Canada is going to need MORE Montana oil
in 1913 than it received in 1912. The Idaho

Montana oil this year than last because they
are establishing broader, permanent markets

continue to grow, if Montana can provide
the oil.
With higher prices for crude, there is every
incentive for operators to try to supply the
growing demand not only of Montana re-
fineries but Of the outside market Where is
it possible to find that additional oil?
In the Rice-FuItOn pool? Certainly not.
Neither win it be found in the other de-

Bank area with its three structural moses
and the wide undeveIoped areas of Kelvin

List, the 149 named or the list OF
critical occupations are those most
urgently needed in war industry

and that they also require lengthy
training and considerable expe-
rience. For these reasons, local
boards are instructed to give par
ticular and grave consideration to
the deferrnent of registrants hav-
ing these critically needed skills
provided they are engaged in war
production or in support of the
war effort. However, any regis
trant qualified for an occupation
on the critical list who is not
engaged in an essential activity

considered for occupational de-
ferment.
Q. What are the chances for
occupational deferment of regis
trants whose jobs are included on
the list of essential activities and

critical occupations?
A. The basis for all occupa-
tional deferment is that the regis
trant must be a necessary man.

4 Review Of
under Cover
BY FORREST Y

Written by John Ray Carlson,
this book may we'll serve as a
warning to the nation that Ease
ism has by no means disappeared
in these United States, but stands
ready to plunge a knife into the
back of our democracy. Carlson's
revelations are shocking. For
more than four years he posed as
an ardent Fascist adopting a fic-
titious name, and gathering a
string of proof that will astound
every reader. He mentions names
that would quickly have him
placed behind the bars of a peni-
tertiary if there were not truth in
his statements.
Men such as Senators Nye,
Wheeler, Reynolds, Taft, and Rep
resentatives Ham Fish, Hoffman,
Dewey, and many others r Of
ten the organizational guide of
Fascist groups, Carlson shows. He
has scores of photostatic copies of
letters that he received while
posing as an adnirer of the Fas-
cist party, among them a letter
from Parker Sage, now under ar
rest on charges by the federal
government.
All is not gold that glitters, and
in the book, "Under Cover" a
splendid service has been rendered
by the exposing of the long range
plans that lie behind Hitler's de-
termination for world domination.
Under Cover" should get wide
spread circulation, and in the
opinion of the writer, we urge
everyone possible to read this
book.

Questions
And Answers


Questions and answers on the
changes in the selective service
rules was issued by the War
Manpower Commission recently
as follows:
Q. What are the main purposes
of the War Manpower Commits
sion's recently announced plan
for the utilization of manpower?
A. 1t is a plan to hold essential
workers on war-useful jobs If
that is where they are now m
pIoyed. to assure the transfer of
workers to jobs aiding in the var
effort and to supply men needed
for the armed forces without cut
ting war production.
Q. What was behind the prepar-
alton of the plan?
A. Production of war materials
must be stepped up and our armed
forces must have the men they
need. Care must be taken to
make certain that every man is
used on the right job, whether it
is i'm production or in the army
or navy.
@. What are the main features
of the program?
A. There are four principal steps:
Cd Establishment of a list of crit
ical occupations, covering skills
urgently needed i'm the war effort.
(2) Instructions to Selective Serv-
ice Boards to give greater con-
sideration than ever before to
oc%cupational deferment. 60 Es-
Enlistment of new standards for
permitting the transfer of civilian
workers from job to job. a. Ex-
tension of the list of non defer
rable activities and occupations
providing that all men of military
age must transfer from such jobs
or be placed first in the list for
induction by local boards.
@. How will the new list of
critical occupations and the addi-
tons to the list of nondeferrable
activities and occupations affect
the drafting of fathers?
A. Fathers who are in monde
ferrabIe activities or occupations,
regardless of their order numbers.
Fathers who transfer to essential
occupations and thus release single
men who are otherwise eligible
for military service also help to
decrease the need for drafting
fathers.
@. After October l, will the oc-
cupation of a registrant otherwise
qualified for military service be
the main factor in determining
whether he will be indicted or
deferred if his order number is
called?
A. Generally speaking, yes.
In the cases of men with depend
ents, the question of hardship to
dependents must always be given
grave consideration. But as a
general proposition, when a reg
istrant is being considered for la
classification after October /, the
main question will be whether he
can serve his country better In
the armed forces or in war pro-
duction and support of the war
effort.

GRAPE VINE

BY MARY LU CON

The anti-Administration mis-
leadership in Congress was
again brought to the forefront
recently, and the legislation re-
ferred to appertains to veterans
legislation.
Last week the Chief Execu-
tive sent a message to Congress
asking immediate legislation as
surfing to veterans of the pres
ent war, mustering-out pay and
unemployment benefits.
Regardless of the Presidents
attitude on this vital legislation,
members of Congress, especially
anti Administration leaders,
have been kicking around this
legislation for some time.
In October, 1912. Representative
Walter c. Ploeser. Missouri, intro
duced a bill that would guarantee
assistance by the government to
all disabled veterans in the time oil
transition from military to civilian
life. On several occasions, Repre-
sentative Ploeser has asked the
chairman of the Military Affairs
Committee, to which this legisla-
ton was referred for action. to
bring in a recommendation, but the
chairman stated that the commit
tee had more important legislation
to consider.
DISABLED veterans returning
home and discharged from serv-
Ice without any visible means Of
support can wait for legislative
action that would make provi-
sion for their taking up civilian
status without resorting to SELL
ing pencils or knick-knacks to

As Il is, il takes upwards Of six
months to push the case Of dis
abled veteran through the Veter-
ans Administration for adjustment.
The time intervening between the
soldiers or sailors discharge for
disability is the time that needs
some sort Of adjustment immedi-
ately. 1t is this intervening time
that Mr.. Ploeser's bill will provide
for.
