David E. Milne. San Diego,

The young scientist is one of

His "brain" consists of an an

But Mrs. Bjoerg Faerselh-Node-land,
who runs the restaurant, the
"Klubben," where the reception
will be held, has been told to pro
vide the best menus and wines
she can and hang the expenses.
By coincidence, considering Gov

is known locally as "the white

Tourisls were ollering up to

on a plan to thwart uninvited

There are no admission cards.
All guests have been invited per

Wagon Boss
Eyes Europe
PORTLAND (API A proposal
lo send a wagon train similar to
the Oregon Centennial wagon
train on a trek across Europe
came Tuesday from Tex Serpa
the Oregon caravan's wagon
master.
"The trip," said Serpa,, an Ash
land rancher, "would win Amer
ica an awful lot of friends abroad
and would show a side of Amer
ica that most Europeans never
dreamed exists.
"It would promote International
understanding and give this coun
try a chance to show off some
solid citizens cut from the old pio
neer mold," he said.
Serpa, who led Oregon's seven
covered wagons more thani 2,000
miles from Independence, Mo., to
Independence, Ore., proposed t h e
trip start in Spain. He said it
could head across Europe "as far
as we can go, even into and across
Russia if they'll let us."
Admitting it might be difficult
to get the needed financial back
ing, Serpa said: "1 don't think
I'll give up on the idea until we
have tried lo find some help."

Government Land Suit
Won ByPitRiverTribe
According to a decision received
this week by Charles Lederer, Al
luras attorney, the Indian Claims
Commission handed down its deci
sion that the Pit River Indians
were deprived of their aboriginal
lands by the United States Govern
ment without compensation having
been paid therefor and that the
Pit River Indians are entitled to
compensation for the value of the
lands. '
For 100 years the Pit River In
dians have been trying to assert
a claim against the United States
compensation. In 1025 Congress
passed an act allowing Indian
tribes who had entered into treaties
with the United States to recover
under treaties even though the
treaties were not ratified by Con
gress. However, the Pit River In
dians had never entered into a
treaty with Ihe United States and,
therefore, were not entitled to file
an action under this act.
In 11)45, the Congress passed (he
Indian Claims Act which set up a
court consisting of three commis
sioners to hear and determine the
Senate Ayes
Housing Bill
WASHINGTON (AP)-A thump
ing 71-24 Senate vote for a new
$1,050,000,0(10 housing bill gave its
sponsors encouragement today
that the legislation finally would
become law.
Bolh the final passage tally and
(he 6H-27 margin by which the
Senate refused to .send the meas
ure back to its Banking Commit
tee were well beyond (he two-
thirds needed to beat another
housing veto.
Indications were, however, that
final congressional action on the
bill would not come promptly.
The measure now goes to the
House. ' Congressmen there who
handle housing said privately it
had been decided to steer 'the bill
into the usual committee chan
nels. Leaders have dropped an
earlier plan to take the bill up
quickly without sending it to com
mittee.
There was speculation Ihe meas
ure might be sent to President
Eisenhower in the closing days of
ihe session on a takc-il-or-leave-it
basis. - ,.
The bill carries aiilhoiizations
for some new government-financed
housing programs as well as for
others which are oul of funds. It
also includes various liberaliza
tions of the FHA mortgage In
suiance program designed to help
private industry.
World's largest cotton plantation
is located at Wilson, in Mississippi

complaints of the Indians who
claimed that their lands were taken
by the government without com
pensation. In 1951 the Indians filed their ac
tion, but nothing was done toward
the prosecution af the action until
1956, at which time the Pit River
Indian Tribe engaged the legal
services of Charles Lederer of Al-
turas, and Louis L. Phelps of the
firm of Dunne, Dunne and Phelps
of San Francisco, whose contract
of employment was approved by
the United States Government in
W56.
The case was tried in Washing
ton, D.C., in December, 1957, be
fore the Indian Claims Commission
Court, at which trial hundreds of
exhibits were introduced into evi
dence in support of Ihe Pit River
Indians claim. After the trial sev
eral court appearances were made
in Washington, D.C., in connection
with various motions made by ihe
government and the case was final
ly argued and submitted on writ
ten briefs in the spring of 1959.
In its decision, the court held:
"That the Pit River Indians of
California are an identifiable
group of American Indians and en
titled to prosecute this action be
fore the commission; that the Pit
River Indians are comprised of
eleven autonomous groups or
bands; that said groups or bands
are the land-owning, land-holding
units of the Pit River Indians and
that each group or band held ori
ginal Indian title to a separate
tract of land as is described in
Finding of Fact No. 25; that each
said eleven bands or groups of
Pit River Indians were each de
prived of their land title by the
defendant (United Stales Govern
ment) on March 3, 1853, without
compensation having been paid
therefor; and that each is there
fore entitled to compensation for
the value of said land. '
"It Is Therefore Ordered, That
delendant's motion for dismissal of
the amended First and Supplement
al Petition be and it is hereby
denied, and evidence will now be
received looking (o a determina
tion of ihe acreage within each of
the eleven separate tracts of land
and the value of said lands as of
March 3, 1853, together with the
amount of offsets, if any, which
the defendant may be entitled to
credit against the same."
Lederer stales that he and
Phelps contemplate leaving f o r
Washington, D.C., in the early part
of September for Ihe purpose of
preparing evidence for the hearing
to establish the valuation of the
lands.
Lederer slated that he has not
as yet attempted lo compute the
acreage in the area (or which Ihe
Pit River Indians will receive com
pensation, but from a cursory ex
amination of the description in the
findings as found by the court il
appears to be between four and
five million acres of land which
were found to have been taken
from the Pit River Indians without
compensation. The lands are locat
ed in the counties of Modoc, Las
sen. Siskiyou and Shasta.

Boom TermefrNecessary
Editor's Note This is the sec
ond of two articles on the sonic
boom which is created by our na
tion's jet aircraft.
By M.Sct. CHARLES J. BENNETT
Sonic Booms nuisance or neces
sity?
Nuisance, say many household
ers who have been awakened from
sleep and have seen dishes dance
on cupboard shelves because of
the thunderous roar of a sonic
boom.
Necessity, say Air Force officials
whose mission is to defend Ameri
ca from attack.
Roth viewpoints, actually, are
correct. Sonic booms are a nui
sance, but America's freedom
would be in jeopardy if they were
never heard again.
The Air Force is charged with
the tremendous task of providing
aerial protection to this country
and insuring continued freedom in
consonance with our American
way of life.
To carry out this task, we must
maintain a ready combat capabili
ty in the most superior air vehicles
technology can provide. More and
more supersonic aircraft are en
tering the operational inventory of
the Air Force. These aircraft, ca
pable of supersonic speeds in all
flight altitudes, are creating an
increasing number of sonic booms
all over the country. This pheno
menon, occurring without warning,
produces a startling, explosive
sound which causes the public to
become increasingly aware of Air
Force operations.
Responsive to the public which It
defends, the Air Force continuous
ly attempts to carry out its. mis
sions with the least possible dis
turbance to the people. However,
the world's best Air Force can
not be maintained if its pilots
must fly all missions at sub-sonic
speeds and then someday, when
the chips are down, fly their air
craft on actual missions for the
first time at supersonic speeds.
Some of the sonic booms creat
ed by supersonic aircraft will be
lO.times louder than (hunder. The
loudest thunderclap recorded gen

In tests, where airplanes have
dived from 36.000 feet and pulled
out at 25,000 feet scientists have
measured pressure no greater than
five pounds per square foot on the
ground. Even when the aircraft
descends to 10.000 feet before pull

pressure did not reach 10 pounds
per square foot. Rarely are faster-

This would mean that sonic boom

ed to be felt on the ground.
Scientists and engineers observ
ing the effects of shock waves gen
erated by atomic explosions have
never observed structural damage
to the flimsiest of test structures
at pressures less than 70 pounds
per square foot. Applying simple
arithmetic, this is 65 pounds more

Segregationists Opposed
By Little Rock Board
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)-The
Little Rock Board of Directors
Tuesday aligned itself against the
segregationist position after al
most two years of unyielding neu
trality in the integration struggle
here.
The board said it could find no
basis for segregationists charges
that police used brutality and vio
lated a constitutional right of
peaceful assembly when they
squelched an anti integration
demonstration Wednesday at Cen
tral High School.
The seven-member board said it
felt officers acted legally to main
tain order and protect life and
property. It referred complaints
filed by two women segregation
ists to the U.S. Justice Depart
ment as the proper authority to
probe alleged violations of civil
rights.
Previously, the board had re
fused to involve itself in any man
ner with the integration issue. But
it drew segregationist criticism
for ordering police to maintain or
der when schools opened.
The Rev. Wesley Pruden, chap
lain of the Capital Citizens Coun
cil, retorted that the Justice De
partment was in league with city
police and that agents of the Fed
eral ' Bureau of Investigation
donned police uniforms and helped
repel demonstrators..
An FBI spokesman at Washing
Ion said he would not dignify Pru
den's statement with a reply. 1
