Kordy Cleared of Using
His Post to Aid Client

Montgomery County States
Attorney Leonard T. Hardy has
been exoAerated Of charges by
a District judge that he used
the power of his office to aid a
divorce client, it was learned
today.
Mr.. Hardy was cleared of the
charge in a letter from the
judges of the county circuit
court to the local bar associa-
ton. The prosecutor asked the
bar for an investigation May
"a, the day after the accusa-
ton was made from the bench
by Judge John H. Burnett of
the Districts Domestic Rela-
tons Court.
81 knew the charges we're
untrue and I hope this letter
will settle the matter" Mr..
Hardy said today.
A special study committee of
the County Bar Association,
headed by Charles w. Wood
ward, submitted its report to
the judges last week for review.
There followed the letter from
the judges.
Judge Burnett called Mr..
Hardy "a liar, and a big liar"
for denying testimony that he
used the power of the prosecu-
tors office to drop an assault
warrant and thereby aid a
divorce client.
Mr.. Hardy bra d ed the
charges "unfounded, complete
ly ridiculous and untrue" He
later produced a copy Of a
letter he said his client wrote

VISTAS IN SCIENCE

search Of this kind, according
to a recent Army report, are
proving extremely high. First
is a series of white rooms"
absolutely free of any particle
of dust, into which light will
be filtered through thick solid
glass ceilings. The object IS
to avoid any contamination of
highly sensitive materials which
will be used.
The researchers will enter
these rooms by stepping on o
sticky mat to remove any dust
which may have been picked
up elsewhere. Then they will
pass through an air shower
that will be equivalent to q
thorough vacuuming. They will
be encased completely in plas-
! tic clothing, even feet and
hands, to prevent bringing in
any particles of foreign matter.
Extremely sensitive electronic
research will be carried out
in a screen ROOM" completely
screened and grounded to elm
mate the possibility of ex-
traneouS signals. Each circuit
will be designed for complete
freedom from outside inter-
ference.
Seeing with "black" (infra-
red light lately has been made
more effective by devices to be
tested at the laboratory. These
include a weapon which can
be used on a wide variety of
infantry arms, a hand-held
viewer for homing in on an

permit driving and working in
absolute darkness, and q tank

area may have been reduced,
but the total acreage of Fed

Some land on the north edge
of the south unit was exchang-

Dakota for school land located
within the Park area. Other
land was exchanged with pri-
vate individuals for land with

You seem to disregard the
fact that ranchers do not OBJ

to the highway rigIht-of-way

of the area. We should remem-
ber that the laws of North
Dakota do not permit live

therefore, would hardly satisfy
the ranchers objection to this
right-of-way being fenced.
These ranchers did not ask
anyone to build them a road.
They are trying to work toward
a type of road they can live
with now and in the future.

for starting the idea of this
road in the first place. Did the
Highway Commissioner ever
extend the ranchers the cour-
tesy of checking this idea out
with them in the first place?
Are land owners no longer en-
titled to ait least some con-
sideration when a proposal is
being made that would mater
tally affect the area where they
live and their business.
The opposition to this road
has never been centered around
the loss of a few acres of graz
ing land. This is of no signifi-
canoe and ] have never heard
it mentioned. Ranchers were
concerned about losing either
a 62-rod or a 1917 rod strip
per mile as proposed in Sena-
tor Burdick's 2 bills out of
their river bottom fields and
may meadows. There is only
a limited amount of this vital
feed producing land in the
Badlands and any loss would
be a real blow. I'm surprised
that Mr.. Hjelle tries to depict
the ranchers as raising this
fuss about a few acres of graz
ing land.
Probably the most erroneous
statement made by Mr.. Hjelle
according Ito the article is
"much of the material present
ed by the opposition was of
an extreme variety with little
basis of fact" 1 challenge Mr..
I1jelle or anyone else to iden-
tlfy one instance where untrue
statements were made by any
of the rancherS or myself in
regard to this proposed high
way. The meeting at Medora

of your life-most of you, that
is. Well, I didn't know it un-
til 1 deliberately pulled out
map and checked it. The five
counties, just in case you did
not know, are: Roosevelt, Nc
Cone, Dawson, Wibaux in Mon
tana and Mckenzie in North
Dakota.
For instance, a representa-
tive goes out from this office
into McCone, Dawson and Wi
haux Counties (and to Rich
land, of course). The Great
Falls social security office
sends a man out to Roosevelt,
while a field representative
from Minot's social security
office goes to Mckenzie Coun-
ty.
This is done for couple of
reasons. We know that people
in those counties need social
security information just as
people everywhere do. And
we know too that it's some
times pretty hard for a person
to get transportation into Bill
lings where the social security
office is located. So we hope
you'll call on the social secu-
rity field man if you need him.
If you're in a hurry to
get information or help on
your social security standing,
you can do that by writing to

What's the most common

Would you say Johnson? Most
people would probably say
that, but most people would
probably be wrong. Odds are
that there are more Smiths
than JOhnsonS. 1 couldn't prove
that if you pinned me down,
but can prove there are more
Smiths than Johnsons in the

would be more in Richland

that over one million different

the Williams third 778,000),

There are 664, 900 named Jones
in fifth place. Maybe we ought
to be talking about keeping
up with the Smiths or John

around to telling you what's
so important about all these

this a little: They checked to
see how many last names were
listed 10000 or more times.
And they found that over 1900
last names are owned by over
10000 people each. SO the odds
are that a great many people
share your same last name,
too.
