fi 2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1937 - RELIEF OFFICIALS TOBE TOLD ABOUT PLIGHT OF INDIANS Is Need for Help on Standing Rock Reservation, Says Federal Investigator Declaring there is a need for help | on the Standing Rock Indian reserva- tion, Chester E. Faris, representative of U. 8. Indian Commissioner John Collier, headed a delegation which was to confer with Gov. William Langer and relief authorities Tuesday. Faris who has been conducting a general investigation into all depart- ments at the agency described his visit to Bismarck as being of a “good will” nature and said the state has done fine work in a co-operative way. Accompanying him here were Tom White of Billings, Mont., CCC official of the Indian division in this area; ‘John Gates, chairman of the Standing Rock tribal council; L. C. Lippert, agency superintendent, and Joseph Wicks, Sioux county commissioner. In the past two weeks’ investigation of conditions on the reservation, Faris said he had talked to over 400 Indians personally and gone into their homes. Faris said he expected there will ‘be work relief projects for the Indian needy and explained the whole idea is to give help to the Indians and direct them in their endeavors. White said such’ work might be done on roads and in clearing brush along river bottoms. Wicks said the group will confer with Langer and the state welfare board on how the old age assistance program applies to Indians. TOWNSENDITES ASK SELF-GOVERNMENT Object to Discontinuance of District Boards at Con- vention Here Strong protest against the ‘“dic- tatorial” powers of the national Townsend organization was voiced at @ meeting of directors of the North Dakota Old Age Pension club direc- ‘ors, which ended here Monday night. Demanding local self-ogevernment consistent with ultimate objects of the plan, the state directors adopted @ resolution. setting out obligations to a decision of the national organ- ization to discontinue district govern- ing boards on Jan. 1. ‘The resolution recommended that national headquarters call a conven- ion in which every state would be represented for “determining a na- tional setup that will have the re- spect and confidence of the nation.” Copies of the resolution will be sent to Dr. Townsend; the national headquarters and state organizations in the hope other states will take similar action. V. A. Hoskins, Elien- dale, was chairman of the resolutions committee. The congressional district board in ® separate session voted to retain D. D. Riley of Minot as state manager. The board was instructed to call a second state convention soon.

Byrne Gets Scolding, Uniform, Severely criticized for not wear- ing a uniform befitting his leader- ship of the Elks Boy Scout troop, Robert Byrne, former secretary of state, Monday night heard his ver- bal lashing through and then was presented with s complete dress uniform by the Bismarck lodge and boys whom he has served 10 years, Byrne organized the Elks scout troop in 1928 and has actedias its scoutmaster ever since, During the decade of its existence it has been one of the outstanding troops of the area. Never during that time, however, had its leader owned a regulation uniform. 7 The presentation was made. at the reguiar weekly meeting of the troop in the Roosevelt school Flying Actors to Wed Success of Henlein’s Autonomy Movement Might Open Way to Eastern Europe By DEWITT MacKENZIE (Associated Press Foreign Affairs 2 Writer) | New York, Dec, 28—(P)—Central | ;Europe has produced from obscurity another new leader who may prove to | have been pulled rabbit-like from the magician’s hat for the purpose of changing the political face of his troubled continent. | disciple of Adolf Hitler and Nasi leader of Czechoslovakia’s German citizens, who form nearly @ quarter of her population, Henlein is causing the Czecho-j| slovakian government anxiety lest he may disrupt the baby republic by his campaign (backed by Berlin) for automony for the Germanic people within her borders. Henlein, if he succeeds, may give Hitler control of Czechoslovakia (and neighboring countries) and conse- quently provide Germany a gateway through which to march an army into Russia’s rich Ukraine, to make good Berlin’s dream of expansion eastward. ‘ Is Political Factor Henlein may not be master of himself; he may progress through circumstances over which he has small control; but he would appear to have been selected by fate as one of the integral parts of the machine which rapidly is grinding out the fu- ture of Europe. One thing can be said with cer- tainty, he already is definitely a,fac- tor to be reckoned with in central European politics. y He apparently is one of those who are to determine the future of Fas- cism and Democracy in 5 It is an ironic circumstance that this vital battle should be waged in Czechoslovakia, since this is the sole remaining outright democracy in cen- tral Europe. Until four years ago when he sud- denly rose to power, few people had heard of Henlein, He had been an obscure instructor of gymnastics at Asch. Explains Leanings He was born close to Reichenberg (now Liberec), Bohemia, near the German Silesian frontier. Bohemia was then part of Austria, a burning fact which explains the present po- litical leanings of both himself and his followers, ‘When the World war broke out, 16-year-old Henlein, enlisted as a vol- unteer in the Austrian army, and was quickly promoted to officer's rank. After the war he did Same Night Monday night with Dr. F. F. Griebenow, chairman of the Eiks scouting com mittee, presiding. Other committee members are Charles Liessman and J, 8. Fevold. Other Elks in attendance were H. M, Leonhard, exalted ruler; E. O. Bailey, E. B, Klein, Frank Mithol- lan, Walter W. Clark and William Koch, , The uniform was presented by five Scouts, Bill Grabow, Alvia Hoff, George Hektner, Robert Chernich and Spencer Boise. The troop itself completed the uniform by giving Byrne a hat with Hugo Renden acting for the troop. Other scouters in attendance were L. K. Thonipson, district chairman; Paul O. Netland, area executive, and Helge Zethren, publicity chairman, of gymnastic instructor at Asch (As). ‘This town of about 20,000 inhabitants is in the westernmost corner of Old CONTINUED from page one Funeral of Fire* Victims Not Set Noticed her daughter and grandson outlined against the flames in their bedroom window, Mrs. Novak said. “Throw me the child and jump,” Mrs. Johannesn screamed but her daughter seemed oblivious of her peril, clutched her son tighter to her breast and turned toward the flames, Overcome by Smoke Associated Press stories indicated that Mrs. Garber and her son were Overcome by the smoke and col- lapsed.
