Michel Murder Trial
In Federal Court

Trial of James Michel in the
federal district court at Butte is
scheduled for this week, the de-
PENDANT being charged with the
murder of h is wife, Sarah, at
their home in Browning the fore
part of July.
Witnesses called to testify in
clude DR.. Barron, medical staff
member at the local hospital, who
helped to perform an autopsy up
on the body, and County Coroner
Beck, who was at the murder
scene to investigate the crime.
FBI Agent Leonard Fopp of
the Great Falls Office had charge
of the investigation.
1t was understood from those
concerned with the investigation
that the crime was one of the
most morbid in state annals, a
similar one being committed in
the Flathead area last year. In
both crimes the authors sought
to conceal evidence of murder by
means of a knife, which was used
as to fatally mutilate internal Or
gans.

From P. r. r., Washington
After number of suggested,
but unsuccessful, solutions with
our first born. asked our doctor,
who had large family, what was
done in this regard for his chill
dren. I don't know what plan
could be more effective or more
simple. We used it repeatedly to
relieve our minds about getting up
to cover, and I have tried to pass
the idea along to other mothers.
You can vary weight of blanket
as weather requires and can re-
verse the crossing bulk, depending
whether child sleeps on stomach
or back.
Pull one corner of blanket over
each shoulder, fasten with safety

free for movement and chest COM

another pin about knee-doWn and
with sleeper cladfeet. which could
also be free. baby looks like the
proverbial bug in a rug" If he

ours did, he was still protected.
Don't restrict movement by tight

to maintain your tubular style,
you could put a pull-over sweater
atop.

Economy Bloc 10 Use
Truman Tax Plea 10
Force Spending Cuts
BY the Assoeietsd Press

Economy advocates are plan
ming to use President Truman's
call for higher taxes as an open
ing wedge In a drive for sharp
cuts by Congress in the Federal
Governments spending program.
AS part Of this plan. they are
expected to develop testimony be-
fore the House Ways and Means
Committee next year intended to
show that it will require steep
increases in individual and busi-
ness tax rates to take care of
heavy deficit which may develop
in the year beginning next July /.
The technique. as disclosed by
interested lawmakers, is to attempt
to shock the public into demand
ing spending cuts.
Mr.. Truman made clear last
Thursday he regards a tax boost
as a necessity in halting deficit
spending, which he deplored.
Specific Suggestions Lacking.
His remarks prompted immedi-
ate demands. in Congress for
spending cuts first. Specific sug-
gestions for reductions were lack
ing in the first wave Of reaction.
however.
Although the Senate Finance
Committee will not take UP the
tax question unless or until the
House acts, Chairman George told
a reporter before he left Wash
ington for the congressional vaca-
ton he thinks it would be a good
idea to have the issue aired.
T think 1t will be interesting
for the people to learn how much
more they are going to have to
pay in taxes if spending is con-
tinued unchecked" Senator George
said.
Deficit Is Certain.
Senator Byrd. Democrat, Of
Virginia, a Finance Committee
member who has been talking
cuts for q long time, told a re-
porter he thinks individuals and
corporations will be surprised
when they find out how much
rates would have to be boosted
to take care OF $4,000. .000, ZOO in
red ink spending which he has
predicted for the year starting
next July /.
The fact of a deficit for the
present fiscal year is accepted.
Estimates range around $5.O00.-
000, 600.
Senator Byrd said some levies
might have to be pushed up so
per cent, because of the diminish
ing rate of receipts when taxes
are raised.
Any such steep increase, lie
! said. would be certain to prove
a blow to business activity at a
time when the economic future is
not certain.
Budget Plans Indefinite.

clear indication yet how large a

the hard toll effected a miracle.
