BY JOHN STAHLBERG

II A. E. Anderson, In the August
issue of The Peoples Voice, declares
that "the WPA setup in Silver Bow
county has degenerated into rack
et." Although this degeneration i!
not a recent thing, the remark recall!
a complaint of slightly different kind
which is heard often in many parts
of the state. Phrased interrogatvely
| it is simply this: Why should Silver
Bow county have all the best of the
government handouts?
1t would perhaps be difficult to de.
termine just how much justice there
may have been at various times in
this question and its implications
After all, most Montana communities
have received considerable sums OF
federal money since 1898. 1t can,
however, be very definitely stated
that for several years. there has been
"a growing tendency in the Montana
WPA to remove those projects to
Butte which are most readily devel-
oped into well-paying rackets. Since
fraud in the awarding of local con-
struction projects (for example, high
ways and airports) is limited by
many factors, and the projects them
selves are impossible to move once
work has begun, it is obvious that
the units of WPA most susceptible
to racketeering are the women's sew
ing rooms and the white collar prof
ects. Especially the white collar pro-
ects.
Witness the writer's project aud the
art project. The latter was never al
lowed chance to get established out
side Silver Bow county; but the form
er was set up before WPA became
the highly organized and smooth-work-
ing skin game that it is today and
was consequently established in what
seemed logical surroundings regard
less of the personal convenience of
those in power. 1t cost Joe Parker
and his soulmates many secret sigh,
many a bitter tear of regret in the
hush and dimness of the Silver Bow
night before they managed at last
to get it firmly in their clutches. They
wouldn't in fact have managed it then
but for the act of congress which
abolished the federal projects and
turned their control over to the in
dividual states. The federal writer's
project became the state writer's prof.
ect in September 1899; less than a
year later it had become to all in
tents and purposes a Silver Bow prof.
ect with all its controls, all the keys
to its resources, safely in the pocket
Of Lingerie Joe or of his mustachioed
Michael Kennedy. For
almost since the begin
ming of the project in 1935-they had
been striving to obtain more author
ity over this unit; they had exerted
pressure on succession of state di-
rectors to force it's removal to Butte;
failing this, they had schemed to win
the dictatorship for Michael or some
complaisant member of Joe's
official harem. Now the struggle was
the glorious victory won;
Joe looked upon his agency's record

had to discard on this. He picked
a spade. which made success for
South possible. He ruffed a spade
then. taking out Vests last one,
returned to his hand with a dia-
mond ruff and cashed the spade 9
for the winning trick.
A better man in the West would
have read South as holding five
spades originally because East
had played the @ and ] or the two
top honors. Consequently he
would have held on to his spade 10
and discarded his diamond @ in
stead on the tenth trick. That
would haze beaten South. His only
chance for contract. as he played
the hand, was to find the spades
split 3-3 or have the holder of
four make this very mistake.
