 Washington's poorest guesser is the Pentagon official who trans ferred General Marshall from a plush suite of offices at the Pen tagon to a small two-desk room, just four days before the General was named Secretary of State. Democratic Senator Glenn Taylors mail has quadrupled since he stole the play away from the COP by blasting Bilbo first. Henry Wal lace has jacked the New Repub- lies circulation up from 10000 to 100000 weekly in one month. Bart Crum's new book on Palestine scheduled for March release, will make several State Department of ficials groan in their sleep.

Bill Would Prohibit
parf-Time Cab Drivers

Moving to curb the future increase
in taxicabs and other cars for hire
in Washington, Chairman Buck of
the Senate District Committee yes
terday introduced bill to prohibit
licenses for part-time drivers.
The measure was introduced at
the suggestion of Chairman James
H. Flanagan of the District Public
Utilities Commission, Senator Buck
said.
Under his bill. any person EN-
ployed full time. in the Federal or
District government or working 40
hours or more elsewhere, would be
denied hackers license.
Licenses issued prior to the effec-
tive date of the proposed act would
not be affected.
Taxicab drivers have been COM
planning there are too many cabs
on the street now for the volume
of business. Traffic Department
records show there now are 10,l50
cab tags issued here.
District traffic officials said they
are in favor of the proposal by
Senator Buck. They said they con-
sidered it hazardous for a man to
drive cab after he is fatigued by
working at another occupation for
eight hours.
There now is no regulation in the
traffic code to prevent person from
driving a cab after eight hours or
even longer work elsewhere, but
they pointed out, there is a regula-
ton against operating an ambu-
lance after the driver has worked
eight hours or more.

Pratt sentenced Griswold to serve two years in the Federal Penitentiary on each count, the sentence to be served concurrently.
 The sentence was suspended, however by Judge Pratt, at the re- quest of U. S. Attorney P. J. Gill more who said that full restitution of the amount involved had been made to the Alaska Steamship Go.

Much of yesterdays session was taken ur by the reading and amending of the lengthy measure before the l3- Il vote was taken
 The second veto of the Eigh- teenth Session was received by the House yesterday afternoon when the Governor informed it that he was unable to approve H. B. 21. In the veto message he quoted At torney General Ralph Rivers to the effect that an amendment which included professional and personal services in the bracket with service contracts spoiled an otherwise good bill This provision Rivers said, might be held to mean that the employment of doctors nurses, attorneys and teachers by the Territory would have to be done by bids.
 With a long calendar of Senate bills remaining on it's calendar, the House turned down a night session and adjourned until 10 am. today.

MONTANA TEACHERS BEGINNING To achieve
RESULTS I'm BETTER SALARY DRIVE

locals have indicated their members
will not accept positions with their
present schools which have not met
the salary schedule Members of over
a score of locals have also agreed they
will not accept employment in any
other school which has not agreed to
pay it's present teaching staff the min
imums requested by the MEA.
Negotiations concluded this week
can Federation of Teachers and the
Great Falls MEA local with the school
board there have resulted in teachers
being accorded flat 25 per cent sal
ary increase for the coming term.
This brings Great Falls schedules in
accord with the minimums demanded
by the teachers.
Reports are that the AFT locals in
Butte and Anaconda have also con-
cluded successful negotiations with
their respective locals. Similar agree
ments have been reached between the
Livingston and Bozeman boards and
the local MEA chapters. At Bozeman
it will be necessary to float an 1S-mill
levy to cover the salary increases.
Similar action appears forthcoming
in Helena with the board and the
MEA local having reached agreement
that the teachers demands are just
and necessary. Helena property own
ers will be asked to approve 22-mill
levy to bring about this much needed
salary improvement and some other
in working conditions
of teachers. Estimates are this levy
will raise approximately $150,000 in
additional revenue.
