Nevertheless, when the Band has to scrape the bottom of its financial barrel, as it is doing now, nobody seems to give a damn. The H.A.A. just shakes its head over a ream of red-inked ledgers and the alumni point apologetically to the new income tax laws; there is no money coming from either source.

Willis fired off a letter to Chapman, sarcastically pointing out that homestead scrip was never intended to help start a farm "at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico." Willis demanded to know why Chapman, who usually acts on mineral lease applications in a matter of days, has let months pass without denying Cord's claims. By last week Chapman had still taken no action, but Interior officials said privately that Cord's claims will be tossed out. Another possible...
