TAKES OVER
AT STATE univ.

Lieutenant Commander James A.
Mccain, president of Montana State
University, arrived in Missoula this
week to take over his new duties as
head of the institution.
The 38-year-old educator came from
Washington, DC, where he has been
with the Navy bureau of personnel.
Commander Mccain on September 1
succeeded DR.. Ernest o. Melby as
head of the state university. Vice
President R. H. Jesse meanwhile
served as acting president in McCain's
absence.
For the past three years, the new
president has been in charge of a
naval enlisted personnel classification
program, the experience of which is
expected to be valuable in the develop
ment of a comprehensive guidance
program for both regular students and
returning veterans who enroll at the
indicated
Through his Navy position, he has
organized, stated and administered
113 field commands employing 1900
especially trained officers and men.
Commander Mccain, woh is to re-
ceive his discharge this month, en-
tered naval service in 1912 Before
that time, he was at various times
dean of student personnel and of vo-
cational education and guidance and
assistant to the president at Colorado
state college.

though it's projected expenditure of
$500, 100000 year for the next three
years is not as much as we would
have preferred.
But the president recognizes the
principle Of insuring the nation
against depression through public
works That's the principle The Rec

to prevent job discrimination on
grounds of race
The president will have another bat
tie on his hands to get through the
proposal for increasing the nations
minimum wage level from 40 cents an
hour.
Private Enterprise
The president makes clear that he
is counting on private enterprise to
carry the ball on reconversion.
He makes plain what the die-hards
refused to believe when Roosevelt told
them: that this New Deal program is
really insurance to protect private en-
terprise-that 80 per cent of it be-
comes effective only if private enter
prise, for one reason or another, slows
down.
Take the full employment bill for
one example. The Tories scream
about it now. But so long as private
enterprise is able to maintain nation
wide prosperity
The full employment bill will not go
into action.

aspects of the Truman

Dear Cap Bruce:
A four-column wide, by 10-inch
length add of 7-29-45, appeared, nc
doubt in all the Sunday issues of the
Kept" and general press of the state
and will follow in the weeklies as they
go in the mails-stating how "Muscu-
lar" a famous Home-Owned corpora
ton was, though, they did not say just
where the "Step Parents" home was,
or where controlled from.
Neither did the add" state, that a
"Squid" was not whale.
An oyster may not indulge in much
activity, but it has it's place in the
natural affairs of mankind, quietly do
ing it's allotted work Neither does
said oyster, muddy or attempt to mud
dy up the waters of public opinion like
the squid does-to sneak up on its
intended victims, then brag how mus
cular it is. Here, parable" Braggo'
was a good dog, but Hold Fast was
a better one, though Brag never hid in
q manger in his life. When the head
of the corporation is in Wall street,
its body resting on all the people of
the Northwest, it's feet hid in the clay
banks of few dams here and there,
its tentacles in the pockets of all the
people of the nine states in the Mis-
souri, Drainage Basin
And how much has the squid i'm
proved its way of life except to get
to thinking, at times that it is an octo-
pus, with tentacles, like same until,
like the Rising Sun Empire, it meets
a worthy adversary such as the T. v.

If this famous, or infamous, corpo-
ration believes so strongly in free and
competitive enterprise and competi-
ton, why did they have their Senator
Wheeler" fight so hard, few years
back, to keep Mr.. Wheeler (not
relative of their senator'), and asso-
ciates of Minneapolis, Mimi, from con-
rival hydro-electric plant
at Poison, in Western Montana, and

rightful owners, all the people of the |
state, and then proceeded to sell for

Dear Mr.. Bruce:
Ever since the congress renewed the
Price Sterilization Program, I have
been wanting to write about the help
which you have always given us.
To my mind, now that the war is
over, we are going into the very tough
est stage of our fight against disas-
trous initiation. | do not see how we
can avoid the catastrophe which fol-
lowed the last war unless every per-
son who reads a newspaper under
stands clearly the issues. That Is the
reason l am so encouraged by the fine
coverage on OPA problems and pol
icies that your staff has given in the
Peoples Voice.
The inflationary pressures we are
feeling now in Washington are ter
rifle, l can tell you. The courage to
withstand them, so that we can do
the job which people have given us, is
greatly strengthened by your under
standing.
We are very grateful for the ex-
cellent news coverage and the very
fair attitude that has been displayed
by your newspaper through it's edi
torials and news columns with respect
to the OPA program. :.
Sincerely,

Lack Of Labor, Weather
Cause Crop SpoiIage

RICHMOND. Va, July 5.-Dry
weather is causing deterioration OF
crop and pastures in Midwestern
Virginia, while a shortage of labor
is responsible for heavy grain losses
by farmers in other sections of the
State, the Virginia Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service has an
nounced.
Hot and dry weather was reported
over most Of the State for the week
ending June 30. with only light
showers reported In many localities
outside the Eastern Shore and Nor
folk section. The driest areas con-
tinue to be the midwestern part of
the State extending south from
upper Rockingham County to lower
Botetourt and Craig Counties, where
dry weather is approaching drought
conditions, according to the survey.
The Crop Service said a partic-
ularly heavy burden is being placed
on the farmer at this time because
of the shortage of labor and need
for harvesting of alfalfa. clover and
grains. Some grain is reported to
have ripened and fallen so badly
before it could be harvested that it
will be difficult to reap without
heavy loss.

at special meeting this week to de-
fer action until all possible loca-
tions have been considered by a
committee OF three Of its members.

structed to report back to Council

sidered since the Council approved
