(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
With the Datum's eyes on the ski-
es. not mach attention is being
paid to the long-time struggle on
earth over the direction our seapo-
wer is to take. The Navy's go-slow
policy toward an atomicpowered
surface fleet is slowly undergoing
a change, but under pressure. Un-
til just recently, the conservative
Navy brass had stuck by its guns
in holding firmly that nuclear pro-
pulsion is fine for submarines but
a luxury for the surface fleet.
But pressure is mounting, and the
admirals are being forced to back-
water.

The fact that photographs are
playing an important part in the
nation's observance of Civil War
centennial year is largely due to
the work of one man. Matthew

showing, went on tour around the

It took a long, long time, but...
the poor Indian, has come into his
in Wisconsin. Alter years of
that saw generation
after generation come and go. Con-
gress in ISM decided that the Meno-
minee Indian tribe was ready for
self-government. The dream be-
came a reality at the end of April
of this year, when the Menominees
became full citizens of the land
ot their birth. The tribe became
tree of federal control and took ov-
er ownership of the land they have
occupied in Northeastern Wisconsin
since they came to terms with the
white man more than one century
ago.
At that time, the Indians describ-
ed the land to which they were
assigned as the place nobody want-
ed. Today the 365 square miles of
timberland. 330 miles of trout
Streams and 82 lakes comprise a
highly prized area. The Menomin-
ees have lived peaceably in the
area since IKH when Chief Osh-
kosh agreed with settlers in the Fox
River Valley and the state and fe-
deral governments to settle on the
reservation, at that time a long
voyage up the Wolf River by canoe.
Now the big reservation area baa
been taken over by a tribal or gam-1
zation called Menominee Enterpris-
es Incorporated. It has become
Wisconsin's 72nd county, and will
be operated by the enterprises or-
ganization made up of the 3,72b
members of the tribe.
In modern times, the Menomin-
ees' ehief has been James Frechet-
te. but he stepped aside last fall
after 12 years as tribal chairman
and 2B years as a member of the
tribal advisory council. The pre-
sent chairman is Jerome Grignon.
who makes much af the point that,
while the Menominees still pursue
their natural activities at fishing,
hunting and trapping, they also are
businessmen.
The tribe operates a modern saw-
mill and logging business, with
about 85 per cent of the Indians!
earning a living by timber; The'
sawmill and logging business em-
ploys 350 full - time men and as
many as 500 in busy seasons. The
products of the forests of mixed
pine and northern hardwoods bring
in about 2 million dollars a year, j
The Menominees produce aboutI
20 million feet ofTogs annually and r
some 2 million cords of pulpwood.
