Reports from Jackson, Missis-
sippi, had identified Mr.. Collins
as an independent" Republican.
The independent Republican group
in Mississippi is known as the
lilly whites" to distinguish it from
the regular Republican party. 1t
often addresses its campaign litera-
ture to "the white voters Of Mis-
sissippi."
Mr.. Howard told Mr.. Collins
that if he is the candidate Of
lilly white" Republicans, he
would withdraw his indOrse-
ment of his candidacy.
Mr.. Collins is one Of six candi-
dates for the Senatorial seat. The
other five are Democrats.
Reports from Jackson indicate
that Representative John E.
Rankin has the edge because of
his long advocacy of white suprem-
acy.
Rankin came to Washington
last Friday and told reporters
that he would take up where
BiIbO left of and filibuster to
death the bill to ban race and
religious discrimination in EN-
plOyment and anti-pOll tax and
anti Iynching legislation if
Mississippi elects him to fill
the vacant Senate seat.
Dragging about himself, the 65-
year-old Democrat intimated that
he can filibuster with the best Of
the Southerners. He said he expect
ed to be elected on his record,
among other things, of opposition
to fair employment practice, anti
poll tax and anti-lynching legisla-
ton.
Political observers here, however,
believe that if Rankin attempts to
continue his rantings against
colored people he may never occupy
the vacant Senate seat.
If he is not rejected by the
voters of Mississippi, he may
be turned back at the door of
the Senate, Just as BilbO was
turned back at the beginning
of the Eightieth Congress.
The Senate, by its refusal to seat
Bilbo, is on record as being opposed
to infammatory language uttered
in a campaign for the purpose Of
procuring election to the United
States Senate.
Forrest B. Jackson, attorney for
Bilbo, who also Is q candidate for
the vacant seat, Is reported to have
declared himself In full accord
with Bilbo's beliefs with the reser-
walton that he hopes to employ
better methods" than Bilbo did In

Sheridan, Traffic
Chief, To Check
"Y" Infractions

Expressing interest in the sit
uation of hazard at the No. 2-89
Higway junction near Browning,
as pointed out by the Chief in
last weeks issue, Charles L.
Sheridan, supervisor of Montana
Highway Patrol, said in a letter
to this newspaper early this
week that he was having Assist
ant Supervisor Storm investigate
complaints.
In his letter to the Chief he
said:
I'VE would be very glad if we
could station patrolmen at every
bad intersection in the state.
but, unfortunately, we have only
enough patrolmen to allot one to
about every 200 miles of high
way, and we have dozens of bad
intersections that would require
constant policing if we had the
manpower.
Aside from the summer period
when Glacier Park and coast to
coast travel is under way, with
thousands of visitors every week
meeting at the "Y" stop sign"
does not set up considerable haz-
ard.
However, if there is not the
necessary manpower to patrol
the most dangerous points, as
Sheridan explains, there is no
object in complaining. Every
motorist is on his own.

afternoon after being there for
medical care for a week, John

to find the cupboard as bare as

When he went to the hospital,
he said, he left a considerable
quantity Of provisions in the
place. They included flour, sug-
ar, coffee and potatoes.
Apparently using a skeleton
key, he said, some one took ad-
vantage of the situation and en-
tered the building, taking every
thing that was edible. They. al
so took his tobacco and pipe.
He was availed provisions to
make out his supper from a tour
list, who asked permission to set
up camp for the night near his
place. The stranger, hearing
his story, heartily shared with
him so that he did not have to go
to bed hungry.
The guilty one, he believes,
lives in the Star School vicinity.
