The two waived a hearing for court when-they were accused by Mr. Guthrie, who appeared as a witness before Alderman Gregg. Mr. Guthrie charges that Brownfield and Moser have invaded a 10-acre plot which the prosecutor purchased from the county commissioners for taxes. The disputed plot formerly' consisted of three acres and was claimed years ago by Bill Jennings, whom residents of the mountainous district say was a squatter arid never had a deed.

Although Brownfleld claims only three acres are in controversy Guthrie has been deeded ten. "Mamie Johnson and her six children live on the plot and they're going to stay there," emphasized Ash as he discussed the controversial land. Guthrie has no right to the acreage and I'd like to see him get it. There is a house there and Mamie Johnson and her family are going to stay there." Judge Carr, in dismissing the trespass charge brought by Perry Tate against Brownfield and Mo- declared that the case was not such where he could decide the question of disputed titles such as exist.

Mr. Moser laid no claim to the property but no one appeared to be able to definitely fix the boundary lines. "Jennings Lane," formerly a township road, was the center of the maelstrom. Moser, who had hired Brownfield to aid in clearing a road into his land, declared that he did not believe the tract he was clearing was owned by the Tates, who said the land had been deeded to their mother, Martha, and was a part of their inheritance. Tate testified that "no trespassing" signs he had posted were torn down by the defendants, who invaded his property.

(International) Low Interest Rates For Auto Purchasers Assured by New Law WILDLIFE NOTES Wildlife got break in the Senate committee recommendations on the 1947-48 Interior appropriation bill, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. The committee increased the House recommendation for the Fish und Wildlife Service by passed the Federal aid in wildlife (Pittman-Robertson) provision, which allots to the states the total revenue collected yearly from the 11 per cent excise tax on arms and ammunition sales. With the Senate confirmed, budgetary increases, larger receipts in migratory bird conservation (duck stamp) money, plus an estimated $6,000,000 in P-R funds, wildlife will benefit from a record high in financial aid, and at a time of greatest need.

Under the P-R amendment, the states will get times more Federal aid in Wildlife funds than before, which will enable them to put into actual use many of the known practices and techniques learned through previous research. A high! percentage of the new state funds, i the Institute believes, will go to permanent improvements, land acquisition and environmental developments for wildlife.
