THREATENED

LOS ANGELES. - (FP) - Salinas
and Imperial Valley, strongholds of
ASSOCIATED Farmer vigilantism since
1884, are now being organized sue
cessfully.
| In Ell Centre, scene of a bitter at
tack on striking cotton pickers less
than three years ago, Mayor Bob Hat
ton addressed a labor union rally in
the municipal stadium, where a China
relief drive and bond sales campaign
were inaugurated.
The rally preceded the signing of
a contract with 10 Imperial Valley
fruit packing sheds by the United
Cannery Agricultural Packing &
Allied Workers (CIO). Maintenance
Of membership, the shop steward sys-
tenn, an 1870 raise and an agreement
to comply with all labor laws are pro-
vided in the contract.
Meanwhile in Salinas, scene of the
bitter 1886 lettuce strike which
marked the peak of AT terrorism, the
UCAPAW prepared to win an NLRB
election among 5000 workers in 35
sheds The shipper-dominated hide
pendent Workers Committee was re-
Gently dissolved by vote of the work
ers.
At the same time the Salinas work
ers, through an arbitration award,
won an 8-hour day for the first time
and in addition 10c to 15c daily raises.

but perhaps it is not too late. We
will have another session Of the legis-
lature next January.
This smells to me like a chapter
taken from Ed O'Neill's testimony to
the house committee in agriculture
appropriations. Let me quote:
THAT the Extension Service be
charged with the responsibility of
handling all of the education, informa-
tional, and advisory service in con-
nection with the AAA program in the
states, counties, and communities.
Under this plan the AAA committees
would continue to assume RESPONSE
bility for assigning of allotments and
the handling of all fiscal matters"
You will notice they do not even
trust themselves when it comes to
money matters as outlined by the
plantation owner who would deprive
honest people of the right to live by
taking away all FSA loans SO they
could use southern tenants as the
poems are used in Mexico and South
America.
Perhaps l am wrong but after you
have sit as we have in this state and
have seen this outfit try and sell us
down the river time and again l would
just like to have definite statement
as whether you really believed what
you said in this statement on May
2Sth or if you did hope you could
throw this program into the paws of
the Extension Department to wreck
for us.

MONTANA FARMERS

TO SECRETARY WlCkARD AND
MONTANA FARMERS

and community committeeman are
real part of our nations war effort.
Also this statement, "A.A.A. count,
and community committeeman have
done fine job in making the farm
program work for more of the things
we need"
agree with every word you have
said. If we could take ourselves bach
a few years and just study what these
men have accomplished after Other
agencies have made such a farce Of
their feeble way of giving advice to
the farmer we can we'll consider these
committeeman have performed mir
acle.
But after | had listened to your adj
dress | got to thinking about an art
icle l had read just four days pre-
vious under the heading of a state
ment by j. c. Taylor, director of ex-
tension in this state, and | quote:
"Under this program trained and re-
sponsible local leaders will be made
available in rural communities in all
counties having county agents.
1T will be the responsibility of
these local leaders to disseminate
wartime agriculture information in
their locality, to keep state and ma
tional offices informed in local prob
lens and needs, and generally serv-
ing for local contact purposes for the
neighborhood.
Problems which these leaders will
be called upon to deal with include
grain storage, shortage of material,
labor, price relationship, rationing of
products affecting agriculture, and
achievement of wartime agriculture
goals"
To me this looks like the elimina-
ton of these committeeman that you
have been talking about and the ap-
pointment of bunch of puppets by
some county agent.
Many time l have listened to adj
dresses by Henry A. Wallace, who
stressed the democratic process by
which these committeeman were
elected, and now some one comes
along and says we will eliminate this
procedure and have a county agent
appoint them. And you should know
county agents as well as l do. They

Aluminium From AIunite
Many countries, particularly Ger
many, Japan, and Norway, produce
aluminium from a substance called
alunite, of which there are literally
mountains in the states of Utah and
Washington.
There are two known processes in
this country for producing aluminium
from alunite, the Moffat and the Ka-
UNITE processes.
For nine years, Senator Murdoch of
| Utah, has been trying to get a report
from the bureau of mines on these
two processes, but nobody seemed in
terested
year ago last May, however, the
bureau did make a favorable report
on the Kalunite process. The report
said: "The Kalunite process for re-
covering alumina from alunite ores
has been adequately tested in the
laboratory and is entirely feasible
from chemical engineering stand
point"
In spite of this favorable report.
and despite the shortage of aluminium
hampering the nations war effort,
Bunker turned down the proposition
of erecting plants to produce alum
mum from aIunite.
However, on October "a last, the
Defense Plant Corporation, overriding
Bunker's advice, entered into con-
tract with Kalunite, Inc, for construc-
ton of a 100000 PLAINTIFF small
est commercial unit possible. AS
against this, the government gave"
Alcoa $685. 900 for plant expansion,
or construction. Kalunite, Inc, is thus
permitted to produce not more than |
one-half of one percent of the alumni
mum output. That smacks of protect
ing monopoly.
One would think that Bunker, osten-
sibly devoting his efforts and energies
to the job of licking Adolf Hitler,
would have seized the occasion to get /
aluminium output from any
But he did not. He even

original thought. If you tune in on
the short-wave radio from Berlin al
most any night, you will hear the
same line dished out by the nazi prop
agandists-a line whose purpose it is
to divide the nations fighting the Axis
Waldrop, of course, is not a nazi prop

Taking News
The Hearst Mccormick Patterson
papers currently are doing their ut
most to embarass Price Administrator
Leon Henderson, by printing ''rumors"

sidering resigning.
OF course, there isn't word of
truth to it. If Henderson had the re-
hottest thought of resigning the
Hearst Mccormick Patterson people
would be the last to find it out. They
don't travel in the same society.

accord with the policy of the FBI."
Attorney General Biddle was quick |
to deny that neither the FBI nor any
other division in the department of |
justice had ever suggested or formu-
lated such policy. But we would |
rather have seen a statement from
FBI Chief Hoover.

how much eye appeal has to do

one day, as | sauntered along the
bank of stream in Maine.
"They can't resist this pretty

beauties in less than an hour"
Up the bank of the stream a
dozen honey bees were delying into
the depths of some sweet-scented,
colorful arbutus.
"They can't resist the beauty of
it" l said to myself.
And humans cannot resist the
attractive salad or dessert. Add a
garnish to a plain dish Of pudding
or custard and the value of that
dessert multiples instantaneously.
A little whipped cream in fancy
form; some sliced berries; a few

no matter how simple or how COM
pick the garnish, it turns a plain
dessert into a fancy one.
