1t is claimed that the use of the river
is wasteful and that the decision of
the court prevents the state board
from carrying out the program and
authority which has been granted to
it by the state legislature. The board
has urged that the taking of jurisdic-
tion of this case by the federal court
is violation of state rights and that
the case should be dismissed for that
reason.
The board claims that the basic
and fundamental question is whether
the state of Montana shall control the
waters of the Missouri river or wheth-
err they may be controlled by the Mon
tana Power company for its private
benefit.
This case furnishes a perfect exam
pie of the injury which is done to
the people of the state by reason Of
the fact that most of the important
daily newspapers of the state are
owned and controlled by the Montana
Power company or its associates. For
this reason the people of the state
have been denied the information as
to the Importance and seriousness of
this case and to which they are en-
titled. 1t may be that all of the fu-
ture development of the Missouri riv-
er for irrigation is dependent upon
the outcome of this law suit.
At the trial of the case some
strange facts developed. The power
company in its complaint claimed that
it needed all of the waters of the
Missouri river at all times. By its
own testimony, its official records, it
proved that on the day the complaint
was filed about one-half of the waters
of the river were being passed by its
several electric plants without it be-
ing put to any useful benefit. In
other words one-half of the water in
the Missouri river at it's plants was
being spilled or wasted 1t also ap1
peared at the trial by the company's
record that about one-third of the tot
al flow of the waters of the river
were being annually spilled by its
plants without being put to any use
whatever
The board also asserted in this case

CZECH0SL L0VAKIA TO
RESTORE ITS C0-0PS

NEW YORK. Restoration of the
co-operatives in Czechoslovakia will
be an immediate first step of the
Czechoslovak government in exile at
the close of the war, Jan Masaryk,
foreign minister of the Czechoslovak
republic, said in an interview with the
Cooperative League News Service
this week
Restoration of the co-operatives
will not only help solve the problem
Of relief and reconstruction but it
will give the people a feeling of self
conference.-the self-confidence Hitler
has been trying for ten years to des-
troy" the Czechoslovak statesman de-
clared.
He told how representatives of both
agricultural and urban co-operatives
are in London at the present time
making plans for the restoration of
the co-operatives. Both cooperative
and government leaders are working
with the co-operatives in Great Brit
ain on practical immediate programs
for cooperative reconstruction.

IENTRAPMENT
TO BE STOPPED
BY OPA AGENTS

| WASHINGTON.-S James E
Murray of Montana received assur
ance today from Price Administrator
| Chester Bowles of the intention of the
latter to investigate and stamp out in
Montana, or wherever else it is found
| to exist, the practice of "entrapment'
as a means of gathering evidence to
use in the prosecution of infractions
of OPA regulations.
Complaints from Montana have in
dicated that agents of the OPA at
many places in the state have re-
sorted to various devices to inveigle
businessmen, especially owners and
workers in gas stations, into technical
or real violations of the regulations.
These agencies, it is alleged, frequent
ly have driven into gas stations and
rendered invalid coupons in payment
for gas. These coupons later can be
used as evidence.
1--WE have issued very explicit in
structions to our enforcement people
on this whole subject of 'entrapment
and it is definitely against our policy
to gather evidence in that way" Mr.
Bowles advised Senator Murray. He
informed the senator that an imme-
diate investigation will take place in
Montana He explained that the
scope of the field organization of the
OPA is necessarily large, and that the
organization "is pretty much under
manned at present" and, in addition,
has more than 100000 volunteer work
ers.
mo matter how careful we may be
or how explicit our instructions, said

| Water Users Association and
the Water Conservation Board
will have a far-reaching effect.
1t will, in effect, determine
whether in the courts opinion,
the Montana Power company
is entitled to monopoly control
of the waters of the state or
if the state still retains sover-
eign powers over its water re-
sources.
The action was instituted by the
Montana Power company in federal
court in Montana on May 23, 1889.
The action was brought to prevent
the Water Board from constructing or
operating the Missouri
project near Townsend and to estab-
lish the rights of the Power company
and limit the rights of the state board
in the use of water of the Missouri
river Judgment was entered in favor
of the power company in the federal
district court on October 2, 1912.
In the meantime the State Water
Conservation Board had constructed
the Broadwater-Mi Missouri project and
it was in successful operation at the
time of the trial of the case. The
State Water Conservation Board has
appealed the case to the Circuit Court
of Appeals of the United States in
San Francisco. The case was argued
in that court on October 28, 1943, and
a decision may be looked for in the
near future.
1t is contended by the state board
that the rights to the waters of the
Missouri river which were granted to
the power company by the federal
district court are excessive and ex-
and grant to the power
a substantial control and
of the waters of the Mis-
souri, river 1t is also claimed that
the judgment in this case will prevent
the farmers in Broadwater county
from having sufficient water to ma
ture their crops and that no farmer
can safely plant a crop because he is
at the mercy of the power
which may at any time de-
prive him of water which he needs.

CRIPPLED
CHILDREN'S
CLINICS

Fall clinics for crippled children OF
Montana will be held as usual by
the division of Services for Crippled
Children of the Motnana State Board
of Health. Every measure is under
taken to discover, diagnose and treat
the condition and see that the treat
ment recommended is followed
through to it's conclusion.
Eleven clinics will be held through
out the state this fall Specially
qualified medical and nursing person
mel is in attendance at these clinics.
1t is believed that this type of service
is especially valuable now since diff
culties and restriction concerning
travel, plus depletion of medical spe-
cialists in the field of orthopedics,
make Individual consultations harder
to arrange.
DR.. Thomas M. Leonard, director
of the Crippled Childrens division
personally directs the clinics and ex-
amines patients to determine the gem
eral physical condition and detect any
organic defects, in addition to the ex-
animation given by the orthopedist.
Any person under 21 years of age,
suffering from a Gripping condition
is eligible for examination, but only
those who are in economic distress
are eligible for hospital care under
this service. Persons attending for
the first time should be referred by
their family physician, who should re-
port his findings of the physical ex-
animation to the orthopedist in
charge. Some patients need only SUI
pervision and direction by the ortho-
pedic nurses, who work under the di-
rection of the orthopedist and give SUI
pervision in exercises and treatments.
Public Health Nurses will be in
charge of the clinics Appointments
for examinations at the clinic should
be made previously with Dr. r. ].

Wives of Navy enlisted men, mid

flee of naval officer procurement, Az
Power Block, Helena, announced to
day, opening the way for many WON

Women whose husbands are com.
missioned officers in the Navy of the
rank of Ensign or above are still In
eligible, however, although WAVES
may marry naval officers after their
enlistment Wives of army, marine
corps or coast guard officers may
still join the WAVES.
Promotion of WAVE officers was
also made easier through the aboli-
tion of the percentage system which
has kept the majority of women in
the rank of Ensign. They may be ad-
vanced to lieutenants, both junior and
senior guard, and the services high
est rank will henceforth be Captain
instead of Lieutenant Commander.
WAVES will also receive the same
allowances for dependents that Navy
men get, according to another con-
gressional amendment of the law
which created the women's reserve.
Age limits remain unchanged Wom-
en- between 20 and SO are eligible for
the WAVES, with educational require
menps varying from two years of
high school for enlistees to a college
degree or two years of college with at
least two years of business expert

|M0NT. PAPERS
NOT PARTY BUT
CORP. ORGANS

WASHINGTON by press
dispatches that the Montana Record
Herald and the Helena Independent,
both of the capital city of Montana,
were being consolidated, Sen. James
E. Murray here today expressed the
opinion that his recent expose of Ana
conda Mining Company control of
Montana newspapers has forced the
merger. In a statement in defense of
the independent country press before
the banking and currency committee
recently, Senator Murray charged
that daily newspapers in Montana are
owned and operated by the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company in the cities
of Helena, Billings, Butte, Livingston
and Missoula. All of these papers,
the senator charged, are operated un-
derpolicies drawn up in the New York
offices of the Anaconda Company
which are retarding the development
and the growth of the state of Mon
tana. He further charged that the
papers are being operatedib by the min
ing concern solely to control the pol
icies of the state, and that they ruth
lessly color, distort and censor the
news that comes to them over the
wires or is gathered by their own re-
porters, in accordance with the cor
poration's wishes.
'The Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany has been operating these papers
at tremendous losses to the stock
holders of the company for many
years for the sole purpose of dictat-
ing the politics of Montana and to
guide the exploitation of the state,
Senator Murray said. CAS- a result
of this control of Montana, exercised
through these newspapers, the state
has been steadily losing population,
and industrial development has been
blocked. This company is interested
only in exploiting Montana as a
source of raw materials, and as a re-
suit, the population of the state de-
creases as the raw materials are con-
sumed
my statement before the banking
and currency committee of the United
States senate apparently has served
notice upon this corporation that it's
abject control of Montana politics has
been challenged. No state can de-
velop properly with controlled and
corporation press. | have

The survey completes the list of 80
different kinds of commodities han
died, running all the way from petro-
leum products and food supplies to
caskets and funeral supplies. More
than 80 different types of services
from auto repair and laundry service
to print and publishing are included.
The data contained in the report in
dicates the possibilities of expansion
into numerous lines now carried by
only a small proportion of the asso-
Citations. These might well include
clothing, shoes, dry goods, household
supplies, etc., Dr. Hinrichs observes.
Among the more unusual supplies
handled, at least by small number
of associations, were religious films.
cosmetics, luggage, trucks and funeral
supplies.
A great deal of new and rapidly
growing interest in recreational facil-
tiles is manifest by the local co-opera-
tives who submitted information as
the basis of the report. The recrea-
ton facilities run all the way from
local play co-ops to special training
schools for recreation leaders, folk
dances, amateur theatricals, craft
work, etc. Most ambitious in the rec
reation line is the ownership of a
launch, meeting halls, club houses,

farm WORKERS
AVAILABLE
I'm SOUTH

| A program to secure jobs for sc, ,00t
seasonal workers now unemployed OF
midsouthern farms was announced to
day following the close of the 10tf
annual convention of the Southern
Tenant Farmers Union here in Mem
phis, November 10th.
According to H. L. Mitchell, presi
Union, officials representing the Wal
Manpower Commission, War Food
Administration and the U. S. Exten
sion Service participated in a round
table discussion with the delegates
attending the convention and indi
Gated that their agencies would make
every effort to use available southern
manpower on farms of other areas
as well as in food processing and pulI
wood industries.
Mitchell said the first group of LIE
unemployed members of the union
will leave here Wednesday to take
jobs in food processing plants in New
Jersey where they will work until
time for planting the cotton crops
next March, He continued by saying
that this first group of workers will
be transferred temporarily to the
Meat and Cannery Workers Union,
Local 56, Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of America af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor The union expects to send
many workers out to areas such as
Florida and California during the next
four months.
The 10th annual convention of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union held
in Memphis, November $40 was at
tended by 152 delegates from the
states of Arkansas, Alabama, Mis-
souri,, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas,
Oklahoma and New Mexico. Among
the subjects discussed by the dele
gates was plan for the rural south
in the post war world. A program
was adopted which calls for the
breaking up of large scale farms and
farmers. Congress was urged to en-
act farm ownership law that would
permit purchase of farms with down
payment of $50 on the purchase price
and the balance on 25 year terms at
low interest rates similar to the Fed
eral Housing Act.
H. L. Mitchell, secretary since the
beginning of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union, was elected president
replacing Roy E. Raley who has ac-
cepted a position with the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Firemen and
Oilers, AFL. Raley, however, re-
mains a member of the executive
council which includes the following:

WINTER DRIVING
CAUTIONS Are
REC0MME Tended

Gen. Charles L. Sheridan, super
visor, of the Montana Highway Patrol
today warned essential drivers, par
ticularly war workers and those en-
gagged in vital civilian service, to get
prepared now for safe winter driving
The following recommendations are
made: First, city and county highway
departments are advised to repair
snow removal machines since new
ones are hard to get, and to attempt
to forestall labor shortage for snow
clearance work
Second, Truck fleets and individual
car owners must take immediate
steps for their own protection this
winter. This means checking condi-
tion of defroster units, anti-skid
chains, heaters, windshield wipers
and anti-freeze. Such necessary win
ter equipment must be repaired or re-
placed now, particularly for essential
vehicles which should be enabled to
get through safely and on time during
snow and ice conditions.
Newly completed research revealed
that slides and glides in SO snow-belt
states last winter ran the mileage
death rate up "a per cent higher than
the summer rate in that area, while
the mild southern winter caused an
increase of 5 per cent in those states
below the Mason-Dixon line, Sheridan
said. Previous council studies proved
that inadequate traction and reduced
visibility are the primary hazards of
winter driving
