Win bets for showing vacationers
a fIeetlng view of an American
elk.
For on the Dalimata ranch
along the Flathead's Middle Fork
lives Sunshine, cow elk extra
ordinary.
One June day in 1945, when
Marion and Ruthie Voss were
chasing a black bear away from
their herd of sheep, they came
on a starving month-old elk calf.
The girls brought the scared,
spotted infant animal to Mrs.
John Dalinata, their neighbor.
Sunshine became a bottle baby,
and then graduated to drinking
milk out of an old enamel kettle.
The calf thrived and developed
quite personality for a girl"
elk. She preferred sugar out of a
spoon. not chocolates from a box.

Wapiti Find Retreat
On Continents
Ceiling

Glacier National park is the
home of 1850 wapiti or Amer
lean elk, the animal that il or
der to escape the white man re-
treated from the seacoasts and
plains to near the continental
divide.
From the roof of the continent
the great deer that weigh up to
800 pounds and are best known
by the males spreading antlers,
have increased until they now
number $4,000 in Montana alone.
In 1885 Jacques Cartier, French
explorer, saw huge herds of elk
in the vicinity Of present day
Montreal, records Ernest Thognp-
son Seton, the late naturalist. In
1905, Captain George Weymouth
observed elk on Virginia's shores,
and in 1905 Lewis and Clark saw
large numbers on the Great
Plains.
Wapiti is a Shawnee Indian
word, and actually the preferred
name for elk.
Today two states that had
fewer elk in pre-white man days
are the home Of the largest wa
pitt herds. Until the present CEN
fury it was common practice to
destroy thousands Of wapiti for
teeth, horns and hides. Elk
county, Pennsylvania hasn't seen
an elk since 1867. A royal head
is an elk's antlers with seven
points on side, though bulls
with % points have been known.
Horns are shed in this area usu-
ally in March.
Calves weigh about 80 pounds
at birth, and are born in May.
While the cows are busy taking
care of the new arrivals, bulls re-
treat to h1gher elevations a1c
spend the summer growing new
racks"
It's not the great magnificent I
bull, whose head at later date
may grace a lodge room, who
leads elk herds, say naturalists,
but rather an old COW. Wapiti
trust her.

Hungry Horse will be on
the pan again, Monday MORN
ing
In a telephone conversa-
ton from Washington, Thurs
day, Congressman Mike
MansfieId's secretary, Jerry
Sullivan, said that the Hun
cry Horse hearing was at
the head of Mondays list.
Offering the community's
assistance was Dudley Greene
Columbia Falls chamber of
commerce head.
Up before the subcOmmit-
tee of the house apprOpria-
tons committee is the matter
of building a transmission
line from Kerr dam to the
Hungry Horse damsite, a
step essential to Hungry
Horse construction itself.
Bitter opponent of the trans
mission line, which will ev-
centrally lead to cheap and
abundant power, is the Mon
tana Power company, repre-
scented at the Washington
hearings by J. E. Correct, vice
president.
Aiding the fight for the
dam is that Hungry Horse
is the type of project that in
time will completely pay for
itself through power sales
and irrigation use of its
stored waters. Western SEN
atOrs and congressman, Re-
publicanS and Democrats

B ar Refugees
From u. S. Zone

WASHINGTON, D. c. (JPS)-
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson stated over the week
end that the new order barring
further admissions into displaced
persons camps in the us. occu-
patton zone of Germany was not
intended to stop the infiltration
of Jewish refugees into the zone
but was merely budgetary meas
ures. Mr.. Acheson said the order
was issued at the instance of the
War Department with the ap-
prova1 of the State Department.
General Lucius Clay, U. S. Mill
tary Governor at Nuremberg
denied that the decision to bar
further entries into DIP camps
was in any way linked with Brit
ish policy in Palestine. He said
exceptions would be made in GER
tain cases.

Local Group To

900 Jewish immigrants, it was an
nounced at a press conference of

Fight High Cost
Living In Yishuv

TEL AVN (Palcor)-The Brit
ish regime is charged with delib-
erately contributing to the un-
precedented high cost of living
currently plauging Palestine by
diVerting all Jewish earned dol
lars to the Empire pool and by
forcing Palestinians to obtain food
stuffs from leading areas where
prices are four and five times
higher than pre-war levels, al
though they are obtainable much
cheaper elsewhere.
The charges were made by DR..
Fritz Bernstein, head of the Jew
ish Agency's Trade and Indus
try Department, who told jour
nalists at a press conference here
that the country'S best economic
brains were working on means
of reducing the high cost of liv7s
ing index. To remedy the situa-
ton DR.. Bernstein demanded re-
vision of the Anglo-American
loading agreement in order to en-
able Palestine to obtain essential
commodities at cheaper prices and

NEW YORK, April 21, (Palcor)
Forty to fifty members of Brit
ish rump e ! d or, Revisionist
Youth Organization, "seized" a
room at the British Consulate
here recently for memorial serv-
ices for Dow Gruner and three
other Jews hanged by the British
in Palestine. They left only when
threatened with arrest by Sir
Francis Evans, British Consul
General.
Synchronizing their watches
with military precision, the
youths invaded" the Consulate's
office on the 18th floor of the
Cunard Building on lower Broad
way, coming in through sixteen
elevators, stairs and fire-escapes.
When the Consul refused to see
them they occupied the suite and
chanted kaddish (mourning pray
err for Gruner. Members of the
group made speeches denouncing
British policy in Palestine. The
demonstrators sang songs of the

UN Sessions

LAKE SUCCESS (WNS) - In
the wake of ringing plea by DR..
Abba Hillel Silver that the Unit
ed States take the lead in the
championing of the Jewish case
before the u. N. Assembly, there
were indications here that the
American delegation would most
likely adopt a policy of ''neutra-
lity."
DR.. Silver's plea came at a press
conference shortly before the con-
vening of the U. N. session. Sea-
thingly denouncing the British,
DR.. Silver made an open bid for
American championing Jewish
case.
In most delegations it was felt
that the attitude of the United
States would be the greatest fac
tor in determining the decision of
the Assembly. American stra-
tegic and oil interests in the area
are involved, as.well as the strong
support for Zionism in the United
States.

US; Kept Quiet

NEW YORK (Palcor)-The eff
feet on American public opinion
of the tensions in Palestine is
listed as one of three reasons for
failure to make public negotia-
tionS between British and u. S.
officials regarding a new multi
billion dollar loan for Britain,
Robert S. Allen reveals in his
Washington Undercurrent col
umn in Liberty magazine.
''The proposal has been busily
brewing behind the scenes for
weeks" Allen reports, Foreign
Minister Bevin discussed the mat

tary Marshall and John Foster
Dulles, his Republican adviser.
big question is timing the
public launching of the move.
That's a tough problem on three
counts: Congress, which was none
too cordial to the previous loans;
the strained situation in Pale
stine, Greece, and other hot spots;
and fear of a flood of demands
from other countries, particular
ly Russia"

General Assembly on Palestine, !"
DR.. Abba Hillel Silver, chairman

The total problem of meeting the
emergency thus created was made
more acute because of shortage OF
qualified teachers at all levels of in
struction."
Appropriations Increased.
A number of State legislatures in
creased appropriations for voca-
tional education. In Vermont, this
increase for the biennium went
from $4,000 in 1946-1947, to $685.
900 for 1947-1948 and TO $4,000 for
1948-1949. In Texas, the State Legis-
lature increased its appropriations
for vocational education more than
65 per cent above previous appropri-
ations.
New York, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Tennessee, Delaware, West
Virginia and Rhode Island voted to
increase salaries of vocational teach
ers to attract and hold able and
qualified teachers in school, shops
and classrooms.
Nearly all States made some pro-
vision for school financing. Della
ware, Indiana and Nebraska pro-
vided State funds for school build
ing construction. North Carolina
authorized districts to utilize bonds
and taxes to purchase garages,
