70 Conduct Workshop
At MSU, July 1924

A new kind of student is walking
the halls of the liberal arts building
at Montana State University this
summer, according to H. V. Larom,
director of the Roundup of the Arts
program. The stockman, the old tim
er and the mountain man are coming
to see him about attending the sixth
annual writer's conference. They are
bringing him "reminiscences of Mon
tana pioneer days, stories of their
parents who came to Montana in COW
cred wagons, diaries of early times,
and short stories with pioneer west
ern backgrounds.
This interest is due, Larom says,
to the fact that J. Frank Dobie is to
handle the nOn-fiction workshop at
the conference from July 10Th,
through the oath. Dobie, who has
edited more than 20 volumes for the
Texas Folklore society, is the author
of many books about the West includ-
ing Colorado's Children, Apache Gold
and Yaqui Silver, The Voice of the
Coyote and The Mustangs. His work
during his week at the University
will include the reading of these old
diaries and stories to see whether
they can be rewritten or edited for
As the old timers disappear, it is
more important than ever, Larom
said, that these records be published
if possible. Dobie's experience in
writing and editing, plus his sym
pathy and understanding of all things
western should be of tremendous help
to those who have authentic manu-
scripts. Conferees who send manu-
scripts to the University by July
l 18th can have them read by Dobie.
Then, while attending the conference,
each registrant will have a personal
with him concerning the
and can ask questions and
get all the help possible.
During the conference sessions,
Dobie will discuss the theoretical
problems involved in publishing such
as well as give a talk in
he Music School auditorium, open
o the public.
Those wishing to attend the con-
ference and send in manuscripts
should get in touch with Larom at
he earliest opportunity, he said, be-
ause the number of manuscripts that

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LNS)-
The fight against President Eisen-
hower's order to the Atomic Energy
Commission to sign 25-year con-
tract with a private utility combine
which would supply power to IVA
has mushroomed in Congress.
Senatorial foes of the plan threat
en- to block atomic legislation and a
House foe has called for a Securities
and Exchange Commission probe.
If the administration persists in
carrying out the plan, Congress will
mot place any more discretionary
authority" in any agency headed by
Acc Chairman Lewis L. Strauss,
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) warned
Admiral Strauss has put himself
on record as opposed to Acc partici-
patton in the power business but as
favoring the controversial contract
labeled by critics one that would
make Acc a power broker" in a
move to undercut IVA.
Sen. Lister Hill DALAI, predicted
that there will be no additional legi-
Station" amending the atomic law ''if
this outrageous order is to be carried |
out" Hill charged that:
THE administration is sacrifice
ing the national defense in order
to serve the selfish interests of the
private power lobby"
LANCER JOINS DEMOCRATS
Sen. William LANCER Urn. d. /
once again displayed his rebellious
independence of the COP by joining
the Democrats attack on the con-
tract.
LANCER charged one reason for
the 25-year contract is that the
COP is afraid it will lose the 1856
elections and its wants to assure
the private power groups greedy
profits" for the next Is years.
The LANCER charge was similar to
the charge made by farm coop and
labor participants at the recent cleo
trio consumers workshop in Washing
ton, one participated in by LANCER.
These consumer group spokesman had
charged that the utilities were rush
ing to get as many grabs nailed down
as they can before the Republicans
get whipped this November and
Democratic Congress next year starts
probing the giveaways.
LANCER told the Democratic sena-
tors they could count on his aid in
opposing revision of the atomic en-
ergy law.
Meanwhile, Rep. Chef Holifield

POWER TRUST BLOCKS
LENGER'S PROBE
OF MON0POLIES

WASHINGTON, D. -UNS)-
The Senate Rules Committee last
week continued its blockade of Sen.
William Langer's Urn. d. proposed
study of the ability of the nations
anti-monopoly laws to cope with to-
days business world. 1t again re-
fused to take action on Langer's re-
quest for authorization and funds
! for his subcommittee.
In February, 1858, the LANCER
Anti-Monopoly Subcommittee of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
asked for $4,000 for its study.
Such requests must beacted upon

headed by Sen. William Jenner

mittee met and considered the re-
quest and failed to act, in effect put

the next regularly scheduled meet
ing. Congress is straining to wind up
its work and go home by mid-August
at the latest. Rules committee action
would still have to be followed by ac-
ton by the Senate itself. Time there
fore is running out.
When Congress came back this
January after failing to act all last
year, there were indications that
LANCER would get his money. He con-
tinued, as best he could, his investiga-
tions into the electric power field.
There he stepped on the toes of the
big power company tycoons as well as
the administration proprivate pow
err policy authors. They didn't like it,
The result was that Langer's re-
quest for $4,000 was buried deeper
in the rules committee. Meanwhile, |
pressure has been building up to get |
the request released. At last Jenner
decided to delay a showdown vote. |
He told the committee he was refer
ring the proposals to Attorney Gen
eral Herbert Brownell, Jr., for advice.

arm of government which
handles antitrust cases. 1t is conduct

mittee had scheduled probes into
power, oil, gas, and other indus
tries before being blocked by lack
of funds.

"pearls on the way-lions TO
follow"
Jewel experts at the smithso-
nian gave q shudder a few days
ago when they received q fine
pink pearl from His Excellency
Mohammed Ali. Prime Minister
Of Pakistan.
The unexpected gift logged
memories back to the fearful
time when another Moslern po-
tentate insisted - against the
most strenuous protests - on
sending the United States two
lions along with a gift Of pearls.
It was a look at those pearls,
now on display at the Smithso-
nian. that inspired Mohammed
Ali to make his gift--and the
curators Of the gem collection
fervently hope that's the end
of it.
It took an act Of Congress to
settle the question Of the lions
back in 1910.
An Arabian emperor, Sud
Said, Imaum of Muscat, took it
into his head in 1889 to send a
few goodwill tokens to his dear
friend. President Martin Van
Buren,.
With a shipload of pearls. gold
bars, cashmere shaWls, horses,
swords and altar of roses already
on the way to New York, the en-
peror decided to throw in a
couple Of lions. He asked the
President where the nearest
American official was.
BY the fastest return ship. the
Secretary of State told the near
est American official, the counsul
at Tangier, Morocco. to thank
his highness but explained that
public officials of this country
could not accept gifts.
"Tush," said the emperor and
sent his nephew to Tangier with
the lions.
The consul, a harried bureau

I most anxiously await your

ience."
He added. wistfully 1t seems,
"they are by far the finest ami
mails Of the kind I have ever
SEEN"
President Van Buren, submitted
Mr.. Cars plight to Congress,
which decided the only thing for
the harassed consul to do was
to put the lions on the next ship
for America.
When they arrived, they were
hastily sold to a circus and the
money given to an orphanage.
Keepers of the gem collection
at the Smithsonian are very
happy with their newest pearl.
All they hope now is that Mo-
hammed Ais gift-giving i'm
pulses are satisfied.

of the emperor's esteem for the
sultans of America"
Mr.. Carr by that time had run
out of answers and said simply
that he was determined not to
accept the gifts.
MY determination is as
strong as yours" said the
nephew grimly. II am ordered to
deliver them to you-it will cost
me my head if I disobey-I shall
leave them in the street." and
he prepared to mount a guard

He had heard rumors, said Mr.
Carr, that despite his protests,
a party was on the way from Fee,

begged the governor Of the prov
ince to stop the caravan.
The governor. a Moslem like
the Arabian emperor. said it was
out of his power to interfere
and besides. he could not under
stand the consul's attitude.
"A Moorish agent thus refus-
ing to convey a present to his
master would very justly have

added.
