His demise was reported by Doug
Boas, -assistant manager of the

"We tried our best to save htm,"
Boas said. "We wanted to send
him out to the Woodland Park Zoo.
"But he was suffering from
shock and that collar which was

The animal, wearing a collar

Law Enforcement Hinges On Decision
(Eillur'i Ncte: This Is the fifth in
a scries of articles dealin? with the
rlcht of the state of Oregon to prose
cute crime committed by Indians on
the Klamath Reservation.!
' By LYLE DOWNING
It is very much a matter for
conjecture as to what will happen
as far as law enforcement on the
Klamath Reservation is concerned,
if Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg refuses to take Jurisdiction
in the Gloria Wilma Barkley mutr
der case. The Barkey woman is
accused of slaying her mother on
the reservation last September.
The decision which must be
made by Judge Vandenberg Is
whether the state of Oregon has
jurisdiction to try 10 major crimes'
since the federal government, un
der the provisions ot Public Law
280 enacted last August, gave up
crime prosecution rights on the
reservation.
Many law enforcement officers,
questioned by the Herald and
News, believe the government
"put the cart before the horse"
when the new law was written into
the federal statutes. They say oth
er steps in placing Indians on an
equal looting with the rest 01 me
citizens should have been taken
first. Law enforcement by the fed
eral government, they add, should
have been kept in effect on the
reservation until all other federal
controls were removed.
If Judge Vandenberg refuses to
give the state jurisdiction In the
Barkley case, there being no tribal
courts, it follows ther will be no
place for the prosecution of Indian
law violators.
If the state does not have juris
diction, no state law enforcement
officer will have a legal right to
make an arrest for a crime com
mitted on the Indian reservation.
Judging from all the information
we have been able to gather con
cerning this problem, It seems evi
dent that before Public Law 280
was put In effect, the Indians first
of all should have been released
from federal guardianship and
wardship. Then they would have
been able to become full-fledged
citizens of Oregon and subject to
all Its laws. In that case, Indian
lands now held in the name of the
United States government on the
reservation could be taxed to help
support the state government.
Under the present setup, with
the government still keeping title
to tribal property. Klamath Coun
ty, In which the reservation Is lo
cated, will have to bear the major
part of the expense for adminis
tering law and order.
It is true that Public Law 280
Is Dart of an overall plan by the
government to finally relinquish
all controls over tribal Indians
but when? '
Fears have been expressed that
before other Indian controls are re
moved, Klamath Reservation may
bp aweDt bv lawlessness.
There has been some talk of re
viving the tribal courts. Many in
formed persons say this could not
be successfully accomplished.

The smog log added to smote

The effect was tne same, visi

The Weather Bureau in new

by noon, but with tne smote ana

would be one of degree.

The unseasonably warm weather

from dispersing. Tne weatner uu

The only relief in sight., was a
forecast of "some rain beginning
tonight or Sunday." A cold wave
moving east . from Chicago could
break up the condition, but that
might take several more days.
Airliners experienced only mi
nor delays during the daylight
hours yesterday. However, by mid
night last night all incoming and
outgoing flights 1 at LaGuardia and
Idlewild airports were canceled.
Spokesman at both field said the
celling was "zero" at 4 a.m. (EST)
and no activity could be contem
plated until much later in tne
morning.
Many observers nave siartea
comparing the fume and smoke
baze with the smog in Great Brit
ain last year which killed 13,000
persons.
But Dr. Morris B. Jacobs, dlreo-
tor of the New York City Air Pol
lution Control Laboratory, said the
gray pall hanging over the area
was not smog, which is a combi
nation of smoke and fog.
In addition to soot, Jacobs
said, "the haze Includes particles
of such tilings as fly ash, dust,
earth, tars, asphalt, grit, loose
paint from buildings and windows,
rubber rubbed off tires by fric

The accumulation of "smaze,"

In Ellzabeth.N. J., yesterday a

there was no sign yet of a rise

the faulty air could hasten the,

the capture:

WASHINGTON (P The executor
of the estate of W. Stewart.
former -Portland resident, has
asked the U. S. Tax Court to over
rule an Internal Revenue (service
claim that Uie estate owes $33,005
in federal taxes.
The appeal was filed by Clarence
D. Phillips, attorney for Lome L.
Mil er. trust officer ol tne poruana
Trust Bank and executor of Uie
estate.
Miller asserted the government
erred In Including as one of Stew
art's assets the sum of $42,000,
which revenue agents reported as
outstanding in loans to Reginald
L. Rankin of Los Angeles. Miller
said . he knows of no such loans
and argues that even' If they
existed, they would be uncollectible
because of the statute of limitations.
The government also added to
Stewart's estate $164,000 In gifts to
Graeme Stewart, which' it con
tended were made In contemplation
of death or In lieu of a wUl. Among
Uie Items listed was a ranch In
Siskiyou County, Calif., valued by
the government at sm.txxi.
. Miller, said the ranch was given
only a few months after It was
purchased in 1S43 for $110,000. Both
then and In subsequent years, when
the reported cash gifts were made,
he said, Stewart was In good health
and hence could not have made
them in contemplation of death.
He said the Internal Revenue
Service also erred In not permitting
deduction of $28,302 from the estate
to offset a bequest to Lewis and
Clark College.
