Son Of Conan Doyle
Says He Is in Contact
With Dead Author
By Marcel WolIenstein
North American Newspaper Alliones

! PARIS, Feb. 21.-The eldest
surviving son of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle still gives some of his time
to the subject of communication
between the world of the living
and the dead. He is Denis Conan
Doyle, now in Paris on his way
home after a visit to the fabulously
rich Maharajah of Mysore in
India.
1t is believed that Conan Doyle
in company with members of the
Maharajah's court, carried out
experiments in India. He does not
talk about it. He will tell you
simply that, since his fathers
death in 1880, he has been in fire.
quent communication with the
man who is best known as the
creator of Sherlock Holmes, the
per-detective of literature.
In their last years on earth Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Oliver
Lodge, the British scientist whose
inventions helped make modern
broadcasting possible, gave their
entire time to research into condi-
tions of life after death. Each
made specific arrangements to test
the theories of the possibility of
communication with the living
before they died. A series of
seances took place, but the results,
so far as is known, were so trivial
the experiments were abandoned.
They have not been abandoned
by Denis Conan Doyle. He carries
on the experiments he began when
he worked with his father.
Denis Conan Doyle is an athlete
racing driver, golfer, shot-putter
and one of the best-known big
game hunters. On his recent visit
to India he shot a tigress which
he believes is the largest ever
killed. He has hunted water buff
falo, lions and other big game
In addition, he is a boogie-w -woogie
fan and a worker for Anglo-Amer-
lean friendship. During the war
he was lent by the British govern
ment to the United States and
worked in a secret capacity in
Washington.
Accompanying him on his jour-
ney is his wife, the former Princess
Nina Mdivani, sister of the marry
ing Mdivanis," the Georgian
brothers who married a series of
American heiresses, including Bar
bara Hutton.
Last year was spent chiefly in
the United States, where Denis
Conan Doyle is much in demand
as a lecturer. 1t is a curious fact
that the heirs of Arthur Conan
Doyle ignore the work which alone
entities the author to Immortality
They seldom talk about the thin
detective of Baker Street, London,
who in half a century has become
in the minds of thousands person
who once lived, and not a char
acter of fiction.
Americans visiting London
sometimes ask taxi drivers to show
them Sherlock Holmes house in
Baker Street, and of course, the
drivers oblige, pointing out one or
the other Of q row of dwellings.
! Letters addressed from distant
parts of the world to Holmes have
been turned over TO the Conan
Doyle family. Sometimes they
contain offers for the services of
the celebrated private detective to
solve mysteries.

Color 7eIevision Demonstration
Given for Government Officials

This will be held at FCC's labora-
tories at Laurel, Md.
FEC then will hold further
hearings on the question whether
color video is now ripe for the
general public and. If 80, what
system should be adopted.
In yesterdays demonstration
CIT used eight standard RCA re-
ceivers converted to color recep-
ton. The broadcast was over The
Stars television WMAL-TV.
Portions Of the program were
relayed to New York City and
back again over the coaxial ca
BILE, and to Baltimore and return
by micro-Wave radio relay. The
purpose was to show that this can
be done without loss Of color.
Singer Lanny Ross was the
master of ceremonies in show
featuring Hollywood and New
York talent.

Morley, the American novelist, Or
ganiZed the Baker Street Irregu-
lars, an American club devoted to
the life and work of Sherlock
Holmes. The club treats its patron
as a man who had an actual ex-
istence and the legend has gained
strength on both sides of the At
lantic In another century it may
well be forgotten that an English
doctor-trying to make a little
extra money which his Indifferent
practice did not bring in-wrote
the Sherlock Holmes stories to
rear a young family.
Later, he abandoned his crea-
ton for study of Immortality he
had already achieved. Denis
Conan Doyle, the son, would rather
talk about boogie- Woogie and big
game than the man who ran Dr..
Moriarty to earth and solved the
enthralling mystery of the Hound
of the Baskervilles.

Little Church"
Threatened Blu
Creek Near Blu

The little edifice, THE Church
OF the Little Sweet Pine" which
has thrilled the hearts of thous
ands. who have visited Glacier
National Park and picturesque
areas of the Blackfeet Reserva
ton contiguous, is threatened
by an unhappy destiny.
Built in days gone by when the
Rev. Allen Wilcox was pastor OF
the Blackfeet Methodist Indian
Mission, it has managed to escape
the ugly impulses of vandals. Yet
not entirely, for it is reported
that someone had stolen the or,
gan. Others have done damage to
the handmade pews.
Recent visitors, who love and
adore The Church of the Little
Sweet Pine" both Catholic and
Protestant, have had h eavy
hearts when observing that the
little creek near by h a washed
so deeply into the banks that the
buildings foundation is disap-
pearing.
Is it possible to do something
about it?
Browning citizens at the time
it was being built, b a C k in the
WPA days, were appealed to for
funds to assure its completion.
They graciously responded.
The other day in Cut Bank we:
told DR.. Minette about W h a t.
was facing THE Church of the.
Little Sweet Pine
BY golly, I'll get something
started. There's a lot of people in
Cut Bank who will give a lift"
he said.
We believe we went to the pro-
per source.
American millions upon mill
ions Of dollars after World War 1
went to Europe to rebuild the
war-wrecked cathedrals. 1t was
worthy cause indeed and may
be, out of this same fine impulse.
to cherish ideals of holiness and
worthiness there will be those.
who have tender hearts toward
the quaint little church, THE
Church of the Little Sweet Pine, "
and who will help to preserve it.
We shall see!

Indian Irrigation
Water Rights
May Be Doomed

Glacier County citizens at a
meeting in the court house at
Cut Bank Monday evening took
steps to safeguard water rights
that a number of years ago were
granted in connection with the
ultimate retaining of 1850
acres of Blackfeet Indian Reser-
walton lands.
First h i n t that these water
rights were in jeopardy came
from the regional office of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs at
Billings in the form of letter to
Blackfeet Agency Supt. Rex D.
kildow in June, in which he was
directed to place the matter be-
fore the Blackfeet Indians. The
letter, somewhat comprehensive.
contained the following salient
statement:
For the past two or three
years a controversy between the
Indian Bureau and the Bureau of
Reclamation regarding the
ultimate development of irriga-
ton on the Blackfeet Reservation
has been building up to a point
where the issue must soon be
resolved.
At this weeks meeting at Cut
Bank, which was in charge of G.
S. Frary, president of the Two
Medicine Water Users Associa-
ton, Paul Fickinger, regional
director of the Indian Bureau at
Billings, was the main speaker.
His talk was in elaboration of
the warning carried in the In
dian Bureaus letter to Kildow.
Mr.. Fickinger in his portrayal
of what was developing pointed
out that apparently the Lower
Marias Development Project was
relying for water upon the Marias
watershed, embracing the Bad
ger, Two Medicine, Birch Creek
and Cut B ank Creek areas, or
that which had been designated
to sustain the 119, $50 acres of
the Blackfeet Reservation.
He explained that the estimat-
ed quantity of water, based up
on an engineering study made by
the Bureau of Reclamation at the
inception of the Blackfeet Irriga-
ton project number of years
ago, had been set at 2S4, 300 acre
feet.
The Bureau of Reclamation
now proposes that the Blackfeet
Irrigation projects water require
ments be reduced so h a the
Lower Marias project be t h e
beneficiary.
Mr.. Fickinger pointed out that
were t h e Blackfeet Irrigation
Project a completed one, there
would be no unused water going
down the streams. as in the pres
ent case, to tempt the encroach-
ers.
He stressed the Importance of
the Blackfeet Irrigation Project
being completed as soon as posi-
BILE so that its estimated water
needs would be in use before the
Lower Marias Project, now in
its initial stage of construction.
would be given an opportunity to
its case on the rugged
basis' of first come, first
served
As explained by Mr.. Fickinger,
the Secretary Of t h Interior,
will have final determination of
who will get the present unused
water of the Marias water shed,
since both the Bureau of Indian

Educator Group Asked
To Oppose Public Aid
For ParochiaI Schools
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar.
delegates to the annual conven-
tion of the American Association
of School Administrators were
asked today to approve a resolu-
ton to deny public funds to pa
rochial schools.
James L. Hanley. superintendent
of schools at Providence, R. I.
said in minority report of the
associations 27-man Resolutions
Committee the resolution "is un-
necessary and harmful to the
cause of public education"
Officials of the association said
they believed the 1000 delegates
would vote for the resolution. They
said it was the first time a minor
ity report ever was printed along
with the Resolutions Committee
report.
The resolution said:
I'VE believe the American ira
dition of separation of church and
state should be vigorously and
zealously safeguarded.
I'VE respect the right of groups
including religious denominations
to maintain their own schools sc
long as such schools meet the
educational, health and safety
standards defined by the States
in which they are located.
1--WE believe that these schools
should be financed entirely by
their supporters. We, therefore,
oppose all efforts to devote public
funds to either the direct or in
direct support of these schools" /"
In his minority report, Mr..
Hanley said:
Il am opposed to the inclusion
OF Resolution 9. While I am in
favor of the separation of church
and state, believe that the in
clusion of this Sectarian issue in
this report is unnecessary and
harmful to the cause of public
education.

addressed the convention last
night, told newsmen that Fed
