HARRIS TO FILE
HEARST SUIT
REPLY TODAY
Special Lobby Counsel
to Defend Wire
"SnooPine"

Senate resistance Of efforts to
halt or hamper its investigatorial
activities by Injunction is ex-
pected to be carried into the
Supreme Court Of the District Of
Columbia today.
Champion Harris, special coun-
sci, will file the lobby investigat-
ing committees answer to the
suit instituted by William Ran.
dolph Hearst, publisher, to stop
the committee from seizing any
more Of his kilograms or from
making use Of any already in It's
possession.
The filing Of the brief will
mark the Senate committees first
direct clash with any Of the
parties who have been trying to
stop wholesale seizures of tele-
grams for use in the lobby in
vestigation.
Ruling Reversed
BY aiding the Black senatorial
committee in confiscating private
kilograms, the Federal Commu.
nications Commission reversed
the fiat ruling Of its general
counsel that such procedure is
illegal.
The opinion was rendered q
year ago by Paul D. P. Spear
man, then general counsel Of the
FEC, when the Securities and
Exchange Commission sought to
seize private telephone records
and the Department of Justice
sought to seize both telephone
and telegraph messages.
Violates Guarantees
Spearman'S ruling was adopted
by the commissioners, who there
upon refused to make available
the private correspondence sought
Spearman held that to do SC
would violate guarantees against
unreasonable search and seizure
The ruling was reversed last fall
when the commission joined with
the Black committee in 8 raid or
private kilograms in its alleged
reign Of terror"
Yesterday the FEC refused Il
make the Spearman opinion pub
lie. The FEC and the Black com
mittee are joint defendants in ar

BeaVerhead County HoI-
iday Association Organ
lied -"Tirne Has Come TO
Act" Say the Farmers

Indignant farmers from all
corners Of Beaverhead County
gathered at the Country Inn,
near Dillon last Tuesday even
ing, July %, to protest the
ruthless foreclosures of the Fed
eral Land Bank of Spokane,
Washington, and local banking
institutions at Dillon.
Many farmers have been un-
able to pay interest owing to
low prices and short crops in
past years. This year Beaver
head County flOurishes a waOn-
derfuI hay crop. With a fair
price in prospect for hay and
cattle the loan companies are
swOOping down to take their toll
the homes from these ranchers
who have spent their lives here
tOiling to build them.
1t seems that lawyers and
judges here. who are mere tools
for the Federal Land Bank, re-
fuse to recognize the Frazier
Lemke Moratorium although it
has saved the homes OF many
farmers in IOtAer parts Of thel
state.
A. ]. Rife of Dillon, Chairman
of the meeting called on differ
emit ranchers and farmers for dis
cussiOn as to what steps should
be taken TO stop these fore
closures. It was the rOusing
sentiment of all to AOrganlze the
Holiday and act en- masse.

HOME MADE
IRRIGATION PUMPS
ON EXHIBITION

A homemade irrigation pump
Will be on exhibition in Sheridan
County, Tuesday, August 4th.
Ih1s type of pump has demon
strated it's usefulness and practi-
caIabll1ty in pumping water from
stream and water holes to higher
crop or hay land adjacent to water
source.
Nearly every farmer adjacent to
the Big Muddy has small tracts of
land that can be irrigated by use
OF pump, even though the tract
Is only an acre in size which will in
nearly all instances be large
enough for vegetable garden IN
Guiding corn and potatoes for home
use.
A good demonstration of what
water will do on small tract of
land devoted to the growing Of
vegetables is on the Mccoy ranch
live miles Northwest of Plenty
wood. This tract of land not only
provides ample vegetables for
home use but is profitable source
OF income from the sale of sur
plus vegetables to those who do
not produce enough for home use.
Thousands of dollars worth of
vegetables will be shipped to
Sheridan County communities from
outside points this fall. Much of
this produce could be grown right
at home by those who are fort4n-
ate enough to live adjacent to
streams, where water NAV be
pumped onto an acre or two Of
garden.
Often times. one or two acres of
truck garden under irrigation may
return greater net profits than one
acres in dryland wheat.
: The home made pump to be ex-
hlbited by County Agent M. J.
Peterson is one that any farmer
can build out of material ussuallv
found on the average farm.
