PARK TO HELP IN CONTROL
OF DEADLY BARK BEETLES

West Glacier-A section of vir-
gin spruce forest in the Nyack
Creek drainage of Glacier Park is
to become test plot for control
of spruce bark beetles that are
destroying forests throughout the
northwestern Montana-northern
Idaho region.
Park officials are cooperating
with the Bureau of Entomology
laboratory at Occur d Alene,
who want spruce testing area
away from logging operations.
Plans, according to James c. Ev-
enden, head of the laboratory, is
to make regular studies through
the fall and winter on trap trees.
A felled tree becomes easier
for the beetles to penetrate. It is
felt that having one such trap
tree will save from six to eight
standing trees from the beetles
that lay eggs one year, and the
next sees larva girdle and kill the
spruce.

SALE OF LIQUOR
A BIG PROBLEM

BILLINGS Montana and Wyo.
ming Indians may buy liquor at
bars and package stores, but may
not take it home with them to
reservation lands, George Bruins.
kill, of Billings, Indian Service
special officer, said Friday.
Brunskill said that a special ell.
ection will be needed to decide
whether the liquor privilege will
be extended to Indian lands.
Such elections, he said, would
take matter of months.
He explained that the Indian
Service is now awaiting an opin-
ion from the solicitors office of
the Interior department, on
whether the elections are to in
volve entire tribes, or only tribal
councils.
Legislation passed by the 83rd
Congress and signed by President
Eisenhower, removed the long
standing prohibition by the fed
eral government. Montana and
Wyoming have repealed their
state laws against such sale.
Burnskill said that his area has
Indian reservations OF two CLASH
fications. Closed reservations,
such as the Crow and Blackfeet,
are covered by special acts of
Congress, and liquor may not be
possessed anywhere on these res
ervations.
On open" reservations, such
as the Tongue River, Fort Bel
KNAPP, Rocky Boy, Flathead and
Fort Peck in Monana, and Wind
River in Wyoming, liquor may be
possessed and sold on lands
which have been decided to white
men. These reservations have
bars and liquor stores on decided
lands, but liquor may not be car
ried to Indian lands.
Both types of reservations will
have to vote to allow Indians to
have liquor in their reservation
homes, said Burnskill.

Der Of the Blackfeet Tribal Coun-
Gil, in announcing the weekend
meeting in Browning, mentioned
several other matters of particu-
lar interest to Indian people of
this reservation. He was quoted
as saying in part:
Several Indian tribes in Mon
tana are preparing a test action
against the state to back up their
contention that ward Indians are
not legally subject to taxation for
state purposes. The Crows, who
are to bring the action, will be
backed up by other tribes.
also to be discussed at the
meeting here will be state con.
Torrance to the measure recently
signed by President Eisenhower
giving states authority to enforce
law and order on Indian reserva-
tiOns.
Higgins said this measure has
some provisions which some In
dian tribes wish to have changed
when the state writes its accept
ance statute, which the legislature
must enact to make the federal
law effective, will make the fed
cral statute acceptable" said
Higgins.
Atty. Gen. Arnold H. Olsen has
invited all county attorneys from
Indian counties to meet him in
Helena Aug. 81 TO discuss the
taxation matter.
Meeting with the attorneys and

 Their money-making idea is guaranteed to make French mans blood turn white, Latin's heart to limp.
 They are selling good looks and social poise for 70 cents an hour to dateless damsels.
 Calling themselves the City Wide Escort Service, they believe their business venture will prove the answer to desperate coed's prayer.
 They are available, at the pre- vailing rates, for Coke dates, dances, bridge, coffee or tea drink ing, or any social gathering at which a young lady may with to appear with an escort.
 The boys guarantee the young ladies date they will be proud of, well-mannered, well-dressed, ell-read-Well!

 Here's how their system works:
 Customers get the use of one of four cars-their choice. The first 20 miles are free and a nominal charge of three cents a mile is added thereafter. Cigarettes, the customers brand, are free. Rates start at 70 cents an hour for single dates with lower rates for double, triple or quadruple dates.

Short Creek Polygamists Get Stay Of Execution After Pleading Guilty

KINGMAN, Ariz., R-A judges angry words echoed for a lonely group of men who headed home Tuesday-to empty Short Creek, town with echoes of its own.
 The 26 leaders of the uprooted polygamy colony were given a "stay of execution" after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy.

 "A violation by any of you and the individual will be sentenced to prison"
 Legal wives will be permitted to join their husbands at Short Creek. But polygamous wives will not, on threat of legal action by the state.

Air Secretary Talbot Says US. Will Eventually Help Japan Build An Air Force

NEW ORLEANS, RAAir Secre- tary Harold Talbott said Monday the United States plans eventually to help Japan build an air force.
 Talbott's comment, contained in an address prepared for delivery to the chamber of commerce, came, probably by coincidence, on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day.
 Talbott gave no details for the plan to aid Japan.
 Talbott spoke of the huge air bases at Anchorage and Fair banks, Alaska, which serve both for defensive purposes and as staging bases for our strategic striking forces" He declared:
 "I believe our investment there is paying off right now in terms of the apprehension it must cause the Communists to see US sitting just across Boring Strait with such an array"
 Then Talbott referred to the new USAF base at Thule, Green land, as one of the most valuable of the forward bases because from this base, at the top of the world, SAC's Strategic Air Con- mandD bombers can reach any point in the Northern Hemi- sphere"
