NEW YORK, May l4-Millions of Englishmen are making air raid shelters out of their beds just by putting pillow over their heads to shut out the noise and going to sleep.
 They have found in nine months under bombardment that there aren't any bombproof shelters. The only absolutely safe place when bombs start dropping is out of town and after they begin to fall it's too late to get there.
 The next safest place is down in a deep subway station, but sta- tions aren't entirely bombproof. Several hundred South Londoners were drowned in one when big

 Fewer than a hunGTcd thousand people find shelter in Londons deep subway stations, leaving seven million others to go somewhere else. In night raid most of these seven million act as if the sirens hadn't sounded, the guns weren't barking and the airplanes weren't droning overhead.
 They crowd the neighborhood saloons until closing time and then go home and go to bed. They hurry in off the street because houses shut out some of the frightening noise but they figure they are just

Soviet Ambassador Asks for Conference with Secretary of State HULL, OUMANSkY
 TO GET TOGETHER Meeting Between Officials Is First in More than
 One Year

WASHINGTON. May 14.-A show down of the uncertain relations be- tween the United States and Rus sia is believed imminent.
 This was indicated as confer ence was arranged with Secretary of State Cordell Hull by Soviet Am Lassader Oumansky, the first in more than one year.
 Both American and Soviet circles are silent on the purpose and sig nificance of Oumansky's call but there has been gradual tightening of export restrictions of most ma terials sought by Russia and this has led recently to virtual sus- pension of Soviet buying in the United States.
 It is inferred that much of the ex- ports to Russia have found their way into German hands, but neither side makes any positive declaration regarding this subject.

 NAzISCLAIM HESS p0SE5, PEACE MAKER
Flight of Number } Leader BeIiitIed ' Germans
 Given Warning
LEY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Authorized Berlin quarters said documents left behind by Rudolf Hess indicated he planned to visit the Duke of Hamilton, an old friend, at Glasgow. in an effort to bring about peace.
 The Maxi spokesman said: Hess had a fixed idea that he was sort of Messiah by whom, in a spec tacular individual gesture, he could bring about termination of hos tilities."
 The Nazi spokesman declared Hess has no intention of approach ing British Prime Minister Churchill or other British Govern ment leaders but he has a crazy notion" that Pacifist Group could end the war.
 Hess did not flee as a traitor" the Nazi spokesman asserted.
 The spokesman reiterated that Germany will not accept any peace offer except on German terms.
 Germans Warned
 In the Reich itself. the Germans have received an oblique warning against listening to foreign broad cast and this warning was issued as the British radio flooded the air waves with Hess stories in Czech. Spanish, Norwegian, French, Ger man and other languages.
 The DNB, German news agency broadcast a list today of seven re- cent cases of persons sentenced from four to six years for tuning in radios so as to receive foreign broadcasts.
 Only two of five morning news papers in Berlin mentioned the Hess mysterious flight from Ger many to Scotland.

Persons in Government Positions Are 5ubjed 10
 Many Investigations
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May IA = Don't, for goodness sake, call it a witch hunt, because it isn't like that at all. But rarely has there been so much investigate your neighbor stuff going on as there is in Wash ington today.
 If you even plan to apply Tor a government job, be sure that your patriotic record is as clean as George Washington's.
 It happens like this: You can't work for the government if you owe allegiance to any organization that is violently "agin" our politi- cal way of life. Thus, when you apply for job, the Civil Service Commission makes all possible ln- vestigation within it's means.
 Suppose you get job. You get assigned to a typewriter, we'll say, in the Treasury Department. The Treasury has it's own investiga- tory staff. It gives you another going over. Still. all clear.
 Then, you get an offer from a friend you have made to come over to the Office of Production Management at better salary You make the jump. You are in- vestigated again-because certainly there are few spots where per- son playing loose and free with his governments secrets is more dan gerous that at OPM.
 REFER IT TO FBI
 Still, you come through without even a slightly muddy hem. Then, somebody hears something. You were seen last night with very suspicious person. The somebody who heard something sits down and writes your boss, or the Federal Blu reau of Investigation. or the De- partment of Justice. If the justice people think there is the slightest possibility there might be some- thing in the case, they refer it to FBI, and J. Edgar Hoover's boys would be knitting on the job ii they didn't make thorough inves- tigation.
 So you see where this thing leads. Working for the govern ment is becoming stroll through maze of investigations. I know of one young woman who has worked for four different agen- cies in three years and claims she knows of six different times she has been investigated. Some of these were routine-but a couple n~ t.~N

Montana Var Veteran
Maintains He Once
CAPTURED W0zi Chief

About rs years ago, Adolf Hitler was
reputedly captured by a war veteran
who now resides In Montana.
The veteran Is George A. TroxeI of
Kalispell, who was disabled during the
World war Troxel is the grandson of
q Civil war general and enlisted st
Bismarck. He was assigned to COM
pany D, $500 infantry, $50 division.
Troxel saw active service on the
italian front.
During the battle Of Vittorio veneto.
Troxel, singlehanded, captured an
Austrian machine gun nest and four
men. One Of these captives is said to
have been young soldier, later
known to be "Germanys man Of des-
tiny" and present fuehrer.
Troxel said he visited Hitler In an
italian prison camp on several occa-
sions and gave him cigarets and dis
cussed the war. Troxel returned to
Hitler a photograph found In his pos
session and said to have been that Of
his mother. Hitler bitterly declared
later that this was taken and de-
stroyed by Italian guards
Troxel, among other awards, re-
ceived an Italian medal for bravery
and an Italian service bar.

while coming, to open the door. 1t was
open when he got there and slammed
to and barred as soon as he was In.
after Joe reached the kitchen I
noticed that White Calf had secured
a small tree and was parading up
and down between the houses. The
stick was about IL feet long and White
Calf was dragging it by the small end.
Suddenly he stopped beside the store
door and crashed the stick through
the small window which furnished
light for the store.
This was evidently too much for
Pike. He snatched a Winchester from
the gun rack Of the counter and adj
vanced to the window. The latter was
small and he was able only to get
his head and shoulders out, but as
soon as he did he commenced lively
fusilade in that vicinity. Having emp
tied his gun he withdrew again into
the store Just then we heard two
more shot fired and Immediately fol-
lowing them the most horrible sound
imaginable. It was neither q groan,
nor cry Of fear, anger or pain; but
perhaps a combination of all of these.
The next instant the store door was
thrown wide open and out walked Pike,
covered with blood from his face to
his feet, and more coming in spurts
with each beat Of his heart.
"All this we saw from the window.
I saw the situation was serious and
grabbed my rifle from over the bed.
Joe took it out of my hands, threw
open the door and called out, Are
you hurt, Pike7'
Battle Became General
1.-THE answer was something that
sounded like yes Then both he and
Joe commenced firing at the Indians,
while Bob and I made for the store
for more guns and ammunition. Just
rs passed Pike he fired at an In
dian, who dropped instantly. 1t turned
put later to be squaw, although Pike
said he only knew 1t was an Indian.
Bob and I snatched guns out Of
the rack and worked our way back
to the kitchen. Just as I came out
saw Pike throw his Winchester into
The hollow of his left arm and hug
It to his body, to pump another car
ridge into the chamber. Then I knew
he had been hit again.

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR MONTANA'S
STOCK RAISERS
REPORT RELEASED By DIAMOND
ON SHEEP AND CATTLE
rs OPTIMISTIC

Prospects Of increased activity in
stockraising Ia Montana are brigbf
according to a report on the sheer
and cattle feeding situation released
by Jay @. Diamond, senior aerlcIII-
tural statistician for the AGRICULTURAL
marketing service.
The trend was especially noticeable
in sheep and lambs where the num-
Der fed during the 194l-I942 season
win probably exceed the record num-
Der fed during 1940-1941, Diamond
said.
Shipments OF feeder lambs fnto the
corn belt states from the western
growing area were larger than last
year, with an approximate Is uercent
larger number inspected at stockyard
markets and some increase IN direct
shipments noted.
Feeding In Montana is expected TO
exceed the record number Of last year
November weather was generally IA
vorable for lamb feeding. The late
start in conditioning lambs may have
some influence on the marketing OF
slaughter lambs during the month.
The most important development In
the cattle feeding during November
Diamond said, was the increased
movement of stocker and feeder cattle
into the corn belt states. November
was the first month in the last five
in which the number of shipments ex-
ceeded those for the same period last
year
The increase in November shipments
offset only a small portion of the de-
crease during the preceding four
months.
The number of cattle winter-fed In
Montana win show little change, Dia-
mond said. Increases will be shown
by Colorado. Utah, Idaho and WASH
ington, with decreases shown In Wyo-
ming, Arizona, Nevada and California.

xious to go along than to enter into
conversation.
"a little after we arrived at the
post Pike was still alive but very low.
The place was alive with breeds. Riel
had difficulty in getting them to come
the night before but when one had
returned TO the camp and reported the
Indians had gone, they were all eager
to get out and fight-when there was
no one to fight with.
1.-THE doctors examination showed
that Pike had been hit In the Jaw,
just above the point Of the chin, and
that the jawbone had been broken
completely In two. A remarkable fact
was that the bullet had been split In
two by the bone, one part lodging In
the neck below the ear, the other piece
going clear around and lodging back
of the neck.
THE next day, after fixing Pike up,
the doctor returned. For 10 days there
was no apparent improvement and we
were about to give Pike up. Something
appeared to be wrong and we sent for
DR.. DePalm of Lewistown. He decided
that the jaw had been wrongly set
and it would be necessary to re-break
it and set it again before it would
heal. Pike said, Go ahead and break
it; If I die, die, that's ALL
1.-The second operation was over in
a day or two, and soon there was
improvement, but it was the following
April before he left his bed. Then he
went to Maiden and together with Joe
Hamilton opened store"

Defense Industries
Seen for Montana

Frank Johnson, regional clearance
officer for the social security board,
told meeting of Montana employ
ment service officials he believed that
in few months Montana would have
much defense industrial work to carry
out.
He said he believed some plants
would be moved inland from the coast
and advised Montana employers to
take stock Of their future labor needs
and to make immediate plans for a
labor supply. He advised all employers
to make a survey of their present
forces to determine where women
could be substituted for men who may
presently be moving into war industry
or into the armed forces.
