Plan Three-Man
Task Force Visits
To Native Villages
WASHINGTON — Secretary
of the Interior Stewart L. Udall
and Gov. Wm. Egan of Alaska have
announced plans for a three-man
task force to visit native villages
in Alaska and study Indian Bureau
operations there during June.
W. W. Bartlesville, Okla., oil
company executive and principal
chief of the Cherokee Indian tribe,
will be chairman of the group.
Keeler headed a similar task force
that studied Indian Bureau opera
tions in other states during the
spring of 1961.
The other members are Hugh
Wade, Secretary of State for Alas
ka, and James E. Officer, Asso
ciate Indian Commissioner, who
served with Keeler on the earlier
task force.
Robert L. Bennett, the Bureau’s
Area Director at Juneau, and
Burke Riley, chairman of the In
terior Department’s Alaska Field
Committee, will accompany the
task force members.
Udall said that in a sense the
Alaska study will be a continua
tion of the earlier task force’s ex
amination of bureau policies and
operations.
He said the study will be con
cerned with such matters as na
tive land rights, problems of native
fisheries in the southeastern part;
of the state, educational needs ofj
the natives, and many other re
lated topics.
Though the itinerary has not
been determined in full, present
plans call for a series of meetings
with the native people, starting
at Anchorage on June 11.
Subsequent meetings are sched
uled to be held over a period of
three weeks at Bethel, Unalakleet,
ttvritvy jrKvwcvucf mini nope, jjar
row, Fort Yukon, Fairbanks, Ju
neau and Ketchikan.
Even educators can’t agree on

MYSTERY RANSOM FIGURE
DIES FROM HEART ATTACK
ST. LOUIS MR—Louis Shoulders,
the former St. Louis police lieu
tenant who figured in the Green
lease ransom mystery, is dead of
a heart attack at 61. Shoulders
maintained to the end that he had
nothing to do with the missing
$300,000.
He served a two-year term for
perjury in connection with the in
vestigation of the ransom money,
which came to $600,000. A little
more than half of it disappeared,
and the case remains unsolved.
Shoulders, known as a tough,
fearless officer, was hailed as a
hero when he arrested Carl Austin
Hall, the kidnap-killer of little
Bobby Greenlease of Kansas City,
the night of Oct. 6, 1953.
Shoulders and patrolman Elmer
Dolan took Hall and two suitcases
filled with ransom money to the
police station, then it was discover
ed that $300,00U was missing.
Shoulders and Dolan later were
indicted for lying about the hand
ling of the suitcases.
Shoulders was stricken at his
home Friday and died at Jewish
Hospital.
Shoulders insisted the money
was spirited away from Hall the
night before the arrest.
