one of the committee members, Assist

Thomas, so as to make them invulner-
able TO any possible legal contest.
"The proposal to give the companies
the henefit Of the doubt on all doubtful
billboards," Maj. Dawson said, "pales
into insignificance when compared with
the accomplishment Of the definite goal
in sight. This agreement, which would
be binding on the companies and en-
forceable, makes possible a working
basis for the establishment of an un-
disputable authorized list Of billboards,
to which there shall be no additions and
no board replaced after 1t is abandoned
for any reason whatsoever.
This list, when approved by the Com
missioners, would definitely mark the
limit of outdoor advertising IN the

Water and paint are being
used by police of Berlin, Ger
many, in their battles with
criminals. An armored car
with a revolving turret at the
top of it's cab has a nozzle
which discharges water at
about 180 pounds pressure.
Other nozzles at the sides of
the machines also shoot the
liquid at the same pressure.
This force is sufficient to
knock over people and is
very effective in quelling

Wild HORSES WILL
BE EXTERNINATFD

Flagstaff, Ariz., April II,
(UP)-Roving herds of wild
horses one of the last traces
of the old west existing in
Arizona today, are making
their last stand on forest re-
serve ranges in this section.
A government order, upheld
by federal court rulings, de-
mands the extinction of the
picturesque herds in the Co.
cOnlno national forests.
Within two years period
the remaining 400 head of
wild horses will be killed by
forest rangers and cowboys,
Assistant Supervisor Robert
Munro said. More than
l 1000 horses have been ex-
terminated during the past
three years in an effort to
preservd the grazing lands
for sheep, cattle and game
animals.
A party of government
rangers and cowboys, headed
by Munro, killed herd of
80 head recently.
The horsess are almost
as difficult to kill as deer"
Munro explained. Cattle
men are aiding the forest
service in the drive to exter-
inmate the animals since
they are worthless and con-
sumo forage that is useful
livestock feed.
The only possible return
is to sell the wild horses for
chicken feed or fertilizer
However, most of the animals

are too untamed to be dri-
ven to shipping pens and
loaded into cars. Those sent
to market bring from So to
So per head"
The decision, permitting
government rangers in the
Sitgreaves national forest to
continue killing branded or
unbranded wild horses with
in restricted areas, without
interference from Navajo
county authorities, was hand
ed down by Federal Judge
Fred C. Jacobs at Phoenix.
The controversy started in
November 1929 when the
department of agriculture di-
rected the rangers to kill all
wild hoses grazing in certain
areas in the Sitgreaves for
est. Navajo county officials,
exhibiting a state law for
bidding the Staying of brand
ed horses, contended the Or

county interference will be
upheld in all national forest

An agreement has been
reached by Governor George
H. Dern of Utah to carry the
battle to retain the domain
by Arizona and to protect
state rights to the western
governors conference this
year.
Utah'S contention the land
should be thrown open again
are based on the grounds
that cattlemen of the state
annually send thousands OF
head of cattle and sheep tC
the region to Craze and clos
ing it seriously handicaps the
livestock industry.
Arizona fights the presi-
dental decree in that it ale
gedly was issued for the pur-
pose to prevent further pow
er development along the
Colorado river. The site of
Hoover dam is near that re-
giOn.
The two executives have
agreed to appoint a commits
sioner from each state to sur
vey the land and determine
its actual worth to the two
states.
Governor Hunt has
charged the interior depart
ment was attempting to
seize all the power sites in
that region of the country
through withdrawal Of this
land.
In discussing the state
rights angle of the fight,
Governor Dern wrote the
Arizona executive:
81 am in sympathy with
your views about federal en-
crOachment upon state
rights, and | think the west
ern states should avail them
selves to every opportunity
to express themselves on this
important matter"

gested a conference of gov
nors of western stateS-Ore-
gon, Washington, California,

called to discuss the situation.
Governor Hunt readily
agreed to the proposition and
advised Governor Dern he
would attend or send a repre-
sentative. The conference
probably will be held in Port
land or Seattle.
Meanwhile, Governor has
informed leaders of the ma
tiOnal governors conference

one time separated the seasons. When
snow is on the ground and the mer-
curry is below zero, 1t is possible to swim
in indoor pools or TO play tennis on
indoor courts. On the other hand, warm
weather does not prevent indoor ice
skating Kinks from opening, since the
ice is made artificially. The result is
that in the early Fall one can spend

nings on the ice. Conditions are good
