"We haven't had any calls (from family) on them in here, he added Dr. Heinz Karnitschnig, county medical examiner, said, "All three of the youths were dead prior to being run over by the tram.

They died of multiple stab wounds Its too early to tell how long they might have been dead. But I would say not very long The northbound freight tram mangled and dragged the bodies about 300 feet, said Sheriffs Detective Sgt. Don Spezzano. The boys appeared to be asleep on the tracks but did not move when the engineer sounded his horn, Spezzano added The engineer said he was unable to keep the train from hitting the bodies. jumped from $148 5 million when he was elected 1970 to nearly $181 4 million last year.

During his administration, MacDonald said the tribe has received an annual average of $39 million in federal grants, $2 5 million in revenue sharing and $25 million in tribal generated income. Most of the tribal revenue comes from mineral resources. He blamed some of the tribes fiscal problems on the Navajo legislature. It sets the annual budget. I dont have any veto power over the Council, he said.

All I can do is yell. ask them to hold the line. He said, We cant live on $25 million per year. We need to bring in more federal monies to meet our needs because of our population increase. The tribes population in 1971 was estimated at 109,220.

It has increased 34 per cent as of Jan. 1, 1976, according to the Office of Economic Opportunity, an anti-poverty program agency heavily funded by public monies. Asked about Williams fee, MacDonald said so far he hasnt talked about a fee. It may be that he doesnt require any fee at all. He said he hasnt received any reports from Williams on the monitoring of federal investigators.

Hes communicating directly with George Vlassis, he said. Vlassis, who lives in Phoenix, is the tribal general counsel. He receives a guaranteed annual salary of $240,000 plus expenses and other fees. Northern Arizona Normal School In 1912. Kinsey school was named for her when built In 1 955.

PTC 7,77 Ha Flushing Machaniim BY HOWARD GRAVES Associated Press Writer WINDOW ROCK (AP) One of Americas most powerful Indians said Tuesday no one is going to destroy the Navajo Nation legally or illegally.

Tribal chairman Peter MacDonald said his 'warning applies to critic Sen. Barry Goldwater, and federal investigators. I want the highest respect accorded the Navajo people and its government, he said. The elected leader of the countrys largest Indian group said, People like to be funny and run over the Navajo Nation legally or illegally. The tribal administration is under investigation for what the Attorneys office in Phoenix terms "financial irregularities MacDonald said such an investigation has been going on for several years He said he hasnt been contacted by investigators.

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department dont concern me at all, he said. There may be various efforts on the part of some to see that the Navajo Nation is embarrassed by using illegal means to get at the Na-vajos he said in an interview. MacDonald said he had hired Edward Bennett Williams, Washington, C. attorney, "to monitor what these people are doing You read every day about the CIA and the FBI being used for domestic witch-hunting for political purposes. He said he had asked Williams to check out the federal government's investigation.

MacDonald again said that the probe was Goldwaters doing He said he wasnt disturbed by the Tribal Councils approval Tuesday of a request to have the General Accounting Office audit tribal operations. What bothers me is that it was requested by Goldwater, he said MacDonald said if the federal audit turns up omething bad he (Goldwater) can use it to intimidate the Navajo Nation A federal grand jury meeting in Phoenix earlier this spring returned indictments against three Navajo officials. One of them was a MacDonald staff assistant. A new grand jury was empaneled in April. It hasnt returned any indictments involving the Navajos.

MacDonald has been sharply criticized by some legislators and some of the estimated 150,000 reservation Navajos concerning the tribes fiscal assets. He said during three of the six years he has been tribal chairman, there has been a surplus in the tribal general fund MacDonald said the millions of dollars in deficits accrued by tribal executives came under other administrations. The Navajos had $73 6 million federal cash reserves, or trust funds, 1964 Some federal officials estimate that the fund will get to $30 million by June 30. We re not going to decrease the tribal trust fund like my predeccesors have done, he said. MacDonald, holding up large charts, said tribal assets 5 1 Local Reading ProgramsPraised ir C7 4.

rJk Title I Reading programs in the Flagstaff Public Schools have been selected for recognition by the U.S. Office of Education The Flagstaff project was one of 33 recognized nationally. Asst. Supt Don C. Clark received a certificate of honor presented by Robert R.

Wheeler, deputy U.S. commissioner of education, at a recent conference in San Francisco. "All 33 programs have raised the learning level of the participating disadvantaged children far above the rate they would achieve in a regular school program, Wheeler told the conference participants. Students who learn at the rate of .7 of a month for each month of instruction in the traditional school program are achieving at least one month of gain for every month of instruction and, some cases, he said, their learning rate has increased as much as 600 per cent. Each project passed a rigorous review by a federal panel before it was selected as exemplary and worthy of replication by schools throughout the country.

All of the 33 projects are designed to improve reading ability The projects, developed with federal funds, are now available for adoption by any school district with similar educational problems. They provide workable and cost-effective solutions to some of the nations most widespread and perplexing education problems, Wheeler said. A reading project in Tucson was also recognized.
