He had testified that de fense counsels appointed by the court should receive more money for such cases than al lowed by the law. Consider able pre-trial work Is done by me very conscientious ' Jack son county attorneys yet they are paid only $15 a day while in court for a total maximum fee of $45 for non-murder cases. Murder cases bring a maximum fee of $150 when a defense counsel is court-appointed, R e e d e r explained. The law should be changed in this respect, he said. Habitual Criminal Reedcr had also urged that the habitual criminal law be modified or repealed since the present statute is is now "un workable and can have most unfair results if literally ap plied." The law pertaining to psy chiatric testimony, where in sanity Is the defense, should be changed so both prosecu tion and defense have access to complete examination of the defendant, Reeder sugges ted. The defense counsel should be allowed also to obtain from the state prior statements per taining to the crime. The laws prohibiting commercial gam bling should be revised, also, WEDNESDAY ONLY "CURTAIN AT 8:30" , John Lusk at the " Baldwin Oman A COMPACT $U$PHH STORY...

Rancher Shaping Fight To Regain Tax-Seized Land Eldridge, N.D.-tUPN-Furmer Fay Heasley made plans to day for a legal fight to re gain his 4,500 acre wheat ranch sold by the federal gov ernment for back income taxes. Heasley bowed to a federal court order and moved his family off the $350,000 ranch. "But I'm not done," Heasley said. "We've got to fight for our rights," said Paul Heasley, Fay's son. But while the Heasley fam ily studied legal avenues, the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Arvil Glinz of Newburg, N.D., took over the prime wheat land. They bought it from the federal government for $225, 300. Heasley, now in his 60s, started the farm "with an applebox" 41 years ago. He survived the depression and drought of the '30s only to lose a tax battle with the government. Tax Bill Grows Six years ago, the govern ment presented him with a tax bill for $40,000. Heasley refused to pay It, and the bill got bigger every day. When the government final ly stepped in and sold the farm Heasley's bill was more than $200,000. And another $25 is added to that figure every day. It was during the "golden' '40s that the rich land poured money Into Heasley's pockets. And it was during those same years the trouble with the government began. Heasley was charged with "grossly" understating his In come for the years 1K44-4K. It was contended that he claimed excessive deductions with "intent to evade taxes." Convicted of Fraud In 1958. Heasley was con victed of criminal tax fraud, and Federal Judge Ronald R. Davies ordered the farm sold to the highest bidder.

"We're fighting only for our God-given rights, which we're not getting," Heasley said. "This is going to happen to all Americans who don't fight for their rights." But even if Heasley won an appeal, said U.S. District Attorney Robert Vogel, the government would be com pelled to pay back only what it has realized on the sale. The only way the farm can be regained is for Heasley to buy it back. Even though the farm is gone, the debt isn't. The pur chasers paid only $40,000 down on the farm, and the balance due the government will be paid in annual install ments. Until every cent is paid, the Interest continues to mount.
