Indian Hearing
By FLOYD WYNNE
' I have no wish to get caught in
the line of fire between the Re
publicans and the Democrats on
the issue of handling the Indian
Termination problem.
However, there are a few ob
servations that 1 have been nurs
ing lately which may be worthy
of repetition.
I can fully appreciate the fle
publican Central Committee's de
sire to put additional study on the
matter before taking a resolution
stand one way or the other.
The current hearings back in
Washington, D.C., have only
served to further confuse the issue.
The hearings have turned up sup
port for government purchase, sup
port for the administration's bill
to give private enterprise an op
portunity to purchase the reserva
tion first, and support for cither
junking the entire termination
plan itself or letting it go the way
it is now.
The situation is indeed a very
confused one at the moment. It
does appear, as Sen. Richard Neu
berger suggested at testimony Fri
day that his government purchase
plan and the administration bill
could be compromised into a sin
gle measure. This appears to have
some advantages.
However, that also brings up the
thought that I think it only fair
to point out that Senator Neuberg
er has been doing a sincere, de
voted job of trying to arrive at
some equitable solution of the In
dian problem.
Ncubergcr has spent a great
deal of time and effort in listen
ing to various viewpoints, holding
hearings and working to get some
sort of solution that is favorable
or at least in the best interests of
all concerned.
In all the welter of confusion that
appears to be arising over the
termination problem, several
points must not be overlooked. If
the problem is not solved properly,
its after-effects will be felt in this
community for a long time to
come, both as to the future wel
fare of the Indians, themselves,
as well as the future economic
growth of this Basin area.
The first area of responsibility
is certainly to the Indians them
selves, and the second area is to
the economy of the region.
I am confident that a just solu
tion will be arrived at. It may
take considerable more time and
effort before it is attained, but
I think if all of us incline our
efforts toward lifting this problem
out of the morass of politics, and
give it a sound, searching survey,
it will be resolved to the satis
faction of ell concerned.
There is room in the problem
for honest disagreement. There is
not room for political disagreement.
Tax Committee spoke along the
lines of economy in school opera
lion, and made a good case for
lhat opinion.
The Republican members did not
argue the case, but indicated that
in their opinion a "modified capi
tal gains" tax provision was in
evitable to ease the strain on busi
ness. A curious meeting . . and a
trend to watch.

NEW YORK i - If you can
trust the feminine intuition and
business judgment of one of Amer
ica's top lady bankers, the pres
ent recession will be short-lived.
"I'd rather call it a pauso, any
way, than a recession," said Mrs.
Mary Roebling, president of the
Trenton i.N.Jj Trust Co.
"Any country with the great re
sources we have and the ability
of its leaders certainly will not
permit a continuation of this pres
ent pause in its expansion.
"In the long pull we are still
the greatest nation in the world.
A firm optimism and faith in
growing future are part of the life
credo of this sprightly 52-year-old
widow, who thinks she is no less
feminine because she can handle
the details of a five million dollar
bank loan as well as baste a roast
or decorate her apartment.
"Sometimes I think an angel
sils on my shoulder," she said.
"The Lord has been good to me."
Mrs. Roebling started her bus
iness career at 20 in the statistical
department of a Philadelphia
brokerage firm. Soon she was sell
ing securities herself.
When her husband, wealthy
Siegfried Roebling, member of the
family that built the Brooklyn
Bridge, died in 1035, she took his
place as a member of the board
of the Trenton Trust Co. Two years
later she was elected president.
The bank then had assets of 17
million dollars. Today it has 70
million in assets, and has climbed
to a rank among the top 350 of
the nation s 14,700 banks.
Mrs. Roebling, who also is a di
rector or trustee of 18 other cor
porations, was named in a recent
magazine article as one of Amer
ica's 10 wealthiest women. She is
reported to have an income of
about a million dollars a year.
Some 65 per cent of the em
ployes in her bank are women.
but Mrs. Roebling says this fig
ure only reflects a growing trend
in the financial world.
"An ever-increasing number of
women are going into banking,"
she said, "because of the pleasant
working conditions, the associa
tions it brings, and because they
are pre-eminently qualified for it.
Women have the rarest com
modity in the world, and one of
the most valuable common
sense. I wouldn't say that men
don't have it, too, but they cer
tainly don't have a corner on the
market."
.Mrs. Roebling. who reared two
children, says the frustrated ca
reer women is largely a myth.
I he career women I know don't
feel defeated in life," she re
marked. "Most of them are hap
py, and have happy homes. The

By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK l The question oi
bigness in business and what il
anything to do about it is up again
today on several fronts.
1. A small maker of autos tells

2. United Fruit, top banana in
1 its field, accepts a court view lhat
it should set up a rival firm with
which to share its banana busi
ness. 3. A bill before the House of
Representatives would tax corp
orate incomes .according to size
just as individual incomes arc
grouped in progressive lax brack
ets. 4. And various persons in and
out of government are suggesting
that Detroit be told to cut the size
of its cars to help out the traffic
problem

the big boys should be whittled

The younger set may get
first chance to go "a-lesting'
summer clothes. .
Mr. Mort, a firm which special
izes in junior sizes, shows the new
"trapeze" or tent silltouette, and
believes it's the first to do so in
this country.
Christian Dior's successor, Saint

Small firms who may be having that it is "a natural evolution from
the chemise."
The trapeze silhouette resembles
a tent, falling in straight lines
from the armpits to the hem. With
it, skirts are kept short, up to 20
inches in Paris and about 16 inch
es here.
Dresses that Mr. Mori call
"jump - overs" actually resemble
the real trapeze. These numbers
fall tent-fashion from the shoulders
lo hemline.
They can be worn loose or belt
ed. A spokesman for the firm says
us a do-anytlnng dress, you can
wear it in your trousseau, later as
a housedress, and then as a ma
ternity dress."
The firm had to shorten a I
skirts after the line was designed
last September, since every time
they did a preview, the skirts got
snorter.
They feel skirts look belter with
the new lines when they hit just
below the knee.

Some new variations of the che

George Romney, American Mo
tors president, says his smaller
company is doing very well this
year, but he thinks the Big Three
in the industry should be made to
spin off some of their divisions
for the good of the industry and
the nation. GM, Ford. Chrysler
and Walter Reuther aren't likely
to be in accord with Romney's
views on the dangers of bigness
in auto management and labor.
But Romney cites the enforced
split up in 1911 of the old Standard
Oil trust as benefitting all con
cerned. Romney told a Senate
group: "Standard Oil stockhold
ers, executives, employes and
customers benefitted greatly from
the creation of 34 companies out
of what was previously a single
enterprise. General Motors and
Ford stockholders, executives,
employes and customers could
reasonably be expected to benefit
as did those of Standard Oil.
Romney sees monopoly or com

have echoed this,
Big business has been quick to
deny that lis growth harms the
nation. It contends that (he nation
has grown even faster and that
increasing needs of consumers
have led business lo expand to
fill them at as low production
casts as possible.
The lax proposal in Congress to
discourago business growing over
large by selling up a progressive
income tax on corporations and
thus favoring small business
draws fire from the Tax Founda
tion, a private research organiza
tion. The top corporate tax now
is 52 per cent. The proposal goes
as high as 75 per cent on prolils
over one billion dollars, as GM
once had.
The foundation argues that only
15 per cenl of businesses are in
corporated and the problems of
small business aren't primarily
due to high taxes. Change in 'the

Klamath Falls (To the Editor
History, women and taxes repeat
inemselves, year after year.
History is a succession of period
of coming to peace, and going to
! pieces: women are a succession o(
I creatures true to Ihe species: and
I taxes are a system of revenue
based on Ihe principle that you
can conliscate only once, but you
can tax perpetually.
So it's tax time again, and it is
clear neither federal or state plan
io Hitmen our tax burden.
The tax we pay on our income
is now comparable to the tax put
on the Jews in I A D.
However. Ihe thing lhat makes
fodder for the psychiatrist couch
is the tax paid on government in
come. It Uncle took $1,000 for his
share 'its this is not deductible'
then you are paying K20 on his
income, and if Ihe state took $350.
then von are paying $24. 50 on the
slate's income, and what most ot
us could do with S:!?.;'

thai makes a martyr, but who

California Demos Arrange
Prexy Candidate Preview
WASHINGTON tfi California
Democrats are arranging to get
an advance look at a dozen pos
sible presidential contenders be
tween now and 1960.
National Committeeman Paul
Ziffren, disclosing the plan in an
interview, said results of the Cali
fornia primary may be decisive in
the fight for the 1960 nomination.
Ziffren said he plans to organize
a series of dinners, beginning this
summer, at which the ton men of
the party will be asked to speak.
"We want to get a look at these
men close up, let the people see
them and hear them in anticipa
tion oi a wiae open primary in
i960, he said.
'For all practical purposes, the
California primary decided the
nomination in 1956 and 1 think
history may repeat itself in 1960."
In Die June 1956 primary Adlai
E. Stevenson defeated Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn), his chief rival
for the nomination for vice presi
dent. Stevenson was nominated
and was beaten by President Ei
senhower in the general election.
Aillren said Stevenson, who has
said he won't be a candidate
again, will be invited to speak,
along with others like Sen. Lyndon
B. Johnson of Texas, who have
said they aren't seeking the nomination.
We want everybody who is
mentioned as a candidate, even if
they themselves say they aren't
running," Ziffren said. "They
won't have to sign any papers that
win put them in the race if thev
don't want to."
Ziffren said that he lias in mind
as potential speakers several gov
ernors, including Govs. Robert B.
Meyner of New Jersey. G. lien-
nen Williams of Michigan. Georee
.vi. Leaoer ol Pennsylvania. A. B
t Happy) Chandler of Kentucky
Averell Harriman of New York
and frank Q. Clement of Tennes
see.
He mentioned Sens. Kefauver.
Humphrey (D-Minn), Kennedy ID
Mass) and Symington (D-Mo as
among other possibilities, adding
that the list will be enlarged if
this year's elections bring others
to tne lorelront.
