Billings, Laurel Projects Planned A $424,000 building program to enlarge Northern Pacific rail and motor transport facilities In Billings and Laurel, will be in full swing early next month, according to word received Saturday by W. Overman, district freight and passenger agent, from W. W. Judson of St. Paul, general manager.

Billings' share of the program Is a $49,000 addition to the Northern Pacific Transport company's office and garage building on South Thirty-third street along the North ern Pacific right of way. Construction of the building, a brick and steel structure, is under way and will be completed by March 1. The addition, necessitated by heavy increase In the transport company's operations, will be 54x110 feet with an ell of 40x50 feet, making additional floor space of 7,940 square feet, according to Judson. A paint shop, parts cleaning room and storage and repair department will be house in the addition. J.

G. Link Company, Billings architects, provided plans and specifications and the Halvorson Construction company of Billings and Salem, was awarded the contract. Construction of a plant at Laurel for the generation of steam power to operate machinery will run approximately $375,000, Including equipment, Judson said. The plant, expected to be completed by late summer, will replace the present main and auxiliary plants, which will be converted to other shop uses. The building will be situated Immediately west of the roundhouse and will be of reinforced concrete, steel and brick.

Equipment will Include three 300-horsepower water tube boilers with spreader stokers and coal crusher and coal and ash-handling machinery. Contract for construction has been awarded the Cahill-Mooney Construction company of Billings and Butte, and mechanical equip ment has been purchased and is being stored awaiting installation, Overman said. The original plant was built in 1907, and In 1922 was equipped with three 100-horsepower boilers. An auxiliary, the car shop power plant, was constructed in 1931 and is equipped with two 75-horsepower locomotive boilers. Hawaii Sought As 49th State Washington, Dec.

22. The admission of Hawaii "In the Im mediate future" as the forty-ninth state in the Union was recommended Saturday by Secretary of the Interior Ickes. The people of the Pacific ocean outpost already have voted in the ratio of 2 to 1 in favor of statehood. The final decision on admittance will be up to congress which will check up on the territory's qualifications through a committee visit next month. Ickes announcement was unex uculku.

Four po- licemen and three civilians were wounded, with three reported se riously hurt. Reports said seven men, taken to the station on charges of disturbing the peace, began shooting when they entered the building. Other men reportedly fired into the station from the outside.

One man was shot as he reached inside pages carried inconsequential news and the two outside pages still were blank. Unofficial reports said an attack was attempted also against the tele phone exchange in Colon. The mayor of Colon and a strong police guard were reported to be in the exchange building with the situation under control. A brief flurry of excitement, including some shooting, occurred In Panama City when police headquarters in Panama rushed an armed detachment to the presidential palace as a safety measure after hearing of the attempted coup In Colon. The presidential guard opened fire when they saw the armed men jumping from a car, but as soon as the reinforcements identified themselves the shooting ended.

Panama City was quiet, and apparently news of the Colon attempt was not generally known for several hours after it had occurred. Arias, who was ousted as president of Panama in October 1941, returned from exile in Argentina to Panama last October.

O'REGAN Heidelberg, Germany. Dec. 22.

WD Past sorrowing lines of his comrades In arms, the body of General George Smith Patton, was borne Saturday ninht to ancient Villa Reiner, where the warrior wilh lie in state until funeral services Sunday, Patton, one of the most vivid figures in American military history, will be laid to rest Christmas eve in a United States military cemetery at Hamm, Luxembourg, in soil hallowed by the blood of his fellow fighting men in the gallant United States Third army. The steel casket, draped with the banners of the United States Third, Seventh and Fifteenth armies, was placed In the oak-paneled drawing room of the Villa. The spacious room was filled with fresh roses and carnations flown In from France. The somber tones of an organ, played in an upstairs room by Sergeant Joseph Crosby of Corvallls, broke the solemn silence. Fifty military policemen, commanded by Lieutenant William Hlg-genbotham of Fairmont, W.

stood guard in relays of 10. As dusk descended over this old university city, a regulation army ambulance bearing the body moved out of the yard of the 130th station hospital, where Patton died late Friday. Silent American soldiers stood stiffly at attention, their arms raised in salute, as the procession wound through the twisting cobblestone streets. Stolid Germans watched unemotionally. The Third and Seventh armies, both of which Patton had commanded with brilliant mi'ttary suc cess, will share responsibility for the services.

Messages of tribute and sorrow poured In from all parts of the world. In the European theater, American soldiers lowered all flnRS to half staff, and closed all soldier clubs and Installations in mourning. Patton's comrades will conduct Episcopalian services at 3 p. m. (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) Review Strikes Since V-J Day Washington, Dee.

22. (P) The labor department counted up the strikes since V-J day Saturday and concluded that most of the nation's Industrial plants "are proceeding with production without work stoppage or significant labor-management controversies." From the end of hostilities In the Pacific through December 21, the department estimated that about 1,650 work stoppages occurred. The conciliation service was Instrumental In settling 1 .256 of the 1,450 which were terminated, the labor denartment said. Strikes or lockouts since V-J day Involved about 1,550.000 workers who lost about 24.000,000 man days of work 84100 per cent of the total available working time of the nation's wage earners. The figures do not include plants shut down or crippled because of the lack of materials or parts from plants closed by strikes The department said In a stat ment awompanvlng Its routine November strike figures, that: "Labor-m anagement disputes which result in strikes often overshadow the fact that most of the nation's Industrial plant are proceeding with production without work stoppages or significant controversies." The dfpartment.

Fald that more than half of the total Idleness In No- ivember resulted from four strikes. Many Billings churches will hold special Christmas services Sunday, including church school programs and parties, and the theme of all regularly scheduled Sunday morn ing and evening worship services will be the birth of the Saviour. Some churches will also hold Christmas eve and Christmas day services observing the first peace time yuletide in four years. In the American Lutheran church a choral service will be held at 11 a. m.

Sunday, and at 7:30 p. m. the intermediate department of the Sunday school will present a program. Monday at 11 p. m.

candles will be lighted In the traditional Christmas eve service. A Christ- mas morning festival is scheduled at 11 o'clock. The Sunday school Christmas program in the Trinity Church of! the Nazarene is scheduled for 7:15, p. m. Sunday.

A pageant, "Unto Us Is Born A Saviour," will be presented at 7:30 p. m. Sunday at the First Baptist church. The Billings Gospel Tabernacle Sunday school will have a Christ- mas program at 7:30 p. m.

Sun i i 1 entry Into the United States within established Immigration quotas ol European war refugees at the rate I of about 39,000 a year. Most of them will come from central and eastern Europe and the Balkans where approximately 2,000,000 persons are said to be homeless. The effect of the order Is to require thnt the regular immigration quotas from those countries be filled with persons whom the war drove away from their homes and who, for one reason or another, are not returning. There will be little room left for other nationals of those countries who may want to come here. "Tills is the opportunity for America to set an example for the rest of the world in cooperation towards alleviating human misery," the president said In a statement.

Along with the statement the White House made public an of flclal directive to six federal agen cles to put the plan into effect. The president said the war has brought "an appalling dislocation of populations" and added that it is "common decency" to provide homes for thousands of these displaced persons. Several months ago he asked Britain to allow 100.000 homeless Jews to enter Palestine, but Britain refused to agree to the figure and the two countries now have a Joint commission studying the whole problem. The president not only directed normal resumption of quota immigration to take care of displaced persons desiring to come to this country, but spoke out vigorously against any legislation at this time which would either prohibit or severely reduce further Immigration and commented: "Tills period of unspeakable human distress is not the time for us to close or to narrow our gates.

22. -(P) No congress In recent years hua faced an election-year docket as laden with controversy as that which confronts the seyenty-nlnth when it reconvenes next month. Between January 14 when they come back from vacation, and next summer when they hope to get away for political campaigning, the legislators must grapple with more than a dozen major subjects, each primed with political dynamite. There are many Items on President Truman's legislative program that haven't been acted on, and there are many others, not on the chief executive's priority list, that are likely to become bitter Issues, The senate In particular faces a prospect of diving Immediately Into a row, with Senators Ball, Republican, Minnesota, and Chavez, Democrat, New Mexico, planning to bring up the bill for a permanent fair employment practices committee. That plan has started trouble every time It has come up, Senator Bilbo, Democrat, Mississippi, already has let It be known he will filibuster.

Some time before May 15, congress must decide what it wants to do about the draft law. It expires then, and many members of con- (Contlnued on Page 7, Column 5.)

The United States formally recognized the new government of Yugoslavia Saturday, but simultaneously criticized its tactics in the elections which it recently held. Britain also announced recognition. In recognizing the regime headed by Marshal Josip Broz-Tito, the United States and Britain thus gave their legal sanction to the liquidation of another of Europe's rapidly-vanishing monarchies. Tito's government rushed a law through Its constituent assembly November 29 which ousted 22-year-old King Peter from the throne and abolished the Karadjordjevlc dynasty. Peter thus was abandoned by the nation which served as headquarters lor his Yugoslav government-ln-ex-lle during much of the war.

The young king has lived In England most of the time since his country was overrun by the German army In 1941. The American decision to recog nize Tito's regime In the form which it adopted following November elections was communicated by Acting Secretary of State Dean Achesorr to Yugoslav Ambassador Stanoje Slmlc In Washington. Acheson said the United States as sumed that the Yugoslav govern ment would accept responsibility for that nation's international obligations and would confirm existing treaties and agreements between the two countries. When assured of these actions, the United States will accredit Ambassador Richard C. Patterson, to the new Yugoslav regime in Belgrade, Acheson said.

The outspoken American disapproval of Tito's tactics was contained in instructions sent by Acheson to Ambassador Patterson and made public by the state department. These instructions said the Yugoslav government had not made good Its pledges to extend the basic freedoms to Its people and asserted that the elections November 11 did not provide a free choice of representatives for the assembly. The instructions said the United States government wants it under-' stood that establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tito regime should not be interpreted as apprqv-at of its policies, "its methods of assuming control or its failure to implement the guarantees of personal freedom promised Its people." Patterson was told to emphasize that the American people and government have "only the friendliest sentiments" toward the Yugoslavs and expect developments which would make possible desirable (Continued on Page 2, Column 6.)

22. President Truman has presented to the country the Democratic administration's alibi for the Pearl Harbor attack failure to have a single department of defense. This makes Pearl Harbor a campaign Issue, along with the proposal for a military dictatorship through a single chief of staff. Truman has Ignored the fact that it was the army's primary responsibility to defend Pearl Harbor, yet he proposes a single department of defense which puts two army organizations in the preponderant position and relegates the United States navy to a subordinate posi tion by depriving it altogether of the voice It had at the cabinet table. The president reverses the age old saying that "two heads are better than one" by Insisting now that one head is better than two.

With an arbitrary form of sion that doesn't sound like Truman at all but more like the war department folks who presumably helped him write the message, the president disposes of the Idea of further discussion by the men best able to Inform the public. He promptly follows this up by allowing an order to be Issued to all navy officers to suppress their views and not speak or write unless called before a congressional committee.
