Gives Totdl Army
|Enlistrnents for
|Stdte, Billings Area

A total of 1907 Montana men
enlisted in the Regular Army
and Air Force during the year
1947, it was announced by Ma
ior Harold E. DalneSs of the y.
S. Army and U. S. Air Force Re
crIliting station located 2822h
1st Avt. North, Billings.
A large number of World War
II veterans are among the NUM-
Der given above. A general con-
SenuS of opinion in this group
was that their reasons for re-
turning to the service were to
obtain security for themselves
and their families, and to BEN
eft from new higher service
pay. A large number of these
men were enlisted in grades
equal to those held upon dis
charge from World War II SER
vice.
In addition to the veterans,
an increasing number of youn-
ger men are being attracted to
service in the peacetime Army
and Air: Force it was stated.
While the desire for travel and
adventure ranks high among
the reasons given by the youn-
ger men for enlisting, the chief
reason was the desire to further
their education by attendance
at one of the many Army or
Air Force technical training
schools.
Major .Dalness, emphasized
that most of the benefits which
attracted men to the service
during 1947 are still available to
the man who enlists today.
A breakdown of the total
Army and Air Force enliStments
in Montana for 1947 reveals
that 1876 men were enlisted in
the Billings area, which includes
Red Lodge, Laurel, Columbus
Hardin, Harlowton, Roundup
and LeWistoWn.

the opportunity to utilize their

provide them with an interest
in activities other than hospital

It also furnishes mental sti-

patients with an academic or

The courses are available to

scene of "protracted festivities"
There was horse-racing, fox-hunt-
ing, cock batting, dancing and many
other fashionable amusements."
Bell says '"The General (Sprigg)
and his son who succeeded him,
dispensed a lavish hospitality" The
circle of intimate friends who were
often at Paradise included the
families of Major Ignatius Taylor,
Thomas Belt, Thomas Hall, Charles
Carroll of Belvue, and many others
from farther away. The elite of
Washington County were entertain
ed here, and visits were exchanged
with families of wealth and prom
inence throughout southern Mary
land and neighboring States.
The builder and long time owner
and host of Sprigg's Paradise was
the General Thomas Sprigg, men
toned and described several times
before in these columns. At one
time he was our representative in
the United States Congress, and at
another time he was the hero of the
occasion, when he tried to suppress
an angry mob that had erected a
liberty pole in Hagerstown.
But the time came when the
Spriggs disappeared from the scene
and the old estate was first divided
among the three children of the
General. After this, at least part
of the estate, including the mansion,
was sold to the Cresslers. Several
generations of Cresslers lived here,
until son who had gone to Chicago
as a druggist, came back to live in
the old mansion, and became the
last of the Cresslers. This was with
in the memory of one of my inform
andts, Amos Showalter, who moved
onto a farm near by, originally a
part of Sprigg's Paradise, in 1892.
He recalled that in those days he
saw in the woods back of the house
a large cleared place where tour
naments were held. He said that
they had an old iron man that serv-
ed as a target for the tournament
practice, and that in the years pre-
ceeding the fire, the iron man stood
in the yard before the old mansion.
He told me too, that the old mansion
was built from brick brought here
from England.
1t was during the days of the Cres-
Ter son who returned from Chicago,
that the old Spriggs Paradise man
sion saw its last glorious days. The
last son thoroughly moderniZed the
old house. He spent great sums of
money on the old place and on one
occasion was asked by neighbor
why he did it. Said the neighbor:
"One of these dayes some one will
come along and take away your two
daughters (his only children) and
then after you ar egone, what will
become of this?" 1t was indeed a
worry to the aging man, for he
was i'll At any rate, he fixed up
his affairs in such way--as one
man told me-that nothing could
be done with the estate for fifty
years AS a result, the old estate
began to grow in weeds and thick
cts, and just lay there after the fire,
vacant. Today, back of the site on
which the home stood, may be seen
thickets that once were clean mead
ows.
Some of the neighbors report that
one of the daughters visited the old
home site recently, but the history
of this once gay and historically
important old estate and mansion of
Sprigg's Paradise, ended with the
tragic fire.

Hog Wild Jury Sentenced
Trio 10 Die, Attorney Says
BY The Associated Press

AMERICUS, Ga, Mar. 26.-For a
mother and her two young sons,
life today depended on whether a
Judge agreed with the defense that
a jury went "hog wild" in sentenc-
ing them to death.
Defense Attorney Hawkins Dykes

jury went "hog wild" in pleading
that Rosa Lee Ingram, colored, and
her two sons, Wallace, 16, and
sammie Lee, IA, be granted new
trials.

lnal trial was held at Ellaville, the
three defendants remained in the
Sumter County Jail. Judge Harper
said he would take the plea for a
new trial under advisement.
The prosecution countered Mr..
Dykes argument by saying that Mr..
Stratford's death was murder and
that the State Constitution guar
anteed only one fair trial.
Solicitor General E. L. Forester

his death he was attempting to

Rent Control Extension
For One Year Awaits
Truman S Signature
BY ths Assoeicsed Press

President Truman In the next few
days is expected to. sign the rent
control bill which reached his desk
yesterday afternoon. The measure
extends for a year the controls
which otherwise would expire next
Thursday and gives Federal court
final say on lifting ceilings.
A voice vote in the Senate COM
pleted congressional action on the
bill. 1t had been adopted by the
House earlier yesterday by a 220-to-
95 vote. The measure affects about
1000, 900 Americans who live in
100000 dwelling places under
Federal control.
The bill adopted represents a
compromise between Senate and
House.
Federal Court to Decide.
The House wanted local rent
boards, appointed by State Gov
ernors, to have complete authority
to sanction rent increases or re-
move ceilings altogether.
The Senate insisted that the
housing expediter in Washington
continue to exercise veto power over
local boards recommendations.
Under the compromise, an emer-
gency Federal Court would make
the final decision. But the court
would be obligated to uphold a 10
cal boards recommendations if they
were based on adequate and sub
stantial evidence"
The court would review all cases
where the housing expediter and =
local board disagreed.
Rent Increases Sanctioned.
Here are other principal features
of the compromise bill:
Rent increases of up to IS per
cent would be sanctioned when a
landlord and tenant could agree on
lease running through 1949. How
ever, tenants who signed up last
year for one such voluntary" in
crease could not be charged an
other. Their present rent rates
would be frozen through the life of
the law-until March 81. 1949.
All hotel accommodations would
be decontroIled. So would nom
housekeeping rooms in private
homes If there were no more than
two paying guests in the house.
Controls would be lifted from
housing accommodations covered by
leases which were terminated be-
tween January /, 1948, and the ef-
fective date of the new act.
Eviction Rights Set Out.
Tenants could be evicted on Co.
day notice in cases where the land
lord wanted the quarters for the
personal use of member of his
family, or planned substantial al
terations or demolition of the ac-
commodations, or decided to with
draw the quarters from the rental
market.
Sixty-day eviction notices would
be required except for nonpayment
of rent or where the tenant has
become nuisance. Local laws
would govern eviction in such
instances.
The bill would remove an existing
requirement that special permits be
obtained for the construction of
amusement and recreational facil-
tiles. such as race tracks and night
clubs.
