a ride out to the new building with
Ernie Meath, assistant propaganda
director of the Highway Department,
who took along a photographer and
the new education director, Mr..
| Champion.
Across from the conference room
where the coffee was served are the
offices of some kind of inspectors
and auditors from some branch of
the government not of the Bureau of
Public Roads. They were the check
ers of the checkers who check up on
the checkers hired by the Highway
Department. But with the hundreds
of millions of dollars pumped into
the state by the federal government
you can see that an extra balance here
and there might be necessary to watch
the checks. This is really a system
of checks and balances at work.
At the other end of the hall the
state is engineered by the ga" divi-
sion for Western Montana, and the
OBJ division on the other side of the
corridor takes care of the eastern
half. Each desk cuts the areas up
into smaller sections. Then there are
files and cabinets for the forms.
You've heard of the forms suppose.
Cowan's new office has feature
the old offices on top of the Highway
pentagon lacked-a back door.
Ernie Meath had his picture taken
with Cowan showing him where Mon
tana was on a big u. S. map, and
then to get little zip in the photos
took shot at the pretty reception
list, Mardi Shaw. Her knees were quite
properly behind the desk, after all,
this is federal office, you know.
The best photo was of the infant
daughter of Engineer Henry Ander-
son slipping punch in her new dress
and lowered bonnet right in the
middle of the conference room. Then
there was the one of me first in line
to get that free federal hand out.
Imagine being corrupted by coffee!!!

But then you are lucky to see the

supposed to be in the know on all

wife hits him with what is going on
at the shopping center he has to do
some writing. So what does he get.

crease reflects the increase in the
cost of public relation people who
are incompetent. The price of labor
is not a factor because of the in

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (AP).-
Three stockholders of the Fair

in Federal District Court yes

former officers of the corpora
ton, charging them with COR
rupt and fraudulent motives" in
their conduct Of the company's

The company manufactures

The plaintiffs are George C..

Among the defendants are
Alfons Landa, former president

Brandt, motion-picture theater
operator and a Fairbanks Whit
ney director; Milton c. Weis-
man. a member OF the board of
directors, and David Karr,

The 30-page complaint states
that phases of the alleged con-

1858 and that the defendants
engaged in a plan to dominate
the affairs of the company and
gain control of its affairs and
those of its subsidiaries to fur

He was even hesitant about
forecasting when the curious
beams may begin doing prac-
tical work, suggesting this may
occur with luck in a decade
or so. EXperimenters at Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy recently bounced a laser
beam off the moon and got
a reflected signal. They also
have drilled holes in razor
blades with the beams. 70
