Army Quartermaster Col. Louis
H. Shirley has been ordered back
for more questioning by Senate
investigators after denying under
oath that he ever received any
money from a New York military
cap maker "or any one else"
Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Investigating subcom-
Imittee said Sol o. Schlesinger,
the cap maker, got "a lot of
favors and undue consideration"
from the New York quarter
master Office.
Denies Special FavOrs
Col. Shirley, in testimony be-
fore the subcommittee yester-
day. denied that the Ideal Uni
form Cap Co.. owned by Mr.
ISchlesinger. received any spe-
Icial consideration. The colonel
was the contracting officer on
two orders the Schlesinger COM
pany received for 100000 Air
Force caps in 1850.
Subcommittee Counsel Robert
Kennedy said Col. Shirley first
considered not giving the Ideal
company a contract because of
its poor performance record on
previous orders, but changed his
mind within the space of two
weeks. He asked if the colonel
had received any money from
MIR. Schlesinger.
i never got any money from
Mr.. Schlesinger or anyone else, "
Col. Shirley replied heatedly.
Schlesinger Charges Lie"
Mr.. Schlesinger, in earlier
testimony. branded as "a down.
right lie" testimony alleging he
demanded kickbacks totaling
$27.745 from a subcontract and
said the money was for under
the table" payments to Col Shir-
ley.

Senate Poyoff Probe
Recalls Col. Shirley

Both Col. Shirley and Mr..
lSchlesinger were ordered to re-
turn for another hearing next
Tuesday. The hat maker was
directed to produce books and
records of his company which he
had failed to do at yesterdays
hearing.
/ Col. Shirley also was instruct
led to try to find out where he
stayed on 1852 trip to Paris
where he met Herman Kravitz
an Atlantic City IN. j. clothing
manufacturer whose activities
also are under investigation by
the subcommittee.
The Army officer admitted
meeting Kravitz, but denied In
the face of records and other
evidence that he had occupied a
room in the Kravitz suite at the
Ritz. But he said he could not
remember the hotel where he
stayed.
Clash Several Times
Senator Mcclellan and Col
Shirley clashed sharply on sew
teral occasions, as did Mr.. Ken
Inedy and the officer. When the
Senator indicated that the off,
Ger had shown favoritism toward
the Schlesinger firm, Col. Shirley
complained, Nov you are using
IhindSight."
I'm only trying to get the
facts on the record" Senator
Mcclellan retorted.
Col. Shirley said four extern
lSions on production schedules
granted the SchleSinger firm
three by the colonel himself and
one by another officer, were JUS
titled and in line with established
policies of the Quartermaster
Corps. However, he acknowl-
edged that Ideal was the only
company he knew of that re-
Ioeived extensions, while others
were completing their contracts
ahead of schedule.

Your Chi1d's
Heart Murnur
By Il. L. TADHEIM, MD.
Montana Medical association

ample, when a child appears blue or
is short of breath, or has So-called
edema or dropsy, the symptoms are
almost sufficient to establish definitely
that a child has a form of heart di-
Sease calling for suitable treatment.
However, when a child has been SEEM
ingly well, and appears pale or tired,
examination will sometimes reveal a
murmur of the heart, the Educational
Committee of the Illinois State Medical
Society observes in HEALTH TALK.
Occasionally a murmur is also heard
in a newborn infant. Because various
murmurs may or may not indicate an
abnormality of the heart, or because
they may be completely harmless,
many questions enter the physicians
mind in establishing an exact diagno-
sis.
The pumping system of the body is
generated by the heart, which is made
up of four chambers. However, the
blood is pumped in one direction of
flow only, and this is controlled by
valves. In the process the blood is
pumped out into the arteries leading
to all parts of the body in circulating
the blood which, in turn, carries oxy-
gen to nourish the body. After the
blood circulates, it is returned to the
heart through the veins.
Thus, sounds of the heart occur in
the opening and closing of the valves
in their normal function. Any condition
that develops within the heart and its
structure, resulting in a narrowing of
the valves, for example, produces diff
ferent sounds or murmurs which are
interpreted by the physician.
One type of murmur, the So-called
functional or unimportant murmur,
places no extra strain on the heart,
and the regular heart action is not
interfered with. These functional muir
murs are common in children, and, in
many instances, disappear later in the
child's life, leaving no sign they ever
existed.
Then there is the congenital heart
abnormality with which infants are
born. For some reason in development,
the heart fails to develop normally
causing an interference in circulation
Such an example is the blue baby
There is shortness of breath and the
blueness is caused when the blood i:
not circulating sufficiently through the
lungs. The abnormality produces great
er strain on the heart. With modern
normalities can be corrected.
Why these abnormalities occur i
not known, except that the parents ar
not at fault. They are simply accident
in development Another type of hear
murmur occurs in rheumatic fever
Usually the murmur is pronounce
and the heart rate is rapid. In thi
condition the heart muscle is inflameC
dilates, becomes much larger, all I
which impairs the pumping efficient
of the heart itself. In rheumatic feve
however, prevention of recurrence
the goal, since it is the repeated a
tacks that lead to narrowing of Il
heart valves.
Thus a murmur of the heart CO
mean many things and often nothin
In most instances, it is now possib
to identify those which are sign

be corrected or controlled. Even

Let's Look at
Some Recent Books
On Montana Politics
By merrill G. BURLINGAME


THE CURRENT INTEREST in pol
itics and government leads naturally
into consideration of recent publica-
tons related to the Montana scene.
One of the most recently published is
that by Josephine O'Keane, Thomas
j. Walsh, the Senator from Montana"
Marshall Jones Co., Francestown, New
Hampshire, 1850 This, of course, is
more than story of Montana politics.
The book is not first rate in any sense,
but since Miss O'Keane has been raised
in Montana, is related to the senator
and had access to family materials, it
has an intimate touch which will be of
particular interest to Montana readers.
1t portrays the unfailing accuracy
with which Mr.. Walsh sensed the trend
of the times by tracing the causes
which he supported: An opposition to
the interference in government by cor
porations, his advocacy of the primary
election law, of the Federal Reserve
Banking Act, the Federal Farm Loan
Act, the Woman Suffrage amendment,
prohibition, his opposition to the hyS-
terra over fear of subversive activities
following World War l, his deep sense
of personal indignation at the low
morale reached in the Teapot Dome oil
leases, the investigation of VIII C h
brought him his greatest national
fame.
He protested against the capitaliza-
ton methods of public utility and pow
er companies, to the extent of filling
two thousand pages of the Congress
Sional Record in one session of Con-
gress, and this interest led to his early
advocacy of restriction on excessive
stock market speculation He gave
Staunch support to the League of Ma
tons idea, and he steadily urged as
sociation with the World Court. HI
was one of the first to advocate a st
Lawrence Waterway.
1t is incredible that 20 years after hi
death so little has been written to re
mind his own generation that in Sena
tor Walsh, Montana possessed a frs
class political leader. He placed Wood
row Wilson in nomination in 1912; h
could have had the presidential nomina
ton in 1924 apparently, and many fee
that he would have won and thereb
lifted the level of politics of the tim
UNNECESSARILY. He avoided nominatio
to the vice presidency on several OF
casionS.
He was chosen as permanent chail
man of the 1892 Democratic CONVEX
ton because of his experience and h
unquestioned reputation for fairnes
AS chairman he received and formal
notified Franklin D. Roosevelt of h
; nomination on the occasion of the u
5 precedented personal appearance of tt
t newly nominated candidate before Il
). convention. Against his personal d
sire he accepted the appointment in t
S Roosevelt cabinet as attorney gener;

Soviet FisI1inu
Vessels Seized

OSLO = In a series actions
on Jan. 80, Norwegian navy pa
troll boat crews boarded and seiz-
ed ID Soviet fishing vessels which,
in violation of International law,
were operating within Norway's
4-mile coastal fishing boundary.
The seized Soviet craft included
1000 ton depot ship and II trawl-
ers. Two of the trawlers had to
be halted with warning shots. The
seizures were made off the west
ern port of Aalesund, where the
annual fat herring fisheries are
now in full swing. The Soviet
fishing fleet Oh the banks was es-
timated at 5000 craft.
Foreign minister Harvard Lange
hastily returned from the Nordic
Council session in Copenhagen. He
instructed the Norwegian ambas-
sador in Moscow to protest the
violation of Norwegian fishing
waters, and also summoned the
Soviet ambassador in Oslo. Edi-
torials in Oslo newspapers sharply
criticized the Soviet fishing in
trusions.
In decision handed down Dec.
18, 1851, the International Court
at the Hague upheld the principles
of decree of July II, 1885. under
which Norway had delimited it's
territorial waters for fishing pur-
poses. Under this decree. still in
force, the limit for foreign fishing
vessels follows a series of straight
lines drawn at a distance of 4
miles from and parallel to SOCIAL
ed base lines between extreme
points along the coast.
In ruling that the decree was
in agreement with international
law, the World Court observed
that Norway for centuries has
been Gelimiting its fishing waters
in accordance with special local
conditions. Noting that the Nor
wegian boundary delimitation re-
manned virtually unchal,enged"
until the present century, the
Court decided that Norway had
thus established title to the fish
ing banks along its coast on his
torical grounds.

TO Maintain
Defense

OSLO - Defense minister Nils
Handal declared last week that
the Norwegian government has no
intention of changing it's defense
policy. He told Parliament that
the main task in the coming years
would be to maintain the strong
national defense built up since the
war, and to adapt it to new tech
biological developments. Mr.. Han
dial emphasized that while defense
expenditures proposed for 1861
represent a 3% reduction as COM
pared with those for the current
fiscal year, they are still a heavy
burden.
The Norwegian defense minist-
er added: 1--WE must maintain a
proper balance between expendi-
lures for defense and those for
other purposes. Otherwise, the
will to offend Norway may be
weakened. Let's not forget that
the defense establishment is our
insurance against attack. Altho
the premium may seem high, we
are. convinced that what Norway
has sacrificed for defense, togeth-
er with the cooperation among
the NATO nations, has contribut-
ed to the preservation of peace"
Norways preparedness program
got under way in earnest in 1852.
According to the Oslo newspaper
"Arbeiderbladet," main organ of
the Labor Party, defense expend-
itures climbed steadily during the
next several years to reach
peak of Kr. 1,131 million ir 1854.
corresponding to about 4.5I of
the national income. The figure is
estimated at Kr. 1,040 million for
1855 and at Kr. $50 million for
1856. Last years defense cost rep
resented 3.9% of the national in
come For 1856 it has been es-
timated at $3.50.
