![["Mrs. Ruby Frang wrote a letter to Senator Fred R. Harris asking for assistance in obtaining a scholarship for her son. Senator Harris contacted the Bureau of Indian Affairs on her behalf, but it was determined that her son did not qualify for their assistance as he was less than one-fourth degree Indian. However, other sources of financial aid for American Indian students were provided to Mrs. Frang, and it was suggested that her family's financial situation may qualify them for assistance based on need. Senator Harris expressed his willingness to help further if needed."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_266_23_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Scholarships,%201972/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_266_23_005_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Mrs. Ruby Frang's Request for Scholarship Assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs")

![["Choctaw Chief Harry J. W. Belvin is facing criticism from some Choctaw Indians who accuse him of not allowing them a voice in tribal affairs and not being transparent about tribal finances. Belvin denies any wrongdoing and claims that some requests for information are beyond his power. The protesting group has initiated a petition drive calling for Belvin's removal, citing issues such as lack of voting rights, control of tribal money and lands, and questionable election practices. Belvin defends his actions, stating that the tribe's business is under governmental control and that he is not required to provide detailed reports to tribal members.
