tice of law. although importuned by
high officers of the American army to
accept a commission in the regulars.
Colonel Stivers served as a captain Of

CARNATIONS would no obliterate the
identity of the various local sports
mems clubs, which will go to make up
each district setup.
Each club will preserve its identity
but will become a part of our district
unit" the state warden said. .
The next district to be organized
he said, will be western Montana, which
viii include all counties west of the
divide not in the southwestern unit
In the latter are Silver Bow, Deer
Lodge, Powell, Granite, jefferson, Mad
tson and Beaverhead counties, McDon-
aid stated.
When the state organization is eff
fected, each district will have repre-
sentativeS on its board. The state will
work with the National Wild Life fed
Grafton to carry out a conservation
program and a board plan for develop
ments of wild life resources.
Mcdonald attended the Washington
conference recently at which the wild
life organization was drawn up. The
regional director for Montana, Wyo-
ming and Idaho is G. w Grebe OF
Kuna, Idaho.
Grebe has been cooperating with
the Montana game department in get
ting this state organized.
All sportsmen and clubs in Montana
who are interested are requested by
Mcdonald to communicate with him.
Our plans will be held up for a
time, but after we get the next dis
trict set up in western Montana, we
win go ahead quickly with organizing
district units in the rest of the state"

we're invalid under AAA, the Su-
preme Court left open today whether
the 81 000 100000 of such taxes already
paid to farmers could be retrieved by

In another unanimous action, the
high tribunal also dismissed the first
test case on the Bankhead cotton con-
troll act.
No decision was handed down i'm
the only other New Deal case before
it-involving the Tennessee Valley
Authority
The tax ruling, given in the LOUISE

whether the professors must prove
they had not passed the levies on to
the consumer before recovery could
be made. Litigation already under
way in the lower courts must decide
that
Government attorneys later en-
phasized this requirement of the

Considering that no case had BEGIN
made against the Bankhead law, the
justices said their review in this IN
stance had been "improvident1y
granted" on the six to three vote last
fall.
Another case involving this law
filed by Governor Eugene LTalmadge,
of Georgia, a Roosevelt adminiStra-
ton foe, will give the court another
opportunity to rule on 1t.
In the rice millers opinion, read by
Justice Roberts, the court held the
changes made by the new AAA law,
enacted at the last session did not
"cure the infirmities of the original
act" which it held unconstitutional
last week.

HOLDING COMPANY
MEASURE ARGUED
John w. Davis Accused of
Collision by Govern
ment at Charlotte

Charlotte, Jan. 13.-(AP)-John j.
Burns, general counsel for the Sc
curities Exchange Commission, today
challenged the jurisdiction of the
court in the American States Public
Service Company case-involving the
holding company act-and charged
there was collision among the parties
to the litigation.
Arguing before the fourth circuit
court OF appeals on the appeal from
the ruling of Judge William c. Cole
man at Baltimore November z, that
the holding company act was uncon-
stitutional, Burns argued that the
case did not present a proper pro-
ceding for constitutional decision.
The case arose from petition OF
trustees of the American States Com
pany, which is in bankruptcy, to the
Baltimore district court as to wheth-
er they should register under the
holding act.
John D. Davis is counsel for Louten
back, and Burns charged the issues
between American States and Louten-
back were manufactured by collision
of Davis and James PEPPER, counsel
for American States, solely for the
purpose of establishing test case.
The American States case is regard
ed by attorneys as the "spearhead" OF
