that the National Capital should have
. suitable auditorium. He withheld
comment on details Of how the project
should be carried out pending study
of the question by his Public Build
ings and Grounds Committee.
King Favors Auditorium.
The King resolution directs that the
proposed Thomas Jefferson memorial
take the form Of an auditorium, to
be erected on site selected by the
Jefferson Memorial Commission. 1t
directs that a statue of Jefferson be
erected in the building which, to-
gether with such auditorium, shall be
representative of and symbolicai Of the
great contributions by him in con-
nection with preservation of individual
rights and liberties as expressed in
the Declaration of Independence; the
establishment Of religious freedom. as
expressed in the statute Of Virginia,
and the improvement Of the public
school system, and the development
of academic education at the Uni
versity of Virginia and elsewhere"
The limit of cost Of the proposed
memorial would be fixed at not to
exceed 100000. under the King
resolution.
The Jefferson Memorial Commission,
which has been at work since last
June, is believed to be nearly ready
to reach its final decision as to the
location and type Of the memorial.
Senator Barkley. Democrat. of Ken
lucky, chairman Of the Library Com
mittee, to which the King proposal
has been referred. took the view today
that If 1t should be decided to have
the Jefferson Memorial consist OF
some form Of useful structure, an
auditorium would be the best type
Of building in that category. He Il
doubtful, however. of the advisability
of making utility the main feature of
the memorial.
Barkley Cites Precedents.
1--WE built a monument to George
Washington, said Senator Barkley.
I'VE built q monument to Lincoln. and
in view Of that I am wondering
whether it would be advisable to have
the Jefferson Memorial different In
character"
He indicated he is inclined to be-
lieve the Jefferson Memorial should
follow the general character Of the
Washington and Lincoln Monuments
But I am for an adequate audi
torium for Washington, regardless OF
whether it is built in honor OF SOME
distinguished American or not he
added.
Representative Bloom became inter-
ested In Washington's need for large
public auditorium at the time OF
Roosevelts first Inauguration In 1888.
Shortly thereafter. he had bluepfiEts
for q proposed auditorium drawn by
Thomas w. Lamb, New York archi-
tect, who planned the new Madison
Square Garden and other large New
York structures. Bloom also took the
matter up at that time with Secretary
Ickes, but the possibility Of going for
forward with the auditorium proposal
as a P. w. A. project did not ma
terialiDe.
With the present revival Of interest
in the subject, Bloom said today he
plans to write letters with the idea
of forming the proposed committee
representing the two branches Of Con-
gress, the Federal and District gov
ernments and local business interests.

.ICKES WARNS
or U. S. FASCIST
PERIL AT HAND
Danger Called Much
Worse Than KIan

NEW YORK. Dec. 9 dN.s).
A warning against a new madness
the madness Of nations in night
shirts-was sounded today by
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes.
At tire same time a warning
that FaScism might result in the
United States in case of another
major depression. was voiced by
Floyd w. Parsons, publishing
house executive, in addressing the
Personnel Research Federation.
This new menace threatens the
liberties of this country far more
than the Ku Klux Klan ever did,
IckeS charged, in an address at
the annual meeting of the Civil
Liberties Union.
SEES NEW DANGERS
Calling Fascist aggressor coun.
tries Nations in xxx Nighties,"
he declared:
"Fascism, whether of the
right or the left, is the greatest
threat in the world today. Amer
lea which survived as a land Of
liberty, despite the madness Of
men in nightshirtS, is far more
dangerously threatened by a
new madness of nations in
nightshirts.
Invading armies are sent
across the borders of other coun-
tries which are so weak and
helpless as to offer a helpless
prey. The Kleagles and the Klo-
karks now ride bomberS, tanks,
battleships and submarines, over
a field of operations that is in
ternational."
STALKING HORSE
Wealthy and influential men
with fascist leanings are using
communism in this country as
"a wooden horse within the
bowels Of which fasciSm may enter
the shrine Of liberty" Ickes
charged.
Denouncing "Snipings at lib
erty." he listed prosecutions of
minorities for racial and religious
reasons, the misuse Of the militia
and police in strikes, and abroga-
tion Of free speech and assembly
by local officials.

CAII.ATTN HERn LARGE

Mans effort at conservation Of wild
life is not getting cooperation from
nature, at least not in the upper Gal
latin winter elk range, conServationiSts
here assert.
Deterioration Of forage to a point
where depletion of the elk herd in the
area by about 40 percent is necessary
was reported recently by the committee
for the conservation of the upper Cal
latin watershed after a two-day study
of range conditions far up on the wind
swept slopes and ridges in the Gallatin
national forest.
Conservationists reported there is
plenty of forage in the summer time,
but asserted the herd of approximately
$500 elk were eating lower limbs Of
trees in an effort to find enough feed
when deep. SHOWS fill the valleys and
canyons through several months Of
winter and spring. Grasses are being
killed by too close browsing and paw
ing, the report added
The committee recommended the
herd be cut at least 1000, and passed
a resolution urging that the Montana
game and fish commission should have
authority to open and close hunting
seasons on the elk in the Gallatin
region. In recent years short open

URGE CAUTION in
SEED SELECTION
SHORTAGE OF WHEATGRAss HAS
BROUGHT FORTH IN
FERIOR STRAINS

Because the shortage Of crested
wheatgrass seed has brought on
the market a number Of inferiox
strains, farmers and ranchers who
plan to sow this crop this fan are
urged by Ralph ID. Mercer, extern
sion agrOnOmist, TO be unusually
careful in selecting their seed.
Mercer calls attention TO the fact
that there are two recognized strains
Of crested wheatgraSs-Standa and
Fairway The Standard strain is reg
istered by the Montana Seed Growers
association because it fills very def
mite place in the eastern four-fifths
Of the state. While not as leafy as the
FairWay strain, the standard viii pro-
duce a bigger volume Of feed under
adverse moisture conditions.
Beginning with seedlings made in the
fall of 1887 the Montana Seed Growers
association will recognize for registra-
ton only those fields planted to seed
bearing the tag and seal of the asso-
citation, Mercer said. This Is in line
with the former requirement that the
origin Of the seed trace back to the
S. P. L. 1897 selection.
Mercer points out that while reg
istered seed costs slightly more per
pound, less seed is required per acre
to make satisfactory stands. BY plant
ing good seed the grower does not run
the risk of planting unadapted strains
or seed that contains such weeds as
quack grass, Canada thistle and white
TOP.

ICE CAVE FOUND
NEAR TOWNSEND

Montana can boast of many
things; but on these hot days what
would be a better find than cave
full of natural ice. Up in COnfed-
crate country near Townsend in a
little guIch named Our guIch is a
cave often visited by people in the
vicinity who take home with them
sacks of this naturally preserved
ice for refrigeration or freezing
purposes.
The ice forms in cold weather down
deep in the cave which in reality is an
old mine shaft and remains there the
year around, it is said. But the valuable
thing about it, is that when ice is
Clipped off and taken away, more
forms all the time to take its place,
supposedly from the drippings of a
spring.
To obtain entrance to the ice room
is rather difficult, but after once in,
a man can stand and have plenty of
room to cut his ice cubes out for use.
The ice is clear and fine for use in
cooling drinks or other domestic pur-
poses.
