Nine Machinery
Can't Be Sold
DIIriHq "Freeze''

! Machinery and equipment which
I had been used in gold mines whose
/ operations are being ended by linita-
ton order L-2O8 were frozen In the
hands Of their owners by an amend
ment to the order issued by the di-
rector general for operations.
The amendment mo. j. prohibits
the sale or disposal Of any machinery
or equipment of the types listed in
schedule A Of preference rating order
P-56, from non-essential mine as
defined in L-208, without the specific
permission of the director general.
Within the next go days, operators
of mines closed down by the L-208
order are required to file an itemized
list of machinery and equipment with
the war production board, indicating
items available for sale or rental. Upon
receipt Of such lists, WPB will furnish
mine operators with forms on which
the machinery an operator wishes to
sell can be described in detail. These
forms viii be used by WPB to help in
the speedy disposal Of the equipment.
The L-208 order affected the opera
tions Of those gold mines which were
not assigned serial number under
preference rating order P-56. To take
care of cases where a serial number
now in existence may be cancelled at
some future date, the amendment an
nounced also provides that in such
cases, the interim period during which
mines are permitted to operate is cal
culated from the date of cancellation
of the serial number rather than the
date of original issuance Of the order.
An additional exception provided by
the amendment permits the minimum
assessment work required by federal
statute
Mining men are referred to the.
mining association Of Montana at
Butte for further details.

Relief For Gold
Miners Demanded

WASHINGTON = Senator Murray
D., Mont, proposes the contracts held
on lode or placer mines be suspended
for the duration as a relief measure
for owners of gold mines affected by
the WPB shutdown order.
The proposal was embodied In SD
1909, which he introduced.
Other provisions Of the bill would
authorize the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. to make loans up to rs percent
of the market value on mines which
the corporation determined would
deteriorate without relief and would
suspend assessment work on lode and
placer claims for the duration.

MINING MEN
IN CONFERENCE
AT SPOKANE

SPOKANE - Instead of having its
annual convention at this time. the
Northwest Mining Association held a
round-table. war-mineraI conference
at the Davenport Hotel
The gathering was for the purpose
of better acquainting the mine opera
tors of the northwest with some Of
the new government laws and rulings
and also to discuss state laws and
rulings that affect the mining in
dustry, especially those covering in
creased metal production for war
purposes.
]. B. Barney" Haffner. general
manager of the Bunker Hill & Sulli-
van operations guided the major
activities Of the conference. The fol-
lowing were speakers: Wesley o. Ash,
coast regional director Of Wages and
hours and public contracts divisions;

wald director of Idaho bureau Of
mines and geology; Howard P. Sher-
man. district engineer, RFC; Ed
Davis, director of Washington state
department Of conservation and de-
velopment; also, representative Of
q. S. geological survey.
Registration started at 10 A. M. Fri
day at the headquarters Of the

CONGRESSMAN
SEES SHORTAGE
OF OIL IN IT. s.

Congressman Wesley E. DisneI
CD from Oklahoma, made the fol
lowing statement on the floor of thu
House:
1.-THE nation is headed for an
oil shortage. This shortage Of the
material that propeIs the vehicles,
ships, and planes Of war is not far
distant. 1t can be Obviated by I'm
telligent action on the part Of the
executive department. *ss
"The oil men Of this nation can
not produce oil for less than cost.
Cost of production has gone up
more than 35c a barrel since 1887
and there has been no attendant
raise In prices"

Gas RGtiOning Is
WrGthfuL Work
For Local Board

II Montana is a criterion, 1t was an
irate America during the past week
as gasoline rationing went into effect
With ration boards short of necessary
forms and with few If any under
standing the rules, thousands of
truck, owners over the country were
without ration cards; fleet car owners
were without proper cards, like hun
dreds of thousands who claimed oc-
cupational driving demands in excess
of four gallons a week. The widest
individuals of all were members of
the ration boards who knew by the
end of the week how fox feels when
full hue and cry.
Gasoline stations worked overtime
on Monday-probably the greatest
single days business in the history of
the nation. On Tuesday there weren't
enough gasoline sales to justify keep
ing stations open. Townsfolks and joy
riders settled down to adjust their
habits to four gallons week. 1t was
the people in essential industries, who
are dependent upon their cars for
transportation, who began worrying.
Travelling men were bounced out on
their ears by some ration boards;
granted &C" books by others. As
surance came from OPA that travel
ing men would be cared for. As
surance came from another source
that sugar beet growers would get
enough gasoline to carry on the har-
vesting and hauling of their crops.
There were many stories going the
rounds: one about a dairyman south
of Great Falls who, on appeal, was
granted one gallon Of gasoline per
day, which won't get him to town and
back. He was told that he should ship
his milk to the city on the trolley.
There hasn't been a trolley car in
north Montana in 20 years.
An oil operator was granted enough
gasoline to get to his lease and back
about three-quarters OF the way
nome. probably to park there until the
following week when he could get
more gasoline.
And so the nations I. O. tottered :
throughout the week.
The ODT announced that CONNER
,ial vehicle operators who have not ]
received their certificates of war
necessity win be allowed T rations for [
heir requirements through Dec. 81.

sABOTEUR?

SABOTEUR?
OF course you are not a saboteur-
no, you are not on the payroll of an
Axis power, but have you innocently
helped to hinder our war effort?
Properties extremely vital to the war
are located in our state. We know it
and so do our enemies The larger in
dustries are employing at consider
able expense, guards and watchmen
to protect these properties which are
contributing so much toward the war
effort today. All visitors are banned
unless they have important business
to transact. Those operating on q
smaller scale should likewise increase
their vigilance to protect their
properties, as it is the combined pro-
duction Of both the large and small
producers which will bring victory.
Everyone can help to guard against
saboteurs by constant vigilance against
those who might destroy or slow
down our production. Keep alert to
unusual actions of persons in areas
vital to our war effort. Don't forget
that your citys water supply COM
munication facilities, and public
than ever today and should be ade-
quately and constantly protected. In
utilities Of all sorts are more vital
many cases these organizations have
employed guards but your personal
vigilance also is an essential part of |
their protection.
Fire, king Of saboteurs, entkroned
by your carelesSness, DESTROYED since
Pearl Harbor millions of dollars worth
OF materials vital to our war effort. )
Yes, fire destroyed irreplacable rub q
Der supplies and now we realize the
rubber shortage as we contriye to
carry on with four gallons per week.
The losses in many cases were large
because vast quantities were stored in
concentrated ares under hazardous
conditions. The results of the recent
disastrous night club fire in Boston
are Just as harmful to our war effort
as If enemy agents had killed 500 or
more people. Innocent carelessness in
using a match in an apparently haz-
ardous location where there was a
Of persons caused this
disaster.
Perhaps a fire in your plant could
not destroy the spectacular amounts
mentioned in the accounts Of large
fires, but remember that many small
Tres can equal one large one in de-
itruction. Avoid concentrating in
1amable materials In one location for
hen a fire generally results in a
complete loss. Keep explosives and in
lamable materials remote from your
main plant to minimize your loss in
ase of fire 1t might be possible to
xtinguish blaze in your mill by the
sual fire fighting equipment, but If
on add so gallons Of gasoline to the
anne fire your chances win be slim.
remember too, that an empty gaso-
ne tank or can is more dangerous

1lting vapor is a highly explosive
fixture. If you must solder q gasoline y

BY HELEN LOMBARD.

washington Is occasionally being
referred to in diplomatic circles as
the Geneva of tomorrow" Into
the Capital. picturesque personali-
ties from all over the world are
coming every day. Countries which
used to consider the United States
as of no more than routine diplo-
matte Importance now have large
missions here.
The United Nations, of course,
have greatly expanded their stats
| and some countries which never
had representatives in the United
States now have spokesman in
| Washington.
India now has diplomatic agent,
Sir Girja Bajpai, who is nominally
under the ever spreading wing of
the British Embassy. The Indian
agency functions, however, as a
separate unit and the agent general
has large staff which is respon-
sible to him. Sir Bajpai sees any
| official to whom he wishes to talk
about Indian affairs and certainly
enjoys larger share of independ-
ence than did the Italian diplomats,
for instance, when their Nazi COL
leagues were expurgating their guest
lists and supervising their social
and diplomatic activities.
First Arab Minister.
The government of Iraq, some
time ago, sent the first Arab Min
lister to the United States. Ali
Jawdat, like some of the Washing
ton agencies. has his eye primarily
on the postwar period-with his
interest focused on the Middle East.
The ultimate fate of the land which
contains the Garden of Eden, now
ruled by a 4-year-old King, and
the ultimate ownership of the oil
fields of Mosul are of vital interest
to the Iraquian representative.
1t is rumored that the almost
legendary Ibn-ben Saud, King of
Hedjaz and Saudia Arabia. is now
contemplating the dispatch of
diplomatic representative to the
United States. Often described as
the most romantic figure in the
Arab world, Ibn Saud is rated the
most redoubtable enemy or the most
valuable ally for any power which
has interests in the region between
the Tigris and the Red Sea. Amer
lean agents recently have contacted
the powerful Arab chief and have
been cordially received. The war
rior King has, among other claims
to glory. the reputation of living
peacefully in the company of four
legal wives and several hundred
concubines.
Syria Receives Representative.
The new republic OF Syria, which
was wrested from Vichy control by
British and Fighting French forces,
has now received an American dip
lomatic representative in the person
of George Wadsworth, former
| Charge d'Affaires in Rome. A Syrian
representative is expected to arrive
in Washington in spite of the opposi-
ton of certain French groups who
are loathe to see premature change
| in the status of inundated Syria
The Emperor of Morocco, Sidi
Mohammed, has been represented
heretofore by French diplomatic and
Consular agents. The arrival of
American forces in North Africa and
the disappearance of the Vichy gov
eminent has opened up the posi-
bility of direct exchange between
the Emperor of Morocco and the
| TI,,yf f1t ~,
credited with having done much of
the political preparation for the
