One of the most difficult prob

the fundamental causes upan which
it was founded. U is true we can

flaunt the conventions of the white

for the red man and so we have
very litUe contemporary points of
view from which those ot us In the
present century can judge the
people ot the past. Joaquin Miller
vas one writer wno deiied tne con-
ventlens of his time and wrote of
his rebellion to the acts of a white
civilization to toe red..
The publishers "announcement"
as a foreword to Joaquin's book,
"Unwritten History" nubllshed in
1174 is interesting because It takes
lecogmtion of the controversy the
' book would produce. The publisher
writes: "A view of the case from
the Red Man's standpoint is a
novel one, and although some fea
tures presented thereby might en
danger the repose ot bis conscience,
yet it is a view which every honest
American should endeavor to ob
tain. Strong prejudices exist
against the Indian; how justly, It

other means ot miblic contradic

Indian helplessly suffers from the

version of his dealings with the
Indian has been for years repeated
over and over again to the public.

' PARIS W A man stepped Into
the hotel lounge and said quietly:
"The government has Just
fallen."
Perhaps there was frenzied ex
cltement In French circles over
Premier Laniel's downfall, but the
collapse of France's 19th post
war government created less stir
in the hotel lounge than if a patron
had risen and accldently upset an
ashtray.
The barman looked up Impas
sively at the news, then bent down
and finished mixing bis drink with
out the slightest change of ex
pression. It was es If be were an

. the National League bad been
rained out.
The American tourists In the
lounge, including a number of
former war correspondents, began
talking animatedly about what the
new government crisis meant. A
few Frenchmen present listened
curiously to the conversation.
None volunteered a comment,
None said Lanlel was a bum and
deserved to topple. None protested
he was a hero. None said ne was
a good man trying to carry out a
bad program or a bad man stuck
with a good program.
They had or so It seemed to
me the half-bored, half-amused
lndllference of a group of Broad
way characters at a night club
casually eavesdropping on a table
of Texans talking about how much
Dallas needed a good bard rain.
A waiter came by. I ordered o
drink and asked, "have you heard
the government has Just fallen?"
"Yes."
"You don't seem at all sur
prised." "No."
"You don't seem very concerned
either. Doesn't It worry you that
another French government has
fallen?"
"Why should It?" he shrugged.
"I worry about what concerns me.
I take care of myself first then
the other fellow."
"Is that the way most French
men feel?"
"I would say yes."
"Have most Frenchmen always
felt that way?"
"Perhaps not," he said, after a
moment of reflection. "But it Is
the way they have felt since the
last war."
"Who would you like to see run
the government of France Gen
ernl DeOaulle?"
"No, not DeOaulle," he said.
"But It is a matter of little mo
ment to me. They are all out for
the money. Me, I take care of my
self first, too."

"Dive me that freedom." Joseph
said, "and I will obey every law,
or submit to the penalty."
Captain Jack was among the first
of these Indian chiefs, who came
prominently Into the public view

tinction by the defeat of Custer in
the Battle of the Little Big Horn in
1176, four years after the Modoc
War. Joseph's fame came In 1877
when he fought a running battle
with the troops of the United States
over a trail 1.800 miles long ex
tending from the Wallowa valley
of Oregon through Idaho and Mon
tana and north almost to the Ca
nadian line. Seventy five fateful

lltude as the waiter that the gov.
ernment of France was hardly his
personal problem, and he had his
own life to worry about.
When I asked him what he
thought of present French political
leaders, he said very seriously
"They are all too small. France
needs a stronger man."
"How about DeOaulle?"
"DeCaulle?" he looked pained.
"No, not DeOaulle. It Is not neces

Clemenceau yes, another Cle

many Clemenceaus in a lifetime,

Out In the streets the normal
traffic of Paris pulsed. The flower
girls were peddling blooms as
usual. The fruit stalls were busy.
The only knots of people I saw
were waiting for the bus to take
them on the long voyage home,
and they studied their newspapers
in silence.
' Along the Seine the season's
first fishermen were patiently toss
ing lines into the stream, philoso
phically hoping to snare one of
those overgrown minnows which Is
about all you ordlnarllly ever see
anyone catch In the Seine.
The dropping lines make small
ripples In the water. And, for all
a guy from out of town could tell
that is about all the fall of France's
19th post-war government did. It
made a ripple on the common.
place. No more.
In the tidal times we live in. It
would have been more encourag
ing to have seen something bigger
than a ripple. There have been
times in France's past when the
fall ot a government stirred waves
of purpose throughout the world.

WASHINGTON C-After a short
rest Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) can
be expected back with a iresn box
of matches to start another roar
ing fire, under the Elsenhower ad
ministration. The 36-day Army-McCarthy hear
ings which ended last night may
turn-out to have been just a warm-
up for future McCarthy struggles
with the administration.
McCarthy wants his Senate In
vestigations subcommittee, he said,
to have hearings on whether Com
munists have, slipped into defense
plants. Since that seems normally
within the scope of his committee.
the administration probably won't
object.
Then, he said, be wants to con
sider looking for Communists In
the supersecret atom and hydrogen
bomb plants and the central in
telligence Agency (CIA), which
does this country's counterspying
on the Communists overseas.
Right there he runs head
again Into the administration
which stiff-armed him when he
tried to look into CIA before. He
indicated he might talk to the
White House first, but didn't say
what he'd do if he was turned
down.
Over the past four years. Mc
Carthy has hopped from sensation
al charge to sensational charge
and from headline to headline, at
tacking both the Truman and El
senhower administrations when it
suited blm. Only for a year and a
half has he headed the subcom
mittee. Before that he was a lone
operator.
Conflict has been his meat and
potatoes. He has grown strong on
It. The sensations and the head
lines have been the breath of his
political life. Without them he
would be again Just one of the 96
senators.
No one, he has said, can stop
his search for Communists in the
government. It may be that he
won't stop, or can't stop, until the
Eisenhower administration crushes
him or surrenders to him the key
to the government's inner doors.
The Army-McCarthy hearings, the
i highlight of his career to date.
were rooted in this struggle be
tween his efforts to push and the
administration's efforts to keep
him from pushing too far.
Vet's Mailbag
Veterans planning to start Ko
rean OI bill training before the
forthcoming August 20 cut-off date
are urged by the Veterans Admin-
tslratton to give extra-special
thought to their choice of a training
program.
The reason, VA said, Is that after
the cut-off date, the law tightens
up appreciably on a veteran's right
to change bis course.
He no longer will be allowed to
make his one-and-omy course
change with the same ease that It
could be made oeiore tne aeaonne.
At any time before the cut-off
date, the Korean OI bill permits a
veteran one change of course. So
long as his conduct and progress
were satisfactory, he has a rela
tively free hand In making the
change. It could be from law to
engineering: from air conditioning
to airplane mechanics; the choice
was his.
But once the cut-off date passes,
Indian Agency
Leader Arrives
W. W. Palmer, former superin
tendent of the Wind River Indian
Reservation In Wyoming and new
superintendent ot the Klamath In
dian Reservation arrived at Klam
ath Agency Thursday night accom
panied by his wife and three chil
dren. Palmer was transferred here to
fill the vacancy left by the retire
ment of Superintendent E. J. Dlehl,
who with his wife recently moved
to Ashland to live.
The Palmer family, besides the
parents, include two daughters,
Oayle and Sue and a ton Jim.
Oayle' the oldest attends college
and Sue will be a Junior In nigh
school this year. Jim, the youngest
member of the family Is an 8tn
grader.
Also In line for a transler in the
near future Is Tom Sanders, chief
clerk at Klamath Agency for sev
eral years. He will leave on June
27 for the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation In the northern part 0
the state.
Replacing Sanders will be Martin
Wheelock, chief clerk from the Col
ville Washington agency. He Will
assume his duties at Klamath
Agency July 18, following a three
weeks vacation.
It was a basio constitutional
question over the separation - of
powers between the executive and
legislative branches. If anyone
doubted this before the hearings,
McCarthy left no doubt of It by
the time they ended.
As first presented to the public
this seemed to be the quarrel: The
Army charged McCarthy and his
staff tried to pressure It Into giv
ing special treatment to a draftee,
O. David Schlne, formerly with
McCarthy's staff. McCarthy coun
tercharged the Army was trying
to blackmail him into giving up
his hunt for Communists In the
Army.
Soon it came out there was
something else: Some of Elsen
hower's closest advisers got to
gether when ne demanded mat
members ot the Army's loyalty
board appear before him for ques
tioning. He was refused the right
to question the board.
Both the Truman- and Elsenhow
er administrations have kept sec
ret the business of the various gov
ernment loyalty boards. - People's
reputations, the names oi iniorm
ants, and reports of the FBI are
Involved in the work of the boards
In deciding whether a government
employe is fit to keep his Job or
is a security risk.
Basic in the secrecy about the
boards is this: If they could be
called before Congress to answer
for their decisions in any or all
cases, their decisions might be
made through fear of Congress and
not through a desire to be latr.
This didn't discourage McCarthy,
During the hearings he called on
all government employes to give
him anv security Information they
had even though Elsenhower had
ordered It kept secret.
The White House called this open
defiance of Elsenhower's authority
under the Constitution to run the
executive branch as he thinks best
for the national security. McCarthy
disputed that, saying that as a
committee chairman he is author
ized to receive such Information.
When, at the very end of 'yes
terday's hearings, McCarthy an
nounced his Interest in the CIA,
he was serving notice en the ad
ministration he was thinking of
lighting a match.
VA said, the one-and-only free
change-of-course provision no long
er noios gooa.
After that time, a veteran may
cnange ma course only under one
of the following circumstances:
1. The course he wants to change
to Is a normal progression from the
course ne nas already taken. For
example, if he obtained bis AB de
gree, he would be permitted to
change to an MA degree.
2. Re hasn't been makinar satis
factory progress In the course ha
was taking, due to no fault of his
own. If this Is the case, he will be
required to undergo VA vocational
counseling, to help him select a
new course more In keeping with
his aptitudes and abilities.
The August 20 Korean OI bill
cut-off date applies only to post-
" vemrmns separatee from ac
tive service before August 20, 1J1.
Veterans who got out of active aer
vice after that date have two yeara

POET'S CORNER
By ELLSWORTH PKLI.FTT
When Ood made the earth and
Heavens
Tho earth was then dork and
drear
His spirit moved over the waters
He caused the dry land to appear,
Ho went to the summit ol the
mountains
And there planted lakes of blue.
He went through the forests and
valleys
Planting colors of wondrous nue.
He tound there a beautiful valley
Surrounded by evergreen trees,
The scent of the deep virgin
forest
was walled to him on the breeze,
A beautiful lake where he planted
As he paused for a moment to
rem
In the shade of the lorest and
hillside
Far away In a land he loved
best.
For sues this lake in the wild-
wood
Unknown by the haunts of man
kind
But a wanderer aecklng his for
tune
Proclaimed to the world of his
find
Today It's a vision of beauty
The people all flock to Its shore
Where they play 'round Its spark
ling waters
Far away from the cities mad
roar.
The lake of the woods, people call
It
TIs watched o'er scnnala ol
white
Where all rich and poor share
lie glory
And twinkling stars dance with
delight
This lake of the wooda Is a haven
Where those who are weary may
reat
And sail o'er Its waters undaunt
ed
This beautiful lake of the west.
