*% THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1936 FIRST BONUS BONDS MAY NOT BE READY UNTIL MID-SUNMER ‘Those Whose Needs Are Taken Care of by Payment Will Be Cut Off Relief Washington, Jan. 29.—(#)—The word went out Wednesday that many veterans may have to wait until mid- Talmadge Party Georgia Governor Says States’ Rights More of an Issue Now Than in 1861 Macon, Ga. Jan. 29.—(?)—Gov. [Eugene Talmadge of Georgia callea upon Southern Democrats at an anti- Roosevelt meeting here Wednesday to summer to receive the “demand note” bonds with which congress decided to Pay the bonus. So gigantic is the task of distribu- tion, said President Roosevelt at a press conference Tuesday, that the first bonds may not go out much be- fore July 1, although congress made them cashable on June 15. ‘The president sald that the ques- tion of whether new taxes are neces- sary to meet the obligation is being studied. Administration officials said pay- ment of the bonus was expected to remove many veterans from the needy class and thereby reduce the cost of next year’s relief program. They said no blanket order will be issued cutting bonus recipients off the work relief rolls, but those whose needs are provided for by the baby bonds will no longer be eligible for re- lief jobs. Work relief will be extended as in the past to those without other re- sources And in need. If a veteran is still in that class, after payment of the bonus, he will continue to get help. If not, he won't. As one official described the situa- tion, a veteran might get $1,000 on his bonus certificate, use it to pay urgent debts, arid still be in dire need. An- other veteran, who had managed to keep his head above water by working on relief, would be able to get along for a while on the cash he received. MAN ASKS COURT T0 DETERMINE HIS HOME Challenges Right of Law to Or- der His Removal After Es- tablishing Residence The right of a family of seven to temain in North Dakota, despite a court order directing their removal tu Marshall county in Minnesota, will be determined next month by the state supreme court. Emery Dufault, Grand Forks bridge workman, appealed to the state su- preme court to determine whether he is a resident of North Dakota, and as such entitled to remain within the state. With his wife and five minor child- ren, Dufault came to Grand Forks Sept. 12, 1934, after drouth had ‘wiped out his farm crops and mort- gages had taken his property, his ap- peal brief declares. On Sept. 30, 1935, he claims, he re- ceived his first relief from Grand Forks county. Subsequently, the county began a removal action against the family, claiming Dufault was a resident of Minnesota. The county obtained an order from District Judge P. G. Swenson, direct- ing the family be returned to Mar- shall county, as its residents. Du- fault’s attorney, Carroll E. Day, ar- gued in his brief Marshall county had denied the family was a resident of that subdivision. Dufault further contends he recov- ered no relief from the county until after he had resided within the coun- ty for a year, thus becoming a resident of the state for relief purposes. He asks the high court declare the order of removal to be “null and void.” Low Rates May Halt Northwest Airlines Washington, Jan. 29.—(%)—Croil Hunter, vice president and general manager of the Northwest Airlines, Inc., was on record Wednesday with testimony the firm may have to halt operations within 30 days unless it obtains an airmail rate increase. Hunter told the interstate commerce commission at a hearing that North- west Airlines, which operates a mail line between Chicago and Seattle, has almost exhausted its cash and sees no possibility for borrowing funds. Further drastic cuts in expenses, Hunter said, would impair safety. The company seeks a “fair” increase in the basic rate of 25 cents per mile for loads up to 300 pounds.

Rue, himself, will be in charge at the opening and the services of other Legionnaires have been enlisted to keep the office open as long as may be necessary to help Burleigh county veterans arrange to obtain the baby bonds due them under the recent con- i gressional enactment. Rue called attention to the fact that veterans wishing to apply for their bonus payment should bring with them copies of their army dis- charge and of their adjusted compen- sation certificate. If they have bor- rowed on their bonus they also must bring with them the pink slip which they were given at the time of the Joan. If any of these items are missing, Rue said, the business of handling the applications becomes more compli- cated and it will be necessary to ob- tain this information from the fed- eral veterans’ bureau. Where neces- sary the Legion will assist in obtain- ing this information, Rue said. He warned, also, that it will be nec- essary for veterans to apply in per- ; Son since their fingerprints must be {taken and sent to Washington along with the application for cash pay- ment. These, presumably, will be matched against the fingerprints of the veterans taken when they were in service. Several Burleigh county men al- Teady have sent in their papers but | will have to appear personally to pro- vide fingerprints, Rue said. 3 ELEVATORS BURN AT PLEASANT LAKE Community Near Devils Lake Battles Flames Futilely in Subzero Weather Pleasant Lake, N. D., Jan. 29.—(?)— Fire early Wednesday morning lev- eled three grain elevators here as Pleasant Lake townspeople and mem- bers of the fire department of Rugby, HETTINGER OUSTER ACTION SET FEB, 3 Judge John C. Lowe to Sit in Third Episode of Wrangle Over Power Hettinger, N. D., Jan. 29—()—An- other chapter in Hettinger’s turbulent utilities controversy will open here Feb. 3, when hearing will be held on action to remove three members of the city council. Third judge to hear legal steps in the battle of private versus municipal power, District Judge John C. Lowe will preside over the ouster hearing. Based on a petition to Attorney General P. O. Sathre, a writ of quo warranto ordering Councilmen J. S. Graham, M. T. Quickstad and.Ed. C. Arnold to show cause why they should not be removed from office was issued by District Judge F. T. Lembke. The petition, alleging councilmen are ineligible on grounds their per- sonal and real estate taxes due the city are in arrears, was filed with the attorney general by N. R. St. Marie, George D. Tripp, Ira T. Hall, R. E. Knudson and Arthur Eneberg. The petition was returned by Sathre to Lembke, who issued the writ. Sa- thre appointed J. K. Murray, Het- tinger, special assistant attorney gen- eral to prosecute the writ. The action is a sequel to the Het- tinger light and power controversy dispute ich arose over a petition signed by taxpayers and filed with the council for a special election to vote on a proposed municipal power plant. This was refused by council on grounds the treasury was too bare of funds to hold the election. When the franchise of the Montana-Dakota Power company neared expiration, Dec. 5, a taxpayers committee secured a temporary restraining order pre- venting the council from renewing or granting a new franchise. Subsequent effort to obtain a per- manent restraining order failed, how- 4 ever, when District Judge Harvey Mil- Jer, New England, ruled there were not sufficient acts alleged to consti- tute cause of action, dismissed the case, and granted a 90-day stay of ex- ecution for appeal. The controversy then swerved to a new angle, the petitioners attempting to remove members of the council. SARLES WILL OPEN OFFICES AT FARGO New RRA Manager to Acquire Land for Resettlement Pur- poses in Eastern N. D. Earl Sarles, new state manager of rural resettlement projects for the Resettlement Administration, wil: have his headquarters in Fargo and will be responsible to Cal Ward, re- gional head with offices at Lincoln, Neb. Sarles’ duties will be to acquire land in the eastern part of the state upon which the government will place farm families whose homes have been pur- chased in connection with the land utilization program in the western part of the state. The idea, Sarles said, fs to place those who have shown ability as farmers on land of their own, which the government will sell to them un- der a contract carrying a low inter- est rate and which gives them 36 years in which to pay. The tracts will vary in size from 160 to 240 acres and where necessary the government will construct on them such buildings as are necessary to get the new owner started. A part of the plan is for the government tu give advice and assistance in connec- tion with the management and fi- nancial affairs. No land will be purchased for this purpose west of the 100th meridian, which runs along the western edge of Stutsman county, Sarles said. Neither will any farmer now on land be dispossessed. Tremendous tracts now are owned by banks, insurance companies and other investors, he said, and in some cases tennants are farming several thousand acres of land. Under the proposed system this land would be divided up among a much larger num- ber of persons, near here, battled the flames in sub- zero weather. 4 Originating in a coal shed where bales of hay were stored, the fire was discovered at 4.a.m. It was thought under control before a dust explosion an hour later ignited the elevator of the St. Anthony Elevator company and quickly spread to the structures of the Pleasant Lake Grain company and the Crookston Milling company, both operated by the Kellogg Com- mission company. Sparks carried by a strong west wind landed on the roofs of the latter two buildings, which “burned from top to bottom like candles,” leaving firefighters, working with chemical equipment, helpless. A locomotive brought here from Rugby pulled box cars out of danger, although two burned, as did two coal sheds. The depot was not endangered. | No estimates of damage were made pending checkups by elevator man- agers, who saved books and records. | Doctors Remove | Pain in the Neck | 4 ee —- Chicago, Jan. 29.—(}—Miss Anna Shromek, 22, had a pain in the neck for a year. Then she went to a hospital. ‘i Dr. M. I. Edelman looked down her throat last night, saw a shiny something, pulled it out. It was an inch and a half long needle. VETERAN MINER DIES Butte, Mont. Jan. 29.—(#)—Wil- liam (Billy) Husband, veteran miner who worked veins in Michigan, Mex- ico, Arizona, Utah, the Dakotas and Montana, is dead. Sarles’ resignation with the WPA will become effective Feb. 1 and he will take up his work with the re- settlement administration on Feb. 3. Sewer Blasts Fatal To Minnesota Woman Montgomery, Minn., Jan. 29.—(?)}— Activities in this explosion-rocked community were under state-ordered discipline Wednesday in precaution against any new calamity. State fire marshals, investigating the sewer explosions which killed Mrs. Mary Peterka, 82, and wrecked two dwellings, ordered all public meeting places closed. City officials theorized the blasts developed from accumulated sewer gas under ice covered manholes. One blast damaged the home of Mrs, Mary Novotny and she suffered serious burns to face and body.
