' FUMES SWEEP IDAHO FORESTS OFFICER SLAIN IN STRIKE RIOT STATE TO LOSE BY DISCHARGE OF AIDES, CLAIM The recent release of 21 persons irom tne staff of tne transportation department of the state utilities commission, will probably mean a $2500 decrease in collections of that division, Herbert Hauser, state su pervisor of transportation, estimated today, Hauser said the necessary cur tailment of office operations had meant the elimination of six audit ors previously employed in the field.

"It is better to call the en tire project off for the present rather than go ahead In a half hearted manner,'" he added. Several rehearsals had been held during recent weeks and consider able talent had been won over to the project.
