One year before national prohibi-

out the saloon, after campaign loud,
lusty, hardswinging, between vets and
drys.
There were curious, puzzling, con-
tradictions as | observed them in Cut

saloons have been back for many a
year, but in all this land there's only
one legal gambling oasis, the state of

her rituals without restraint.

Maggie was an orthodox Democrat,
she supported Miss Rankin. Both had

sit in the national and state legislative
bodies. Maggie served in the lower
house of the Montana assembly for
six years.
Her biographer tells us that when
she first entered the halls Of the lower

her with a jaundiced eye. But the lady

her proposals, soon gained their friend

U. 5. Shuns U. n. Role
In New Guinea and
Cyprus Disputes
BY The Assoeiaisd Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. r., Nov.
25.-United States diplomats are
determined to stay neutral in the
bitter Dutch-Indonesian dispute
over West New Guinea. They
realize that any stand they take
could make them more foes than
friends.
American sources said the
United States intends to aostain
on any resolution growing out
OF the debate now boiling UP
in the United Nations Assembly's
60-nation Political Committee
The United States also is ex-.
pected to remain aloof from the
Greek-British dispute over Cy-
prus.
The Indonesians. who claim
that the western half Of neigh 4
boring New Guinea should have
been turned over to them at the
same time the Netherlands gave
them thcir independence five
years ago, want the U. N. to in
duce the Dutch to resume rup-
tured talks on the colony's fu-
ture status.
Called Domestic Affair.
The Dutch contend there is
no point in resuming negotia-
tions and argue that New
Guinea's future is a domestic
affair outside U. N. jurisdiction.
The United States has no de-
sire to ALLEVIATE either the Meth
erlands or Australia, which con-
trolls Eastern New Guinea. Nor
does it want the Indonesians or
their Asian allies to get the i'm
preston the Americans are back
ing the colonial powers.
At the same time, American
circles are worried lest total abb
S ention on the issue leave them
open to the charge of lacking
interest in a vital issue involving
self determination of peoples.
The Indonesians, who were
barely able to muster enough
votes to get the item included
on the Assembly agenda. appear
to have little chance Of polling
the two-thirds majority neces-
sary to clear any resolution on
a major colonial issue.
Silent on Cyprus. o.
The United States probably
also will maintain the role of the
neutral bystander when Greece
comes before the Political COM
mittee with her demand that the
island of Cyprus be allowed to
vote it's independence from Brit
ain. If the Americans take a
side on the Cyprus isstle, they
will endanger their ties either
with Greece or Britain. both

Britain, which bitterly opposed
placing the Cyprus case on the

will boycott the debate. The
