Pro-liquidation leaders those fa voring abolition of the Klamath Indian reservation have ouUlned to The Herald and News a four pointed argument they will use in laying their stand on the weighty Indian question before a senate public lands sub-committee next week: 1 The Indians want the rights of full citizenship. Five gener ations have grown up on the res ervation since It was set aside by'. treaty In 1862. and they've been wards of the government long enough. 2 The Indians do not now have control of their own nat ural resources. The resources of the huge reservation are in the hands of the Indian bureau, com posed of white men. O Because the Indians don't i guide their own destiny and are virtually on a dole, there la no adequate way to Judge' their com petency by white man's standards. They're kept orphan children of society. A The Klamath tribe is slowly going broke. At present rate of income and expenditures the tribal funds will be in the red by 1958. By that time. If there -is ft division of community money, there will be nothing left to divide. Heavy Artillery Many ramifications of Uie In dian situation will be aired and many side roads explored while four U.
