"It should be interesting to see how people think they are affected by library and health A survey of 25,000 county residents will help determine budget priorities this year for the county's share of library and health projects. Yellowstone County Commissioners and their administrative assistant, John Self, are hoping to get at least a 50-pcr cent response to a list of 10 questions designed to see whether county residents use library or City-County health services. "We're talking here strictly about those people living outside the city limits of Billings, Laurel and Broadview," Self said Friday. "That means we're talking about 25.000 He said the county commissioners asked him to draft the questionnaire as a means of "seeing if the rural county people think they're getting their money's worth from library and health services." He said the out-of-city people number 25,000 about one-fourth of the county's 93,000 population.

"An honest response to this questionnaire will help the commissioners budget appropriately. Maybe the library deserves more county support. Maybe more health services would be used if available." Or, said Self, "maybe we are overbudgeting and the people aren't really making use of the available services." Self asks the county residents to answer the questions and submit them to the commissioners, Room 101 of the Yellowstone County Courthouse. The questionnaires need not be signed, but Self would like residents to indicate whether they are closest to Billings, Laurel and Broadview. "We will compile the results over the next two weeks and rw.yY N-w A Survey Questions Do you as a resident living outside the City of Billings use the Library in Billings?

Young said the Census Bureau had to weigh questions about living conditions such as the existence of rats and mice, or the presence of swimming pools before including them in the census. "You just stop and think what it is like to be asked if you have a swimming pool, if you live in a South Chicago slum." He told the audience of 14 that while census data is often required by those federal agencies doling out revenue sharing and other funds, information must be "useful in itself" in order to be sought on census forms. Some officials, he said, see the census takers as tools useful for providing a data base making their city eligible for federal grants.

"They see it as a buck in the hand being worth $200 in Washington," he said. By CATHERINE HEALY Of The Gazette Staff The City Council's first venture into the anti-starling business to the tune of $5,000 is well under way, according to Aid. Wilbur Armstrong, head of the mayor's ad hoc starling committee. Bird traps were placed at the Fox Feedlot on Duck Creek and at O'Donnell's Turkey farm west of town Friday afternoon. Jim Nixon, animal control superintendent, said the traps will be baited with corn to attract the hungry birds.

"We know they roost in town and eat men to each work two or three hours a day for him. The bird traps, which cost $500. are one of the four methods the ad hoc committee is experimenting with to eliminate the pesky birds ffom roosting in the 200 and 300 blocks of Yellowstone Clark Avenues. In March, the Park Department hired a professional tree trimmer. He selected the 50 trees with the heaviest foliage and trimmed out some branches.

Art Davidson, a science professor at EMC, said last summer that starlings cluster in dense canopies of foliage. Two other programs will be handled by EMC science By CAROLE LOGE Of The Gazette Staff A trio of spokesmen from the Washington, D.C., Bureau of the Census met with Montana city-county planners Friday to explain plans for the 1980 census. Marshall L. Turner assistant chief of the demographic census staff, Bureau of the Census, gave an overview of the 1980 census. John Pribee, a statistician with the Labor Force statistics branch, population division, pinpointed some questions from the 1970 census which had caused citizen concern.

Arthur F. Young, chief of the housing division for the census -bureau, explained to audience of federal-grant seekers why some census questions which would help their cause have been eliminated. Turner said that the 1980 census takers will mail forms to get information the government compiles for housing authorities, county and regional officials, scholars and businessmen. If the forms are not returned, a census taker will follow up. The census will inquire into a family's life from the number and kind of bathrooms and kitchens to income, amount of rent, and how many live babies women have borne.

Arthur F. Young said: "In all our census work, we walk a tightrope between confidentiality on the one hand, and snooping on the other. "We have to plan for problems that haven't happened yet we are producing a body of information for use in government and commerce for the decade of the 1980's they will have i Gaiello pholo by Jim Krieg professor Norm Schoenthal and his students. They will try mist nets and poison bait. Mist nets are made of very fine meshing that the birds can't see, Schoenthal said.

The nets will be rigged in the direction of the starlings flight patterns and will catch the birds when they fly away. The nets won't be emplaced until later in the summer when the birds begin roosting in town. The poison bait will be put in traps that are a series of mazes designed to keep the smaller songbirds away from the bait. Work begins Tuesday on those traps. Three of the 9th Circuit's 13 judges sat on the Lilley case.

Two of them decided Battin had erred. The case was sent back to Battin for a new trial. Wednesday testimony began and the same basic case was repeated. Then when Red Dog took the stand the story changed. The defense now claims that Lilley was the innocent one of the three and that Lilley was unconscious in the back seat of the trio's car during the robbery-killing.

Red Dog, who cannot be charged again with murder, said he did the killing. DANCE TONITE Music by The MICHAEL J.

The corn will not be poisoned because the traps don't discriminate between song birds and starlings.

That will be the chore of a birdman whose job it will be to check the cages daily. He said that he doesn't know yet how the disposal will take place. That's one of the answers he's waiting to receive from the ad hoc committee. Another unanswered question is who the birdman will be. Right now, Nixon is attempting to raid the motor pool for two CETA (federally-paid tempoary city employes) prosecution at the beginning of the case.

The government attempted to charge all three with both first-degree murder and robbery. Clancy was a juvenile at the time of the incident and failure of the government to correctly proceed against him resulted in the robbery charge being dropped. Clancy pleaded guilty to the murder charge and was sentenced to the federal prison at Sandstone, Minn. Red Dog went to trial before Battin in Billings in December 1973 during which time he testified that he was an unwilling participant in the robbery. He also stated at that trial a year and a half ago that Lilley fired the fatal shot and that he had no idea Steve Lilley was planning a robbery no idea that he was going to shot the owner." ki I 210 N.

He was on trial for the second time before U.S. District Judge James F.

Battin in connection with the murder of William Clark Veseth and robbery at Veseth's business. Testimony in the murder trial of the Fort Peck Reservation pizza parlor owner ended Thursday with an accomplice, James Allen Red Dog, retracting his earlier claims of innocence, saying that he was the one who fired the fatal shot. Lilley was part of a trio of Assiniboine Indians who had been drinking for several hours on the night of Oct. 3, 1973. At 1:30 a.m.

The law says that any murder committed during the commission of a felony has to be ruled first-degree. Angered at the jury, Battin dismissed the manslaughter charge and sentenced Red Dog to 15 years at the federal institution in Lompoc, Calif.
