Selling Knocks Stocks
For 18th Monday Retreat

NEW YORK, Aug. 26-(R-Late
selling, although not particularly
urgent, today gave the stock mar
ket its fourth successive Monday
decline despite a fair amount of
resistance put up by selected issues.
Operations still were in the hands
of p-ofes sional floor traders, brok-
ers said, with the public continuing
to stand aside. Business hopes and
belief the list may have been
oversold inspired some bidding.
Bearish inspiration, however, again
was based on complicated foreign
affairs, fears of expanding labor
riffs and a little uneasiness over
hardening money rates. Disclosure
by the Commerce department that
manufacturers July inventories
showed the sharpest monthly rise
on record accentuated caution.
Dealings, slow most of the day,
picked up moderately at the last
and early advances of fractions
to a point or more were reduced
or converted in losses of as much

Negroes and Whites
Form Long Lines al
Polls in Georgia
By the Associated Press

ATLANTA, July l7.-Long lines of
voters crowded polling places
throughout Georgia today in the
first Democratic primary in which
Negroes participated.
In many places long lines of
Negroes and whites were in line from
the opening of the polls at am.
This heavy voting in the early hours
indicated a ecord-breaking number
of the more than 10000 registered
voters would ballot.
This was the first State primary
since the voting age was lowered to
10 years.
In some places Negroes and whites
voted in the same booths, but at
others separate ballot boxes were set
up. The Negro vote was heavy in
the large cities where most of 1t is
located.
FBI Agents Watch.
AS the balloting proceeded, inter-
ested watchers were agents of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Acting on instructions from Attorney
General Clark's Office, the FBI men
were on hand in several strategic
areas to prevent possible violations
of civil rights.
The primary, which carried the
race question as the major issue
throughout heated gubernatorial
campaign, also was the first since
lowering the voting age from 81 to
18 and removal of the poll tax.
Former Gov. Eugene Talmadge,
seeking his fourth term as Cover
nor, campaigned on a platform
promising to keep Georgia a white
mans State" and take the primary
from State control as a means of
barring Negroes from future par
ticipation. He warned wise" Ne
groes to remain away from the
polls
Backed by Arnall.
James V. Carmichael, 36-year- -old
attorney and former State legisla-
tor, who made the race with the
blessing Of Gov. Ellis Arnall, and
former Gov. E. D. Rivers touched
only briefly on the issue OF Negro
voting in their campaigns.
A fourth candidate for Governor,
Hoke O'Kelley. war veteran, con-
fined his campaign to infrequent
radio speeches in contrast to the
heavy Statewide speaking sched-
ules of his opponents.
The guernatorial nomination is
based on a county unit system
which no other State employs. The
candidate carrying a county gets

A chinook ordinarily is a gentle

Jude in winter. Martin City has its
own gentle, warming breeze, the
much appreciated Hungry Horse
News columnist, Bon Whealdon.
Martini City refers to Bon as "our
Chinook Indian" and actually some
few of Bon's ancestors were Chinook
Indians, who lived On the Oregon
coast. Bon, bachelor, was born on
the Grande Rounde Indian reserva-
ton in Oregon, 81 years ago. His
white grandparents were among
Oregon's first settlers, coming there
in the 1840s when Portland was a
metropolis of six log cabins.
Bon came to Montana in 1916, and
with his present partner, Lawrence
Thompson, had a ranch near Roman.
His writing experience was mainly
during two years of the 1905 doing
research on Flathead Indians for
the Montana Writers project. The
two came to Martin City last August.

From his rough lumber cabin with
a nail for door knob, and of course
no lock, he chases clouds away from

witty writing.

in his makeup, and great respect for
his fellow man. Read Bon's column

Slash Work On
Local Veterans.
Housing Project

Construction of the 32-unit Vet
Grams Housing project in the Co.
lumbia Falls city park was almost
stopped late Wednesday.
A telegram received from the E.
c. Nickle company, contractors for
the project read: EFFECTIVE immedi-
ately, revert to 40 hours per week
and decrease construction crew rs
per cent"
To Columbia Falls this telegram
means the laying off of 20 of the
80 men who are helping build the
80 units. Walls of three of them
have just been erected, and it was
expected that the first apartments
would be ready for veterans and
their families by late January.
This delay in providing additional
housing in Columbia Falls is viewed
with deep concern by local citizens,
and has disheartening effect on vet
Grams who have waited so long for
an adequate place to live.
Many of the men working on the
housing project were likewise vet
Grams. The Geographic order received
Wednesday that throws them sud-
denly out of work at a time of less
activity, is considered locally as most
unfair. 1t is not a nice Christmas
present.
Mayor Chris Raaen, meanwhile,
late Wednesday was trying to con-
tact the Laramie, Wyo. main offices
of the Nickle company to find out
the reason for slowing down the
project. No word had been received
by 10 am. Thursday.
At a special meeting of the City
Council Wednesday night two bids
were selected for consideration IN
the matter of installing sewer and
water supply system for the housing
project. The bidders were: Howard
Posten, Kalispell, and Ufford and
