The largest blazes cover 5 000 to 10 000 acres with crews camping near a 10 000 acre fire at the reservation edge. Local tribesmen and jail volunteers have fought fires for weeks, with at least 6 000 acres burned on the reservation. The drought since November has intensified fire danger statewide.

Welfare Problems Delay Social Security Welfare Bill
Washington AP reports House Ways and Means Chair Wilbur Mills says welfare cost concerns delay a sweeping Social Security welfare measure. Proposals shield big states from higher state funding while awaiting full cost figures from HEW. Mills aims to report the bill by May while noting limited relief for cities and potential help from a future national health insurance plan. He also plans hearings on Nixon's revenue sharing plan, which he opposes.
