The responsibility for fair American
Indian treatment Iks in the United States
government, and the right people aren't
being elected to fuifiS that responsibility,
a native American author and lawyer said
Wednesday.
Vine Ddoria Jr., author of Custer Died
for Your Sins, spoke Wednesday night in
Nebraska Union Ballroom as part of the
Power and Conspiracy in America sympos
ium. Deloria told a group of about 100 per
sons that "the American system has gone
power
and conspiracy
in america
to hell, because people are not fulfilling
their citizenship requirements."
Each citizen should review political
candidates and participate in the electoral
process, he said.
"Most American's don't care who gov
erns them," he said, citing the long-terms
of Nebraska senators Roman Hruska and
Carl Curtis as examples.
"Nebraskan's might as well send Nean
derthal men to the VS. Senate," he said.

Ford involved?
Washington Former White House coun
sel John W. Dean III said Wednesday that
President Ford had a role although
probably an unwitting one-in the early
stages of the Watergate cover up. Dean said
the bsddent occurred dusts the Sept
ember and October 1972 when the White
Bouse was seeking to block a pre-election
investigation of Watergate by the late
Rep. Wright Pitman's House Banking
and Currency Committee. Meanwhile, Rep.
John Conyers, D-Mich., informed re
porters he had met with special Water
gate prosecuter Charles Ruff over the issue,
and that Ruff told him he would decide
by the end of the week whether to review
the tapes of conversations between Ford
and then-President Richard hi. Nixon
during the period in question.

results in the election of a Congress that
"totally refuses to deal with American
Indian problems."
Those problems include the poor condi
tions on American Indian reservations, and
white American attitudes about American
Indians, he said. Those attitudes haven't
changed since the lS90's, he added.
Deloria also criticized what he called
the "buddy system" in government.
He said he spoke to VS. senator? about
legislation to curtail violence in Fine Ridge,
but since South Dakota senators were not
willing to do anything, the other 93
senators did not introduce legislation so
they wouldn't offend their collegues.
However, he said, it is not just American
Indians who are victimized by the current
government system. He said the govern
ment has an -impact in every American
faction.
Deloria recommended that there be a
substantial turnover in the Senate and
House of Representatives every two years,
so elected officials will be more responsive
to citizens.
He also urged people to vote, teEing
them that if they aren't in favor of Jimmy
'Carter or Gerald Ford, to vote for Eugene
McCarthy.
"Those votes may scare the hell out of
the major parties," he said, "but it's time
they had the hell scared out of them."
Harvard researchers say they found that

women who took the pin, the babies
were divided almost evenly between boys
and gtris Their findings contradict a wide
ly publicized report two years ago by a
team of Hungarian doctors. The Hungar
ians said that of 560 infants bom to wo
men who had taken the piU, 46 per cent
were male. And of the 170 babies born to
women who had been on the piU more
than two years, only 34 per cent were
boys. "

admitted Omaha gambling conspirator to
have his sentence reduced in exchange
for talking to the Nebraska State Bar
Association about lawyers who may have

Reid Howard, who is serving a one-year

against 18 people last year and give deposi
tions to the bar on Ins knowledge about '
the gambling involvements if his sen
tence is reduced. The bar's disciplinary
