ONLY the commission has the author
ity to investigate the financial af-
fairs of utility. This position-de-
spite the fact that 70-109 gives the
commission authority to authorize any
person or persons" to make such in
vestigation, whether or not they be
connected with the commission.
Since the PSC is supposed to pro-
| tect the public from unreasonable
charges by utilities, the North Mon
tana gas consumers do not believe
they are getting a fair shake"
from the commission in its refus-
ing them permission to have COM
petent experts secure necessary in
| formation from the only source
such information can be obtained
the utility's records.
Despite the commission supposedly
being public body set up to protect
the public interest, it is the opinion
OF many gas consumers the pres
ent PSC will in no wise assist CON
sumers to learn actual facts in an is
sue of material interest to the con-
SumerS.
There is also complaint that Comm.
Henry, Young and Middleton are TAX
ing unto themselves functions almost |
strictly judicial in nature - despite
the law specifically stating that the
commission shall not be a judicial
body.

brought into production it will be
impossible to determine "full market
value" for such resources. The State
Constitution expressly provides that
"fuIl market value" must be received
from the sale of any trust lands or
any resources removed therefrom.
Habedank and Swanberg, in sup
porting the new lease law, rational
ize on each point raised by Olsen in
contending that each point raised by
the Attorney General lacks merit and
that his suit questioning the consti-
tutionaIity of the new law should ac-
cordingly be held against by the Su-
preme Court.

.EI Fertilizers
By the Asseeioted Pres,

Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota, whose cigars are
a bane to fellow members on any
committee, has received some
more free ones - made by a
Puerto Rico fertilizer company.
Senator Mundt and non-
smoking Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican. Of Wisconsin, have been
carrying on long but friendly
feud over the aroma of his cigars
and even more potent pipes.
Senator Mccarthy has agreed to
keep his colleague supplied with
free cigars of Senator Nc
Carthy's own choosing if Senator
Mundt will refrain at subcom-
mittee meetings from smoking
his pipe and his regular brand OF
cigars. He got the second in
Stallment on the pledge yester-
day.
Senator Mundt, suspiciously
examining the label identifying
the cigars as a product of a
fertilizer company, shifted one of
them carefully and then lit. up.
He reserved comment on the
quality but didn't look unhappy.

By the Assoeio,ed Press

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Mar.
20.-Abraham Glasser, who re-
fused to answer questions about
Communist Affiliations before
the House Committee on I'm
American Activities, has been
suspended as an associate pro-
feSsor at Rutgers University.
The university suspended Mr..
CHASER yesterday on grounds
that his testimony before the
committee was clearly in con-
f1ict" with its policies.
DR.. Lewis Webster Jones, Rut-
gers president, said he was sus-
pending Mr.. Chaser Immediately
pending final adjudication by
the Board of Trustees.
Two Fired in December.
Mr.. CHASER commented: "I
hope that this means the uni
verSity is going to give me a
hearing. I don't think I should
say any more now"
Rutgers fired two other fac
ulty members December 81 for
refusing to answer questions be-
fore a Senate Internal Security
subcommittee.
Mr.. CHASER, a 37-year-old for
mer Justice Department lawyer,
appeared before the, House Un-
American Activities Committee
Wednesday, and said he was not
now an Official. card-carrying
member of the Communist
Party"
Silent on Past Link.
But when asked about any
Communist ties from 1885 to
1941, he was silent. 1t was his
contention that he was cleared
in 1941 by a special Justice De-
partment hearing committee of
charges of having been a Com
muniSt and association with
Communists.
Because of this, Mr.. CHASER
said, the House Committee had
no right to place him in double
jeopardy" He also based his
refusal to answer questions on
the privilege of the Fifth Amend
ment.

Washington Lawyers S Suit
AGAINST NobIeman Settled

Suit of a. Washington lawyer
to collect $31.500 in attorneys
fees he said was still due him
from a French nobleman. who
inherited $750,00O in America
was settled out of court last Fri
day after a day of trial before
Federal Judge Claude McCol-
loch in Portland, Ore
The amount of the settlement
was not made known, but both
sides said they were satisfied.
Defendant was 34-year-old
Marquis Regis T. deMaleissye,
who now owns the Wagontrail
ranch near Lapine, Ore. Plaintiff
was John Wattawa, a lawyer with
Offices here.
1t was stipulated in court that
there had been no fraud and no
duress used on the part of Mr..
Wattawa when he and deMaleis-
sye signed their contract over the
fees in July, 1947.
DeMaleissye had claimed the
fee was excessive.
Mr.. Wattawa countered that 1t
was through his skill and work
that it was possible for deMale-
issye to collect his inheritance
and also to immigrate to this
country in time to get it before
the French government could
requisition the money and force
him to exchange his American
dollars into French francs.
