The military police who guarded
the Big Four Foreign Ministers
meetings in the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel, New York, are back in Wash
ington today on such routine as
signments as patroling Union Sta
ton and the Greyhound Bus TerIfii-
nal. s--
They are the men of Company B.
712th. Military Police Battalion. sta
toned at the Army War College.
They are still a little homesick for
New York., and all agreed that it
was cush assignment.
Their most difficult job was to
examine tactfully the passes Of For
eign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov's
shock brigade of NVKD men (se-
cret police) which preceded him.
The first time two military police
on the seventh floor asked respect
fully, Passes, sir" they were swept
the full length of the corridor. But
they saw the passes. The next day
they fortified their positions with
two heavy desks and held it.
A "palpitant" experience, T/5 Ed
mund Gotz called it.
"Mr. Molotov would come rushing
into the hotel with a squad Of the
NKVD men blocking for him." said
Gotz. "A mob of Frank Sinatra's
bobby-s fans would be waiting in
the hotel lobby for frankie to come
out after his show in the Wedge
wood room. Bobby-soxers and
NKVD men would get all scrambled
up. It was circus"
The MPs never became chummy
with the NKDV men. The latter
would insist they did not understand
the 1anguage-not evens Pass. sir?"
Then the MPs would notice some OF
them reading The New York Times
But it was something a Scotland
Yard man said that amused them
most. The MPs used to send out OF
the hotel for hot dogs when they
were hungry-and soldiers are al
most always hungry. The Scotland
Yard man asked an MP to bring
him one, too.
"And," he AIDED, don't forget the
bum"
The MPs were quartered at Gov
ernor's Island off the foot Or Man
haitian Island. Every day they would
cross on the Army's ferry boat and
come uptown on the Lexington ave-
nue. subway-for free. The city runs
the subways and does not collect
the nickel from men and women in
uniform. The MPs are all for the
Capital Transit Co. adopting that
policy. They stood three eight-hour
watches day and brought Army
rations with them for n1id-trick
meals. But on Thanksgiving day
they all had a Waldorf dinner.
They guarded the conference from
November IL until its end. They got
to know all the big shots by sight,
including American Ambassadors,
and would pass them through with
out challenge. They attended to
burning the contents Of the top
secret waste paper baskets. They
guarded the then Secretary of State
Byrnes' quarters on the. seventh
|door and Foreign Minister Bevin's
quarters on the sixth floor. The
Russian delegation stayed at Glen
Cove Gong Island estate. The MPs
observed all that was going on and
listened in on the babel of strange
Languages.
The compauy was under the COM

edged out Yellowstone for show
ing the greatest percentage in

Don't Use Gun To
Solve Glaciers
Elk Problem

Glacier national park has an elk
overpopulation problem that the
hunters can't help.
The park has an estimated 1928
elk, and range enough for about
1000 of the big animals. AS a re-
suit, commented A D Cannavina,
assistant chief ranger of forestry
and wildlife, the elk are doing q
thorough job during the winter OF
eating nearly everything in reach
of the white tail deer.
Studying the elk overpopu1a-
ton problem in the park this week
were Victor Cahalane, national
park service chief biologist, with
Glaciers chief ranger, Elmer Flad-
mark, and Cannavina.
One solution is longer open
season along other boundaries of
the park such as is in effect on the
Middle Fork until December 81.
Park officials are inviting helpful
suggestions from sportsmen and
outdoor organizations.
Federal law, however, prevents
hunting animals in any of the ma
tional parks. The fine is as high
as $500, and the Jail sentence as
long as six months. There is also
that in order for the
national parks to preserve the var
ious species of animals in their
natural environment, there be no
hunting in the parks.

Flathead's 1900 Potato
Acres Show Yield Down

Flathead county potato yield
are down this fall. The county's
1000 acres of potatoes, apparently
the result of unusual heavy rain
during the summer, show some hol-
low heart affliction. Tons per acre
is generally somewhat less than
last year. The yield range is from
21b to 16 tons per acre.
Of the county's 1900 acres, $50
are given to the growing of seed
potatoes. Carefulness of growers
and usually favorable conditions
result in the Flathead seed potato
being of top quality, in demand
for its disease free characteristics
in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
California.

Hunters Cautioned
That Surveyor
Deer Differ
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

Something moving in the brush
along the lower South Fork is more
apt to be a surveyor on the Hun
cry Horse project than a deer.
Project officials mindful of
the general hunting season start
ing Wednesday caution hunters to
remember that about 400 men are
working between highway No 2
and Hungry Horse creek.
It's ordinarily good deer coun-
try, but now in place of deer there
are men surveying and clearing the
new Spotted Bear road at the head
waters of Emory creek to River
side creek. Loggers are falling
timber from the damsite to Hun
cry Horse creek; test pit crews
are digging on both sides of the
South Fork in this same area, and
even more men are working along
the access highway and in govern
ment camp.

With the increase largely a re-

the population of the Columbia

lilies on rural routes out of Column
bia Falls.
At Coram, Postmistress Arvilla
Reed has 100 bores and 80 on gen.
eral delivery rejecting a so per
cent increase in population. Two
miles from Coram, the new town
of Martin City had a post office
established March 16, 1947. Clara
Frederick has ITO boxes and SO

Postmistress Helen Glib at Bel
ton reports less change as result

Bolton has 176 boxes, and its big
rush is during the summer. Car
rier Earl Ryan makes the North
Fork run from Bolton to Trail
Creek twice a week for about 35
families, a figure doubled during
the summer.
Confirming the post office sta
tistics that show population of the
area as doubled are school enroll
ments. In Columbia Falls alone, the
grade school now has $40 pupils
rejecting a nearly doubled school
for district since 1910.
