Other assistance came from business organizations, radio and television stations and advertising agencies. The Salt Lake Council helped distribute educational literature for the drive throughout schools in the Salt Lake Valley. Officials of the two sponsoring groups .said they hope the money will be used to help continue the Institute for Special Education at the University to train teachers for the thousands of handicapped children in Utah.

As sistant Attorney General Perry W. Morton testified the other day that Indians have filed claims against the government for pay ment for 1320 million acres of land. There are only 1900 million acres of land in the entire United State. Thus Indians are asking the government to pay them for 66 per cent of the entire land in the nation. Counselors.
