Sooner Indians Denounce Plan to Abolish Agency
Oklahoma Indians protest a bill to abolish the U S Bureau of Indian Affairs. Osage spokesman Rab Ladadie says the tribe opposes any action removing federal supervision. Kiowa Comanche Apache leaders oppose the proposal, favoring continued supervision beyond 1961. Some Seminole area tribes back partial lifting for individuals. The issue follows the Senate confirmation of Glenn L. Emmons to head the bureau. Kiowa leaders accuse the President of breaking faith.
