THE FUTURE OF AMERICA depends upon the
ability of industry to out-produce the Axis. This is no
time for temporizing-it is job for the Know-Hows.'
Experience is vital. American industrial management
has that experience. 1t knows what to do and how to
do it. But it must not be it can not be hampered.
Government and industry must pull together.
On that Sunday morning when Pearl Harbor was
then, delivering electric power to speed the produc-
lion of vital wal materials. Since then, its copper
einews-that-serve have continued to deliver enormous
blocks of electric power every minute, day and night,
to the cause of the United Nations.
The business-managed Montana Power Company
was ready. There was no confusion-no delay. The
modified kilowatts were on the march.
The Montana Power Company is supplying our war
effort with twice as much essential electric power as
in 1918. The far-sighted planning of business man
agement has made that condition possible without
expenditure of public funds.

Wheat Quota Favored
BY Biol in Early
Farm Vote Count
Needed Approval Margin
Locking in MoryIond's
First Returns
By the Associated Press.

BY ire ASSociateo fresS
Incomplete returns from yester-
days farmer referendum gave q
favorable majority for an Agricul-
ture Department proposal to con-
tinue rigid marketing quotas for
wheat.
Partial returns from 80 Of the 70
wheat growing States gave 8S,906
votes for quotas and 3.070 against.
This was q majority Of about 73 per
cent. Approval by at least two-thiTds
of the farmers voting was required.
Agriculture Department ofncials
expected the majority to be In
creased by returns yet to be tabu-
votes was In States where the con-
troll program rolled up top-heavy
majorities In q similar referendum
. year ago.
The early vote in Ohio, Maryland
and New Jersey gave quotas less
than . two-thirds majority.
Second Vote in . Years.
This was the second time in two
years that farmers had been asked
to approve marketing quotas under
which each farmer would be allotted
share In the market. Grain sold
or used in excess Of a quota would
be subject to penalty Of 81 cents
a bushel.
In the previous referendum, farm
ers approved quotas for the 194l
wheat crop.
The quota program reflects the
departments policy Of encouraging
farmers to divert some land and
effort from wheat to other COM
modities needed for the war effort.
such as meat, dairy and poultry
products, vegetables and oil crops.
Because exports have virtually
disappeared, wheat supplies In this
country have accumulated to such
an extent that the Nations trans
portation and storage facilities may
have difficulty in handling this
years crop, which probably win bs
above normal.
Acreage Cut Sharply.
Under the wheat control program,
the national wheat acreage has de-
clined from a peak Of $4,000 900
acres to slightly less than 5000, 900
acres this year. Even so, the 1912
crop and the reserve from previous
years are expected to provide q
two-year supply Of the bread grain.
The department announced FRI
day q tentative wheat price-sup-
porting loan program which was
expected to influence some farmers
to vote for quotas. The department
offered loan rates averaging Sl.14
a bushel for farm-stored wheat.
The loan program is subject, how
ever, TO grower approval Of quotas
in today's voting. The loan averaged
50 cents last year. Of1cials said
withdrawal Of the loan program
could be expected to result in lower
wheat prices.

1929 Enemy Aliens in US.
Inferned Since War BEGAN

Out of a total Of 2,548 cases Of
enemy aliens heard by local Enemy
Alien Hearing Boards through April
Is, Attorney General Biddle has
ordered internment for 1929, parole
for 875 and outright release for 371
the Justice Department announced
yesterday.
OF the enemy aliens involved in
these cases, 1,275 were Germans. 996
were Japanese and 277 were
Italians.
Under the procedure followed
since the declaration of war, enemy
aliens believed to be dangerous are
apprehended by the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation, the Justice Depart
ment explained. Each alien is held
in custody by the immigration and
Naturalization Service until his case
Is heard by an enemy alien hearing
board.
Mr.. Biddle pointed out that parole
Is usually accorded those aliens
against whom no subversive intent
can DC proved, but whose loyalty is
open to some doubt because of
family ties or former membership
in suspected organizations.
In order to be released outright
an enemy alien must prove that
his loyalty to the United States is
without question. OF the 37l re-
leased to date, 215 were set free
during the first month after hear
ings began
OF the 1,275 Germans whose cases
have been heard, 556 have been
interned for duration of the war
491 have been paroled and 22s re-
leased. OF the 996 Japanese, 63a
have been interned, 293 sparoled and
10 released. One hundred and thir-
teen Italians have been interned,
81 paroled and 73 released.

Labor Leaders Silent
On Presidents S Plan
To Stabilize Wages
Union Views Moy Be
Learned at Meeting
In Pittsburgh Today
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
Five days after President Roose-
velt's declaration that wages must
be stabilized, leaders of organized
labor are stin notably silent, raising
a question whether they are angered,
pleased. suspicious or bewildered.
Neither A. r. L. President william
Green nor c. I. o. President Philip
Murray has made any public COM
ment. The labor press has largely
ignored the subject editorially.
However, a special meeting Of
leaders OF the Steel Workers Or
ganizing Committee, called by Mr..
Murray for today in Pittsburgh,
may produce some indication Of
labor's views Of the Presidents anti
imitation program.
Wage Demand Pending.
Pending before the War Labor
Board Is the Little Steel case in
volving demands by the S. w. o. c.
for a general 81 day increase for
workers in plants of the Bethlehem,
Republic and Inland Steel Com
panies and the Youngstown Sheet
g. Tube Co.
Here is how some labor papers
treated the Presidents message to
Congress:
The A. F. L. Weekly News Service,
a clipsheet Of news accounts and
editorial interpretations" devoted
its principal display columns to the
message on a straight reportorial
basis. No Interpretation accom-
panied it. The C. I. o. News, pub
ished yesterday, gave the story
secondary display and reportorial
treatment only.
Labor. weekly organ of the rail-
road brotherhoods, showed pleasure
in a negative way. Its newspage
story said the Presidents message
and radio chat did not please the
'sweatshoppers'" but did not indi-
cate whether railway labor was
pleased. An editorial dealt only
with the proposed $25 900 limit on
salaries. Arguments against 1t, the
paper said. ARE pretty thin"
Mine Journals Comment.
The United Mine Workers
Journal, organ Of John L. Lewis C..
I. o. Mine Workers Union, confined
the subject to the news pages, but
gave 1t some interpretive treatment.
Labor" said the lead article,
may or may not have won a VIC
tory by the omission of the freezlng
OF wage rates as of any particular
date" After quoting from the
Presidents reference to wages IN
his speech. the article said, The
question resolves itself into what
constitutes stabilization OF wage
rates. - Interpreting the Presi-
dents statements and the price,
fixing formulas, it appears that the
wage requests of the steel workers
pending before the War Labor
Board. as we'll as the requests Of the
automobile workers, both for 81 .
day increases, would be denied.
ANY further advances OF wages
in the building trades, coal industry,
railroads, electric manufacturing
and multitude of other industries
would likewise be q matter for con-
sideration of the War Labor Board.
who would act on directive OF the
President OF the United States
which prohibited that body from
granting any additional wage IN

The Rolling Pin
Goes Into Action

A N ARMY of 10000 husky
"a housewives aine d to
y batter any invaders with
rolling pins-that's the aim Of
Captain Cornelius N. Boyer. 95-
year-old Civil War veteran. The
idea, although militarily imprac-
teal. may not be as silly as it
sounds.
The whole thing started as a
gag. Speaking at Santa Cruz,
California, defense meeting, the
elderly Captain jokingly sug-
gested that women prepare for
the day when they could rap Jap
or Nazi paraehutists over the
head with their trusty hardwood
rolling pins and some OF his list
eners took him seriously
The first thing he knew. the
Sacramento Wome ems Relief
Corps of the Grand Army of the
Republic met and picked him to
rganize the rolling Primers.
Word Of the army" spread.
Other California groups took it
up-and inquiries began TO come
from States as far away az
Michigan and Ohio.
Although admitting the whole
idea may not make much sense.
Captain Boyer points out that
we've got to have some foolish
ness for the sake of morale" The
old vet reasons that If he gets
the women TO thinking in terms
Of seeking Nazi or Jap para
troops over the head with rolling
pins, they'll also take more &C
tive part in the more practical
efforts of this country to defend
itself.
The only requirements for
joining the Captains rolling pin
brigade are steady eye, and a
well-developed right arm. The
technique of fighting is no diff
ferent from the Amazonian clout
administered to friend hubby
when he comes home late and
tipsy. With plenty of wood on
hand. Boyer doesn't expect to see
priorities cut in on the arming
Of his troops"
I'D like to see the idea spread
throughout the United States"
the Captain explained. IF the
Japs or Hitler's army come over
here, we will offer to assist the
government. II we aren't needed,
there's no harm done"
For the housewife, who wants
to join. but doesn't own a rolling
pin, Captain Boyer will give
her one from the stock accumu-
lated by the rank and file who
have donated their kitchen arm
ament at special showers for the
old vet.
