Indians get
AUGUSTA, Maine (UPI) A
proposed settlement of Indian claims to
the northern two thirds of Maine has
been accepted by the White House, the
tribes and the private landowners, it was
announced last night. It would not cost
Maine any money or land.
Sen. William D. Hathaway, D-Maine,
who announced the agreement, said
Maine officials had not yet formally
agreed to the plan.
But Hathaway, fighting for his
political life in next month’s election,
said “I feel optimistic it can fly and it
can be enacted by Congress.”
Gov. James B. Longley had refused to
approve any agreement that would be
paid for by Maine taxpayers and has
insisted it include a provision requiring
the tribes to live under Maine law.
Presidential Counsel Robert Lipshutz
confirmed by telephone from
Washington President Carter had en
dorsed it. The proposal would settle the
claims of the Passamaquddy and
Penobscot tribes to 12.5 million acres,
roughly the northern two-thirds of
Maine. '
Hathaway said the settlement called
for an initial federal payment to the
tribes of $27 million and a subsequent $lO
million payment to the Indians.
Responsibility for the $lO million
payment would be split evenly between
the state and the federal government
and used to buy 100,000 acres from the
state’s largest landowners for the In
dians at fair market value.

tentative settlement
But Hathaway emphasized a key part
of the agreement called for the state’s $5
million portion to be credited to Maine’s
previous .support of the tribes. The
federal government would then assume
the state’s obligation.
“The previous payments on behalf of
the state indicate quite clearly that their
share of $5 million has been paid and
they’ll credit that. That’s what a
preliminary audit indicates,” Hathaway
said.
State officials have held out for a
complete federal settlement of the case,
without any lands being given the tribes
or any payments from the state.

repeatedly asked the federal govern
Troop support called inadequate
WASHINGTON (UPI) The Army
chief of staff, Gen. Bernard Rogers, said
yesterday behind-the-lines support units
for combat troops have been reduced so
sharply they are “not adequate for
meeting our wartime requirements.”
In a speech at the annual meeting of
the Association of the U.S. Army, Rogers
said steps must be taken to restore them
to former levels.
Rogers referred to transfer of many
support units which fill medical,
supply and repair functions from
active to reserve status to keep up
combat strength when the size of the

on the proposal. , ,
Hathaway also said another of' 1

would be extinguished” by the proposal,
Hathaway said.
Even though Maine would not actually
make a direct payment to the tribes,
Hathaway said it was important for the
White House to show the state was
making a contribution to the settlement
through its previous payments- 4'
troops after the Vietnam War.
"We have drawn down our forward
support capability dramatically,” he 11
said, “and though it is adequate for
peacetime needs, it is not adequate for
meeting our wartime requirements.”
Rogers said while the Soviet Union can
move to wartime production of critical
items quickly, “America’s arsenal of
democracy cannot now respond with the* f
speed and scope that would be needed.”
“We must take action to overcome the
force imbalance which exists and return
the support and sustaining capability of
our force to the level of national strength
which it has occupied previously.”
