Sharp Decrease
In Duck Stamp
Sales Thus Far

Up to Tuesday 12O duck stamps
had been sold by the Browning
postofice, according to Post
master Tellifero. Hunters began
their purchasing a day or so be-
fore the opening of the duck sea-
son, October 81.
The number of stamps thus far
sold is approximately one-half of
the average each season. How
ever, Tellifero does not believe
that many more stamps will be
sold this season. Aside from the
sale of the 1916 seas
when early and prolonged winter
prevented duck and geese hunt
ing to any extent, most of the
duck stamps have usually been
sold during the first 10 days.
The decrease in this seasons
sales, in the light of stiff punish.
ment that is to be meted out tc
hunters failing to procure stamps,
cannot be reasonably attributed
to ignoring of the federal require
ment. Rather, it is that there are
less duck hunters so far.
From reports most hunters
have had no difficulty getting
their daily bag Of four ducks. II
plentitude continues there may
be a sud d e n increase of new
hunters to bring this seasons
local duck stamp sales up to tn,
average seasons $50.

In Charge Of
Plains Museum

Succeeding DR.. John C. Ewers
as curator of the Museum of the
Plains Indian, DR.. Claude Schaef-
fer has been on duty since early

Institution where he was assign
ed to duty in the anthropological
division.
Mr.. Schaeffer, a native of Ohio,
was graduated from the Univer-

of the Plains Indian as one of the
outstanding institutions devoted
to western American anthro-
pology.

Are NQbbed

For killing two swan in the
vicinity of V a Ter October %,
c. c. Forester of Cut Bank paid
a fine of $500 when taken before
Judge R. E. Richey of Waller. He
was picked up by Wardens Don
aid Wright and Bill Darlington.
Forester said he mistook the
waterfowl for geese.
The previous day the wardens
picked up Frank Wesley of Brady
for hunting waterfowl without
federal duck stamps. Duck
stamps cost one dollar and are
always available at postoffices.
Immediately previous to the open
ing Of the season each year, con-
spicuous placards in postoffices
call attention of hunters to the
duck stamp requirement.
Also the previous day Oran
Hoffman of Brady was picked up
for shooting ducks half hour
after the federal closing hour
that day.
For the benefit of local duck
and geese hunters the Browning
Chief carried the opening and
closing hours of the season rec
emily. The Chief assumes that
seasoned hunters are familiar

NLRB To Throw Out Many Cases

WASHINGTON, (P) - The na- tional labor relations board paved the way toay for throwing out scores or even hundreds of bar gaining election cases involving unions whose officers won't, take the Taft-Hartley non-Communist oath.
 On the heels of decision to dis miss three petitions by unions of John l.. Lewis, CIO president Philip Murray and the CIO furni- ture workers, the board began sitting some 1900 other cases with a view to similar action where ap- propriate.
 Just'how any of these were filed by unions which did not comply with the non-Communist provi- sion will not be known until the board reaches the bottom of pile of affidavits dumped in just be- fore the deadline last Friday mid night.
 As matter of policy, the board said in dismissing the first three cases yesterday, it has to assume that the Taft-Hartley act is con- stitutional until the courts say otherwise.
 Murray's steelworkers, who filed one of these cases and have 21 others pending, had asked the board to hold up until their law yers could argue the point.

u. $. Accuses Russia Of Failure To Cooperate

SLING TON, (P) - The United States, in a new foreign policy statement, bluntly accused Russia of failing to cooperate in efforts to establish peace
 The document, which sets forth this nations position on postwar problems, declares:
 1.-Russia is to blame for fail ure of the United Nations "to grasp the fruits of peace and vic tory"
 2.-The Soviets have failed to make good on wartime commit ments for the demilitarization and reconstruction of Germany.
 The U.S.S.R. is mainly interest ed in getting maximum repara- tions" from Germany and in set ting up German political regime friendly" to the Soviet.
 These and similar charges, most of them previously aired by gov ernment leaders, are summed up in a statement entitled Aspects of current American foreign pol icy" issued Monday. Fifty thou sand copies are being prepared for public, distribution.
 "A basic aim of the United States" the report says, "is to press for the necessary treaty set dement's which will permit with drawal of occupation troops from Germany, Austria, Korea and Japan and enable all nations of the world to return as soon as pos sble to a peacetime basis"

U. $. May Give Part Of Gold Supply To Needy Europe

WASHINGTON, (P)-A propos- al to ship some of AmeIfca's huge gold hoard to Europe in connec- ton with the Marshall recovery plan is receiving serious consider ation from top administration off cialS.
 If finally approved by the White House it probably will be present ed to the special session of Con gress November IT as part of sec retary of state Marshall's program of helping Europe help itself back to economic health. This program now is being put in concrete form by state, treasury and commerce department authorities for consid- eration by President Truman next weekend.
 The essence of the gold proposal as described by officials familiar with it is this:
 The administration would sak Congress to authorize a European stabilization fund of about S3,000,- 000,000 to be administered by the treasury. This would be an addi- ton to the $6,OOO,OOO to $7,OOO,O O,OOO,0OO in gifts and loans which probably will be recom- mended to feed Europe and revive tagging production

Former Governor John C. Winant
 Commits Suicide

CONCORD, N. H. (P)-John G. Winant, 58, former ambassador to the Court of St. James, committed suicide Monday night by shooting himself in the head with a bullet fired from .32 calibre Belgium pistol.
 His private secretary, J. Der nard Teulon, said in statement issued early yesterday that the death weapon was one of two pis tolS found in the bedroom where his body was discovered. The other, a .32 German Luger, appar- ently had been thrown against the wall when he couldn't find ammu- milton.
 Teulon said that Winant had not been in good health since the sum mer, but that he had continued work on his memoirs, even com pleting a section of the second vol ume Monday.
 He ate lunch downstairs, but had dinner served in his room. No one saw him after dinner. Teulon said he died at 8:20 pm, about an hour after the diplomat had fired the fatal shot into his head. He did not regain consciousness, pass ing away while his personal physi- clan, pr. James w. Jameson was administering to him.
 Mrs. Winant, who was notified in New York of his death, arrived at Concord airport in a state of collapse in a chartered plane early yesterday. She went immediately to the family home.
 Medical referee Clarence E. But terfield pronounced Winant sui eide and said he had shot himself while alone in a bedroom of one of his sons "A single shot had been fired from the Belgium weapon.

Freight Rates Are "WOlf At The Door Of Alaska"

SEATTLE, CP)-George Sund- borg of the Alaska Development Board, testifying against interim agreement shipping rates, yester day likened steamship freight tar ifs to "a wolf at the door of Alas ka, taking a bite out of everything going in or coming out"
 Sundborg was the Territory's principal witness yesterday as the maritime commission completed the eighth day of it's rate investi- gation here.
 The inquiry is expected to be concluded today. One of the com mission examiners, C. w. Robin son, left for another hearing in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, leaving Robert Furness to wind up the Alaska case.
 It is scheduled to resume at 9 am. in the customs court room at the federal office building.
 Sundborg led through his teSti- mony by Alaska's attorney gen eral, Ralph J. Rivers, made a lengthy series of charges purport- ing to show that high rates" are retarding Alaska's development.
 He cited what he said were ac- tual instances in which prOspec- tive new industries were "discour- aged" from starting in the Terri tory because they knew they could not succeed in view of high transportation costs"
 Sundborg said high shipping costs "tend to pyramid the cost of living in Alaska" leading some Alaska merchants to use their 'landed costs as a basis for ex- cessive price markups on vital commodities.
 At this point, Ira EWers, coun- sel for Alaska Steamship company and Northland TranspOrtat O n

Britain Swinging Away From Labor Government

LONDON, (P) - The political spotlight swung to Scotland yes terday as 69 cities and towns held municipal elections regarded by many observers as a barometer of public reaction toward the policies of Prime Minister Attlee's labor government.
 The fact that Scotland is pre- dominantly conservative, except around industrial Glasgow, led to predictions that the vote would show a continuation of the right wing trend evidenced Saturday in local elections in England and Wales.
 This swing to the right, which saw net conservative gains of 621 city council seats and net labor losses of 652 seats, was generally interpreted as a reflection of pub lie restiveness under the increas- ing austerity of life under the la ter government.
 The government, however, dem onstrated it's intention of hewing closely to the line by beating down Monday night in the House of Commons an attempt by conservl- tives and a few rebellious labor to annul a month old measure authorizing the labor to channel unemployed persons into undermanned indus tries.
 The vote was 252 to IA, with many of the 394 labor members 
 The motion to annul the mea- under recent legis- lation giving the government al- most unlimited powers D deal with Britain's economic crisis was sponsored by Laborite Rhys Davies, 70-year- old trade union leader, Davies said compulsory job placement followed "the line that the Nazis in Germany and Italy took when they were in an economic crisis"

States Elections Bring Many Party Turn-Overs
By The Associated Press


 A series of party turnoverS in mayoralty contests and Kentucky'S return to a Democratic admins tration stood out today from Tues days off-year elections.
 In Mississippi, where the cleo ton of a successor to the late Sen ator Theodore c. BilbO drew na- tional attention, the apparent win ner as counting went on today was Judge John C. StenniS.
 Stennis, 46, who didn't stress the race issue on which Bilbo always campaigned, opened a lead of 4,000 votes over the next man in a field of five Democrats.
 Veteran Congressman John E. Rankin, who had promised to out Bilbo Bilbo" if elected, was run ming last. He did not give up his House seat to run for the Senate.
 The mayoralty elections though buffeted by cross-currents of local issues, were such that both Demo- cratS and Republicans could find something to cheer about.
 Such things as this happened:
