Rail Land Grant Case
Won by Government
After II Years
Northern Poetic Yields
Vast Truct and Puys
U. S. 100000
By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 29.-The
United States was richer today by
100000 and $4,000 acres of land,
and held clear title to an additional
100000 acres after settlement of
a land grant case dating back to
1864 and costing S1,500,000 to COM
plete.
Officials of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, losers in the case widely
known as one of the most involved
litigationS in American history, con-
ceded defeat yesterday by paying
District Court Clerk A. A. La Franz
boise the s3OO,OOO
District Judge Lewis D. Schwel-
lenbach handed down the decree
denying the railroads claims to the
land and ordering the payment.
Robert E. Mulroney, chief of the
trials section, lands division of the
Justice Department, said the long
drawn-out controversy had cost the
Government close to S1OOO,000. De-
fenSe attorneys estimated the rail-
roads costs at S500,000
Back in 1864 and in 1870 land
grants were made to the company to
aid in building the road from Ash
land, Wis. to Tacoma, Wash.
Nearly 100000 acres were grant
ed, and many years later the COM
pany maintained it still was en-
titled to some 100000 acres and
claimed the right to select 100000
acres in areas withdrawn for forest
and other purposes.
Congress in 1924 suspended the
issuance of any new patents to the
company and ordered an investi-
cation of the claims. Five years
later, after numerous hearings, Con-
greSs acted to retain the disputed
lands.
The Government charged the
company had violated its agree
ment with the United States, had
been guilty of fraud during the ad-
ministration of the grant and had
obtained more lands than it was
entitled to in the contract.
The Government also accused the
company of fraud in acquiring some
of the disputed lands. Other Sec
tions, it admitted, fell under the
railroads control as the result of
errors made by the Department of
the Interior in administering the
grant.
The cash payment was for the
$1,000 acres considered in the origi-
nal trial. The $4,000 acres re-
turned to Government control was
valued at Sl,200,000

FIFTH COLUMNS MAY
AID BOTH NATIONS

If Hitler confines himself to Tx
raine wheat and Causacus oil he
not only gains those two commodi-
ties and steps into Asia Minor, but
he also avoids the Napoieonlc err

taking on the whole OF Russia.
Also, here again he may be aid
ed BY a Fifth Column of Ukrain-
ians he has long trained for the
purpose. And per contra, a Russian
counter-thrust into Poland or
Czechoslovakia would probably find
underground support.
The Russian Navy is worth this
line: its "battelships' are too old
and its cruisers too old or too few
to matter much. It's submarines
however, are numerous if spctty,
and may interfere with German
ore-boats and transports in Scan
dinavian waters.

RAILWAY FACILITIES
ONCE CAUSED COLLAPSE

Russian war industries are locat-
ed largely far behind the frontiers,
which is well because for some
mysterious reason there are few
antiaircraft guns and shelters ir
Russian cities, or even at railroad
functions.
Yet railroads always have been a
great Russian weakness, and Nazi
surveys indicate they still are.
While Russian production increas-
ed $50 per cent, railway facilities
have increased only 48 per cent
and only 80 per cent of the railways
are double-tracked.
Rail paralysis caused the Rus
sian collapse in 1917, and some say
1t nearly did during the small
Finnish War. Foreign experts may

lapse, ana Britain may be expected
TO furnish them.
