Benefit
CLAIMS PAID
PROMPTLY

Unemployment banefit claims arr
paid promptly in Montana. A curren
study of the time lapse in the issu
ance of benefit payments, made by
the Social Security Board, shows Mon
tana in high place, according to a
statement by Barclay Craighead
chairman of the Unemployment Com.
pensation Commission.
The study shows that for all states
the average of benefit payments made
in less than week is 81 percent In
Montana 1874 percent of all claims
are processed and paid in less than
a week, which is a record exceeded
by only five other states.
Current benefit claims, which
jumped from s41,144 of the preceding
week to $61,90S during the first week
of February, possibly due to unem-
ployment on account of material
shortages, made further increase to
$66,062 during the second week, said
Mr.. Craighead. However, the same
week year ago showed an expendi-
ture of $111,130.

FARMERS SHARE OF
CONSUMERS
DOLLAR RISES

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Prices paiC
to farmers for representative grouI
of food products rose nearly 49o from
mid November to mid-December, while
the rise in cost of the same domes
tic foods to consumers was negligible
and marketing charges declined, ac
cording to the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture.
The farmers share of the consum-
/ ers' food dollar increased from so
cents in November to So cents in De-
cember. During 1941 non-farm fam
ily income increased more than food
prices. Measured in terms of con-
|sumer income, the same foods now re-
quire smaller share of income than
formerly actually the smallest share
in 29 years of record, the department
said.

retail prices of domestic foods oc-
CURED in late December and early
January, according to preliminary in
formation. Trends in wholesale mar
kets indicate that prices paid to farm

same period.
Food prices in December 1941 aver

1910. Non-agricultural consumer in
come in December 1941 averaged 17%o

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Another
story of untold millions" being gath
cred by profiteers on defense con.
tracts was told by another congress
sional committee here February II.
The house military affairs subcom-
mittee which has been studying pro-

the latest report based on several

LAWYERS GUILD
RAPS DIES
Committee
Makes Detailed Report on
Four-Flushing Claims of
Dies and Shows That His
Claims Have Never Been
Confirmed by Action.

NEW YORK (FP) - On 30 sepa
rate occasions Rep. Martin Dies has
refused to expose nazi and fascist ac
tivities brought to his committees at
tention, the National Lawyers Guild
| (unaffiliated) charged February 9 in
an analysis issued by the New York
City chapter.
| The 24-page report on the strange
activity Of Dies is the only up-to-date
investigation of the Texas investiga-
tors record during the past four
years. Fifteen lawyers and research
ers worked q month on the job, comb
Ting the II volumes of the committee's s
reports and many other sources.
Opposing any further appropria-
tions, the report says the committee
stands before congress bankrupt of
achievement, having done not one
solitary thing to unearth the subver-
sive activities of our enemies and
their agents"
"Dies passes his time giving lee
lures at profitable rates and announc-
ing the existence of hundreds of thou
sands of saboteurs who were about
to be exposed by the Dies committee,
only to leave his task undone as soon
as the lecture fee was paid" the re-
port continues.
The report shows that although
Dies has frequently talked about fas-
cists and occasionally subpenaed fas-
cist agents, he has never followed
through. In March 1941, for example,
he said he had evidence about an
organization of 100000 members pro-
noting Hitler's theology. He did not
name this group, nor did he ever men
tion it again.
In December 1910 Dies held secret
hearings on a reported nazi clique in
the west coast aircraft industry. Moth
ing has been heard since. In Novem-
ber 1910 he promised that next
week. he would reveal plan of the
German-American Bund to sabotage
American industry. Dies got his ap-
renewed, but the report
never appeared.
Similarly, he promised in October
1910 to turn over to the FBI list of
100000 fifth columnists. He also
boasted about knowing the names of

The majority of the restitution paid

that many of the recipients patriot

in defense stamps and bonds. Some
received checks totaling several hun
dred dollars. The payments repre-
sented previously unpaid minimum

The division is suggesting to en-

ments that they appeal to their EN-

missions that the poll tax is designed

Security Administration
The FSA came under the fire Of the
congressional committee on monde
fense expenditures, headed by Sen.
Harry F. Byrd d., Va.), because 1t
approved family budgets which make
allowances for payment of the poll
tax.
Edward A. O'Neal, president of the

joined in the attack on FSA.. The
Farm Bureau Federation is seeking
to have the major functions of FSA

ALLEGATION of raw materials and the
rationing of consumer goods. In short,
as far as current practice is con-
cerned, free enterprise will have been
replaced by government management
of all important economic affairs.
Skyrocketing prices and the fabu-
lous profits reported by the Tolan

profits and wages. Such program
has recently been adopted in Canada.

several years.
