Experi Says Farmers of Future May Make More Money by Converting Sunlight Into Electricity Than by Growing Food Crops Court Dismisses Lottery Appeal Jan. The state Supreme Court Monday dismissed the appeal of Berkner McPherson, charged with setting up lotteries through operation of slot machines. McPhersoff wascharged with op eration of slot machines at the Montana Pension association rooms in Great Falls. The dismissal of his appeal was ordered "by court because he failed to follow up after filing a transcript of the district court record last July.

The dismissal had the effect of postponing the long-awaited test to determine whether slot machines are lotteries within the meaning of the state constitution. McPherson was granted until Sept. 15 to submit written briefs and memoranda. He contended earlier that Judge Guy C. Derry of Billings erred in overruling his demurrer to a bharge of running a lottery.

Derry's decision came shortly after Judge George W. Padbury held that the machines were legal in an action brought in Gallatin county. The question of the legality of slot machines-will no doubt be an important issue when state legislators consider state revenue. Slot machines produce more than i $250,000 in state taxes. Last year the state licensed about 3,100 machines to fraternal and non-profit clubs and the federal government had some 6.000 "coin-operated devices" on its list.

Informed observers believed the Legislature will not favor cutting off the slot machine revenue will pass stricter regulation and raise the license fee from $300 to $400 annually. Forest Supervisor Issues Reports HELENA, Jan. 4. Enough lumber to build 140 five-room houses was cut in the Helena national forest last year, Forest. Supervisor A.

D. "loir said Tuesday. The cut of 2,800,000 board feet was slightly below that of 1947, but three times greater than the annual cut before the last war. Moir said the 1949 cut should break all records. Timber will be cut this year by at least 10 saw mills, a pole plant and pupwood mill.

HELENA, Jan. 4. (JP) The Hel ena national forest is home to 6,400 deer, 1,600 elk, 400 bear and 19 moose, Forest Supervisor A. D. Moir reported Tuesday.

He said the moose unknown here several years ago have "apparently drifted in from outside sources." A game census by forest officials and the state finh and game dppartr ment shows the ratio of fawns to does has increased as have the numbers of whitetail and mule deer. Coyotes have decreased from 3,000 in 1947 to 425. Marriage and Legal Business in Carter County Halted EKALAKA, Jan. 4. JP) The marriage and legal business in Carter county is at a standstill following the death of retiring Court Clerk Hally B.

Campbell and the serious illness of Clerk-elect Wilfred G. Kennedy. Campbell died Friday after a farewell party in the courthouse of this southeastern-corner county. Death came just two days before completion of his seventh consecutive term as clerk of court. He had declined to seek re-election last fall.

Meanwhile, Kennedy, who was to have taken office Monday, was reported under, an oxygen tent in the Fort Harrison Veterans hospital.

4. (JP) A loss of $51,025 to the Montana hospital construction program was reported Tuesday by the state health board's hospital facility, consulting engineer. Robert Munzenrider announced the 1950 federal allotment for hospital building and said an allocation cut will hamper the program He said the federal public health Badger made his denial in a cabledt statement from his Tsingtao base to the Associated Press in Shanghai. His statement admitted discussions between the Chinese ministry of education and the Navy as to "the feasibility of returning the campus to the university for educational purposes." The admiral said he ordered an end of the negotiations "upon learning these discussions were being used as a basis for withdrawal rumors." The statement did not say whether any agreement has been reached before negotiations ended for turning to the university the buildings the Marines have leased since the end of the war. A Tsingtao report had said Ma rines were preparing to pull out because peace talks were already under way between Communists and the National government.

There were plenty of rumors, but no indication that either side had taken a single step toward actually negotiating an end to the civil war. Nanking heard rumors that Communists already have representatives In either Nanking or Shanghai. But these were generally discounted in the capital itself as wishful think ing. Even government warplanes have Joined the peace offensive, dropping leaflets on Red troops urging them to lay down their arms. Communists, whose armies dominate the military scene, have made no reply to any of the flood of pleas that they inititate peace negotia- tions.

The Nationalist government has made no move since Chiang Kai-shek's New Year's day message. This expressed willingness to talk peace on his terms. Deer Lodge News rruiN HI JtrtbtV. Corr(pndest. Phon 3M.

11 at Glendive. Dispute in Plane Crash Is Aired SEATTLE, Jan. 4. (JP) The last words of the pilot of an ill-fated "back to Yale" special flight were released Tuesday as a dispute boiled over whether the plane had been cleared for a takeoff which ended in a flaming crash that killed 14. The company contended th tower had approved the takeoff.

A CAA official disagreed. A transcript of the conversation between the pilot and the Boeing field control tpwer, before the DC-3 took off on a non-scheduled flight from an icy runway Sunday night and crashed with 30 aboard, was released by the CAA. It said, in its concluding part: "Tower: Roger, take off cleared for takeoff and we will give you your clearance when you report on top, over. "Pilot: Roger, tower, we have our clearance" already, ma few minutes previously the tower had messaged: 'ATC clears Douglas 025 to the Billings airport cruise and maintain 9,000 until further "Towers Roger, you have your airways. Cleared for takeoff, report when on top.

"Pilot: Roger. "Tower: To the right and up. To the right and up." (The plane veered to the right, and then to the left into a hangar, bursting into flames.) With the transcript, R. D. Bed- mger, regional CAA administrator released a statement which said: "The issuance of a traffic clearance by a control tower constitutes authority for the pilot to proceed only in so far as known air traffic is concerned and does not constitute granting of authority to disregard any weather minimum requirements in effect.

"It is the pilot's responsibility to know the legal minimum requirements and other regulations. The word 'Roger' means have received all of your last Its use does not constitute agreement or approval." Investigators had not definitely determined Tuesday whether William Chavers, Seattle, listed as pilot, or William J. Leland, owner, was at the controls. The transcript disclosed that the tower had told the pilot visibility had been a quarter of a mile and then only an eighth of a mile at 9:48 p. m.

The CAA said the minimum requirement for a night takeoff by a DC-3 was one mile visibility and a 300 foot ceiling. The plane took off at 10:06 p. m. The transcript also said: "Tower: It appears we are getting a little break now. Cleared into position and hold, we'll have a clearance for you shortly." Later the pilot messaged: "Pilot, roger, tower, we can see; the green 4 range lights at the i other end of the runway." Line officials said the last remark meant that the visibility was more than a mile, as the distance is approximately 6,000 feet.

20. Rep. Donald L. O'Toole (D-N. introduced a bill in behalf of former presidents.

It would give them an annuity of $25,000 a year. O'Toole's bill was the first introduced in a new House. Another bill, by Rep. Gordon Canfield (R-N. would make ex-presidents senators-at-large, Rayburn indicated he favored the OToole bill, but he said he looked for aytion before Jan.

20 on legis- lation directly increasing the President's compensation while he is in office. Under the Constitution, the President's salary can not be raised or lowered during the term in which such legislation is enacted. Thus any pay raise bill would have to become law before Mr. Truman is sworn in for his next term on Jan. 20.

The President's salary is now a year and he is allowed a maximum expense account of $40,000" a year. The salary is taxable, but the expense account is not. Rayburn said he did not favor making ex-presidents honorary senators because he didn't believe "in anybody being a member of the Senate or without elected." The question of presidential pay has come increasingly to the fore in recent weeks, following the recommendation of former President Herbert Hoover that something be done to ease the financial strain on the White House tenant. President Truman, who spends billions of dollars for the federal government each year, actually winds up with considerably less take-home pay than many lesser government officials. Royall Says Forces of Democracy Winning in Europe WASHINGTON, Jan.

4. (IP) Secretary of the Army Royall said Tuesday the forces of democracy are definitely on the rise against Communism in Europe. As for the possibility of armed conflict. Royall told newsmen: "I stated last fall I believe that war was not imminent. I am still of that opinion." The Army's civilian chief, newly returned from a three-week inspec tion swing in Europe, brought some good news to taxpayers who have been shouldering the burden of European recovery.

Army relief costs in Germany are dropping, he said, because of the improved situation there, and the Army expects have- $50,000,000 ear-marked for German food left over when the fiscal year ends next June 30. Combined with other factors, that will enable the Army to slash off its request for oiew food funds, he said. Royall also disclosed that the Army has "liquidated" a $255,000,000 deficit in its funds resulting from GI. "Yankee trader" deals in German marks soon after the war. He said he wouldn't describe these transactions as "black market" operations, but noted that they involved the sale of watches, cigarettes and other articles for German marks.

GI's then turned in the German marks to the Army for United- States dollars. The Armv finally halted such get-rich-quick practice by installing the scrip system in Germany Basketball Team Bribe Offer Leads to Arrests T. Since the decision left open the question of a' union worker's right to walk off the job rather than work alongside a' non-union employe, the AFL plans to find such a case and take that up to the Supreme Court, too, if necessary, Attorney Herbert Thatcher said. The court ruled only on laws in Arizona, Nebraska and North Carolina, but there are at least 13 other states which have statutes putting varying limits on union security agreements. The closed shop is one in which only unioi.

members may be hired. Other common forms of union security are the union shop in which the worker must join the union in about 30 days in order to hold his job and maintenance of membership. The latter form was brought into frequent use during the war. Non-union workers may. continue in their jobs.

Those who choose to join the union, however, must keep up their membership, usually by a check-off from their pay, for the. period of the union contract. Tuesday's meeting of the legislative representatives of major AFL unions had been planned as a routine organization session. The council had been created by the con-: yention in November. But Thatcher said he would explain the court decision to the council memmbers, and the entire, policy toward state legislation may have to be overhauled.

Usually the relations with state legislatures are handled by state federations of labor. Contacts with members of Congress, on the. other, hand, are left to the Washington representatives of the AFL and its 106 member unions. Commissioners Elect Scott DILLON, Jan. 4.

The John Francone dairy ranch issued a' communique here Tuesday denying: that the cows were giving ice cream. "It's cold, but that's ridiculous," Mrs. Francone shivered. "And it wasn't 44 below very long. Pretty soon it wanned up to only 40 below." Meanwhile activities at the ranch, 14 miles northeast of Butte, continued as usual.

Mr. Francone and his two sons, George and Bill, are feeding 150 head of beef cattle and are caring for 75 milk cows. Mrs. Vrancone says the hay fed to the beef cows is "Elk Park grown, and that's justjas-good as Big Hole hay." She believes the cold wave is about over. Everyone hopes she's right.

Anaconda May Operate Parking Meters Soon ANACONDA, Jan. 4 City authorities are awaiting the arrival of a representative of the Miller Parkr hg Meter company for a general inspection of the meters installed in the downtown district before they are placed in operation, it was announced. The engineer is expected to arrive here early this week. The meter equipment was installed on streets in the business district last summer but was prevented from being placed in operation by a district court injunction. It is expected to have the meters in operation later this week, it was announced.

Change of a city statute by repealing an ordinance which was adopted as a revenue-raising measure on which the injunction was issued allows the placing in operation of the meters. A new ordinance, adopted at a city council meeting on Dec. 6, provides for the operation of the meters as a traffic regulation. Fire Truck, Private Car Figure in Street Collision ANACONDA, Jan. 4.

A pumper truck of the Anaconda fire department figured in a collision with a passenger car at Cedar and Commercial while answering an alarm at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, it was reported by police and firemen.

He said that in some areas, such as the dry, sunny states of the Southwest, the output of electricity would be even more; Arthur said that research already is under way to find means to capture the radiant energy and put it to work farm lands. He recalled the successful use of solar heating in such states as Florida where water can be brought to almost a boiling point from exposure to the sun through glass panels. "The big obstacle," he said, "is finding a way to store the electricity, but in time that obstacle may be Dr. Arthur said that growing plants use only about $1,000 worth of radiant energy, and that the remainder is going to waste. "Farmers of the future, especially those who are located on rough, stony lands, may consider it more profitable to collect and sell sunlight energy directly instead of risking the growing and harvesting of a crop of plants," he said.

Natural sun light, he said, is the but can be supplemented for a period of four to six hours each night with artifi cial light. often produces -spring-time growth and flowering on many kinds of long day plants when a favorable temperature is maintained," he said. Arthur said that the color of electric lights may have a "profound influence" on the character of a plant.

For instance, he said that a pre dominantly red and infra-red light source produces a tall, poorly col ored plant, while blue light in gen eral produces a well colored plant of more normal height. Montana Resident for 66 Years Dies in Anaconda ANACONDA, Jan. 4. Mrs. Theresa Furst, 85, widow of John Furst and a well-known, old-time resident of Anaconda and the Deer Lodge valley, died in St.

Snowbound since Saturday and nearly out of food, 11 bus passengers and their driver were rescued Monday night by Idaho National Guardsmen at an isolated mountain community. The Guard was ordered to the rescue Sunday night by Gov. C. A. LRobins.

The first attempt failed when a snowplow got within about five miles 6 of Twin Springs, where the bus was marooned' and tnen broke down- Twin Springs is 43 miles northeast of Boise. A bulldozer was ordered out yesterday and last night, about 12 hours after it left Boise, it reached Twin Springs, opening the road to stranded cars. Because food at the Twin Springs ICSUI wta swe, muisc- lments were made to drop supplies by piane. Col. George Bennett, executive officer of the Idaho National Guard, said the bulldozer will continue on about two miles past Twin Springs to rescue a family of five Boiseans stranded at a ranch, Roads were blocked last week end by, heavy snowfalls.

Bv PAUL F. ELLIS YONKERS, N. Jan. 4. (U.R) An expert on plant research said Tuesday that the farmer of the future may make more money con- verting sunlight into electricity than from growing food crops.

If such a new business comes to pass and Dr. John M. Arthur believes it might then the arid, rocky lands of some western and southern states would increase in value. Arthur, of the Boyce- Thompson institute for plant research, said that if all the radiant energy falling on a single acre of land could be Reports Guerrilla Regime in Java BATAVIA, Java, Jan. 5.

(P) The Dutch army ordered a cease (ire on the Island of Sumatra at noon local time (9 p. Tuesday, MST) Wednesday. BATAVIA, Java, Jan. 4. (IP) The Chinese newspaper Sin Po re ported Tuesday Indonesian Republicans have organized a "guerrilla government for Java" which directs their fight against the Dutch by radio.

A Dutch army -pres statement, however, said, the Republicans' plans for a "general uprising" to start New Year's day against Netherlands occupation forces "came to nothing." It said there have been no more incidents "than usual." This was an oblique reference to the Dutch contention that they started military action against the Republicans to quell disorders. Amsterdam reported Dutch Prime. Minister William Drees left Tuesday by air for Batavia to fulfill these two principal objectives: "1. formation of an Indonesian interim government which will be truly representative of the whole of Indonesia. "2.

Preparation for formation at an early date of a United States of Indonesia to which we will be able to transfer our sovereignty." The words are those of. Drees, personally read in a broadcast at the airport. Drees declared his government "always had tried to promote perfect understanding between the authorities in the Hague and in Batavia by personal contact." (The Pakistan government announced its willingness to participate in a conference of Asian coun tries called by India' to consider the Indonesian Defense Minister John Dedman of Australia said the proposed confer ence "does not cut across any prin ciples laid down in the United Na tions charter," and he knows of no British or American opposition to the meeting. He said Australia is consulting Britain and New Zealand before deciding whether to parti cipate. (One possible objective of the meeting is to shut off rice supplies to Dutch-held areas in Indonesia.)
