The necessity of bringing agricul- ture and business together in closer relationship in order to pull the ag- ricultural northwest out of the de- pression was stressed by the speaker. “Bread and butter” learning as ex- emplified in the 4-H club work was lauded by the judge, who closed his talk by complimenting the leaders in the club program. President Makes Response Margaret Anderson of Wilton, county 4-H club president. for the last year, made the response to the wel- come. She thanked the Rotarians and other civic organizations which made it possible for the varlous clubs to compare work with that done in Other 4-H clubs.

They calied his story “hot stuff.” For months governinent agents ranged several sections of the country trying to locate Speicher, a Washington representative of a tire company. Recently the de- partment found him in New York and subsequently, officials said, he told his story. ‘They asserted it was a spectacu- lar account of intrigue and un- der-cover efforts by lobbyists to obtain government business. U. 8. Attorney Lesiie C. Gar- nett, who conducted a grand jury analysis of the department's affairs last winter, now has Speicher’s testimony. All details are being checked by justice de- partment agents. Simultaneously, it developed Saturday, that the house military affairs committee which started an investigation of the depart- ment’s contract-awarding system, is planning to reassemble in Washington shortly to resume its inquiry.

CONFLICT SEEN FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY Liberalization and Reorganiza- tion Become Subjects for Debate Washington, Nov. 17.—(?)—A well- defined conflict has developed among those who seek to “liberalize” the Republican party. One group, led by Senator Borah of Idaho, is demanding a “major operation” to reorganize the party and provide it with new leadership. Others, less militant, believe the lib- eralization can be effected by evolu- tion, gradually, withou: the use of the “Big Stick.” ‘Then there is the “regular” group of unyielding G.O.P. stalwarts who feel the party needs no reorganiza- tion. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, is one of their spokesmen. The division of opinion emphasizes that the factional lines displayed in the senate for several sessions still exist. To some observers it indi- cates there is little chance of an immediate coalition between the western independents and the “in- betweeners” such as McNary of Ore- gon, Vandenberg of Michigan and Capper of Kansas. Borah is outspoken ir. his demand for a thorough house-cleaning. He demands repudiation of the old party leaders. The less militant “liberal- izers” feel that such a major opera- tion on the’“Grand Old Party” is not necessary. 3 Montana Hunters Killed This Season Helena, Mont., Nov. 17.—(?)—Mon- tana Friday surveyed a toll of at least three dead and a dozen injured or maimed, victims of the annual quest for big game which close Thursday night. Due largely perhaps to an open sea- son with little snow and hunting not at its best, the death toll was seven under 1933, but the known list of wounded was just as great. Two of the fatalities came within 48 hours of the close of the season ‘and both were charged by authorities to mistaking hunters for wild game. That a relatively small bag of game would be recorded was the belief of State Game Warden J. W. Carney. YOUTHS KILL BURGLAR Mayhew Lake, Minn., Nov. 17—(P}— Two farm youths who interrupted him as he burglarized a general store here shot and killed Carl Sather, Lit- tle Falls, early Saturday, they toid Sheriff Joseph Winkelman DECISION 10 REVAMP SET-UP REACHED AT FRIDAY CONFERENCE North Dakota Will Be Taken Out of Federalized Status by Dec. 1 MUST RAISE SOME FUNDS Plan for Obtaining Monies ir State Indefinite Pending Survey Discussion of relief problems, ano necessity 2f the state raising funds with which to match federal monies marked a conference Friday between Governor-Elect Thomas H. Moodie, Governor Ole H. Olson an T. J. Edmonds, regional director of the FERA. A definite decision to take North Dakota out of the federalized status, and place it back into the class of states controlling relief funds war reached at the meeting. The thange to a system in vogu prior to the removal of deposed Gov. ‘William Langer as nominal head prob- ably will come by Dec. 1, Gov. Olson said. Olson thus would make an application to Washington for alloca- tion of funds to the state. The monies would become state funds, in- stead of federal. Speed in handling distribution of relief and other activ- ities in connection with administra- tion would be greatly facilitated, Olson said. Necessity for the state raising funds with which to supplement federal relief money was regarded as cer- tain by those attending the confer- ence although neither the present chief executive nor Moodie would commit himself. Any monies to be raised, and methods by whith they would be obtained, may rest largely on results of a state-wide survey of various Political subdivisions, now being made by the FERA, it was pointed out at the meetng. Taking an active part in the conference were Supreme Court Justice A. M. Ohristianson, president of the newly-formed North Dakota Rural Rehabilitation corpor- ation and E. A. Willson, state admin- istrator of FERA. Following the conference, Edmonds left for the Twin Cities, while Moodie departed for Jamestown, Moodie was uncertain whether he would go to Washington to confer with relief officials, He may at- tend a gathering of reef authorities at Chicago, to be called by Ed- monds, it was revealed. His Power Increased, Long Sees Grid Game Baton Rouge, La. Nov. 17.—(?)— Armed with a new set of laws he wrote to increase his power over state affairs, and his popularity to main- jtain that power, U. 8. Senator Huey P. Long, Louisiana's political dictator, took the day off Saturday to see the Louisiana State-University of Missis- sippi football game at Jackson, Miss. He left Friday at the close of the five-day special session of the legis- lature that passed 44 bills at his bid- ding with hardiy a ripple of opposi- tion. Gov. O. K. Allen, Long’s ally, said he would sign the bills in “four or five days.” 2 Long’s new laws throttle his politi- cal opposition, especially in New Or- leans, increase his state-wide say-so in municipal affairs, and develop \ some phases of his “share the wealth” program.
