was heavily advertised by the Ma

scenes in the life of Christ. Others
were helped by the vivid picturing

QUESTIONS WISDOM OF LOCAL
GAME RESERVES

Libby, Montana,
Nov. z, l941
Editor Western News:
Could it be that the Wolf Creek
Game Reserve is over-grazed?
Checking on deer killed in the Dunn
Creek area makes me wonder. OF
five I've helped dress, four had very
little fat, (black- taiI while the 9TH
er. a Whitehall, was just fair.
I'd like to use this as an argument
to do away with such isolated re-
serves; instead, I'd like to see future
reserves along our highways.
Sportsmen; yes, all of us enjoy the
sight of deer along the roads-if we
who see such sights often, thrill to
their grace of action, what then OF
outsiders?
In line with our recreational adj
vantages, here with roadside inn
provement is another natural ad-
vertisement of this section.
True there is danger Of deer on
the highways, but such hazards
with an enforced reasonable speed
limit might do more good thar
harm by inducing us to drive more
carefully!

Wheat Prices Climb
To Higher Levels
Since January
Profit okine Later
Trims Advance Of
About z Cents
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO. March Is. - Wheat
prices climbed about cents bushel
at one stage today to the highest
level since January in renewal of
buying that swept through the
various grain pits. soybeans, lard
and many other commodity staples
as we'll.
Purchasing was attributed largely
to professional dealers, outside in
veStors and commercial interests,
including mills and flour users whose
activity has lifted wheat values
about 2 cents the past week despite
a sharp price reaction at midweek.
Basis for market activity was des-
cribed by pit brokers as including
the threatening international pic
ture. growing domestic industrial
production, increased Federal ex-
penditures, possibility of commodity
exports under the lend-leaSe law,
limitation of some imports due to
shipping conditions and prospect of
revised domestic farm program.
Wheat rose to 875s for May and
8412 for July but profit taking
whitfield the gains and closing figures
were a4-15s higher than yesterday,
May 87-871s, July 837s-84. Lard
shot up 1923 cents per hundred

season; soybeans closed 1885 up

Despite Government Efforts

been small in contrast to what hap
pened in 1915. 1t is true, further
more, that there have been signs in
recent weeks of an increasing dis
position to crack down on price ad-
vances and to set price ceiling on
certain important commodities.
1t should be evident by now, how
ever, that while much can be done
to control and restrain price rise,
it is impossible to prevent it in
war economy.
Widespread destruction, disruption
of normal channels of commercial
intercourse, attempts to build up
stock piles as protection against
shortages, increases in transporta-
tion and insurance costs, higher
wages forced by the need for tre-
mendous increases in production,
and an increasing tax burden are
combining to raise the general price
level.

other commodities, commodity price

Stocks Finish
Spotty Week
With Rally
Many Rise Fractions;
Few Fovorites Up
ST to So or More
What Stocks Did.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, March 15.-Bullish
sentiment revived in the stock mar
ket today and enabled the list to
finish a rather spotty week on the
advancing side.
While many leaders limited gains
to fractions, specialties, including
shipbuildings and an assortment of
senior issues, tackled on l to or
more points.
Improvement was attributed
mainly to a more optimistic ap-
praiSal of corporation earnings pros
poets and the belief that prices, on
the whole. had discounted lot of
unfavorable news. The more cheer
full feeling was present in the face
of mounting taxes, labor worries
and signs a war crisis in the Balkans
was near. Persistent strength of
major commodities also served as
a bolstering influence.
The Associated Press average of
go stocks was up 3 of a point at
All and on the week showed a net
recovery of 5. Volume picked up
at intervals and transfers for the
two hours of 265.260 shares were the
largest for a Saturday since Febru-
airy Is. They compared with 153 ,290
week ago.
Climb to New Highs.
Stocks scoring new highs for the
year included New York Shipbuild-
ing. Continental Baking "a" Climax
Molybdenum and WesSon oil.
Popular senior shares were those
of Yellow Truck, Standard Gas &
Electric, Pittsburgh Steel, Armour,
General Steel Castings, Universal
Pictures, International Paper and
Revere Copper.
Among lesser gamers were U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, General
Motors, U. S. Rubber, Douglas Air
craft, Western Union, American
Telephone, Santa Fe common and
preferred, Great Northern, Ana
conda, Montgomery Ward, Du Pont,
Bath Iron Works, White Rock,
Dresser Mfg. and Philip Morris
Aiding the shipbuilding group was
the heavy demand for ocean ton
mage, which will keep this indus
try operating at top speed for
long time. Other indicators were:
Forecasts steel production next week
will hold around capacity levels. ex-
panding retail spending and sharp

buoyed speculative forces.

ure Tuesday by the House and its

The market just about held its

New York Port Body
To Defend Holders
In j. !. Tax Cases
Treasury Move Seen
As Attack on Bonds
OF Authority
Sy the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The port
of New York authority today
countered the United States Treas
ury move to tax income of bonds
issued by the authority with an offer
to assume the defense of all its
bondholders who are thus singled
out for attack"
A statement by Frank c. Fer
guson, chairman of the authority
said:
The port authority is confident
it will defeat the treasury's proposed
suit testing the immunity of port
authority bonds from Federal taxa
ton. The treasury's action is an
attempt to tax outstanding bonds
that have been regarded as immune
from Federal taxation by the treas
ury's own regulations over period
of the past 20 years.
1T is an attack not only on port
authority bonds but on the constitu-
tional immunity of all outstanding
State and municipal issues
The treasurys first step was taken
late yesterday with formal claim
against seven holders of bonds of
the authority for Federal income
taxes on interest received on the
bonds. The action was intended
ultimately to prove that the Federal
Government has constitutional
power to tax the income from State
and municipal securities.
The treasury declared its policy
against taxing existing State and
local securities and said it wanted
only to tax income from future
issues.
