HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON

State Rules Only JP
Can Enforce School
Attendance for Indians
An opinion from the state at
torney general's office In Salem has
upheld Circuit Judge Dmvld R. Van
denberg In hU refusal to take Juris
diction over Juveniles ol the Klam
ath Indian reservation.
The request of the opinion came
from the state department of pub
lie education and presumably from
white resident of the reservation
town of Chlloquln. where most of
the Indian Juvenile trouble centers.
Questions, Answers
Thre questions were asked and
answered by Attorney General
Oeorge Neuner, the most important
dealing with the problem of what
court state or federal haa Juve
nile Jurisdictions.
The questions:
1. What court has Jurisdiction
over truancy on the Klamath Indian
reservation?
Ana. Justice court nearest the
place of residence of the child's
parent or guardian. The Jurisdiction
Is placed in the Justice court be
cause Klamath Indian children at
tend the same schools as whites.
Jurlsditlon la the same as for
whites.
2. What court has Jurisdiction
over Juvenile delinquency on the
Klamath Indian reservation?
Ana. The stale courts do not have
Jurisdiction when offenses are com
mitted by Indian children on the
reservation. Federal courts have
Jurisdiction over crimes enumerat
ed by statute. For offense not list
ed by federal statute are left to
tribal control.
3. What procedure Is necessary to
get the proper court to take Juris
diction over truancy and Juvenile
delinquency?
Arts. A mandamus action.
The opinion. Judge Vandenberg
aid, effectively forbids his juvenile
court from having any responsibil
ity for criminal offenses committed
by Juvenile on the Klamath reser
vation. The judge has maintained
that theory during his nine yean
on the bench.

SALEM. Oct. II () Klamath
Indian children can be forced to go
to public school by Justice of the
peace. Attorney General George
Neuner ruled today for the state
department of education.
But, he said, no state court can
prosecute Indian children for
crime committed on the reserva
tion. Other Flaee OK
Rex Putnam, state superintendent
of public instruction, said that In
most places where the state ha
contracts to educate Indian chll
den, things are working out fine.
But on the Klamath reservation.
Putnam aald. there la a "vacuum
as far as truancy and Juvenile law
enforcement are concerned.
. Strong Indictment
'Juvenile delinquency Is rampant
and local authorities are hesitant
to enforce the compulsory school
attendance laws because they are
not sure of their authority. No court
is taking Jurisdiction over Indian
I children," Putnam wrote to Neuner.

notice thl announcement from
Pan American World Airways today:
A PAWA double-decker clipper made

That's an average of 375 miles an

Even compared to the fantastic ;
speed of Jets. The buss boys in the 1
military planes can go faster but
few businessmen will need faster j
than sound speed for their trips. I
