Indian War Hoops

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Do not, gentle reader, be discouraged, like Senator C. Douglass Buck. This dispatch gets livelier as you go along: “Here we have -been investigating the Indian bureau for two whole days,” the morose gentleman from Delaware begaly “Accomplished nothing. Discovered no possible way to cut its $40 million appropriation.” , The cellophane on the unlit cigar clamped in the mouth of Senator William Langer of N. D. rattled. He is chairman of the civil service commission. He wants to fire as many federal workers as possible, and “he said he begged to differ. “We have got information which will allow us to dump this Indian bureau entirely,” “he shouted, “and save the taxpayers $40 million a year.” The pink face of William Zimmerman Jr, commissioner of Indian affairs, grew pinker still. In a minute it was to turn scarlet only he didn't know it. Senator Langer said if his fellow lawmakers needed any further proof of the uselessness of the Indian bureau; he suggested they listen to a Mr. Crawford, who had rushed here fromi Oregon.

Face Bankruptcy ; A SOLID-LOOKING citizen in rimless eyeglasses and a handsomely tailored suit identified himself as Wide Crawford, a Klamath Indian, His voice was as cultured as his words were bittér. He said in effect that if the Indian :buréeau managed the lives of the Klamath Indians another .10 years, they'd be bankrupt for generations to come. “The Indian bureau seems to picture us wearing moccasins and fanciful headdresses,” he testified. “The Indian today is a man like myself. This generation of Indians has been to school; it can take care of itself.” He went on to say that the Klamath reservation contains seven times as many white men as Indians.

Indians_ in Bondage

“THE INDIAN bureau does nothing for. us,” he said, still not raising his voice. “Yet upon our reservation there are 100 white men employed by the| Indian service. They ride in 80 cars and trucks and in two airplanes. “The superintendent plays around in the planes. When he smashes one, he rides in the other. He claims he is using them for law and order, though how he is able to see the difference from the air between a white man and an Indian on the ground I do not know.” He charged Mr. Zimmerman personally and in so many words with keeping the Indians in bondage. “He 1s the dictator,” Mr. Crawford added. “Gentlemen, the Indian bureau will last another 100 years if you listen to fellows like him.” . Mr. Crawford reached into his brief case then and said, by the way, he had a little pamphlet he wanted to hand to each senator. He did so, ' “Yem" cried Senator Bick, “but this is a formal report by the U. 8. senate committee on Indian affairs in 1943.” It certainly is, Mr. Crawford said. He pointed out where it recommended that the Indian bureau be chopped to a fraction of its size and that most Indians be given immediately the rights of American citizens. “Of course,” Mr. Crawford said. “this report was made to congress four years ago. I do not know what happened to its recommendations.” “Including,” growled Senator Langer, “its final recommendation, saying the Indian bureau should not get $40 million, but at most $5 million. “H-m-m-m,” said Senator Buck. Indian Commissioner Zimmerman laughed. Sounded nervous,

Gable Better Be

Good

By Erskine Johnson

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 24.—Clark Gable has just started his second movie since his return from the service. This one had better be good (‘‘Adventure” wasn’t), or we suspect the King, will grab a shotgun and blow the head off Leo the M-G-M lion, It's “The Hucksters,” which should turn out to be the celluloid “Front Page” of the radio industry. « Gable has two leading ladies, English importation Deborah Kerr and Ava Gardner. His love scenes with Ava, who plays the night-club singer, are reminiscent, they say, of his prewar tussling with Jean Harlow. And that's what the Gable fans want. Sample dialog: Ava: “Now you know you're not going to pick up anything better than me tonight.t Gable: “You're not kidding babe!”

“The Hucksters” also boasts a high-powered sup-'

porting cast—Edward Arnold, Adolphe Menjou and Keenan Wynn, They can't afford to let Gable miss this time, and they're taking no ‘chances. But Gable was noncommittal. “I'm making no predictions this time,” he grinned. Adolphe was raving. “I can smell a good picture 300 miles away, and this is it,” he said.

Situation Is Reversed i

IT'S A. REUNION for Gable and Menjou. They worked together in “The. Easiest Way” 17 years ago. Adolphe was the star, and Clark played a milkman, Keenan is Buddy Hare, the radio comedian. Instead of being a has-been comic, as in the book, he's

In Class by Herself

WE SAW a preview—well, a couple of scenes, anyway—of the new Katie Hepburn-Paul Henreid movie, “Song of Love,” which isn't completed yet. Director Clarence Brown was showing the scene to Katie and Bob Walker on the set. Katie was sitting on the floor cross-legged, in front of a little movie screen, and talking back to herself. “Katie,” Director Brown said, “is the only actress I know in Hollywood with whom I can be myself. I can tell her something stinks without getting my head chewed off, and when she tells me something stinks I know she’s right.” Brown, who should win an Oscar for his direction ! of “The Yearling,” wants to quit directing and pro-, duce after this picture. “I'm getting old. I can't take it any more,” he said. He's 56.

TEN EASY ways to annoy your wife: ’ ONE: In an effort to flatter your hostess, say, in front of assembled dinner-guests, “Honey, why don't you find out how Mrs. Smith cooks spaghetti? I'll bet she'd give you her recipe.” TWO: Say admiringly, “Boy, she sure knows how to wear clothes,” about a woman who has only to ask herself, “Is this right for me?” never, “Is it practical?” “Can I afford it?” and “Will it go with that old blue suit I've got to make do another season?’ questions your wife always has to consider, THREE: Come home on a rainy evening, when the small fry have been indoors all day and your wife looks as is she had just about enough and say brightly, “Well, baby, what did you do all day?”

Beat Her to Shower

FOUR: ©“ KID THE good-looking waitress on the night you take your wife out to celebrate your wed= ding anniversary,

FIVE: Beat her to the shower on an evening when you're going out together, then keep heckling her with such remarks as, “Aren't you about ready?" and, “Gosh, but it takes a woman a long time to ge dressed.” '

Don’t Forget to Forget

SIX: LET HER light her own cigarets, open car doors for herself, etc.—then jump to those things for| other women. | SEVEN: When you finally meet that man she! might have married, but didn’t, find it hard to be-| lieve she ever really took him seriously. ; EIGHT: Go off on a business trip without re- | membering to cheer her up with, “I wish you were | going along.” ' NINE: Explain things to her in the patient tone: you'd use if you were talking to Junior. TEN: Tell her frequently how efficient your good- ! looking secretary is. |
