The fertilizer division of Armour ap-
parently didn't realize that Armour's
meat division looks on the consumer

customer. In fact many of the co-ops

drew its fertilizer contracts are the

So, according to the Cooperative
Builder, Armour fertilizer statesmen
called on these Northland co-opera-
tives again and told them that the pre-
vious action had been mistake.
Armour will be happy to supply both
the co-ops and their competitors.
The Armour Fertilizer Works, a sub
sidiary of the big meat-packing con-
Germ, had informed the co-ops that
they were canceling leadership con-
tracts with them because they had
been informed the co-ops were expand

Early economic development
is foreseen for the area with
construction of Hungry Horse
dam, which congress has au-
thorized and on which prelimi-
nary work has begun. The
dam will be located in the center of
the county. The Bonneville Power
Administration has been designated as
the agency which will distribute pow
er from the dam, the principal bene-
fits of which will consist of reclama-
ton, flood control, and water storage.
"As an isolated power project" the
report states, Hungry Horse would
not be economically feasible, but be-
cause of the benefits which will accrue
to Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams,
as well as to future federal dams on
the Columbia, by reason of water stor-
age at this site, the Bonneville Power
administration plans to lnterconnect
the Hungry Horse generating faclli-
ties with the existing federal high
power transmission network and make
power available in Western Montana
at the uniform low postage stamp
wholesale rate which applies else
where in the Pacific Northwest"
Industrial and other possibilities
holding promise of increasing the pop
ulation of Flathead County by rs per
cent within the next decade are dis
cussed in detail in this first of several
economic surveys planned for Western
Montana counties. A similar report
for Lake County will be issued within
a few weeks. Work is also under way
on Sanders County survey, and an
other for Ravalli County.
Irrigation of the upper Flathead val
ley, food processing, remanufacturing
of forest products to a more advanced
state, and further development of the
areas outstanding tourist possibilities
are studied in the survey and present
ed as holding the greatest opportuni-
ties for increasing employment and
population.
Population of the county in 1910
was 24,271. A decline since that time
to about $4,000 is estimated in the sur
vey, which lists latent opportunities
believed capable of providing the basis
for population of 3S,500 by 1855.
Many local, state and federal agen-
cies co-operated in preparation of the
report, which was compiled by Bon
neville's market analysis section. The
survey contains IS photographs and

ALETTER TO NEWSWEEK

possibly 100, but the balance of the
oil industry, which is probably 95 per
cent of the total number of producers,
have suffered greatly during the war
period-more so than at any time dur
ing the last 25 years, as the price of
oil was frozen as of October 1, 1941,
and it was at sub-level at that time,
while our lifting and drilling costs
have increased from 70 to so per cent.
Independent oil producers were war
casualties.
There is no doubt but what the oil
industry did wonderful job during
the war period as there was con-
slant flow of nearly 100000 barrels
per day, but the big parade boys were
the only ones who got any real bene-
fit. Your article states they built
refineries wherever asked. The facts
are, these new plants for high octane
gasoline were built by the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation as we'll as
pipe lines and all other equipment nee
essary to make the major refining in
terests of the United States scads of
money. These major refineries were
paid premiums for high octane gaso
line, special fuels, distillates and al
most every product that they made,
besides receiving enormous subsidies
on freight rates and transportation
charges.
There is no doubt that Davies, who
is henchman for Standard of Califor-
mia, will be willing to go home with
the feeling of a job we'll done as the
company he represents, together with
the Texas company, will have derived
millions and possibly couple of bill
lion dollars worth of oil properties
through the efforts and compromise of
the United States government, and his
superiors will feel that it was a job
well done for them, while the indepen-
dent oil men, who have been the pio-
neers in most of the new oil fields
brought in in the United States, have
suffered immensely during the war
period.
This is a great line of propaganda
put out by the editor of Newsweek
as build-up to the general public as
to who really did the job, while the
small oil men produced and suffered
under the dictatorial powers of Sec
rotary Ickes, who was only a figure
head while the major oil representa-

February 1911, the dean of American

At the convention of the American

and their unions.
At the conventions of the Typo

Max led the fight for a. constitutional
amendment to provide for the cleo

the first time elected their Interna-

been extended greatly, thanks to the
editorials of Max Hayes in the Cleve-

NEWS-WEEK,

Broadway and AID ST.,
New York IS, N. 7.
Dear Sir:
Under date of September oath,
Newsweek published news from the
capital regarding an oil man, namely,
Ralph K. Davies. Knowing the man
personally, having had a conference
with him, feel and believe that the op-
posite is true from the picture drawn
of this henchman of the Standard OF
California Oil company. Instead of be-
ing a rugged individualist, he is mere
ly the mouthpiece of the major cor
porations and obeys only his masters
voice, which we know originates at
26 Broadway.
The supposedly great liberal, Sec
rotary Ickes, on being appointed Pc
troleum administrator for war, instead
of getting competent Independent
oil man from the mid-continent,
reached down into the bag and picked
this young man who was an ideal rep
resentative of the major oil corpora
lions in this country and one who was
interested in land-grab at Saudi,
Arabia, seeking to control large con-
cessions in the Middle East. The trl-
umvirate, Ickes, Rayner and Davies,
were chosen to go to London to make
agreements for the present with Eng
land and later with Russia to, cut the
oil pie that exists in the Middle East.
1t is a known fact that the govern
ment, through 1end-lease, has been
equipping an army in the Middle East
and these major oil companies have
made all kinds of concessions to the
Middle East for the privilege of pro-
ducing oil and building long pipe
line. and undoubtedly this lend-lease
equipped army will be used to defend
and protect these oil properties at the
expense of the American taxpayer.
While the said Mr.. Davies was draw
ing salary of $4,000 year from the
government, the Standard of Califor-
MIA was paying him some $4,000 a
year in salary for his contribution and
services rendered the major oil COM
panies of this country. 1t can be said
that the 80 leading oil companies have
made scads of money during the war
period and this could be increased to

REINS L00SENED
ON Bonneville

Under the provisions of H.R. 2690,
which was written into law this week
by President Truman, the Bonneville
power administration becomes the first
federal agency to extend the retire
ment protection of the Social Secur-
ity act to all laborers, mechanics and
workmen not subject to the civil serv-
ice retirement act.
The bill also provides unemployment
compensation protection to Bonneville
workers employed on a temporary
basis by making the unemployment
compensation tax provision of the in
ternal revenue code applicable and by
granting the states in which the Bon
neville administration operates permits
sion to extend the state unemployment
compensation act to include such en-
ployees.
Other amendments to the Bonnie
vile act contained in the bill are de-
signed primarily to enable the Bon
neville power administration to func?
ton as a regional agency with author
ity to deal with problems locally.
Commenting on the bill, Bonneville
Power Administrator Paul ]. Raver
stated that it would relieve the admin
istration of great deal of red tape
and would enable it to function with
more efficiency as business agency.

pie governmental administrative pro-
gram" Raver said. con the contrary.
it is operating large-scale business
and is now the third larg-
est power distributor, public or pri-
vate, in the United States.
During the last year the Bonneville
administration marketed over nine bill

Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams
which comprise more than so per cent
of the electrical energy consumed in

Sen. PEPPER
SAYS RUSSIA
GOOD Market

"Russia is one of the most inviting
markets the future holds for us" said
United States Senator Pepper follow
ing a conversation with Stain in Mos
COW on September IA.
Stain described the terrific war
damage suffered by the Soviet trans
port system, it's industry, and its pro-
duction facilities. Now that the strug-
gle is over the Soviet government is
eager to rebuild it's peacetime indus
tries and raise the standard of liv-
ing for it's people who went without
adequate food, clothing or housing dur
ing the long war. The United States
can supply much of the heavy equip
ment and machine tools needed to
bring about the reconversion of Soviet
industries for peacetime production.
American-Soviet trade has fluctuat-
ed between the high of $114,500,000
in 1880 and the low of about $9,000,-
900 in 1888. In 1910 the value of our
exports to the Soviet Union was $780,
100000. American exporters and i'm
porters have found the USSR scrupu-
lous in meeting its obligations. There
has never been a delay in payments,
nor a single case of non-fulfillment of
a contract by Soviet trading organ
ization. Important to note is the fact
that imports from the Soviet Union
do not compete with American prod
ucts, nor are many of them readily
available elsewhere than in the Sow
ct Union.
The total value of our exports to
the USSR from January to June, 1915
was $1,383,26S,000 Lend-lease items
form the bulk of this total, amounting
to $1,370, 5O5,000 for the six-month Pc
riod.
A partial list of American exports
to the Soviet Union during this period
includes the following products:
Canned Meats-Lard oleomargarine,
milled rice, wheat flour, vegetable oils
and fats, refined sugar, boots and
shoes, wearing apparel, cotton thread
and cloth, wool blankets.
Lathes-Milling machines, grinding
machines, planners, tractors and parts,

Typical of his experience during
this period is this story that Sea-

machine guns from their car. I
quickly drew phosphorous grenade
from my pocket and threw it out
OF the speeding car I was in. The
Germans seeing I had thrown some
thing from the car stopped quickly.
Their misfortune was to stop COM
pletely over the grenade as it
touched the ground. In a few min
utes their car, with four very dead
Gestapo men, was destroyed !"
two days later I was able to shoot
and kill two more Gestapo men with
the aid OF three Frenchmen."

OSS Specialist Risked His Life
Many Times With Underground

A Hollywood thriller based on the
exploits of Specialist 1fc Edwin
William Poitras of Lowell, Mass.
would probably be dismissed by
movie critics as too fantastic. :
| Yet this 23-year-old sailor, at
tached to the Office of Strategic
Services. risked his life time and
time again as he joined French re-
sistance forces to aid them in the
fight against the German invader
official OSS reports reveal.
Shortly before D day in 1914, Sea-
man Poitras, who is of French de-
scent, volunteered for the hazardous
mission of operating a radio with
the French underground. During
the next three months he accom-
plished the extremely important
work of keeping Allied headquarters
in touch with the resistance in his
area. He also, participated in
numerous small scale attacks against
the enemy, nearly losing his life on
several occasions.
His mission nearly came to a
u dsiS dllu PiCiIdGuic cilu NJ tIlS
outset when German fighter shot
down Liberator which was ac-
companying the plane on which he
was travelling and then attacked
that plane. He managed to jump,
and landed safely on May 2, 1914.
The next morning he met the
French underground leader with
whom he was to work. Three times
he was forced to flee hideouts, once
when German barracks in the town
blew up, partly wrecking the house
in which he was hidden, the other
times to avoid the Germans.
One of the underground leaders
working with him was captured and
tortured by the Germans. Young
Poitras had few anxious days un-
til he heard that his colleague had
escaped from the Gestapo, and had
told them nothing.
Following D day, Seaman Poitras
