Owners Must
Record Tire Nos.
To Get Payments

In order to assure payment of
losses on stolen tires, automobile
owners who carry theft insurance
must keep records of all tire serial
numbers, it was pointed out today
by the Otto M. Christinson Land
company, insurance firm. Unless the
car owners are able to identify
stolen tires, insurance companies no
longer will pay claims, it was point
ed out. The government rationing is
creating a critical theft situation
and requirements of tires in case of
loss will De impossible. All car own
ers are urged to make records of
tire makes and serial numbers and
put them away fer safe keeping.

| WALLER
EXECUTION
STAYED

A 31-day stay of execution, to June
10, has been granted Odell Waller,
negro sharecropper of Gretna, Va, by
Gov. Colgate w. Darden Jr. of Vir-
ginia, the Workers Defense League
has revealed. Waller had been SEN
fenced to die May 10. The stay was
obtained to permit presentation to the
United States supreme court of petit
tion for re-hearing by League attorney
John F. Finerty. On May the su-
preme court, without opinion, refused
to review the case. The American
Civil Liberties Union Joined the
Workers Defense League in friend
of the court brief written by Thur
good Marshall, special counsel to the
National Association for Advancement
of Colored People.
Odell Waller, %, killed his farmer
landlord, Oscar Davis, in 1910 in dis
pute over crop shares. Waller claimed
self defense. Workers Defense League
attorneys appealed to the United
States supreme court on the grounds
that Waller had not received q trial
by jury of his peers, and presented
affidavits showing that non-payers of
the poll tax we're systematically barred
from grand and petit jury lists in
Pittsylvania county, Va. The affidav-
Its further showed that over so per
cent of the population of the county
were unable to pay the poll tax and
were thereby barred from serving on
juries.
In commenting on the case, Ashley
L. Totten, international secretary
treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters (AFL), declared: 81
am astounded at the failure of the
high court to review Odell Walters
case. 1t is the continuity of lack of
concern for negro rights by American
courts and other governmental agen-
cies which is causing apathy In the
minds of negroes toward the war for
democracy abroad. Our entire inter-
union is very much con-
cerned that the right of poor man |
to trial by his economic peers be |
established by the United States SUI
preme court, and we pledge the whole
hearted support of our organization |
to save the life of Odell Waller. The
fight to save Walters life is the fight
Of all poor people, negroes and whites,
for equal Justice"
Governor Darden was praised by |
he Workers Defense League for his
continued humane attitude" in Wal
er's case in wire to the governor

Montana Dairy

/
IS, 900.
The organization In our state is
known as the Montana Dairy Indus
tries, and provides for representation
on the board of directors of members
| from all three farm groups and the
dairy organizations. The national
organization is known as the Amer
| lean Dairy Association, and this year
its executive committee will be COM
posed of one representative from each
of the contributing states, this rep
resentative to be appointed by the
board of directors from that particu-
lar state.
For many years the dairy industry
has thought it unnecessary to adver-
tise, believing their products could
stand on their own merits. However,
the extensive advertising being given
so-called substitutes for dairy prod
ucts, as we'll as all other salable arti-
cles, has created growing need on
the part of the dairy industry to bid
for its share of the consumers dollar
Further, when it is considered that
the dairy industry is the largest single
agricultural industry in the nation and
has spent many times less for adver-
Using than any other staple food, it
appears that something should be
done to remedy its present standing.
This is also true of research work;
certain percentage of the yearly
funds being allotted to research work
on the nutritive values of dairy prod
ucts.
1t is pointed out that Montana, in
the national scope of this program,
derives as much benefit for the $4,000
they contribute to the national fund
as, for instance, Minnesota or Wis
consin, each contributing $4,000.
The objection has been offered that
the producer is not well enough rep
resented in either the national or
state board. However, as provided |
for in the bylaws of both the asso- |
Citations, this can be easily remedied |
If the producer representatives will |
attend these meetings and bring these
facts before the board of which they |
are a member
Because this nationwide campaign |
Is one of dairy farmers working to-
gether, the cost to the individual pro-
Queer is small, approximately 10 cents
per COW. On 10-cow herd, that is
around dollar year to maintain
an aggressive advertising campaign to
the sale of butter, cheese,
milk and other dairy products every
day of the year.
1t is needed now to urge America
10 eat more dairy foods. 1t is needed
as foundation for the postwar pc
rod. Without lend-lease, without war
demands, the problems facing the
larry industry will be one of bring
ing consumption in line with high
gear production. Consistent advertis-
ing of dairy products through the
American Dairy Association will cush-

Of only 12,700,00O tons, or less than
than half the space needed for cur
rent supplies. Most of the granaries
and sheds are located in the Buenos
Aires and Rosa Fe zones but are fair
ly well distributed throughout the
grain belt. The Argentine govern
ment planned to construct about $50
elevators with capacity of about
100000 tons but the program is re-
ported to be making slow progress
as the result of rising prices and the
difficulty in obtaining materials.
CASH WHEAT: A good, steady de-
mand prevailed for the weeks re-
ceipts of cash wheat and with offer
ings only moderate premiums were
strong to about lie up. Minneapolis
arrivals amounted to 837 cars of all
classes Of wheat while Duluth I'M
loaded 345. The trading basis was
switched to the July delivery and at
the close almost as strong a range
was fetched for cash wheat as COM
pared with the July as prevailed
week ago when trades were based on
the May. With July wheat worth
about &c more than the May, 1t meant
an advance in cash wheat of about
the same amount in addition to the
gain in the futures. No. dark north
ern spring wheat, ordinary protein,
was quoted within a range of lie under
to lie over the July price, with most
of the trades of 1870 protein going at
around the July figure. No dark
northern spring wheat was called 4c
to lie under the July, and No. 3 dark
northern &c to &c under. Additional
premiums based on protein ran lie
over the base for 1870 protein; &c
over base for 1870 protein; SC over
base for 1870 protein; and &c over
base for 1879 protein. Diversion point

return on investment. This alterna
tive method, according to the treasury
experts, works unfairly to the advan
tage of large corporations and to the
disadvantage of the U. s. Treasury.
Despite appeals for a change in this
method, the committee retained 1t.
In addition, the committee changed
the excess profits tax to provide that
the SO remaining, after payment of
the 94%o profits tax, will not be sub
ject to the 409o normal income tax.
At present this SO would be taxable

Leading opposition to changes in
farm prices to rise to 1907 of parity
and involve complicated formulas, are
representatives of the meat packers
and the cotton growers.

that prevented the administration, at

Resistance to the Presidents pro-
gram in congress has stirred resent
ment in the ranks Of labor officials
who are worried about the applica-
ton of wage sterilization.
Officials who have agreed to accept
the most drastic implications of the
wage sterilization program did SO on
the basis that other features of the
program would be applied equally
drastically. Failure to adopt restric-
lions on farm prices and profits, they
contend, will result in labor's wages
being tied down while prices increase.
Under the price freezing regulations
recently issued, they argue, about
300 Of the average workers budget
is still uncovered by price ceilings.
The solution to the problem, it is
contended, is action by labor to In

forcement Of all seven points outlined
