Sollup (NM) Independent--Sept 14, 1970 Nixon Hails I Tnm DM) many fields --'at a rale and to the degree that the Indians themselves "I am pleased to see this example of community control in and I wish you every success in your endeavor." The telegram was delivered to the Board by Bobbie Greene, a White House Fellow who attended the dedication. The telegram was read at the beginning of the program by Congressman Ed Foreman, who was present to give a U.S. flag, that had been flown at the U.S. Capitol, to the school. Juan Martins, president of the Ramah Navajo school board, remarked that members of other Indian Tribes are watching the school and for that reason School Board knows that it is important for them lo succeed since they are a model for others.

Sam Martinez, a school-board member, thanked the people from outside of Ramah who had helped with the school noting that Ramah is a poor community where people don't have many sheep or cattle and which needs outside help. Samantha Pino, who is one of the Ramah Navajos, who has returned home to attend the new school, was also a speaker at the dedication. She said that it was when many of the other sludenls were forced to go lo boarding schools when the old Ramah i school closed they began to gel into trouble. She said it was good to see so many of them now going to school in their own hometown. Visiting dignitaries introduc cd at the ceremonies includes a delegation from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Tribes Arizona led by H.

Royal Schurz vice-chairman; Murry Yatasee representing Zuni governor Robert Lewis; Mrs. Ladonna Harris a Comanche and wife ol Sen. Frod Harris, Dr Taylor McKenzie, Sam Billison and Leo Dcnetsonie. Representing Sen. Edward Kennedy and Mrs.

Ethel Kennedy was B. J. Stiles, Director of the Kennedy Fellows program of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation. The Kennedy Memorial aided in the creation of the school by assigning Don Olson, one of the Kennedy Fellows to work on the project since last March.

Olio Laula, a former DNA attorney, and currently a Kennedy Fellow also, has been assigned by the Foundation recently to work with Olson on the project. Stiles said of the Ramah Na vajo School Board that "it's their determination that is most He also said that when he met with them in the Spring he was most impressed with "the clarity of what they wanted to do." The School Board, which organized in February of this year, grew out of almost two years of efforts by Ramah Navajos to have local high school education returned to their community. The Gallup McKinley County School Board closed their Ramah High School in 1988 claiming that there were too few students attending the school to justify it slaying open. Two Associate commissioners of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Harold Cox and Anthony Lincoln led a group of BIA officials which also included Bill King, Director of the Bureau's Community Development division, Morris Thompson, Dale Wing and Walter Olson, Albuquerque Area Director. Lincoln said of the new school "I think it's great a darned good example of Indian self- determination.

As Navajo leaders have said for-a long time education Is the bridge to span cultural differences. This school is really significant." Also present were John Vance a federal Indian Claims commissioner who recruiled several college students last spring to a work on the schools summer program; and John Williams and John Elliott of the Edward Elliott Foundation, New York City, which helped finance the summer program. Tom Roper, Chairman of the Australian National Student Union Trust for Aboriginal Ed- icalion, who is touring various fndian schools in (he southwest, also attended Saturday's dedication. He was especially interested hat Ramah Navajos are bring- ng their children home from warding schools, "We've tried boarding schools for 150 years and they haven't worked once," he said. "They have jusl made the kids unhappy." Roper estimated that there are 200,000 aborigines in Australia, noting that until 1967 it was illegal for the commonwealth government to count them in the census.

He also said there are stirrings of movements for self-determination among Australian- aborigines. There was an aboriginal delegation at a third- world conference held over the Labor Day weekend at Atlanta, he said.

Johnston noted that the high elevation thin air problems were compounded Saturday by low barometric pressure since a storm was approaching. The helicopter hit both a tree and a telephone line at the edge of Johnston's field as it dropped into the field.

"AH kinds of Arabs, civilian and uniformed, were looking al us," she said in Nicosia. "They came inside the planes, parading up and down the crowdec aisles." In Amman, a former colone! in U.S. Army intelligence said he analyzed the tactics of psychological warfare in the hostages' treatment, "You ask about fear," said John H. Detwciler of Williamsport, Pa.

"They were practicing psychological warfare on us "If you weren't afraid then you had no real comprehension of the siluation and you understand Ihese fellows, the guerrillas. There was plenty of fear in my seat. I knew they had placed explosives in the plane." All three aircraft were blaslec into twisted junkpiles within 15 minutes after the hostages deplaned Saturday.

Members of 27 locals were exempted from strike action because their facilities sup ply Ford and Chrysler which were eliminated as national strike targets. "It Is quiet certain a strike will begin In U.S.

and Canadian plants at midnight Monday," UAW President Leonard Wood- conk said at the conclusion of the meeting with GM Sunday. Earl Bramblett, GM's top ne gotialor, said "the UAW always starts with fantastic demands' and "this year the demands are more fantastic and vague than usual." The 25-member UAW International Executive Board Sunday eliminated Chrysler as a strike target. Woodcock said the action was taken because Chrysler had indicated it was not a "free agent" in bargaining. He said GM appeared to be holding the final answers for a pattern-setting pncl. Production at Ford and Chrysler would not be affected by a strike.

Ford, struck for seven weeks in 1967, was eliminated as a strike target on Sept. Woodcock said it was felt Chrysler was simply following ihe lead of GM in the talks. Woodcock said he did not an- lidpale any move by the Nixon administration to invoke provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act fo avert a strike. He said there was no problem of grave nation al concern involved in the talks Chief issues in the stalled Woodcock said, were the iinion's demands for a substantial wage increase, unlimited protection against increases in ihe cost of living and retirement after 30 years at a minimum monlhly pension of $500. "I very honestly did not ox pect a strike this year," Wood cock said after the meeting with GM Sunday evening.

"We had no ideological problems it was simply a matter of arithmetic." 'I believe the reason they have taken this hard line is that have other fish to said Woodcock, explaining lie GM actively sought a strike Tor reasons not directly related lo current negotiations which Began July 15. The company has repeatedly denied it sought a strike. "N'o- Mdy wins a strike," Bramblett said several times during the talks. "Everybody loses." The union lowered its original first year wage hike demand Saturday from an average of $1 to 63 cents an hour. GM offered 38 cenls.

The current average hourly wage in the auto industry is $4.02 and (lie companies say fringe benefits cost an additional an hour. No cost estimates have been made on either union demands or company proposals for additional fringe ben efits. GM said its latest offer would cost $1.9 billion in wages alone during the three-year contract. As the talks resumed today, preparations for a strike were nearly complete in the 138 U.S. anil seven Canadian locals where thousands of picket signs reading "United Auto Workers on Strike Against GM" were already printed.

The union's $120 million strike iund would last less than eight weeks if the strike materializes against GM. Strike benefits would average about $40 a week. Some wildcat strike broke out in Canadian locals on Friday and similar action was expected on a limited basis today in some U.S. plants. The Canadian- workerscm- ployed at GM plants at Ste.
