Bar Association
To Investigate
Indian Bureau
*
WASHINGTON, (iP)~ The Am
erican Bar Association has decid
ed to investigate the Indian Bur
eau’s policies regarding approval
j of attorney contracts with Indian
; tribes.
The investigation will be made
by a five-man committee headed
by Rufus G. Poole, chairman of
the Association’s administrative
law section. All committee mem
bers are attorneys in private prac
tice here.
Poole told a reporter the Asso
* j
ciation has received complaints
on the subject “all the way from
San Francisco to New York.”
He said the committee has asked I
Secretary of the Interior Chap-1
man to arrange for interviews
with officials of the Indian j
Bureau.
Poole said the group will look
into whether “the Bureau is un
reasonably interfering with choice
of attorneys by Indian tribes, con
travening the canons of ethics of
the Bar Association, exercising
questionable statutory authority,
or acting in a manner unfair to
Indian tribes and attorneys alike.

Governor Veto*
Property Tax Awipr ^ - --ft.
JUNEAU, (JP), Governor Gruen
ing yesterday vetoed Rep. Amelia
Gundersen’s bill amending Ith^
general property tax law to re
duce the tax on commercial fish
ing vessels from $4 to $2 a net
ton. Greuning said he vetoed the
bill for two reasons:
1. He did not believe it proper
to legislate on a subject while it
was before the courts.
2. It has not been shown that
commercial boat owners, as a
class, should be singled out for
relief of the nature proposed.
The general property tax law
which Rep. Gundersen (D-Ketchi
kan) proposed to amenc} is now
before the circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco.
Gruening signed a bill reducing
the bounty on hair seals from $6
to $3 and limiting the geographi
cal area within which seals may
be taken for bounty.
