BY A LIVINGSTONIAN

| The attempt of the Northern Pa
cific Railway company to move a
crossing at the east end of Livings
ton, two thousand feet in order to
save the expense of keeping a watch
man at the crossing, is now before
the court in Park county.
The County Commissioners took
steps to comply with the request of
the railway officials to move the
crossing, but could not get a right
of-way through small farm and have
commenced condemnation proceed
ings to secure right-of-way, thereby,
forcing poor man and good citi-
zen to the expense of defending him
self in court.
The railway officials claim that the
present crossing is very dangerous,
which is true, as a number of fatal
accidents have taken place at this
crossing-but the proposed new cross
ing will be as bad as the present
crossing, if not more hazardous, as
it will be within two hundred and
fifty yards from the railroad bridge
which crosses the Yellowstone river,
and over which passenger trains cross
at speed of 40 miles an hour, west
ward bound and will be invisible to
travellers approaching the crossing
from the north. The hazard of the
present crossing can be eliminated by
an overhead pass at the present
crossing.
The moving of the crossing to the
proposed new site will work hard
ship on the residents of the north
side of Livingston and will in all like
lihood reduce the value of property
in that part of the city. Many of the
people who live in the part of the
city affected, are round-house and
shop employees of the railway and
if they make a complaint against
the moving of the crossing, they will
be marked men, as the
railway company has black listed
many good men in the past.
Railroad officials in solving prob
lens confronting them, give little or
no consideration to the interest of the
general public, or to the hardships
that may be inflicted upon the people
of community in the solving of their
problems.
The traditional policy pursued by
the railroad magnates and officials
the land is:
Get what we go after, and the
public be damned"
The County Commissioners and
City Council could have secured an
overhead pass over the crossing con-
by federal funds, had they
gone the right way about it, instead

POSTWAR Plan
OFFERED BY
STATE BOARD

The Montana Planning Board ha.
outlined postwar construction plar
which is designed to provide large
employment possibilities during thai
period. The plan involves highway
construction, irrigation of semi-arid
lands, rural electrification projects
and new buildings at the educational
and custodial institutions and a vet
erans' and pioneers memorial build
ing on the capitol grounds
The public building program
planned involves cost of about ST.
100000. The highway department has
a construction program costing $780,
100000 yearly for the first three years
of the postwar period, with road work
costing an estimated $7,4O0,000 ready
to be started Immediately when the
war ends. The program would be fl
nanced comparatively by the federal
and state governments, and will con-
sist largely of rehabilitation and COM
pletion of the states primary road
system and farm-to-market road build
ing.
The Montana Water Conservation
Boards plans contemplate extension
of existing irrigation facilities to an
additional 1880 acres and the con-
struction of new projects to irrigate
311,0OO acres. The board has sub
mitted plans to the federal govern
ment for the irrigation of 100000
acres by the construction of 3S addi-
tional projects. 1t has also prepared
plans for $500 miles of rural electrifi-
cation lines, estimated to cost S3,4OO,-
600.

court before Judge Thomas j
Hartigan for the past two
weeks. Together with the cor
poration, the following are
named in the action: William
H. Morley, former manager of
the Pawtucket plant and now
assistant manager of the firm ;
Jacob Engleson, former plant
superintendent; Lowell K.
Morrow, chief Inspector of the
Pawtucket mill; William Eag-
Lesson, superintendent of the
eectric testing room and Rob-
ert L. Wright, chief engineer
who has pleaded guilty.
Evidence given by 6nspector Nor
row indicates that the Anaconda Off
cials knew in advance that the com
pany lacked the equipment to produce
the wire under the stringent govern
ment specifications, which called for
wire for use in front line communica-
tions and designed to be used in all
varieties of terrain and under temper
atures varying from 40 below zero to
130 in the shade. Morris testified
that he had told the officials that
the plant could not produce the wire
required but apparently all the Off
cials were interested in was to get the
contract and were prepared to delib-
erately get the wire past U. S. inspec-
ton by any and all means.
Engineer Wright who has pleaded
guilty confessed to designing an in
tricate vacuum-tube device which was
hidden in an adjoining room and con-
nected with concealed wiring to the
testing machinery, and that this gadg-
ct operated so as to make faulty in
sulation appear effective.
However, easier methods of getting
defective wire past inspection were
found by the officials according to
the government charges. All testing

ing to the charges was to remove the
red tags from defective reels and sub
stituting yellow OK tags. Another
method was to plant good wire in the
testing room when the government
inspectors were expected.

in the Army, in his testimony de-
scribed another system used in get

TIGHTENING UP ON
NON-FATHERS

Local Selective Service Boards are
tightening up on non-fathers, lessen
ing the number of agricultural and
occupational deferments for them and
at the same time increasing the num-
Der of these deferments for pre-Pearl
Harbor fathers, it was revealed by a
comparison of local board reports for
October / and December 1 by Selec-
tive Service national headquarters.
Total deferments in agriculture, De-
cember 1, were 1,606,661 of which
692,252 were fathers. This was an
increase of 1854 agriculturally de-
ferred fathers between October 1 and
December l. Selective Service fig
ures it will be required to furnish be-
tween 100000 and 100000 men to
the armed forces between December 1
and July II Thus providing 100000
to 100000 requirements and bringing
total strength of all forces, including
WAVES and WACS, to 11,300,000.
During October and November, an
estimated 100000 men were reclassi-
fled out of IV-F for re-examination by
the armed forces.
ADDRESS RATION BOOKS
Hundreds of lost ration books
dropped in the mails by the finders
are being sent to the Dead Letter Of

failed to fill in their addresses on the
covers, according to OPA. Every
holder of a ration book should make
certain that his current address is
plainly written in the space provided
for that purpose on the cover.

intended to protect farmers from pre-
vailing heavy discounts for hogs
weighing over 27O pounds. The Hog

PUBLIC WANTS ALARM CLOCKS
What are some of the shortages

| Nearly 5000 persons throughout the
country were asked this question, in
a recent survey of consumer require
ments made by the Office of Civilian
Requirements. The most serious in
convenience and hardship is caused
by the shortage of alarm clocks, al
though shortage of food affects the
greatest number-followed in order of
numbers by elastic, galvanized ware,
some textile products, and alarm
clocks. Most of the needs brought
out by this survey can and will be
