Says Inmates
Not Given
Enough Food
by David Loehwing

United Press Staff Correspondent
HELENA--UP)-The 28th bien-
tnial session of the Montana legis-
lative assembly was drawing to a
close this week, minus the usual
rush to complete action on irnpor-
tant bills which has characterized
most past legislative sessions.
A few important bills remained
to be acted upon in the senate at
the end of last week, including the
proposed financial code of l943,"
two gambling bills and numerous
appropriations.
Two other emergency" bills, in
troduced under suspended rules last
week, were also pending.
One would give the state liquor
control board power to close tav-
erns in military areas at midnight,
the other seeks to alleviate 'starva-
ton" conditions at the Montana
State Hospital
The liquor bill, sponsored by
Senators w. ]. Kelley, r., Powell,
and John L. Campbell, r., Missoula,
was approved by the senate by a
vote of A to 3. Senators George
Fowlie, ST., D., Meagher; E. J..
Strommes, D., Cascade, and c. H.
Minette, D., Glacier, voted against
| it.
Under terms of the bill, the liq-
uor board would be empowered to
enforce the closing of all taverns
within 25znile radius of any mil
itary installation from midnight to
a. m. for the duration of the war
and six months thereafter.
A joint committee appointed to
investigate conditions at the Warm
Springs institution reported that
patients at the hospital do not get
sufficient food, due to "niggardly"
appropriations by the legislature
and because the land on which the
hospital is situated is too poor to
enable it to raise food crops.
The bill introduced in the house
by Reps. r. G. Dillavou, r., Yell
lowstone, and John Oliver, r., Car
ter would authorize the state board
of examiners to lease lands where
food for the institution could be
grown.
The bill carries a $4,000 appro-
priation.
Proponents of increased pensions
for Montana's $500 teachers sue
ceeded in breaking the iron grip OF
the appropriations committee Of the
house on monetary measures.
After prolonged fight, the pro-
teacher succeeded by a margin OF
two votes in getting through an al
location of $150,000 for the teacher
retirement fund, $4,000 above the
amount allocated for each year Of
the next biennium by the APP
preparations committee. The teach
ers had asked 100000.
A bill calling for submission .te
the voters at the next general cleo
ton of constitutional amendment
which would allow for apportion-
ment of school funds on an average
daily attendance basis rather thar
through the present school censu:
system was passed and sent to The
governor.
Also passed by both houses wa.
another proposed constitutional
amendment to set four years as tht
term Of office for all elective coun
ty officials. The measure encoun-
tered strong opposition due to tht
fact it was strikingly similar to ;
proposal voted down by heav,

Mrs. C. w. Gildea is chairman
of the War Fund drive for this
chapter. She asks all who will vol

The South Lincoln County quota
for the American Red Cross War
Fund has been announced as S2,850.
We will raise this quota here we are
certain. The J. Neils Lumber Com
pany has started the campaign with
a gift of $3.50.
President Roosevelt has desis-
mated March as the Red Cross"
month. During March the American
Red Cross War Fund appeal will be
conducted throughout the nation.
Hundreds of volunteer workers IN
cities, town, and crossroads ham,
lets will offer every American an
opportunity to contribute to the
Red Cross and its work.
In peacetime many persons have
been satisfied to become members
of the Red Cross by subscribing the
minimum membership of one dol
lar Surely this year, few of us
will be content to make such con-
tribution. Global war, which las
made necessary the dispatch of
dozen A. E. F.'s to the far corners
of the world, has multiplied many
fold the work of our American Red
Cross.
Wherever United States fighting
men 60, there, also, the Red Cross

We sincerely believe that if the
public realized the extent of the
job being done by the Red Cross, it
would not need to be asked for a
contribution to this worthy cause.
The greatest selling point for the
Red Cross is the work it does.
Today the American Red Cross is
the only non-military organization
operating within military and naval
reservations. 1t is the liaison be-
tween the people and the soldiers
who fight to defend them.
Here are only a few of the things
that the Red Cross is doing for the
soldier who may be your husband,
your son, or your neighbor:
At home and on foreign soil, Red
Cross field directors are ever pres
ent offering friendly counsel and
assistance to service men in per-
sonal and family problems. For

forces, Red Cross overseas clubs

provided recreation for fighting
men convalescing from sickness
and the wounds of battle. Red Cross
volunteers by the millions have
produced surgical dressings by the
tens of millions for our soldiers.
In the form of food and medical
supplies, the Red Cross has brought
hope and succor to the victims Of
war and to our Allies. Wherever
disaster has struck within our own
boundaries, it has extended its as
sistance, always without being
asked to do so.
And that is why the Red Cross
is worthy of your larger contribu-
ton in this second year of war.
Volunteers will call for your do
nations on the 18th of March.

Guffey Says People
Want Fourth Term
Walker. BiddIe Also Speak
At Philadelphia Dinner

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 3O.-Sen-
ator Guffey, Democrat, OF Pennsyl-
vania declared last night that
Everybody knows-even the opposi-
tion knows-that if the war is still
raging in 1914 the American people
will renominate and re-elect" Presi-
dent Roosevelt to fourth term.
1T would be an unmitigated catas-
trophe to America and to the United
Nations and to the world If there
were to be a change of administra-
ton next year" the Senator said in
an address at a Jefferson Day
dinner.
Postmaster General Walker, At
torney General Biddle and Senator
Tunnel of Delaware also spoke at
the affair, for which more than 1000
reservations were made at $25
plate.
Senator Guffey said Democrats
had kept an agreement to adjourn
politics as usual" for the duration,
but added that "some OF our op-
ponerts have not, as evidenced by
the recent attempt OF the Repub-
lican national chairman to play
presidential politics with Democratic
National Chairman Walkers sugges-
ton that in 1914 we should have q
short political campaign"
National Chairman (Harrison)
Spangler is greatly worried about
having short campaign" Senator
Guffey said. "If, as he says, Mr..
Roosevelt is already named and
agreed on, why Is he worried about
that?
IF we are going to have = period
of good will and negotiations, he
wants us to withdraw, Mr.. Roose-
welt. Why doesn't he eliminate Gov.
Bricker, Wendell Willkie, Dewey,
Taft and Stassen? In other words,
he viii agree to short campaign
II he can name our candidate.
This, OF course, goes along with
the two -pronged war being waged In
the Nation. Part Of Us are out to
beat the Axis, the others are out to
beat President Roosevelt."
