However, the blast shot a cloud of purplish, grey dust one mile into the sky, blew out windows in barracks one-half mile away and rattled windows in Idaho Falls, 35 miles from the scene.

Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich) told reporters today that he and Chairman Kilgore (DrWVa) had reached an understanding on the housing inquiry and that investigators already are doing "spade work" preliminary to formal hearings later on.

'What we have got to do is find out what are the bottlenecks and what can be done to break them," Ferguson added. 'The housing sit-! uation is the most serious problem of the country." The Michigan senator has been urging the committee to drop L. everything else, if necessary, and turn it attention to that problem. Kilgore agreed that the situation merited study but held up a decision last week pending study of the committee's jurisdictional scope. The West Virginian indicated he Slanted to be sure the committee did not start delving into matters over which other Senate groups might claim jurisdiction.

This reiterated Russian in-sistance on a share in military con' trol of the straits and asked for negotiations directly with Turkey However, he flatly denied pub One of the most beneficial of all the numerous kinds of service which make up the standards of living in our country today is that of a free, intelligent, and progressive press. In South Dakota, we may be justly proud of our free, intelligent and progressive press. Throughout the years, It has been free in the cosmic use of that term.

It has been free generally from control of large chains or syndicates or interests outside of the state who might direct its policies and operations from the financial personal interest standpoint alone. It has been free in a larger sense of that term in that our editors have quite generally maintained a spirit of freedom of opinion in all of their work. Frequently, I have witnessed examples of our dailies and weeklies carrying paid advertisements of different kinds of various interests, public or private, or political advertisements and yet in the same issue expressing their own editorial comments and opinions much in conflict with what the advertisement was trying to promote. That is really freedom of the press in its truest and best sense. Likewise, it is conservative to state that the South Dakota press has generally been quite intelligent and progressive.

Many of the great strides of progress in education, development of natural resources, and administration of government, both state and local generally, have been due to the intelligent, courageous, and progressive leadership of this kind of press. One of the most valuable of all the guarantees of our Constitution is the guarantee of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. So long as the people maintain those freedoms in the true sense of the word so that neither the government nor any organized minority nor any particular class or group can obstruct or fetter the freedom of the press, our liberties will be more secure and our progress more secure and our progress more certain. Therefore, on this National Newspaper week, I congratulate the South Dakota press upon the maintenance of these policies and ideals throughout its history.

"The law is for your protection; the officers who enforce It are your friends," he asserted. Two-way radio equipment in state and local patrol cars offers an added measure of protection, Ooetz said, and he commended newspapers and radio "which have done everything possible to assist the patrol in bringing the facta before the public."

The league further believes, the visiting officers Baid, that municipalities should be allocated at least 50 per cent of the total liquor revenue, exclusive of beer. The 1945 Legislature granted 25 per cent of the 10 per cent gross liquor tax to cities.

"There should be a more equitable distribution of the road users' funds," Falk said. "Revenue from license fees, gas tax and compensation for the use of highways now goes to the state highway commission, the townships and the counties. Municipalities get nothing. For Change In Financing "A change should be made in the method of financing municipal streets and alleys. There is need for a system whereby trunk highways through municipalities carrying heavy public traffic can be financed by other than adjoining property owners.

While trying to recover Monday morning from the after-affects of too much chicken at The Argus-Leader party Sunday I breezed into one of these food emporiums for an informal visit with such a "club." WHAT DO PEOPLE talk about on such occasions? Well, there was a discussion of Harold Brad-felt's prize-winning Impersonation of a local character at the Country club Saturday night. of Oscar Wermuth's appearance there. of Duke Tufty's torn britches.

Then the discussion waxed from an argument over whether a better or poorer education can be obtained in a school like the University of Minnesota when enrollment is crowded at the 26,000 figure. admiration of a nifty tube of lipstick with attached mirror which one of the girls was using. the high costs of clothes for one of the girls who is to be married in January. a sfgh of relief that restaurants do not use processed butter like the army served overseas.
