uncommon for lawyer to- carry a
case he considers worthy through the
courts without fee, this one, mat
ter of taking a mans life for life
very nearly didn't make the grade.
As for me, it seems that when the
state takes the only thing human
has, his life, he should be allowed
every recourse available Surely this
should not be denied even by those
who contend it is Christian and NOR
ally right for the state to take the
life in the first place.
| wonder if this type of statute
wouldn't be desirable to present to
our next legislative assembly?
l find myself in a bit of dither
about the return to normal" ticket
we bought at the last election.
What is normal?
Is it laying men off the job? Is it
cutting the source of buying power
so that goods pile up in factories
until more men are laid off? Is it
undermining the job security of the
people so that they hold back on buy
ing things they need and the circle
starts all over again?
Many people didn't chip in on the
ticket that bought our passage to
return 20 normal" but they are find
ing themselves going along for the
ride, anyhow.
So soon we find ourselves dreaming
of the day when we bought what we
needed, because tomorrow we were
sure of keeping it. Supply wasn't al
ways plentiful, but men with willing
hands were working to create more
and tomorrow we would be able to
get it. We were able to consume the |
product of our labor because every
'ne was laboring, producing the
needs of each other for today, tomor-
'ow and the next day.

BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

During a conversation with some
lawyers this week | learned that in
California when man is charged
with Capital crime the law requires
his case be reviewed by the State
Supreme court.
1t sounded like good idea to me
and l asked what objections there
would be to such a law and why it
hadn't been instituted in Montana.
One objection would be the cost,
was told, and another the burden on
the Supreme Court.
Though, l doubt if Montana has ta-
ken a mans life without the case
reaching the Supreme Court, we very
nearly did it in the case of Frank
Dryman. Dryman has second appeal
coming before the Supreme Court
sometime in the next month. Mon
tana came as near hanging him with
out even a jury trial as anyone has
come since the Vigilante days. 1t
would be in instances like the Dry
man case where automatic appeal
would best serve. He had no money,
no relatives, no counsel, and was
given eXpedient handling by the dis
trict court. Had automatic appeal
been pending it is doubtful if the
district court would have acted in
such haste. There was small posi-
bility of any appeal, however, at the
time he was sentenced to hang and
there was less than months to do
about it.
Dryman's case reached the Su-
preme Court simply because there
were people who didn't believe in |
swift Vigilante JUSTICE" but it was
a nip and tuck race with the hang
mans moose. Dryman's appeal proved
hat there is no such thing as an
open and shut case-there were rec
ords of a discharge from the Navy
saying he was ''insane," further trial
found two psychiatrists confirming
he Navy contention.

From MONTANA on JOURNAL

From MONTANA OIL JOURNAL
Until the next legislative session
the Montana oil industry and virtual
ly all phases thereof will be under alb.
solute control of the Montana Oil &
Gas Conservation Commission.
This SOLDERING fact was driven home
to operators with a jolt this week,
when the commission, meeting in
Billings, blandly reaffirmed its de-
cision to move board offices from
Great Falls to Helena, despite state
wide protests.
AS ostensible reason for the move,
some vague legal opinions were quot
ed, but none of these appeared to
be official, and it was the consensus
that if the board wanted to make
the move, it had the right to do so,
without taking refuge in excuses.
The affair has caused many op-
orators and landowners to read, for
the first time, Senate Bill No. SIS,
and has brought to them the reali-
cation that the board has practical
ly unlimited power.
Giving the board such power is
the magic word, waste" The board
is charged with the duty of eliminat-
ing waste" in state oil and gas pro-
duction.
Waste" doesn't mean running oil
down coulee. 1t can mean almost
anything, at the discretion of the
board, applied according to yardsticks
that may be created and adopted by
The board.
1t can mean bringing proration

UNEsCO Spends $4,000
On ; Plans for Paris Office
By the Associoted Press

PARIS, May 12.-UNESCO
has spent 1851 900 on three plans
for a new headquarters build
ing in Paris, but none has yet
been finally accepted.
The United Nations Educa-
tional, Scientific and Cultural
Organization reported the cost
illness of it's housing problem to-
day.
First. $4,000 was spent on
plans for a modern building in
the Place de Fontenay area. The
French government decided it
would clash with the architec-
ture of the region and vetoed it.
Then $4,000 went for plans
for a modern skyscraper at the
edge of the Bois de Boulogne.
French officials again turned the
blueprintS down as unesthetic
And likely to spoil the view.
So $85, 900 was paid for plans
for an 18th century style build
ing back on the Place de Fon-
tenay. This time the French
approved.
The new plans await an okay
from UNESCO's general confer
ence, opening July /.

TOKYO. May IL. United
States Air Force headquarters
said four American Thunderjet
fighter -bombers jettisoned their
bombs at almost the exact place
and time an unidentified ship
repeatedly exploded and sank
today.
The Air Force said the Thun-
derjets dumped their bombs in
the sea approximately 38 miles
southeast of Misawa Air Force
Base between $40 and $40 am.
A Japanese farmer said at ap-
proximately $40 am. he saw an
unidentified ship, of about 5000
tons blow up l mile off the viii
lage of Samuraihama-36 miles
south of MiSawa.

Far East Air Forces headquar-
ters said the area was a restricted
bombing range set up by agree
ment with the Japanese govern
ment. It said maritime craft en-
ter the area at their own risk.
"The Air Force has been unable
to confirm reports that a Jap
anese fishing boat or other craft
was present in the area at the
time the bombs were dropped, )"
the Air Force said. IAN SA-16
(ampnibian! rescue aircraft from
a United States Air Force rescue
unit in northern Japan searched
the area during the day but
found no confirming evidence
of the reported bombing"
An Air Force officer said it was
possible the Japanese farmer saw
a geyser from the last bomb ex-
ploSion and had mistaken the
geyser for an exploding ship.
Patrol Boats Search.
Three Japanese patrol boats
searched the area but did not re-
port sighting wreckage or sur
vivors.
The Air Force said the four
F-84 fighter-bombers of the ia
pan air defense force, were on
routine training maneuvers.
They abandoned a scheduled
attack on a training target due
to weather and dropped their
bombs in the restricted sea area
from an altitude of 5000 feet in
clear visibility.
Prior to jettisoning their
bombs. the Air Fore said, the
pilots checked to see if the water
