Don C. Foster, Portland area di rector for Bureau of Indian Af fairs, said the principal remain ing job the Interior Department has in connection with the Klam ath termination process concerns the sale of 11 sustained-yield units of the Klamath forest and the distribution of the proceeds to the withdrawing members of the Klam ath tribe. Under the Klamath Termination Act of 1954, as amended, if the units do not sell to private pur chasers who agree to manage them under a plan approved by the Forest Service, the Secretary ol Agriculture will acquire them for the national forest system Seven of the units have already been advertised for bids and the last four will be advertised No- ember 1. Bid opening on the first four is set for January 20, 10; the second three, April 1, I960, and the last four, August 1 M60. These sustained-yield units contain 617,000 acres of the orig inal 1,108,000 acres of tribal and allocated (individual Indian own ers) lands considered as the Klam ath reservation. This is what has happened to the remainder of the reservation 1. Through sales and issuance of fee patents requested by the Indian owners and the final re moval of all restrictions on Au gust 13, 1958, as provided by the termination law, all departmental supervision and responsibility has heen removed from 245,000 acres of individually allotted land. These! lands are now in fee simple own ership, both Indian and non-Indian 2. Members of the Klamath tribe who did not elect to with draw set aside 145,000 acres of the tribal lands of the reservation for their benefit. The United States National Bank of Portland is trus tee for these lands and all de partmental responsibility has end ed. 3. The 15,000 acre Klamath Marsh is to be acquired by the federal government April 1, 1961, and will be administered by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the U.S. Fish and Wild life Service as the Klamath For est National Wildlife Refuge. The appraised value of this acreage is $474,841 and the purchase price would come from Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp (Duck Stamp) Act funds. (Senator Richard L. Neu- berger has introduced a bill IS 2421) to move up the date of the marsh purchase to September 30, 1959, or as soon thereafter as duck stamp funds become available.) 4. There were 77 grazing, farm and fringe Jimber units not in cluded in the Klamath forest which have been offered for sale on be half of the withdrawing members, These totalled 86,000 acres. . To date six sales have been held and 73 units have been sold, 68 to members of the tribe who pledged portions of their share of the proceeds of the sales of tribal property and five to non-Indians who paid for them in cash 'This means that in our efforts to acquire some cash to start paying off the withdrawing mem bers of the Klamath tribe we have accumulated only $180,209 on the sale of about 5,000 acres of tribal lands to private individuals," Fos ter said. "It should be remembered, how ever, that 94 tribal members who are withdrawing have availed themselves of the opportunity to be landowners by pledging por tions of their shares to buy some of these units." Foster said 78 of the withdraw ing members have pledged more than $10,000: 15 have pledged less than $10,000 and one remaining member has paid $20,000 in cash for a unit. There are more mem bers than units involved because some of the members have formed partnerships to purchase land. In summary: 11 sustained yield units, 617,000 acres for sale: indi vidual Indian allotments, 245.000 acres sold; area retained for re maining members, 145.000 acres sold; grazing, farm and fringe units, 86.000 acres sold: Klamath Marsh, 15.000 acres, government to take over. Original reservation allotted and tribal lands, 1.108.000 acres. Foster said the '11 sustained- yield units to be sold support a total volume of slightly under 3.5 billion board feet of saw timber and nearly 15 million cords of pulp material. The 11 units vary in size from 35.000 acres to more than 91.000 acres and carry vol umes from 69 million board feet to more than 548 million board feet. The realization values range from $1,636,000 to more than $13.- 345.000. with a total for the 11 of $70,352,813. Other facets of the Klamath termination program should not he mlnimijpri " Foster caid. There are remaining problems including the transfer of irriga tion projects to water users, loans to tribal members during the pe riod until proceeds from the land salts become available, and the protection and management of l!ie properties uniil told." roster said IhU a loan program , is under way to assist the with drawing Klamaths who have been accustomed to receive an average annual per capita income of about $1,100 from the sale of reser vation timber. BIA continues to furnish fire protection in the for est with the cooperation of the state forestry department which is furnishing men in numbers pro portionate to the non-federal foi est acreages within the reserva tion perimeter. Melee Quelled By Officers ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Forty policemen and firemen, using po lice dogs and armed with night sticks and fire hoses, quelled a melee involving about 300 persons in a Negro district here Saturday. Several persons were injured and six were jailed following the early morning melee which result ed when police asked Robert L. Price, 26, a Negro, for identifica tion. Police Chief William Proetz met late Saturday with Negro leaders and told them the riot probably was due to "resentment and a misunderstanding of our increased policing." Proetz explained patrol activity had been intensified in the city recently due to a scries of slug gings. The Negro community, he said, must understand that the po lice is for the residents' benefit and protection.
