MSU Enrolment
Up IS Per Cent

MISSOULA = Fall-quarter enroll
ment at Montana State University,
Missoula, is up 1873 per cent from
last year to hit the highest peak since
1949. University officials have an
nounced.
Total registration at the end of
the first week of classes stood at
3,3O5. an increase of 439 students
over enrolment at the same time last
wear Registrar Leo Smith noted. Ac-
cording to the registrars office, final
enrolment figures may be somewhat
higher because students usually con-
tinue to register well into the month
of October. The initial enrolment
figure exceeds increased enrolment
estimates made by MSU statisticians
earlier this season.

Will be IN charge. Zimmerman '
tion Section of the Soil Conservation
Service when it was established under
DIR. Hugh H. Bennett in 1885. He
became chief of the Information Di-
vision in 1910 and remained there
for ten years.
In Washington he will be in daily
contact with the three agencies of
the federal government most con-
cerned with soil conservation-the
Soil Conservation Service in the De-
partment of Agriculture, the Interior
Department with its Bureau of Recla-
nation and other land use agencies,
and the Corps of Engineers, dam
builders and regulator of streams.
He will also be in position when
called upon by members of Congress
to testify on soil conservation prob
lens. But he expects more often to
bring to Washington officers of his
organization, who can speak directly
for the farmers of the various soil
conservation districts.
The National Association of Soil
Conservation Districts never before
has had Washington office. A few
years ago Waters S. Davis, a former
president who lived at League City,
Texas, decided some land, buildings,
and other assets to the NASCD. This
has served as service headquarters.
Nolen Fuqua. now NASCD president,
lives at Duncan, Oklahoma.
EYE ON LEGISLATURE
From time to time the NASCD has
supported or opposed legislation af-
fecting the 35O,000,0OO acres of agri-
cultural land now embraced in $500
soil conservation districts throughout
the United States. This comprises
about one-third of our farming and
range land. The system of self-govern-
ment established in these districts,
with a board of five supervisors in
each, involves about $4,000 locally
elected officials with authority to
pass land use regulations resembling
the zoning laws in cities.
In the years these districts have
been established they have brought
farmers together to solve in a demo-
cratic manner their problems, select
leadership, and improve their incomes.
The success of this system has been
one of the outstanding accomplish
ments of the social revolution that |
began in the years of the Great De-
preston. The formation of soil con-
servation districts is regarded by poll
tical scientists as one of the most
hopeful methods of strengthening the
democratic way of life in the United
States.
BIG TASK AHEAD
When asked what his principal
duties would be, Zimmerman told
your reporter:
""The association has, and will con-
tinue to, speed up land classification
in the United States. Land generates
power which is transformed into
market products. But the amount of
power which an acre can generate
varies greatly between acres, just as
do the capacities of electric genera
tors. We don't yet know precisely
how the productive capacity of our
land is disposed. A survey that will

The funds executive board
authorized the new building on
January 81. 1855. Construction
work was started in September,

was a question mark because
OF the hassle over the old Fire

did not want to 90 ahead with

that part Of the Engineer Corps

Mr.. Levin pointed out that since

be given to the great length Of

of the survey itself.
Overall Authority Discounted
Col. yelling did not share
Mr.. Hyde's apparent interest In
an overall regional authority
for Metropolitan Washington
There would not appear to be
any compelling requirement for
such an authority" he stated.
Distribution Of water can well
remain an activity under local

not prevent the physical in

Here rests In honored

This inscription on the
Tomb OF the Unknown SOL

bodies OF unknown service
men Of world War II and OF
the Korean conflict.
The work Is about COM
pleted. Yesterday gardeners
we're planting $500 ivy slips
in beds beside the walk.
The additions Of unknowns
who gave their lives In
World War II and Korea will
not change the appearance
OF the tomb and the plaza
behind the amphitheater In
the slightest.
The capstones OF the crypts
will be flush with the stone
pavement Of the plaza. They
will be identifiable only by
their size, and the dates
carved on them, "ls4l-ls45"
and "ls5O-ls5S." The Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier has
no date on 1t. But "lsl7-
1918" is to be carved on the
stone pavement in front Of 1t.
A GREAT DEAL OF
THOUGHT and many tries
we're made at writing in
scriptions for the World
War II and Korean crypts,
but it was decided that the
wording on the tomb could
not be equaled, let alone i'm

The minutes Of a high-level
War Department meeting
not long after the Armistice

approved the wording, have

disclose who wrote 1t.
This honoring Of an I'M

impetus in the ceremony OF
November II, 1920. at the
Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
France had lost 2 million
men. A similar ceremony
was held on the same day
in Westminster Abbey IN

All the unknown dead from

"The World War II un-

ceremonies similar to that
in which Sergt. Younger
functioned. Decorated en-
listed men will make selec-
tons at Hickman Field on
Hawaii and at Epinal, near
Nancy, France. There will
be six caskets at Hickman
Field, three from the Homo

near Manila. At Epinal, the
selection will be made from
10 caskets from the Is

North Africa. The caskets Sc
lected will be flown to

Late in May, on the deck

considered likely that the new
