Can't Get Rid of Bridges

Harry Bridges, the west coast CON-
munist labor adjitator, seems to
bear a charmed life. Although an
alien and a communist it seems i'm
possible to deport him.
The evidence is indisputable that
he is a communist, yet he is per-
mitted not only to remain in the
United States but to dictate to the
shipping industry of the Pacific coast
Last year the U. S. immigration
bureau yielded to pressure and held
prolonged hearings about his per-
sonal history. But the white wash
brush. was welded and Ma" Perkins
ordered all charges against him quash-
ed when a special investigator for
her department reported that the
charges were not proved"
Now a bill has been introduced into
congress providing for the deporta-
ton of Harry Bridges! And it has
been effectually blocked there.
We can scarcely conceive of any
thing more absurd than a special bill
to deport an alien who has made HIM
self obnoxious to remain a single day?
We have been glad in the past to
offer refuge to the oppressed and
harrassed of all lands, but is it sense
to permit alien communists who
would destroy our government to
remain Glendive (Mont.) Mon
itor.

Railway Costs

It's one for Ripley-the cost in work
done by the Great Northern railway
before it can pay for a single lead
pencil.
A curious statician has figured that
the railway must haul one ton of av-
erage freight one mile before it can
purchase one pencil.
The Great Northern must haul SO
tons of average freight one mile to
buy shovel for track laborer On
that basis the cost CT ether ordinary
supplies are: hand hammer. "a tons.
ton of coal. 239 tons: pair engineer
goggles, lis. tons; pick handle. Is
tons; pound rubber bands. 81 tons;
one fusee. 6 tons; light bulb. - tons
broom, 80 tons; face towel. tons.
The statician thought about work
ing out the cost in work done of a To-
connective, but went out to lunch in
stead. Anyhow. he was afraid he
wouldn't believe his own figures.

The Rising Tide
OF Fire Waste

The rising tide of fire waste,
writes w. E. Mallalieu of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters,
threatens national defense. During
the early months of this year, fire
loss was substantially higher than
it was for the same period last
year or the year before. And that
is taking place at time when Am
erica'S intricate industrial machine
must be geared to maximum eff
cheney and maximum production
in turning the defense program
blue-printS into actual tanks and
airplaneS and warShipS and guns.
On top of that, even disregard
ing the defense factor, fire is the
arch enemy of the public welfare
Mr.. Mallalieu cites a hypothetical
case in which a great factory is de-
stroyed. Men are thrown out OF
jobs, and are no longer able to pay
their bills. Local merchants, pro-
fessional men and landlords suffer
Taxes go unpaid. Orders are can
celled. And so the local depression
caused by such fire reaches out
to distant cities, touching other
factories, ether businesses other
workers and their families Com
mercial history shows that many OF
the business institutions suffering
serious loss by fire are unable to
survive. They can't come back.
Big fires such as this Hypothetical
case are not SO rare as you might
think. During the first five months
of this year alone, there were SO
fires causing damage of 100000 or
more each. One of them took toll
of Sl,000,000 and another Of $780,
900. And such tragedies will be re-
peated again and again before the
year ends, if past precedent holds.
This year the cause of fire preven-
ton, always vital, is of even more
direct Importance to all of us-to
everyone with job, everyone with
an investment, everyone who wants
to see our defense program go for
ward without a hitch Such events
as National Fire Prevention Week,
which is being nationally observed
from October to IL, are carried on
in the interest of every family. En-
list today in the battle against fire.
And enlist for the duration of hos
tilitiesl

Learns Names by Camera

Applying his subject to the daily
task of taking roll call, DR.. Charles
Marsh, psychology instructor at
Stephens college, learned to call
his 200 students by name within
three weeks. Heretofore he had
felt fortunate if he learned them all
by the end of the semester.
Dr.. Marsh used a miniature cam
era and took pictures of all the stu
dents. He pasted each picture in
:he roll book alongside a name.
By associating the name with the
picture he soon was able to call each
girl by name upon sight.

That New Deal reciprocal trade
agreements did not attract buyers is
shown by the purchase, by countries

of 17,644,000 pounds in 1885, before
the agreements were made, and only
lo,l75, 200 pounds in 1889, when all

Note
 Given Parents

Parents living in the vicinity should caution or take steps to see that their small children do not play on the hillside underneath the antennas running to the top of the steel tower on the Signal Corps reservation at 12th Street.
 Once in a great while one of these antennas fastened to the top of the tower will break loose and drop, and such antennas carry high voltages and currents This would be quite dangerous to any children playing underneath, as well as the added danger from the weight of the antennas and weights them selves, should they happen to fall while any children might be un- derneath them.
 This military reservation is post ed with non-trespassing signs also warning of high voltages. but small children cannot be expected to read or pay any attention to such signs
 Therefore, for safety's sake, the parents of the children should take it upon themselves to see theil children do not play on this hill- side in close proximity of the an- tennas and tower, says Roger Ste- venson, operator in charge of the Signal Corps, Juneau

QUESTIONS ON CENSUS UNDER
 SEVERE ATTACK
New Hampshire Senator Continues His Lambast-
 ing Certain Phases

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Sen- ator Charles w! Tobey of New Hampshire continued his attack on the l940 census questions SatW- day night and called on the people to form what he called anti snooping societies" Tobey said Congressman Reed of New York and Senator Clark of Missouri had joined him in determination not to answer questions bearing on per sonal incomes
 Senator Tobey said the anti snooping" societies should take similar pledges.
 Senator Tobey first raised the census issue on February 9 with a radio speech protesting to ques- tions on personal incomes. Satur- day night he also protested against questions on whether women have been married more than once, what their age was at the first marri- age and the question on physical fitness of men.
 The New Hampshire Senator de- clared that the income questions may be used by officials in search for new tax evaSions. He charged that the War Department had @ mobilization plan ready for use and that the question on physical fitness of men was subject to war use.

CHAMBERLAIN TALKS, HELP
 FOR FINLAND
Also Revealed London Was Asked 10 Mediate in
 Russ s-Finnish Fight

LONDON, March 1.-The Brit ish government has issued a spec ial communicate to make it clear that Finland has not asked direct intervention of Great Britain and France in the Soviet-Finnish war.
 The statement was issued at Number Ten Downing Street, after Prime Minister Chamberlain had told Commons that the Allies had notified Finland they were ready to send immediate and extensive aid.
 Chamberlain said that assistance would be sent in response from Helsinki
 The supplementary statement said it should be understood clearly that Finland had not made the appeal for direct aid.
 Earlier the Foreign Office had disclosed that Great Britain was approached by Russia to transmit the peace terms to Helsinki for which Sweden finally acted as go- between.
 It was explained that the terms were shown to the Foreign Office by Soviet Ambassador Maisky, but no formal request was made for Britain to present them to Fin land.
 The terms were described as too unfavorable to Finland for Britain to give them the implied approval that would have been involved.
