Secretary Dulles 'Cratified' By The Unprecedented Conciliatory Tone
 Of Russians On Shooting Incident
By JOHN M. HrcHTowER

1W WA1111AN1AO OAN, h- OSSl CtdAy of State Dulles said yesterday he is gratified at Russia's official ex- pression of regret over the shoot ing of an American plane be- tween Siberia and Alaska last Wednesday.
 The conciliatory tone of state ments by Dulles and Soviet For eign Minister Molotov apparently ended any danger that the aerial incident might in some manner disrupt plans for the Big Four conference at Geneva July 18.
 Dulles commented to reporters upon his arrival here by plane. Shortly afterward, the State De- partment released the text of a note which Molotov handed him Saturday in San Francisco, where they attended preliminary Big Four talks and a United Nations 10th anniversary meeting.
 The note insisted that the United States Navy Neptune pat rol plane had violated the states frontier of the Soviet Union in the region of the Boring Straits" and that this was the reason for the shooting.
 The United States has insisted the plane was over international waters when Russian Mig jet fighters attacked without provoca- ton.
 Another difference developed over the shooting itself. The So- viet note referred to "an exchange of shots between the American and Soviet aircraft" US. spokes- men have said the Navy plane did not return the Russian fire.
 Nevertheless, the Soviet note also contained at the end these paragraphs which officials said were virtually unprecedented in their conciliatory and even apolo- getic tone:
 "The Soviet government ex- presses regret in regard to- the incident which has taken place.
 Taking into account that the incident with the American mili- tary aircraft took place under conditions which do not exclude the possibility of a mistake from one side or the other Ca refer ence to cloudy weather), the So- viet government declares it's will ingness to compensate for 50 per cent of the damage suffered by the American side, having in mind that the remaining 50 per cent of damage would be under taken by the American side"
 Dulles was asked what he thought of this Soviet response to his demand on Molotov Friday for an explanation of the shooting.
 1t is gratifying" Dulles said, ''that he expressed regret and at least indicated willingness to make some reparation, but it is not what we asked for"

out all the oil. The land owner, usu-
ally gets nothing but share of the
oil if and when it is produced.
If an oil operator makes con-
tract to drill and does not begin work
within the time set in the lease con-
tract, a court will cancel the lease,
and the land can be released to some
one who will drill. Many oil COM
panies, particularly the larger ones
with plenty of production outside
the U. S., want to hold Montana with
out drilling until they can use up
their foreign reserves. Under the law
they can't; so they have a slick move
figured out which may get around
the law, and the state oil and gas
commission is the key.
1t works like this: The Montana
has the power, under the
conservation law, to decide how many
wells can be drilled into a particular
oil pool. Too many wells drain off
and waste the underground gas and
water pressures which push oil up
out of the ground. The commission
has the power to regulate drilling so
the correct number of wells will be
drilled to get the greatest amount
of oil.
The commission decides how many

Power consumption by coop mem

Since then the co-op's line force has
been busy changing two wire services

larger transformers to serve new
electric ranges and water heaters.
Average 1854 cost of electricity to

NO ONE SPOKE FOR LAND
OWNERS

Jack Schiltz, a Billings attorney
who was a member of the legislature
which passed the law and one of its
chief supporters, told the commits
sion at the hearing that the law was
never meant to permit this kind of
regulation. Some of the people who
remember the passage of this law in
1853 recall that the experts"
brought in to sell the law to the leg
islature testified before the commit
tees that it would never be used to
bring 80-acre spacing. Witnesses
Monday brought out the fact that
no other state has such regulation.
Yet all of this was incidental to the
argument between the big and small
oil men. No one spoke for the land
owner to ask why he should be tied
to a contract which does him no good
but can't be cancelled. No one asked
why the state of Montana should be
breaking contracts to do favors for
oil companies. No one protested the
one-sidedness of system which ties
up farmers land, but prevents him
from forcing oil production.
There is a provision of the State
which forbids laws that
change the obligation of contracts
This commission should be bound by
the same rule, especially since the
law doesn't seem to al
ow what the oil companies want done.
And why is the state of Mon
tana seemingly so willing to con-
nive at the breaking of its laws and
the violation of its Constitution?

CALL FOR MORE:
GIVE-AWAYS SOUNDED
BY REPUBLICANS

WASHINGTON, ID. -(LDNS) -
The Republicans clarion call for an
other federal "give-away" is re-
sounding through the legislative halls
of Washington following thump-
ing summons by Senator Frank A.
Barrett (R-Wyo.)
Barrett is beating the drums for
congressional action to turn oil, gas,
and other minerals in federally-owned
lands over to the states.
In the so-called "tidelands give
away" the Republicans championed
similar relinquishing of federal con-
troll to the states. That move, it has.
been charged, gave the big oil COM
panies free hand to exploit the off
shore oil reserves.
A labor spokesman observed today
that the Barrett demand sis similar
to that of the tidelands give-away
and has the general odor of another
Republican attempt to strip the pub
lie of its property in favor of special
interest groups"
Barrett has sponsored bill to turn
the mineral resources of the federal
lands over to the states. 1t is gener-
ally felt that business firms can make
a much more favorable arrangement
with state governments than they can
with Congress looking on.
