Show FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1971 Page Eight Indians in This Region to Receive $5.9 Million in EEA Funds The first step toward imple- menting the Emergency Employment Act (EEA) for Indian reservations was taken Sept. 27 in Denver. William Mirengoff, national director of the Public Employment Program (PEP), and fYank Potter, Regional Director of the Labor Departments Manpower Administration, met with representatives of the Navajo Reservation, five intertribal organizations and one staite to work out the programs under which eligible tribes would receive federal funds to put employed Indians to work providing needed services. Approximately $5.98 million would be available to the seven program agents. This represents 70 per cent of the $8.4 million allocated to all Indians in the nation. These funds are part of the $1 billion EEA progam that Con-grenacted in July to employ 120,000 jobless people in necessary public service jobs. The PEP director pointed out that the funding for Indian res- es ervations is proportionately five times greater than for other groups in the nation because of any measure, Indian reservations suffer from the most severe economic conditions. EEA funds will be available to all eligible reservations. However, to simplify administration the Department of Labor will make grants to combinations of tribes who will in turn make sub grants to individual tribes. Because of the size of the Navajo Nation they will be funded directly. The decision to place the responsibility for this program directly with the Indian reflects our belief in the philosophy of self determination for Indians. Mr. Potter announced that the funding of the reservatoins represented at the meeting would be handled by the Denver, San Francisco "and Kansas City regional offices for the Manpower Administration. He said that the $5.9 million allocated would provide about 1,000 jobs in health, education, law enforcement, recreation and other pursuits.

Kennecott Copper Corporation To Receive Nothing from Chile Kennecott Copper Corporation will get nothing for its 49 equity interest in the expropriated El Teniente mine, Frank R. Milliken, president of Kenne-cot- t, stated. In response to the $410 million excess profits deduction from the bok value of El Teniente ore, dered by Chilean President Milliken said. President Allende has somehow computed Kennecotts alleged excess profits over the last 15 years to be more than our total earnings from Chile in that period and more than the entire net worth of El Teniente. During the 55 years the mine has been in operation it has produced a gross income of $3,430 million, of which $2,491 million remained in Chile. $430 million was expended outside Chile for imports of machinery, materials and supplies and services, and $509 million, or an average of $9.3 million per year, received by Kennecott. The excess profits deduction would reduce Kennecotts earnings over the period to less than a 2 rate of return on investment. In addition to the deductions for excess profits, the Chilean government is also considering reducing by $219 million, the appraised value of El Teniente, and disallowing $239 million spent largely in expanding El Tenien-te- s capacity from 180 thousand to 280 thousand tons of copper a year. The government contends some of the expansion facilities are not now in good operating condition. These deductions total $868 million. Kennecott also holds $82.9 million worth of notes representing loans made to El Teniente since 1967, when Kennecott sold a 51 interest in the property to the Chilean government. Loans by Kennecott. the Export-Impo- rt Bank of the United States, Banca Commerciale Italiana, Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and the Chilean government financed the expansion of El Tenientes capacity.

Most hunters are anxious to get into the field and all to frequently throw ' good judgment to the wind while driving. Ending up a traffic victim could result in the entire hunting trip being cancelled. Remind hunters that it is illegal to discharge any kind of a firearm from an automobile or other vehicle, or to discharge a firearm from, upon, or across any public highway. Too, hunters are advised that it is illegal to carry any firearm in the vehicle with live ammunition in the firing chamber. A little common sense, can make the 1971 hunting season more enjoyable by all Utahns. And as a parting word of caution, Barlow reminded hunters that cows and horses are not on the list of game animals to be hunted. Hunters carelessness has ' caused many farmers to close their land to hunting. "Community Service Day" Proclaimed by Gov. Rampton Governor Calvin L.
