SKATERS LEARN THEIR
SON ELLIS IS RELEASED

Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Slater were
informed by telegram Sept. % that
their eldest son, PFC. Ellis w.
Slater, was liberated Sept. 8 from
a Japanese prison camp and that
he would return soon to the United
States. He enlisted Jan. II, 1871,
and had been a prisoner of the
Japs since the fall of C~orregidor in
May 1912. He had been in Japan
since August 1913.
The telegram of notification was
from Edward F. Witsell, acting
adjutant general, and said:
"The secretary of war has asked
me to inform you that your son.
PFC. Ellis w. Slater, returned to
military control Sept. g., 1915, and
is being returned to the United
States within the near future. He
will be given an opportunity to
communicate with you upon arrival.
Physical condition fair"
The fall of Corregidor was one
of the sad incidents in the early
part of the war in the Pacific. The
island is in Cavite province and the
entrance to Manila bay, Philippine
Islands, and consists of about 1000
square miles.

ROTAR|ANS LEARN WAR
NEEDS CLOSELY MET

Two views of the wharf.-the fight
ing front in the Pacific where he
served % months as a statistical
control officer, and the mechanism
of administration in Washington
where he has been serving for more
than a year since returning from
the Pacific-were given Tuesday by
Maj. j. o. Gehrett who spoke be-
fore the Rotary club.
The accuracy of estimates of men
and material needed and supplied
for successful prosecution of the
war on distant fronts, and under a
multiplicity of changing conditions,
was astounding to the Rotarians.
Major Gehrett disclosed that the
estimates of equipment and men for
the air force of the army, with
which he was particularly &C
quainted, so closely conceded with
deliveries that the overplus margins
were only fractions of a per cent.
Involved were the gigantic problems
of procurement, fabrication or
training and the %stupendous task of
u dllSpOIldIlOil W llOuIo IiiOuodiiuo
of miles distant.
The overall picture revealed a
thorough knowledge of the subject
by executives and an efficiency in
execution. There were some slips,
unacceptable in so large an enter
prise, but compared to the total the
errors were slight. They were
- f@1- oI-.o-nI1o - aIa~~nc N oon-
ditions.
AS to conversion of fighting
to peacetime uses, the
was of the opinion that
in many instances the planes were
designed and built for the specific
jobs of war and that many types
are not adaptable to successful con-
version. Their loss will be n of
the costs of the war. Some, how
ever, can be salvaged after altera-
ton for the pursuits of peace.
Because of the publicity given
it and because of its Importance as
a place of administration of the
war, Major Gehrett described the
.entagon building in Washington,
mentioning lCS oZ acres Oh grounu
space, its five floors and miles of
corridors. The thousands who work
need the necessities of life,
together with some of the con-
y~eniences. Included in the narrative
we're mentions of the restaurants
the building and the parking
spaces outside for automobiles, all
vital incidentals to the speedy and
successful carrying on of the work.
Paper too, in immense quantities,

If usefulness in preparing schedules,

CLOTHING
DRIVE IN JANUARY
Hundred Million Garments Arc
Needed For Overseas Relief
- Kaiser Heads Move

Henry j. Kaiser, national chair
mar of the United National Cloth
ing Collection of the past spring
has outlined plans for a second
nationwide effort to collect cloth
ing that is urgently needed fol
overseas relief.
The second clothing campaign,
which President Truman asked
Kaiser to lead. is to be known as
the Victory Clothing Collection. 1t
will begin Jan. 7 in thousands of
American communities and will
continue through Jan. 81. It's ma
tional goal is not to be based on
poundage. Instead, the American
people are asked to contribute 100.-
000, 900 garments. with additional
shoes and bedding.
In the earlier collection, the ma
tional goal of 150.000,000 pounds Of
serviceable used clothing was more
than met. AS in that drive, the
Victory Clothing Collection will be
by the United National
Clothing Collection. Inc, and will be
a united effort in behalf of UNRRA
1.-THE United Nations Relief and Re-
1abilitation administrator by war
relief agencies together with repre-
sentative groups in the nations life,
including religious and educational
groups, women's and fraternal or
Plantations, farm. labor. industrial,
Veterans, youth and civic groups.
1t was announced at the White
House Sunday that President Tru-
man,. who considered the need for
| second clothing collection "im-
,erative," had called upon Kaiser
md all the local chairmen of the
drive of last spring to
serve again and to conduct the
lew undertaking.

PRISONERS ARRIVE
TO WORK IN FIELDS
Come To Laurel From California
In Train Made Up Of S. P.
and U. P. Equipment

Part of a contingent of 1900
German war prisoners coming into
this territory was delivered here
Monday morning for work in har-
vesting the sugar beet crop. The
men marched at $3.50 from the rail
road depot to Riverside park,
which will be their camp during
the coming weeks. About $50 we're
in the consignment. They appeared
to be in better spirits than the
men in the initial groups delivered
here last year to work in the beets.
The prisoners came from Cali
fornia in a train of about 10 cars
made up of Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific equipment and were
for distribution to Laurel, Bridger
and Billings.
Last spring and early summer a
group was employed in this locality
for thinning, wedding and other
operations in connection
the sugar-yielding beets. When
that phase of the work was COM
pleted the men were shipped to
other states for employment in es-
sential crops.

Series OF Unusual
Events Marks Trip
OfLOcal SpOrtsmen

About everything queer happened
on this trip, a combination hunting
and fishing expedition to West
Yellowstone and Hebgan lake on
the Madison.
In the party were B. B. Hageman'
Paul Void, Jerry Covert of Billings,
Frank Hartley, Joe Jolley, Ed
Kucera and "Doc" Hopkins. They
were looking for events to relieve
the mediocrity of every day living;
and found them.
What looked like a major calam-
ity was when Wold's car was stolen.
A few days later it turned up in
Billings when alert officers spotted
it.
S~cheidecker and Hageman were
on a boat on the lake when Schei-
decker shot a goose. The wound
was a broken wing which brought
down the goose but did not stop
its efforts to get away. With a
net with a long handle, used for
landing fish, Hageman vainly tried
to get near enough in the slow
moving, oar-propelled boat to re-
trieve the goose with the net. Each
time when success appeared near
the goose would dive and came up
somewhere else. In desperation,
Hageman rugged up his fishing
equipment and started casting. At
last he shared the goose around the
neck and reeled it in.
Then Jolley did the unusual. He
caught the biggest trout taken this
year at the lake, and is having 1t
mounted at Livingston: He had a
lot of fun landing it.
The final episode was when the
boat capsized near the shore.

CATTLE NUMBER
IS SAID To EXCEED
MARGIN Of SAFETY
Production Body Advises Re-
ducing Number To 100000
By Beginning Of 1947

Bozeman, Sept. 26.-With cattle
marketing again at hand, the Mon
tana agricultural extension service
has called attention to the recent
report of the state production adj
iustment committee in which it of
fers suggestions on livestock pro-
duction and use of cropland in
1915.
In it's report the committee
points out that cattle and calves
on hand in Montana on Jan. l.,
1915, were only slightly less than
the all-time high of Jan. l., 1914,
when cattle numbers totaled some
1,757,O00 head. Because the states
cattle population is considered to
be too high in relation to average
feed resources, the committee sug-
gests that producers begin a re-
duction program that would bring
cattle numbers down to about
1,56O,O00 head by Jan. 1, 1947.
If the numbers remain at present
levels, the committee reports, severe
re~percussions on the beef cattle in
dustry could result if a drouth
should occur in 1916 OF 1947. The
committee goes on to point out
that grazing requirements for all
livestock expected to be on hand
during 1916 exceeds the average
grazing capacity for the state.
1t has been possible to maintain
cattle numbers at a high level IN
recent wears, the committee adds,
because weather conditions have
been favorable for increasing the
summer forage supply and for
better utilization of range feed dur
ing winter months. These favorable
conditions have enabled operators
to carry on the range livestock
numbers above what is considered
a safe limit.

Harvest Opens Tuesday
AT Many Receiving
Stations In Area

The annual harvest of sugar beets

A normal crop is regarded as IL

weight of the first beets delivered
seemed to be up to standard.
Stations were opened this week
at Columbus, Park City, Squirting,
Laurel and Silesia. Keown station

Food Supply Expected To Hit
New Low Level Within 90 DAYS

Washington, D. C.-American
civilians are moving into the sea-
son of lowest level of meat, egg,
poultry and sugar supplies since
the war began.
Eggs, a major substitute for
meat, which has been scarce for
weeks, are in tight supply the
country over. Poultry is virtual
ly nonexistent in many sections.
The sugar shortage is growing
acute.
Furthermore, bad weather has
cut into anticipated production of
fresh vegetables and fruits in ma
ny sections.
And reports from abroad bring
nothing to brighten the world
food picture. Drought has re-
duced prospective meat output in
Argentina and Uruguay, normally
big exporters. Crop prospects
throughout Southern Europe are
poor.
For Americans, the next two
months may be the period of
greatest stringency. Some i'm
provement in meat supplies is ex-
pected to show up early in Au-
gust.
The new pack of canned goods
will begin to show up on retail
shelves. Prospects are, however,
that it will fall below this years
pack and how much civilians will
get is yet uncertain because needs
of the armed forces have not been
determined.
But sugar is expected to be
short until next year and this
Summers shortage likely will re-
duce home canning.

which could be Hitler's" Zhukov
said in the first authoritative
report on the Hitler mystery.
Zhukov said the German fueh-
rer and his bride had good op-
portunities to get away from Ber-
lin after one of history's most
Macabre marriages.
"He could have taken off at the
very last moment for there was
an airfield at his disposal said
the head of the Red army's oc-
cupation forces in Germany.
The Soviet commandant of Ber-
lin, Col. Gen. Nikolai E. Bezarin,
also said that Russian soldiers had
not yet found Hitler's body.
"My personal opinion is that he
has disappeared somewhere into
Europe" Bezarin said. "Perhaps
he is in Spain with Franco. He
had the possibility of taking off
and get away"
