There will be no calendars avail able this year for the Girl Scouts, who have in the past made the sale of calendars an annual affair, it has been learned by Girl Scout Commissioner Mrs. Scott Murphy.
 Plans were made several weeks ago by the Council to order calendars, and Mrs. Frances Beebe appointed chairman to help the girls conduct the sale. She has just been notified by the National Headquarters that due to the continuing paper shortage the calendars are not being put out this year.

However, you'll find that any of 1 the veterans organizations will aid
 you, and even represent you before
 the appeal or review board-which
 meets in Washington. There'l be no
 charge and you don't have to be a member.
 The Red Cross and particularly
 the three largest veterans organi- zations are experienced in handling appeal cases. Don't hesitate to ask any one of them for help. I'm again getting inquiries about copies of the GI Bill Write to the Superintendent of. Documents, Gov ernment Printing Office, AS G. St., Washington, D. c.

 Question from A. A. M Tuscaloo- sa: I'm 24, have had over three and a half years in the Coast Guard, and was honorably discharged last week. I want to take some extra training; but, as I cant show my education was interrupted when l entered service, I don't seem to be eligible under the CT Bill of Rights. Am I wrong?
 Here's question that's being ask ed constantly. Despite instruction that I suppose is given at Separa- ton Centers, there is still much misunderstanding about who is eli gible for CT Bill education. It's because the wording of the CT Bill is confusing on this point. There's a chance that the wording (and the business about 25 years of age) will be changed by Congress.
 But, A. A. M. of Tuscaloosa, you are entitled to four years of train ing under the CT Bill. Practically every veteran with more than 90 days of service and a discharge un- Ger conditions other than dishon- orable is eligible for one year.
 In addition, any veteran who was not over 25 when he entered service is entitled to extra years of training equal to the time in service dop is four yearS)
 So, as A. A. M. was under 25 when he entered, and was in for three and a half years, he's entitled to one year plus three and half years. This adds up to four and half years but he can get only four years, since that's the maximum anyone can get.

ized-you can't have these other ail- ments treated on an out-patient ba- sis.
 As things progress, it may become possible for ex-service men to get out patient treatment for any ail- ment or disability This would helr to relieve the veterans hospital bed situation.
 But that's for the future. Out patient treatment now is only for treatment of service-incurred dis abilities.
 Question from R. V. D., Pensacola :. I think I should appeal for a change in the type of Navy discharge I re- ceived. I understand I have an appeal. But I need help in prepar- ing the appeal and don't belong to any veterans organizations. What do you suggest?

SAYS BUTLER

Senator Butler one of the members
of the subcommittee of the Irrigation
committee which has been holding
hearings and majority of which have
turned in an unfavorable report of
s. 555, the Murray bill to establish a
Missouri Valley Authority, is reported
to have given as his reason for OPP
posing the bill that his state had no
need for it.
Senator Butler tells the truth about
his state as far as public power is
concerned, as the state of Nebraska is
the first state in the nation to be
1000 publicly owned so far as electric
utilities are concerned.
The Consumers Public Power Dis
trict of Nebraska serves 344 incorpor-
ated towns and 40 unincorporated viii
lagos in the state. Nebraska also has
SO municipality owned electric utilities,
thus making a total of publicly owned
electric utilities of 483 in the state.
1t wasn't tools of the privileged like
Butler who brought this about. The
people wanted it and simply went
ahead and got it.

If you owned 100000 apartment house plastered
with 60 70 thousand dollar mortgage wouldn't try
off the mortgage by closing off and sealing

proposition that Army Engineers and the Reclamation Bureau
will accomplish full and mutipurpose development in the

COURT ACTION
STARTED ON
WAGE QUESTION

X T. Sutton, attorney for the South
ern Tenant Farmers Union, today filed
petition in the United States district
court in Helena, Ark, requesting that
the Arkansas wage board be enjoined
from enforcing wage ceilings of s2.05
per 100 pounds on cotton picking in
1916.
H. L. Mitchell, president of the
Southern Tenant Farmers in Memphis,
announced that the suit had been filed
before Federal Judge Harry Lemley
on behalf Of M. F. Shackelford and
321 other cotton producers and cotton
pickers, residents of the 81 east Ar
kansas counties effected by the cotton
wage control.
The petition for Injunction charges
that the department of agriculture vic
lated the executive order of the presi-
dent, dated Aug. 81, 1915, providing for
modification of wartime controls of
prices, wages, materials, and facilities,
wages are illegal and that the Arkan-
sas Wage Board should be enjoined
from enforcing the wage ceiling that
has been set
The petition further states that the
referendum vote Elm the Arkansas
counties was 1856 for ceiling and
2,757 against a ceiling and that ac-
cording to the 1910 agricultural CEN
sus figures there were S4,377 farm
operators in these counties and that
a majority therefore did not approve
the ceiling since less than 1917 partici-
pated in the voting September LIST.
The petitioners also maintain that
that their constitutional rights are
being denied and that the executive
branch of the federal government was
given no authority by congress to gov
ern the people by directives.
In addition to the temporary in
junction and restraining order which
is being asked in federal court, II. L.
president of the Southern
Tenant Farmers Union, revealed that
4 petition to the secretary of agricul-
lure was being circulated through the
Il counties and thousands of produc-
srs were signing the petition request

Dear Sirs:
The resolution contained in this was

annual convention of this organiza

Whereas: The Missouri Valley is
subject to floods, drouths and devas
tation created by an uncontrolled riv
er, and
Whereas: The measures undertake
en- so far have failed to produce salts
factory results for the 100000 resi-
dents of the valley, and
Whereas: A Missouri Valley Au.
thority promises the full development
of the vast potentialities Of the region
and promises the coordination of mea-
sures for flood control, irrigation, rec
lamation, navigation, soil conserva-
ton, reforestation, watershed manage
ment, promotion of all phases of wild
life and aquatic life resources under
direct management of the respective
states, development of mineral re-
sources, industrial development and
the full utilization of the power po-

Whereas: The establishment OF a
Missouri Valley Authority can mean
the transformation of declining agri-

FARLEY AIRS
WATER RIFT
I'm CALIFORNIA
BY Rodney L. Brink

Staff Correspondent of The Christian
Science Monitor, California
The long-latent controversy back
of CALIFORNIA; Central Valley Project
has broken out into the open and
reached the bar of public opinion.
Whether the United States army
through its corps of engineers, or the
Bureau of Reclamation shall be GUS
todians of the Vests partly navigable
irrigation rivers, is the question.
Both government agencies present
ed their case on recent day before
a meeting of 200 members of the
Central Valley Project Conference
called "a coalition of labor, working
farmers, churchmen, and veterans"
The Conference included represent
|atives of the State organizations of
the American Federation of Labor,
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
lions, and also the State Grange.
In the end the Conference sent
summarized statement of the whole
case to President Truman, and petit
toned him ito use your executive
powers to this desirable end A uni
fication of authority in development
Of the Central Valley Project, Cali
fornia, as the only means of securing
indispensable benefits to the maximum
number of citizens"
The Conference message concluded:
I'm our opinion, this single authority
must be the Bureau of Reclamation
of the Department of the Interior.
The communication to the president
was signed by George Sehlmeyer, Mas
ter of the California State Grange,
who is chairman of the Conference.
Debate Was Sedate
The conflict implicit in the effort
part of the Central Valley Project in
the name of navigation and flood con-
troll expressed itself, as between the
two federal agencies, in a most gentle
manly, almost scholarly debate
1t is a conflict of ideas, of ideals
Since early in the 19O0's, when the
Bureau of Reclamation was formed for
its task of building the West, it has
striven avidly to make the rivers
serve desert lands; bring water and
people to them; serve the people with
electric power Multiple purpose" is
the ideal behind every project, every
dam. 1t is standing policy.
On the other hand, Col Lester F.
Rhodes, speaking for the army corps
Of engineers, told the Conference: IF
it is to be said that the corps of en-
gineers have policy, such policy
would be that of any good soldier
to conscientiously carry out orders.
4 Il 4
Thus, it is social philosophy on
the one side and a lack of policy on
the other, which are in conflict. Both
agencies have been authorized by con-
gress and equipped with funds to build
some of the works that will ultimately |
make up the widespread network of
dams and canals with which California
hopes to conserve every drop of wa

AMENDED BILL
cRIPPLES PLANS
FOR PROSPERITY

The amended Full Employment Bill
passed by the senate Friday is dis
appointment to everyone who sincere
ly wants to see full employment an
assured, continuing REALTY in this
country.
AS it stands it's a PIP of bill
A Perhaps, If, Possibly measure.
It doesn't say that America is going
to have full employment come hell
or high water-the only effective ap-
proach.
1t actually jeopardizes attainment
of the universally desired goal.
With restrictive conditions, it Grip
pies the means the nation has of
assuring jobs for all.
There are some hopeful aspects.
More than 100 members of the house
have announced they will fight the
watered-down version of the bill and
exert all theier efforts to have the
original bill restored.
On Record
And even the bill as it emerged
eminent on record for the first time
in history as committed to policy
of maintaining full employment.
Mark that word policy WELL how
ever. The bill does not commit the
government to an obligation, merely
a policy. There, perhaps, is the fun
damental difference between the Full
Employment Bill as it was, and as
the senate enfeebled it.
Providing the right of job for all
Americans able to work and desiring
to work must be an obligation and
responsibility of government.
Limit Funds

spoke of the fright" of Americans to
a job, the language was changed in

PVT. ENTERPRISE
VS.. SOCIALISM
TEST PROPOSED
Representative LaFollette of
Indiana Introduces Bill to
Provide Actual Test of
Advantages and Efficiency
Of Two Systems.

A bill introduced in congress by
Representative Charles M. LaFollette
of Indiana proposes an actual test OF
the relative efficiency of 'socialistic
management of an industry and one
operated by the government"
The bill provides for the selection of
two aforementioned war plants by
the President, and that the govern
ment negotiate for the sale or lease
of one of these plants to a bona fide
workers cooperative which will agree
to operate it. The bill proposes gov
for the purpose of producing consumer
goods under conditions which will con-
stitute fair competition with other pro-
ducers of similar goods and transmit
the plan to congress for its decision.
In statement made to staff cor
of the Christian Science
Monitor, Representative LaFollette
said:
what l am trying to do, is not. l
think, only consistent with the demo-
cratic process, but essential to its
maintenance-namely, to offer prag-
matte test of the discussions which are
now prevalent in the United States as

ABOUT COMM.
HEARINGS
BY JAMES E. MURRAY

The hearings on the MVA bill, S.555,
before the subcommittee of the Irriga-
ton and Reclamation committee, end
ing recently, has firmly established
the fact that support for the MVA is
growing rapidly and will not be de.
MED The outcome must inevitably
be regional organization and adj
ministration for the development of
all the resources of the Missouri Basin
with the headquarters resident in the
region so as to be responsive to the
will of the people.
That central idea of S.555 was adj
vanced by the twenty witnesses testi-
ity The high quality of these wit
nesses, their statesmanlike approach
to the problems, and their unselfish
devotion to the public good produced
a record which ably supports the
cause of an MVA
The list of opponents included
considerable number who were def
nitely to be described as doing the
bidding of the private highcost power
interests. Their protection of vested
interests was apparent in almost every
statement made This real purpose of
much of the opposition put them at
a serious disadvantage for they could
not offer testimony which appealed to
any unbiased legislator as being COM
pletely in the public interest. 1t was
not long after they started with their
side of the case that the opposition
testimony dropped to the level of mis-
statement and petty criticism of vari-
GUS features of the bill.
The chairman conducting the sub
hearings was Senator John
H. Overton of Louisiana, long leader
in the flood control movement, who
was chairman of the previous hear
ings before subcommittee of the
Commerce committee. Much of the |
time he conducted the hearings alone |
although the subcommittee appointed |
to hear the bill consisted of five sem
ators. Instead of being an impartial
chairman, examining witnesses for and
against S.555, he frequently voiced his
opposition to the bill. This atmos-
phere of hostility which he created
prevailed from the first to the last
day of the hearing.
Yet, despite all of the politics that /
have been played, the MVA idea is
gaining rapid ground. It's strength is
in the people of the Missouri Basin.
They know that only through the
establishment of an authority can they
be assured of full anu unified develop,
