Both witnesses were asked if
they had any reason to believe,
in October 1852, that Matusow
had ever lied under oath. Both
said they did not.
Actually it was the Great Falls
Tribune's account of one of Mat.
usow's first Montana speeches, on
October Is, 1852, that led many
Montanans to suspect that Matu.
sow was, as he now admits, an
untruthful man.
Said Matusow then, according
to the Tribune:

likely that Matusow, having been

Montanans can at least hope that

Montana may soon exceed Texas

one against Mr.. emerson IN

v Last year Mr.. Green was
awarded $500 III. damages
against Nj. Macpherson for
use Of q letter in the 1851
canlpaign In which the broker
age practice was puhlicized.
This case Il on appeal.
nv his own estimate, Mr.
Green was instrumental ii
making loans Of SO million
while he was In ONCE. But, he
insists, the banks were not
lending public funds and the
ccunty's deposits in all cases
were backed BY the required
Government bonds or other
required securities.
Leoding Activities
During trial Of his suit as
Hanover Courthouse, Mr.. Green
testified: II made So or SO

Bank to make d billion dollars

He also told tile court "

some Of them ! have not made
any money out Of II. I never
made too much money on All
OF them put. together and lots
Of them ! did not make any-
thing on Of at ali.S
To-day, this Is how Mr..
Green explains how he got
into the lending business:
Just before and at the begiri-
ming Of World War II, few
banks had enough Govern
ment securities 10 back sub.
stantiai deposits. At one time
he had to rent b safety de-
posit box In which To keep

Ing year he deposited $5OO,O00
In a pox.
Then. he says. d few out-of-
county banks who had proper
surety, offered. to take the de-
posts. As more Government
bonds became available, more
banks accepted the funds.
Meanwhile. as q favor. ne
started arranging loans for
friends first without charge
and later, as more friends ap-
preached him, at Q nominal fee
to cover his own expenses.
Deposits Controlled
Mr.. acPherson claims to
l1aye eliminated deposits III
eight out-0f f-county banks. He
now has deposits lii one III
Fairfax County and one In
charlottesville as well as seven

The reason he continues 10

says, Is because that bank pays
more interest 55z per cent on

Arlington banks win not pay

large sums. he says. He claims

Armed raiders based in Jordan
ainbushed traffic on an Israeli
highway and dynamited houses

an Israel army spokesman
charged.
In the first raid. he said, an
armed unit fired on two trucks
travelling the highway south Of
Megiddo toward the Jezrez val
ley.
"One truck was hit several
times and the driver was slightly
wounded" the spokesman re-
ported. "Afterward police found
four ambush positions on both
sides Of the road and tracks led
toward the Jordan border"
The spokesman said "a sabo-
tage unit" subsequently laid
three explosive charges in the
village Of Avuka, blowing up one
building and damaging the
water pump.

were allowing Egypt to maintain
bases on their territory for COM

Col. Nasser said Egypt would
