HandbooksAren'tEyi|,
Judge Says; Rejects
Gaming Conspiracy
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April II. - Judge
Wilbert F. Crowley threw a gam
bling conspiracy case out of court
yesterday and invited the State
to go to higher courts for a clari-
fication of the law.
The Criminal Court Judge is
sued a 45-page opinion in which
he said an analysis of established
law shows "handbooks in them
selves are not evil and do not vio-
late public morals"
He quashed an indictment
charging Western Union Tele-
graph Co. and the r. and H. News
Service, a racing information Sys-
tenn, and others with conspiracy
to operate a handbook in viola
tion Of the law, against public
morals and against the common
law.
Judge Crowley said he later will
quash similar indictment against
Western Union, the Midwest News
Co, another wire service, and in
dividuals.
No Crime Prior to 1874.
"The statute governing public
morals" the judge said. was
passed in 1874 Bookmaking did
not become a crime until 1887.
Therefore bookmaking was not a
crime wner the public morals law
was passed and this indictment
cannot apply.
Certainly there are statutes
which make bookmaking a misde-
meanor punishable by a fine.
Our law is based on common
English law existing in 1906. That
time gambling and bookmaking
were not evils in themselves.
Therefore, this section under
common law does not apply in
the current case"
Appeal Is Undecided.
Joseph Atwell. assistant States
attorney handling all gambling
conspiracy cases, said he will con-
suit his superiors about an ap-
peal. He said the ruling will have
a decided effect on four other
pending indictments returned by
the same grand jury.
The indictment thrown out to-
day was returned by a grand jury
which began inquiring into hand
book and policy operations in Sep
tember. 1851. and had its term
extended through October.
Besides Western Union the de-
PENDANTS were the Midwest News
Co.; its president. John F. Scan
Ian, and four of his associates;
James Frestel, George Polachek,
Sylvester Farrell and Samuel
Gianoana: the R. and H. News
Service, its operators. Ray Jones
and Philip Katz: Joseph Vaccaro
and Carl Cannata, alleged oper-
ators Of a handbook in suburban
Cicero, and James Bettinas, presi-
dent Of the Suburban Transit Sys-
tenn, beneficiary of a trust which |
operated the building where the
alleged book was situated.

Thousands Of Pilgrims
Jam Jerusalem for
Easter Observance
BY The Assoeioted Press

Christmas throughout the world
today commemorated the most
solemn event of Holy Week
Christ'S death on the cross.
Christian pilgrims in the great
est numbers since the Holy Land
war jammed Jerusalem. Jews and
Arabs relaxed somewhat their
barbed wire barriers separating
the old and new cities to allow the
pilgrims to visit the shrines mark
ing Christ's last days.
The pilgrims retraced his tor
turous journey along the cobbled
Via Dolorosa to Calvary. On Sum-
day the Roman Catholics will cell
ebrate Easter at the Basilica of
the Holy Sepulchre. a service
marked by the joyous ringing of
many bells at the resurrection.
Many Protestants will attend an
outdoor sunrise service Easter
morning at st. Andrews church.
yard.
Good Friday devotional services
were held in all churches of
Western Europe-Catholic and
Protestant alike.
In London a three hour service
began at noon in Westminster
Abbey. In Western Germany and
elsewhere business places closed
and government Offices shut up
for the week end.
Thousands of pilgrims from
many parts of the world thronged
st. Peters Basilica in Vatican
City and Rome's more than 400
other churches.
Fine spring weather gave Lon
don an almost deserted look, as
thousands left for four-day Easter
in the countryside. Tens
OF thousands of Parisians also de-
serted that city, but their places
were taken by tourists fiocking

The nearest thing to a new idea

'GIs al Big Airbase
In France Use Tents
due 10 Funds DELAY
BY the Associated Press

CHATEAUROUX, France, April
11.-A thousand United States Air
Force personnel are living in tents
instead of barracks in this unfin-
ished base here because of de-
llayed decision over who pays for
what.
Chateauroux Depot, which was
to be the largest outside the
United States, is still a skeleton
because of an eight-month delay
in ALLEGATION of funds which are
to come from either the Mutual
Security Act organization or the
UNITED States Air Force.
Millions of dollars worth of sup
plies were dumped here but the
depot still lacks warehouses, ma
chine shops and semi-permanent
Ieating, sleeping and recreation
quarters.
Decision Reached on Funds.
In Paris, Ambassador Frederick
i. Anderson of MSA said his Or
lganization and the Air Force now
have reached decision and funds
have been approved. 1t is now
merely a question of ironing out
the details in Washington, he
added. He said he did not know
when the funds would be available.
Qn Washington, a spokesman
said the Air Force would have
no immediate comment.)
The first troops arrived here
last July to lay the ground work.
Asked about the lack of funds,
Brig. Gen. Joseph H. Hicks of
Lander, Wyo., the commander,
said: II understand the finances
are being untangled and money is
to be available within 80 days
which will alleviate present condi-
tions."
Hangers Used as Warehouses.
Meanwhile, hangers are being
used as warehouses for the 100000
different items stocked. Hangers
also are pressed into use as mess
halls.
The depot uses a makeshift
laundry because it has no housing
for its modern laundry equipment.
Skilled United States Air Force
and French technicians
spend part of their time digging
bitches in this muddy
locale.
The lights go off many times
each day because permanent
equipment is not yet hooked up.
The base needs 10000 feet of
fence to protect equipment but
again has no funds to pay for the
materials.

Soils and Crops
1852 Will Prove Good Year
For State as a Whole
By RALPH MERCER

TT SEEMS LIKE this has been
one of the shortest summers have
ever experienced, and aside from
times passing more rapidly as one
gets older, it may be that the con-
slant checking off of rainless days
may have had something to do with
it.
While many have been hit rather
hard and in spots where it hurts
the most, still, for the state as
whole, 1852 will go down in the
record books as a fairly good year.
It's pretty hard sometimes. to
understand fellows that you know
pretty well. I had quite a visit
with George recently and he was
not averse to lambasting some of
his neighbors because several of
them were going to winter through
on small feed supplies rather than
take enough animals to town to cut
down the chance taken.
Then he expounded for some time
on his early seeding of his winter
wheat crop, that went into the
ground without any seed treatment
of any kind.
Cereal Grains
The old state looks now as though
it would come through with a
pretty large total production Of
wheat after all. It is unpleasant to
think of what would have happened
had there not been an abundance
of moisture placed in the soil last
fall. The results were pretty well
illustrated by those fields that were
stubbled-in this spring when pros
4 poets looked so rosy.
The season pretty well illustrate:
that rain in Montana is seasonal
and not many times does it come
two seasons in succession.
It is hoped that most of the wintel
wheat seeded. this fall has beer
treated for protection against plan
diseases as well as against wire
worm damage. No seed should b
planted without this protection. ]
is. strange how some will neglec
this type of production practice an
will then put out expensive plan
food in an attempt to overcom
sheer neglect on their part.
Alfalfa Seed Harvest
The size Of the alfalfa seed Gro
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-09-15

in Montana will be governed by the
weather which prevails between the
time this is written and the first
real freeze. Many thousands of
acres which are usually available
for the production of seed were used
entirely this year for the produc-
ton of feed.
For about the third time in the
last 80 years the first crop left for
seed production made a good set
and is producing good, plump seed.
It would be well to remind pro-
ducers again to get their seed avail
able as soon as possible, so they are
in a position to take advantage of
the better offers.
All producers of certified alfalfa
seed should fill out the. yield data
as soon as harvesting operations
have been completed and send these
reports direct to the office of the
Montana Seed Growers association.
No grades on cleaned seed will be
released until such information has
been received.
It should be remembered, too,
that even with an average winter
all types of feed will be valuable.
Alfalfa straw, particularly where
the alfalfa to be threshed has been
stacked, is valuable feed and has
taken many cutters through the
winter. Where possible, much more
straw will be saved if it can be
baled.
Seeding
The question of fall seeding of
alfalfa. has been asked many times
recently.
In general, producers have found
the early fall seeding, where mois-
ture is available, will result in a
satisfactory survival the following
spring.
To become sufficiently rooted tc
go over winter, alfalfa, east Of the
mountains, should be seeded BY
July 18th. Later seeding may make
it but as the period of seeding i:
extended the chances of surviva
are less.
Many producers under irrigation

A full page article on Live stock on Kodiak Island, illus trated with two photographs, appears in the December issue of The Alaska Farmer, published by the territorial department of agriculture.
 The article describes the op- portunities for ranching on the island and says that there are thousands of square miles of bountiful grass land on Kodiak. which could produce more beef to the acre than most of the ranges of the southwestern United States. '"
 The photographs show a group of Kodiak ranchers and a herd of beef cattle on the island.
