LANCER 10 Oppose
'ConiirningHarlanior for
Geographical Reason
BY he Asseeissed Press

Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota said today he viii
fight against Senate confirma-
ton of John Marshall Harlan
to the Supreme Court to point
up his protest that no justice
has ever been named from his
State and some others.
Senator LANCER, who is due
to lose his craftsmanship Of the
Senate Judiciary Committee
when the Democrats organize
the new Congress. quickly added
In an interview that he was not
''impugning the honesty or
integrity" of Judge Harlan, a
New York City jurist.
Senator LANCER has frequently
declaimed in the past about
what he terms sights to North
Dakota on high presidential ap-
pointments.
The recent Senate session took
no action on President Eisen-
hower's nomination of Judge
Harlan to succeed the late JUS
tice Robert N. jackson. Several
Senators said they wanted more
time to study his qualif1catio
but there was no announcement
of opposition and the suppose
tion has been that Judge Harlan
will be approved early next
year.
II am going to vote against
confirmation of Mr.. Harlan and
/ am going to vote against any
man who hereafter is named to
the cabinet unless that man
comes from one of seven States"
Senator LANCER said.
He listed these as Arizona,
Folrida, Idaho. Montana, Nevada,
North and South Dakota. He
said no man from these States
has ever been appointed to the
Supreme Court or to a cabinet
post.
II am asking the Senators
from those seven States to join
with me in opposition to Mr..
Harlan" Senator LANCER said.
II have no objection to Mr..
Harlan personally. It was only
a short time ago that as chair
man of the committee openly
supported and voted for Mr..
Harlan to be a member of the
Circuit Court Of Appeals in New
York"

Nobody Shot, It's Just
Shocking u. S. Accent

LONDON, Dec. Is (NANA).-
Police cars screamed through
London's old Burlington street
to the United States Air Force
Offices this week. Policemen
swarmed upstairs, demanding:
Where's the man who was
shot?" They got blank looks.
Finally the Air Force man who
had made the call for an am
bulance explained: ,''Nobody's
been shot. I said somebody's
beened shocked. It's Harry
Wood, the caretaker. He was
fixing a light socket"
The trouble, said the police,
was the American accent.

grinned, seeing Jess Hill stiffen up.
1t was Britt Weber who broke in:
''What're you talking about, false ar
reSt?''
'Jest this" Billy Nelson stepped
aside and turned the Calls branded
flank toward them. There had been
only moment; he'd had to be quick.
The brand wasn't an expert one, maybe
the shank of the small letter H was
short and the hook on the might
have been the beginning of someth-
ing else. But it wasn't. The brand
was Jess Hills connected JH, all right,
and no other.
Seems like fellow" he said, ''can't
even be neighborly around here. I saw
this calf and just figured I'd run Jess's
brand on it for him, that's ALL" He saw

crinkle of amusement start slowly
in Britt Weber's eyes.
COT COURSE" he went on, and
looked at Jess Hill again, maybe I
could hold this lawsuit off a while, if
things didn't happen around Wild Rose
any more. Maybe wouldn't even need
to tell about this in town. 1t would
sure give good laugh, though"
The big man stared down at him and
it was strange then, the way he saw
Jess Hills hard face change, with
something like a flicker of admiration
cross it as he said, kid, you're smart.
Come on, Britt" He swung his horse
away.
In moment Billy Nelson was alone
and what he had done didn't seem
smart now, either. 1t wasn't smart to
get yourself that close to the pen. He
coiled his rope and there was a new
and sober feeling inside him as he
left the little hill cove-a man riding
home to his ranch.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-08-15


w wasn't, but it sure was going to
be, young Billy Nelson decided, right
now, and got down from his saddle to
start a little fire.
Coming upon the lone calf so unex-
pectedly here in an open cove of the
hills, he had cast a quick look around
the pine-fringed ridges. Yet on the way
out of town, following his own trail
home, he had seen no one. He felt
safe.
IN A MOMENT he reached up into
his saddle pocket for spare horse
shoe, the cold kind, easily bent. A man
wasn't even supposed to carry rum
ming iron these days. That, too, was
law. Seemed like the law, Billy thought,
was always on the big fellows side,
and not much on the side of the little
fellow, like himself, who only wanted
to get start and have place of his
own.
He put one boot toe in the prongs
of the shoe and gave a yank upward
with his husky shoulders. The shoe
spread apart. He thrust one end of it
into his fire.
Squatting, waiting for the iron to heat,
he thought of Jess Hill again and
Scowl crossed his broad and usually
amiable brown face. You had to be
quick and smart to get along these
days, that's all. He had been, too,
quicker and smarter even than Jess
Hill, and that's where the trouble had
started.
That job packing grub for the gov
eminent survey gang year ago had
been only something to earn little
money, until he had heard their talk in
camp one night-how an old survey line
across this country would clean miss
Wild Rose Spring when it was cor
rected, throwing the springs forty-acre
patch of meadow grass and year around
water out into the public domain. All
these years Jess Hill had thought il
was inside his big spread of land.
FORTY ACRES wasn't much, Billy
admitted, for a fellow to start a ranch
on, but whoever controlled the spring
water, just about controlled the range
for miles around it in a dry country
like this. And now he did. He haC
been quick enough that night, getting
into town and filing claim on The
Wild Rose forty the first thing in thu
morning. In three years now, if HI
stuck and kept his residence there, he'c
own it. He'd stick, all right. Jess Hill
had tried plenty of ways to get hin
out and none of them had worked.
In the fire his iron glowed red on on
end. He roped the calf. brought
back and tipped it over. Straddling
and sitting on its shoulder he pickle
up the iron and began to draw hi
rounded letter Rocking N brand on il

flank. The iron slipped easily over
the short hair. The calf bawled a
little and then was quiet.
He had finished the N and was just
beginning on the rocker underneath,
when he saw something. His eyes had
stopped on one of the Calls hind hoofs.
AT the same time, in front of him, his
pony lifted its head with alert black
tipped ears swinging and pointing.
They were pointing at something on
the ridge, Billy saw, behind his back.
He didn't look around. His gloved
hand gripped the hot iron again; and
then there was only moment before
he heard a thudding rush of horses
toward him.
STILL WITHOUT looking in that di-
rection he let the calf get up and was
standing beside it, holding onto the
rope around its neck, when the rush
stopped, close.
''An right. That's all I need!" The
voice that was Jess Hills snapped out
with grim satisfaction. ARREST him,
Britt" That meant Jess had brought
the sheriff, Britt Weber.
Billy Nelson turned around then. He
pushed his hat back on his rusty hair
and Squinted up at Jess Hills hard,
gray-whiskered face.
''Jess,' he said, you're a ring-tailed
skunk. If it's the last thing say, I'm
sure going to tell you that. You can't
get me any other way and so you sneak
a plant on me. You know use this
trail home every afternoon. And this
here's more likely my calf than not.
1 need my calf crop, so 1 brand it,
just like you wanted"
''Not yours, kid, either" Hill said.
ST notched a hoof. The sheriff here
can testify 1 cut that notch on one Of
mine"
''Sure you did! So now all you need
is to see that 1 get a couple of years
for this and you get my Wild Rose
claim because I won't be residen
there. If that amt a Skunky trick, yol
tell me one!" Billy moved his eyes tt
Britt Weber and saw the sheriff didn'
look so happy about this. He was |
small old man and a fair one. Brit
would have to go by the law.
''You going to arrest me?" Bill
asked.
'Guess I'll have to-" Britt Webe
said.

"Guess you are"

Simpson Moy Get 4th Star,
Thanks to q Fellow Texan

Through some Army admin

didn't get the fourth star when
he retired. Through some con-
gressional snafu. special legis-
lation that would have given
Gen. Simpson and several other
generals a fourth star was bot

Letter to SaltOnstall.
If Senator johnson has his
way, as he often does. the leg
islation will be unbottled. After
hearing of, Gen. Simpsons wish.
the Senator got off letter to
Chairman Saltonstall of the
Armed Services Committee say
ing:
This bill would only pay a
fitting-though belated tribute
to Gen. Simpson and other
men who served our Nation in
the moment of its greatest need.
It seems to me that the very
least we can do for them is to
award them the same military
rank as other officers who
served in the same capacities.
I'VE can never adequately re-
pay their services, but we
should recognize-and I think
we must--the great debt which
we owe to them"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-04-11

That wish of 1t. Gen. William
H. Simpson, the commander of
the American 9th Army in Eu-
rope in World War II, for a
fourth star may be on its way
to coming true.
If it doesn't come true. it
won't be the fault of Senator
Lyndon Johnson, the Texas DEM
ocrat and member Of the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
Senator johnson got busy on
the matter after an Associated
Press story came to his attention
saying that Gen. Simpson, now
in retirement at San Antonio,
had wound up a long and illus
trious Army career with only one
regret.
Headed Army Of $4,000.
That regret was that he never
received a fourth star, as full
general. although he commanded
an Army of $4,000 men and was
recognized as one of this coun-
try's ablest field commanders.
You know, that fourth star
wouldn't have cost anybody a
cent" Gen. Simpson was quoted
as saying. Three stars or four.
