Mrs, Masterson was born March 28, 1887, in Merrill, where she was brought up and was married to Albert Elsen in 1912. They remained in Merrill until Mr. Elsen's death in 1953. The following year she was married to her childhood friend, James Masterson, in Miles City, where they lived until Mr. Mas-terson's death in 1970.

Another memo, addressed to "Bob" and signed said there was "one man who can accomplish our objective through Johnson, and that man is H.H.H.," an apparent reference to then Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. "Why don't we get word to him on a basis of secrecy that is really, really reliable that we will give him immediately full, unlimited support for his campaign to enter the White House if he will just take this one on for us. Let me know," the memo said. Bourassa SCOBEY Francis L.

On April 4, 1948, he married Delores Angus in Scobey. After the marriage he worked in the Farmers Union Oil Station in Flaxville, and later as a car salesman in Scobey.

Sunday partly cloudy with snow showers in the moun- Simon HOM FACt son recalled that the Cost of Living Council allowed the wholesale price of old oil to increase from $4.25 to $5.25 a barrel reflecting an annual rate of 26 per cent. Prior to that, he said, the administration removed price controls on new oil, allowing the price to go up from $3.40 to more than $10 a barrel in less than a year. Stevenson added that the major oil companies' revenues increased $25 billion in 1973 and predicted they would go up even more this year. "The massive transfer of dollars from consumers to oil companies has already gone too far far beyond the oil companies' ability to invest these funds in expanded exploration," Stevenson said.

He said that under his bill all petroleum price increases would be rolled back to Dec. 1 levels, except for nonpetroleum cost increases such as gasoline station overhead. He said this would cancel about one-fourth of the petroleum price increases of last year. Stevenson was highly critical of President Nixon's proposals to restrict oil company profits by imposing a windfall profits tax and ending the foreign depletion allowance. He said eliminating the depletion allowance was "virtually meaningless" and the President's proposed tax "is nothing more than an excise tax to be levied on the prices of crude oil and passed on to the consumer." Stevenson said the bill that he and Magnuson will introduce also would create a federal oil and gas corporation; divest the major oil companies of the pipelines they now control; reform the gas station franchise system; revise the bidding system for oil and shale leases on federal lands; revise rate structures for industrial use of natural gas, and require complete public disclosure of petroleum inventories.

handwritten memo from Mr. Hughes wherein Mr. Hughes was asking me to make a million-dollar payoff to a President of the United States (Johnson)." Other sources familiar with the case said Hughes wanted to make the payment as part of his effort to get the Atomic Energy Commission to halt nuclear testing in Nevada, partly for environmental reasons and because of fears the test explosions would physically damage his $400 million gambling and hotel empire in the state. "Again in 1970, I talked with Hughes relative to a matter that Mr. Hughes wanted me to handle forthwith and fly to Key Biscayne, Maheu said.

"I went to Key Biscayne, met with Rebozo, and I categorically refused to carry on the instructions of Howard Hughes." The court record is unclear about the purpose of the Florida visit, but one source still close to the Hughes organization told UPI that Maheu's assignment was to offer Rebozo $1 million in exchange for a promise to call off the nuclear testing. (In Washington, deputy White House press secretary Gerald L. Warren said he had no information about the report to be able to comment.) According to Maheu, Hughes' public lobbying for a halt to AEC testing caused considerable concern in the Nixon administration. "President Nixon had offered to either see or converse on the telephone with Mr. Hughes in order to explain the posture of the United States government vis-a-vis the atomic energy testing," Maheu said.

"Mr. Nixon offered to send Mr. Kissinger to Las Vegas to discuss the matter with Mr. Hughes either in person or on the telephone." There is no indication in court documents that such a meeting ever took place. Along with the deposition, Maheu filed a number of undated memos, each handwritten on legal-sized yellow pads, purportedly by Hughes.

Canan said that the separate housing authorities organized the entire movement without BIA intervention and that BIA only provided meeting facilities in Billings. SHROUDS SAID Nixon has not lived up to his promise of five years ago to have 30,000 new housing units built for Indians. "The program is now 8.700 units behind schedule, and there are threats to cut off the remaining construction starts.

"Indians are living in shacks. I work with substandard housing every day. "We are not trying to get something better than other Americans, we only want housing equal to everyone else," Shourds said. The housing authorities organization sent a telegram of their demands for a release of the impounded funds to. Montana Senators Mike Mansfield and Lee Metcalf to Montana Representatives John Melcher and Richard Shoup; to Wyoming Senators Gale William McGee and Clifford Peter Hansen, and to the President.

THE TELEGRAM ended with a request for an answer by 3 p.m. Friday. Melcher was the only one to respond immediately by letter. The other legislators were contacted by phone and the White House deferred until later its answer. Melcher sent a letter Friday to HUD Secretary James T.

Lynn and told him that Congress wanted to proceed with the Indian housing program. "Refusal to do so (proceed) by your office is in violation of the acts of Congress," Melcher wrote Lynn. Shourds said he believed his organization's combined strength would force a release of the money needed for better Indian housing. State to boost price of liquor HELENA (AP) There's bad news for Montanans who have a taste for wine and distilled spirits. The prices are going up.

Kenneth F. Wynn. administrator of the state Liquor Division, said Friday that some prices will be increased effective Feb. 1 at state-owned liquor stores. He said most of the hikes will apply to wine while some brands of distilled spirits also will be affected.

He said new prices are a result of increases charged to the state by suppliers. Sheriff challenger drops out of race tains Lows mostlv 20s Highs 25 to 35.

SHORTLY AFTER Martin made his bid for the Democratic spot on primary ballot, another Laurel man, Ludwig "Lud" Er-lenbach, announced his candidacy. Several other men have sent out political feelers in the county for possible support in their bid for sheriff. But, according to County Clerk and Recorder Merrill H. Klundt, none has formally filed nor paid the $131 filing fee. Maurice Evans, county Democratic chairman, said Friday that his party has not endorsed any person seeking the Democratic spot on the ballot.

"We are prohibited from supporting anyone before the primary," Evans said.

The plaintiffs sought a directed verdict in 13th Judicial District Court presided over by Judge Charles Luedke. The defendant moved to dismiss all action. The motions were denied and the case went to the jury. The high court's opinion said no case should ever be withdrawn from the jury when "reasonable men might draw different conclusions from the evidence." But in this instance, Judge Harrison wrote, this was a case where a driver of a vehicle was following another too closely. He said the high court followed the doctrine "that the primary duty of avoiding a collision rests upon the following driver." He said the lower court should have granted the Rivenes' motion for a directed verdict against Brewer and sent the case back for awarding of damages.

The couple was traveling from Miles City to Billings in January 1971 when their car was struck from the rear by a vehicle driven by Kevin Brewer, who entered the highway west of Forsyth enroute to Hys-ham. The defendant's vehicle struck the Rivenes car in the rear, knocking it across the highway, the court record shows. Both Rivenes testified that after the accident Brewer came Woman sheriff seeks re-election CUT BANK, Mont.

(AP) -Mrs. Jean Gertzen, Montana's only woman sheriff, has filed for re-election to a second four-year term, the female lawman said Friday. Mrs. Gertzen became the state's first elected female sheriff four years ago when she won election as a Democrat. She previously had been appointed sheriff to fill out the unexpired term of her predecessor in Glacier County.

Mrs. Gertzen said she liked the job and wanted at. least four more years of the rigors of enforcing law in northcentral Montana. She has no announced opposition yet. "I guess I like being sheriff, but sometimes I think I should have hired a psychiatrist instead," she said.

Sunrise 8:43 a.m Sunset 6:11 p.m. Senate from PAGE 1 state, not federal, courts. Sen. Archie M. Cochrane, R-Billings, said he would be glad to see state control of job-safety inspections.

Cochrane said his automobile dealership was subjected to nitpicking by federal agents. A bill to open virtually all records of the Workmen's Compensation Division to public scrutiny survived intact from a stormy hearing earlier in the week. The only records that would be shielded from disclosure would be medical information that does not relate to claims for compensation for job-related injuries. The sweeping provisions of the bill had been criticized by representatives of industry, medicine, labor and government. Montana's court system was harshly criticized in debate over a bill aimed at removing drunk drivers from the state's highways.

"We, the public, are fed up with the courts," said Sen. Fred Carl, R-Missoula. "The judges are using their discretion and letting everyone off." The remarks came as the Senate restored life to a bill that would require mandatory jail terms for persons convicted for the third time of driving while intoxicated. The Senate Judiciary Committee sent the House-passed bill to the Senate with an adverse recommendation and the report had been adopted by a 34-14 vote. But the bill was later revived and will be debated next week with a companion bill to establish a point system for traffic violations.

Under the point system, a driver who received a certain mumber of points for infractions would have his license suspended and would be subject to other penalties. Opponents of mandatory jail terms for habitual violators of the laws on driving while drinking say that a justice-court jury will be reluctant to bring in a conviction if they know the defendant faces time in jail. Sen. Jean A. Turnage of Pol-son said it is already hard enough to get a conviction against a drunk driver.

The Republican was Lake County attorney for 10 years. Democrats survived, by a two-vote margin, an attempt by Republicans to breathe new life into a bill that would have created an independent office of ombudsman, or public trouble-shooter, in state government. On Thursday, the Senate rejected the bill, saying Gov. Thomas L. Judge needs more time to experiment with a citizen's advocate in his office.

An attempt to reconsider the death-blow failed in a vote that was mostly along party lines. Minority Leader Jim Moore, R-Two Dot, said the citizens of the state deserve a representative in government who has no political ties or obligations. Such is not the case if the post continues to remain in the executive branch, he said. "I am concerned that we are delegating legislative functions to the executive branch," Moore said. "I do not want to happen in Montana what has happened in Washington.

DC." Majority Leader Neil J. Lynch, D-Butte, said the governor's program has been successful. If problems develop, future legislatures can make the change, he said. High court says judge erred in accident case William A. Martin, the first man to challenge the incumbent Yellowstone County sheriff for the 1974 election, Friday became the first candidate to withdraw.

Lack of money and support from the Democratic Party were given by Martin as the main reasons for dropping out of the competition for the post. Martin, 33, of Laurel, a deputy under the late Sheriff James A. Meeks, and for three months under incumbent Sheriff Dean S. Betzer, opened his campaign by sharply criticizing Betzer. He announced his intentions at the Yellowstone County Democratic Club picnic in July.

MARTIN SAID that since that time, he has run a low-keyed campaign that has continued to attack Betzer's performance. "I started (the campaign) too early, and I was too critical (of Betzer). "I now realize I was talking politics to people when they were not ready to listen. And, I now feel, it is more important to be constructive than continue to be critical," Martin said. Martin will graduate from Eastern Montana College in Friends of DOMINICK GESUALE Are Invited to His 80th BIRTHDAY PARTY JAN.
