Indians At the hearing of a petition con- cerning the occupation by the In- dians of land in Altona and Schuyler Falls on Wednesday in Plattsburgh, I was shocked and dismayed by the lack of sensitivity displayed by some. They demonstrated an ig- norance of North American history and an appalling prejudice of the original residents of this continent. It was embarrassing to listen to them, and I was glad that the representatives of the Indian com- munity had left the room before this discussion took place. One might conclude from this discussion that these people were infringing on the rights of citizens of the United States and that these people had no rights at all. Let us hope that our representatives have documented evidence of how these Indians have violated long-standing treaties sign- ed by the United States government with these Indian nations before they are chased off this land. In truth, it is we who have made them a dispossessed people. If they had violated treaties the way our government has, we would be ap- pealing to the United Nations for regress. We who claim to be cham- pions of human rights had better do our homework, beginning with our representatives or vote them out of office. Budget I agree with the article that it's time we need a new governor. It seems that Governor Carey is out frolicking with his new bride while our budget is how many days late now? WASHINGTON (UPI) — FBI director William Webster said Sun- day there is \no real evidence\ the Soviet Union is financing, training or encouraging terrorists in the United States. \I can not speak about activities abroad,\ Webster said on NBC's \Meet the Press, \but I can say that there is no real evidence of Soviet sponsored terrorism within the United States.\ While noting that some terrorists dications of training/' he said. groups in the United States, such as the Croatian independence ac- tivists, originate in Soviet- dominated countries, he said \none that I can say points to Soviet domination or control or encourage- ment.\ \If you go back several years you find indications of Soviet participa- tion in terrorist activities in terms of supplying weapons ... some in- Pentagon office to battle waste WASHINGTON (UPI) — Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, following White House guidelines, has announced the creation of a high-level office to detect waste and Deputy Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci signed a charter establishing the new office and outlined its functions in a memo sent Monday to high-level military But within the United States we seem at this point to be free of any type of direct, deliberate Soviet domination or control or instigation ofterrorist activities.\ Questioned about seemingly dif- ferent assessments of the terrorist threat by the FBI, which has reduc- ed its budget in that area, and Capitol Hill, Webster noted that last year the agency counted only 29 ter- rorist incidents in this country. He said there were 100 bombings reported in 1977, the year he came to the FBI. The number dropped to 52 in 1978, 42 in 1979 and 20 in 1980, he said. But Webster stressed that. \Whenever thefe is a terrorist inci- dent, there will always be funds to apply. We'll never be on an over- time basis or a run-out-of money basis/ 1 The director also acknowleged for the first time Sunday that the bureau is lending technical assistence to the SaWadoran government's investigation of the murders of four U.S. women mis- sionaries in £1 Salvador last December. He declined to say whether the evidence indicates that Salvadoran government forces were involved in the killings, as is widely believed, but conceded it is \a possibility.\ fraud in the Pentagon's $200 billion and civilian Pentagon personnel. Congress back to work today WASHINGTON (UPI) - Con- gress, which left for a two-week Easter break with the fate of the Reagan economic program up in the air, returns today to finish round one of the fight over the federal budget and tax cuts. In the Republican-controlled Senate, where President Reagan's budget was rejected in committee, it should hardly be a skirmish. The administration used the holiday hiatus to work on disgruntled Republicans whose opposition to projected large deficits killed the plan. Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee will meet privately Mon- day to try to work out a solution, and Sen. William Armstrong, R-Colo., leader of the trio of GOP conser- vatives who opposed the plan, said an agreement is near. Armstrong wants additional spen- ding reductions to achieve the balanced budget that Reagan has promised in 1984. He. said he thinks the problem can be Vesolved Mon- day or Tuesday. But House action on the budget will feature a major political battle between Democratic leaders and a coalition of TtepuBTicans and conser- vative Democrats who are pushing hard for the president's proposal. Reagan, back at work after an assassination attempt last month, spent the recess leading an inten- sive campaign to woo undecided Democrats and a few Republicans from, the-Northeast and Midwest who feel their areas would be devastated by the proposed budget cuts. To cap his lobbying efforts, the president scheduled an address Tuesday night to a joint session of Congress. The House will be asked to choose between the Reagan budget — or a slightly modified version with deeper cuts — and a Democratic alternative approved by the House Budget Committee. The alternative restores about $8 billion to programs like education, health, community development and transportation. It projects a deficit almost half the size of Reagan's, which Democrats have ttsed as a setting\ point tor conser- vatives concerned about balancing the budget. The budget is expected to reach the House floor this week, but action could be put off until next week if Democratic leaders know they don't have the votes to win. empire. The timing of the announcement, made Thursday, coincided with the administration's intensive cam- paign to secure congressional ap- proval of a federal budget that cuts deeply into social programs but has earmarked $222 billion for defense. Weinberger's waste policeman, yet to be appointed, officially will be an assistant to the secretary of defense for review and oversight. He will have an office in the Pen- tagon staffed by more than 100 per- sons, all of whom will be transferred from other divisions. The Pentagon chief often has spoken publicly about the need to combat waste in defense spending and the creation of the new 9ffice is the first concrete step he has taken in that direction. The military spends more money than any other government agency. A Pentagon spokesman said the creation of the new office was the result of administration policy directed by the White House to eliminate waste in government pro- grams. The new assistant, the memo said, will \serve as the principal staff adviser for matters related to the combatting of fraud, waste and abuse in Department of Defense programs and operations.\ The official will supervise the Defense Audit Service — the Pen- tagon's auditor, or fiscal watchdog — and he will be responsible for criminal investigation, the Carlucci memo said.
