COP Taken To Task
By Atty General
Tom Clark

Washington, Oct 9.-Atty. Gen. Tom
Clark declared that "the issue of com
munism has been exaggerated and dis.
orted deliberately by the republican
party for political purposes"
The cabinet official said "those who
control the machinery and the med
iums of publicity of the republican
party nationally and in many states
would have you believe that the great
democratic party. the party of JEFF
ferson and Jackson and Wilson and
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Tru-
man-has surrendered itself to the
communists"
"They would have you believe"
he continued, "that victory for the
democratic party would be victory
for the communists. 1t is MY opinion
that quite the reverse is true.
I am the attorney general of the
United States and the chief law en-
forcement officer of the federal gov
eminent. 1t has been my responsibility
to investigate and maintain constant
check of all subversive groups in the
United States.
Il know who the American COM
munists are, what they are doing and
what they plan to do.
Reaction Breeds Communism
Speaking from first-hand knowl-
edge of communist activities and de-
signs and ambitions, and from ex-
perience and observation, I can de-
clare confidently that what breeds
communism in this or any country is
reaction
What breeds communism is the
avarice and greed of a selfish minor
ity that seeks to deprive the vast ma
jority of men and women of an op-
portunity to achieve security, of an
opportunity to work at a decent job
at decent wages, under conditions of
labor commensurate with human
dignity and to enjoy fair share Of the
wealth they create. Great Falls

tors, sugar beet factories, general con-
struction work, were solidly lined up
against any proposed merit system,
while, for the most part, those en-
ployers such as retail merchants, Of
fering steadier employment, favored
new basis for tax computation.
Under the proposed merit system
tax credits or debates would be given
to those firms that offered steadier
work than the average. While on the
surface, there seems to be some justi-
fication for a merit system, the pre-
ponderence of fact appears to be
against such a proposal Opponents
pointed out that retailers benefit from
the paying of unemployment checks,
since they receive a margin of profit
on every such dollar spent with them,
whereas the seasonal industries, when
not operating, are actually losing

money on their investment. 1t was
further pointed out that if a merit
system were to be inaugurated, there
would be no reason why similar sys-
tenn could not be put into effect for
the schools, with people having no
children paying smaller proportion
of the school expense. Both AFL and
CLIO representatives commended, and
rightly so, that unemployment is a
community problem, rather than one
of an individual industry.
AFL and CLIO Present Solid Front
Contrasted with the definite split
between the various employers, dele
gates from both AFL and CLIO unions
presented a united front in what the
organized working people of the state
wish to achieve in the way of revis-
ion of the law The labor program is:
1. An increase in maximum weekly
payments from $500 as set down
when the law first became operative
in 1888 when the dollar had consid-
cradle more value than today, to
S3U.UU, ana an extension Oh e1BlDle
time from Is to 26 weeks. Today's ma
tional average is slightly over $1,000
per week.
2. Building up the reserve fund to a
minimum of s5O,OOO.OOO. The present
reserve fund has approximately $685.
100000. (The need for at least $50
million was affirmed by Chairman
Craighead who stated that
should another severe depression hit
it would take at least that much to
tide unemployed workers over)
3. Solid opposition to any merit or
experience rating system. Labor point

merit systems are in effect, tax re-

lamation at Washington for final ap-
prevail.
The total of $950,000 for a transmits
sion line from Kerr dam at Poison to
the Hungry Horse damsite will also
be available. The Bonneville Power
Administration has informed Congress
man Mansfield that their schedule for
the transmission line calls for sur
vey and design this fall with actual
construction of the line due to start
about April l, 1947.
On the basis of contracts let to date,
Montana contractors have been award
ed s1,255, 1716O out of $1,439,016 let
altogether. If the bid of the Western
Montana Electric Company of Mis-
soula is accepted, the grand total for
Montana contractors will be well over
$1,300,000 with sS56,4S4 of the appro-
priation-exclusive of the sum appro-
priated for the transmission line
still to be let out in contracts.
Congressman Mansfield expressed
his pleasure that 900 of the contracts
let to date have been awarded to
Montana contractors, because he
stated, 81 want to see the Hungry
Horse project built by Montana con-
tractors and Montana workers. and to

project brought to Montana which
will be used to benefit Montana and
its people on a permanent basis. 1--WE

Walla Walla.-(CNS)-Hearings on
a proposed merger of Pacific Power

Portland, Oregon, September II, as a
result of protests by coop and farm
groups in the northwest.
Pacific Power and Light has been

ing itself of Pacific Power and Light

protests by Charles Baker, head of In
