Air Force Asks
Academy Funds
WASHINGTON U The Air
Force is seeking an initial appro
priation of $14,338,000 for its new
academy, the counterpart of West
Point and Annapolis, to be built
near Colorado Springs, Colo.
Congress has authorized an ex
penditure of 26 million dollars dur
ing the current fiscal year, one
million of it on a temporary aca
demy to be occupied until the per
manent one is ready. This author
ization was contained in the bill
creating the academy.
Testimony on the actual money
bin, taken by the House Appropria
tions Committee .behind closed
doors, was made public Tuesday.
MaJ. Gen. Lee B. Washbourne,
assistant Air Force chief of staff
for installations, testified the Air
Force estimates the academy will
cost about 125 million dollars but
"It might go, in some of our think
ing, up another 20 million dollars."
Mother Sues Army
For Son's Injury
SAN FRANCISCO Wi Charles
Brunettl, 14, gladly took advantage
of a visitors' day offer to ride
in an Army tank at Camp Hunter
Liggett last July 31.
Yesterday, his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Brunettl, filed suit ask
ing $100,000 damages from the gov
ernment. She charged Charles suffered a
permanent brain Injury when
bounced against the tank's steel
turret.
ACCIDENT
TOKYO Wl One U.S. Marine
was killed and three were injured
yesterday when a tank plunged
off a 15-foot embankment and
burned at the 3rd Marine Division
Camp Fuji tank range about 50
miles south of here, It was an
nounced today. Names were withheld.
'closer proximity to the major cen
ters of Indian population, points up
the increased emphasis which the
Bureau Is now giving to this
phase of its operations.
Two other recent developments
aiso underline tne growing Impor
tance of relocation activity.
One Is the focusing of attention
by Commissioner Glenn L. Em
mons on tiie urgent need for pro
viding reservation Indians with
wider and more diverse oppor
tunities for economic advancement.
Commissioner Emmons has
stressed this theme frequently and
has pointed to the Bureau's relo
cation program as one practical
answer to the problem.
Relocation was also, featured
prominently in tne report ot tne
survey team which completed an
organization study of the Bureau
111 late 1953. "More attention," the
report stated, "should be given to
Indians' needs as individuals and
in helping them earn a livelihood
in much the same ways as the
majority of American people who
are working for salaries and wages
in towns and cities."
The Bureau's present relocation
program is an outgrowth of job
placement activities which began
about seven years ago on the Np
vajo Reservation aimed chiefly at
channeling Indian workers into sea
sonal employment In agriculture
and on the railroads. Since that
time seasonal job placement
among' the Indians has ' been
turned over almost entirely to the
Stale employment services and
the Railroad Retirement Board
while the Bureau has centered its
attention increasingly on helping
Indians to make a permanent
move away from the reservations.
Today the Bureau has relocation
personnel stationed In 14 Indian
agencies and in four cities where
substantial numbers of Indians
have been relocating.
Agency relocation personnel are
headquartered in North Dakota at
Belcourt, Fort Yates and New
Town; in South Dakota at Pine
Ridge and Rosebud; in Oklahoma
at Muskogee and Anadarko; in
Arizona at -Phoenix, Sells, and
Window Rock; in Montana at Har
lem; in New Mexico at Albuquer
que; in Minnesota at Cass Lake;
and in Wisconsin at Ashland. The
four city offices are in Chicago,
Denver, Los Angeles, and Oak
land. California. Under the new
move the Denver field office will
be combined with national head
quarters. Lying behind the Bureau's recent
stress on relocation are two in
creasingly obvious and stubborn
physical facts. One Is the fact that
on most Indian reservations today
the lands are not capable of pro
viding a decent level of living for
more than a fraction of the pres
ent population. The other is the
fact that tribal populations are
steadily Increasing, in most cases
at a more rapid rate than the gen
eral population throughout the
country.
To help the Indians In escaping
from this squeeze between sub
marginal resources and growing
populations, Commissioner Em
mons has emphasized three types
of action: (1) additional develop
ment of reservation resources,
through Irrigation and similar
work, wherever feasible: (2)
establishment of private industries
ana "payroll" enterprises around
the perimeters of reservations;
and (3) relocation.
The relocation program is com
pletely voluntary and is intended
simply as a service for Indians
who decide on their own Initiative
to re-establish themselves and
their families in non-Indian com
munities. It involves not only
counseling and guidance but also
a moderate amount of financial
aid for those who need it'in mak
ing the transition.

Racial Charge
PORTLAND UP) A charge that
there -was racial discrimination
against a University of Oregon ex
change student from Africa is un
der investigation by the State Bu
reau of Labor.
He Is Godfrey Ibom, 24, a stu
dent from Nigeria. Edwin C.
Berry, Urban League secretary
here, said Ibom was denied serv
ice June 22 at a hotel coffee shop
in Athena, Ore., where he had gone
to work for the summer in a can
nery. Furthermore, Berry said, the
manager threatened to throw Ibom
out.
Frank Leach, the manager, said
Tuesday Ibom was refused serv
ice not because of his race but
because "he acted crazy or some
thing." W. E. Kimsey, state labor com
missioner, said the charge was the
13th of its kind filed since the state
civil rights law went into effect
a year ago.
In six cases, he said, discrimina
tion was proved, and the violators
promised to stop it. No violation
was found In four cases. Kimsey
said two more are pending, the
Athena case and one in Portland.
"All told I believe the very small
number of complaints reveals a
healthy situation in regard to dis
crimination in Oregon," he com
mented. The Bureau of Labor has no en
forcement power. It tries to smooth
over discrimination trouble
through education.
The Portland case, which came
up Monday, involves two railroad
dining car waiters who did not get
service at a cafe.
British, U.S.
iif i
ueai nmrea
LONDON Wl An authorlative
British informant spread word
among newsmen Tuesday that the
United States and Britain are
"pretty well agreed" on division
of Viet Nam somewhere between
the 16th and 18th parallels, as a
basis of an Indochina settlement.
The foreign office and the Amer
ican embassy would not comment.
The informant, who gave this in
formation with the understanding
his name would not be used, said
the partition line would be as far
north as possible, "short and dem
onstrably defensible and one that
the Communists will understand Is
defensible." He outlined two other
points Washington and London
want In a settlement:
1. The French Union forces
should hold some position in the
Communist-controlled north after
Viet Nam is divided. He named
the port of Haiphong In this con
text because it is defensible. The
view appears to be that the in
land city of Hanoi cannot be held
as things stand now.
2. An exchange of populations
should be provided for between
the two parts of Viet Nam. Presi
dent Elsenhower has said he would
not be party to Bny settlement that
enslaved people. A provision of
this sort presumably would make
it easier for him to accept the fin
al settlement.

House Kills
Health Bill
WASHINGTON W House Re
publican leader Halleck of Indiana
dolefully pulled a shroud today
over a key item In President Eisen
hower's health program.
"It's dead," he said of a proposal
for federal reinsurance of commer
cial health Insurance plans to en
courage them to expand coverage
and benefits.
The House voted 238-134 yester
day to send the reinsurance propo
sal back to the House Commerce
Committee to the astonishment of
House Republican leaders, who had
been confidently forecasting easy
passage.
Halleck told the House that re
committal of the bill would kill it
because Congress Is working for
adjournment In a little over two
weeks.
Halleck told newsmen the plan's
death Is traceable to "Democrats
who didn't think It goes far enough
and some Republicans who think it
goes too far." He also placed some
of the blame on the American
Medical Assn., which he said ex
erted considerable pressure against
the proposal.
The bill would authorize the fed
eral government to underwrite up
to 75 oer cent of the losses suffered
by private and nonprofit insurance
firms as a result of voluntary ex
pansion of their health and medi
cal programs.

Rambunctious Twins Stage
Protesting Hunger Strike
LOS ANGELES Wl The fasting
Finn twins learn today If It's food
for supper or Just the 23rd day of
a starvation strike.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals Is slated to rule on an appeal
for ball for the twins, who were
sentenced to a year's Jail term for
interfering with a government
officer.
The 40 - year - old Identical
brothers, protesting against the
"injustice" of their sentence and
the government's seizure of their
war surplus transport plane, have
vowed to shun food until they die
or are released.
Whatever the outcome, the case
of the Flying Finns has become
the biggest human interest story
locally in many a year.
Los Angeles newspapers report
on the brothers' starvation rigors
with banner headlines. Finn fan
clubs have sprung up. Auto stick
ers with "Hurry up and help the
Finns" have appeared on the high
ways. In Bnkersfleld money is be
ing collected to help them.
Charles weighed 138 at the start
of the fast and George, 135. Their
lastest weights are 112 and 111.
The Finn case started with pur
chase of a C46 from a school dis
trict near Bakersfield, where, it
had been used as a clnssroom. The
Finns spent several thousand dol
lars reconditioning it and flew it
18 months. The government then
began action to get It back, hold
ing that the contract with the
school district forbade its resale
except for scrap.
That touched off a comedy of
eriors with the twins flying the
ship from Bakersfield to an air
strip near Death Valley. The FBI
arrived to serve a contempt war
rant for removing the plane in vio
lation of a government order.
George had taken over Charles"
post as guard and the FBI served
served the wrong warrant. In
court, George wouldn't tell If ha
were George or Charles and got
Jailed for contempt. They were ac
quitted when their lawyer showed
the government never had legal
possession of the plane.
With the acquittal, the Finns
thought the government acted Il
legally when the Air Force was
ordered to remove the ship to
Nellls Air Force Base near Las
Vegas, Nev.
That's when they slapped hand
cuffs on U.S. Atty. Laughlin E,
Waters as he left a hotel. The
Finns said they wanted to make
a citizen's arrest of the prosecutor
but a federal Judge thought other
wise. He gave them the year In
Jail.
That started the fasting. The
Finns drink water and officials at
the California Medical Facility at
Terminal Island have given orders
in fnrr fri th Itun nnl,, it ih-i.
condition becomes critical.
