Indians divided on
protests at bureau
WASHINGTON (AP) - Militant
Indians who occupied the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs (BIA) left
damages estimated at $1.98 mil-
lion gnd stirred bickering among
other Indians on how to deal
with the protesters.
The Interior Department said
Friday that when the Indians
ended their seven-day seizure of
the building theytook or damaged
som 600 to 700 painting alued
valued at about $150,000.
In addition, the government
estimated, it will cost $700,000 to
restore 7,000 cubic feet of des-
stroyed or stolen records, $250,- '
000 to repair damage to the
building, and $280,000 to replace
furniture and office machinery.
While two Indian groups did
not condone the damage to the
BIA, they differed on what should
be done in the wake of the pro-
test-.
The National Congress of
American Indians (NCAI), cre-
ated in 1944 and the oldest and
largest national Indian group,
called for a wholesale re-evalu-
atio tsofthesBIA in line with the
The National Tribal Chairmen's
Association, which was created
in 1971 with the encouragement
of BIA Commissioner Louis
Bruce, said that demonstrators
should be prosecuted. BIA and
Interior officials responsible for
failing to protect the building
should be fired, said the NCAI.
The association called for full
prosecution of the "dissident, ur-
ban - oriented Indians who took

from the Labor and Transporta-
tion Departments and the Office
of Economic Opportunity-to the
Indians as they left the build-
ing Wednesday to assure their
having a means of returning
home, said Charles Trimble of
the NCAI.
NCAI was critical of govern-
ment officials who, Trimble
said, refused to cooperate with
the Indian caravan and planned
repressive retaliations against
the building occupiers even while
White House negotiators work-
ed to meet protesters' demands.
Several questions about the in-
cident remain to be answered in
the months ahead:
--Who led the ransacking of
BIA files, pillaging of valuable
art and rampant damaging of
property? To what extent will
they be held accountable?
-Will the demonstrating In-
dians be received back on the
reservations and in their urban
settings as martyred heroes, as
some of the Indians claim? Or
will they be outcasts who' don't
represent anybody anamaged
House envisions?
-Why did the White HIous
promise the Indians amnesty
from prosecution for occupying
the building but not from punish-
ment for damaging it or for
theft? With what authority did
it make available $66,650 in cash
to speed the Indians' back home?

was the 11th strike called by the
UAW against various GM plants
in less than one month against I
what it contends are unfair work |
speedups. I
A scheduled strike by 2,000 work-
ers at the GM central foundry at
Danville, Ill., was postponed in.-
definitely following a 30-hour bar-,
gaining session which resulted in i
"good progress" toward settling
work standards disputes.
GM has been making up pro-
duction losses by scheduling Sat-.
urday overtime - this week at
eight assembly plants, including
two which were shut down for two
days in the previous weekend's
walkouts.
At American Motors, the union
threatened a strike against the
entire company in- support of a,
nine-week-old strike by 26 mod-
elers and designers at AMC's head-
quarters in Detroit.
A companywide strike could call
22,000 workers off the job at a
time when the company is at-
tempting to increase production to
meet the consumer demand for its
cars.
The 26 workers are members of
UJAW Local 412 which last year
won the right to represent the
sing, Mich.; Milwaukee and Ke-
no, s; ISouth Bend pand In-
Stratford, Ont.; and Toledo, Ohio.
At GM, which has been plagued
by the UAW's mini-strikes in each.
of the past four weekends, UAW
strategists have selected five
plants as targets for next week-
end - affecting 24,200 workers.
The short strikes, which shut
down plants and interrupt produc-
tion for two or three days, cost
the union nothing because strike
benefits are not paid until a walk-
out begins its second week.
Plants slated for walkouts next
Friday if progress is not made are
GMAD plants at Arlington, Texas;
Janesville, Wis.; and Lakewood,
Ga. - all three involved in ear-
lier walkouts in October - and at
the Delco-Moraine plant at Day-
ton, Ohio, and Fisher Body Plant
No. 1 at Flint, Mich.
The British section of the World
Jewish Congress was opening its
