Show HELP GIVEN NAVAJOS Government Feeding Snowbound Indians - Operating overland and by air, the federal government was engaged en-gaged in the business of caring for its snowbound Navajo wards. Caught almost as helplessly as . cattle in the worst blizzard to strike the plains states in years, Indians on the vast Navajo reservation were being fed by a 300-mile lifeline life-line maintained by the government. With sheep and cattle starving and freezing, with horse transporta tion impossible, the Navajos were in actual distress. The government's radian service doctors reported the health situa tion was fairly good among the 60.000 Indians living within the reservation area. Workers toiled with all kinds of mobile equipment to get through to families cut off for six weeks. |
