4 SUNRISE THE TAMPA TRIBUNE. Monday. May 21. 1979 7.p FBI Agents Withdrawn From Indian Troublespot Jfutral motittX After the meeting, Stephanie Hanson said, "It was a military takover. That's what you had with your American revolution.

What's the matter with us having ours." Earlier Sunday, about 100 teen-agers rummaged through the burned-out ruins of the center and its garage, post office, two grocery stores and two homes that were destroyed by fire. About 45 burned-out pickup trucks and other vehicles littered the streets of the town, and many other vehicles had windows shot out. The town of Red Lake was relatively quiet Sunday afternoon and no gunfire was reported. About 3,000 Chippewas live on the reservation. The boys, aged 12 and 15, both died of gunshot wounds inflicted Saturday on the reservation in northern Minnesota, but the FBI said the deaths could not immediately be linked to the Indians' dispute.

However, Jourdain said the death of the 15-year-old, Vernon Lussier, was "connected" with the siege. The second youth was not immediately identified. The homes of Jourdain and cne of his supporters, Francis Brun, were burned down overnight No one was reported injured in the fires. Jourdain and Celestine BIA superintendent on the reservation, were taken to the Bemidji Jail early Sunday for their own protection, according to a source who declined to be identified. The violence erupted early Saturday when a group of 50 to 75 Indians took over the Red Lake Law Enforcement Center and locked up four police officers in the jail, authorities officers were released unharmed but shooting broke out later.

"All I saw was two men to begin with," said Joe Dudley, one of the four policemen on duty when the center was stormed. official in Washington agreed to replace the Bureau of Indian Affairs superintendent on the reservation, according to Tom Crawford, editor cf the Bemidji Pioneer, who attended the second meeting on the reservation. Forrest Gerard, assistant secretary for Indian affairs in the Interior Department, agreed to appoint Joe Head, tribal operations officer For the tribal council, as acting reservation superintendent, replacing Celestine Maus, Crawford said. Among those attending the meetings were Ed Demery, director of the Minneapolis office of the BIA, and Elmer Nitzschke, an attorney for the Interior Department, Crawford said. Head has been a vocal supporter of Stephanie Han: son, the ousted tribal official, in her dispute, with Roger Jourdain, president of the Red Lake Tribal Council.

LAKE, Minn: (AP) About 25 FBI agents were withdrawn Sunday night from the border of the ed Lake Indian Reservation after the burning of the jocal law enforcement center and the fatal shooting of two youths. -The FBI agents went to Bemidji, about 30 miles South of the reservation, after a day spent in what the JBI called "support positions" on the reservation's JboTder. A FBI spokesman said no arrest warrants had 4een issued and declined to say whether the agents return to the reservation area. The violence, which erupted at dawn Saturday and continued through early Sunday, was apparently set off by the dismissal of a tribal official, the latest development in a simmering dispute among factions of the Red Lake Chippewas.

In March 1978, 24 states had been ordered by courts to reduce prison crowding, the LEAA reports. Scores of suits were pending. Faced with these pressures, Biondi says, judges are increasingly putting a new twist on sentencing. But they are most prone to do so when dealing with first offenders, he says, adding: "I don't think judges are putting genuinely dangerous offenders on probation." Taxpayer revolt against the high cost of running prisons has accelerated this trend in some areas, among them California. In Berkeley, Brown was sentenced under and experimental "house arrest" program for non-violent, non-addicted offenders designed to reduce crowding in Alameda County jails.

The judge noted that Brown, a licensed vocational nurse, had never been in trouble before shot her husband in a struggle. "We don't have room in prisons for forgers and shoplifters. They're already full of murderers, so we have to try something," he later said. The National Council on Crime and Delinquency believes alternatives to jail like requiring offenders to pay restituion to victims or to do community service work is "the way to go," says spokesman Leonard Tropin. "We can no longer afford to punish County pleaded no contest last month charges that she abused her 8-year-pld daughter.

In California, Rebecca was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her husband. 1 Neither woman was sent to jail, Florida Circuit Judge Oliver Green Rodriguez on probation for 10 years. He ordered her not to become "pregnant during that time and not to "marry a man with children. He also re-moved her two children from her custody. Rodriguez has said she will appeal her sentence as too harsh.

When Rebecca Brown was convicted in the shooting death of her husband an alcoholic who beat her and ulti-. mately threatened her. with a gun wJudge Stanley Golde sentenced her to stay home for one year, reporting twice daily to a probation officer. Criminal justice officials say more (and more often judges are imposing such innovative sentences for serious crimes. One reason, officials say, is the soaring cost of running and building -j jails.

The Law Enforcement Assistance 'Administration says the mean cost of keeping one offender in prison for one is more than the cost of building a new high-security prison had soared, by 1978, to $50,876 per bed. These money pressures are ag ourselves along with offenders by imposing on ourselves the incredible financial burden of paying for jails," Tropin said. "When we do that, we don't get any better results than with community service alternative sentencing." John Ackermann, president of the American Probation and Parole Asso-, ciation, says alternatives to jail are increasingly widespread sentencing practices. He notes there are now about 1.4 million adult and juvenile offenders on probation or parole nationwide. "That's three times the number incarcerated in penal institutions;" he says.

"Judges are looking to use sentencing alternatives to incarceration. "This is a result of growing concern about the exhorbitant cost of incarceration and growing disenchantment with the rehabilitation record of penal stitutions. They have, not proven to be effective." Most formal alternative sentencing programs are aimed at minor offenders. But the LEAA is financing three experimental programs to provide intensive prpbatiin supervision, instead of jail, for offenders who are considered likely to repeat their offenses. Under, the programs in Florida, in Kane County, 111., and in Suffolk County, N.Y.

offenders meet with their probation officers several times a week. Probation officers also talk often with offenders' employers and family, Biondi said. Georgia's Fortson Dies ATLANTA (AP) Ben Fortson Georgia secretary of state for 34 years, died late Saturday of an apparent heart attack at his DeKalb County home. He was 74. According to DeKalb County Com' mission Chairman Walt Russell, Fortson collapsed at about 11 p.m.

and was pronounced dead by paramedics when they arrived at his residence. Fortson, who was appointed to the post in 1946, was never seriously chal-langed in his subsequent campaigns for reelection. Governors came and went, but "Mr. Ben" was an institution in Georgia politics. He was appointed secretary of state by Gov.

Ellis Arnall and held the post longer than anyone in Georgia history.

Gov. George Busbee.on hearing off Fortson's death, said, "No person loved Georgia than Mr. Ben, and no person will be missed by more Georgians. He was a great person and a great friend." A boxing champion during. his days at Georgia Tech, Fortson's legs were paralyzed in an automobile accident in 1929 when'he was 25.

He was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Doctors said at the time of the accident he would hot live more than 10 years. But in 1939 Fortson was elected to the first of four terms as a legislator representing his native Wilkes County. Fortson's most publicized official action was his sleight-of-hand with the state seal when two men claimed to be governor of Georgia in 1947. The flap over the seal erupted when Eugene Talmadge died before he could take office as governor.

His son, Herman, and the lieutenant governor, M.E. Thompson, both claimed the governorsip, but neither could take any official action without the state seal. Fortson, who was charged with guarding the seal, would not reveal its whereabouts until the courts resolved the dispute. Fortson then pulled the seal from beneath the cushion of his wheelchair. He had been "sitting on it like a setting of duck eggs," Fortson said later.
