A-2 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Sunday, January 20, 1974 Rationing Woman Governor Accepted illlV MM The population at her pueblo, which regrouped in 1930 after most members had moved away for jobs, has been on the increase in the last few years. The original population was onlv 20, some of whom were bter found working in Colorado. MISS DURAN said the tribal regrouping was the result of government plans to transfer Pojoaque lands to the nearby Nambe Pueblo. Government officials warned that unless the Pojoaque people returned and occupied their land, it would be transferred to Nambe. The original 20 members of the pueblo included five families, Miss Duran said.

They remain today along with the addition of a sixth family. Pueblo residents were once part of six other local pueblos now in the area. The Pojoaque Tribal Council meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Some of the current programs are Headstart, Neighborhood Youth Corps, summer recreation and Tewa language classes. MRS.

ROMERO said the language classes have become popular with the younger pueblo members, who are eager to learn their ancestral tongue. Another program, she noted, is the movement toward tradition through dances on feast day. Or.e such event occurred last Dec. 12. After more than 100 years, the pueblo held its first traditional dance on Our Lady of Guadalupe Feast Day.

Mrs. Romero said a large crowd was on hand for the day.

Bonding for Sunbell Opposed by Pueblos More than 2500 volunteers will begin contacting Albuquerque residents Monday, the kickoff day for a week-long Mothers' March for the March of Dimes. Money raised towards this year's goal will be used to combat birth defects, Mrs. Gail Saavedra, Mothers' March chairperson, said. "Medical authorities estimate that last year improved maternal and child care could have saved the lives of 14,000 infants," Mrs.

Saavedra said. "Gains are being made, but public support is essential," she said. "This is why 2500 Albuquerque mothers have volunteered to help raise these needed funds." Mrs. Saavedra also said that donations to the Mothers' March would put the contributor's stamp of approval on the efforts of scientists, professional and paraprofessional medics in conducting research and providing medical services. Mrs.

Loretta Armenta, March of Dimes volunteer and the mother of a child born with birth defects, said, "Manv of us take our health for granted, and sometimes only the parents of children born with birth defects can truly appreciate the need for donations." "We hope thiscampaign will help raise the $75,000 we seek so we can make life better for these children," she added. By JIM LARGO Of The Journal Staff POJOAQUE The only woman ever to be elected governor of an Indian pueblo has taken the traditional "Lincoln cane" of her post and says she is being accepted as a leader by the all-male council and tribal members at tiny Pojoaque Pueblo. "Everyone from the pueblo has expressed his support," said new governor Betty Duran, 26. AndMissDuranisnot alone. PUEBLO VOTERS followed her preference and elected another woman, Mrs.

Josie Romero, 32 the wife of a former pueblo governor as Poj-oaque's lieutenant governor. They also elected Mrs. Rubie Gutierrez, 36, secretary treasurer, making the executive staff at the pueblo all-female. Miss Duran is one of 19 governors serving about 30,000 pueblo Indians in New Mexico. She was elected to a one-year term.

She said there are a number of men at Pojoaque Pueblo, many of who were young men who have been trained in business management. "I don't know why they did not want to run for governor," Miss Duran said. SHE WAS elected to the governorship after being nominated during elections Jan. 1. She took office the same day.

"They gave me the cane and everything on that day," she said. Away from the pueblo, she is a full-time employe of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and works as a general loan specialist in Santa Fe. Trading Post Car Robbed Of Jewelry Almost $24,000 worth of Indian jewelry was taken in a burglary at a store and a theft from a car Friday, police said. In the first incident, which occured about noon, a burglar broke into the Tobe Turpen Trading Post, 1701 W. Central, and escaped with more than worth of jewelry.

AN EMPLOYE at the store said she and another employe left for lunch and failed to turn on the burglar alarm. They returned about a half hour later and discovered the jewelry missing. Police said someone apparently pried boards off a hole in the side of the store with a crow bar to get in. The hole was made during a burglary at the store about a year ago, officers said. Once inside, the burglar scooped 15 squash blossoms, worth $7500, 45 turquoise bracelets, valued at $4050, and three bolo ties worth $270, into a paper bag and fled, police said.

NINE HOURS later a thief grabbed a briefcase containing $12,000 worth of assorted Indian jewelry out of an unattended car at 927 Coors SW. Warren Walker, 55, said he left his car unlocked "for two or three minutes" while he went into a nearby store. When he returned the briefcase was gone. "I just had a busy day and just forgot to lock the car," Walker told the Journal. "I was gone for just two or three minutes so I guess they were watching me." He said the jewelry, which included 400 silver rings worth $8000 and three squash blossoms valued at $1000, was marked with his store's emblem a "rocking In Spring Rnled Out Continued from A-l returns from a month-long recess to deal with the energy crisis, amid indications it might go even further in efforts to curb the role of the oil companies.

REP. WILBUR D. Mills, said Saturday his House Ways and Means Committee would go to work within the next two weeks on a stiff windfall profits tax he predicted would exceed 50 per cent and would be intended to force the oil companies to spend more on research and exploratory drilling. "I've told the industry they've had a bad image," Mills said in an interview. "The American people think they've had extra tax preferences, and they have." Sen.

Henry M. Jackson, said top executives of seven of the largest U.S. oil companies will testify under oath Monday before his Senate permanent investigations subcommittee. "We are going to ascertain, once and for all, the exact nature, extent and causesof the fuel shortage," Jackson said. "This can be the first step in presenting to the Congress and the American people all of the relevant facts, and replacing rumor and innuendo with solid, hard information" on refinery operations, costs and profits, imports and other details." IN HIS RADIO speech, the President said he was convinced that "the shortages are genuine, they may become more severe, and they are potentially dangerous." But he said he would "not allow the American people to be the victims of a 'snow job' by the oil companies by relying solely on their private assessments of the crisis.

Hundreds of federal energy office inspectors are conducting a thorough audit of oil company records, Nixon said. "If the reports are not satisfactory, I shall ask the heads of the major oil companies to meet with me personally in Washington so that I can get the facts I need to make decisions that are right," he said. THE PRESIDENT said he would continue diplomatic efforts to end the Arab oil embargo and stabilize prices, but that Americans must continue to conserve energy and support research for alternative power and fuel sources to make the nation self-sufficient in energy by 1980. Domestically, Nixon reported that U.S. gasoline consumption last month was nearly 9 per cent below previous estimates, natural gas usage was down by 6 per cent from a year ago, and that electricity con-sumptipon was 10 per cent lower.

For its part, he said, the federal government's energy consumption has been reduced by more than 20 per cent below anticipated demand. Inanobviouseffortto counter widespread skepticism in Congress and the publicover whetherthe energy shortage was real, the President warned against slackening of conservation measures. IF AMERICANS "slide back into the wasteful consumption of energy, then the full force of the energy crisis will be brought home to America in a most devastating fashion," Nixon said, "and there will be no longer any question in anyone's mind about the reality of the crisis."

Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Campaign Reform Package Completed by Task Force The governors asked the All-Indian Pueblo Council in Albuquerque to hold an informational rally for all state Indian artistsand craftsmen during January to discuss ways of stopping Sunbell from making Indian jewelry. No date was set for the rally.

The governors also said they will ask Atty. Gen. David Norvell to investigate Sunbell Corp. The City Commission on Jan. 14 approved Sunbell's application for $4 million in revenue bonds to establish a plant, despite AIPC's request for postponement until the governors discussed it, Ernest Lovato, AIPC secretary, said.

"The plant will mass produce imitation Indian jewelry and sell it nationwide. They are making money, calling it Indian jewelry. "My brother makes jewelry. I make Indian jewelry too. I like to spend a whole month to make something.

Now they (Sunbell) will put them out in just a few minutes," Lovato said. The governors authorized AIPC to draft a resolution, stating the Pueblo Indian position, to Norvell. From the Journal's Santa Fe Bureau SANTA FE The Governor's Election Reform Task Force Saturday concluded the drafting of a comprehensive and already controversial legislative package to be introduced this session as two separate measures candidate financial disclosure and campaign practice reforms. ONE PROVISION would make the measure apply to candidates running in the November 1974 general election. Among the campaign By JIM LARGO SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO Nineteen Indian Pueblo governors Saturday decided to seek a reversal of the City Commission's approval authorizing revenue bonds to Sunbell Corp.

to establish an Indian jewelry making plant on the West Mesa. At their first meeting of the year, the governors, more than half of them new, agreed that the "arts and crafts are next to food and water to Indians" and "moves by non-Indians are undermining the Indian people." Chinese MIGs Bomb Islands Continued from A-l unknown number of men were missing from the sunken ships. A radar-guided Styx sank the Vietnamese patrol ship, Saigon said. Following that, Vietnamese ships "disengaged," spokesmen said, and sailed for Da Nang, 200 miles to the west. "The situation is this said one source, "we have ships on the west side of the Archipelago, and the Chinese are on the east.

We are watching each ether." The Chinese have built up their task force to 14 ships, the Vietnamese said, and have landed troops on three of the islands. ALTHOUGH MOST experts expressed puzzlement over the reason for the latest fighting over the desolate islands midway be-tweenthe coast of South Vietnam and China's Hainan Island, it could be explained by possible oil deposits under the South China Sea. Armenta reform package was either too tough or too cumbersome to win legislative approval. "I DOUBT the chances of passage but on tech-nicalties though it will be picked apart but on the disinterest of the legislature in enacting it. All I can hope is that citizens will push for it," said task force member Gene Galle-sos, a Santa Fe Democrat.

Pistol Bullet Fatal to Girl A Santa Ana girl was killed late Friday when she was struck in the cheek by a bullet from a 357 magnum pistol, Sandoval County Sheriff Robert Budagher said. Ruth Tenorio was killed while she was with three people in a mobile home just north of Bernalillo, the sheriff said. "We've been taking statements from two boys and a girl all day and it is possible that the shooting was self-inflicted or accidental," Budagher told the Journal.

"We don't have any concrete information," he said. "They were all whooping it up in the trailer and somehow the girl got shot." The four had apparently been dancing at a club in Albuquerque prior to the incident then returned to Bernalillo, police said. Motel Robbed Two men brandishing snub-nose revolvers escaped with $65 after robbing the Casa Grande Motel, 2625 W. Central, and one of the guests early Saturday, police reported. A clerk at the motel said the men asked for a room thenpulledthegunsand said "this is a stick up." DINING SETS ONLY by THE MANUFACTURER FACTORY DIRECT WE MAKE OUR OWN 'Cosmopolitan' 259 Reg.

With a copy of the refined document in hand, the bipartisan task force will meet this week with Gov. Bruce King and majority and minority leaders of both houses to determine how and when the package will be introduced. Some voting and ex-offi-ciotask force members said after its seven-hour Saturday meeting that the additions would become imperative, he did say that "as time goes on, we're going to have to have more." He has planned no strategy for his campaign, he said.butwill be talking about issues as they come up "day by day." And he again stressed that he does not plan to change his judgments, some of which detractors criticize as too "liberal." AND ALTHOUGH he believes the courts have been ignored for too long, recent indications from City Hall lead him to believe that "they're trying their best" to remedy the situation.

"The courts were being neglected, I'm frank about that, but now there's a move to give us what we need. But the probation department is in the old Chamber of Commerce Bldg. and I want it in the same building." The proposal that all courts, probation offices and so forth be placed in the same structure meets with his approval, Robins said, "providing that the city is ready for it. That's uptothem.Ithinkit'sa good idea." WE MAKE KITCHEN Originals NOBODY UNDERSELLS 1C0 SETS TO SEE in ev ery conceivable style, shape, siie and color. and 7 pc.

I want to help build it up. I want to be part of it." There are now four Municipal Court judges but only three courtrooms in the police building and one of those cannot be used full time as a courtroom, Robins complained.

"I think the building shouldbe solely forthe police. We're cramped and they're cramped. We don't have the room that we need and we don't have the facilities that we need." When the population of Albuquerque was 100,000, Robins pointed out, there were two municipal judges. "The population is now 260,000 and we just got the fourth judge. It took us a long time to get him." Are more judges necessary? Robins believes that, with four prosecutors and an augmented police force, there is "enormous extra work" for the courts but while he declined to say when he thought further DONT BE LEFT OUT Book Your Vacation Now One-week Bargain Tours to Europe Lisbon or London $304 Madrid or Paris $314 Rome $359 Eight Day Bible Land Seminar $647 British Isles Tour 1 6 days (from Denver) $797 Nine Day Budget European Holiday (from Denver) $478 Classical Tour to Italy Greece (from Denver) $936 All fares subject to change without notice.
