MORE EFFECTIVE control of big
game numbers in Montana, continual
ton of wool tariff at present level and
increased appropriations for livestock
research agencies in Montana were
among recommendations stressed in
resolutions adopted by the Montana
Wool Growers at their annual conven-
ton, Helena, Nov. IS and 10.
A. C. Grande, Lennep, was re-
elected president of the association.
Mrs. Melvin Bartz, Barber, was elected
president of the Wool Growers Auxil-
larry, succeeding Mrs. Frank Fulton,
Plevna.
Winner of the make 1t Yourself with

with the convention was Mrs. Beverly
Dee Young, MiSsoula, in the senior
division. Phyllis Brown, Custer, was
winner in the junior division. These
state winners will compete in the ma

Wool Growers Association convention
to be held in Salt Lake City, Dec. SO.
In its resolution on big game the as

are completely out of balance and
called for legislation under which the
Montana Fish and Game Commission

MoNTANA's PROGRESS

0 On May IA, 1881, the railroad first
entered the territory of Montana. On
that date, the Northern Pacific, build
ing west from Carlton, Minnesota,
crossed the North Dakota line at
Wibaux (then known as Beaver.) The
Northern Pacific was also building
eastward from Kalama, Washington
and on September 8, 1883, near his
toric Gold Creek, Montana citizens
and national celebrities witnessed the
driving of the last spike joining the
east and west.
Six years later, the Great Northern
Railway, building west from Minot,
North Dakota, reached Great Falls.
A year later the road was extended
to Helena.
The coming of the railroads gave
Montana access to eastern markets
and greatly speeded the development
of Montana's rich resources.

wheat producers is needed in the job
of measuring wheat acreage under the
allotment and marketing quota pro-
grams, state ASC officials point out.
Measurement, required on some $1,000
wheat-growing farms in the state, will
be a tremendous job to do in limited
time, officials say.
It's expected that all farms will be
measured soon enough to permit county
ASC offices to send letters out to over
seeded producers, advising them of the
options and the deadline date for dispos-
ing of excess wheat acreage.
But any producer who thinks he is
overseeded might be wise to turn his
extra acres over to green manure,
hay, pasture or silage as soon as posi-
BILE, and not wait for measurement.

Eleven years ago, in 1913, 10000 farmers of
Montana and 5 other Northwest states pooled
their resources through their local co-ops and
bought an oil refinery at Laurel, Montana The

Halls Red Security Plan
BY the Asseeiosed Pres.

MOSCOW, April 26.-Premier
Georgi Malenkov spoke out to-
day in behalf of the Soviet
sponsored European security
proposal turned down by the
Western Big Three at the Berlin
foreign ministers conference.
Addressing the Supreme Sow
let (parliament), he condemned
the projected 6-nation European
Defense Community as reviv-
ing German militarism. AS For
eign Minister v. M. Molotov did
in Berlin. he offered the Soviet
security plan as a counter pro-
posal to the EDO.
AS Mr.. Molotov outlined it,
that plan would cover 80 ma
tions both East and West. He
did not name the nations en-
visaged as members. but pro-
vided for the exclusion Of Ger
many.
The Soviet Union proposed in
a note March 81 that the United
States sit in on this gathering
and that Russia become a mem

and perhaps overrun the be-
sieged French garrison.
For Korea, the west was likely
to propose British-drawn plan
which the Communists were al
most certain to reject. Reported
ly it would provide:
l. Free elections for a central
government as the basis for uni
f1cation of Korea.
2. Withdrawal of all foreign
troops over a period of several
years.
3. The United Nations, chiefly
the Big Four, and Communist
China to guarantee the security
of a reunited Korea.
Red CounterpropOsal Seen.
The Communists were expected
to come up with a counterpro-
posal calling for foreign troops to
leave first, then all-Korean
elections arranged to give the
Reds control. The West was just
as certain to reject that.
Chief conference interest CEN
tered on Red China's Chou En-
lai, making his debut on the
East-West diplomatic stage. Pei
ping sent a delegation to the
United Nations in New York in
1850 but he was not along. Most
Western delegates expected
Mr.. Molotov to let Mr.. Chou
take the lead in the debate on
Asian problems, as a further
move in Russia's campaign to
win the Peiping regime a more
widespread acceptance abroad.
An authoritative source said
Mr.. Dulles planned to stay in
Geneva for only week or 10
days, then would leave Under
secretary of State Walter Bedell
Smith to take over for him.
Mr.. Eden and Mr.. Bidault also
were expected to leave soon after

Of the Western Big Three preside
on the opening day and one of
the Communist countries on the
second day.
He added that Mr.. Eden then
suggested that it be handled on
a three-day rotation basis with
either Canada or Thailand serv-
ing along with Russia and one of
the Western big powers. Mr.: Mol
otov offered no objection and the
matter was arranged with the
otheps to have Russia, Britain
and Thailand preside.
Thus it happened" the Soviet
spokesman said, that this very
difficult question which the whole
world regarded as insoluble was
easily settled on the basis of
Mr.. Molotov's proposal"
Disagreement on Speaker.
The Soviet spokesman said
North Korean Foreign Minister
Nam II would be the first
speaker at tomorrow's session
and that South Korean Foreign
Minister Pyun Yung Tai would
follow him. Mr.. Molotov pro-
posed Gen. Nam II as the first
speaker, he said, and his pro-
posal was accepted without
opposition.
"Thus this question also was
successfully solved, thanks to a
proposal of the Soviet delegate"
he added.
British and French briefing
officers said, however, the South
Korean foreign minister was the
only delegate to ask for the
floor tomorrow. Others might
ask after the meeting starts,
they added. A South Korean
spokesman also said Mr.. Pyun
would be the first speaker.
There was no suggestion as to
when Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai of Red China would
speak.
The Soviet spokesman quoted
Mr.. Eden as saying the confer
ence had gotten off to a good
beginning and added:

Defendant 10 Seek
Juvenile Court Trial
In Lindstedt Ki||inu,

Defense counsel for one of the
youths charged with homicide
in the sidewalk Staying of ex-
Marine William j. Lindstedt
today sought to have his client
tried in Juvenile Court.
Attorney B. Michael Landes-
man prepared a motion for fill
ing in Juvenile Court asking the
court not to waive its jurisdic-
ton over Isaac L. White, colored,
l8. White was II at the time
the crime was committed last
December.
Mr.. Landesman said White
denies the crime. Police have
said White admitted being with
William D. HOWE, colored, II,
in front of the Covered Wagon
Restaurant on Fourteenth street
when Mr.. Lindstedt was shot.
Police said both White and
HOWE have said Howie fired the
fatal bullet.
Police received Juvenile Court
permission last Friday to lodge
both youths in District Jail pend
ing a decision on whether they
will be tried as juveniles or adults.
A formal police recommendation
for Juvenile Court to waive juris-
diction was to be forwarded to
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill today.
In his motion, Mr.. LandeSman
asked the judge for an opportu-
nifty to appear before her to ar
que against a waiver of jurisdic-
ton. He said he wanted to offer
compelling testimony" as to why
the waiver should be rejected.
Mr.. Landesman told a reporter
he had conferred lengthily yes
terday with White, who told him
he had tried to prevent the
shooting.
A corners inquest into the
death, originally scheduled for
today. was postponed until Fri
day at 1870 am. because Mr..
Landesman is tied up in another
case.

anime it in the light of it's own
strategic interests in Southeast
Asia. If these seem to be jeopar-
died an attempt would be made
to persuade the French against
signing. It it failed, the United
States could renounce its part
in the affair and preserve it's
own freedom of action for the
future.
Perhaps this is the best that
can be made out of the present
situation. But by any standard it
adds up to a feeble position at
the opening of what promises to
be critical international confer
ence. At Geneva today, with
the whole future of the East
West struggle at stake. one must
face up to the depressing fact
that the other team holds most of
the honors.

Questioned about the reported

before his departure for Geneva:
"You understand that, because
Of the critical situation wherein
the defenders of Diem Bien Phu
find themselves, everything
should be tried to bring them
aid"
This was taken as a sure sign
Mr.. Laniel's government was
asking Britain and America for
some new kind of war aid.
Bao Dai Balks at Plan.
On the political front, Chief
Bao Dai Of the French-sponsored
Wet Namese government. gave
his French sponsors a major
slap. He announced yesterday
he would not sign the treaties
his government has been nego-
iating with the French for Wet
NameSe independence.
The French had hoped to pre-
sent the treaties at the Geneva
conference as an answer to crit
icism that they are trying to
preserve their colonial hold on
the rich Far Eestern colony.
Bao Dai's statement said there
had been too much talk about
partitioning Wet Nam at Geneva
and about negotiations with the
Wet Mini rebels. A French
communique expressed official
"astoniShment" at his action and
said the treaties cast not the
slightest doubt on the unity and
independence Of Wet Nam.
Bal Dai said neither he nor
his government will admit any
right to break up the unity of
the country" he added:
"Viet Nam could not accept
the possibility of negotiations in
which France, contrary to the
principles of the French Union
which France itself proclaims,
could deal with the rebels against
the Wet Nam nation or with
powers hostile to it, leaving her
associates outside, witnesses to
the sacrifice"
Observers at the gathering
Asian conference in Geneva
viewed the negotiations there as
Mr.. Laniel's last hope of re-
naming in Office. They felt that
if Mr.. Bidault failed to get the
do-China fighting stopped in
his talks with the Chinese Reds,
the French National Assembly
would plump to a government
that would promise to negotiate
directly and quickly with Wet

Dulles Prefers Floor Duty.
An American spokesman said
MIR. Dulles preferred not to serve
as chairman in order to keep
himself free for matters which
might arise on the conference
floor.
AS the delegates gathered at
the Palace of Nations for the
opening session, the Western Big
Three and the Soviet Union al
ready were spnt far apart over
the Kremlin's inSistence that
the Peiping regime be seated as
a fifth major rOwer.
The United States was ready
to walk out and break the con-
ference rather than agree.
Mr.. Bidault had been held
in the French capital until
the last minute by the stead
lily worsening military situa-
ton at the besieged Indo-C China
fortress of Dien Bien Phu and
Wet Namese Chief of State Bao
Dai's bombshell announcement
last night that he would not
sign a French-sponsored inde-
pendence treaty for his state.
Mr.. Bidault, in a statement on
arrival at the Geneva station,
bitterly assailed the Wet Mini
rebels in 1ndo-C China, and by
implication the Chinese Com
munists supplying them with
war materials and the latter's
Russian sponsors at the confer
ence here.

France May Seek Priority.
Though it had been under
stood generally that the confer
ence would take up Korea first,
the grave military situation of
the French Union forces at Dien
Bien Phu raised the possibility
that France might seek priority
for the Indo- Chinese war.
The Americans were under
stood to be ready to back the
French in this. But there ap-
peared little likelihood the Com
munists would go along. Any de-
lay in the start of such negotia-
tions would give Red Wet Mimi
leader Ho Chi Mimi that much
longer to consolidate his mill
tary gains at Dien Bien Phu

ment that American troops may

by Mr.. Nixon's statement.
Urges Red Guarantees.
Mr.. Roosevelt in a broadcast
speech over IA New York sta
tions asked Secretary of State
Dulles to propose at Geneva:
l. Withdrawal of French and
the Communist forces" with
Communist guarantees against
future aggression in Indo- China. :"
2. Creation of u. N. trustee
ship to be maintained until
economic and political stability
are restored and the people are
in a position to govern them
selves. !"
In a news letter to constitu-
ents Mr.. Bentley wrote:
;. If there is no other way
to keep China from going
Communist I think the Presi-
dent would ask Congress for the
necessary authority Ito send
American troops there) and
moreover, I think he would get
it,"
Mr.. Bentley-one of five House
members wounded by Puerto

newsmen his opinion was based
only on newspaper reports. He
said he had no inside informa-
ton"
Opposes Intervention.
Senator Mansfield, speaking
on a CHS television program,
said he strongly opposes Ameri-
can Intervention in the Indo-
China war.
The best solution, he said,
would be for France to offer in
dependence to Indo- China by a
certain date. That would give
the Indo-Chinese people a new
will to fight, he said.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
OF Minnesota, said on a Dumont
TV show that the French are
able to carry on the war at
present without American man
power.
What is needed, he said, is

for 1ndo-China."
