Today through radio and new re-
cording devices, the sound and fury
of battles are beamed thousands of
miles across the oceans into millions
of living rooms. And why is the
realism of battle being brought into
every home? Lieut.. Gen. Jacob
Devers put it this way: 1T is stra.
logically advisable because never
before has the civilian population
been so directly involved" General
Devers made his statement on the
occasion of the first use Of the Ar
mour magnetic wire recorder
aboard a bomber for broadcasting
Now these recorders are being
dispatched to all fronts and are be-
ing used to make on-the-spot rec
ords of battle action of every type.
Proof of their dispatch was heard
recently when world news round
up was interrupted by the voice
of George Foster. speaking from
Bougainville in the South Pacific.
While army engineers unreeled wire
linking him to the rear, Foster
crawled to q lookout spot ahead Of

II ERE is a new idea for your
kitchen curtainS-or for sash
curtains for any room. Crisp,
sheer material such as lawn or or
candle may be used and white or
a plain light color will be most eff
fective. The curtains are hung
above eye level on, a single rod
fastened to the window sash. The
four-inch-deep scalloped hem at
the top shows through the sheer
material giving a very decorative
effect and the rings sewn to the
points of the scallops make it pos
sible to slide the curtains back
and forth on the rods.
The trick in making the seal
loped hem is in being sure that
the curved edges follow a sharp,
clean-cut line. All the steps are
shown here in the diagrams. Use
a small saucer or a large cup
for marking the scallops, and
when you turn them right side out,
pull the material out smoothly at
the points with a pin.

100000
For Postwar


Montana's highway funds will
permit financing a S7,30O,000 high
way construction program as soon
as wartime restrictions are lifted,
highway department fiscal records
show.
This amount of construction is
based on unobligated balances of
preWar appropriations and is in ad-
dition to the S5,000,000 which repre-
sents an increment of the program
planned under new federal approp-
riations for the first postwar year.
The departments auditing division
reports the department is in a posi-
ton, and has been for some time, to
finance program of road and
bridge construction of volume ex-
ceeding that actually accomplished
in any preWar year on record, i'm
mediately following authorization
from the federal war agencies.
The division emphasizes this is
true despite the fact that the state
must bear the full cost of initial
construction and must wait until
this financing is completed before
federal funds may be obtained.

Will Grant
Loans 70
Veterans

The Farm Security Administra-
ton is in a position to offer aid
to returning war veterans and other
farmers who need farm operating
loans, according to Ed Staples Of
Rexford, chairman of the county
FSA advisory committee. He said
that loans up to $500 can be made
for farm operations, including live
stock, feed, seed, machinery, fertil-
izer and cash rent, within the limits
of available funds
Applications for FSA loans should
be made with the county supervisor,
Russell E. Marsh, whose office is
located upstairs in the K. M Build
ing, Kalispell, Mont Veterans who
have a farm background either as i
tenant, owner, or farm laborer are
eligible. All applications are re-
viewed by the county committee.
FSA administers the Bankhead-
Jones Act under which eligible
farmers in designated counties may
obtain loans for the purchase Of
farms, but the appropriation was
reduced some SO per cent this year
and few loans will be made in this
state, Mr.. Staples said
He added that FSA committees
and the county supervisor are ready
and willing to assist veterans with
other problems, including tenure
and debt adjustment.

Takes Steps To
Organize Orchestra

A town the size of Libby should
have several musical organizations.
AS it is, we have various church
choirs, a number of independent
orchestras, and the band and other
musical groups at school. There is
often a need for music that is less
assertive than the band and yet of
the instrumental type. We should
have a school orchestra. The strings
give melody that has particular
fitness for plays, lectures and in
door entertainments. There are
many things" says Mr.. Skakoon,
music director, that an orchestra
can do that are not possible for a
band.
Some effort has been made to get
violin class started and Mr.. Ska
koon now is able to announce a
sufficient interest to secure a per-
manent organization. He is especial
ly anxious to have those who have
played strings at any time enroll
for the experience will help carry
the group on until the beginners can
take over. All parents and pupils
interested are asked to meet Mr.
Skakoon next Monday evening in
the band room at 800. He also wish
es to locate all idle violins, violas
and cellos that might be available
to new students

Contempt Case
Is Most
Unusual One
Supreme Court Takes
Drastic Action in Affair
Mixed With Politics.
THROWS OUT DISSENT
BY JUDGE MORRIS
BY Harry L. Carlson

United Press Staff Correspondent
HELENA WH-The galleries of
Montana's Supreme Court will be
packed to capacity Monday, Oct. %,
when one Of the most significant
and unusual hearings in the history
of the state will be conducted,
proceeding involving contempt of
court by a Montana lawyer whom
the court accuses of using its rec
ords for political purposes.
At 1000 a. m. next Monday,
George NieWoehner, youthful White
Sulphur Springs attorney, will APP
pear before the court to show cause
why he should not be adjudged in
contempt and punished accordingly
for presenting motion Of dubious
political design and of manifest
falsity' in its allegations.
A new, startling development in
the case occurred late Monday when
the court expunged from its records
the vigorous dissent filed by Justice
Morris. The order was signed by
Justices Johnson, Adair and Ander-
son and declared there can be mo
such thing as dissent to issuance Of
citations" and that the Morris pro-
test has no purpose other than to
prejudice in advance of hearing the
merits Of the contempt charge

.417,677 War
Cases
Selective Service
Enforcement Calls For
Great Volume of Work.
CONVICTIONS THUS FAR
TOTAL 1O,490

During four years Of Selective
Service enforcement work the FBI
has handled the cases of enough
men to make an army of 33 mod
ern infantry divisions.
That announcement was made to-
day by Mr. w. G. Banister, special
agent in charge of the Butte office
of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton in connection with the fourth
Selective Service anniversary.
THE Selective Training and Serv-
ice Act became law on October is,
1940," Mr.. Banister said, land the
FBIs enforcement responsibility be-
gan the moment the President af-
fixed his signature. 1t has been and
continues to be a big job, but one
which we are privileged to do as
part Of our contribution to the gen.
eral war effort"
Up to October /, 1914, the FBI
had closed 417677 Selective Service
cases In every instance, the man in
volved was made available to the
armed services or his case was dis
posed of otherwise according to
law Convictions thus far total
1O,490.
This compares with World War I.
when approximately 10000 were
prosecuted for the single offense OF
failing to register. Thus far, the
FBI has handled only 1908 cases
of failure to register. OF these, g.
1877 were found not to be willful
violators and registered immediate
ly. Only 1,240 have been convicted
of this offense
Director ]. Edgar Hoover Of the
FBI has insisted from the begin
ming that our Selective Service job
be handled with the principal idea
of making men available for sery-
ice" Mr. Banister said. When men
have become technically delinquent
because OF carelessness or for other
understandable reasons, they gen.
orally have been made available to
the armed forces without stigma
Those guilty of deliberate and ag-
gravated evasion have been prose-
cuted'
In an Alabama case closed recent
| ly, a young man took to the woods
rather than register. He was caught
in August of this year and admitted
he had been hiding out to avoid the
draft While awaiting prosecutive
action, he decided that he preferred
military life, but the court observed
that he had missed his opportunity
to serve in khaki and sent him to
prison for five years. The same
sentence was imposed on four New
Mexico brothers who hid in the
mountains last winter.
