OPPOSITION RISES

WASHINGTON, April F -tR-- Senate Republicans, asking equal representation for their party, to- day proposed creation of a special 24-nember, Senate-House commit tee to investigate Far Eastern poll icy
 They promptly ran into Demo- cratic opposition. Senator Russell (D-Ga) told the Senate the Armed Forces Committee, which he heads, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are already moving jointly to make an inquiry into for eign and military policy. He said they would cover the same ground.
 Russell also announced postpone ment of tomorrow's scheduled start of an inquiry by the Armed Serv- ices Committee only. Secretary of Defense Marshall was to have been the lead-off witness.
 He said the postponement is de- signed to give his committee and the Foreign Relations Committee, headed by Senator Connally (D- Tex), time to work out plans for joint hearings.
 Russell raised his objections inn mediately after Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) introduced a resolution for a special Senate-House com- mittee. This idea had received for mal endorsement from the COP Policy Committee at a forenoon meeting.

FAR EASTERN POLICY W ILL
 GET PROBING

WASHINGTON. April IT -lR- Senate Republicans today proposed creation of a 24-member Senate House Committee to make a broad investigation of Far Eastern policy.
 The COP Policy Committee en- dorsed the idea as drafted by Sem ator Ferguson (R-Mich) in tie form of a resolution for introduc- tion in the Senate.
 The resolution calls for "a com- plete evaluation of the United States policies in the Far East and their relation to the foreign and military policies of the United States as a whole"
 Senate Democratic leaders have agreed there should be an airing of the policy differences behind President Truman's firing of Gen. Douglas Macarthur from his Far Eastern commands.
 However, the Republicans pro- posed equal party representation on the suggested committee = 12 Dem- ocrats and 12 Republicans.
 The Democrats could be expected to insist that, as the majority party, they should have majority repre- sentation on any inquiry group.
 Both Senate and House would have to approve in order for the Republicans plan to be put into ef- feet.
 Both parties have accused each other of playing politics in the Tru- man. Macarthur controversy.
 Chairman Taft (R-Ohio) said the COP resolution had endorsement from B Republican senators in ad- vance of the policy committee ac- ton.

 COOPERATE
 THIS YEAR
Consolidation Program Is Postponed According 10
 Secretary of Inferior

WASHINGTON, April IT, -R-
 The Interior Department postponed
 for year yesterday it's proposed
 consolidation program for the AL
 aska Salmon Industry.
 The plan calls for the closing of some salmon packing plants
 and the use of other plants to their
 fullest capacity. in order to save
 critical materials, manpower and shipping space.
 Interior Secretary Chapman said
 the decision against putting the
 program into effect this year was made on the basis of recommenda- tions by Maurice Rsttray, Deputy Administrator of the Defense Fish cries Administration. Rattray conducted a series of hearings on the plan at Seattle last month.
 He said that because supplies and materials for the 1851 season already have been procured for the most part, the savings in ma- terials and manpower would be in- sufficient to justify the cost of administering and supervising the program.
 Chapman sala plan to make the industry even more compact will be considered for the next season.

BRADLEY BACKING
 TRUMAN
Declares Md(Anhur' 5 Asi. dtil Poily Would Jeo-
 pdrdize Peace

CHICAGO. April IT -IR- Gen. Omar N. Bradley. fige-star peer Of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, today de- clared Asia military policies advo- cated by the deposed commander would "jeopardize world peacc.'
 Bradley was the first or the home coming generals five-star brothers in rank to speak out publicly against the theory of carrying the war to China since President Truman dis missed Macarthur last week. Brad ley did not mention MacArthur's name.
 Last years quick LIN action in Korea, Bradley declared, may have stayed the Kremlin's hand as it was about to precipitate World War III.
 Bradley roundly backed the Presi- dents stand against MacArthur's ideas and defended the administra- tions' policy of limiting the war in Korea. As chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Bradley has large part in policy making.
 In Washington, the Defense De- partment said Bradley's speech was cleared by the State Department in line with White House edict last December requiring clearance of policy statements by government officials. In busting Macarthur from the Far East command, MT. Truman cited disregard of that order as a reason for the action.

The w ashingion Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

tcopyrieht. 1881. oy Bell Syndicate. Inc..
 " VASHINGTON.- private cau- cuses Congressional Republicans haven't been quite as outspoken for General MacArthur, or against President Truman-as in their pulp lie statements. Some have feared the Macarthur issue, unless care fully handled, might backfire and give the public the impression that Republican chiefs favor a third World War.
 Congressman A. L. (Doc) Miller of Nebraska warned of this at the first caucus of House Republicans.
 We must not leave ourselves open to Democratic charges that we are subscribing to war policy by defending MacArthur," Miller eau toned. "In inviting the General back here, it should be made clear that we are not necessarily con- firming his policy on the far East until we have heard his story"
 Congressman Fred Coudert of New York seconded Miller, as did several others. including Congress man Jack Javits of New York.

ANTITRUST SUIT AGAINST
 CABS ENDING

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April IT, R- Attorneys were to begin clos ing arguments today in the gov- ernment's antitrust action against Anchorage taxicab operators.
 Final testimony was given yester- day in the case against nine individ- ual taxicab owners, two taxi com panies and two cab associations. Court officials said the Federal Court jury probably would begin its deliberations some time tomor- row.
 The defendants are accused by the government of illegally fixing prices to eliminate competition.
 Concluding witness yesterday was It. Col James B. Davis, former legal officer of the 57th Fighter Wing at nearby Elmendorf Air Force Base.
 Meets With Operators
 Davis told of meeting with Anch- orage cab operators when bids were opened for runs at the military post.
 They (cab operators) indicated they were making joint bid so Carl Sturdavant (head of the Inter-Post Cab Company would not get the gravy and cream of the business Davis testified.
 Davis was recalled here from the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, where he is now stationed, to testify.
 He told the court Sturdavant originally was restricted in opera tions at the base but later began operating between Anchorage and the base.
 "In effect, they felt he took portion of their business away from them and they were submitting a bid to get away from that sort of business" the officer said. They said that as Intra-Post and later the Richardson Cab Company they would restrict their operations to the base"
 Discuss Sturdavant
 Davis added that Sturdavant was the subject of a "bit of conversa- tion at the meeting"
 None of them held him in very high regard because of his ways of doing business" he said.
 Davis said representatives of the Yellow, Hys Red, and Union Cab companies, plus one other, City or Gray, were present at the meeting.
 All the firms are defendants in the trust case.
 The government has contended during the prolonged trial that con- peting Anchorage cab operators banded together to get the post con- tract away from Sturdavailt, whose minimum rates were lower than theirs.
 Denies Rate-Setting
 Davis also testified he had never heard of a base commander setting taxi rates.
 In an attempt to refute testi- mony of Capt. William Rawls, 39th Air Police Squadron, who stated Friday he had never told operators what rates to charge, the defense yesterday called Mrs. Harry Baker, wife of one of the defendants, as rebuttal witness.
 She said Rawls came to their of- flee where she was dispatcher, and produced an advertisement giv- ing rates of the Red Cab company.
 ''Those are the prices you will charge from now on" Mrs. Baker said Rawls told her.

Oil Test Drilling
Commenced in
Lodge Grass Area

Another deep test drilling fol
oil production in Big Horn coun-
ty was launched recently 10y the
Union Oil Co. The wildcat ven
ture is on land, the mineral
rights of which belong to the
Crow tribe, located about three
miles northwest of Lodge Grass
The well is designated as I'm
ion No. 1-Allotted 1890, and is
located in center of SWA SWA,
Sec. 31-6S-35E.
Drilling was started several
days ago and rapid progress is
expected with the equipment
furnished for the test.
This well is important as one
of several to be drilled north
of the previous production
along the western side of the
Powder river basin in Montana.
It is Is miles north of the Shell
Oil company's Ash creek wild
cat test which is incomplete at
10000 feet.
The Lodge Grass test is one
of the group of exploratory
holes in the $5,000,000 explora-
ton campaign recently an
nounced by Reese Taylor, pres
ident of Union Oil.
With rotary tools working at
near a mile in the earth, Glenn
arthy's outfit is just across
the boundary line between
Treasure and Big Horn counties.
1t is another important deep
test in that it is being drilled
in an area where Mccarthy in
tereSts will have spent over a
quarter of a million dollars to
find oil on land of the Ken
drick Cattle Co.

Announces Change.
In Plans for
School Conferences

There will be no formal par
ent-teacher conferences this
year, except in grade one, it
has been announced by David
Hill, Hardin grade school prin-
cipal.
Conferences were held in all
grades last year, but due to the
heavy enrolment this year in
the upper intermediate grades,
it was not advisable to schedule
formal conferences in those
grades this year, Hill said. Z
Conferences in the first grade
are feasible because of the
normal enrolment and a min
imum of conflict with school
bus schedules. The principal said
it is extremely important for
first grade children to- get. a
good start in school and there
fore all parents of beginning
children are urged to make the
greatest effort to meet their ap-
pointmentS with the teachers.
Appointment cards will be
sent nome With the flrSt grade
children November T..
I'VE still recognize the need
for close parent-teacher rela-
tionShip at all grade levels"
the principal said. "All parents
are invited to visit school dur
ing the school year Your child's
teacher will be glad to discuss
his progress with you any time
after school. It is to your child's
advantage for you to know and
cooperate with his teachers
Hill added.
Graded reports will be sent
to parents every nine weeks, as
they were last year. The con-
ference in the first grade will
be. considered the first report
for that grade.
