MRS. ZIONCHECK REFUSES 10 EAT Still Dazed by Tragedy, She Awaits Arrival of Hus- band’s Colleagues. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, Wash., August 10.—The young widow of Representative Marion A. Zioncheck waited sorrowfully today for a delegation of Congressmen coming to pay their respects to a colleague. Twice since the 35-year-old Repre- gentative plunged to his death from a fifth story window last Friday, Mrs. Zioncheck has visited the dimly lighted funeral chapel, where the body lay in state. Comforting her was her sister, Mrs. Jesse Stitt, Blytheville, Ark., who came here by plane to attend the funeral at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Coroner Otto M. Mittelstadt, who accompanied the sisters to the chapel last night, said serious concern was felt for Mrs. Zioncheck, who has not eaten since the night of the tragedy. “She is dazed by shock and grief,” he said. “She hardly seems to know whether it is day or night.” ‘The congressional delegation coming here to attend the funeral included: Representative Knute Hill, Martin F. Bmith and Monard C. Wallgren, all of Washington, and Willlam A, Elk- ‘wall of Oregon. The Washington Commonwealth Federation, a political organization in which Zioncheck was interested, com- pleted preparations to give him “the | greatest funeral Seattle has ever known.” The Senator Auditorium was | tentatively selected for the services. | Zioncheck's sister, Mrs. William | Nadeau, gave out the only word from | the family since the Representative raced away from Nadeau in his cam- paign headquarters and plunged to the pavement. “Marion knows how we feel,” she #aid. “That’s all that matters to us now.” Lin(ll)ergh (Continued From First Page.) — progress, it was described as an im- bortant contribution to allow scient-, ists to observe the operation of live, vital organs in an artificial chamber.

HARLOWTON pounour BILLINGS/ LIVINGSTON Above: A scene from the Crow reservation in Montana. owned by the Indians. tion. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROW AGENCY, Mont., August 10—Scattered over the drought-burned hillside, their white gravestones amidst with- ered grass and sagebrush, lie Custer's men. Far below, winding through a rich valley green with sugar beets and golden with shocked wheat, flows the Little Big Horn. It was in flood 58 years ago this Summer. Down the valley was the camp, 4 miles long, of the Sioux and the Blackfeet. The American soldiers rode rashly into a perfect trap and were slaughtered to a man. Beyond, on either side, tower the mountains, pine-clad and cloud- wrapped. Amidst the gravestones the other day stood red-skinned Robert Yellowtail, Indian superintendent of | the great Crow reservation, and mused philosophically as he surveyed the dominion of his people over which he has custody. Their story has been a sad one. Chunk by chunk, their lands have been taken from them. They | have been declining—through no fault | of their own, says Yellowtail—toward | complete dependency. It is not many years since they were virtual slaves— forced to obtain passes to visit the vil- lage where the reservation headquar- ters were located and hitched to plows like animals as punishment for getting drunk. Little Intermarriage. Yet through it all the Crows have | kept their self-respect and their ra- cial pride. There has been little in- termarriage with whites. The Crow today is the same Indian he was 60 years ago—larger of stature and more dignified in bearing than the majority Anywhere on the Crow reservation one realizes that one is in an Indian community, from the valley { villages to the isolated camps of berry pickers and sheep herders in the re- motest fastnesses of the Big Horn Mountains. And it is not an Indian community made for tourists, for it is off the beaten path and few ever visit it. Conventional dress is a rarity. Both men and women still wear their black hair in long, buckskin-entwined braids. All wear deerskin boots or moccasins, many have deerskin shirts, and the women and girls are picturesque in their highly colored shawls. Here is a people which neither has adopted the white man’s culture, nor succumbed to®it. It is largely upon the racial pride of this people that Supt. Yellowtail relies for a self- sufficient “Crow empire,” its founda- tions sunk deeply in the ancient Crow culture. His first move is the restoration of the bison herds from which the old Crows obtained most of their live- lihood. His second is the agricultu- ral development of the valley, laced with irrigation ditches from the Lit- tle Bighorn, which, either by leas- ing or tilling, will bring a steady cash return to the tribe or to individuals. His third .is the education of the young men and women of the tribe, out of tribal funds, in the best col- leges and universities in the United States. For, he says, the consolida- tion of white and Indian culture de- mands the best legal and engineer- ing talent available. He wants to send from 10 to 20 to the universi- ties every year. Education Was Mockery. Indian education under white aus- pices in the past, Mr. Yellowtail says, has been a good deal of a mockery. The best that the red men were taught were mechanical trades and then they were returned to environ- ments where there was no oppor- tunity to practice them. Until now they never have been given an op- portunity to govern themselves, their psychological reactions have been completely misunderstood, and they have been condemned for failure to fit into a system which was com- plev,ely alien to their ways of think- ing. Few empire builders have ever had more voluntary co-operation from his people than Mr. Yellowtail—and no wonder. He is everywhere and at- tends to everything. From daylight to dark there is a continuous pro- cession through his office of Indians and white leasers with all sorts of troubles and all sorts of problems. He settles everything from neighbor- hood fights to gold-mining leases. He checks up the doctors in the hospital and the farmers in the ditches. He spends his nights studying mining | | engineering to decide on the merits of new processes for extracting fine gold from the quartz debris of the hills. Something may come of it at last, he believes, in spite of the crum- bling ghost towns scattered through the nearby mountains and the scores of efforts which have failed. In the new scheme of things among the Crow individualism will be en- couraged, but not necessarily pro- moted. Twenty years ago more than 2,000,000 acres of the Crow tribal lands were allotted by the Govern- ment to individual Indians. Some cul- tivated them and raised good crops. Some leased them. Some sold them outright and dissipated the money. In other cases the laws of inheri- tance have so split up the proceeds that individuals with no other re- sources obtain almost nothing. Yel- lowtail is trying to to buy back as much of this land as possible—the price has gone very low with the depres- sion and the drought—and add it to the holdings of the tribe as a whole, its revenues to go into the tribal | funds for the benefit of all. Crow Is Tribal-Minded. After all, the old Crow culture was tribal. The Indian is, economically, | tribal-minded. Every year there is a great giving-away feast, when those | who have had a prosperous year dis- perse much of their wealth among the | The seeking | poor and among visitors. of wealth for wealth alone never has been popular amongst the Crows— with certain notable exceptions—and | these attributes Mr. Yellowtail is en- couraging to the utmost. He, himself, say his white neighbors, was one of the most outstanding exceptions be- | fore the depression. There is one other side to his resto- ration project which, in the long run, may oe as important as any of the others. This is the revival of tribal sports and the inculcation of a spirit of rivalry. The reservation has a fine race track. The Crows have always DON’T “Thou Shalt Nots” for Capital’s Citizens. A RAIL - SPLITTER was elected President of the United States once upon a time and, more currently, many a willing worker has sawed wood down at the District wood yard. ‘These facts, however, should not give carte blanche authority for any one to saw or split wood anywhere they may please within the District. Don’t try it on any public street, ave- nue, highway, alley, park or other public space. You may be arrested and fined. The District police regulations set up & maximum penalty of $300 for such an offense. True, many a log has been sawed down at the wood yard, by those on relief or under the W. P. A, but that was on Federal property and done with special ap- proval. ‘The average resident must do his sawing and splitting in his own yard. The rule is one of those intended to keep the public spaces open to free use by the public generally. ow Quick Can You Stop Free Unlimited Testing Adjustments_On Your 4-WHEEL BRAKES RELINED Guaranteed Material The buffalo are part of the herd Below: Shaded portion of map shows the outlines of the Crow reserva= | been enthusiastic horse racers, al- | though seldom venturing outside their own reservation. Almost every famg ily, poor as some of them are, main- tains a race horse, and there are meets the year around. Some of the horses are remarkably speedy. The half in 49 seconds flat and the mile in 1:47 is by no means unusual, Mr. Yellowtail | says. The horses are ridden by 14 | and 15 year old boys. ‘The superintendent is trying to raise tribal spirit by more encouragement of | these races and by introducing better | stock, especially of cow ponies. He is also importing from the tribal funds blooded horses and cows from Canada for the farms. One of the great draw- backs of Indian farming in the past, he says, has been lack of power. The farmers didn't have strong enough horses to plow and harvest their lands. So Mr. Yellowtail stands amidst the graves of Custer's men and predicts, out of all these lines of activity, a | greater future for his people than the | | prosperity they enjoyed before their | conquest. It will be a future, he says, which will make use of all the white man has to offer. But he wants to see it incorporated in Crow culture. He sees no hope in the preservation | of a few remnants of Crow culture in- | corporated into the main body of | white culture. (Copyright, 1936. by The Evening Star Ne-w-nu Co. YOUNG POLITICIANS | Helen Ray Hagner, John Saul, ONSANDBAR SAVED Three Delaware Guardsmen Reach Group Grounded Near Bethany Beach. Special Dispatch to The Star. REHOBOTH BEACH, Del, August 10.—Seven persons, three of them from Washington and two of them girls, relaxed in their shore cottage here today and told of being rescued from an Atlantic sandbar on which they were marooned in a sailboat al- most six hours yesterday. They were taken ashore at 10 p.m. by three Delaware National Guards- men, in training at Bethany Beach, Del., a few miles north of here, with the 198th Coast Artillery. The Guards- men came to their aid after an alarm was sent out as a result of the long absence of the party. The persons in the boat were: Jules Mack, 24; Harvey Linderman, 25. and James Gantley, 27, all of Washington; Marie Vallian, 19, Sea- ford, Del; Margaret Garrison, 20, Smyrna, Del.; Ted Shortall, Smyrna, and Tony Butler, Philadelphia. They sailed from Bethany Beach at 2 p.m., expecting to return shortly, but the bar, 300 yards from shore, held them fast. The girls suffered sunburn and shock. The three rescuers will be recog- nized for their bravery by their com- manding officer, Col. George J. Shultz. They are Sergt.

August 10.—Younger members of Maryland's two major ‘pumes stepped forward today to take leading positions in the political cam- paigns, Hyman A. Pressman, president of the Baltimore Young Democrats, charged in a letter to Senator George L. Radcliffe that “the older Democrats have thus far fallen down on the job” in the campaign for re-election of President Roosevelt. Radcliffe is Maryland manager for Raosevelt. “Upon you falls the duty of issuing an ultimatum to the older leaders that they either fall whole-heartedly in line or allow the Young Democrats to take over the leadership in this campaign,” Pressman wrote Radcliffe. Young Republicans began formal organization of groups to support the Landon-Knox ticket this Fall. Of- ficials of the national Republican movement came here to set the organ- ization wheels in motion. Deely K. Nice, nephew of Gov. Harry W. Nice, has been named di- rector of the movement in Maryland. Deely Nice said organization work has been going on quietly for some weeks and that clubs are now active in 14 of the Baltimore City wards and in 12 of the counties. Membership is limited to persons from 21 to 36 years.
