Mean waiter the house killed a bill which would have granted a liquor license to Country clubs outside corporate limits and referred the 6-mlUIon-dollar aid to education bill to the appropriations committee.

Ferguson said he Introduced the pheasant bill 'to give farmers' time to pick" more of their corn before the season started.

Representative Burgess said that Rapid City residents had an investment of around a half million, dollars in a golf course outside Rapid City. As is the case inmost Country clubs, some liquor is consumed Illegally, Burgess said. Burgess said, he understood he was talking on an unpopular subject liquor. 1 Representative John Buehler, Emery, made most of the argu ment against the bill. Afraid of Precedent Buehler wanted to know If the club gets the' license, who is going.

to do the law enforcing. "If we grant the license, what is to prevent other groups from coming in two years later and asking for the same Buehler asked. We are setting a bad precedent, he said. Meanwhile. two bills were introduced in the house.

One, by Representative I. A. Gabbert Meadow), would provide that surface owners of former rural credit lands should get one-fourth interest in royalties from oil and gas developments.

ROBERTS A. P. News Anaylst The importance of the-initiative being takea by Turkey to align the middle east with the North Atlantic nations can be measured by Egypt' irritation. Egypt, fighting hard for he leadership of the area, even used the threat of' withdrawal from the Arab league In an fort to get Iraq to change its mind about a defense treaty with Turkey. far it seems to have had no effect.

Indeed, the Arab league's discussions in the last few days have shown Syria, Lebanon and Jordan lean ing away from Cairo policy, despite their fears that Iraq, with her military power through allied aid, will re-new her ideas about consolidation of the area under her wn rule. They may be beginning to realize, however, that British influence would be' their best defense if they formed a group aligned with the west Turkey also would be likely to offer guarantees, Egypt is trying for reconsoli-dation of the Arab league under a policy of neutralization. -This comes at 'a time when thre Indian neutralists led by Jawaharlai Nehru are active in promoting thejr policy in the middle east and Africa, with Nehru about to visit Cairo and an Asia-African conference conv ing up. Meanwhile, observers I agreed as to how far Egypt would carry her opposition. It was considered possible that she would be satisfied with a compromise by which Iraq would not make automatic commitments to Turkey1 in direct violation of Arab interests.

It was even possible that the Would eventually Join the trend toward the west tersely guarantees against Israel and sufficient military and economic aid to maintain Iter lora leadership, which has slipped good bit. The Arabs haven't forgotten the imperial Turkey of a rela tively few years ago, and its frequent misuse of; too; 'much power. There is a basic tendency to steer clear of her. But one-of the chief tacts of life in the middle east is the growth of her 'power under her alliance with the west, and the strong implications of benefit by. Qifl-ing her and thus guaranteeing interest in the whole area.

Once a middle wstorn -adjunct of the North Atlantic treaty is organized Britain and the United States obviously would give it important support and at the same time act as guardians against any action of disruption within it.

Police believe the bandits either followed the armored truck to the office or waited in the area until the truck left A half dozen "persons ran out of the office immediately after the gurfmen left and reported seeing them drive away in the car containing two' other men. One of the gunmen wore a black plastic nose and the other kept most of his face covered during- the few minutes they were in the office. There was no description of the two men waiting in tfie car and no fingerprints or other evidence was found in the autompbile.

The men demanded the bag containing the money from James Skola, 51, in charge of accounts, payable. They tried to find another bag but quickly gave up the search and left. Detective Lt.
