EBAUGH: BONNEVILLE
JUMPED THE GUN
TAXPAYERS.

Association secretary, H T. o d
Ebaugh, in making his annual report,
contended that Bonneville Power Adj
ministration had jumped the gun in
signing wheeling agreements with
Montana Power. Had BPA co-operat-
ed, eve might have done better on
the east side of the divide :" Ebaugh
asserted.
Ebaugh recalled that for three
years in a row, the association had
endorsed MVA, and last year had
gone on record for legislating a
Public Utility District (PUD) law
in Montana, and expressed the hope
that the 1851 convention would
take similar action.
Touching upon state legislation,
the secretary said that experience
has shown eve should have some
body in Helena during each session
to scrutinize bills as they are intro
duced :"
In also emphasizing the Importance
of good public relations, Ebaugh made
mention of the general coop meet
ing called by Montana Farmers I'm
ion in Great Falls last spring, and ex-
pressed the opinion that more such
should be held go co-or-
dinate our efforts"
THREE RESOLUTIONS PASSED
Three resolutions were given APP
prevail by the convention.
The delegates pledged about sup
port to further public power develop
ment and transmission line construc-
ton. Particularly, important to the
is the addition of an
other $4,000 XIV unit at Fort Peck,
of Yellowtail and Libby
dam and completion of transmission
oop around the state tying in Cam
yon Ferry, Fort Peck, Hungry Horse

,tructed.

Col. Lars Johnson Reports on National Guard Association

Col. L. L. Johnson, adjutant gen. eral of the Alaska National Guard returned this week from the 73rd annual conference of the National Guard Association in Washington, D. c.
 Several resolutions were passed hy the association, he said. They included.
 l. Urging passage of a law re- quiring compulsory membership in the National Guard for draftees after completion of their period of military service.

Tn his law business Curry has, and has had in the past, number of other associates. including Henry Cohen, a cousin of Felix Cohen, and Jonathan Bingham, both in New York; William L. Paul, Jr.. of Ju- neau; Henry Roden, the present Treasurer of Alaska; Fred Paul, brother oi William L. Paul, Jr, in Seattle; and others in New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Washington, D, C., and elsewhere.
 Precisely What Attorney Curry wants for his Alaska Indian clients in settlement of their claims is diff ficult to determine. but it is more than a little. It is clear, for instance, that he wishes the claims settled by establishment of reservations. And it further appears that he wishes these reservations, particularly m the potential pulp mill areas of Southeast Alaska, to include the ulOIG NdludUlG SbdtlllA OA OllliDGA ~A&Nts in addition, the waters that are most frequented by valuable. com mercial species of fish.
 It is in connection with these de- sired fishing reservations for ex- elusive use by the Indians that Curry finds the greatest fault with the Bartlett Indian Claims bill. The bill provides that no reservation, if any are created, shall extend below low tide line.
 Attorney Curry and other lawyers for Indian claimants have. quite naturally, a great desire to secure for their clients the best possible settlements, since the attorneys are working on contingent basis The contracts provide that the attorney may receive a fee not to exceed 10 percent "of any and all sums re- covered or procured through ef- forts in whole or in part for the said Indians"

,Conyiels 0verpoWer Guards But Lose in
 Attempted Break

SALEM, Ore, Nov. 1-tR-A score of convicts failed in a prison break last night after locking up seven unarmed guards and an engineer.
 Ten were in solitary today await ing Warden Virgin O'Malley's an- nouncement of punishment which the prison discipline committee will recommend late today.
 The break attempt, coming as the men filed out of the dining room at 6:20 pm. failed because an un- suspecting guard saw them huddled between the control room and the turnkey, in an area where construc- tion is under way. The guard, Mau- rice Folquet, shouted at the men to get back inside. The men-arm- ed with knives. ice picks and carv- ed wooden pistols-went back quiet ly and the escape try was ended.
 O'Mi Hey said the ring 0aders were John Omar Pinson, who mur- dered state patrolman and made one over-the- wall escape; and Wayne Long, convicted of murder in connection with a Portland bank rob- bery.
 Four hundred other inmates lolled about unguarded, sitting in their unlocked cells or in the corridors. They made no attempt to join in the break.
