Seek Reelection
AS District Judge

District Judge Guy C. Derry.
who has served as one of the
two judges in the Thirteenth
Judicial District since 1887, filed
his petition for denomination
Wednesday, with the Secretary
of State. IA. 'f-''. '- '~' -, DO =
The district is composed of
Yellowstone, Treasure, Big Horn,
Saltwater, and Carbon counties,
and has the largest population
of any judicial district in Mon
tana. Candidates for judicial
office are selected on a non
partisan ballot.
In announcing his candidacy,
Judge, Derry made the follow
ing statement:
Gas a comparatively young
man, T was elected to my pres
emit position in 1887. I am ap-
preciative of the confidence the
voters have expressed in my
conduct of office by continuing
me in the position. It has been
my earnest endeavor at all
times, to so perform the duties
of district Judge that all litiga-
ton and other matters before
the court, are given full and
prompt attention.
I'm performing the many
duties of a district judge it
has been my purpose to inter-
pref the law as enacted by the
lawmakers, without being guild
ed by personal feeling on the
merits of the law to be inter-
preted.
Judge and Mrs. Derry reside
at 1046 North 31st Street in
Billings. They have three chill
dren, Mrs. William S. King and
Mrs. William T. Kelly, of Bill
ings, and a son, Craig Derry,
who is a photographer in New
York City. All of the children
attended the local schools and
the State University.

necessary, he said.
Fitzpatrick added 2 4-D sprays
will not kill Canadian thistle
with one application, especially
if the "parch" is several years
old. To Starve the roots patches
must be sprayed every IA days
until the thistle fails to send
up new leaves. Application
should be on pound of 2 4-D
acid per acre in 20 gallons of
water for each spraying and
begin while the plants are still
small and growing rapidly.
On spots that have been
sprayed this summer, there, are
several methods which can be
employed this fall, Fitzpatrick
said. A1ticide can be applied to
spots after they have been
scraped of vegetation, at the
rate of four pounds per square
rod, or a late fall seeded grass
mixture can be planted to COM

pete with the thistle which will
terminate from seed in the
ground or from the root stalks.
Combating Canadian thistle
in fields with row crops is
more difficult because of the
damage 2 I'D causes to these
sensitive crops. Spot cultivation
or moving and flooding with
water will help give control,
but will not eradicate this par
ticular weed, the agent said.

reported today.
The Joint Committee on Re-
duction of Non Essential Federal
Expenditures said this was the
first such decline since Septem-
ber, 1851.

gories dropped slightly from July
to August. the defense agencies

in civilians employed by the mill
tary was the first since June.
1850, the month the Korean war
began.
The total Of Federal civilian
job holders in June, 1850, was
l ,968, 400. Nearly all the increase
of more than half a million since
then has been accounted for by
the Jump in civilian workers hired

These reported decreases in en-
ployment between July and August

and Navy Departments. Economic
Sterilization Agency, Federal Civi

General McGranery today what
he intends to do about it's recon-
mendation that perjury proceed
ings be brought against Owen Lat

Anti-Truji|Io Editor
Is Slain in New York
Tenement Ambush
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK. Oct. ga leader
Of the Dominican Republics
revolutionary movement was lured
to death by assassination last
night in a murky tenement hall
way.
Andres Requena, a 44-year-old
co-publisher of an infrequently
published Spanish language news
paper, was shot to death after a.
mysterious telephone call sum-
moned him to a tenement house
at 243 Madison street.
Mr.. Requena's newspaper, De
Patri, is editorially opposed to|
the government Of President Hec-
tor Trujillo of the Dominican Re-
public. 1t is published here and
sneaked into the Latin American
country.
A cab driver. Sol TaZitsky, told
police he drove Mr.. Requena to the
address and agreed to wait five
minutes for him.
Suddenly 1ive shots rang out.
Mr.. TazitSky called police. They
found the publishers body hud-
died in the hallway with four
SlugS in it. A .38-caliber gun was
found in the rear of the building.
Saw Flash of Shots.
Mr.. Tazitsky said he saw the
flash of the shots as Mr.. Requena
entered the hallway. Police be-
lieve the killer was hiding in the
shadows at the foot of a staircase
and that Mr.. Requena made a
perfect target as he moved against
the glow of a naked light bulb.
Apparently no attempt was made
to search his body. The victims
billfold. containing SO, was intact.
Mr.. Requena lived in a fur
nished room on West 10th street.
To work out a solution police
were faced with wading through
a mass of Dominican political in
trigue.
Mr.. Requena's co-publisher.
Juan NJ. Diaz, who helped get out
the 10-page newspaper. said he'd
warned Mr.. Requena of the risks
he was taking in writing his polit-
ical articles. The last issue of
De Patria was published in July.
Had Received Threats.
His newspaper articles reported
~ brought threats to Mr.. Re-
quena.
The paper was aimed against
Hector Trujillo. who was elected
President of the Dominican Re
public May 13 and inaugurated
August 18. Hector succeeded his
brother, Rafael. former dictator of
the republic. thus keeping the
whiphand in the family.
The Dominican Republic Con-
sulate here described Mr.. Requena
and Mr.. DiaZ as revolutionaries.
A spokesman said the government
knew nothing about the murder,
but will cooperate in every way
to clear it up"
The Dominican government is
concerned and very much puz-
zled" about the crime, the spokes-
man added.

travel allowance for Federal work
erS.
Another aspect of the situation
is that many agencies now don't
even allow their employees the SO
travel maximum. Some employees
are restricted to ST or SO a day,
even when their assignments take
them to urban areas.
Another inconsistency is that,
within the same department, en-
ployes who do comparable travel
work get varying amounts of travel
allowance. One bureau may give
an employe SO a day, while an
other unit in the same depart
ment may limit another worker
to ST or So.
*4A
RESERVE PLAN It's begin
ming to look as if the pending
White House executive order Civ
ing reserve status to hundreds of
thousands of Government tempo
rary indefinite workers won't be
forthcoming for at least another
month.
The administration definitely
favors issuance of the order, which
eventually will lead to permanent
status for those temporary indefi-
mite employees who passed civil
service exams or qualified from
registers in order to get their jobs.
However, there are still some
technical points to be cleared up,
and this will take little more
time. Also. it's been more or less
decided to hold up the order until
President Truman returns from
his whiStle-Stop tour. A few agen-
cies are antagonistic toward the
order, feeling it will cause more
confusion than it is worth. But
the majority of bureaus favor it,
as we'll as the Civil Service Com
mission and the Budget Bureau.
