By PERTINAX BIG POLITICAL EVENTS Biggest political events of recent | and Perry weeks were the appointments of P. O. Sathre to the supreme court to fill the Vacancy created by Burke and of Alvin ©. Struts to the attorne; neralship to succeed| Sathre. es ta They were important in themselves and highly indicative of the direction nee the political winds are wing. Be it remembered that Sathre was ‘one of the few men nominated on the ‘Welford ticket at the primary election in 1936. He was, therefore, one of the pillars upon which Senator Nye, as a real leader of the Welford group, re- lied for help in the re-election cam- Paign now approaching. Sathre’s appointment to the court removes whatever support he might | P@' have intended to give Nye. As a can- didate for judicial office he probably will be uopereae in his attitude. He it he does not actually support ernor Langer in the latter's tive campaign against Nye, he least do the chief executive no The next result may be to the impression of unity at the Non- partisan convention next spring, with members of ‘the Welford group and Langer’s adherents engaging in a eae feast as a re-united political force, Figure out where that leaves Sena- tor Nye and you will understand why most observers labeled the Sathre ap- Pointment a keen political move. * ek MANEY WERE SURPRISED Both appointments came as a sur- prise, Told that the court appoint- ment had been made, one of North Dakota’s best-informed men made six guesses before he got around to Sathre’s name. And it seems that no one on the outside expected the at- torney, generalship to go to Strutz. There had been much speculation about the appointment to Sathre’s old job but Strutz’s name was not men- tioned once. This, however, did not keep.both apponunents from being well re- ceived, : The general feeling is that Sathre can win an election to the supreme court in his own right. Strutz is young, able, aggressive and generally well-liked in the Bis- marck business community. In state Politics he has excellent connections aad no scars arising from past bat- That Struts will be the Nonpartisan endorsee to succeed himself in the job to which he was appointed may be taken for granted. ** * NOT ALL ROSES That things in the state administra- tion camp are not wholly peaceful, however, is evidenced by the dis- charge of Roy W. Frazier from the empler, of the state highway depart- ment At the beginning of this administra- tion Frazier was made superintendent of highway equipment but later re- signed. He was unable to get along with some other persons in the de- partment. Recently he was assigned to the Dickinson division as maintenance superintendent but now, according to reports received by Pertinax, he is out again. It seems that Frazier went out and fired a lot of foremen who had been Properly endorsed by their county Non| committees and who were in good standing. In fact their standing was so good that they were able to demand—and get—Frazier’s scalp. The foremen are back on the payroll. No formal announcement of this in- cident has yet been made but Per- tinax feels the information comes on good authority. The outlook now is that Frazier will be offered the job of state-grain commissioner, which pays well and has no onerous duties. In that job he will be his own boss and will have no trouble getting along with the rest of the folks in the department. There aren’t any. g The post now is held by Joe Wicks, Sioux county politico. What would happen to Wicks rd mentioned. * * HISTORY BEHIND IT The easiest thing for Langer to do would be to accept Frazier's res- ignation and forget him, but there are strong personal ties between the two. It was Frazier who helped wa harm. creat -| tain slope to thi from many Democrats who are only now becoming Moi . PERRY RATHER DESPERATE What doesn't appear on the sur- face is the fact that Perry, who has distributed so many jobs to the party faithful may, himself, be fighting for his job as internal revenue col- lector. It is an open secret that Perry is about as popular with the party's national leaders as the bubonic plague would be. They figure he has been a fine patronage eater but a poor Patronage producer. Hence they want him out as party leader in the State. Pride and several other fac- tors have caused him to fight until the situation is rather precarious. If the anti-Perry group scores a definite victory they are likely to demand—and get—Perry’s political head. If he wins this will be more difficult to do. Removal of Perry would be easy, since he has yet to get an appoint- ment for a second four-year term as Tevenue collector. The same thing is true of most veteran Democrat job- hoders, eke IT ACCOUNTS FOR CHANGES The fact that Perry is in the “dog house” at Washington accounts for some rather significant changes in the Democratic lineup. Everybody an the party knows what the situation Every jobholder who isn’t asleep knows that he can keep his job with- out Perry’s support if he wins favor with Perry’s opponents, He knows that he may lose it if he goes too far in the fight for Perry—and Perry loses. He has an idea that there are some rather spectacular political exe- cutions coming up in the Democratic party and he doesn’t want to be the ae Prominent guest at such a party. The result is that some are backing away from Perry, getting on the anti- Perry bandwagon, even though Perry eee sem their original appoint- ment Weather Report WEATHER FORKUAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Unset- tled tonight and Sunday, possibly some snow; not so cold tonight; cold- er Sunday.

D., Dec. 11—()}— The: story of an 85-year-old bed- ridden man lying helpless for five days in his unheated farm home with the body of his sister in an adjoining room was unfolded here peruray before LaMoure offi- clals. Found half-frozen in his bed, unable to get firewood from an adjoining shed or go to the side of his sister, was Emil Sits who has been taken to the state hospital at Jamestown for care. His sister was Mrs. Augusta Beis- wert, 78, who had kept house for the bachelor farmer during the 40 years he had resided near Diesem. Jacob Lux, a neighbor, found the two when he battered down the door. On Dec. 3 he had visited the couple, taken them supplies and was assured by them that they would be all right for a week, Wednesday he returned to dis- cover the tragedy. Sits told Sheriff C. C. Paulson his sister had died the night of Dec. 3. The coroner said death was from natural causes. BIDS ON GIGANTIC PLANES REQUESTED Pan-American.

Sentence 2 Bemidji Youths to Mandan Devils Lake, Dec, 11 —(?)— Two Bemidji, Minn., youths were sen- tenced to terms in the state train- ing school at Mandan Saturday by District Judge C. W. Buttz after pleas of guilty to a charge of second degree forgery. Russell Williams, 19, and David Kline, 17, were sent to the reforma- tory until they reach 21 years of age. ‘They were charged with raising a check for $3.00, issued by George Munig, Hebster farmer, for half a day’s labor, to $30.00 and cashing it in a Devils Lake business place.

Saxvik Bismarck high school is qualifying for vocational aid in home economics this year for the first time, according to Supt. H. O. Saxvik. This aid is made possible under the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 and also under the George-Dean Act of 1937, which provides more generous aid to vocational homemaking departments. Under the provisions of this latter act every dollar of state money spent for vocational homemaking is matched with two dollars of federal money. Miss Christine Finlayson, who is the State supervisor of vocational home economits in North Dakota, will have Supervision of the local high school work, The vocational program under the new set-up includes two years of homemaking and such subjects as science, biology, and art. This year Bismarck high school is offering @ second year of home eco- nomics, which includes more units in child care, home management, home nursing, consumer buying and family relationship. Additional courses will be offered next year to meet the needs of the growing department. This year Miss Helga Restvedt has as a part time assistant Miss Helen Galyen, who formerly taught in Car- rington. Both of these instructors are graduates of the North Dakota Agri- cultural college. Next year it is hoped Miss Galyen can be relieved of other teaching duties to permi#t her to teach entirely in the home-making department. There are only four out of the 57 vocational schools in the state which employ two-full-time vocational in- structors, They are the Benson County Agricultural school at Mad- dock, the Walsh Lounty Agricultural school at Park river and Grand Forks and Jamestown high schools, The program under the state voca- tional plan also provides mileage for home visitation to secure co-opera- tion and more practical application of home-making in the community. At present the home-making de- partment is still housed in the base- ment of the junior high school, as funds have not been available to finish the rooms intended for such use in the new high school building, In the young whooping crane the windpipe is of normal length, but as the bird matures, the windpipe be- comes elongated out of proportion to the other organs, cranes have five-foot inches of their windpipe is coiled in the keel of the breastbone.

S. Dancer Was Found Paris, Dec. 11—(7)—Police orderet @ half acre of wooded ground around the “death” villa at St. Cloud spaded up Saturday in search for four more possible victims of Eugene Weidmann, confessed slayer of the American dan- cer, Jean De Koven, and four men. They expressed fears that a second American, an unidentified man, might have been snared in the web of a murder-for-profit syndicate of which Weidmann said he was the expert in killing, and they sought light on three women whose identities and fate still are a mystery. Workmen dug in the grounds of the villa where Miss De Koven’s body was found Thursday to determine whether the three women, known only as “Jeannine,” “Caroline” and “Jose- phine,” also had been killed and buried there, The names or monograms of the three were found embroidered on handkerchiefs, clothing and even let- ters and postcards discovered in Weidmann’s lair, Two men and a woman sought as members of the syndicate surrendered to the police Friday for questioning, and a charge of complicity of murder was placed against Roger Million, supposed head of the group, and his woman companion, Brunette Collette Tricot. Jean Le Blanc was held on an open charge. Ward Strike Fight) Fargo Naval Officer 8t.
