New Meet Standards
Expected in Distance
Runs, vauIi, Sprinis
By Bill Fuchs

SOME Oh tile WUIlu Top CEack
stars Will gather at the National
Guard Armory Saturday night
for the eighth annual Star
Games, with the result that sew
eral meet records are expected
to fall and in some events world
marks are in serious jeopardy.
1t is like singing out individu-
al stars on a clear night in the
country. but among those bring
ing top regulations to the meet
are Wes Santee. Bob Richards,
Don Laz, Horace Ashenfelter. Art
Bragg. Fred wilt, Bob McMillen.
Gunnar Nielsen. John Bennett,
Herm Wyatt and Jack Davis.
These and others-like Mere
dith Gourdine, Victor Fritts. Lou
Jones. Eeles Landstrom. Hagnar
Lundberg and Joe LaPierre-
make this the biggest track spec
tacle ever staged in this area.
In the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce mile. perhaps the top
event, Santee, the American mile
record holder who now ranks No.
in the world. almost assuredly
will make a shambles Of the
meet record Of 4:l3.4. set last
year by Len Truck.
Plenty Of Competition.
This does not give the tall.

tion-free. There are those who
think McMillen. clocked in the
same time as Josy Barthel, the
winner, while taking second In
the Olympic 1,500-meter race In
1852. will beat Santee. And there
Is no counting out Nielsen, the
Danish champion ranked just
behind Santee on the world list.
The others, Of course. will be
running for the honor Of beating
Santee. Gil Dodds' 4:05.3 indoor
record may be broken.
The once private feud between
Richards and Lag IN the pole
vault no longer is private. Rich
ards, the pastor Of the Church
Of the Brethren In Long Beach,
Calf. Is ranked No. ! In the
world, Laz Is No. 2, Lundberg Of
Sweden is No. 5 and Earl Poucher
Of Florida is No. 9. Thus, with
four Of the worlds six best
vaulters competing. the meet
record Of 15-feet-3, set by Lag
three years ago. should be bet
tered and the world indoor mark
Of 15-feet-812, set by the great

each other. although others In
the field, such as Vic Milligan Of

Ashenfelter, winner Of the
1853 Sullivan Award for his great
performance in beating out

chants asked no bond.
Winter Coming
We made the drive across Bridger
Pass, through upper Shields River ba-
sin, down the gravelly benches of the
MusSelShell and through the Judith
Gap in four days The towering peaks
of the Crazies and the numbered ridges
of the Belts and Snowies were covered
with snow Winter was creeping down.
We had to make speed We found
no settlement till we reached Spring
Creek in the Judith Basin. AS we rolled
over the grassy benches at the foot
of the Snowy Mountains, my partner
said, Here's where some day will be

Look at that grass waving like grain

There were few buffalo left as COM
pared to former days, but their trails
to water were everywhere. Our days
were from .'can to can't with four-hour
shifts of night herd between. We were
young and able and very much in earn
est. Earliest dawn saw us rolling on
the trail each day. Our stock held up
well on the rich pasture and light feeds
of oats in nosebags, SO we made good
mileage with our light loads over the
dry solid ground AT Spring Creek we
found a new settlement of Breeds and
'Canucks'.
To pick up the rest of Gottscholk's
freight we turned east over the ridge
between the Judiths and Snowies. We
found well travelled wagon trail here,
leading east sThose weren't iron tires

came ghost towns.
We freighters suffered with the rest.
There was little to haul and little cash
to pay for that hauling. The territory's
population dropped to a few thousand.
Gone were the days when could pull
into Virginia City with three ox-drawn
wagons and sell apples and potatoes
from Utah Valley in few hours time
at unheard of prices. I gave up freight
ing and took up homestead in Gal
latin Valley. My partner took up a
claim next to mine and we shared our
few tools, implements and machines to-
gether.
We needed more machinery, breeding
stock and capital. To finance ourselves
we decided to return for a time to the
hard life of freighting, by using mules
and horses to make better time. We
would haul from the Missouri River
ports to the growing valley settlements,
making quick trips and using our ranch
work stock, of which we had enough to
draw four wagons and camp trailer.
We Took the Job
So when Sam Tilton, the merchant
prince of Bozeman, offered us six tons
to haul from the mouth of the MusseI-
shell, we took him up. Perry Meadow,
the miller and the cOmmandant of Fort
Ellis, offered to take up our remaining
tonnage. But this was one-way freight,
and when Gus Gottscholk, the Indian
trader, offered us haulage of two wagon
loads of robes and a load of beaver
and wolf pelts, baled, we bought an
other string of mules and a freight
wagon to haul the pelts and robes from
lis port on Mcdonnell Creek, as well.
This would necessitate detour, but
would pay us well, as Gus also had
reight on the steamer tied up at the
mouth of the Musselshell, waiting for
reight. 1t had been dry season and
he steamer could not make the trip
o Fort Benton but tied up at Mussel-
;hell to unload and to take up such
reight as might be offered. But she
could not afford to wait much longer.

We divided the Army freight, putting
it in the bottoms of each wagon. By

We asked the lieutenant if we could
turn out with the cavalry troop under
guard so we could get some rest and
needed sleep, but he said it was against
orders to take civilian stock into the
troop mounts. "Could we then have
two troopers detailed to mount guard
with us by shifts?"

From his post on Mcdonnell Creek
we turned due north over roadless sage
plains and ridges. On Box Elder Creek
we saw evidence of great herds of buff
falo. The ground was freshly rooted up
where they had horned and wallowed
after drinking in the clear pools. Their
trails from feed to water were land
marks. ''Where are they now" asked
Eli.

of it. We Travelled over great stretches
of powdery black earth mostly with
out even sagebrush, over grassy slopes
and shimmering 'dobe flats, over high
ridges covered with open stands of yell

lands were alive with antelope, deer,
a few elk and some mountain sheep.
There was no wagon trail till we
neared the Musselshell's mouth.
On to the Missouri
Two days travel from Gus's post saw
us rolling down the long grassy slopes
of Sacajawea Creek, later to be called
Crooked Creek, by the cowboys. Pity
it was so. The brave little Indian wom-

saw steamboat smoke on the still dis

France, who almost died from
food poisoning in Moscow.
The war caught him in south
ern France, where in due course.
he ran into trouble with the au-
thorities. On one occasion, Mr..
Faure escaped arrest by the Ges-
tapo by absent-mindedly missing
the train that the Germans were
watching In 1942 he escaped
with his family to North Africa
and held a number of minor
posts in the provisional govern
ment.
To pass the time, he took up
a new hobby-writing detective
stories. His two published works
have been described as unusual,
complete with bogus crimes and
corpses who died accidentally.
Mr.. Faure explains: "As a lawyer,
I ran into many more takers
than murderers."
After the war, he served
briefly under Mr.. Mendes-France
in Gen. de Gaulle's ministry of
economic affairs before being
named as a member of the
French delegation to the trial
of German war criminals at
Nuremburg. His formal entry in
to politics was a flasco. Running
for the Assembly in Paris. he
was soundly trounced twice be-
fore winning his seat as radical
socialist deputy from the Jura
district in 1946. Since then, he
has so carefully cultivated his
private political cabbage-patch
as to make his reelection auto
matte.
In the Assembly, MIR. Faure's
financial talents were quickly
recognized. Starting in 1949, he
held high economic posts In vir-
tually every French government
until President Auriol called on
HIM to form his own cabinet. In
January, 1852. Edgar Faure be-
came at 43 Frances eighth post
war premier-the youngest since
1888. When his government fell
40 days later on the 29th Of
February, he observed wryly that
at least the occasion would be
celebrated only once every four
years.
Up until now, Mr.. Faure has
made only one major statement
on French foreign policy - in
1853 before the Radical Socialist
Congress In Marseilles. On that
occasion, he announced himself
in favor of the North Atlantic
coalition, a negotiated settlement
in Indo-C China. and with a num-
ber of important reservations

however, bear more closely on the
problems Of today and perhaps

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 20.
Wives and mothers Of United
states airmen held in Commn-
mist China, some Of them choked
with tears, tonight thanked
President Eisenhower for efforts
to get their loved ones out Of
Red prisons.
It was the first time that reia-
tives-13 in all-had been able
to get together to share common
emotions and experiences. The
gathering was made possible by
q group of businessmen here.
The women agreed with the
State Department that it would
be impractical-eyen foolish
to try to accept the Reds offer
to permit them to visit their
jailed relatives, and Herman Tai
madge, former Governor of Geor-
gia who was principal speaker
at a dinner for the group. agreed
with them.
In his prepared speech Mr..
Talmadge had criticized United
States foreign policy as waver-
ing, but switched from that to
say, I'm glad TO see that our
policy In recent days has
changed from one Of Keep 'em
guessing to one that says You
may go so far and no farther. :"
The statement brought ap-
plause from the 100 persons in
the hotel dining room.
Each of the airmen's relatives
spoke for less than a minute to
express gratitude for being able
to meet one another.
Mr.. Talmadge did not follow
his prepared text exactly but did
in substance.
He said:
"The point has been reached
when the President and members
of Congress should declare as
the policy of this Nation the
guarantee of the full protection
of our armed might to American
civilians and servicemen where
ever they may go or be sent to
serve in the world.

Earlier the relatives had is
sued q statement saying they
felt the recent State Department
ruling mot to issue passports at
this time is in the best interests
of all the members of this group,
our loved ones in China and the
Nation as q whole"
The Reds had said relatives
could visit the prisoners. but
Washington ruled the tense
Formosan situation prohibited it.
Many of those here branded
the Red offer as purely for prop
aganda purposes, but no group
statement was made on this.
Neither was any concerted action
taken on q possible visit to China

| expected from French foreign
policy in the immediate future:
Can we have co-existen0e.
he asked. between the two blocs,
not Just material coexistence-
without which we wouldn't be
here-but q genuinely peaceful
co-existence without a cold war?
From the western point Of
view, I believe that this co-ex-
istence is considered possible and
even desirable. It is one element
of common policy that we should
agree on.
1--WE must negotiate. :" Mr..
Faure continued. Even If we
were sure that all negotiations
would fail, we should still nego-
tiate. They say that for the Rus
slams negotiation is propaganda.
But that is exactly why we must
not neglect it. Propaganda. for
the Russians, is in the offer to
negotiate. not in the refusal to
do so. We must turn their weap-
on against them and show their
responsibility for a failure which
now they glibly pin on us.
To-day, on this problem Of
negotiations. we find ourselves in
a paradoxical position: We allow
the cause of peace to be con-
stantly invoked by those who
menace 1t; we allow the cause
of peace to be modified In the
service of the instigators of war. /"
In the days TO come. Edgar
Faure, as French foreign min
lister, will have an unusual OPP
portunity to test the possibility
Of an understanding with the
Russians. It is perhaps the most
definite plank IN his foreign poll
icy platform as he moves into
his new job.
