Senate Rejects Vote On Leech Lake DNR Pact
In St Paul Minnesota the Senate refused to bring up for another vote the Leech Lake DNR pact tying a $1 license surcharge to a ban on commercial hunting and fishing by the Leech Lake Chippewa Band. The measure passed the Senate 41 to 25 and 40 to 26 against recon sideration. A separate suit by the Leech Lake Area Citizens Committee to block the agreement was dismissed by U S District Judge Edward J Devitt. The pact requires Indians to surrender unlimited hunting and fishing rights in exchange for the surcharge and applies only to the Walker Cass Lake area. The House approved bills on railroad tax relief and several labor measures.
