RUSSIA DEVELOPS
GIANT wheat

A new variety of hybrid wheat with
individual kernels almost three times
the weight of ordinary wheat grains
has been developed in Russia. The
giant-grained wheat is highly resistant
to practically all known fungus dis
eases of wheat.
Anton Zhebrak, the Russian scien-
fist who developed the hybrid, was
working on his breeding experiments
in the White Russian city of Minsk
even as Hitler's invasion began. Leay-
ing the burning city behind, Zhebrak
fled with his priceless propagation
stock. Now he is preparing to carry
the descendants of those grains back
to their original soil for further ex-
periments.
The hybrid is cross between the
standard hard or macaroni wheat,
Triticum durum, and a recently dis
covered Caucasian wheat, Triticum
Timopheevi.
Zhebrak, who is member of the
Belorussian Academy of Sciences and
professor of genetics at the Timiri-
azek Academy, has periodically
named the new species Soviet wheat"
or Triticum sovieticum.-G T. A. Di-

ANTICIPATED AT
POLITICAL MEET

BUTTE (SpeciaD J. O'Con-
nell, state director of the CLIO political
Action Committee, announced today
that, on the basis of the reports he
has received from the various locals
affiliated with the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations in Montana, all of
these unions will be represented at
18th at Great Falls. This conference
has been called by the temporary ex-
ecutive committee of the Montana
Council for Progressive Political Ac-
ton.
The chairman of this group is Sen.
Don Chapman, president of the State
Farmers Union, with Charles Mclean,
president of the Anaconda Mill and
Smeltermen, CLIO, as secretary. The
executive committee consists of these
officers and B. l. Steinmetz, presi-
dent of the Cascade County Trades
and Labor Assembly, Great Falls;
Harry Smith, secretary, Mill and
Union, East Helena;
Dave Grant, Mill and Smeltermen's
Union, Great Falls; AL Robinson, Oil
Workers Union, Billings, and ]. M.
Peterson, secretary, State Farmers

informed by the executive committee
and the officers that $50 AFL and
CLIO unions and 80 local units of the
State Farmers Union, had been in
vited to send accredited delegates to
the conference at Great Falls on Sun
lay He said that there would be a
full attendance of CLIO delegates, and
that all indications are that the AFL
locals will respond with rare excep-
lions.
The Great Falls meeting will be
held for the purpose of forming a
statewide organization for
/ united political front of the progress
,ive forces of the state in the coming
primary and general elections, and
)lans would be made for the organ
cations of branch councils in every |
county in Montana.

1t is estimated that 100 to 10 mil
lion people will be entitled to receive
medical benefits under the bill. There
are two main reasons why it might be
desirable to limit coverage under the
bill to smaller number of people.
l. In order to provide a residuum
of private practice. However, al
will be entitled to benefits under the
bill, there is nothing in the bill to
compel them to accept such benefits.
AS we have stated previously, there
is no doubt that some proportion of
these potential beneficiaries will
choose to remain under the private
care of their present physicians and
continue to pay their own medical
bills. Also, some 80 million people
will not be covered by the bill There
fore private practice will continue to
co-exist with insurance practice and
it is not necessary to restrict cover
age on that account. Moreover, this
is not basic premise on which to
judge the merits of the bill.
2. The second reason is that theor-
etically it would be wise to start such
an insurance system with smaller
number of people and to enlarge the
coverage gradually, and thus to cor
rect whatever errors arise as the sys-
TEN grows This reason for restric-
tion of coverage has some validity and
the Physicians Forum therefore ex-
plored the possibilities of such restric-
ton in detail. The possible methods
are as follows:
a. Restriction by Geographical Area:
Such limitation is not feasible under
a national system of insurance. 1t
would be impossible to draw up ma
tional bill intended to cover just one

ON THE MARGIN
By BOB

With few definite announcements
political office, the campaign of 1914
is beginning to assume substance.
We now have two who have an
nounced their candidacy for the gov
|ernor's office: Associate Justice Left
Erickson and Austin Middleton, pres
ent member of the board of Railroad
and Public Service Commissioners.
John j. Holmes has announced that
he will be candidate for reelection
to the office of state auditor, and the
concensus of opinion among the po-
litically wise is that he will be a
'hard man to beat.
So far, Dan Maddox is the only one
who has announced himself as can
didate for congress in the second con-
gressional district. He is rated as a
liberal republican, and his record in
the state senate in the last session
justifies that rating.
Rumors are current that Jim O'Con-
nor is more than flirting with the
thought of making the race for gov
ernor. The rumor is discounted by
some democrats who state that "he
can't be beat for congress, but might
find the going tough for the governor
ship" l submit this piece of gossip
and expressed opinion for what it is
worth.
A likely candidate for lieutenant
governor is Paul Cannon of Butte.
He has served several sessions in the
state legislature and his record there
is of the best He is merchant, but
has shown by his work in the legis-
lature that he can see the needs of
the state far beyond the confines of
Main Street" Able and experienced
in legislation he should be a strong
candidate.
Today's friday papers carry a
notice of the announcement by N. A.
Peterson of Waller that he will be a
candidate for reelection as senator

MANY HAVE IDEAS
ON POST WAR
EMPLOYMENT

NEW YORK. - The judges in the
Pabst Postwar Employment Awards
could settle down to a coy winter,
if they had the time, and read the
equivalent of 210 volume of Gone
With The Wind, for that's just how
many words have been entered in
the $4,000 competition for the best
working solution to the postwar en-
ployment question-or more than 100,-
100000 words to be exact.
Out of 1928 entries received with
a 1000 word limit, it is estimated
by the Awards Committee that the
judges and the Economics Department
of Columbia University, which is han
ding the preliminary judging, will
have to wade through 6S,374, 900 words
of regular entries and an additional
35,000,000 words of supporting ma
terial

geographical area.

geographical area.
b. Restriction by Category of En-
ployment: Health insurance might be
| limited to those employed in factories,
excluding their dependents, the self
employed, the white collared workers,
farm workers, domestic servants and
all others. Such discrimination would
deprive these latter groups of medical
benefits which they require to the
same extent as workers in basic in
dustry. Such discrimination is in
equitable and should be avoided.
C. Limitation by Income Ceiling: A
study by the ANA submitted to a
senate committee in 1899 conceded
that all families with incomes up to
$4,000 year needed a varying meas
ure of economic help to meet illness
and hospital costs. On the basis of
the national income at that time, this
included 80 per cent of the population.
If, however, in spite of this estimate
by the ANA we should decide to set
an income ceiling Of $4,000 year per
family, the following serious conse-
quences would ensue which would
jeopardize the functioning of the bill
and undermine the quality of care
rendered under it:
First, the number of beneficiaries
would still be rs million people which
would not significantly reduce the
hazards of introducing large system
all at once, but would increase the
administrative problems considerably
because fluctuation of income from
year to year would mean that a pro-
portion of the beneficiaries would con-
statntly be moving in and out from
under this income ceiling and cover
age by the plan.

can be conservatively esti
mated to amount to ten billion
dollars after taxes and renego-

the making of excessive profits
is almost universal among the
war contractors that some of
the large war contracting in

a few of the war contractors, the
following are cited:

more than in pre-war years.
BELL AIRCRAFT CORP: Average

more than 100 times the pre-war year

Look at those figures for the last
war and remember that they resulted
in the creation of crop of $4,000 new
millionaires. The country was so
shocked that it promised never to let
it happen again. Both major parties
pledged themselves against it. Scores
of bills were introduced in congress
to prevent it happening again.
No More War Milionsires
When this war started, President
Roosevelt promised that a new crop
of war millionaires would not be per-
mitted. He tried to carry out that
pledge. But his tax proposals were
slashed to pieces in congress. The re-
suit is that it is happening again, even
though most newspapers don't men,
ton the subject.
One thing that has helped to fool
the public this time is that, unlike the
last war, dividends have not zoomed
to new heights. The corporations are
playing a cagey game with their prof
its. They know that big dividends
and speculative stock market would
inflame the country So they are
holding on to their profits.
But the dividends are no measure
of profits. Only about half of the
profits are being paid out in divi-
dends The lush stock bonuses will
be held until after the war. How lush
they will be can be seen from the
fact that from 1941 to 1913, inclusive,
profits of almost $12,-
O00,000,000 were piled up by the cor
porations. This is the melon the
stockholders are waiting to divide aft
er the war is over
How Profits Pile Up
Actually, even this is deceptively
low figure. Some corporations are
still losing money, and this is the net
increase for all corporations including
the money losers. The money-makers
alone have piled up $4,000, 100000 in
the three-year period, and about $19,- |
D00,000,000 since 1899. The Securities
and Exchange Commission recently |
reported that the corporations have
S39, 0O,OO0,00O in quick, liquid assets.
Even those lush profits figures in /
our table don't reflect lot of real
profits the corporations are realizing /
rom their wartime booms. Some of /
hem are covering up profits in their
depreciation and depletion reserves.
Most of the war manufacturers have
been virtually given new plants by the
government during the war.
They are buying about $4,000 900
worth of new plants and equipment
orm their war profits in addition to
he figures already shown.
Furthermore, the government has
,uilt about $14,OOO,OOO,OOO worth of
,lants with it's own money, which the
have options to buy after
he war and will probably get for
ong.
Beyond all of this, those huge taxes
he corporations are paying are not
otal losses to them by long sight.
they still have claim even on the /;
axes Congress has kindly provided
hat if they have losses after the war,
hey can go back and get refunds from {
he Treasury on their war taxes. {
If the war should end by the end of |
his year, the corporations would have {
$26,000,000, 900 reserve piled up out
