WASHINGTON. = OPP - The new
Controlled Materials Plan, urged by
War Production Board Vice Chairman
Ferdinand Eberstadt and announced
by WPB Chairman Donald Nelson this
week, sis not real program for mate
rails and production scheduling"
This was charged November by
Pres. James G. Patton, National Farm
ers Union, who said that 'it does
not insure the best use of plants, ma
chimes and manpower."
It's decentralization of powers in
seven agencies only "re-emphasizes
the need for centralizing authority in
one agency" such as suggested in the
report of the Tolan committee OF con-
gress.
Charging that the "mimeograph out
put of government agencies is now
outstripping their performance" Pat
ton said the Farmers Union chal-
lenged chose who now propose to
turn the whole war production mess
over to the Baruch committee" allud-
ing to hints from various agencies
that it should be done.

the Tolan committees findings and
recommendations" he said
Necessary foods and fibres may
drop as much as one-third below the

Patton, "unless intelligent action is

AGENCIES TO
BE EXPLAINED

During the week of November 16
meetings. that should be of interest to
all Salvage Committee members as
we'll as the general public, will be
held over the state when persons will
be on hand to explain the functions
of all the various federal and state
agencies that have anything to do
with the war effort.
l doubt if there are dozen people
in the whole state who could at this
time tell you of the activities of a
half dozen of the present federal
agencies, yet every one of them have
a definite niche in the program.
Therefore, this series of meetings
should not only be interesting but
very instructive for it will put all who
attend the meetings in position to
be able to answer a lot of questions
that come up almost every day.
Present plans call for those meet
ings being held in the following cities,
but we ask you to watch the news
papers for announcement of dates and
time: Livingston, Billings, Miles City,
Wolf Point, Havre, Shelby,
Missoula, Butte, Helena,

Gov. Sam G. Ford is expected to
issue a proclamation setting the week

HH oWeVer, the SO-calIed 1nde-
pendent referring to senator
appointed by county commits
sioners, is misnomer, judging
by his record in the lower
house.
While the house for the first time
for many years has republican ma
jority, It is probable that this circum-
stance alone will not materially affect
the class and quality of legislation
considered and passed or defeated.
Party considerations have never had
dominant influence on legislation in
former sessions and there is little
reason to think that it will have
greater influence in the coming ses-
sion than 1t has had in the past.
Other considerations such as stem
from the influence of the privileged
interests on proposed legislation, us
ually determine the alignment of the
representatives and senators regard
less of party utilization.
Published below are the names of
the representatives in the house and
senate, elected last week:

yond the merely experimental
stage into a sound social and
economic unit. The pattern it
has set offers challenging OPP
portunity for an economical
and enriched existence to low
income groups throughout the
country.
We do, of course, have a unique
house, but comparable rentals are
probably available throughout the
metropolitan area. We lease a ~
room frame house surrounded by
half-acre of lawn, flowers, and trees,
at $4,000 a month, plus thirty-four a
year for the water tax. There are
seven light bedrooms three ample for
couples, a game room and library,
both 35x14 feet, two toilets, a dining
room, kitchen, and pantry We have
since moving in, wallpapered, painted,
built clothes closets, shelves, book
cases, a ping-pong table, and modern
lied some of the furniture with which
the house was filled. Some hard
work, little horse sense, and lots of
ambition have made the house not
merely comfortable and livable, but
attractive as well.
When we started we were only five
people with an idea. We had to start
from scratch in our planning. There
were no pamphlets on similar enter
prises, no tabulated statistics to fol-
low. We met for weeks before we
looked for house, anticipating every
possible problem, drawing up general
rules by which to guide ourselves,
arguing furiously over sets of prin-
ciples. We took the Rochdale princi-
pies and adapted them to cooperative
living.
These preliminary discussions were
fruitful for we did arrive at soma
common ground, and understood each |
others outlook, desires, ideals, inf |
nitely better. We found, later, quite |
naturally, that much revision was
perience which dictated the bylaws,
not the bylaws the experience. We |
made our three month trial period"
before admission to membership "a

when we discovered that membership
in a scheme of living together was
very different from membership in a
buying club or cooperative store. We
confined buying and menu planning
to the most competent individuals

HOARDERS WON'T BE ABLE
TO USE STORED GASOLINE

Little evidence of gasoline boarding
in anticipation of nationwide ration
ing has been uncovered in the Rocky
Mountain region. OPA officials say
the spirit of cooperation among mo-
florists anxious to conserve rubber as
war measure is excellent.
All gasoline put into the tanks of
automobiles after the plan goes into
effect must, in accordance with ra-
tioning regulations, be accounted for
by coupons removed from ration
books. Stored gasoline must not be
used in amounts greater than those
permitted under rationing. Compul-
sorry periodic tire inspection will show
whether wear on tires has exceeded
that to be expected under gasoline
rationing. OPA has called upon local
War Price and Rationing Boards to
appoint all competent tire men in
their communities as inspectors.

ported today, following conferences
with government officials in Wash

In a report to Mayor Edward J.
Jeffries, City Traffic Engineer D.
Grant Mickle and Donald SlutZ,
city transportation co-ordinator,
said they were informed that "a
tioning would go into effect here
sometime in July"
They said that cars would be
limited TO approximately 1000
miles OF pleasure driving and that
war workers would be permitted
to exceed the $500 limit where il
was proved necessary. The gov
eminent, they said. would also seek
to force widespread adoption of the
so-called share-your-car plan, par
Iticularly for factory workers.
Mayor Jeffries said it was ms

average worker" He added:
'Tf well administered, no one
can object. Some aimless driving
should be eliminated. Even II we
