Y.), announced Adams would ap- pear before the committee Saturday and added: | “He made no denial of that stock ownership to me.

Doe said he sat in on meetings. called by Walter Brown when the lat- ter was postmaster general, but said he had no personal knowledge of al- leged resultant “collusion.” New airmail contracts, based on a cost-plus system which would slice millions off previous expenditures, were reported to be under considera- tion by the government. ! President Roosevelt put the justice department to work on the legal background of a plan.

CAMPS SOUGHT FOR STATE All Would Be Located at Sites for Parks; Bad Lands Road Proposed Applications were forwarded to ‘Washington Thursday for establish- Tent of six CCC camps in North Dakota at sites of parks or proposed parks following a survey by H. H. Cor- nell, Denver, inspector for the Na- tional Park service. Cornell gave his approval to the camps be established to carry out va- rious imptovements, ‘Three of the camps would be locat- ed in the Bad Lands, one south of Watford City, one south of Medora at the Maltese Cross Ranch once owned by former President Theodore Roosevelt, and one near Amidon. Cornell said establishment of the camps at those sites is dependent on the state obtaining sufficient land to carry out the projects. Land where the title is in the county or state would be taken over. The three Bad Lands parks, Cornell said, would be connected by a scenic parkway, with county or statecowned land taken ever to carry out such a project. ‘The other sites at which it is pro- posed to establish CCC camps are old Fort Abraham Lincoln and the Indian village site south of Mandan, the Beaver Lake State Park, and the International Peace Garden near Dunseith. Russell Reid, superintendent of the etate historical society, said that at the Indian village and old Fort Lin- coln, improvemients proposed are a water supply and: shelter. General park improvements would be made at the Beaver Lake park, while road work, planting, ‘shelters, foot trails and a water system are among im- provements planned near Dunseith. The camps would be established about the middle of March, Cornell said, if final approval is forthcoming. He declared he was certain two camps would be approved, but that the state would be particularly fortunate if all are allowed. ener ‘CWA Workers Score ,_Failure to Fly Flag While the rest of the nation sites and recommended that the|’ \Fargo Man Sentenced As Habitual Criminal Fargo, N.-D., Feb. 22—(?}—Pleaqing guilty before Judge -Daniel B.

Be careful, however, that you get was celebrating Washington's birthday anniversary Thursday, Bismarck was having a minor tempest as a result of the state government's failure to fly the flag at the state capitol building. CWA workers at the capitol took- exception to the lack of a flag on the pole at the capitol on this, of all days, and numerous hot protests came over the tele- Phone wire to The Tribune. The newspaper was asked to see if it couldn't get something done about the matter—or at least find out why no flag was in evidence. They thought Washington’s mem- ory worthy of better treatment. Captain E. G. Wanner, ‘secre- tary of the board of administra- tion and himself a war veteran, said the reason was that the flag closet atthe capitol was locked and no one there had the key to it. One particularly hot message to The Tribune said there was some talk of flying a red flag, as long as “Old Glory” wasn’t in evi- dence, but that the boys had found a small American flag of their own, instead. Down in Washington, President Roosevelt went to Mount Vernon; each house of congress heard a reading of Washington's farewell address, and War Secretary Dern made a speech saying President Roosevelt is carrying on the ideas of the “Father of His Country.” Power of Decree Is Granted.

These same powers were extended Raymond Poincare during the finan- cial crisis of 1926 and enabled the government to make domestic econo- mies without first. having to submit the program to parliament.
