COPS Take Aim On Two Demo Candidates
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Republicans took aim at two Democratic candidates last night and sought to link one with Com munism, the other with a New York waterfront scandal.
 These developments came on the eve of President Eisenhower's s departure from Washington for a two-day talking and politicking tour of Connecticut and New York.
 A "nonpartisan'' Eisenhower address tonight at a New York celebration marking the 300th an niversary of the founding of the Jewish faith in America will be broadcast nationally on TV and radio.
 Sen. Irving M. Ives, COP can didate for governor of New York, accused Averell Hartman, his Democratic-Liberal opponent, of being involved in reported $25O,0OO pier lease payoff in the mid-1920's.
 Hartman replied by repeating a denial given under oath at the time to a federal grand jury.
 Target for the other Volley was Glen H. Taylor, Democratic Sen ate candidate in Idaho who was the Progressive party's nominee for vice president in 1948.
 The Senate Internal Security subcommittee, headed by Sen. Jenner R-Ind), released sworn testimony by two men who said Taylor and Henry A. Wallace, the Progressive presidential candi- date, knew the party was Con- munist- when they ag- reed to head its ticket.
 Both witnesses said they didn't believe Taylor or Wallace were Communists.
 In Idaho, Taylor commented, "If there were any Communists in the Progressive party, I never recognized them as such. He chal- lenged the subcommittee to get his statement under oath.

Italian Premier Wins Vote of Confidence in Trieste Agreement

ROME, R-A brawling Cham Der of Deputies gave Premier Mario Scelba a 295-265 vote of confidence today on Italy's ag- reement with Yugoslavia for the division of the Trieste territory.
 Fights between Communists and Scelba's coalition government supporters broke up the session twice and it was nearly dawn before the vote was taken. Six deputies and five ushers were in jured in the fighting.
 The fisticuffs started when Christian Democrat Deputy Gui- scope Togni accused the Commit nists of serving another nation other than Italy" and of having among their number "a lot of for mer fascist spies." The Commun- ists members charged from their benches and grappled with ushers in an effort to reach Togni.

Democratic Senate Will Be Able To Override VetOs
By the Associated Press,

H. J. Lannen's narrow up again, down again lead for territorial Labor Commissioner slipped be- low the 200 mark again today on additional scattered returns from Alaska's election of a week ago.
 His lead over Henry Benson, the Republican holder of the of flee, dropped from 237 to 174 on the basis of handful of small precinct reports from the 1st and 2nd Divisions.
 The unofficial tally for 234 of the territory's 264 precincts was: Lannen, former Cordova fisher mans union agent, 12,434; Ben son, the longtime incumbent, 12,260.
 The missing small precincts are scattered generally throughout the territory and there appeared little chance Of Benson catching up before the opening the ab- sentee ballots next week.
 There will be several hundred absentee ballots to be counted in the official canvass. There were nearly 700 in the 1852 election, but the figure is likely to be smaller this time. The 1st Divi- ision's 173 absentee ballot total is only half of what it was two years ago.
 The 2nd Division remained the only one in which legislative races are not definitely settled.
 Two Democrats, Beltz and Eos ter, continued to hold their leads for the two Division Senate seats and two Democrats, Fagerstrom and Bronson, appeared the win ners of two of the three House seats. Edith Bullock, Republican, is assured the other seat.
 If the final count coincides with the present standings, the election result for the Legislature on a territory-wide basis would be:
 Senate -9 Democrats elected; no Republicans. Holdovers who were elected for four-year terms in 1852; 4 Republicans and 3 Democrats.
 House-21 Democrats and Re- publicans elected.
 Nine newly elected Democratic senators and the three holdovers will give the party more than enough to override any vetoes by the Republican-appointed gover- nor - provided the Democratic ranks stand solid, which probably would be doubtful in many cases. Eleven senators are required to override a veto so the Democratic majority would have the power if it didn't lose more than one of its members. The holdover Demo- cratic senators include Marcus Jensen of Douglas and Howard Lyng of Nome, who haven't seen eye-to-eye with the party major ity on many issues in the past. >rxv~

FIatheadFindChanges
Idea Of Rockies Age

Find of an ancient antelope
tooth and fossil remains of mouse
like squirrels in rock up the Flat
head rivers North Fork in Canada
is changing concept of the age of
the Rocky mountains.
Back in the Flathead this week
was DR.. Loris Russell with Mrs.
Russell. Former University of Tor
onto geology professor, he is now
chief zoologist for the National
Museum of Canada.
DR.. Russell spent the summers
of 1850 and 1852 in the primitive
Fernie section of British Columbia
up the Flathead's North Fork. His
fossil finds indicated that the
great earth movement that made
the Rockies occurred in the late
Eocene and Oligocene periods of
the early Tertiary instead of in
the earlier Cretaceous age.
In terms of time, this meant
about 35,000,000 years ago instead
of from 60,000,000 to 70,000,000.
The Rockies are young as noun
tains go. ~ -3a7.4sg !;
Biologists didn't dispute the
Russell finds of fossils imbedded
in folded rock that Belonged to
the early Tertiary. indicating that
this particular uplfft of the Rock
les was virtually, half the. age as
previously supposed. However, the
issue now is whether this was part
of the main, or a subsidiary up
heaval of the earth's crust.
The front of the upheaval is the
Lewis overthrust readily noticed
in Glacier National Park where
the mountains have pushed them
selves for as much as Is miles out
onto the prairie.
The Russells are spending the
of 1854 in British Colum-
bia working east from Vancouver
looking for fossils that help fix
geologic history of an area.
On the way west, DR.. Russell
was checking into differences of
song sparrows for one of his col
leagues. 1t appears that these
small birds up the Flathead's North
Fork are the same as those just |
east of the Rockies, but that song
sparrows so miles west in the |
