Efforts Made To Draft Manuelito Legislation (From the Independent Washington Bureau) By HELENE C. MONBERG WASHINGTON Efforts are now underway within the Department of Interior to draft legislation to establish the Manuelito area west of Gallup as a national monument. This was made clear in a letter from Indian Commissioner Glenn L.

Emmons ot Gallup to State Attorney General Fred Standley of Nov. 13. Emmons stated: "The preparation of a draft of a bill to establish the proposed Man- Mayor Proclaims 'Diabetes Week' Mayor D. F. Mqlica has pro- i including men, women and child- claimed this week as Diabetes in Gallup.

The observance of Diabetes Week "offers everybody an opportunity to become better informed about this majb'r health Hazard and to take individual protection against it," he added. In recent years, diabetics have been able to 'live practically normal lives with daily self-injections of insulin, careful diets and constant hygienic care. In the diabetic, fhc pancreas foils to produce sufficient Insulin, a hormone which help to convert and fuel for body energy. As a result the body uses other as fat and energy. Unless better conversion of carbohydrates is mado possible for the diabetes victim, it veentually leads lo coma and possibly death.

The importance of early detection of diabetes cannot be overestimated, according to medical experts. Dr. Howard Hoot, medical director of Boston's Joslin Clinic, says Uint 12 "to 15 per rent of all pntirnfs admitted lo the clinic in diabetic coma aro unaware that they have diabetes. uelito National Monument has Emmons said. "No information has been delayed, pending the development of a memorandum of understanding between the National Park Service and this Bureau relating to the rights and privileges of the Navajo Indians on lands within the boundaries of the proposed monument area.

We have just received a letter from Mr. Norm an M. Littell, attorney for the Navajos, discussing some of the issues involved in the proposal. "You may be sure that this Bureau endeavor to resolve any divergent views relating to the rights of the Navajos to use the land within the' monument area so that a legislative proposal may be ready for submission when the Congress convenes in Money Invested Standley had written to Emmons Oct. 28, noting that the state of New Mexico had invested some a great deal of time to acquire some land in the Manuelito area to turn over to the National Park Service if and when the area became a national monument.

''Rumors have that the Manuelito Park proposal "is still connected with" another- land transfer south of Gallup under which the Bureau of Land Management 'and the Navajos would make an exchange to block off Indian and public land and thereby make it more usable. Currently the land in the area is chec- kerboarded. If such rumors are true, Standley said, "This comes as a great disappointment" to the state. "We think that it is a pressure move which might ultimately kill Manuelito Park entirely. Should this happen, it wouldtbe a gross breach of faith on the part of the govern-1 mont nf the United States with thr- state nf New Mexico.

We sincerely! that these rumors arc not: true, and that Manuelito V--U1 severed from the other land ex-; change." Standley wrote Emmons. Gallup Meeting At niL-L'tfng hold in Gallup Aug. 14 on Manuelito. Emmons said, it was explained that the land exchange would be separated from the monument proposal, and that, would be "the subject of a separate bill." This will be done, come to my attention which 'would provide a basis "for such rumors as you mention," Emmons assured Standley. A check made by Ihe Independent Washington Bureau indicates that two bills are to be drafted.

But the draft on Manuelito is going I slowly because Littell and the Na- 1 tional Park Service have not a- grced on the rights, if any, that the Navajos are to have within the Monument area. In 1955 NPS and Bureau of Indian Affairs officials worked on an agreement giving the Navajos now on land lifetime grazing rights. It was never okayed. Now the Indians living on the 25.5%-acre area want heirship rights to it even after it has been set aside RS monument area. They also want to reserve mineral rights.

NPS claims these conditions arc unprecedented, and there is considerable question whether NPS will go along with them.

Stevenson told newsmen as he entered the State Department that he will try to be "helpful to the extent that I can agree" with Dulles' plans. He refused to say whether he had any specific proposals of his own. But he said on his arrival in Washington Sunday that "simply great effort in scientific and research and missile development is not a sufficient response to the challenge which is now apparent."
