WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Reports

The Fourth Marine division and
the Seventh Army division encoun-

Patterson pointed out that the

Patterson noted that although the

SEATTLE, Feb. "a committee
representing Wa hing ton and
Alaska fishermen, boat owners and
dealers, recommended unanimously
at the OPA conference Monday, a
3-cent halibut differential in favor
of Seattle over Prince Rupert and

Sponsors of the schedule insisted
this is necessary for resumption OF

the absence of differential turned

Fishermen said they can make
four landings at Prince Rupert in

Dies Investigators
Unearfh Big Ringof
p|offers;; 30 indicted
BY HOWARD FLIEGER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The Dies
Committee on m-American activl-
ties finally hit the Justice Depart
ment's jackpot-but the fact es-
capped the general public.
The House committee which for
years has been pointing an angry
finger in various directions, never
has been very enthusiastically re-
ceived by the more quiet spy-hunt-
ers in the Justice Department.
Some of the Governments inves-
tigators felt the congressional COM
mittee was too prone to accuse be-
fore it had convincing evidence. One
of the most apparent differences
developed over the committee
charge that Communicating en-
ployees populated the federal pay
rolls.
But the Justice Department will
tell you that the Dies probers had
lot to do with the recent indict-
ment of 30 men and women accused
of plotting to overthrow the u S.
Government and supplant it with
National Socialism cut to the Hit
Ter pattern.
Behind the indictments is the
work of Army and Navy intelligence
and the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation. But much of the evidence
now in the files of Department of
Justice prosecutors came directly
from tips turned up first by Dies
investigators.
Senate and House committee
members were closeted in con-
ference room trying to smooth
away differences of opinion over
several items in 100000 de-
| ficiency bill The argument grew
SO loud at times that reporters wait
! ing outside the office could hear
the sharp words. Suddenly the
noise subsidized and clear tenor
voice began singing:
Its all over;

There was a furry of applause
and the Lawmakers walked out, all
smiles, with the bill fixed up to
suit everybody. The soloist was

$1,000 For pak

Holmes County's Board Of Supervisors
approved this week m appropriation Of
$1,000 to be used ~ . backlog d" sup
port for the Holmes Couny State Park,
three miles south Of Durant.
A group Of interested citizens appear
ed before the Board and asked its MEM
bers to include this appropriation in
the county's l944-45 budget which was
set up at the September meeting.
1t is not anticipated that the money
appropriated by the Supervisors will be
needed TO support the park as it has
been on a self-sustaining basis in the
past. However. the State Park Board
requires that at least $1,000 in money
be- available to guarantee the proper
operation of the park if needed.
With this appropriation granted by
the Board county citizens and the state
Park Board officials will be able to go
forward with planning a program to
open our park next spring. 1t is planned
to keep it open the year round eventual
ly on an enlarged and self-sustaining
basis.
