Commission authorities in all of the

Montana. Critical shortages CT
from $50 to 300 men in timber work
in this area has been reported by
the Kalispell office of the United
States Employment Service, accord
ing to its manager. Charles H.
Draper
Should western regional efforts
fail to provide the needed mep, it
is said, the commission will request
release of experienced and quail
fled men from the armed service to
fill the gaps. Reports indicate a
shortage in virtually every saWmill,
tie-mill and logging camp in the
counties of Flathead and Lincoln,
where 40 such outfits are operating
Woods and lumber work, it is
pointed out, requires husky men,
able to withstand vigorous exertion
and prolonged muscular strains.
The timber products are vital to
the war effort and production IN
that line has been rated as critical
factor in the war program since
early in September, 1912, when the
available lumber supply first fell to
bare requirements.
Bottleneck in the lumber game is
in the woods. Fallers and choker-
settlers are needed all through the
district. Next In critical shortage
are the lumber pulIers, lumber han
oilers and tie handlers, all jobs re-
quiring the highest type of physical
strength and exercise.
Should the army authorities agree
to release men from the uniform tc
perform this needed work at home
they will be assigned to plants OPP
Grating at Kalispell, Somers, Col

Recruiting efforts have been di
rected for the past six months to
word relieving the constantly in
creasing pressure for workers in tn,
timber occupations. Clearance or
ders have been circulated through
u S Employment Service channel
in all western states, workers i
non-essential industries have beer
urged to transfer to lumber-produc
ing work and local sources of la
Dor have been searched again AM

there seems to be no promising
source other than recall of men VIII

Ship Cub Beer
From Libby For
Army Mascot

Deputy Game Warden Ellingwood
recently took from man in Eu-
reka a small bear cub and on Tues
day shipped it to Red Lodge. The
cub was only about two months old.
After the cub has passed through
the examinations required by law,
it is planned to ship it to an army
camp where it will become mas
cot for some soldier organization.
It is said the little fellow will
first require a great deal of tanning,
as he was pretty wild and full Of

Hungary Described
As Eager 10 Avoid
Any Further Fighting
BY the Associated Press

BY The Associated Press
BERN, July 21.-zNazi pressure Is
keeping Hungary half way on the
job for the Axis despite the Hun
garian governments effort to fol-
low its new policy of nonbelliger-
| ency until the end of the war, Bal
kan quarters said today.
While Hungarian combat troops
were withdrawn from the eastern
| front last winter after heavy losses.
other Hungarian units still are
maintaining guard along railways
stretching from the frontier into
Poland and toward the east. and to
some degree into Yugoslavia.
Communiques published in the
press of occupied eastern areas
sometimes speak also of Hungarian
parachute units, but these ap-
parently are small in number.
The railway guards are armed
but are not officially regular army
groups. The parachutists apparently
are volunteers, thus permitting Pre-
mier Nicholas Kallay to state that
having brought back the regular
combat units of the army from the
east, the nation had become nom
belligerent.
To make this policy more nearly
complete. efforts have been made to
win release from the guarding task
but without success. Nevertheless,
Hungarian quarters say the gov
ernment is taking what steps it can
to keep away from any actual fight
ing.
The press is being permitted to
speak more freely of the critical sit
uation confronting the Axis, and in
creased purchase of newspapers
from neutral countries has been
ordered recently to give the people
better chance of getting news from
the Allied side
A good many Jews still hold jobs.
Some others are in labor camps,
however, and the government policy
still is officially anti-Semitic but
with moderation in execution.

believe that Hungary would get
completely out of the war tomorrow
If she could. but that she feels her
self helpless to do anything at the
moment.
These observers believe invasion
OF the Balkans or collapse of Italy
would encourage more direct Hun
garian action to get out of the war.
With due regard for the changing
tides of the conflict, the policy con-
tinues to be one of going as slowly as
possible and waiting for the end.
