missioner Mahoney:
Dear Mr. Littell:
In reply to your request for a
report of the meeting of the COM
mittee of the Federal Land COun-
ties of Montana which was held in
Great Falls on April 10:
The meeting was well attended
with commissioners from many
counties throughout the state as well
as county clerks and county agents;
also Mr.. Moe, state publicity agent
and Mr.. Ferguson. supervisor of
the Lewis and Clark National For
est
The object of the meeting was to
promote legislation clarifying the /
necessity of the Federal Government +
to pay its share of the cost of local
government in counties where fed T.
eral lands are involved. We have
no scrap with the Federal Govern (
ment or any of its agencies, bat .
want to correct it in its errors. The
taxpayers of Lincoln county have /
long endured the continuous abuse
of their county being whitfield away
year after year until it is now al .
most 800 Federally owned. Think
of it - only 20ft taxable If con
ditions should continue we would be
forced back to neighboring county /
for our existence. l am rolling this .
out to you just as conditions exist
let the chips fall awhere they will .
Legislation on this will not be as
speedy as we would wish it to be.
1t will take some time as there arc
many types of Federally owned
lands Forestry lands. Indian lands,
Federal controlled areas. National
Parks and monuments A bill is in
the making, its passage is sure to
follow, just as sure as the Kootenai
River runs downstream
Sincerely yours,

MAGMUS0N HENTS MAINTENANCE or
 HAYNES HIGHWAY
If Canada Won't Keep Up lis Part, ARC May,
 Says Senator

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Sena- tor Magnuson (D.-Wash.) said today he believed if Canada does not maintain the few miles of the Haines cutoff on the Alaska Military High way it will permit the Alaska Road Commission to do so.
 The Alaska Military Highway con- structed through Canada by the Army Engineers during the war was turned over to Canada on April 2 Canada announced the road will not be opened for civilian travel at this time, but will be used for Canadian Army naneuvers.
 Magnuson told a reporter he be- lleved the action was taken by Canada because there are no gaso- line service stations or tourist &C., commodations along the road, and also because of maintenance costs
 The Haines cutoff, from Haines Alaska, to the Alaska Highway Sys- tenn, runs through Canada for a few miles and Magnuson said the State Department had inquired if Canada intended to maintain it. as 1t is an important link in the TerritQrys $ highway system.

ATTEMpT5 TO END DISPUTE
 HAVE FAILED
l. |. w. U. Representative Makes Sfdfemenf-Big
 Passenger Tie-up

SEATTLE, April 13-Steve Glu- maz, northwest representative of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, said last night attempts to bring to ar- bitration the Alaska longshore dis pute has failed, continuing the two-weeks old tieup of Alaskan ports.
 Shipping circles reported here, meanwhile, that hundreds are seek ing passage to the north and sched- uled sailings. when they resume, are booked full well into June. Airlines are reported carrying all the passengers they can handle, but applications continue to pile up.
 People Stranded
 Many people. stranded here by the strike, are seeking passage on fishing boats or any other craft northward bound.
 Thousands of essential Alaska cannery workers, mining and con- struction men must be transported in the next few weeks in anticipa- tion of the Territory's busy season, shipping men said.
 No relief .c in sight," one spokesman asserted. Even with put labor disputes, the nine or ten passenger carriers now in service wouldn't be enough to meet the neavy dcmsrd for space, and no suitable extra ships are available for the run :
 No spokesman for the Alaska Dock Operators could be reached here for comment on the stalemate in the arbitration move.
 Glumaz Places Blame
 Glumaz blamed the operators, saying they had "retracted their proposal to arbitrate because, 1t seems, they want to provoke stalemate to tie up Alaska ship ping in the hope of arousing senti- ment against the longshoremen for going on strike for just demands
 The longshoremen are demanding wage adjustments with retroactive pay.

BULLS AT PARTY HQ CAUSE DEMOS
 TO WHET up AXE
Hannegan Due to Be Call. ed on Carpet df House
 Caucus Monday

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Angry House Democrats hit the warpath today for the scalps of officials at the partys national headquarters responsible for recent mistakes which have riled legislative tempers.
 One lawmaker, Rep. Cox of Geor- gia, even went so far as to say the expedition may culminate in an ef- fort to oust National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan himself,
 Most of the lawmakers expressed doubt, however, that such drastic action would be taken. They pre- dicted, instead, that Hannegan would merely be called on the carpet, al- though some of his aides would get the axe.
 Cox told reporter the whole matter probably would be discussed at an official cancus of House Demo- crats tentatively set for Monday, A caucus is a party meeting at which policies usually binding on members are decided.
 '"The caucus may draft message requesting the President to dismiss Hannegan," Cox asserted.
 The Georgian was one of more than 50 who signed petition yes terday demanding the party meet ing be held to discuss recent trouble involving some national headquart- CTS personnel.

 FATAL CUNNING
Montana Man Stays Best Friend" Over Four
 Pieces of Potato

JORDAN, Mont, April 13.-An argument over four pieces of French fried potatoes in Jordan restaurant resulted in the fatal shooting of one man yesterday, and a coroner's jury named his long time friend as the man who fired the lethal weapon, .45 caliber revolver.
 The jury's verdict said Claude Watson, 45, a State Highway De- partment maintenance superinten- dent, "came to his death from g bullet inflicted on him by Frank Foster" who, Sheriff Corner Phil lip J. Fellman said had admitted the shooting, declaring T believe he's gone the best friend ever had"
 Fellman said witnesses declared at the inquest that Fister was eat ing in the restaurant shortly after midnight, when Watson entered and grabbed four pieces of French friend potatoes from his plate.
 An argument resulted in a fist fight between the two and Foster was handed "a beating" Fellman said, adding that Tester then dis appeared and returned to the res- taurant few minutes later brand ishing pistol.
 "You haven't guts enough to shoot,' the sheriff quoted Wat son as saying.

SPAIN ATOM RESEARCH IS
 BEFORE UN0
Franco Invites Probe ol German Scientists
 Activities

NEW YORK, April 13--Members of the United Nations Security Council guardedly studied today an invitation from the Spanish cabi- net asking the council to determine for itself by inspection whether refugee German scientists are en- gagged in atomic research in Spain
 Council reaction was immediately lacking, but one delegation which declined to be identified had indi- cated previously that an invitation from Generalissimo Franciso Fran co asking for such an investigation would seem logical answer for the Spanish leader to make to Po- lands charges.
 While there probably will be no immediate decision on acceptance or rejection of Francois invitation, the possibility arose that Spain might be permitted to state Ter case before the council.
 Spanish sources said Franco might send representative to the council, if asked, on the condition that he be allowed to speak with out taking the role of defending a nation "on trial"
 Some authorities suggested that the council under it's elastic pow CTS could call upon a none-voting non-member to participate in it's own interests, if desired, in order that both sides might be heard.

Three Boating Farmers Have Pioneering Spirii
 Alaska Asks of SetIIefs

SEATTLE, April 13--Alaska says it wants only permanent settlers with the pioneering spirit
 Three such-Howard Pawn and Llye Mclaughlin, sons of MT. and Mrs. Walter E. Mclaughlin, Win dom. Minn., farmers-have started painting a shallow draft, 19-foot, open-cockpit, cutboard motorboat, the 'Mackie,' in which they plan to depart late next week on the first leg of trip to homestead quarter sections of the lush farmland on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. They are 35, 25 and 21 years old.
 Baked, by strlkes, from taking steamship passage north, the three brothers turned in their steamer tickets and bought the "Mackie." A fourth brother, Floyd, 8. wants no part of the venture and will stay here and await steamship passage north.
 Oldtimers Snake Heads Oldtimers who know the perils of smallboat travel on the comparative ly sheltered waters of the famed scenic Inside Passage" shook their heads as the brothers painted their craft. hunted up canvas to protect the 1,2OO pounds of equipment they will load, and quizzed boat owners around the Lake Washington wharf where they are outfitting their craft.
 The Mclaughlin boys are Getern- ined to make it - Well take our time, and travel according to wind and weather-and fog and tides" :" said the eldest, Howard. He and Pawn served in the Army. Lyle, a Navy veteran, will be navigator" Want Farms of Their Own The Mclaughlin boys are deternl- ined to own farms of their own. Their parents have rented farms for years.
 And. when the Mclaughlin boys worked at Anchorage, Alaska, before they were called to the armed serv- ice. they saw something of the latent riches of the Kenai Peninsula strawberries as big as teacups and bluegrass as high as your belt" says Howard, going all-dreamy. The Mclaughlin boys plan to cruise to Ketchikan and Juneau; | ship the boat to Seward, then board her again for a trip around the peninsula and up Cook Inlet to
 Homer-and the homestead sites they have in mind.

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Inside fact about the arrest of Russian naval officer Nicolai Redin is that J. Ed gar Hoover's G-men had their case sewed up 100 percent before they cracked down on him. The facts were even placed before President Truman in advance.
 Those attending the White House conference regarding Redin includ- ed hard-working Attorney General rom Clark, Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and the Pres ;dent himself. Clark outlined the facts briefly and then asked Ache son:
 Nov, if this is going to embar- rass our relations with Russia, I'll hold it up.'
 "The only thing I'm interested :n." replied Acheson, lis whether YOU have a case. If you have, then go ahead"
 Clark replied that, unquestionab- ly, J. Edgar Hoover had built up an airtight case, and outlined the re- cord briefly, Truman expressed great interest and said he would like to see the record himself.
 The record consists of about 100 pages conclusively showing that Redin tried to buy and eventually did obtain the plans of the USS Yellowstone. The FBI had been shadowing him for about eight months, in fact ever since he ap- preached member of the ships crew.
