Demands Thorough Mu Isl igation

It could have meant that Mr.. Rhodes
was planning to buy a ticket Che had
som money! for a flight just as easily
as it could have been construed as a
declaration of intentions to steal an air
plane. He did not know how to fly.
Sheriff F. D. Dalton, of Henderson
county, says that it was possible that
Mr.. Rhodes was going to purchase a
ticket and, being a stranger, did not
know that the office was closed.
Now that the first furry of excite
ment is over, Sheriff Dalton says the
Waterman cannot remember having
heard the youth say he was going to
HlsteaI' a plane. Yet, earlier police re-
ports described the case as "a bizarre
attempt" to illegally make away with
one of the craft in the hangar.
Then, it is hard to believe that an
airplane chock is a lethal weapon in the
hands of a 16-year-old boy.
Why didn't Mr.. Cation fire a warn
ing shot? It must have been quite evil
dent to him that the boy wasn't armed.
Couldn't he have stopped him without
pointing and firing to such a vital spot
as his chest? Why didn't he aim for his
legs, the usual place to shoot to bring
down a man? Weren't there other
means by which the y%oungster could
have been halted without such hasty
and extreme action?
From the preliminary reports, the
fatality appears to be another of those
unfortunate instances where someone
had a split-second trigger reaction. And,
according to Sheriff Dalton, the night
Waterman was not qualified to carry
a gun. He was not an officer. In fact,
the Henderson sheriff informed the
Asheville police chief two months ago
that persons serving as such at the
airport had not been deputized and had
no legal standing in Henderson equity
(the field is within the jurisdiction of
that county and not in Buncombe.)
Sheriff Dalton said no action was taken
on his complaint.
Nothing can be done to alleviate the
sorrow of this tragedy but it is gratify-
ing to know that Henderson authorities
intend to make as thorough an investi-
cation as possible. The District Solicitor
has stepped in and says he will be pres
ent at the hearing when the Recorder
sits as a committing magistrate. The
family Of the youth is. certainly entitled
to an exhaustive probe of the Staying.
And, unless new evidence is uncovered,
it now appears that the outcome may
offer an example of unwise use of fire
arms that should be a lesson to others
in similar situations.

The Gallup Poll
Only Is Per Cent OF Those
Who've Heard OF Law
See Fewer Strikes
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Aug.
- American voters have
mixed feelings about wheth-
er the Taft = Hartley act
should have been passed, and
they are not at all sure that
it will result in fewer strikes.
In fact, the weight of sentiment
among those who have heard or
read about the act is that it will
either have no effect on the num-
Der of strikes or will actually lead
to more.
A series of surveys by the In
stitute reported during the last
two days has shown that union
leaders were successful in their
efforts to make the public think
that the Taft-Hartley Act is a
dangerous, harmful and unwork-
able law. Many voters expressed
themselves opposed to the Act al
though analysis reveals that people
who knew most about the pro-
visions were the most likely to ap-
prove it and visa versa. Apparent
ly many voters formed their
opinions on the basis of what labor
leaders and President Truman
had said concerning the act, rather
than what they themselves knew it
to provide.
The public's views on whether
the act will effectively reduce
strikes were sounded as follows
by the Institute:
"As a result of this law, do you
think there will be more strikes
during the next three years, or
feWer?"
The vote of all who have heard
Or read about the act (six out of
ten persons polled) is:
More strikes 24%

law should be revised, repealed or
left unchanged?"

are covered by the Taft-Hartley
law.
In brief the present state of
public opinion on the act, as
shown in the Institutes surveys,
is as follows:
Voters are poorly informed
about the specific provisions of
the act. Nearly four in every ten
say they have not heard or read
about it at all.
2-Among those who have heard
Of it, the weight of opinion is
against the act and in favor of
revising of repeating it. How
ever, so many of its individual
provisions are separately popular,
that attempts to revise them might
run into considerable opposition
from the public.
3-As shown in today's vote the
public has no clear impression that
the legislation will effectively re-
duce strikes.
The findings in detail are as
follows:
"Have you heard or read about
the Taft-Hartley law which deals
with labor unions?"
Yes

Children Facing
Danger Coasting
Near Highway

Parents are prevailed upon to
cooperate with authorities in
minimizing the hazard of acct
dents and even fatalities facing
children, who are tempted to use
hills and inclines in the vicinity
of Highway No. 2 through
Browning for coasting,
In several sections of town
during the last few days they
have been coasting down hills
and across the highway with dis
regard of the possibility of the
approach of cars.
Annually there is a lamentable
accident and death toll of child
rem playing under such circum-
stances in various parts of the
country.
Police Chief Clark is doing his
level best to discourage children
in coasting in dangerous areas.
For full success, he said, he
must have the cooperation of
parents.

10000 Jobs Available
Monthly In Army

AS its contribution to the ma
tional need for full employment
in 1947 the new Regular Army
will make available 10000 good
jobs every month, according to
Col. M. L. McCreary, chief of
recruiting of the Sixth Army
Area.
The announcement was direct
ed especially to recent high school
graduates who bave been advised
by University and College heads
to delay entrance into college
due to present coalitions on the
campus.
The high school gradute who
goes directly. to college today
finds himself faced with crowded
conditions both as to housing
and in the classroom, Col. Nc
Creary said. Teen-agers a r e
forced to compete with mature
veterans who are proving out
standing students and virtually
dominate athletic activities, he
pointed out.
Service in the new United
States army develops latent cap
abilities and affords opportun-
ity for youth to obtain self-disci-
pline and the maturity of mind
and body which create the self
confidence so essential for CON-
petition in this highly technical
age, he pointed out.
The 10000 jobs being made
available monthly will encompass
hundreds of different trades and
will guarantee financial security
during the uncertain postwar re-
adjustment period, he pointed
out.

This would make a total of 20

Fee Simple Patent
Land Controversy
In Federal Court

The case of United States for
Florence S. Hall against Glacier
county, F. E. Manley and Brian
Connolly was tried in the federal
district court at Great Falls re-
Gently.
The issue in this case is wheth-
err or not the United States can
partially cancel fee simple pat
ents to Indian land after the
Indian has conveyed part of the
land but not all of it.
Mrs. Hall conveyed 80 acres of
her allotment and the United
States seeks to cancel the patent
insofar as it affects the remain
der of the allotment.
After the date of the fee SIM
pie patent and after the date of
the sale of the 80 acres, Glacier
county taxed the land, and after
the taxes were delinquent for
about seven years a tax d e G d
was issued to Glacier county.
Portions of the land were SUBJ
sequently sold to Brian Connolly
and F. E. Marley by the county.
The fee simple patent was issued
to Mrs. Hall without formal ap-
plication on her part.
Taxes were first assessed in the
year 1919. Mrs. Hall paid these
taxes voluntarily and she volun-
tarily declared the land for ass
essment in at least one year.
Emmett Angland of Butte re-
presented the United States and
Louis P. Donovan, John J.
Greene and Wilbur Z. Werner
represented Glacier county,
Lloyd A. Murrills represented F.
E. Manley.
Ten years ago the Uni t e d
States prosecuted another action
against Glacier county and succ-
essfully cancelled patents and tax
deeds to q Indian allotments.
The decision in the earlier case
followed several prior decisions
of the Ninth circuit court of ap-
peals. However. t h e decision
made in 1886 and the other de-
cisions of the Ninth circuit court
of appeals did not involve any
questions of the effect of con-
veyances of part of the allot-
ment by the Indian owner.

School Education in Marriage
Divides Youths in Broadcast

A group Of high school students
with strong opinions on what makes
for welded bliss aired their views
last night during radio debate
on the question Should Our Pub
lie Schools Educate for Marriage
and Family Relations?"
The uncompromising convictions
with which each side stood by its
/ beliefs also were shared by an audi
ence in the Interior Department
auditorium during the broadcast OF
americas Town Meeting Of the
Air" over WMAL and 225 other
stations of the American Broad
casting Co.
Miss Eulalie Harrison, 1701 Six
teenth street NV, Central High
School student and District repre-
sentative on the program, summed
up the negative side this way:
There are some things which
can be taught best in the home,
others can be taught best in the
schools, and still others in the
churches, and I don't believe that
this type of education should be
taught in the already over-crowded
curriculum of the school"
Subject for Expert.
She contended most youngsters
know at least the basic facts OF
life before they enter high school
anyway.
AND just who is going to teach
the course?" She challenged. only
an expert could handle such a
delicate subject
Beside, she held, it would be i'm
possible to teach anything more
than the most elementary and
innocuous facts because religions
differ so vastly IN their doctrines
regarding such subjects as divorce
and birth control.
Stifest opposition to her views
came from Miss Vivian Max, OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, who took the af-
hrmative. Contending that prepara-
ton for marriage today is essential
| for all young people, she said:
"The school is one of the powerful
builders of an individuals life and
has vital part to play in preparing
him for the great human adventure
of love and marriage. The school
can present marriage in clean,
objective way
But in insisting it would be a good
idea to educate future parents as well
as present parents in augmenting
scholastic marital education, she
touched off general argument.
Long Training Foreseen.
''It will take so long to train the
parents we will be parents before
they're through" retorted Miss Har-
rison before things finally quleted
down.
Her views were supported by Don
Hays, of Portland, Ore, who stressed
that education for marriage does not
come from a textbook. He main
tanned the schools can never take
the place of the home but would
have to act only in a supplementary
manner.
Immediate disagreement came
from Miss Caroline Arden, of High
Point, N. G.
do you really think" she said
that the average American parent
is capable of presenting a clear
comprehensive analysis Of the emo
tional aspects of the marital rcla-
tionship? Our parents have failed
us as theirs have failed them. 1t

Henry Mannix, president of the Ma
tional Council of Catholic Women.
who declared that marriage and
parenthood constitute career more
important to the Nation than many
of those which are now the schools
concern.
George v. Denny, jr., president of
Town Hall and moderator of the
program, conducted the broadcast.
Also participating were Miss Ann
