True, the New Deal ("creeping So

extent cushioned the shock yet it be-
came increasingly apparent in the later

the right direction they were never

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
OF late. the daily press has provided
its readers with some very interesting
statements and figures as pertains to
the administration and expenditure of
funds of the State Fish and Game De-
partment.
The Great Falls Tribune of May 14th
contains three quite lengthy articles
from which we quote: The Fish and
Game Commission approved q one
year budget of s3,125,510, largest in
history and approximately 1865, 900 in
excess of anticipated income; Everin
said the Commission realizes that after
this year when the reservoirs gone the
Commission will have to increase rev.
enue"
thing. more money to be taken from
the taxpaye ers. Quite obviously it was
such action as above that prompted the
statement: Had the Governor and his
Fish and Game Commission spent their
own money as they have the taxpayers,
long ago they would have been standing
on street corners, hat in hand wearing
dark glasses selling lead pencils and
shoe strings for their daily bread.
AS provided by statutes the Fish and
Game Commission is AN appointive COM
mission of the executive, responsible
only to the executive; make the rules,
enforce the rules set up their own
budget yes, approve their budget. Not
one other state department does like
wise. So. we have one department of
state with more powers than a king
ever had.
Can it be from the above statements
and figures the Commission is of the
belief that this is their last Christmas
wherein they are their own Santa
Claus? You will note they are cleaning
out the surplus, or attempting to, in
this years budget. Will the people in
the Legislature ever awaken to this
Frankenstein?
1t will be interesting to note the
action of Montanas Legislative Coun
Gil, a council of Legislators to investi
gate the numerous state departments.
What will be their report to the 36th
Legislative assembly? - THOMAS o. |

said he hoped the conferees could
meet and that a bill could be sent

Alaska-Many of us who represent

get Alaska statehood before the House
for consideration this week. The move
was led by Rep. Wayne Aspinall of
Colorado, second ranking member of

Affairs. Opponents of the measure
maintain it is not a statehood measure
but instead dark move to give away
the nations resources in Alaska. It
could also result in the addition of
three northern liberal members of
Congress-tw senator's and a repre-
sentative.

convicted by federal court jury
under the provisions of the Smith
Act-which contends he is member
of the Communist Party with full
knowledge that it advocates over
throw of the government by force
and violence at the earliest possible
moment.
Hellman admitted he is Commu-
mist, so the point at issue was whether
that party advocated the overthrow of
the government by force and violence
as speedily as possible.
The jury must have been convinced
by the testimony because they turned
in verdict of guilty. That they had
some qualms over the whole thing
might be deduced from their ques-
tion as to whether they could recon-
mend ''leniency".

Lloyd Off for 7 oIks
On Cyprus Future

LONDON, Feb. 10 (R.-
British Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd left by plane for
Athens today to discuss the
future of Cyprus with Greek
government officials.
Mr.. Lloyd took with him still
secret British proposals for
settling the dispute over her
Eastern Mediterranean Island,
q dispute that has strained
relations among Britain. Greece
and Turkey, all NATO allies.
There has been speculation
he will propose to the Greeks
that Cyprus be given limited
self government Immediately
and the right of elf-determin-
alton in 10 years.
Mr.. Lloyd talked with Turk
fish leaders in Ankara last
month during the Baghdad
pact meeting. but there has
been no indication that they
agreed to such q plan. The
Turkish minority on Cyprus
wants the island partitioned
between the Greek and Turkish
communities; the Greeks want
to unite with Greece.
Mr.. Lloyd is to return to
London Thursday. The foreign
Office has not excluded the pos
sibility that he will meet with
Archbishop Makarios, the leader
Of the Greek Cypriots who is
now living in exile in Athens.

at least 5000 years ago.
Struck in the Back
Beside the backbone was a
quartz spearhead which had

spinal nerve. From the angle
at which the projectile struck,
Psychologists were able to de-
duce that the man had beeen

The expeditions have dug 80
feet into the cave floor without
reaching its original level. Rel
les were found in neat, chrome

generations of Russell Cave
dwellers cleaned by scattering
fresh soil over the debris.
DR.. Miller tells of finding the
skeleton OF a baby at the A.
foot level. 1t was so small that
it must have been newborn or
born dead. 1t was curled on
its side; placed in a small pit,
and covered with earth slightly
d""ker than the surrounding
soil.

baby. the speared man or an
other. much older cave man
whose grave was found at the
nine-foot level. DR.. Miller
speculates that perhaps the
cave dwellers' possessions were
too few and valuable. or were
owned in common rather than
by individuals.
Some Of the artifacts discov-
cred in the excavations include
fishhooks consisting Of two
pieces Of either bone or wood
and resembling those used by
more northern early Indians
and later by Eskimos, and
torches made Of bear iegbones
which could be stuffed with
bear fat and q wick.
1t is not known how much
deeper the cave deposits may
extend before the original floor
