![["Governor Henry Bellmon defended the administration of the federal anti-poverty program in Oklahoma, stating that it is not being administered on a partisan basis. He approved grants for youth corps programs in Guthrie, Midwest City-Del City, and Lawton-Fort Sill, but criticized the latter for only offering menial tasks to Indian youngsters. Bellmon recommended assigning them to jobs with higher responsibility and intellectual stimulus."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_14_0047_thumbnail.jpg "Governor Henry Bellmon Criticizes Anti-Poverty Program, Calls for More Responsible Jobs for Indian School Students")
