They also found considerable damage done to two office safes in an-effort to break them open.

Although Whittecar and Usera searched the area they were unable to make contact with any suspects. They think the subjects escaped through the broken window where they entered.

Storage. A Rapid City attorney and Republican candidate for the state Senate Friday challenged statements made this week by a Democratic Senate candidate who proposed establishment of a state-sponsored and financed police academy. James Brennan said the type of schooling advocated by Homer Kandaras addressing the Democratic Forum in Rapid City on Tuesday has been conducted for the past 10 years by the office of the state attorney general and the Department of Criminal Investigation in cooperation with the South Dakota Sheriff's, and Police Officers Association. Brennan said the school was formerly conducted at the University of South Dakota but now has been decentralized with regional schools established at Rapid City, Aberdeen, Pierre, Huron and Sioux Falls. The school is conducted for two weeks on an 8-hour-a-day basis with no tuition charged.

Lectures are presented by experts in the field of narcotics, self-defense, first aid, criminal investigation procedures, court procedures, arrest and search warrant procedures, riot control, crime prevention and game violations. In addition, according to Brennan, the Department of Criminal Investigation conducts a seminar each year at the annual meeting of the sheriff's and police officers association at which experts in various fields of law enforcement are brought to the state to explain developments in criminal investigation and crime detection. "As a states attorney, I lectured at these schools along with FBI agents and experts in other fields of criminal investigation. I further conducted a school, while I was states attorney, on court procedures in criminal prosecution for law enforcement personnel of Pennington County sheriff's deputies, highway patrolmen, police officers, air police and state game wardens," Brennan said. In addition to the regional schools conducted by the state, special schools are conducted on a continuing basis by law enforcement agencies, Brennan contended.

The GOP candidate said the Rapid City Police Department has a 30-day training program for new police officers before they are given duty assignments and an experienced officer accompanies them on their first duty assignments. Brennan pointed out the 1970 legislature passed a law enforcement officers standards and training act. Also during the session a bill appropriating $350,000 for construction and equipping a state law enforcement training center at Pierre failed to be reported out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. "I share Mr. Kandaras' enthusiasm for law enforcement and this is one of the reasons why I am seeking a state Senate seat and why I announced this as a plank in my candidacy during the primary election.

However I believe Mr. Kandaras should check existing records and facts before he recommends initiation of programs when they do in fact exist and have existed for many years," Brennan concluded. Brennan offered to address the Democratic Forum or any other organization relative to the training being given and available to law enforcement officers in South Dakota. il Users Council Municipal court mountain top vigil, are supporting the effort. She said the nine persons at.

the camp are preparing for winter, gathering firewood and improving the trail. "We are hoping that Lehman Brightman, now on a speaking tour in Oklahoma, will arrive any day now.

She added that the movement also is gaining broader recognition, pointing out that several reporters from a Cleveland paper had been interviewing members this week.

The following are matters on which we base our decision: "Violations of local, state and federal "Health problems.

That while their keepers remain warm, comfortable and well-fed they must live in conditions not conducive to good health." The resolution concludes: "We are citizens of America by birth, heritage and law and liable to all laws covering all citizens and set up for our protection against all enemies. Guidelines with proper law enforcement should be set up so that all personnel, property and the visitors to this state can be protected." Serving with chairman Paul Babby and signing the resolution Thursday were Ruben McCloskey, Freda Tapio, Rachelle Lawrence and Alma LaBlanc.

Meanwhile members of the Mount Crazy Horse Movement continue their vigil on the mountain adjacent to Mount Rush-more Memorial near Keystone. A spokesman, Mrs. Muriel Waukazoo of Rapid City, said nine persons are setting up a winter camp near the famed Borglum carvings. She said the conviction to continue the vigil at this time was reaffirmed in a meeting on Sunday. "The state is beginning to move on it," she told the Journal Friday.

"Another carload of supporters from throughout the state arrived in the middle of last night. They are helping by bringing food. Many people are signing our register." Mrs. Waukazoo pointed out that the location of the camp leaves active participation to younger members of the movement. "If it were on a flat place which was easy to get to," she said, "it would be really crowded." She emphasized however that those unable to physically participate in the nii'tresi, J.
