School texts were revised. Booklets
and other literature flooded the mails.
He said another "favorite method
of attack" was mot to meet the
public ownership argument-but to
pin the Red label on their propon-
ents, and thus condemn those who
advocated the public ownership of
public utilities as Bolsheviks, Reds
or parlor pinks. Evidently creeping
socialism was then unknown"
Magnuson warned that propaganda
again apparently has taken the same
form, directed against public owner
ship of generation, transmission, and
distribution facilities, electric CO.
operatives and Federal power de-
velopments.
Joining with Magnuson were Sens.
Gillette (Iowa), Green, (R. ~, Ke-
fauver, (Tenn.), Lehman, IN. W,
Hill, (Ala.), Murray, (Mont.), Hum
phrey (Minn.), LANCER, IN. d.,
Morse (Ore.), and Tobey, IN. H.
Meanwhile, it was evident that
commercial power interests were
becoming afraid that the Electric
Consumers Conference will be-
come a potent voice of power users.
Writing in the June ELECTRIC
LIGHT AND POWER, one of the
large trade journals, Ralph Elliott
charges the group "has the distinct
smell of a political campaign front
aired by radical pub
lie ownership advocates and nurtured
by remnants of the New and Fair
Deals that are still hanging around
both in and out of of
flee.
obviously" Elliott is u e d 4,
'ECC's ultimate aim is to foster in
public ownership, although
It's a good bet that plenty of the
several hundreds who attended the
don't know that they're
getting into Connie front organi-
zation."
ECC representatives were to meet
o study the attack. 1t was general

lot go unchallenged. The American
'ublic Power Association conferred

t the language since he said his
arbon copy of the story stated GO.

Elliott said he had made no check

, see whether they appeared on
lie Attorney-Generals list of sub
ersive groups. He said he doubted,
ecause the story broke on his dead
ne, that the Chicago office did.
In a speech inserted in the CON-
RESSIONAL RECORD, Rep. John
ankin (D-Miss.), himself member
the House Committee on I'm
merican Affairs, defended the con-
,rence against similar charge.
Referring to Rep. George A. Don
eros resolution asking for an in
of the conference to de-
rhine whether it used the resources
sponsoring organizations for Gun
merican" purposes, Rankin said:
II addressed the members of that
conference, and was glad to do so.
They are struggling for the bet
erment of humanity. Instead of
icing attacked in this unjust man
Ter, they should be praised by ev-
ry representative of the American
eople in this House, as well as in
he other body"
He added that if Congress were to
vestigate anybody, it should be

In addition to the Senate resolu-
n to probe the utility industry,

the House for a number of Federal

Establishment of a public hous-
ing project in Great Falls providing
dwelling units for aged single per-
sons was asked Sunday by members
of the Montana Old Afge Pension
Assn. at their annual prediction
meeting at Smeltermen's hall.
Purpose of the proposed project
would be to enable aged persons to
have individual housing. At present,
regulations in public housing prof.
ects here prohibit single persons from
occupying units, association officials
said. If an elderly couple occupies a
unit and one dies, the survivor must
move, they explained.
The group decided to study con-
gressional bill, which provides fed
eral financial assistance in establish
ing housing for aged single persons,
to see if aid could be obtained by
this method.
This action highlighted the session,
which also featured talks by numer-
Gus political candidates, association
officers, and adoption of tentative
bylaws and constitution. Members
voted to incorporate.
A slate of candidates headed by
Gov. John w. Bonner was endorsed
for election. N. A. (Nick) Peterson,
candidate for lieutenant governor,
and Atty. Gen. Arnold Olsen, candi-
date for reelection, were other state
endorsed. Both are Demo-
Gratis and both attended the meet
ing.
Six candidates for state represen-
tatives from Cascade county are be-
ing boosted by the organization. They
are Leo c. Graybill, Ralph F. Cook,

We will work at the Democratic
convention to see to it that our party
adopts a platform and dominates a
candidate who will stand forth to bat
tie the reactionary Republicans with
courage and confidence.

impatiently. But sponsoring a

be blunt"
Buloff looked offended.

to produce him"
A tense silence fell, like a dead
lock, with Buloff in evident self
debate. Finally he said, THE man
was not to be harassed. That was
also a condition of my custody. /"
''I've got to question him." De-
vereaux said fatty.

growing. Il can't work with a
man whom the police continue to
persecute."
They entered the connecting
hall and climbed the staircase in
tedious -ingle file. The narrow
hallway was fraught with sicken-
ing odors.
THE one room on the upstairs
1 floor held an irregular ar
rangement of unmade beds, six
in number, and an odd assortment
Of household appurtenances. The
room was evidently a kind Of
dormitory, with kitchen facilities,
of a sort, and other living COM
forts flung here and there into the
disorder.
The room held two occupants.
One, middle-aged woman with
prominent features, had the un-
mistakable look Of a menial She
was carefully folding towels that
looked newly washed, but without
the use of a bleaching agent. The
other was a man OF medium
height. with a swart complexion
and an aquiline nose. He was sit

emptily, like q man half-awalSe.

Devereaux began with piercing
directness. 'I'm a policeman, Lon
go. And I'm also the man you
laid out in room in the Hotel
Orleans"
Longo shook his head, ~ n
erasing Devereaux from the view
before him.
Lying won't help. Longo," De.
vereaux continued coldly.
Longo looked at Buloh appeal
ingly, and the Mission head
turned proteStingly to Devereaux.
You'll shut up and not butt in.
Buloff," the detective warned.
Devereaux coiled sudden 6n@
gers around Longo'S wrist. "Buloff
can't help you, so don't look for
It. And If you've got an idea thak
this place is a haven, give II MP,
because I'll hustle you out ok

The tic was alive IN Longo'e
cheeks: Buloff said, Tell the
truth, Longo."
What were you doing in tha3
hotel room?" Devereaux asked.
Longo looked away from Buloif.
His face had the shamed look OF
a child pushed to confess a mias
deed. ."I heard q noise at the door.
and ! hid in the closet"
The sudden distress in Bulofrs
face seemed genuine TO Deve-
reaux's quick estimate. The de-
tective said, THAT wasn't my
question. I asked, what were you
doing in the room?"
i went in looking for money,
jewelry."
Into an occupied room?" De-
vereaux's tone rejected il. Longo
stared at the detective blankly,
and Devereaux said, Even an
amateur hotel thief knows enough
TO make sure the tenant Is out
before breaking in"
Longo said, Il thought the
room was empty" as IL he couldn't
understand the significance Of this
line of discussion.
"What made you think soin De-
vereaux persisted.

in the hall and watched. Nobody

rust and broken brick just q hoot
away from Manhattan's super
built financial district
The Buick nosed slowly through
the narrow labyrinth of streets,
and soon eased to a stop. Deve-
reaux alighted and stood regard
ing a wide, low building whose
facade showed long neglect. A
barely legible sign read: OLD
NEW YORK MISSION. SERV-
ICES S PM. COFFEE FREE.

Devereaux entered the Mission.
Except for two buns stretched
across as many benches, in deep
sleep, the room was deserted.
Devereaux cupped hand to
his mouth. .'Hel-loo-oo."
The echo held lingeringiy, and
then he was aware of a sound
overhead. Thump, thump, like a
cane, striking the same section
Of the floor, as if signaling a re-
sponse to his call Devereaux
waited, and soon there were foot
steps overhead, the heavy tread
Of a heavy person moving across
The floor. Soon man emerged
from the gloomy side hallway.
The shaggy gray mass of hair
looked long unbarbered and un-
combed. He was cadaverous, but
in curious disproportion. The up
per half of the frame had the
overdevelopment Of a heavy
weight wrestler. What was below
the top mass seemed spindly, al
most delicate. He was carrying a
heavy, black-lacquered stick for
walking support.
The man stared near-sightedly
as he moved closer to Devereaux.
He stopped and furrowed his
brow inquisitively.
Maxim Rulotf!" Devereaux
asked.
The man made an affirmative
sound in his throat
I'm Devereaux, q policeman.
I've some questions to ask about
a man you're interested in.h
Bulof looked his question si-
lently. 'Longo. Nick Longo. You
stood for him with the parole

lofts stare of surprise, then said,
