Indians Seen Facing
Relocation or Starvation
NEW YORK. Dec. 25 {IP). —Many American Indians, says
a leading Indian interest organization, are faced with this choice:
Leave their homes on the reservation to move Into large indus
trial cities—or starve.
The Association on American Indian Affairs. Inc., in a report
on Its survey of the Government’s controversial relocation pro-
gram, says the program is
humanely operated” and needed
by the destitute Indians living a
barren existence on undeveloped
reservations.
Under relocation, reservation
Indians are resettled at Gov
ernment expense in industrial
centers—Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Denver. Chicago. St. Louis
and San Jose—where year
round employment is available.
Point 4 Program
The association, however. 1
urges the Government’s Bureau
of Indian Affairs to get behind
a Point 4 program to "elevate
American Indian communities to
the level of health and well j
being prevailing elsewhere in the
United States.”
The survey team, headed by
Dr. Mary H. S. Hayes, formerly
head of the New York Office of
the War Relocation Authority :

1 placement. National Youth Ad
ministration in Washington,
I spent months in on-the-spot re
search and study.
The report, undertaken with
• the assistance of the field foun
-1 datlon, was written by La Verne
Madlgan, the association’s execu
i tive director. It was adopted
• by the association's board of
, directors, composed of prominent
citizens from various professions.
Oliver La Farce, the writer, is
' the association's president.
! More than $1 million was
spent in the last fiscal year in
| relocating about 4,275 persons.
Will Carry Blame
The report said, however, that
i “as long as the relocation pro
’ gram remains the only program
■ being carried out visibly and
’ vigorously for the Indians, as
’ long as the Indians have no
; economic choice between reloca-
tlon and something else, that
long will the program have to
carry the blame for all the bu
reau’s and the country’s omis
sions.”
The survey team found bitter
opposition between local organ!-1
i zations—such as clubs, churches
and Indian centers—and the re
location offices in the big cities.
These community groups were
right, says the association, in
questioning the motives of thej
program, but ‘‘in their almost
. exclusive concern with Federal
Indian policy they failed to
! strengthen the Indian newcom
ers’ belief in their ability to
! succeed.”
Potential Restricted
Between them, says the ro
| port, “in their contradictory ln
; terpretations of the program
; (they have) created two new
stereotypes of the American In
| dian. The old stereotypes were
the scalping savage and the no
; ble redman. To these have now
been added Horatio Alger from
the reservation and the paleo
lithic innocent set adrift in the
atomic age. The real Indian is
. not identifiable from these char
acterizations when he arrives in
the relocation city.”
Because he has been confus
ingly pictured to the community,
' the Indian's potential for good
citizenship and happiness Is
'Mad Bomber' Hunted
After New York Scare
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S UP). —Police intensified their all-out
search for New York’s so-called “mad bomber” today after dis
covery of a homemade explosive In the city’s huge public library.
A library page boy made a chance discovery of the bomb
yesterday in a second-floor telephone booth. He had dropped
a coin, stooped over to pick it up and then noticed the missile.
It was wrapped in a maroon
colored sock and affixed to the
bell box by a magnet.
Unconcerned, David Cruz, 19.
the page boy, completed his call
and took the pipe-type object
to some fellow page boys for
scrutiny. Frightened by their
belief it was a bomb fashioned
by the “mad bomber,” young
Crus chucked it out a rear win
dow of the library.
It landed in a clump of ivy
in Bryant Park. The apparatus
didn’t explode and no one was
hurt.
Police Swann tc Scene
The episode, however, soon
turned the heart of Manhattan
into a storm of excitement and
activity. It brought police
swarming to the scene.
Mindful of a series of bomb
threats and explosions in public
places for the past 16 years,
police cleared the park and the
surrounding area of all vehicular
and pedestrian traffic. It didn’t
resume again for an hour and
a half.
Tied up was one of the busiest
streets in America, a section of
42d street between Fifth and
Sixth avenues clogged with
Christmas shoppers. The huge
concrete library structure, which
has some 8,500 visitors in a nor
mal day, faces Fifth avenue at
42d street.
Sixty policemen, led by some
of the department's highest
; ranking officers, converged on
ithe scene. Up rolled a special
steel-covered truck, manned by
a helmeted bomb squad wearing
steel suits and masks.
The bomb squad placed the
missile, measuring some 8
inches in length and 4 .inches
in diameter, in the truck.’ Other
policemen shooed way curious
onlookers and vehicles as the
truck made its way to an empty
lot, some distance from the li
brary.
Kept Under Guard
There it stayed under guard.
Police planned to move it to Fort
Tilden in Rocks way. Queens, for
dismantling today when traffic
was lessened.
It will remain under observa- *
only dimly recognized, says the
report.
Social agency case workers
told the research team that
many Indian needs go unmet be
cause the community is not it
self moving forward to meet the
diffident newcomers.
The report says the problem
of reservation Indians trying to
adjust in urban society is the
responsibility of all Americans. 1
tion for 72 hours. If it hasn’t
exploded by then, it will be dis
mantled by bomb experts.
A cursory examination led
police to believe it was of the
same type which had been
planted since 1940 in dozens of
theaters, bus and train stations
and other public places. Some
bombs have exploded, causing
injury.
It was the second time a bomb
had been planted in the library.
A similar pipe bomb exploded in
1951 with slight damage in a
ground floor telephone booth.
1 Police ordered an all-out search
for the “mad bomber” December
13 following the bombing of a
i Brooklyn movie house. Six per
sons were injured. Police believe
the “bomber” is a psychopath,
mad at the world.

Buses in Montgomery
Operate on Holiday
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 25
W).—Montgomery city buses
were operating on a curtailed 1
holiday schedule today as white
and Negro passengers continued
their adjustment to desegregated
seating.
Yesterday a 15-year-old Negro
girl was beaten, but not seriously
hurt by several white men near
a bus stop after one of the men
reportedly shouted, “Don’t ride
the bus anymore.”
It was the most serious racial
disturbance since a Federal
ICourt order banning bus segrega
tion went into effect here last
Friday.
There have been reports of
minor friction between the two
races in connection with the new
bus seating policy but nothing as
serious as yesterday’s Incident.
