NOTHING we have written in
IN more than twenty years, has
- caused more comment than our
contribution on the "Sunburst poker
game last week. The 0ld-timers
enjoyed it, for many of them re-
called the story of the Sunburst
town "poker fund" which sum of
three dollars the stranger won and
carried away. Many Independent
operators expressed approval of the
idea that Montana is indeed for
tunate to have new entrants and,
resultantly, to have some new tar
gets for professional knife-throwers
who have been stabbing at their
neighbors, struggling producers and
refiners who are less able to de-
fend themselves than the new
corners.
Also pleased were owners of
proven but undeveloped oil fields,
whose properties were pointed out
as the place where there is plenty
Of opportunity with far less risk
than is involved by the new cam
paign now in progress
The campaign now in progress is
the mid-continent type of leasing:
a blanket leasing of a given area of
from 10000 to 100000 acres. The
leases are taken without regard to
structure. The plan as we under
stand it is to complete the lease
block and then turn geological and
geOphysieal crews to work in the
area. Wherever a favorable struc-
ture is found, a well will doubtless
be drilled The object is to find
Oil-and that quickly, and not to tie
up vast areas for the next ten
years.
There has been no announcement
but we believe t h at at least
TWENTY wildcat wells will be
drilled in Montana this year. His
tory teaches that one out of every
10 wildcat wells finds oil. With
modern methods, utilizing geophy-
sizes, this ratio should be one out
of five. That means there are pros
poets for FOUR new oil fields in
Montana during the present year
Is there anyone who reads these
lines who does not know what the
finding ct ONE oil field means
It is unnecessary to point out that
the finding of ANY new oil field
by a major operator means tins
of great opportunity for the en-
tire industry. There is an oppor
tunity for every drilling contractor
every producer, every trucker, every
store keeper, every royalty investor
every lease trader and every othe
wildcatter to cash in on the dis
covery. Anyone who has witnessed
the discovery of new oil fiel'
knows what is coming. We who ha'
witnessed the early development o

on the discovery of Pondera. An

Kelvin and Pondera come into pre-
duction were the ones who saw mos

The shooting occurred about three

tressed because he feared he would
no longer be permitted to visit the

Parr, granted permanent custody OF
the children in an interlocutoty

By the Associated Press.


Ready sliced bread is coming
back.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
rescinded today the order prohibit
ing the slicing of bread by bakers.
He said its disadvantages outweigh
it's advantages. Bakers may slice
bread and rolls for home use as we'll
as for restaurants. hotels. institu-
tions and commissaries.
The prohibition went into effect
January l8.
1t was designed to save wax paper
and keep down the cost of bread BY
reducing the quantity OF wrapping
paper needed. Since then, Mr.
Wickard said, increasing difficulties
have been reported by restaurants
and similar mass eating centers In
obtaining equipment and labor for
slicing bread and rolls.
Mr. Wickard said he was con-
vinced the prohibition worked un-
due hardships on mass feeding CEN
ters and the people dependent on
them, especially workers in defense
areas.
The new order is effective imme
diately.
The original order prohibiting
bakers from selling ready SLICED
bread was described as part of "a
conservation program aimed al
holding down the retail price. TIE
order also discontinued consignment,
selling and placed restrictions or
the number OF varieties OF breac

Milk Producers
Fear Output Will.
Fall Below AZ
National Group Sees
increasing Shortage
Facing Entire Nation
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

DJ ANHASoLAu LhNlDOnNL, JE.
Despite Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard's appeal to dairy
men to produce 5000, 900 900
more pounds of milk this year
than in 1912, national produc-
tlon threatens to be several bill
lion pounds under last years
record output, Charles w. Hol-
man, secretary of the National
Cooperative Milk Producers As
sociation, predicted here today.
The dairy official. reporting for
the organization Executive Com
mittee. said that under the best
conditions" dairymen will not be able
even to duplicate the 119,412,OO0. 900
pounds of milk produced in 1912. Mr..
Wlckard, in announcing his food
for-freedom" goals at the beginning
OF 1943, asked for $4,000 900 900
pounds in 1943.
Labor and farm machinery short
ages, along with uncontrolled feed
prices and uncertain feed deliveries"
were blamed by Mr.. Holman for the
serious and increasing shortage Of
dairy products facing the Nation"
Fears Deficit in East.
This shortage will be most in
tense in the Eastern, Southern and
Pacific Coast areas" he said, warn
ing that without an immediate rec
tification of the situation" the en-
tire Eastern area of the United
States will shortly be on a deficit
basis with regard to milk supply.
Criticizing Federal price policies,
he cited specifically the freezing of
milk prices paid farmers. This price
freeze, he held, is IS cents to $1.10
per hundredweight less than it
should be in relation to a proper
price for butter.
by and large, the frozen price
levels for dairy farmers will tend to
increase shortages and will not
even maintain last years production
levels the farm official declared.
There is still time to avert a milk
crisis, Mr.. Holman said, by Govern
ment adoption of the following pro-
posals:
Minimum guaranteed prices
should be assured by the Govern
ment at points sufficiently high to
maintain present production; flexi-
BILE price ceilings should be estab-
lished at points high enough to as
sure some measure of this increase,
and between the maximum and min
imum prices there should be allowed
free play of economic forces"
Mr.. Holman, terming the farm
manpower shortage very serious, y
estimated for every 35 dairy workers
being drafted, IS other men are
leaving farms for the higher pay
and shorter hours Of industry. "A
maze Of regulations restricting the
free operation of farming also has
accentuated the trend of manpower
to the cities" he said.
Turning to the second bottleneck
in agriculture, Mr.. Holman asserted
that farm machinery is the only
possible substitute for some Of the
labor now lost from farms. For
efficient and increased production.
more-and not less-farm machinery
! should be made available during this
and the coming year." he declared.

Until Next Wednesday
BY the Associated Press,


A Senate Judiciary Subcom-
mittee today voted, 2 to /, in
favor of confirming former Gov.
James V. Alfred of Texas to the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
Chairman Hatch reported.
Although supporters of Mr.. Alfred
had confidently expected a favorable
report by the subcommittee, they are
not quite so confident about the re-
suit when the full committee votes
on the question.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico. who announced the vote,
said the full committee had de-
ferred action on the recommends
tion until next Monday.
Mr.. Allred's nomination is opposed
by Louisiana members of Congress
and Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, of

election last year.
Charges have been made, and were
denied by Mr.. Alfred before the sub

Louisiana Senators Overton and
Ellender, opposing confirmation, said
Mr. Alfred was named to succeed the
late Rufus Foster of New Orleans
and argued Louisiana should have
representation on the court because
of that States peculiar Napoleonic
code of law.
They had recommended State
Supreme Court Judge Archie T. Hig-
gins of New Orleans for the post,
and asserted Attorney General Bid
die had assured them weeks ago that
he would recommend Judge Higgins
to the President foI nomination.
Mr.. Biddle denied before the sub

mitted himself, to recommend any
one before he discussed Mr.. Alfred

To Permit Merger Of

Move for Consolidation

Communications Body
Bs the Associated Press.

6e lDe Associated Press.
Legislation to permit merger OF
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
and Postal Telegraph, contingent
on approval of consolidation plan
Of the Federal communications
Commission, was signed today by
President Roosevelt.
Postal has had financial difficult
ties for several years and owes the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. ap-
proximately 100000.
Officials OF both firms have ap-
proved the merger idea in princi-
pie, although number of problems
will have to be worked out and any
union of the companies probably
will require several months.
Under restriction imposed by
Congress, all those employed by the
companies before March l, 1941,
must be retained for four years
after merger is approved, with the
exception of those making more
than $4,000.
AFL and CIO union officials op-
posed the merger legislation and
had asked for a seven-year reten-
ton of employees if Congress enacted
the measure.
Persons hired after March l, 1941
would be granted four weeks sew
erance pay for each year worked
prior TO consolidation.
A. A. Williams, Western Union
president, has said the restrictions
on dismissing workers might threat
en- the solvency of his firm. He
estimated last July that Western
