The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-07-29

was brought in touch with Alger
Hiss.
He first met Hiss In 1888 when
both were employed by the IA.
Their contact at this time was
frequent but not close or daily, .
in the words Of the controversial
deposition Stevenson made for use
at the first trial Of Hiss on perjury
charges.
After 1888, Stevenson said he saw
no more Of Hiss for nearly IL
years. The two renewed their &C.
quaintance early in 1945 when both
were employed by the State De-
partment.
In the next two years, Stevenson
and Hiss followed official paths
that verged and crossed several
times. They met at intra-depart.
mental conferences of the State
Department In Washington and dis
cussed press relations at the San
Francisco conference. Hiss was
secretary general Of the confer
ence.
This sort Of contact continued
intermittently into the latter part
Of 19l7. Eighteen months passed. |
Stevenson now was governor of
Illinois. Hiss stood accused In q
federal court in New York Of lying |
to conceal theft Of secret u. S. |
documents. !.
Pursuant to q court order, Stew
enson was approached on June 2,
1919, by 4 u. S. commissioner in
Springfield, III. to answer some
questions under oath.
The main questions concerned
the length Of Stevenson's acquain-
lance with Hiss, the history and
circumstances Of their association
and whether - from what Steven
son had heard about Hiss from ott
er persons up until then - he con
sidered good or bad the accused
reputation for loyalty, integrity and
truthfulness.
Stevenson answered the ques-
tons. He said Hiss had q good
reputation, among their acquain-
.ances In common, on each Of the
specific points raised.
The first Hiss trial ended In q
hung jury. Hiss was tried 4 second
time, and convicted.
Early this year, Stevenson was
asked about the deposition by
reporter in a television interview.
He related how it came about and
added this:
"I'm q lawyer. think that one
of the most fundamental respon-
sibilities, not only Of every citizen
but particularly of lawyers, is to
give testimony in a court of law,
to give it honestly and willingly,
and it viii be a very unhappy day
for Anglo Saxon justice when a
man, even . man In public life,
is too timid to state what he knows
and what he has heard about a
defendant in criminal trial for
fear that the defendant might later
be convicted"
Then the interviewer asked:
.'Now that SO many of the facts
have come out in the Hiss case,
what is your judgment or feeling
about the verdict of the court"
81 am a lawyer" Stevenson re-
Piled. 81 believe explicitly that a
jury of ones peers must find the
right answer or else we can have
no faith in our judicial system"

School Financing
Requires More
Money For Dist. 9

The financing of public schools
in Montana is established and
limited by the Foundation Pro-
gram set up by the state legisla-
ture in 1919. The program at
that time was just barely ade-
quate. Now it is more than diff
cult to operate our schools in
terms of 1949 costs.
1t is necessary for the people to
know that the amount h
school can budget is exactly lin
tied by the number of children in
school. Regardless of the amount
of receipts that our school gets
from county taxes, equalization,
Indian funds, etc., it can spend
only what the Foundation Pro-
gram allows it.
However, there is one means
of getting more money by the
voting of an extra mill levy.
In spite of the increased funds
from the oil boom in easter
Montana, our school district can
not use their share of these funds
unless they levy an extra millage
so that they might enlarge theirs
beyond the Foundation Program.
Stated clearly and briefly:
If School District No. 9 gets
SIS, 900 as it's share of oil money,
it cannot spend it because we are
restricted by the 1949 laws. The
