![["Jack Cochrane, who presents himself as a watchdog of the Treasury against Indian claims, has been criticized for taking credit for the work done by the Court of Claims and the Supreme Court in limiting the amount of money awarded to Indian claimants. Despite his claims of protecting the Treasury, he secured a large appropriation for a memorial in his district, far exceeding what the national capital invested in a memorial to Abraham Lincoln. His importance as a watchdog of the Treasury is seen as political and exaggerated."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201935-1939/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_47_0003_thumbnail.jpg "The Fictitious Watchdog: A Memo on Jack Cochrane's Treasury Claims")

The Act outlines the process for certifying disputes, establishing waiting periods, and providing for the appointment, compensation, and dissolution of such boards. It also includes provisions to prevent coercion or interference with the work of the boards.

![["The Wilson-Bennett Lumber Company is thanking Senator Elmer Thomas for his efforts to stop the sale of Indian lands as a unit, as it would be unfair to both the Indians and local lumber manufacturers. They believe the land would fetch a higher price if sold in separate tracts and urge the Senator to use every effort possible to cancel the sale.
