Too much of Wyoming's far-flung acreage already was publicly-owned, it was argued. The idea of the President of the United States designating a few thousand more acres to be prese in its natural state so that all Americans might enjoy it for generations to come was called a capricious en- croachment on local rights.

ARMY FAVORITISM In the Battle of the Bulge, for instance, the man who consistently and emphatically warned his su- periors that the 'Germhans were going to attack was Col. B. Abbott Dickson, Chief of Intelligence for the Second Army. Based on inter- views with German prisoners, he wrote a report on Dec. 10, 1944, six days before the attack, warning that it was coming. His report, labelled “No. 37,” is in the files of the War Department But on Dec. Col. Dickson’s superior intelligence officer in the 12th Army Group wrote a report saying that no such attack was possible. The man responsible for this report was Gen. Edwin L. Sibert.

Sibert, the man who was wrong, has been promoted to be top-ranking intelli- | gence officer in the entire U. S Army in Germany. Again, Col. Otis K. Sadtler and Col. J. R. 8. Bratton, the two col- onels who urged and begged that something be done about warning Pearl Harbor just before the Japs struck, never got one single, soli- tary promotion. Other colonels and lieute all around them were to be generals. Col Bedell €mith, who did not act on Sadtler’s and Bratton’s suggestions, is now to be Deputy Chief of Staff.

They have now ruefully dis- covered how that behind Tom’s ger smile and easy-going manner are some ramrod con tions not easily swayed by political sympathies. For instance, Clark bearded t lion in its den the otk day by appearing before the cksonville Fla., Convention of State Attorneys General and flatly opposing their ideas on submerged oil lands.
