a telegram today from the
Agency, cancelling his authority,
and tribal officials said no further
pay will be granted him except his
travel fare home.
Backed Issue
Mre. Poltras was recalled on the
Sounds that while .employed, as a
an board member, she was adro-'
eating liquidation of the reservation
contrary to previous council action,
and she also voted and advocated
abollahment of the loan board and
"wanted to oust the superintendent.M
Mrs, Poltras appeared some weeks
ago in Washington before a con
gressional committee and urged
aboliahments of the loan board be
cause it was not conducted In a
business-like manner.
Rose Bond, former loan board
clerk and an avowed enemy of Mrs.
Poltras, was elected to her place on
the loan board, effective immedir
ately.
The Crawford position win re
main vacant for the time being1, it
was Indicated. Boyd Jackson, the
other tribal delegate to Washington,
who was present at the council
meeting yesterday, remains In of
fice. He is regarded as a member
of the anti-llquidaUon and pro-administration
group.
Raised Question
Crawford, in a hot statement to
day from Washington, raised the
question of the legality of the coun
cil action in recalling him, assert
ing: "The only way I can be removed
is by secret ballot." pointing out'
that he was elected by secret ballot.
But Kirk, the council chairman,
said that matter was taken care of

Crawford Says
Action Illegal
WASHINGTON. June 27 P
Wade Crawford, tribal delegate of
the Klamath Indians in Oregon, said
today he will disregard the action
of the Klamath council in recalling
him from Washington because he
considers the acUon Illegal.
Crawford said he was chosen by
a secret ballot to represent the tribe
in pushing for legislation to liqui
date the Klamath reservation.
"The only way I can be removed is
bv secret ballot." he said. "The
action yesterday was the result of
pressure exerted by the government's
Indian service ana tne inoe nas
never voted to recall me In secret
ballot."
Crawford charged the Indian
service had engineered the tribal
meeting yesterday after the, business
committee, at Insistence of the
superintendent of the agency, had
voted to recall him. He charged
that the Indian service had spent
tribal funds to take the Indians to
the meeUng in buses and only 84
tribe members voted for his recall.
"It was not the voice of the In
dians," Crawford said, "but that of
a meeting Dacked bv the Indian
service. The Indian service built up
a strong political outfit under tne
new deal and I find It Is operating
on most Indian reservations." ,
