PRES. TRUMAN
COMMENDED ON
STAND ON FEPC

A voice from the South in support
of the fair employment practices com
mittee was raised today, as the South
| leased a lette rto President Truman
in praise of his message urging con
gress to continue the appropriation
for that agency.
I'VE want you to know" the letter
stated, that there are thousands upon
thousands of Southerners who stand
four-square behind you In support of
the F. E. P. G. 1t is regrettable that
so many Southern congressman and
senators fail to represent the genuine
democratic sentiment of their constit-
uencies in this matter of assuring the
protection of our domestic institutions
to all citizens. However, we must
remember that the poll tax and other
restrictions upon the ballot in all
Southern states make a majority vote
difficult if not impossible to achieve. !"
The Southern conference for hui
man welfare also expressed gratifica-
ton for the presidents efforts for
permanent peace, especially his strong
support of the reciprocal trade agree
ments and Breton Woods. The letter
termed the temporary rupture of the
harmonious relationship" of the Big
Three. as a threat to future world
peace" but expressed confidence that
Mr.. Truman would be successful in
restoring mutual confidence and good
will between the United States and

ementS available.
The low standard of salaries paid
in Montana is given as the first cause
for designations, many of the more ex-
perienced teachers planning on going
to the Pacific coast where minimum
salaries recently fixed almost exceed
the average in this state for teachers
and administrators combined.
The Montana Education Association
states that school districts, recogniz-
ing the difficulties they are facing are
already planning how to meet the
situation by virtually eliminating the
small rural school and dropping spe-
cial departments and extra-curricular
activities in high schools and pairing
down the courses to the barest mini
mum. The elimination of the small
rural schools, poses another problem
involving transportation of pupils to
the larger centers or finding housing
accommodation for them there during
the school yearx
Students graduating from the states
high schools this year when inter-
viewed, manifested no interest in pre-
pairing themselves to enter the teach
ing profession because of the low
salaries paid and the social standing
of teachers in a community.
DR.. E. o. Melby, president of the
Montana State university in a meet
ing at Hamilton stressed the low sal
aries paid to teachers as the reason
why the profession did not attract
more young people and also the reas-
on for so many teachers leaving it.
The conclusions reached are that
higher salary standards must be fixed
In the state in order to make the
profession as attractive here as it is
in neighboring states where higher
are paid or there is a dis
tinct possibility that many schools in
the state will be closed in a few years.
1t Is the opinion of many that the
control by the corporations
of the state and their opposition to
any form of public service which car
ries with it threat of increased tax
alton, is the major cause of the pres
ent problem. Moreover, unless this
control is broken, there will
be little to attract ex-service men and
women to the state to establish
homes. The constantly dwindling pop
ilation of the state is ascribed to what
las been called the present colonial
policy" of exploitation of the states
esources by eastern capital, and this
policy must and does affect the
chools and other public services in
he state as well.

WEST GETS
BREAK ON
FREIGHT RATES

Under prodding, the interstate com
merce commission last week took 6
short but significant first step toward
better business for all Americans, and
equalizing economic conditions so In,
dustry can spread.
This was the commissions order
to cut class freight rates east of
the Rockies by 10 per cent except
in the so-caIIed official territory,
which Is north of Ohio river and
east of the Mississippi. There they
are to be raised 10 per cent. Later,
the !. c. c. said, class freight rates
will be put on uniform basis.
When the change Is accomplished
railroads haven't said they would ac.
cept 1t without fight industries can
be established more easily in the vast
Southern and Western territories.
Governor ArnalPs Fiqht
Despite the big headlines whic b
greeted the order, however, its actual
effect will be gradual and slight. The
molasses-slow interstate. commerce
commission, which has looked on com
placently for so years while the North
west was built up as a giant industrial
region at the expense of the rest of
the country, was prodded into action
only by an aggressive fight by Cover
nor Arnall of Georgia, the IVA,
and other persons and agencies in
terested in a better break for the
South.
Governor Arnall had already sue
ceeded in getting the United States
Supreme Court to agree to hear the
Southern plea to outlaw old-style rate
and he says he'll go ahead
with the case, as double insurance"
In the last two generations, many

towns all the way from Memphis to
Denver, has been laid in ruins be-

LIVESTOCK
SHIPMENTS
GO TO GREECE

Shipments of dairy heifers and draft
animals to help replace the decimated
livestock population of Greece will
soon be dispatched from the United
States, it was announced today at u.
N. R. R. A. headquarters in Washing
ton. Some 300 dairy heifers and O9O
draft animals will be sent to Greece
as the first consignment 1t is prob
able that 300 bred heifers and 800
mares will shortly be shipped to Yugo-
slavia
These shipments inaugurate U. N.
| r. R. A. aid in the restoration of
dairy herds and draft animal stocks
of the European nations which are
receiving assistance from theinterna-
tional agency. The problem is large
In the five nations-Greece, Albania,
Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Po-
land-receiving full-scale aid from U.
N R. R. A, more than one-fifth of the
livestock has been lost. AS compared
with pre-war, there are now in these
nations 100000 fewer draft animals
and dairy cattle. The loss has been
extremely heavy in Greece and Yugo-
slavia, where one-third of the dairy
cattle and draft animals have been
lost during the war
The U. N. R. R. A. program of pur-
chases in the Western Hemisphere
contemplates replacing some one per
cent of the losses. 1t will REQUIRE
during the next IS months some 25. 900
bred heifers and utility cattle for draft
purposes and milk production; a few
bulls, stations, rams and boars for
breeding purposes; and about $4,000
mares, mules and asses for draft and
transportation. About half the ami |
mails are scheduled to come from the |
United States and the remainder from
other united nations in the Western
The first shipment was directed to
Greece because of the extreme need
there for both dairy cattle and draft
animals. In the Athens, area, for ex-
ample, there are now but $500 dairy
cows. Before the war there were 25.-
O00-10 times as many.
'The livestock rehabilitation pro-
gram is restricted by the limited avail
ability of animals and of shipping
space" pointed out E. R. Henson, in
charge of agricultural rehabilitation

BY ARTHUR STORM

Papa was building larger house
on another part of the homestead. II
was going to be real house this
time, not shanty; 1t was to have
two rooms upstairs besides the two
downstairs-and gable roof, with
shingles He was making most Of
his material by hewing logs to the
proper sizes, cutting prodigiously day
after day with his huge broadax
strewing the ground about him with
chips, filling the air with the spicy
scent of spruce and tamarack gum. He
erected the building in a grove near
the northern end of the farm, a quar-.
ter of mile from the old shanty.
Anders, when he was permitted to ac-

When the boy was five years old

The children were entranced with the

T oug h-h wn whitewashed walls
through which the wind did not blowl
There was one fly in the ointment.
Close to the house Papa and Ole dug
a we'll which was half filled with
cool, sparkling water curiously metal
lie in taste. Soon every member of
the family was suffering violent and
persistent stomach cramps. 1t did not
take long to trace the trouble to the
water. Thereafter Papa and the boys
had to carry water for drinking and
cooking from a well belonging to Per
pa Kullen, Mammals father, who lived
with Mormon Grandmother; literally
'mother-mother") on the quarter Sec
ton adjoining Papas homestead ON
the east. The useless pit beside the
house was filled with rubbish and
stones. Papa dug well after well,
only to find them all alike, and at
asst to conclude that he had made
great mistake. He should have dug
wells first in widely separated spots,
and then built his house near the
pest water.
He began erecting a stable made of
ogs set on end upon stills laid on
stones and fastened together at the
