OF the seven state officials WnO have
been made defendants in the assault
upon the league program instituted in
federal court this week by North Da
kota taxpayers, four have formally re-
quested Attorney General Langer in
the letter which appears above, to
represent them as legal counsel. Two
of these state officials, Governor
Lynn J. Frazier and Commissioner
John ~ Hagan, have elected to ac
cept Townley's especially hired help,
one Frederic A. Pike Of St. Paul. and
William Lemke, Of ST. Paul and
Fargo.
The seventh state official affected
is Attorney General Langer, WHO will
represent himself in the action pend
ing.
The resolutions adopted by the
state Industrial commission, rejecting
the official legal services Of Attorney
General Langer. who under the ac.
creating the board is its legal advise"
as we'll as a member Of the commits
sion, are in line with the campaign
which President Townley has been di-
Tecting at the attorney general from
the first moment when Mr. LANCER be.
gan to display inquisitiveness as to
the financial operations OF the Town
ley chain stores.
The effort to discredit the attorney
general apparently has had no great
effect upon his Nonpartisan col
leagues at the capitol, who openly eX-
press preference for his legal advice
rather than that Of Messrs. Lelnke,
Pike, ct al.

Dear Sir:
The undersigned state officials,
who were made defendants in the
action brought in the United
States district court to restrain
them and other officials from put
ting into effect certain measures
passed by the Sixteenth eglsla-
tive assembly, take this method
Of informing you that they are op.
posed to the employment Of
special counsel by the industrial
commission to defend them.
We view the action Of the in
dustriaI commission in employing
other counsel than the attorney
general to defend this action on
behalf Of the state, as uncalled
for and ;nadvised.
We have every confidence in.
noton'y your integrity and will.
ingness to properly defend this
action, but in your ability to carry
it to a successful conclusion. The
action Of the industrial commits
son in ignoring the chief law of-
ficer Of the state, whom the peo.
pie have twice elected by a very
large majority, is wanting in
courtesy and fairness, not only to
yourself, but to the people Of the
state.
We, therefore, beg that you will
undertake yourself, with the aid
of your assistants, to defend this
action on behalf Of the state, and
you may, if you deem it neces-
cary, consider this as the author
ity Of a majority OF the defendants
in this action, to conduct the case
on their behalf. h.

AIRMAN'S COINED WORDS
APPEAR IN DICTIONARY

A flying" dictionary of approx
mately 200 words and phrases which
have been coined by the aviators of
America is being prepared by the
Manufacturers Aircraft Association.
The purpose of the association is
to make it easier for the public to
understand stories of aviation. The
dictionary will remove much of the
difficulty that has been experienced
in giving the reader a clear descrip-
ton of flying machines and their ac-
complishments.
For instance, the association says
if you hear a young birdman remark
that he has plenty of dope you
should not be alarmed by the thought
that he is a drug addict. Dope" to
the aviator is a substance similar to
glue, which is applied to the wings
of an aircraft to strengthen it.
The association points out that
the average American is credited with
a vocabulary of $50 out of a possible
100000 words in the English Ian
guage, the coming of 200 new phrases
by students of aviation is regarded
as an unusual addition to this small
average.
