In what may prove 10 be the
turning point in Montana oil
development, the Texas Com
pany this week reported a
''Iarge" gas flow on drill stem
test In the Devonian formation,
at from S,56s to 3,59f feet. In
the company's deep test on the
Utopia structure, south of the
Sweetgrass hills and east of the
Kevin-Sunburst field. Top Of
the Devonian was 1921. No esti-
mates as to size of the flow
are available. The well Is corning
ahead. Previous wells on the
structure got OIL at the top Of
the Madison lime, and heavy
flows of high pressure gas in
the Ellis sand, Immediately
above the lime.

Piles are agreed on the perpetuation
of white supremacy throughout the
world.
England is now depending almost
wholly on this nation to protect the
the English way of life and that is
the way Of exploitation Of weaker
peoples who incidentally are the
darker peoples Of the earth. With
Hitler and Mussolini dead, their
fascism and their naziism still live
in the preachments of Churchill.
How ironical the fate of Mussolini
and Hitler with Churchill their
chief prosecutor implementing
their idealogies. Churchill, the fasc-
lists and Nazi receiving degrees, and
Mussolini hanging by his heels in
the square in Milan. Hitler the mad
man crouching in death in the
chancellory of the Reich with
Churchill his pursuer wintering in
Florida, propagating his idealogies.
This is a funny world.
But once a man is caught the
world forgets every good thing he
ever did. Mussolini was without
doubt one of the most picturesque
figures of this generation but he
dies in disgrace when he breaks the
18th commandment. Mussolini

VETERAN PROBLEMS UNDER
THE 6. |. BILL

The G.. |. Bill is an attempt to ex.
press our national appreciation to
our veterans for their sacrifices,
but congress laid an egg on the ma
tional doorstep when it failed to
provide adequate machinery to
carry out the provisions of the bill.
This lack of legislative foresight
has crippled the veterans program.
The effect upon Negro, Japan
ese American, Mexican American,
and other minority group veterans
has been two-fold: not only do they
have problems resulting from this
general inadequacy of program,
but their problems are increased by
local patterns of discrimination and
segregation.
In most communities through
out the country, minority veterans
receive inferior and inadequate
service from the agencies charged
with administering the CT bill.
They are denied their benefits in
many instances.
The NAACP, the American Coun-
Gil on Race Relations and the Ma
tional Urban League have launched
programs of assistance to minority
veterans attempting to gain equal
benefits under the bill. Surveys by
these organizations provide ample
evidence of unfair treatment in
many sections of the country. They
have gathered an appalling amount
of factual information on how the
minority veteran is faring in his
postwar adjustment.
The problems of japanese Ameri-
cans on the west coast, Negroes in
the south, and Mexican Americans
in the southwest point up the Sec
tional patterns of discrimination
and segregation which are ever
an present barrier to equal treat
ment.
Mainly responsible for the de-
plorable plight minority veterans
find themselves in with regard to
their CT rights are the community
veterans information centers and
agencies.
These are the facts:
L.. Local patterns of discrimina-
ton and segregation prevail in in
formation centers that service both
white and minority veterans.

ties and 'counseling services exist
wherever separate facilities are set
lup.
3. Local offices of federal agen-
cies such as USES and Veterans
administration discriminate against
minorities in job referrals and job
placement.
4. Often minority veterans are
advised to draw unemployment
compensation rather than attempt
ing to find suitable employment for
them.
5. These agencies discriminate
in the hiring of their own personnel
with the result that few Negroes
and other minority counsellors are
employed in these agencies. This is
the picture despite the VAS public
policy of non-discrimination in hir-
ing its personnel.
6. A general lack of apprentice
ship program which include on the
job training for minority veterans.
Some programs actually exploit the
federal government and the veteran
by offering on the job training as
porter" truck helper" etc.
7. Minority veterans face dis
elimination in the emergency hous-
ing programs.
8. Discrimination in administer
ing the loan provisions of the CT
bill.
Some relief from this vicious
situation may be in sight. The prob
lens faced by minority veterans in
getting their benefits have recently
been presented directly to Washing
ton officials. A committee, headed
by Charles H. Houston, vice-presi-
dent of the American Council, ar
ranged conferences with heads of
the various federal agencies charg-
ed with the administration of the
CT bill. Resolutions adopted at the
recent national emergency Confer
ence on Minority Veteran problems
were presented. The committee re-
ported favorable hearings and was
given assurance that an improved
program aimed at greater integra-
ton of minority veterans would be
forthcoming. This remains to be
seen.
Such program of information
would give assistance to organiza-
tons attempting to improve facili-

in that city. He did not know where

fits at the community level.

Census Figures Show
Startling Rise in
Wartime Jail Escapes
By julia Edwords

A mounting number of escapes
from State and Federal peniten-
tiaries, viewed by penologists as
Startling" was reported today by
the Census Bureau on the heels of
the Alcatraz riot and escapes from
District Jail.
The number of escaping prisoners
climbed steadily from 1882 in 1910
to 2,370 in 1914. Figures for 1945,
not yet tabulated, are expected to
bear out the trend. The Census
Bureau report covered prisons in 46
Of the 48 States as we'll as District
and Federal institutions. Alabama
was the only State in which the
study included local jails.
Austin H. MacCormick, executive
director of the Osborne Association,
asserted there should have been a
considerable decline because the
prison population dropped markedly
during the war. If the escapes per
thousand population were given,
they would show the rate of increase
was tremendous" he said.
Federal Escape Held Down.
The wartime degeneration in per-
sonnel must be held responsible, he
asserted, because human beings,
not mechanical devices, prevent
escapes" AS proof. he pointed to
the way inmates of Alcatraz, the
strongest prison in the Nation, cap
tured their guards and held author
tiles at bay until the Marines were
called in.
Frank Loveland, assistant director
of the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
said State institutions must account
for the growing number of escapes
because there has been no steady in
crease in escapes from Federal
prisons. The number fell from 45 in
1910 to Is in 1912, jumped to an all
time high of Sc in 1914 and dropped
to 40 in 1945.. Out of 252 escapes,
only 5 were from maximum security
institutions, he said.
Only 16 of the Federal escapes
still are at large, and of these Is

fled across the border, Mr.. Loveland
reported While breaks were be-
coming more frequent, the number
of escapes returned also was rising.
Announcement that the number
of men returned to State and Fed
eral penitentiaries advanced from
