REPORTS

Dr

said
last

he
found
the
Indians
lying
on
the
floors
of
the
10
pr
11
little
shacks
they
live
in
He
said
they
were
incredibly
dirty
sick
and
virtually
starv
starving
�
ing
Dr
Cunningham
said
that
he
found
no
evidence
of
starvation
and
my
impression
was
that
the
Indians
were
a
pretty
healthy
bunch
Thc
report
that
59Indians
were
infected
by
hepatitis
is
completely
absurd
He
said
the
Indians
told
him
they
had
not
been
short
of
food
at
any
time
this
winter
The
Indians
were
a
bit
hos
tile
and
upset
over
the
publi
city
they
received
They
felt
that
the
facts
have
been
mis
misrepresented

represented
They
resented
re
ports
that
their
homes
were
dirty
and
disease
ridden
Dr
March
said
in

Tuesday
that
Dr
Cun
Cunninghams

conclusions
are

based

on
what
he
saw
two
weeks
after
I
visited
