Slated for House debate next
week, the bill wraps into a single

more than 40 federal agencies. Not
included are foreign aid and mil

propriations, aggregating $11,592,
751,053.
The bill’s total is $1,567,900,504
less than the President requested
and, if approved by Congress,
would result in an estimated fed

July 1. The appropriations provid

In actual cash, the bill appro

Secretary of interior Chapman

“It is high time,” Jackson told a
reporter, “to stop treating th.e In-,
dian as a second class citizen. In
dians ought to be treated just as
other citizens and assimilated into
our population. Why talk about a
civil rights program if we are not
going to apply it to the first Amer

Jackson criticized the Interior
Department's handling of Indian
affairs including operation of
schools for Indian children alone.
It is just a Jim Crow program
for the Indians and should be
ended he said. I believe the Indi

make loans and grants to help
them reach their proper place in
our civilization.
dent requested and $832,013,180
less than was provided for com
parable activities this year.
In addition, it provides author
ity for government agencies to en
ter into contracts totaling $1,778,

less than the President sought and
$1,877,408,128 less than was pro

finance these authorizations.
The appropriations committee
pointed out that the cash cuts
would mean a reduction of $979,

spending in the fiscal year 1951.
