T I T T S1 rRun -te Law *bal Way Palefac Afotil , By TONY PATRUS Herald staff Writer FORT LAUDERDALE When a man marries in the Seminole Indian nation, he takes the family name of the woman he weds. His name becomes helms, and his children become her children. That has been the way of Osceola and the White man's attempt to change it by the arrest of Jimmie Henry, a trib- al medicine -man and T o m Buster, for refusing to surren- der custody of five motherless Seminole children to the father is wrong, deputies were told here Saturday. "The matriarchy is at stake," Billie Doctor, another tribal medicine-inan and chieftain of the Glades Indians told Brow- ard county law officers who jailed Henry and Buster here early Saturday morning. Doctor and three other leaders of a group of Tamiami Trail Indians came here to try to get the two captured In- dians out of jail, The two men were released after posting $250 bond each. They will be arraigned in court of crimes in two weeks. Center of the issue are five Seminole children w h o s e mother, Mrs. Joe Billie, died in January. The father, Joe Billie, Fort Lauderdale parking lot attend- ant, wanted to and did keep the children — contrary to the tribal law. Late in June, however, he was forced to leave them with his wife's relatives in the Ev- erglades after being persuaded to take them to an Indian medicine man. He was permitted to bring out a sixth child, a baby named Marie, by convincing the Indians that she needed care, Billie enlisted the White man's law and started the court fight by swearing out warrants for the arrest of Hen- ry and Buster for alleged- ly contributing to the depend- ency of the children. "They cannot go to school and church out in the Glades as they could if I were to keep them with nue in Dania," Bil- lie claims. Billie has a frame house on the Dania reservation, a steady job at the parking lot and makes extra money by appear- ing as an alligator wrestler at tourist roadside exhibition spots. Doctor and the three other Trail Indians came to the jail to argue with officers for the preservation of ancient tribal ways, Deputies Roy Longbottom and Ed Fletcher went into the swamplands surrounding Ev, erglades City during the early morning hours to search for and arrest Henry and Buster. He told the'group Saturday afternoon that there was noth- ing he could do but continue to hold the two men and wait for the courts to decide what was justice In the mattes', Doctor, speaking slowly, with carefully chosen words, said, "The matriarchy of the Indians is at stake, "The way- we live, how our children are taken care of all can be wrecked if our men can be arrested for doing what our ways say we must do." Doctor told the two captive - wen who are being held under $250 bond each to be patient and that efforts are being made to free thein without charge, "This is no charge," Doctor insisted to Longbottom. "No one is contributing to the de pendency of the children. "They are safe and well cared for with their grand, mother and living in the Glades. "There are many motherless children taken over by the rel- atives of other mothers who have died and left children to be cared for. These have been taken care of also and without interference. "Why should these children be any different?" Chief Ho res Back At Johns Ross Buys Land From Al'Arthur Firm to Build 3,500 Homes Sale of one-third of the Palm Beach county land holdings of wealthy insurance executive John D. MacArthur for $2,870; 000 was disclosed Saturday. Ross Construction Co. buyer of the property, immediately an, pounced that it will build a 3,500•home community on the land. J Before the sale MacArthur held 3,000 acres—including the boom - time town of Lake Park — all purchased for $6,000,000 just two months ago. The Ross purchase takes in 970' acres of that land. The wealthy Chicagoan, who Is president of Bankers' Life and Casualty Co., also owns the 01,600 -acre Carol City house Ing development northwest of Miami. His announced intention when he acquired both projects in ]lav w•as simply to put in utilities and streets and re -sell the land in smaller parcels to home builders. The Ross sale is the first to be made in either of the two proj• • ects, TALLAHASSEE —111'+— Road board chairman Wilbour Jone: said Saturday Sen, Charley Johns, Starke, was "playing politics" when he charged on the senate floor Friday road department pay- rolls had soared during tjne Col- lins administration, And he said Johns was "unfair" when he made comparisons of de- partment payrolls during the first six months of this year against the same period last year awhile Johns was acting governor. "It is regrettable that he would seek to involve the de- partment in a political speech without giving the full facts," he said, Johns said figures he got from the comptroller's office showed the department had spent $199.822 more in payrolls during January this year than in January last year. He said increases in other months through June of this year ranged from 5115.000 to $182,000. Johns said the Collins adminis- tration had created a "lot of use- less jobs" in the road department. Jones said he hadn't seen John's figures but that he had "played politics" by failing to analyze them. The Collins road chairman said there was little road build• Ing during the early part of last year and payrolls conse- quently were down. Toward the latter part of the year the Johns road board got a sub• stantial road building program under way and payrolls' in- creased correspondingly. Jones said when he took over as chairman, the road department had 4,780 employes About 150 of these were discharged, he said, because they were "unessential." Payrolls now have built back up to about 4,700. He said these included 81 temporary employes such as engineering students put on during the summer months. Jones said that since he had become chairman some s a l a r y raises had been given engineers and other technical employes to keep them from going to other jobs. "Sen. Johns himself had 'rec- ommended such raises while he was acting gorernor," Jones said. And Jones said that when he took over he found cases where employes of the road department were hired or given raises on direct recommendation of Johns. "There is not a single instance of anyone being hired or given a raise on the recommendation of our present governor," he said, WSBB "'W fwyrwa /,.air 1230 Ke SUNDAY JULY 10• MORNING 8:00 World News 9:45 Woria News 8:15 Sunday Sch'1 10:00 Am.
