fortunate recipient of the prize
acknowledged it in a few well
chosen remarks which added to the
pleasure of the already highly
pleased audience. The 81 900 check
was presented to Mrs. Downing by
Ernie Wood from the department.
A final note regarding the base
ball tournament viii be of interest
TO all who saw the games. Many
viii be surprised TO learn that the
quality Of teams competing was
such that three big league scouts
were present, including Glenn
Wright, western representative of
the Boston Red Sox. Scouts were
also present from the Cincinnati
Reds and New York Giants.
In conclusion it is fitting TO again
mention the fine work of Chairman
Lloyd Midyett and the Fair Board
and committees. The group worked
tremendously and faithfully to
make the Labor Day event a sue
cess It should be added that only
such leadership and whole hearted
enthusiasm as was given by Mr..
Midyett could inspire a group to
give so literally of their time and
ability.

Much favorable comment has
been heard regarding the Monday
evening program which was work
ed up and presented by Harold
Gompf, Leo and Charles Trow-
bridge and Gunnar Larson. Each
number on the program was worthy
of individual comment if space per-
mitted The work of this COM
mittee was outstanding and showed
plenty of ability in organizing home
talent shows. The committee was
well backed in its efforts by the
work of the talent it chose. Es-
pecial mention should be made of
the orchestra which played through
out the evening under the direction
of Francis Items. Andy Gompf.
trumpet Soloist was featured
throughout the program The or
chestra also offered a popular from
bone duet by the director and
Everett Noel. In discussing the
orchestra, the "hill-billy" band con-
sisiting of the Trowbride Bros. and
Fritz Vignali also made a hit, as
did Vignali and Charles Trow-
bridge in the accordion-m monkey
act. Fritz and his outstanding work
with the characterization have long
been a favorite with local celebra-
ton audiences.
Judy and Dick Riddle appeared
in several highly appreciated vocal
solos. Darlene Olson was featured
in popular numbers throughout the
program, appearing in one duet
with Leo Trowbridge. Eta
Mae Garren also gave a pleasing
vocal selection.
Mary Maurer and her dancers
scored hit, picking up one of the
programs most generous hands.
Mary also did a solo dance num-
Der which was equally well re-
ceived. The male quartet, consist
ing of Burton Baker, Jim Maurer,

Discusses Campaign
Against Speeding

A stopping car can kill as
quickly as a speeding car.
This was pointed out today
by Supervisor E. H. England in
a discussion of Montana's July
campaign against excessive
speed.
ITO the family of the person
killed, its no consolation that
the driver was trying to STOP"
Supervisor England said. "Yet,
while travelling at so miles an
hour a motorist driving with
good brakes needs about 1875
feet-from 10 to IA car lengths
to stop. In that 185 feet he is
practically helpless. He sits
there, perhaps trying to dodge
or swerve, but other than that
powerless."
Spurred by the knowledge
that one out of every three
traffic deaths involve excessive
speed, the Montana Highway
Patrol has joined with the Ma
tional Safety Council in its
campaign for greater driver re-
s%ponsibility.
4"The purpose of this program
on speed control" Supervisor
England said, "is to convince
all drivers of the truth of the

TOKYOROSE:
Sitting Pretty

Whatever had been her effect in
bringing death 10 American CTS
in the South Pacific, there was to
be no death penalty for Mrs. Iva
D'Aquino-known to the world as
Tokyo Rose.
SHE was on trial in San Francis
CO on a charge of treason because
the government of the United States
contends she broadcasted for the
Japanese in the hope to democrat
ize and discourage allied military
men and to impair the ability OF
the United States to wage wal
against its enemies"
In a manner of speaking, Tokyo
Rose was sitting pretty. The gov
eminent prosecutors said they
would not ask for the death pen.
atty, SO all the woman faced was
Imprisonment and fine or possibly
both.
A newspaper story Of her ar
raignment said she wore a tail
ored gray mixed plaid suit with
gilded buttons. Her freshly sham.
pooed hair was topped with a gold
beret. She sat demurely at her at.
torney's elbow as If she were his
secretary"
ALL throughout the war there
were mixed claims about her in.
fuence on CT morale. Many service.
men declared they got a kick out
of her Enthusiastically for
laughs" while others blamed her
for widespread decentralization
among the Allied personnel.
+. In view of the Judy Coplon con-
viction- on a charge of treason in
connection with the Russian gov
eminent, things might 60 hard
with Tokyo Rose in the length-of-
term department; but with the
specter of death removed as pun
ishment for a crime for which death
might well have been expected, the
blow couldn't be too severe.

CORN.
Reaching Up

And the corn is as high
As an elephants eye
Those lines from a hit tune fron
the musical "Oklahomar' give al
indicauon of the jubiiation IN Inc
corn country when the stalks are
high, and more than a hint Of the
crops Importance.
THE federal government also is
acutely conscious of the Importance
of the corn crop to the nations
economy-so when it was reported
that this years corn crop was
reaching for the skies, there was
general rejoicing.
It is traditional with the men who
grow III that if the stalks are
knee high by the Fourth of July"
an excellent crop is in prospect. But
this year, if that adage were true,
the abundance of the crop would
be amazing. For by July Fourth,
the corn stood not just knee high"
but almost, shoulder high. From all
sections of the major corn belt
extending from Ohio westward to
Nebraska-the word was the same:
the corn crop was off to an excel
lent start. !
GRAIN experts considered it pos
sible that last years fabulous crop
of three billion, $50 million bushel
might be topped by the 1949 crop.
Last years crop had much to do
with cracking the postwar agricul-
tural price initiation and is believed
by many to have played a key part
in keeping Thomas E. Dewey out Of
the White House.
While prospects were considered
splendid, the cautious were knock
ing on wood for two reasons. These
were that Iowa and Illinois both
have extensive corn-borer infesta-
ton, and subsoil moisture was de-
ficient in some areas, making the
/ crop more dependant than usual on
good rains in July and August.

Ex-Prisoner Of Nazis
On Trial in Morocco
For Killing Countess
BY the Asseei1ied Press

TANG1ER, Morocco, Mar. 49,
A former inmate of a Nazi concen-
tration camp is on trial in this
international settlement for the
murder of 'the mystery woman OF
the Middle East"
She was Magma d'Andurain, So
year -old French countess, long q
glamorous figure in tales of Med
iterranean intrigue. She disap-
peared from her yacht anchored
here last November S.
The defendant, Hans Adele, alias
Renato Oncini, a German. con-
tended the death was accidental
He said he accidentally knocked
the countess head against a bunk
during an argument aboard the
yacht. Frightened, he said, he
weighted her body and dumped IT
into the sea.
Today IA prosecution witnesses
attacked the story.
Body Never Found.
The body has never been found
and none of today's witnesses was
able to state that the countess
actually is dead.
The climax of the prosecution's S
case came when the Tangier cor
oner testified it was impossible for
the countess or any one else to
die in the manner described by
the defendant. He said the yacht
cabin was so small that the de-
fense's version was utterly i'm
possible"
Adele was arrested in Casa
blanca last December after inter-
national zone police had alerted
the French because of the coun-
tess absence from her usual
haunts here. He first gave his
version of the death to Casablanca
police, repeated it to the Tangier
magistrate and later re-enacted
the death scene on the yacht. A
woman friend of Adele, Germs
Helene Kulz, was arrested with
him.
Testimony taken yesterday dis
closed that Adele had been re-
leased from Dachau in 1941. He
had been in prison nine times in
Germany. Austria and Switzer-
land between 1885 and 1899.
Once Married to Sheik.
At one time the countess was
married to a Syrian sheik. Fol-
lowing his mysterious death, she
was condemned to be stoned to
death, but managed to flee the
country.
She later was reputed to be a
close friend of Mussolini. After
the liberation of France. she was
convicted of spying for Germany.
