Stond Against
Illegal GombIing

Helena-WPl-The executive com
mittee of the Montana Council OF
Churches, speaking for 10000 mem
bers of $50 Montana churches, has
officially declared war on illegal
gambling in Montana.
Meeting here, the committee voted
to set up a permanent seven-man
committee of social education and
action.
The committees first act will be
to contact outstate ministers to
''acquaint them with the gambling
law as it now stands and the re-
course they have to take similar
action" according to the Rev Rob-
ert H. Prentice, Helena, council
secretary
Prentice and the Rev. H. L. VALID
ron, Helena, led off in the church
battle against illegal gambling in
the state when they sWore out war
rants which resulted in raids on
alleged gambling houses in Wolf
Creek and East Helena.
The raids, on the Oasis, operated
by Fred Tenkotte, and Fred Mum
ier's "Frenchy's Drive Inn" Wolf
Greek, Melted slot machines a rou-
lette wheel and money punch
boards.
The ministers said the raids on
East Helena were failures, because
we found only two slot machines"
Prentice said that the councils
responsibility goes out into the
whole state to provoke similar
thought among church and lay lead
ers."
Named to the social education and
action committee were Rev. VALID
ron, Helena; Prentice; the Rev. |
Floyd Logee, Butte; Mrs. Beatrice
Kreis, Sidney, State WCTU presi-
dent, and the president of the Mon
tana temperance union. Two more

state on all matters of social edu- /
cation and moral action"

@. Do the premiums on National
Service Life Insurance increase as
the insured grows older?
A. No. The premiums to be
paid on any form of the insurance
are established according to the age
of the person insured at the effective
date of the insurance; that is, a
person 80 years old at the time
the policy was taken out will pay
a higher premium than the in
dividual who took out a similar
policy at Is.

this bank was operated. Romney
had been a good fellow, and al
lowed some of the boys to over
draw their accounts, and when
they failed of reelection, they al
SO failed to make good their
overdrafts.
When the Republicans came in
last January and put their own
Sergeant-at-Arms in, a short
age of $121 900 was discovered.
Romney has been sentenced to
prison, and bonding company
has made good part of the short
age.
Now the taxpayers are to have
the privilege of putting up the
rest. If Congress wants to run
little private bank up at the
Capitol just for its own conven-
fence it might be a good idea to
have a bank examiner drop In
occasionally. When the next de-
duction is made from your pay
check for income tax, just re-
member that you are chipping In
to help the boys on Capitol Hill.

TRUCK MINE OPERATORS
GO ON STRIKE

An unusual strike" of nearly
400 truck mine operators, en-
ployfng some 5000 miners was
called Monday by the Letcher
County, KY, Truck Mine Opera
tors Association.
The strike is unusual in that
it was not called by the United
Mine Workers and does not in
volve the union except that the
miners are out of work while the
strike lasts.
1t appears that the ramp own
ers buy coal from the truck OPP
.erators, load it, and sell in the
market. The operators say that
the local price for which they
sell their coal is $40 ton in
Letcher County. The ramp own
ers sell the coal for about $500 a
ton. The operators asked for a
raise in price, which the ramp
owners refused to grant Luther
Bates, spokesman for the mine
owners said, II guess We'll just
loaf awhile"
Although not involved in the
strike, the miners union is anx-
ious to see the dispute settled, as
its members will be out of work
for the duration.

SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS"

Tucked away in voluminous
appropriation bill passed by the
House of Representatives last
week was this tim:
For compensation, mileage
and expense allowances due and
unpaid to members of the House
of Representatives, 10th and pri-
or Congresses, $38,879.22."
Now the 8Oth Congress is just
about to end its first session. Its
members are already running for
election to the 81st Congress next
year. But no member of h e
House asked, when this item was
reached, why the poor fellows
in the 10th Congress didn't get
their money.
Now it is explained that the
real purpose Of this $83,879.22
item-though it wasn't explain
ed in the House-is to reimburse
House members for money they
lost in bank managed for their
convenience by the former Ser
geant- Arms, Kenneth Romney.

had ben no check .on the way
