millions, a research chemist at
Texas Technological College de
clares.
In Texas alone, C. G. Rook, asso
ciate director of the chemical and
textile phases of the Cotton Re
search Committee of Texas, says,
between $10,000,000 to $15,000,000
worth of burrs are destroyed which
could be processed into commer
cial products.
Research has shown that com
mercial material economically pro
curable from burrs are a boiler
water treating compound which
acts as a scale inhibitor In hard
water; furfural, an important che
mical compound; a bidding board
substance, plastic filler and ferti
lizer.
Of these, furfural is probably the
most Important. It is used in the
synthesis of plastics, in fixing mo
tor oils, in malting aniline dyes,
as a fungicide, and in the synthe
tic rubber industry in the recovery
of butadiene.
One Texas rubber plant alone
uses approximately $2,500 worth of
furfural dally.

INDIANS SEEKING
$93,000 FOR
COAST LANDS
SACRAMENTO, Cal. — HP)—Cali
fornia's original native sons, the
state’s Indian population, have or
ganized into a federation to battle
Congress for a $93,000,000 damage
settlement, They contend this sum
is due them because the United
States reneged on Indian treaties
dating back to the 1850s.
The organization, called the Fed
eration Indians of California, was
founded here to draft a bill which
will be introduced Into CongTess,
seeking appropriation of the money
to settle the claim.
SENATE REJECTED TREATIES
The Indians claim damages for
the loss of their rights in the 75,
000,000 acres of land occupied by
their ancestors in California up to
the 1850s, when they were removed
from these lands to reservations
promised them in 18 treaties made
at that time with the United States
government.
The treaties were subsequently
rejected by the Senate because of
alleged pressure brought to bear by
gold miners and others who were
already occupying the proposed re
servations. .
Even though the treaties were
rejected and the terms never car
ried out, the Indians say the govern
ment took possession of the lands
from California and sold and leas
ed them Just as though the treaties
had been ratified.
The Indians take the position
that had the treaties been ratified,
their forefathers would have had
property to leave to thei- descend
ants, and that the claim for dam
ages is no more than a belated le
gacy.
Tne U. S. Court or Claims rec
cgr.itsd the Indians' rights when it
| awarded California Indians the
I rum of $5,000,000 under a suit
. brought in their behalf by the
! note's attorney general. Flaws in
the wording of the Jurisdictional
Act. under which the suit was filed.
made $5,000,000 the maximum sum
that could be paid.
Attorney General Robert Kenny
then advised the Indians to seek
additional damages from Congress,
| that being the simplest and quick
I est way to settle the claim.-. Kenny
; told them they had rights of ocru
’ under the old Spanish anc
panev
i Mexican treaties to 75,000 acres of
California land, and that they had
a good claim based on those rights.

// Wooden Money" OK
In Lumber Town
OLYMPIA, Wash. — (IP) The
town of Tenine, Wash., puts no
faith in the adage—“Don't take
any wooden money.”
Town's inhabitants (1,120), who
make their livelihood mainly from
.wood, have learned from experience
trie real value of “wooden money.”
Tenino's experiences with the
unusual currency resulted from the
failure of the Citizen's Bank of
Tenino in 1931
Assets frozen, ana hard-up for
cash, the town's Chamber of Com
merce agreed to accept assignments
of up to 25 per cent of an indi
vidual’s bftnk account. In return.
