Pentagon Plans More Reduction In Armed Forces

WASHINGTON, R-The Pent- agon is planning further reduc- ton in the nations military man power, with the bulk of the cut coming in Army ranks.
 Secretary of Defense Wilson told newsmen Wednesday night the total strength of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force would be something less than the figure of 3,047 900 at which it had been planned previ- ously to level off in the fiscal year starting next July l.
 Wilson declined to give specific figures.
 When the Korean fighting halt ed year and half ago, military manpower strength was about 3,558,000. Then a slow, steady cutback was started. Until We'd nesday, the program apparently was aimed at reducing the force to 3,047,0O0, of which 1,173,OO0 would be in the Army, and main taining it there for an indefinite period.
 Wilson said the new overall re- duction in personnel would occur "principally" in the Army. The other cuts obviously will occur in the Marine Corps and Navy The Air Force, expanding to unit strength of 137 wings from a pres ent size of ll9, will add to its manpoWer. Present strength of the Marine Corps is about 221 ,OOO; of the Navy, 702,000.

Safe Driving Day Held A Success in Reducing Number of Traffic Deaths
(BY THE AssoCIATED PREss)

tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
 Safe Driving Day was termed a success Thursday and standard for the future.
 The evaluation was made by the chief officer of the group which sponsored SD Day as a one-day nationwide effort to make a substantial reduction in traffic accidents.
 An Associated Press survey showed that 48 motor vehicle fa- talities were recorded Wednesday which was the nations first Safe Driving Day.
 The National Safety Council figures that for each fatality there are 35 injuries and 225 accidents. The fatality toll thus indicates there were 1880 cases of injury and l0,800 accidents on SD Day.
 On Dec Is, 1853, there were 60 deaths, and on Dec l of this year there were GA deaths. During the first 10 months of this year traffic accidents averaged about 27,OOO a day.

No Crime for Man
 To Slap Woman in Return, New York Judge Rules

NEW YORK, Eff a woman slaps man, he can slap her back.
 So ruled Magistrate William E. Ringel Wednesday in dismissing assault charges brought against Willis Van Nosdall, 36, by Mrs. Lee Noble, 26.
 She claimed Van Nosdall hit back after she slapped him dur ing an argument in a restaurant.
 Asserting no one would bring assault charges if a man struck back at another, the magistrate asked if a man had the right to hit back at woman.
 II suppose the courtiers of the Victorian Age. would say no,' he said. But as a matter of law, we can say the sexes are equal, with equal treatment for all seves. think the same rule has to apply in this case. Charge dismissed"

forced. While cost may have been more
or less, the summary indicates that
work can easily be done for these
amounts and in most cases, less.
Paid For in Savings
The summary shows that $500 acres
of land were reclaimed and 9,1OO acres
were saved from water logging. The
value of this land, plus miscellaneous
savings, was $2,628, OO0 Let us just take
this away from the $50 million invest
ment, to start WITH because it repre-
SentS a cash value recovery from the
investment. This leaves $47, 49,, 900 to
be recovered from annual savings. The
canal Innings saved FOG 900 acre feet of
water annually valued at $780, 900.
The reduction in maintenance cost each
year is estimated at $660,0O0 so total
annual saving of $2,269,OOO should be
realized each year.
This saving would pay the original
cost in a little over 20 years. The lin
ing should last for 40 years of service,
since most of it is concrete. This would
certainly leave a comfortable margin
for interest on the investment.
AS l see it, the only catch in these
calculations is the value of water when
it comes to making an application to
Montana projects. An acre foot of wa
ter, as such in Montana, doesn't seem
to have any value. Only the facilities
and/or right to use water have value
in Montana. In other words, most of
the irrigated farms in Montana either
have plenty of water or none. Storage
project organizations usually oblige the
farmer for plenty of water, and charge
him whether he uses it or not. Farmers
using decreed water usually have plen-
ty as long as their right is good, and
have none after that
Under this system, it is difficult to
capitalize on the saving of water re-
sulting from lining canal in Montana.
We can capitalize on the saving of land
and the reduction in maintenance costs.
In many cases the canal could be made
to serve many more acres if the seep-
age and careless use were eliminated.
This has no great appeal either at the
present time, with plenty of irrigated
land available at reasonable prices and
periodic farm SURPRISES still common.
Water Not Unlimited
The thing we should recognize and
give serious consideration to is that wa
ter is not an unlimited resource even
In Montana. Every year more and
more use is being made of it. More
people are pumping, more dams being
built, more canals being dug, more land
being leveled for new irrigation, and
increased population requires more wa
ter for municipal and domestic use. AS
long as a surplus exists, it may be ever
so small and nobody is concerned. When
tiny shortage occurs, it is magnified
many times.
One fine day Montana will declare
water to be in short supply and there
will be a scramble for it. Then the
people who drained their land may also
have to line their canals to protect
themselves. The law regarding bene-
fetal use of water will be scrutinized
very closely. Lawyers may have no
end of trouble when they try to make
Overirrigation and careless use of water
look like beneficial use.
Probably the most common reason for
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-11-15
Irrigation

should be done about seeped lands. 1t
seems nearly every irrigation project
soon develops some of these wet land
problems. In areas where the soils
carry no injurious chemicals the farm
ers simply change to wet land crops,
and continue to use the land and grippe
about the situation. Here the question
is one of whether the cost of drainage
or retaining is worth the chips, be-
cause the land is still producing.
Where alkai salts have been deposit
ed near or at the soil surface by seep-
age, the land is rendered useless and
is more difficult to reclaim. Here again
comes the question, Is it worth drain
age and reclamation? The cost is high
and something like paying for second
irrigation system. It usually turns out
that when the situation gets bad enough
and begins to hurt enough people deep
ly, that drainage is undertaken It is
usually matter of saving the money
already invested
Everyone who knows anything about
irrigation will expect a certain amount
of seepage from the canals. 1t would
seem the wise thing would be to study
the soil through which the canals will
run and avoid porous, gravelly areas
or seal these sections while they are
being constructed. The cost would prob
ably be less at that time, and water and
land would be saved right from the
start.
Is Canal Lining Effective?
No doubt every reclamationist has
often wondered if canal lining was
sound solution to the seepage problem.
1t has seldom been used in Montana, but
has become quite popular in other
states. The Bureau of Reclamation re-
ports in a publication entitled Canal
! Lining that since 1916 the canal lining
they have installed has actually re-
claimed $500 acres of land and pre-
vented seepage on about 9, 100 acres of
land.
The results of most of the studies
| have reviewed seem to indicate that
the major causes of seepage in Mon
tana are canals and careless use of
water or overirrigation If this is true,
then the logical remedy would seem to
lie in the direction of removing the
causes.
When these causes have been estab-
lished and the water users decide to
drain, rather than line canals and prac-
tice efficient water use, it would seem
that the motive is wrong. In other
words, why should drainage be done,
if seepage can be stopped or prevented
at reasonable cost.
The only large-scale study for which
figures are available, that 1 know of,
is the work done by the Bureau of Rec
lamation Let's take a look at these
figures. In 1916, the Bureau started
work to test materials which would low.

Curran is presiding.
DR.. Peckham was convicted
on the abortion charge in June,
1852. but the conviction was
set aside by the U. S. Court
OF Appeals for the District
OF Columbia. The appellate
court then remanded the case
to the lower court.
Intervention Cited.

heard the appeal were con-
vinced that "the excessive in
lection of the trial judge Judge

earlier trial of the case was
Dorsey K. Offutt.
DR.. Peckham is being defended
at the present trial by Attorney
Albert j. AEern, jr. Assistant
United States Attorney Arthur j.
Mclaughlin is prosecuting.
DR. Peckham has been ac-
quilted in four other abortion
trials. His most recent acquittal
was in October, 1852, when he
won a Judgment of acquittal
from Judge Curran. In that case
the woman complainant and an
Army major had refused to

New Trial Is Grained
JeIke Due 10 Ban on
Press and Public
BY the Assorioisd Press

NEW YORK. May 1S.-The
conviction of Mipot F. Mickey
Jelke, oleomargarine heir. on
compulsory prostitution charges
was thrown out today because
press and public were excluded
from parts of his sensational trial
here last year. Jelke was
granted a new trial.
The appellate division of the
State Supreme Court, in a 3-2
ruling, held that the exclusion
of press and public deprived
Jelke Of a "fair and impartial
trial"
District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan announced he would ap-
peal the ruling higher, If pos
sible. He declined any COM
ment concerning q retrial.
Attorneys for Jelke expressed
belief that higher courts would
uphold the decision Of the ap-
pelate division.
Sensational Trial.
The trial of the 24-year-old
heir was one Of the most sensa-
tional in New York in many
years, and featured testimony by
expensive call girls.
However, their testimony was
given behind closed courtroom
doors because the trial judge,
Evening star., 1954-05-18

Francis L. valente. felt it would
endanger public morals.
Press coverage was limited to
what reporters could pick up
from witnesses, attorneys and
others in the courthouse corri-
dorS.
Jelke eventually was convicted
on two counts of compulsory
prostitution and was sentenced
to three to six years on each.
He also was sentenced to eight
months in the city's workhouse
on charges of illegal possession
of guns. He was freed last Oc-
tober 6.
He has been free on bail pend
ing his appeal Of the vice case.
Closed to Press and Public.
Jelke's trial in New York Gen.
eral Sessions Court was closed
to press and public during pres
entation of the States case.
1t was disclosed, however, that
Jelke was pictured by the prose-
cution as a free-living young
man who couldn't live within
his allowance, bat led girls into
prostitution to increase his in
come.
In reversing Jelke'S conviction.
the majority Of the appellate
court said:
1T becomes apparent that to
place in the hands of any court
the power in q criminal trial to
close the doors of a courtroom
during the presentation of the
case of one party and open it
when the other party under-
takes to present his case creates
a situation that should not be
tolerated"
