preme Courts decision in the
Mallory case. governing the ad-
instability Of confessions as
evidence in criminal cases.
Mr. Davis said he plans tc
ask the House Judiciary Com
mittee to hold hearings on both
proposals before Congress ad-
journs.
The House already has
passed a bill dealing with the
Mallory decision. Both Of Mr.
Davis bills would apply specifi-
cally to the courts Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Backstop Bill
Mr.. Davis said he offered
the Mallory bill in case the
earlier measure. which applies
to all Federal courts. is blocked
in the Senate.
The bill dealing with insanity
cases is based on what has
come to be known as the Dur.
ham rule" The legislation
undertakes to define what
mental diseases or defects re-
lieve an accused person from
criminal responsibility.
Prior to the Durham deci.
sion, criminal responsibility ir
the District was governed BY
the right and wrong test
supplemented by the irresistible
impulse test. This test, as nov
established by the Durham
case. is that an accused is mo-
criminally responsible If his &C
was the product Of mental
disease or defect.

Join To Resist Attack
On C0-0ps and Unions

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. = (CNS) -
Farmers and labor leaders met here
last month to plan closer cooperation
between their two groups.
In a joint statement, Wisconsin
Farmers Union-CIO Action Council
said:
There is a dangerous trend
toward rule by powerful special in
terest groups today which can crush
family farmers and wage earners
alike.
Farm co-ops are under attack and
good unions are blamed for faults of
the bad. Unions and farm groups
must learn to understand their COM
mon problems.
Specifically, the group voted to ex-
change students at summer camps,
promote dairy advertising in labor
publications, work for state food
stamp plan to aid low income families,
and dovetail legislative work for both
groups.

struction as contrasted with highway
betterment (maintenance) Recon-
struction is paid for by combination
of state and federal funds. Mainte-
nance is 100 per cent state funds
only. The present annual highway
maintenance cost is running at about
$7,000,000. Under reconstruction, in
order to qualify for federal funds it
is necessary for the standards of a
piece of highway to be improved. Suf-
ficient state funds are not always
available to meet the cost of such
higher standards with the result the
department must patch up" existing
roads with maintenance funds.
How much highway maintenance
costs could be reduced if new sale
of debentures is authorized by the
legislature came in for considerable
conjecture. Efforts will be made to
assemble figures on that to determine
whether reduced maintenance costs
would offset the interest on deben-
ture bonds; on whether additional
substantial savings can be made.
Ways and means of securing ad-
ditional highway revenue, above
savings which could be made by the
debenture-maintenan route, were
also explored to some extent. High
way officials forecast a $35, ,00O,-
900 deficit in state matching funds
by 1869 unless additional revenue
is forthcoming.

Following a meeting of more
than 200 farmers and ranchers
fromsa dozen Montana counties
in Billings last Saturday, or
ganization of a statewide
group for the purpose of "pro-
tecting valley lands from limit
ed-access (Interstate) high
ways" has been announced.
Joe Wold, president of the Lower
Yellowstone Valley Protective Asso-
citation, acting as temporary chair
man of the new group called Montana

nouncement from his home in Laurel,
Monday.
Feeling at the Saturday meeting in
Billings ran high against the Governor
and his highway commission, accord
ing to reports received by THE
VOICE. The tenor of the meeting was
probably best summed up by one ex-
change between the chairman (Wold)
and one farmer in the audience.

Claude Gray, an attorney in private

them to "get the highway issue into
the courts and keep it there until the
next Montana Legislature meets.
"You can be assured your repre-
sentatives will look after your

Gray also urged protestants to or
