today and accused of knocking
two holes in a Northeast WASH
ington warehouse and hauling
away a load of television and
Hi-Fi sets in a rented truck.
Investigators said the bur-

about $4,000.

when a motorcycle policeman
saw a car run through a blink
ing red traffic light at Rhode
Island avenue and North Capt.
tol street, according to Thir-
teenth Precinct 1t. Robert r.
Callow.
The officer started following
the violator. and as the car
picked up speed, he was joined
by a police car with Sergt. Alvin
c. Hammack at the wheel.
The chase ended at Second
and U streets NV, when the
fleeing auto smashed into a
parked car, 1t. Callow said.
The driver tried to flee, but
was quickly captured, the lieu
tenant said. The officers found
a hi-fl set in the back seat and
traced it to the Joseph M.

house had been looted, police
began rounding up suspects
and recovering the stolen items.

rented a truck for their bur-
glary expedition, and then re-
turned it to the rental agency
after driving it just Is miles.

his car, one by one, from a
house in the 300 block of v

President-elect John F. Ken

Senator Kennedy's slim pop

The G. o. P. still is seeking re-

The elections board sum-
moned 400 election judges for
questioning and about $50

time. Mrs. Marie Suthers, the

She contended the board was
not making a proper investiga-

She refused to sign the can

PUBLIC ALERTED AGAINST
THREAT OF POLIO IN go

Efforts are being put forth by
the State Board of Health to pre-
vent last years high polimyelitis
death rate in the youngest age
group, birth through five years.
DR.. Fred T. Foard, Director of
the Division of Epidemiology, is
asking Local Health Directors to
alert all persons who work in pre-
school clinics or conferences to en-
phasize to parents the Importance
of immediate vaccination of this
age group.
The highest poliomyelitis death
rate during 1859 occurred in this
birth throlgh five years age group,
according to DIR. Foard. He is rec
ommending that definite arrange
ments be made with parents to take
their children to the family physi-
clan or the health department for
immediate vaccination.
The year 1859 ended with 313
cases of polimyelitis reported, 27O
of which were paralytic. Already
two paralytic cases have been re-
ported as originating in 1860.
In his message to Local Health
Directors, DIR. Foard expressed the
hope that these continuing and in
tensified efforts throughout the
State would prevent a recurrence
of the high 1859 poliomyelitis
death rate record.

Will Drummond Hearing Follow
QuinneI's Secret Rigging Memo?

The preliminary secret sessions
were proposed, according to Quin-
nelPs memorandum because the
public hearings were "monopolized
by those persons who are opposed
to the proposed routings' and
the result was leaving the impress
sion with the newspapers and the
public that there is general oppo-
sition to the proposed construc-
tion."
People in Montana have felt for
some time that the public hearings
on proposed highway routings are
a farce-that it didn't make any
difference to the Highway Depart
ment what the general public
thought anyway-but now it is
obvious that the department not
only didn't intend to pay any at
tention to the public, they
rugged" the hearings SO the news
papers and public" would not know
there was any opposition to the
department proposed routes.

The Montana Highway Depart
ment will shortly hold a hearing
in Drummond on the routing of
Interstate 90 through that area.
Will this be another rugged" hear
ing as set up by Fred Quinnell, Jr.,
in February, 1858, through his dis
trict engineers and department
heads?
Ouinnell has directed his engi-
neers and department heads to ar
range preliminary meetings" with
such interested parties who
are vitality interested in the pro-
posed routings".
The state engineer said these
meetings should mot be open to
the public and newspaper pub
licity should be avoided if possible.
After clearing up" misunder-
standings with hand picked few
in the community they should 'be
encouraged to attend the hearing
and give active support" if they
are in favor of the proposed rout-
ings.

There were three streets in which
digging took place. On one street
there was no pipe at all and only
the useless buried pipe on the other
two.
The enigma of how the pipe got
there in the first place may require
clairvoyant. No one can be found
who will admit they laid the pipe.
The Blatnik committee undoubted-
ly will not accept any theory the
pipe got there by command to some
genie.
State law requires that pipes carry
ing sanitary waste must be water
tight.
State law also requires that plans
for sewage disposal must be filed and
approved by the State Board of
Health before installation can start
on housing additions such as the
Werner addition was supposed to be.
According to the State Board no
plans were ever submitted for the
Werner addition that was sold to the
Highway, and plans have never been
finally approved for the addition
presently being used as housing de-
velopment.
Besides the unusable sewer pipe,
there is no water on most of the
addition involving the Highway.
What further steps will be taken
it is.too soon to know. The evidence
will have to be carefully considered
to determine whether the Attorney
General should investigate to see if
there is conspiracy to defraud the
state.
The information will unauestion-
ably be. turned over to the Congress
sional investigating committee in
Washington, D. C. for them to de-
eide whether there should be hearings
held in the state.
