Shoe store owners opinion of
mankind sank to an all-time low
today.
While large part of Washing
tons population mobbed local shoe
shops on the last day ration cou-
pom; II is valid, store managers
described the buyers antics as
"aslnine," stupid" selfish and
unpatriotic"
This belligerent attitude marked a
complete reversal of peacetime def
erence under which the customer
is always right
Said the harassed owner of large
Connecticut avenue shoe store:
1--WE have been open only 10 min
utes, and there are 80 people in the
store. 1t seems hard to understand
that when people have had four
months in which to buy shoes, they
have to wait until the last day to
use that coupon. I have no sympa-
thy for them. When people stand up
and get impatient, just tell them
they'll have to wait. Why. We even
have women with babes in arms in
here"
1T is all so silly. You would think
people here would be more citif1ed.
They regulate everybody else. so you
would think they could at least be
able to regulate their own affairs"
There are petty attempts at CHS
cling, such as asking permission to
leave the stamp now and select the
shoes week hence. or buying shoes
willy-nilly now with the intention
of exchanging them later, he said.
All stores have clamped down on
exchanges. Sales must be final. No
detached coupons are accepted.
In a Pennsylvania avenue shoe
store selling popular priced foot
wear, even the bookkeeper had been
drafted for the sales force.
This is all so asinine," she OBJ
served. I'VE know we are selling
people stock they will not be salts
fed with. They buy anything. If

Fight 10 Kill NYA
Taken 10 House Floor
By Vote Of II 10 Is
Committee Gives Agency
100000 to Wind Up
Affairs by January I
, the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
"A bare majority of the House
Appropriations Committee car
ried to the floor today its fight
to kill off the National Youth
Administration.
Although several other New Deal
agencies have felt the heat of q
congressional economy drive, only
one has actually perished thus far
the Civilian Conservation Corps.
BY the close vote of II to Is, the
committee struck from a Federal
Security Agency supply bill yester-
day a subcommittee recommended
tion that NYA be given $4,000, 900
to carry on limited program dur
ing the fiscal year starting July J..
Instead, the full committee or
dered the agency liquidated not later
than January l and gave it $4,000, 900
from unexpended balances of pre-
vious appropriations to wind up its
affairs.
NYA Set Up in 1885.
Last year NYA received approx
mately 100000 900, and for the new
year the budget called for approx
mately s55,000,000
NYA, one of the depression born
relief agencies, was set up in 1885
to conduct industrial training schools
in different parts of the country
for youths of II to "a. 1t also
operated a student work program
to enable needy persons, l6 to "a,
to remain in school.
The committee fight to eliminate
Its entire fund except a nominal
liquidation allotment was led by
Representative Engel, Republican,
of Michigan, who said he would
resist any attempt to restore funds
during House debate on the bill
However, he said he expected sup
porters of the agency to make a
determined fight to save it in the
Senate.
Grant Joins in Fight.
Representative Grant, Republican,
Of Indiana, joined in the NYA
fight by labelling the agency AN
unnecessary one that has outlived
its usefulness and has become an
other tool in the hands of the New
Deal social experimenters.
Mr.. Engels campaign to abolish
what he has called useless" Fed
eral agencies has won complete
success to date only in the case of
the CCC, another relief agency for
youths.
While the House recently ordered
diScontinuance of the National
Resources Planning Board and the
Farm Security Administration, the
Senate has refused to go along and
legislation carrying funds for those
two agencies is tied up in confer
ence.

CONG. BENNETT OPENS: I am
opposed to the pending Bill TO repeal
the Chinese Exclusion Laws because
it nulliies a basic, thoroughly sound,
and long-established rule of immi-
grafton in the midst Of a world war.
Fundamental immigration policies
are i~rrevocably connected with So
cial and economic questions which
are usually disrupted in time of war.
| am not opposed, however, to re-
pealing those parts Of our Exclusion
Acts which specifically name the
Chinese. In fact, I intend to offer an
amendment to the present Bill which
will accomplish this very thing. We
will then have placed the Chinese on
equal ground with all other Asiatics
which is as far, / think, as we may
safely 60 at this time. The question
Of whether our general immigration
policy needs revision is going to be
one of our most perplexing postwar
problems and Congress should not
attempt to deal with it piecemeal
while the war is still in progress.
Furthermore, l think it is desirable
to await the return of our soldiers
and sailors who are fighting on all Of
the world battlefronts before en-
barking on a radical change in our
immigration laws. We ought to have
the benefit Of their judgment and
advice based upon the experience
they have gained in contact and
association with peoples Of other ma
tons.
CONG. CURTIS CHALLENGES:
Mr.. Bennett stresses the point that
the Chinese Exclusion Law should
not be repealed because we are in a
war and that this decision should
await the return of our soldiers. l
contend that it is a necessary part Of
our war program. l believe more SOL
diers will return alive if we repeal
this law. The repeal OF the Chinese
Exclusion Law will take a weapon
away from our mutual enemy
Japan. Should this wait until after
the war? Mr.. BENEFITS amendment
avoids the issue. Either we favor ex-
Guiding the Chinese or we favor
granting them a quota so Chinese
may enter.
CONG. BENNETT REPLIES: There
is no question in the mind of any
member in the House but that we
are going to be called upon to aid
China in her program Of %rehabilita-
ton after the wal is won, because
China's problems are not going to be
solved with the winning Of the wa .
We are then going to be called upon
to help feed the starving people OF
China. We should give China actual
and material aid, not offer gestures
or a few crumbs as this Bill proposes
to do. This legislation will do MOTH
ing but multiply the many head
aches we already have.

L0thair Wildcat
Causes Stir in
HaVre Oil Area

HAVRE-A wildcat" well drilled
by the Texas company 10 miles north
of Lohair, Liberty county, is causing
widespread excitement and Specula-
ton in this area with company
announcements that tremendous
possibilities for development of a
new field are evident.
The drill, after going down 2,579
feet, reached oil which rose 1900,
according to the announcement.
Drilled in top Madison lime, it is
expected that, barring intrusion of
water, a possibility of new and great
oil development in northern Mont
ana exists.
1t was estimated the new we'll will
produce 100000 cubic feet of gas
per day, but no immediate piping
CT gas for commercial purposes was
predicted. The well is approximately
rs miles from the Kevin-S unburst
field. It's discovery brought predic-
lions that new interest in drilling in
this section of the state will arise.

Navy Grows from
1000 Ships to
$4,000 for War

GREAT FALLS - The United
States now has some $4,000 fighting
ships in its naval forces as COM
pared with only 1000 three years
ago, Lieut. Herbert L. Fox of the
18th naval district in Seattle told a
meeting of civic leaders here.
The worlds mightiest navy also
has a strong air force, with $4,000
planes experimenting its seagoing
forces, compared with 5000 planes
in 1910. He said navy personnel
numbered 1900, 900, but would not
give the total quota expected.
Lieutenant Fox said ocean lanes
from the west coast to the South
Pacific were entirely under the
control Of the United States, but the
hardest battle of all is the attempt
to maintain control in the North
Atlantic. In that area, sailors ard
merchant marines, which he des-
cribed as unsung heroes of the war.
have often undergone raids that
have lasted continuously for 70
hours.

Mail Carrier Glad
to See City after
a 6O-Mile Route

MISSOULA-W. e Barden says
he likes the close-adjoining houses
and apartment buildings in MiSSoula
and would like to carry a mail route
around the city Just for the fun OF
it,"
Barden arrived here with public
roads administration equipment
from Edmonton, Canada, where he
was employed as a mail carrier on
the Alaskan highway. His route was
$50 miles long-from Fort Nelson to
Watson Lake in the Yukon terri
tory-with no settlement or houses
in between.
Barden said he never knew when
he started how long his trip would
take. In some places road sections
were so bad he had to travel in low
gear. In more advanced stages of
construction, he could go 10 miles
an hour, he said.
The erstwhile lonely mailman said
he is glad to get back to cities and
people" He predicted the Alaskan
highway will be popular postwar
travel route.

Visitor "AmaZed"
At Attendance on
Farmers Day Here

Il was simply amazed at the huge
crowd of farm people here on a
cold. cloudy, muddy day." was the
statement of F. E. VanDemark of
Cut Bank, who arrived here Sat-
urday just as the Farmers Day
drawing was coming to a close.
Mr.. VanDemark said he saw the
crowd coming down the street just
after the drawing closed.
He made inquiry concerning the
plan from local business men who
are sponsors and from The Courier.
He asked for details to take back
to Cut Bank with him for explana-
ton to the business men there. He
said he was particularly struck by
the fairness of the plan and the
good it is accomplishing.

CONG. CURTIS OPENS: My IA
voring repeal of the Chinese Exclu-
sion Laws and granting them a quota
of los per year is a selfish one.
think it is the best thing for Ameri-
ca. Able military men, such as Ad-
miral Yarnell, believe repeal Will
save countless lives. If this is so, ]
want to vote for repeal. My four
years service on the Committee on
immigration and Naturalization shows
I'm not for unrestricted and unlim-
tied immigration. / would vote, to-
day, TO cut down all postwar quotas.
But this Chinese problem must not
be confused with that. The Chinese
recognize our right to limit immi-
grafton, but they object to a policy
permitting immigration of hundreds
of thousands and not n Chinese.
Exclusion of Chinese from America
is one of the most forceful arguments
the Japanese have in their drive to
break down Chinese resistance. The
Japanese propagandists keep saying,
China, wake upl America wants to
exploit you, not protect you. The
u. S. is like all white menl They
don't love the Chinese. Why, it is I'M
lawful for one Chinaman to immi-
crate into the U. S." After years and
years of war, hunger and famine,
some day such an argument will fall
on receptive ears. By repeal Of the
law we wreck this japanese propa-
gandal
CONG. BENNETT CHALLENGES:
The present Bill to repeal the Chi
nese Exclusion Laws does not put
the Chinese on an equality basis with
the White race because it restricts all
Chinese on the basis of race whereas
European quotas are based on ndtiU-
ity. Thus, an Englishman, born N
South America, may enter the United
States as a non-quota immigrant
whereas, under this Bill, a Chinese,
born in South America, must come
under the Chinese quota. Therefore,
the Japanese can still say that this
Bill is Just a sop to the Chinese be-
cause it doesn't give them equality
with the Whites as commended by the
proponents of this legislation.
CONG. CURTIS REPLIES: Mr..
Bennett, in his challenge, apparently
contends that the Bill to repeal the
Chinese Exclusion Law does not go
far enough. Would he favor 1t II 1t
went farther? Information from re-
liable sources is that the Chinese
Government is satisfied with the Bill.
Mr.. Bennett does not refute the con-
tention that the repeal of the CHI
nese Exclusion Law will help Amer
lea win the war and will save lives
Admiral Yarnell said, Its my CON
viction that the repeal Of these la "s
will have ~far-reaching effects as q
war and as a postwar measure"
