Full Measure
To Beat Nazis
BY W. W. CHAPLIN

Init News Service National Defense Expert
NEW YORK. May 15.-Prime
Minister Robert @. Menzies of
Australia said today that the only
way Germany can be quickly
beaten is by the full measure"
cooperation of Britain and the
United States.
At a press conference the Aus
tralian prime minister who has
Just returned from a personal in
spection of the war zone, declared
1.-THE countries at war which
are aiming at full measures are
concentrating all production for
war which is not absolutely
necessary for civil needs. That
means ratiOning of gasoline and
other things, restricting imports
and otherwise shifting to war
production. A system like that
interferes with normal prOduc-
ton, but il is the only way to
beat highly organized enemy.
DEFENDS ON PEOPLE
at is possible for a country
still not at war TO concentrate
all effort on war production, but
that depends largely on the
realization of the people that
the issue at stake is vital to
their country"
Asked about Britain's war aims
the blunt, stocky Australian re.
piled:
II don't understand all this
talk about war aims. Our first
aim is to win the war. Don't
people know what the war Is
about ."
Menzies said that the postwar
world is certain to be very unlike
the pre-war world. and expressed
satisfaction that this is so.
GOOD OLD DAYS, GONE
"In the British empire, GER
tainly," he said. there will
never again be such extremes of
wealth and poverty. The great
incomes have already been re-
duced by the simple process of
taking them away. We will
never go back to what are often
spoken of as the good old days.
think that is a good thing. I
don't believe In the good old
days"
ASKS WHO is HESS"
He also eluded all questioning
about labor and defense strikes by
saying that's your problem anc
when asked concerning the sig.
nificance of the flight to England
of Rudolph Hess, deputy Naz
fuehrer, he asked:
"Who Is Hess"
Pressed for some comment or
the Hess sensation he remarked
81 am half Scottish and half
lawyer; I'm not accustomed to
speculate on matters about
which l know nothing"
Menzies left by train for Chi
cago, where he will return to
Australia by plane.

LIVING UP 10 his film reputa.
ton for doing the unusual, Robert
Montgomery again essays a freak
role in the comedy melodrama
Here Comes Mr.. Jordan" which
opened at the Fox yesterday.
In all OF his varied career, Mr.
Montgomery has never made such
a detour off the beaten track as
he has in this case of a'saxophone-
playing prizefighter whose number
is called before il is due.
II is therefore up 10 the
celestial guide, one Mr.. Jordan
10 hustle Montgomery back to
earth and find him a body he can
inhabit until his scheduled demise
sometime in the 1905.
The first choice, that OF a
wealthy scion conveniently muir
dered by his wife. doesn't turn out
10 be such a happy one. so Mont
gomery abandons this incarnation
for that of a fighter. thereby full
filling his destiny in time 10 be-
come champion.
DO YOU GET 1T?
Although he assumes these
roles. he never changes his APP
pearance insofar AS the audience
is concerned but the various
characters see him as the other
men. This evidently led the pro-
ducers 10 fear that audiences
would become confused. which
they no doubt are. and they have
consequently devoted too much
time in explaining the idea.
In order TO insure that even the
village idiot would get the con
Ssption, they devote long speeches
explaining just what form Of
Otsphysics they had in mind and
rob the story of much OF It's light

wild West Legislation
The first legislature In the new
territory assembled in September, 1861,
at Yankton. The session was a stormy
one and many exciting scenes took !
place over the bill locating the capital
there. The members Of the legislature
included ministers, doctors. merchants
and rough frontiersmen wearing buck |
skin suits. mocoasins and long hair.
A historian of the early legislative |
sessions was the late Moses K. ARM I
strong. who became q member of con-
gress from the territory. Describing /
one Of the early sessions, he wrote:
MY seat in one Of those early Ses-
sions was near a frontier desperate
by the name of Jim Somers, who some
years later was shot dead in a fight
over a claim he had jumped. He was
4 giant In frame and absolutely fear
less. He gloried in his gaudily decor
ated buckskin suit and long hair. At
once he rode his horse into
/ saloon and shot the sheriff. His own
ieath followed shortly after.

Red Hot Politics and Law-Making When
Montana Was Part of Dakota Territory


In 1861 all that portion Of what
is today Montana was included in
the territory Of Dakota, and re-
manned under the Dakota territOr-
ial government until Idaho became
a territory in 1853 and took part
Of Dakota's area; and in 1864 Mon
tana became a territory with its
boundaries the same as are those
of this state today.
The first territorial government that
the scattering white population in all
that great area of Montana east OF
the Rockies had, therefore, was the
Dakota government at Yankton, which
was 1867 miles by river from Fort
Benton. Yankton was established in
1859 on the Missouri at a point on the
southeastern corner Of what is today
South Dakota.
Steamers coming up the river in the
spring Of 1851 brought news Of the ap-
proval by President Buchanan of the
bill creating Dakota territory, which
