Davis or Sherwood
Expected 10 Resign
I'm owl Controversy
,, the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
An onlcial explanation was await
ed today on the reported dispute be-
tween Elmer Davis, director Of the
Once Of War Information, and his
overseas operations director, Robert
Sherwood, and to Mr.. Davis report
ed query to President Roosevelt,
who's running the OWI?"
Informants close to the two ON
cials Of the New York ofIice-Joseph
Barnes, deputy owl director in
charge Of the Atlantic operations;
Edd johnson, chief Of Owls edi-
torial board, and James Warburg,
deputy director In charge Of psycho-
logical warfare-and that Mr.. Sher-
wood had refused.
The only comment from Mr..
Davis ONCE was that "the whole
matter is In the hands Of President
Roosevelt"
One Of Two May Resign.
Informants expressed the belief
that the Chief Executives decision
may result in the resignation Of one
Of the two.
Mr.. Davis is in New York, and Mr..
Sherwood refused to discuss the
matter.
Mr.. Davis was pictured as feeling
that officials Of the overseas branch
In New York, where most of the
psychological warfare operations are
centered, were running away with
OWL"
Mr.. Sherwood, noted playwright
and friend OF the President, report
edly also rebelled at making organ
national changes Of which the dis
missals were . part. Mr.. Davis pro-
posed shuhling Of the overseas divi-
sion, it was reported, would have
had the effect Of restoring more Au-
thority over the overseas operation
to the owl headquarters here.
Reorganization Flatly Ordered.
The dispute assertedly reached the
showdown stage about three weeks
ago, with Mr.. Davis flatly ordering
the reorganization and Mr.. Sher-
wood asserting he would appeal to
Mr.. Roosevelt. He Is reported to have
done so, on personal visit to the
White House.
Mr.. Davis countered with a writ
ten communication to the President,
which, 1t was said, had the effect
Of calling on Mr.. Roosevelt to decide
whether he was director Of Owl or
not.

STOCKMEN
SHOULD NOT
FORGET 1881

One of the most interesting items
received this week by The Voice, is
a statement forwarded to Elmer Shoe.
maker of Flathead county by Wood
Brothers, livestock commission mer-
chants in South st. Paul.
This statement accompanying pay
ment by the firm in. September 1881,
during the Hoover prosperity days
was for shipment of three heifers
and three cows to the livestock mar
ket in South st. Paul.
The statement shows that the three
heifers, weighing a total of 1,635
pounds brought a price of $3.50 per
hundred or a gross of $24.52 or $8.17
a head. One COW. weighing 705
pounds brought price of $1.25 per
hundred, or total of 1881 Two
cows weighing 1,745 pounds brought
what was apparently the top price of
$1.50 per hundred or a total of s26.17.
After deduction of charges for yard
age, fire insurance, hay, government
check tax, weighing, trucking and
commissions, Mr.. Shoemaker received
a net of S31.S2 for his six head of
stock, or $685. head.
1t is probable that the Republicans
will say why bring that up?" 1t
would be interesting to note how they
would probably try to blame the con-
ditions obtaining in the farming and
stockgrowing industries at that time
on President Roosevelt

Confirming Judge Erickson's charges
that the administration of the Mon
tana Liquor Control board has not
been along business-like lines, a re-
sponsible official, interviewed this
week by The Voice, stated that in adj
dition to not having turned over any
profits from the monopoly to the state
since last year, it now has little or
no funds and was hard put some time
ago to pay its federal taxes
This official asserted that the Lii
quor Control Board has lacked funds
to purchase whiskey because its ware
houses are loaded with tremendous
inventories of wines and liquors for
which there is no public demand. In
cluded in these inventories according
to this official, are quantities of Te-
quila which the board has had to
"candle" to remove or try to remove
matter; that if it had not
invested state funds in goods of ques-
tionable value at high prices, it could
have obtained quantities of whiskey
to meet the public's demands.

By LowNDEs MAURY

The bill introduced by Senator Muir
ray to establish Missouri Valley
Authority, modelled closely after the
Tennessee Valley Authority, has
caused the eastern press to label the
junior senator from Montana, 'The
New Leader of the Liberal Forces in
Congress-. The burden laid down by
George W.. Norris has been taken up
by James E. Murray.
The heralded lowering of rates for
light and power to save the consum-
ers in Montana $S00,000.00 CD the
year is already one of the benefits of
the entry of that bill into the agenda
of congress. AT least many cagy GUS
toners think our state board merely
registers and publishes what the cor,
porate board DEGREES.
Of course the actual consumers

development
RETARDED

In a radio broadcast speech last
Tuesday. Sen. James e. Murray de-
clared that the growth and develop
ment of (Montana's) industries have
been retarded while at the same time,
our raw material resources are being
exhausted" and that Montana has
been maintained wholly on the basis
of raw material economy.
Calling attention to the fact that so
far, no state administration has pro-
posed or advocated cheap power, he
stated that the development of cheap
power is absolutely essential to our
growth and prosperity. Montana
possesses tremendous potential cleo
trio power which must be developed
in order to bring about development
of our other natural resources.
Senator Murray urged the election
of Juustice Left Erickson, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, because
he was pledged and could be depended
upon, to cooperate with the national
administration in a postwar recovery
program.

A newspaper is a quasi-public insti-

public with information on public
problems. The solution of these prob

whole state-it will benefit all bust

of population and expansion of indus

man, the workers and the farmers of
Montana must get behind this con-
structive program by electing Left
