court here today convicted a
Maryland soldier Of robbery,
accidental shooting and injur-
ing Of a japanese, and illegal
possession Of q firearm.
Pfc. Anthony w. Bracato, %.
Baltimore. was sentenced to two
years in prison.
Takakazu Ishimoto, presiding
judge. said he took into con-
sideration that "the accused
was not himself at the time"
of the shooting on october 6.
1858.
"He was oken-hearted in a
love affair, mentally and phys
ically strained, and was known
to have taken a large dose Of
anti-histamine pills." the judge
added.
The prosecution, which de-
manded five years imprison-
ment. said 1t probably will APP
peal to a higher court. Under
Japanese court procedures.
either prosecution or defense
can appeal.
The defense also stated 1t
would appeal. because If the
accused was verified to have
been not himself, he should
have drawn a more lenient
sentence"
Japanese judges often are
lenient on violence stemming
from love affairs.

Morris Forecasts
Stiff Fight to
Win Fair in "a

Washington will continue To
wage a stiff fight for the 1854
worlds fair, E. K. Morris, pres
ident Of the Board Of Trade,
said yesterday.
In an address to the Civitan
Club. Mr.. Morris said Wash
ington's chances for selection
as the site of the international
exposition ARE far from dead"
Mr.. Morris comments were
a reference to a threatened fill
buster by Republican Senators
Heating and Javits Of New
York. which blocked Senate
adoption early yesterday Of a
resolution authorizing selection
of a single fair site by a presi-
Dental commission.
Mr.. Morris said the Board of
Trade would continue to sup
port legislation which would
give District residents a vote
for President and Vice Presi-
dent and representation in
Congress.
Mr.. Morris also traced the
development Of the Board Of
Trade from an organization
which once was primarily in
terested in the District of CO.
lumbia, to one concerned with
the economic development Of
the entire Metropolitan Area.
He observed that the Board
Of Trades Economic Develop
ment Committee had played an
important part in bringing sci

ment firms to the area. He said
there are now 1913 such Arms

Little officially is known Of
what President de Gaulle will
propose for ending the rebellion,
but 1t has been disclosed he will
affirm the principle Of self
determination"
This has been interpreted to
mean Algeria's 9 million Mos
lens will be able to vote on how
they wish to be governed. But
nothing official has been re-
ported as to President de
Gaulle's timetable for bringing
this about.
Broadcast Slated
To achieve maximum atten-
ton, the French President has
ordered radio and TV channels
cleared In France and Algeria
to carry his statement. The
speech. expected to last about
IS minutes. also will be heard
throughout the vast French
community embracing IL semi
autonomous states In Africa
and Madagascar.
President de Gaulle's words
also will be broadcast in Arabic
and Berber, the main languages
Of Algeria. as well as several
other foreign tongues.
Throughout France and in
parts of Algeria President de
Gaulle's televised image will
accompany his words.
The President took unusual
measures to guard the secrecy
Of his statement before 1t went
on the air. Carefully screened
radio and TV technicians we're
to make the recording in Pres
ident de Gaulle's Elysee Pal
ace. then keep the tape and
Aim sealed until a few minutes
before the broadcast.
Eisenhower Informed
OF major Importance to
France will be the American
reaction to President de Gaulle's
statement. President de Gaulle
gave President Eisenhower a
rundown on his proposals when
they met recently. but any
United States reaction was
withheld until after tonight's
public disclosure.
France hopes for United
States support when the Al
gerian question comes up in

Assembly.

It's a Shrinking World

For the first year more passengers
boarded planes in 1858 for trans
Atlantic crossings than steamships.
Air carriers estimate that by the end
of December, planes had carried
nearly 100000 more passengers
during the year than steamships. Dur
ing the first nine months carrier men,
bers of the International Air Trans
port Association flew 961, $3.50 pas
sengers across the Atlantic. Of this
number, the economy-class flights
showed the greatest increase, and air
freight was 33 per cent higher than

Paid Vacations

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An analy-
sis of a recently published study is
sued by the U. S. Labor Department
shows that practically all organized
workers now enjoy paid vacations
under their union contracts. Two
week paid vacations are becoming
the minimum with oncestandard five
years of service requirement being re-
duced to three for eligibility in most
cases, according to the study inter-
preted by the AFL-CIO Research de-
partment.
More and more workers are get
ting paid vacations in excess of two
weeks, with 80 per cent of contracts
providing for three-week vacations
and the typical 15-year requirement
to qualify being reduced. Provisions
for four-week vacations are turning
up in more and more union agree
ments.

Water Righf Laws

BOZEMAN-"The Law Of Wate
Rights" is the title of a new bulletir
published by the Montana Agricultur
al Experiment Station at Montana
State College in cooperation with

vaged and developed waters, waste
and seepage waters, and ground wat
ers. Liberal use is made of footnotes
citing court cases on the points in
volved.
The bulletin is a part of the re-

4-Make your pens carefully. You
may whittle nibs to your own indi-
vidual taste.
5-This office shall open at z am.
and close at 8 pm. daily, except on
the Sabbath, on which day it will re-

orally to the cause of the Lord.
6-Men employees will be given an
evening off each week for counting
purposes, or two evenings week if
they go regularly to church.
AFTER an employee has spent
his hours of work in the office, he
should spend the time reading the
Bible and other good books while
contemplating the glories and buildup
of the Kingdom.
8-Every employee should lay aside
from his pay, a goodly sum of his
earnings for his benefit during his
declining years so that he will not
become a burden upon the charity of

UTILITY LEGISLATION.
"BANKERS' RELIEF" ETC.

In 1857 legislation providing that
private utilities must more thoroughly
prove their cases for rate increases
when appearing before the Public
Service Commission went down in the
House on a tie vote. The 1858 Demo-
cratic platform, like its 1856 prede-
cessor, calls for enactment of such
legislation. Such a proposal may we'll
be the determining factor as to the
extent of Montana Power Company
influence when the chips are down
in the 1859 session.
Bankers are fearful the bill they
lobbied through to cut the tax classi-
fication on bank surplus funds (and

tional by District Judge Philip Dun

age of the gross income of all indi-
viduals and profit-making corpora
tions.
And, there is serious consideration
being given legislation to raise the
rentals the State receives from school
grazing lands to be more in line with
federal and private leases. Another
move afoot would repeal all of the
oil industry -instigated laws concern
ing oil leases on State lands enacted
in 1851, 1853 and 1866. These laws
limiting royalty, limiting rentals and
taking from the land board the au-
thority to determine length of oil
leases have reacted adversely to the
schools financial well-being. (For
more details, see article by former
Attorney General Arnold Olsen, in
this issue.)
Finally, everyone, no matter how
they would raise tax money to make
State income balance outgo are
agreed that governmental waste,
wherever found, should be reduced
to minimum. They want greater
restraints placed on private use of
State-owned autos, better administra-
tive procedures at all levels of gov
ernment including more efficient use
of personnel. Many of them also be-
lieve the State should have a budget
director with more authority over the |
budgets of various departments.
Getting into the "earmarked'
money field, there is likely to be
repeat performance of the 1857
battle over highway financing, and
there are rumblings of legislation
to clip the wings of the Fish &
Game Department.
In 1857 the trucking lobby was
able to stave off enactment of a
weight-distance truck taxing sched-
ule. Such a measure would go far
toward assuring equity of financial
of various types of high
way users; would replace the present
Gross Vehicle Weight system which is
unfair to certain types of trucking
operations and which falls far short
Of making the big over-the-road out
fits pay as much proportionately as
does the average auto operator. This :
session, with the Democratic majori-
les of both houses firmly committed :
% the weight-distance tax, via their :
1853 platform, the chances appear !
much better for W-D making it all
he way to the Governors desk. Sue !
less or failure of W-D will likely de-
ermine the fate Of the proposed one d

jumped almost seven million dollars
in 1858 compared with 1856 for an
overall increase in taxes paid of $9,-

Labor is most anxious to secure
much needed improvements in un
employment compensation, broaden
ing of the workmens compensation
act to include Silicosis and other
occupational diseases as well as more
adequate cash benefits for the dis
abled. Labor can also be expected
to continue it's demand for enactment
of a minimum wage law similar to
the $1.25 federal minimum wage law.
Labor's major objective will be
the seeking of a constitutional
amendment for submission to the
voters guaranteeing workers the
right to organize and collectively
bargain with management.
A legislative order to the Unem-
ployment Compensation Commission
to Immediately accept federal jobless
assistance for the rapidly growing
number of Montana workers who have
exhausted their benefits, may well be
labor's opening request of the seth
Legislative Assembly.
A growing state is causing addi-
tional problems of public health. In
adequate water and sewage facilities
in suburban new housing develop
ments is of growing concern to the
State Board of Health. Increasing in
naturalization forecasts the immedi-
ate need for air pollution control
legislation. Measures to meet both
problems are being readied for legis-
lative consideration.
LAS VEGAS, MONTANA?
Proponents of big-time gambling
are beginning to stir, holding out the
golden apple of gambling revenues
as fruitful source to end Montana's |
fiscal pains. Accorded small chance
of passage, such measure could be |
used to splinter the Demo-
cratic majorities to such an extent
they would lose sight of the import
ant planks of their platform which
5hey are pledged to enact into law.
The liquor interests will again be
demanding the State get out of the
'etail end of the business, and, if
in that sortie, will seek
| substantial discount from the retail
'rice for saloonkeepers, as we'll as a
lumber of pieces of legislation which
would weaken the states policing au-
hority over their industry. .
A conference.-the to the liquor
ealers' onslaught, proposal to re-
urn the State to the role of sole dis :
enser of liquor in Montana, may be {
ropped in the legislative mill. En- :
ctment of such law would pretty i
ffectively end the flow of liquor to
