This assures continued rJYotec tion for a vast number of North west Indians whose allotments to tal in the thousands of acres and the trusts were scheduled to ex pire in 1961. This follows an order from Sec retary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton extending for an additonal five years the trust periods on allotted lands where the trusts were slated to expire in 1961. Sec retary Seaton said the new or ders reemphaslze the depart ment's stated policy of taking all precautions against ending fed eral supervision over Indians be fore they arc competent to end their trust status.' The termination of the trust restrictions on allot ments was dated for expiration at the time the allotments were granted. This order, like similar ones issued in 1958 and 1959, re verses a previous custom of lim iting extensions to a maximum of only one year. The order does not deny an In dian the right to get clear and unrestrictive title to his allotted land, providing his application for such is approved, but under this regulation he does not have to take patent-in-fee ' against ' his wishes. There is no accurate estimate of J the acreage covered by the new order but the Bureau of Indian Affairs said it would run into the thousands. Oregon Woman Critically Hurt CHICO, Calif.
