NTEA PLANNING TO
INVADE SCHOOLS

Pamphlets are being prepared by
NTEA to be distributed in the public
schools, according to story in AID
vertising Age, a trade publication.
Last year, NTEA approached officials
of the New York City public schools
which are the largest in the United
States-and asked if they could dis
tribute materials to teachers. At that
time, they were flatly refused.
Evidently, after canvassing the field
NTEA is now convinced that they can
get in to some schools with bulletins
and lesson plans for pupils. Since
each local school board determines
what shall be taught in its schools, it
is likely that some misinformed
boards will sanction the use of NTEA
propaganda.
Recent surveys show that very few
schools are now teaching about CO.
operatives. Wisconsin is an outstand-
ing exception, for in that state, the
law requires instruction on co-opera-
ton in all secondary and teacher
training schools.

RESTRICTIONS
ON PURCHASES
OF TRUCKS

Warning that prospective purchas-
ers of trucks should make certain
they can meet Office of Defense
Transportation requirements for their
operation before the sale is completed,
was given today by District Manager
Fred A. Noble, Butte.
To obtain a Certificate of War Nee
essity for the operation of truck, 1t
must be shown that its operation is
necessary to the war effort or the
maintenance of civilian economy, and
that present service is inadequate.
No gasoline allotments will be made
for a truck until the Certificate OF
War Necessity is issued by the ODT,
for many purchasers of vehicles with
in recent months have been left With
out the permission to operate.
The critical shortages of trucks,
tires repair parts, gasoline, and man
power had made it necessary that the
restrictions be placed upon new or
expanded operations, officials said.
The increased tempo of the war
effort has lead to shortages of vital
transportation facilities, and the ODT
advises that before truck is pur-
chased it first be determined whether
permission can be obtained for its
operation.

other speeches favoring the memorial
were bad enough, being composed
mostly of misstatements of facts which
is mild description. But Mr. Parker
seemed to want to get down to cases
and told of the horrendous proposals
of the Army Engineers to raise the
level of the Flathead lake year before

they must not let such agencies as
the Army Engineers have anything to
do with development of the water re-
sources of the Missouri valley. And

Justice Johnson related the insist

somewhat questionable attempts of
Newcomer to work himself into the
attorney generals office after Attor-
ney General Bonner's entry into the
Army. While Johnson did not raise
the question in his radio talk, in view
of the fact that Newcomer is appar-
emily young, many wonder why he is
not in the armed services instead of
performing the services of somewhat
dubious value that he is presume bly,
performing for the Industrial Accident
Board
In closing, Chief Justice Johnson,
we believe expressed the views of the
majority of thinking people in the
state when he said:

purpose is to accomplish the selection
of the most honorable" persons tc
be judges.
The proposed law rambles on:
"No judge of any court of record in
the state of Montana, appointed OF
retained in office in the manner pre-.
scribed herein, shall directly or indi
rectly make any contribution to, or
hold any office in political party, or
organization, or take part in any po-
litical campaign"
The ignorant clerk, author of this
text, would thus disfranchise all
iudges-the important act in every po-
litical campaign is that of casting the
ballot
This Hitler hallucination proceeds:
"At the end of the term for which
he is ELECTED, (the clerk must have
meant APPOINTED), the justice of
the supreme court and district judge
shall go before the electors upon his
record WITH NO OPPOSING CANDI-
DATE, the electors voting upon the
question, "Shall Judge (naming him)
be retained in the office of (naming
the proper judicial office)."
Some Other Jokes in the Dream
The voters may not even write in
another name. No one would be quail
fled for appointment by the commits
sion unless in active practice of law
for 10 years before appointment. This
would exclude from reappointment
every present justice or judge in the
state.
The clerk writing this evidently for
got that Justice Morris and Judge
Berg must, under all circumstances,
be continued in office.
A bait is put on the hook to catch |
votes and quiet the judges themselves. |
It would raise the pay to 100000
or supreme bench, $6,000.00 for dis
riot bench. Every body agrees that
he pay for judges is not nearly
enough, but the legislature can raise
hat for future incumbents without
amendment.
The nightmare would force retire
nent on half pay at rs years. This
would soon eliminate one good Judge
n Silver Bow and one in Cascade.
In proposing this phase of Fascism
Tor Montana, these political gangsters
are drunk with power. Having lately,
with above $150,000.OO reelected Ford
as governor, through the aid of the
and other useless elements,
and by false propaganda that fooled
women when 10000 men have recent

Uncle Sam Is
 Rounding Up Tax EVaders

Black market operators who have been cleaning up huge profits and neglecting to pay Uncle Sam his share of the loot are going to have an opportunity to tell it to a Fed eral judge and jury.
 The Treasury Department dis closed this week that it's investiga- tors have turned up 2,50O tax eva sion cases that are scheduled for criminal action.
 The investigation was launched a few weeks ago at Florida winter resorts, where the newly-rich were spending their money like drunken sailors, and has been extended to other sections, the Treasury said.
 The 500 investigators for the time being are devoting their at tention to evasions that run into big figures. A number of the list for prosecution, it was said, will be called on to explain why they ne- glected to pay taxes on profits as high as a million dollars year.
 Of the 2,50O cases which are nearly completed, the Treasury indicated that the majority in- volved illicit liquor transactions.
 An interesting disclosure was that many of the tax evaders have put their money in real estate, thus contributing to land boom which some economists regard with alarm.

The most terrible thing about the whole business of this last and most hor- rible war, next to the loss of all the fine young men, was the fact that despite the fact that nobody wanted it, 1t still happened. We must see to it from now on that the will of the many, which is always against the destruction of war, shall prevail over the dictates of the few who wage them for their own ends. We know now that our will can be made to prevail. When we have won this war-let's prevent the next one.

The news of Hitler's and Musso- lini's death brought joy to the hearts of all true lovers of free dom. We know that Mussolini is dead, but the dark curtain sur- rounding the death of Hitler still leaves us in the gloom.
 We only hope that it is not an- other Senator Tom Connolly of Texas story. The world all knows that he, that great publicity seek CT, is the author of the false re- ports of Germany's surrender.
 False" is mighty nice word to associate with the name of Tom Connolly. It is well remembered by labor that Tom Connolly was a co-author of the Smith Connolly Act, which was designed by him in the hopes of crippling the rights of labor. We of Labor who are looking forward to VIE day, are just as anxiously looking for- ward to the day of defeat and dis- grace to all such men as Tom Con- holly, Senator from Texas.

Noman Nelson, former financial secretary of the Carpenters L-1302, has left for Arizona because of broken health. Brother Nelson who came here to work few years ago, gradually lost his health while working at the Electric Boat Com pany, and at the advice of his phy- sician, was forced to leave our charming New England climate, and hospitality.
 Brother Nelson was instrumental in organizing the Carpenters and bringing the Carpenters Brother hood to the E. B. Go. He was a
