range and livestock report, mild
weather during most of Febru-
airy cleared most of the states
lower ranges which were COW
cred with snow in January.
However, on March /, most
of Montana's ranges were COW
cred with a new blanket of
snow. In addition to warm
weather, precipitation for the
month was below normal in the
eastern portion and above in
the western half.
Stock water supplies are good

In Flathead county new grass,

county ranges are generally in
the poorest condition of any in
the northwestern portion of
Montana. In the north central
and northeastern sections some
of the ranges were covered with
ice.
Prospects at present point to

range in the upper part of
Blaine county grazed largely by
sheep. Inclement weather in
Beaverhead county has made
some of the ranges and pas

Gallatin and Jefferson counties
conditions are better than
average and there is a good
stand of feed left from last fall.
In Big Horn county snow
covering is light but hay stacks
are disappearing fast. More
snow is needed in Park county

Produce Less
Wool in State

Montana produced 21,485, 00C
pounds of wool in 1916 and 49,
TOT 900 pounds in 1945, the Bur-
eau of Agriculture Economics
reports.
The nine per cent decline in
1916 production from the pre-
vious year was principally due
to a marked reduction in sheep
numbers. A total of 2,238, ZOO
sheep were shorn in 1916 COM
pared with 1888 900 in 1945 and
averaged 9.6 pounds wool per
head which was six tenthS
pound above average clip for
1945.
Woolgrowers income from
sales of wool in 1916 is placed
at $9,239,000, or II per cent
below the income of $10,431 900
in 1945. The average price re-
ceived by producers at local
shipping points was 43 cents
per pound in 1916 and "A cents
in 1945.
Sharing second place with
Wyoming in wool production in
previous years, Montana acced-
ed this position to the neigh
boring state at the first of the
war and has never regained its
position. All the western states
except Utah showed less wool
produced in 1916 with an eight
per cent reduction recorded for
the group as a whole. Oregon's
decline of 10 per cent was first,
followed by California with a
IA per cent reduction Wyo-
ming wool production declines
only three per cent and Col
orado only six per cent.
Texas, the leading wool pro-
ducing state, had a clip of 60
sos pounds in 1916, only six per
cent below the 1945 clip.
The unfavorable prices rela-
tionship between wool and
operational costs is the main
reason for the decline. From
1910 to 1916 sheep shorn de-
cline 20 per cent and wool pro-
duction 81 per cent in the II
western states.

Boy Hangs Self
With Leash of
His Missing Dog
By the Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Joey Craig's
best present last Christmas was
black mongrel puppy, the first dog
the 13-year-old boy ever owned.
Joey and Blackie were insepa-
rable. The boy never went to play
in the crowded stockyards district
without taking Blackie. The dog
always waited for him outside
school. Many nights joey let
Blackie sleep with him.
Yesterday the dog was missing
when joey came home from school.
With his two young sisters and
some of his pals he searched the
neighborhood but they couldn't
find Blackie.
Back home joey went into his
bedroom and told his sisters. Mary,
10, and Norma Jean, 7, When I
knock you come in" After sew
eral minutes there was no knock
so the girls opened the door and
found their brothers body hang
ing from a closet door.
Joey had looped Blackie's leash
around his neck and attached II
to the top of the door.
A fire department inhalator squad
worked unsuccessfully to revive the
boy. Police notified Joey's parents
Leonard and Anna, both of whom
were at work.

hour schedule for their removal plan.
BY 10:45 am. an 11-inch fall was
recorded and still the swirling snow
came down. The Weather Bureau
predicted a blanket of foot or more
before the storm abated in the early
afternoon.

Scientists Disguised
With Senate Handling
OF LiIienthaI Case
Compton Letter Is Read
Vondenbere at Hearing
Of Atomic Committee
By the Aksocioted Press

DR.. Karl T. Compton, president
of Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, said today scientists
are "disgusted" with the way the
Senate has handled the nomina- =
ton of David E. Lilienthal to be
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission. ..
DR.. Compton, one of the men
who helped develop the atomic
bomb, expressed his views in a let
ter which Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan read at the
Senate Atomic Committees hear
ing on the nomination.
Senator Vandenberg, presiding
officer of the Senate and one of
the top Republican leaders, has not
announced his position on the ap-
pointment, although several other
Republicans have lined up against
it during the committees month
long hearing.
Fresh support for and new OPP
position to Mr. Lilienthal developed
in the Senate today. Aides of Sem
ator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, who Is i'll ib Florida, an
nounced he will vote for the NOM
inee, but Senator Robertson, Re-
publican, of wyoming said he will
oppose confirmation because Lili-
enthal is a New Dealer who is an
expert only in spending Government
funds"
Called Well Qualified.
DR.. Compton wrote that the in
dustrial and military development
of atomic power will collapse into
a hollow shell" II politics and spe-
cial interests get control.
He described Mr.. Lilienthal as
we'll qualified and said failure to
confirm him could produce serious
consequences to the atomic energy
program. Work at Oak Ridge, Tenn,
and other atomic centers, he said,
already has been impeded by the
delay in acting upon the nomination.
AS soon as Senator, Vandenberg
finished, Senator McKeller, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee. leading foe of
Mr.. Lilienthal, called up another
witness to tell about alleged Com
munist activities in the Tennessee
Valley Authority. Mr.. Lilienthal
formerly headed IVA.
The witness, Mrs. Roxie J. Paris
of Fountain City, Tenn, said she
had joined the Communist Party in
Tennessee in 1899 in order to get
evidence which she said later was
presented to the House un-American
Activities Committee.
Withdrew From Party.
Mrs. Paris, under, questioning by
Senator McKellar, said she attended

$50 Million Relief
For Liberated Nations
Is Asked by Truman
Congress Urged TO Act
Swiftly to Provide
Food and Medical Supplies
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today asked
Congress to appropriate $780,
900, 900 for the relief of people of
liberated countries to meet needs
occasioned by the impending
end of the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton.
This help the President explained,
will tide the recipients over until
the harvests come in. Mr. Truman
stressed that swift legislative action
is necessary" if aid is to be ex-
tended in time.
He said the American contribu-
ton should be used only for pro-
viding the basic essentials of life,
such as medical supplies, food and
items which will aid in the produc-
ton of foodstuffs." It will be ad-
ministered under American control,
he said. .t
= UNRRA Operations End Soon.
Both humanitarian grounds and
"our own self interest" dictate ex-
tension of this aid, Mr.. Truman
said.
UNRRA is scheduled to wind up
its operations March 81, although
winding up activities underway will
continue beyond that date. The
Presidents United States relief &C
tivities in occupied countries. such
as Germany and Austria, are fin
anced by the War Department.
There have been complaints in
Congress about UNRRA's admins
tration methods. Some legislators
contend it's services have been used
to support governments unco-opera-
tive with the United States.
The President made no reference
to this, but recommended that fu-
ture United States relief assistance
be given directly rather than through
an international organization, and
"be administered under United
States control"
The text of the Presidents mes
sage follows:
81 recommend that the Congress
authorize the appropriation of not
to exceed $350,0O0,000 to assist in
completing the great task of bring
ing relief from the ravages of the
war to the people of the liberated
countries.
OF Vital Importance.
''The period of full scale supply
operations by the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration is rapidly drawing to clase
In some of the liberated countries
UNRRA will have achieved its OBJ
jective fully. for these countries will
once again be self-supporting so far
as the basic essentials of life are
concerned. In other liberated coun-
tries, however, this is not yet the
case. Compared with what has al
ready been done, what remains to
be done is relatively small and linn
tied in time and scope, but none
theless vitality important.

in the light of our own self interest
as well, we must not leave the task
