Land Protection
Is Assured By
Indian Bureau
No Indian allotted land will be
removed from the federal trust
restrictions in 1961 unless the In
dian owners request it and their
patcnts-in-fce applications are ap
proved, the Portland regional of
fice of the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs said today.
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.

Neuberger
Balances
Smith Side
WASHINGTON (AP)-The seat
ing today of Mrs. Maurine Neu
berger, Oregon Democrat, places
one woman on each political side
of the Senate aisle. '
The Republican is Maine's Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith, who be
gins her third Senate term. ,
Mrs. Neuberger, 53-year-old
former teacher and state legis
lator, has an- important edge over
other freshman senators in the
chamber's important seniority
system because she actually be-J
came a senator last November.
This is because she won election
to a full six-year term as well as
to the unexpired term of her hus
band, Richara L. Neuberger, who
died last March.
The seniority edge may seem
slight, but it could play an im
portant part in the committee
assignments she gets.
Mrs. Neuberger, who always
worked closely with her husband,
is expected to carry on with his
policies as a liberal and his work
for conservation of natural re
sources. BREAKS TRADITION
