Commissioner of Indian Affairs Glenn L. Emmons announced today that Allan M. Adams will move on November 20 from Pine Ridge Agency, South Dakota, where he has been real property officer, to be superintendent of the Winnebago Agency, Nebraska, replacing Victor E. Godfrey.
Godfrey, who has been in charge at Winnebago for nearly two years, will transfer on the same date to be real property officer in the Bureau's area office at Aberdeen, S. Dak.
The new Winnebago superintendent first carne with the Indian Bureau in 1931 as farm agent at the Cherokee Agency, North Carolina. After eight years in this assignment he served for five years as assistant extension agent at Muskogee, Okla., for three as extension agent at Concho, Okla., and for three years in the same position at Philadelphia, Miss. Since 1950 he has been in real property work at agencies in North and South Dakota. He was born in Rockville, Ind., in 1895 and has a B.A. degree in agronomy from the University of Illinois.
Victor Godfrey has been with the Bureau since 1926 and served in a variety of assignments throughout the Indian Service before his appointment as Winnebago superintendent in January 1953. He was born at Alpena, Mich., in 1899.
