and was elected to the Senate In
1924.
Mrs. Reece's father had become q
figure in the Capital even before
he entered the Senate. He came
here during the World War to serve
in the Judge Advocate Generals
Office and later was assigned to
Gen. Pershing's staff, serving over
seas for some time. AfterWard, he
was associated with the United
States shipping Board and was in
the Department Of Justice during
President Hardingas administra ation.
He and his family were living here
when his daughter met pr1e of the
CAPITALS most eligible bachelors-a
young freshman member OF the
House from Tennessee. RepreSen-
tatiye Reece was serving his second
term In Congress when he and
Louise God were married IN 81.
Thomas Church In 1928.
Mrs. Reece has never taken the
stump for the Republican Party but
she has accompanied her husband
on most of his campaign tours since
their marriage. When they go by
car. she's the chauffeur. Last sum-
mer, when the party chairman was
making q swing through the Far
West, they travelled by air much OF
the time. Mrs. Reece was amused
when she contrasted the tour with
their earlier trips over the rugged
mountain roads of her husbands
district in Tennessee.
Not only is she an expert driver.
but she also is one of those rare
women who know something about
what is under the hood Of q car.
She learned that back In 1921. For
eight months she served with Anne
Morgan's Committee for Devastated
France as q member Of the motor
corps. Changing tires and taking
engines apart became routine.
Now her daughter Louise is be-
coming an expert in another field
of transportation. A student at
Stephens College in Columbia. Mo-,
Louise is taking the flying course
there and is just about ready for
lher private pilots license.
Mrs. Reece's activities during
World War II were centered in the
Red Cross in johnson City, Tenn,
their home town. She organized q
surgical dressings unit and soon
found herself in a five-day-a-week
Job. After the unit was discontinued
she entered the home service branch
Iof the Red Cross. Altogether she
rolled up a record Of 5000 hours
| of volunteer work during the war
She also planted large victory
garden and when she and MFR. Reece
rented their home recently, the new
tenants fell heir to lovely harvest
lof vegetables. The Reeces are now
making their home at the Mayfiower
Hotel.
Mrs. Reece puts politics at the
head of her list. Of special interests,
tbut she also loves to travel and,
lfor her, the two frequently have
gone together. She made several
trips to Europe before her marriage
and returned with Mr.. Reece in
1897. They also have seen most
of the United States together.
Popular in washington society for
Ia number of years, both have been
/ in great demand as guests since Mr.,
Reece took over the Craftsmanship
of the Republican National Conn

Carroll Declares Ban
In Army Trial Defense
Sets CIear-Cut Issue
BY the Associated Press

BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, Aug.
22.-Capt. Earl J. Carroll yesterday
said the United States Army in Ger
many had set a clear-cut issue
Tuesday by barring him from de-
Tending any more American pris-
oners held in Army jails in the
American zone.
The issue, the. San Bruno (Calif)
soldier and lawyer said, was: Can
a man in illegal confinement have
counsel to test the cause of his con-
finement?"
This issue taken with military
authorities in this theater is now
clear cut" he added
Capt. Carroll has been outstand-
ingly critical of Army court-martial
methods. He was defending at least
six soldiers and civilians when the
order banning his further legal ac-
tivity came from Brig. Gen. v. T. F.
Bresnahan, commander of the con-
tinental base section here.
An Army handout said Capt. Car
roll was withdrawn from other I'M
related cases" to avoid delay in the
Lichf1eld guardhouse cruelty trial of
Col. James A. Kilian of Highland
Park, H., in which Capt. Carroll is
possible prosecution witness.
Two File Complaints.
Two of Capt. CAROLS clients filed
complaints of wrong" with Gen.
Bresnahan late yesterday charging
deprivation of available counsel for
defense in violation of Article of
War IT," which provides that the
accused shall have the right to be
represented by counsel of his own
selection "if such counsel be reason
ably available"
Capt. Morris Marmorstein of
Jersey City, N. j., said in his COM
plant that Capt. Carroll had re-
quested Gen. Bresnahan as witness
in his pending trial and alleged that
this is one of the reasons that the
said Capt. Carroll has been relieved
as my special defense counsel"
Capt. Marmorstein is accused of
making false report with intention
to deceive his commanding officer.
Ora B. Stallard, a civilian from
Bristol, Tenn, filed the other COM
plant asserting he had been con-
fined % days without counsel or
charges. He has since been accused
of involuntary manslaughter in the
death of a German civilian in q
traffic accident.
Capt. Carroll said in a statement
that Il undertook to come to the aid
Of fellow Americans in confinement
in military prisons for protracted
periods without trial.
MY course is clear. I am in mill
tary service. I must obey the orders
given me by military superiors. The

Canning of Tomatoes

I Bozeman. - Nowthat toma-

Montana homemakerS need to
be thinking about the many
ways in which they can use this
nutritious food, said Bessie E.

Whether canning the toma-

! canned tomatoes, however, will
hold a large share of their Wit

Miss McClelland said that the
ripest tomatoes should be sort
ed and used first with the 9TH

Early light frosts may hit
some of the tomatoes while they
are still green on the vines,
but these can be brought in

enheit) in either sunlight or
shade, they will ripen. This will
hold true for those about to
turn color. Others should be
cooked or picked soon after
picking.
With conditions for canning
not the same in different parts
of the state, Miss McClelland
suggests that homemakers call
their local county agents or
home demonstration leaders for
the best method of canning to-
matoes.

Bulletin Describes Use
OF Concentrate Feeds

Bozeman. - How wild yellow
mustard seed and fanweed seed
may be used as concentrate
feeds for milking cows without
harming the quality of the milk
is described in a new bulletin
just released by the Montana
agricultural experiment station.
The bulletin, wild Yellow
Mustard Seed and Fanweed
Seed as Concentrate Feeds for
Milking Cows" was written by
J. O. Tretsven and j. A. Nelson
of the dairy industry depart
ment of Montana State college.
The bulletin may be obtained
from county agents or by writ
ing the experiment station.
In reaching their conclusions,
Tretsven and Nelson conducted
feeding trials during the win
tiers of 1942-43, 1884 and
l944-45. For the first two tests
the ground seeds of the two
weeds found annually in Mon
tana wheat and other crops
were fed to Jersey and Holstein
COWS as supplements to the
grain ration. Results were then
checked against those obtained
from feeding soybean oil meal
as a supplementary feed.
In the third test, a ration of
10 per cent ground wild yellow
mustard seed as a supplement
was used and checked against a

contains from eight to 16 per
cent of ground yellow mustard
seed; that COWS will produce 100
pounds. of milk on less con-
centrate and gain slightly more
in weight when 10 per cent OF
ground wild yellow mustard
seed was used in the ration;
that the two seeds will cause
no bad effects on flavor OF
milk, cream, or butter, and
that the seeds have a hj"h per-
centage of protein and a very
high percentages of ether ex-
tract.
Tretsven emphasized that the
mustard seed can be fed in rel
atively large amounts before or
after milking without giving
any bad flavor to the milk,
cream or butter, but that fan
weed seed can be fed only after
milking without giving any bad
flavorS.
