States planned to build up an army of 10,000,000 men. The story was docuAenteSs bv~cQ Qafi iaantia3 memos exchanged between the President and the secretaries of war and Navy, making it obvious that the Tribune had got hold of one of the most important military secrets in tie nation.
 Ths New York Daily News and the Washington Times Herald, owned by the Tribune, published identical stories, and some mem bers of the administration urged prose cution at that time.
 The matter was dropped, how ever, and Democratic senators now believe that it would be good idea for the public to know why.
 They feel that these two cases against the Chicago Tribune are identic with the Amerasia case in which State Department secrets al- so were disclosed.

Japan,s Secret Code

The battle of Midway disclosure by the Chicago Tribune was con- sidered even more damaging to the national security. At that time Stanley Johnston wrote a story for the Tribune that the U. s. Navy knew the complete strength of the Japanese fleet in advance, and the fact that it was headed for Mid way Island. The Tribune even published the exact number of Jap ships and gave their names.
 Obviously the Navy's possession of this advance information was due to superior intelligence work In fact, it became known after the war that the Navy's amazing know ledge was because we were break ing Japan's secret code.
 This permitted the Navy to bring ships and planes from all over the Pacific two. weeks in advance of the battle and concentrate them . at Midway. The west coast of the U. s. A. was left almost unguarded.
 Had the Japs become aware of what was happening and shifted their tactics, the cities of Los An geles, San Francisco, Seattle, etc, would have been defenseless.
 But the American system of breaking Japanese codes worked Sc perfectly that the U. s. Navy knew two weeks in advance, the name of every ship in the Japanese fleet which was steaming to Midway.

Navy's eye, Johnston wrote story this, giving the complete list of Japanese ships. The Navy immediately hit the ceiling, and demanded that the Chicago Trib- une be closed. He pointed out that as a result of the Tribune's story
 the Japs were sure to change their
 code and thus we would lose one Ipf .,our ,Fpost .prics1ess wartime as-
 sets.

Result of that battle is well known. The Japs took a terrific licking and the tide of the Pacific war was turned Not so well known, however, is the manner in which the Chicago Tribune's Stan ley Johnston revealed the Navy's secret.
 Johnston had been aboard the ill-fated Lexington which sank in the battle of the Coral Sea, was taken aboard another ship which rushed north to participate in the battle of Midway While on this ship he learned that the Navy knew in advance the Japs were preparing to attack.

The following item concern
ing Mike Kuchera'S candidacy
for congressman from Monta-
mas eastern district, recently
appearing in the LeW1stoWn
Daily News, was written by
Ken Byerly:
Ten years ago Hardin's Mike
Kuchera was a junk man, pro
feSSional fighter and a groan
and grunt man. of the Wrest-
ling mats.
Today he says he won't run
for Congress -. can't afford to,
as there is no question he has
gone far. -,
But wait a minute. Don't
count the Big Horn county fur
niture and farm equipment man
out. He is weakening, and 1t
looks like somebody may throw
him in instead of out of the
political ring after all.
why should I run for Con-
gress?" Mike demands first.
Last year 7 made more mon
ey than Governor Bonner and
Congressman D'EWart together,
SO I can't afford to take a
$4,000 or $4,000 job in Wash
ington when T can stay here in
Hardin and make more money"
But with this the oft-de-
feated candidate for political
office grinS, no longer denies
he is not a candidate, and bub-
bles over with plans of what
he will do if sent to Washing
ton. A bit of prodding by the
LeWiStown Daily News, and
good-natured Mike had much
to say on the subject.
washington is no place to
live" was his final gasp in
trying to disclaim any interest
in the COP congressional pri-
mary. Hardin is the best, be-
cause I make more money here.
The Indians and I get along
well, and nobody bothers me on
the reservation"
But then his eyes frightened,
and the plans began to take
form.
Making Eastern Montana into
a new state, more rights for
women, Dragging for bashful
Treasure Staters, and making
LewistoWn the capitol of his
new state-these were a few of
his hopes.

Insurance Dividend Check Received

The first of the veterans s Service Insurance Divid e n d checks to be received in Seward came Saturday to Glenn Barber.
 Veterans will be interested to know that MT. Barber had B months of service, and his check was in the amount of $184.O0. His serial number ended in 035.
 Payment was to be made ac- cording to serial number, ac- cording to information from the Veterans Administration. The checks are being mailed at the rate of 100000 per day, each 5 day week, making total of one million each week. At this rate every veteran should have received his check by the end of 16 weeks, or the end of April.
 Barber's check had been sent to his home address in the States, dated Jan. 16, and for warded airmail to Seward. This may account for it's being somewhat earlier than other Seward veterans. whose checks will no doubt begin arriving with each weekly boat, as go- vernment mail comes that way rather than by air.
