Provocation Without A Tust Cause The Navajos are back to their old tricks again, covering up their invafion and takeover of Hopi property with a spokescreen of provocation charges including without a just cause by the Hopis who "are constructing a fence around Pasture Canyon at Tuba City. Pasture Canyon is and has his- been Hopi property. The found it necessary to have Hopi construct the fence in order to control Navajo attempts to take it over by various means including uncontrolled livestock grazing which is seriously threatening the Pasture Canyon Dam itself and the surrounding recreation area. It is not an act of provocation when Hopi people seek to protect their property from takeover by Navajo tresspassers. It is a little late for Chairman McDonald to talk about agreement that provide for mutual approval of project, by both tribes on disputed land before they .are constructed. It is the Navajos who have never honored these agreements and they continue to violate them every day. Now the Navajo courts have issued an injunction against the Hopi Tribe to stop the fencing project. The nava- jo have proved to the world that Court Orders dont mean a damm thing and can be ignored with impunity, and treated as so much trivia, even when issued by the United States District Court. We have appealed to and sought the assistance of every forum available to us in this Country to stop Navajo harassment and invasion, all without relief inspite of standing court orders. We will no longer the aggressor Navajo to take over Hopi property by invasion just because of their superior numbers and political power. As of this morning the Navajos at Tuba City, under the protection of the Navajo Police, have com- torn down the fence con- structed by the Hopis, while the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Agency timidly stood by.

It is now clear that mass vaccination breaks the epidemic cycle of rubella (German measles). In 1964-6the last epidemic year, more than 20,000 infants were bom with a wide range of birth defects including blindness, deafness, damage to the heart and other organs, behavioral abnormalities, and mental retardation; many more pregnancies ended in miscarriage.

The Navajo Tribe miist understand that as responsible tribal leaders, Hopi tribal officials have the duty to protect Hopi property and interests. We will continue to ake every effort to preserve and protect Pasture Canyon and the waters of Pasture Canyon for ture Hopi generations. Chairman McDonald states that both tribes must accept the fact that we must both learn to live lly with what we have, or we will lose all that is left of our land and resources.

General According to D. Gilbert Athay, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, It is the responsibility of the Attorney Generals Office to investigate allegations of police misconduct. Athay told a meeting of the NAACP that the Utah Constitution provides for the Attorney General to investigate these allegations. He added that a void has existed in the past because the Salt Lake County Attorney has refused to investigate the incidents because of their work-alloing relationship with police units; the current Attorney General has also failed to investigate. The void must be filled by the Attorney General and I promise to do so if elected, he said, Athay served as assistant Attor-pletel- y ney General in 1967 and 1968. He is the former director of Salt Lake Legal Defenders Association. Mr. Athay is currently in private prac-th- e tice in Salt Lake City as a trial lawyer. w 5, Unless and until public commitment to vaccination nine were immunized.

The Missing Epidemic Before 1969, when the rubella vaccine first became available, epidemics occurred every six to nine years. Another was due between 1970 and 1973. That it never materialized is strong evidence that the nationwide vaccination program begun in 1969 was effective.

In the words of a spokesman for the March of Dimes, the voluntary health organization dedicated to preventing birth defects, If we permit children to suffer birth defects which we now have the means to prevent, each victim is a living contradiction of the principle expressed in our Declaration of Independence that everyone has a right to a fair start in life. |
