DECISION DI E TODAY WASHINGTON, April 1 — (UP! Sen. Kail E. Mundt said the Senate investigating subcommittee will either pick a special counsel today or decide on a new way to find one to head ils investigation of the McCar-thy-Arniy row. The South Dakota Republican, temporary chairman of the subcommittee said he hoped for a “break” this afternoon in the 16-day search for a counsel. He said “I will have something to announce -either a name or a change in procedure or croteria.” Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R., Whs., whose fight with the Army prompted the investigation, came under fire from a new quarter. Rep. Robert W. Kean R., N. J. said McCarthy “has done more harm than good” and urged the senate to cu; tail his investigation tactics. INDIANS HAVE PROBLEM MADISON, Wis., April 1.— (UP) The 3,000 Menominee Indians who have carved an estimated 90-million-dollar fortune out of the north woods are considering solving the problems of coming independence by forming an all-Indian county. The government is planning to cut the Menominees free of all federal supervision soon. Feai that their reservation might then go onto the tax rolls of Shawano and Oconto counties has prompted the Indians to consider estab

lishing a new county in Wisconsin. The tribe estimates that because of its prosperous lumber industry it would have to pay high county taxes, but the Indians would not have much representation on the county boards. The state governor’s Commission on Human Rights says the Menominees are wealthy’ because the tribe owns its 234.000-acre ‘•eservtaion and lumbering business as a community project rather than as individuals, and because of far-sighted lumbering practices. The Menominees live in approximately the same area they did in the 17th Century when the white man first saw northern Wisconsin country. They received their present reservation in Shawano and Oconto counties in 1854. As with other tribes, the Men-

ominres were given the choice of dividing the land among tribe members. They chose instead to own and operate the land in common as a tribe through an elected advisory’ council, now a 12-mem-ber body.
