The house also had before It a bill to change the tenure of game, fish and parks commission members It would cut the V-mgth of appointments to six years, instead of eight, and permit reappointment. The measure also requires tha. at least four of the eight-member game commission be farmers actually residing on farms. Across the rotunda, in the senate were two game bills up fo final passage. One would prohibit the use of buckshot in the hunting of big game, and empower the commission to decide areas where rifles may be barred in deer hunting.

The other would let down the hunting and fishing bars to servicemen and veterans administration personnel residing in the state at least six months. Before the senate also for initial passage was a bill to appropriate $725,000 for aid to schools with endowment land, and a measure permitting scientific tests to establish intoxication. The house slated action on 25 bills. Twelve of them were fina. passage of appropriations.

Principal ones in the list were those to allocate $400,000 to replace the, east, wing of the main building at Yankton State hospital, and $50,000 for the aeronautics commission for construction of emergency landing fields. The passage of bill to agair. permit nonresident duck and goose; hunters yesterday was the gallery pleaser. It finally passed in the house 68 to 5. It was sent to the senate.

Rep. C. C. Lowe (D). Kimball, sought to amend the bill to knock out the clause prohibiting nonresidents from hunting migratory waterfowl.

It was defeated 50 to 22. Lowe, a retired weekly newspaper publisher, said he proposed to drop the ban on waterfowl hunting by nonresidents to assure "the gooc name and standing of South Dakota." He noted Minnesota had lent snow removal equipment for use in snowbound western South Dakota, and asked, "Are you men in this legislature so ungrateful as to say citizen from a neighboring state can't come out here to take a shot at waterfowl?" Rep. George K. Olson, Aberdeen. member of the house game and fish committee, argued the prohibition should" be retained as a means conservation.

Fitzgerald. ECA food administrator, defended purchases of Canadian wheat and bacon to be sent to England under the Marshall plan. They said Canadian wheat prices are lower than this country's and that Canada has shipping facilities which the United States lack. Senator Gillette D-Ia) suggested using Canadian ports and ships to move surplus wheat and flour from this country. Senator Anderson (D-NM).

who preceded Brannan as secretary of agriculture, told a reporter that some of the fault for excess wheat and lower prices rests with congress. Last year, Anderson recalled, congress required that a minimum of 150.000,000 bushels of wheat stocks be retained In this country as a "carryover." "I'm in agreement with Secretary Brannan about the general outlook." Anderson said. "But I still wish we had not had that carryover. I said then it might push prices down below support levels." Chairman Thomas said all senators will be Interested in the trading checkup ordered by Brannan "to see if short-selling caused these declines." Brannan proposed two other moves yesterday that may stiffen domestic farm prices. He wrote House Speaker Ray-burn (D-Tex) suggesting that the Commodity Credit Corporation should be given authority to swap farm produces with foreign nations for strategic and critical materials.

TRUMAN STILL (From Page One) FABULOUS SPY (From Page One) LeedomSays Safety Act 'Not Compulsory' Pierre. Feb. 10 tP The sponsor of a safety responsibility act Introduced in the South Dakota legislature yesterday said the proposal is not a compulsory liability bill, Sen. Boyd Leedom, Rapid City who lent his name to the proposed law, said it was patterned after a law in North Dakota. It would require a driver to show responsibility for damage in negligent use of a motor vehicle.

It would not require insurance or bond in order to obtain a vehicle license, he said. It is aimed at persons against whom a judgment has been returned after an accident. If a judgment isvissued. the driven then must take care of damage to property of persons within a reasonable time before he can obtain a driver's license. It anticipates that a drivers' license law will be enacted.

After the first accident the person held responsible must then either obtain insurance or post adequate bond to cover any future day for a 5 percent slash in allffed-eral expenditures "which can be cut" in the hope of heading off any rise in levies. But Snyder, in a statement pre Request For New RightOf -Way Is American system." Miser said. "It is well for us when we realize that our economic system is the object of a thoroughly organized attack with headquarters at, Moscow, that we do count our olessings, as we are asked to do. "M'hen our cooperation is Invited in the preservation of the ays-tern of free enterprise, not only motives of highest altruism but our own selfish well-being dictates enthusiastic acceptance. "We Americans have been a very fortunate people.

It is not due alone to our intrinsic greatness as a people that ours is the freest and best government. It is not due alone to the intrinsic superiority of our form of government that ours is one of the oldest governments in the world. In addition to the great-ress of our people, in addition to the intrinsic Superiority of our form of government, there is another factor or element which combines with these other two to make possible what may becalled the 'American way of That third element or factor is the free enterprise system. "I am aware that many very good folks do not share that belief. Personally I concede and I do so without reluctance -that there are some jobs of such national magnitude that only the people themselves can do them and only the people themselves should control1 them.

Consequently the difference between the more rockribbed champions of the free enterprise system and those who favor an economy more socialistic, is largely one of decree. The morale of the American people is based primarily on a way of doing things. vMtin Spring "Team work is its mam spring. Voluntary cooperation is its keynote.

1949, and 1950. He added: "The objective of the administration is to increase revenues by and the need for additional revenues for the federal government is imperative. "We must have a surplus during times of prosperity with which to redude the debt, for if we do not wei shall never be able to reduce the debt in the manner which I feel is necessary and desirable." Snyder said the deficit might turn out even greater than the president's estimates. On one hand, he said, it is possible that spending "might turn out to be higher" than budget estimates, partly because of the possibility of expenditures for the security of the North Atlantic area." For another he said, the president's estimate of tax revenues might turn out to be too low. "Revenues have been estimated on the assumption of high business activity and full employment," Snyder said.

In spite of that suggestion Snyder declared his own opinion that the nation's economic position is strong. He suggested that revenues might exceed the estimates "if the business levels should advance." The treasury chief did not suggest any particular form of tax increase, resting on his previous posi--tion that the method of raising the $4,000,000,000 is something for congress to work out.

However, Dr. Skinner from time the trial.

Authorities predicted the clash will come when the United States and other western nations try to call Hungary to account for its actions against the cardinal. Whether the scene is the United Nations or otherwise, they exnect Russia will immediately spring to the defense of its satellite state. Such a course has been foreshadowed by the consistent support given the Hungarian regime by the radio and other propoganda agencies of Moscow. Furthermore, authorities here assert that the cardinal's conviction and life sentence, while highly dramatic because Of his position as Roman Catholic primate of Hungary, is by no means to be treated as an isolated instance. They regard it rather as the latest outstanding example of a wave of oppression which has been sweeping over the Russian border countries in Europe for more than two years.

The house late yesterday adopted a resolution urging that the U. S. protest Hungary's treatment of Mindszenty, either through the United Nations or other "appropriate" means. There was no debate and passage was voted unanimously. The resolution awaits senate action.

Statement Secretary of State Acheson directly linked Russia with the Mindszenty case yesterday in a statement in which he laid the basis for action against Hungary. Later, in response to news conference questions, he said that an appeal to the U. N. is under consideration. In his statement Acheson declared that "the Soviet-controlled Hungarian authorities seek toAdiscredit and coerce religious leadership In Hungary in order to remove this source of moral resistance to On the point of the Hungarian government's responsibility, Acheson declared that "the people of Hungary have been increasingly denied the exercise of fundamental human, rights and freedoms" during the past two years.

Acheson said that othei procedures, outside the U. were also being studied. These include a direct challenge of Hungary's actions under terms of the peace treaty mflde with Hungary as a result of its participation in -world war two on the side of Germany. Another aspect of the ease vhich is under study here is the status of American Minister Seldcn Chap-in at Budapest. Chapin was accused during the Mindszenty trial of having worked with Mindszenty in the various crimes with which the churchman was charged.

Such accusations could provide the basis for a demand by th Hungarian government for Chapln'S recall. However, officlnls said that no recall demand has been made. The possibility of bringing Chap-In home for consultation and to report to congress was also under consideration. 1 to time is required to authorize Swimming classes for junior high school boys will begin tonight at the School of Mines pool.

Her attorney demanded a retraction and apology in a letter to Secretary of the Army Royall. While there are no details to build up a spy scare now in Washington or other capitals, the Mac-Arthur report says right at the start: "Probably never in history has there been a ring more bold or more successful. Although most of the principals are dead, some are still at large. They can be expected td be secretly busy with thair trade at this very moment in the capitals of the world." It says Missouri-born Miss Smed-ley still i "at large" and so is Guenther Stein, a German.

Each has written extensively-on China Slein, the report says, "is a man about whom too little is known." It lists him as a "top-level member'' of the Tokyo ring from 1936 to 1933, Now living in New York. Stein's only comment was: "Ridiculous." He is not a naturalized American. The only other living person des- cribed as one of the higher-ups in the ring is Max Klausen, radio ef-perl The report leaves open the possibility that he is in Russia or in "some other country" where "hit skill and experience in secret telegraphy will be useful to the Soviets."
