Handle With Care +. ATOMIC BOMB!

During the war, scientists developed
PAD for the determination of weeds
DOT for insects, 1880 for rats, and
ENC for men,
ENC is the Atomic Bomb, and its
potential to the worlds people is
taken up by Stuart Chase in a chapter
of his book For This We Fought, y
under sponsorship of the Twentieth
Century Fund, Boston. Chase goes on
to point out the choices we have be-
fore us in a way of life under the
Atom Bomb. The following is from a
chapter in his book.
Professor Einstein gave the last in
his theory of relatively forty years
ago, but it remained for the Manhat-
tan Project to demonstrate the COM
plete reliability of the formula. "E'
stands for energy in kilowatt hours,
"M'' for mass in Kilograms, &c" is the
speed of light-1S6,0 900 miles a sec
ond, as you know, the square of which
makes a very tidy sum. When a
chain reaction is set up in M, the re-
sulting energy released becomes some
thing which only the survivors of

to use tool-a thing no ape can do.
The Upper Paleolithic, $4,000 to TO-
900 BIC, brought great advance in
stoneworking. Experts could strike
off a longtime flake from core and
out of it make knives, arrowheads,
spear points, files, avis, scrapers, with
which to work wood, skin, and bone.
Later came the dog and the bow and
arrow; then canoes, netting, basket
ry Modern Eskimos, where uncor-
rupted by the white man, live life
similar to Upper Paleolithic. 1t was
still hunting and fishing culture.

MANY MONTANA FIRMS
VIOLATE WAGE-H0UR
ACT OF 1888

Butte, Sept. 20, 1947-Approximate
ly &c employers in Montana agreed
to make restitution of $13,S85 in back
wages to 100 employees because OF
violations of federal wage and hour
laws discovered during the fiscal year
ended June 80, it was announced today
by Mr. John M. Ekeberg from his of
flee in the Lewisohn building in Butte.
Mr.. Ekeberg, with Mr.. Anthony j.
Craig, represent the wage and hour
and public contracts divisions, U. S.
Department of Labor, in the State of
Montana.
The &c employers making this re-
stitution represent 38 percent of the
approximately SO employers whose
establishments were inspected during
the fiscal year for compliance with
the basic minimum wage and overtime
pay provisions of the fair labor stand
ards act and the public contracts act.
Actually 81 percent of the Mon
tana employers inspected were in
violation of the minimum wage or
overtime provisions of one or both
of the act. The remaining % per-
cent failed to pay back wages due.
Nationally, 40 per cent of the ap-
proximately 10000 establishments in
spected during the year were found in
violation of these provisions, and re-
stitution of $8,S64,000 was agreed to.
In Montana, violations of the over
time provisions of the fair labor
standards act were most frequent, Mr..
Ekeberg said. He pointed out that
all employees except those specifical-
Iy exempt must be paid at least 40
cents an hour and not less than time
and one-half their regular rate of pay
for all hours over 40 in a workweek.
The law applies to all employees
engaged in interstate commerce, the
production of goods for commerce or
in occupations necessary to such pro-
duction, he emphasized.
He urged employers in doubt about
application of exemptions provisions,
and calculation of bonuses and extra
OF special earnings, another cause of
overtime pay violations, to contact
his office for guidance.

KRJF Miles City, Sunday pointed out:
the Republican majority, controlled by
big eastern financial interests, sought
to cripple reclamation projects by cur
failing appropriations to such degree
as to practically eliminate them. West
ern senators fortunately were able to
restore partially the appropriations
which had been deleted by the house,
making it possible to carry the pro-
gram along. The appropriations, how
ever, were reduced to such a degree
as to delay greatly final construction
of these projects, thus adding to their
cost.
According to the Miles City Star,
this effort to stymie and destroy our
reclamation program is still on foot.
Senator Bridges expects to bring this
subject up at the next session and in
tends to rally forces opposed to rec
lamation so as to block or slow up
development of reclamation in the
west. All this, the Miles City Star
tells us, has caused Senator O'Mahon-
ey of Wyoming to point out that this
attack is the forerunner of opposition
which will be rallied against us in
the next congress-"
Similarly, in emphasizing the deter
mination of eastern financial interests
to handicap the west, Senator Murray
pointed to the current critical short
age of labor for Montana sugar beet
fields, stating:
"The Republican, controlled appro-
priations committees cut appropria-

operatives, to impair their service and
to weaken them so patrons will agree
to power companies taking over. 1t is
time that Bureau of Reclamation used
its power program and it's authorities
to protect interests of consumers
REA co-operatives. Montana has been
amazed at the revelation of two-faced
attitude of power companies which
claim there is a surplus of energy
when they are fighting MvA, and that
power is scarce when REA co-opera-
tives are attempting to get an ade-
quate supply to maintain good service
or establish new service.

Former OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles, who fought hard and well for
price controls places the blame for
the end of OPA squarely on the skill
! full propaganda campaign carried on
by the National Association of Manu-
facturers Immediately after VI Day
in 1916.
NAM Would Like To Forget Ads
Bowles quotes the advertisements
the NAM now denies publishing-ad
which said, Eliminate price controls,
all price control, including those on
food-and the production of all the
things we need will step up fast. Prices
will quickly adjust themselves to rea-
sonable levels"
"If you have forgotten those adver-
tisements," Bowles says, land the peo-
pie responsible for them, go to your
local newspaper and ask to see the
files"
Bowles does not expect an easy out
to the present price situation. He pre-
diets that during the next IL months
anything can happen. The Republican
created initiation may zoom still high

at the situation and Chairman B. Car
roll Reece of the Republican National
Committee admitted October that

high" And Reece added that we "have
here in the US. a serious degree of
initiation and we are threatened with
more" Reece, of course is blind to
the fact that the wiping out of price
control let business run hog wild and
caused the initiation. Instead, he con-
veniently blames the Democrats for
piling up the national debt-which
was caused by the war.

in the U.S., was much too strong medi
cine for the council itself and the
economists were sharply overruIed.
AS written for Truman's eyes, the
document tells the nations chief exec
tive only what the council thought he
wanted to hear. And the economists
boiling mad, have branded the final
study "cowardIy."
The situation is so alarming and
contains so much political dynamite
that the administration is afraid to let
the public have the facts. What is
actually going on, of course, cannot
be hidden from anyone who is willing
to go to the bother to add up the facts.
Here are few of the danger signals:
AS of August, 1947, all wholesale
prices are 105 per cent above the level
held at the outbreak of war. Whole
sale food prices are 157 per cent above
their mark at Pearl Harbor, and whole
sale meat prices are 218 per cent over
the 1912 level
Coupled with this, real income or
the purchasing power of the people,
has steadily declined since the wars
end; retail purchases have declined
along with home construction and in
dustrial production. Exports are off
and factory employment has been
dropping since April 1947.
What's wrong? 1t is the sabotage
of the national welfare by profit grab
bling industrialists who smashed OPA
with the aid of Senator Robert A. Taft
and the Republican-controlled 80th
Congress.
OPA Did Hold Prices Down
OPA, despite some weaknesses of its
own, had a record that cannot be dis
proven. 1t did hold prices down as the
following shows:
Without effective price control:
August 1889 to May 1913 (45 months)
wholesale prices rose 80 per cent.

Condemns Two-Faced Attitude
of Power Trust
The position of REA (Which was
also severely put for funds by the
80th congress) is no less critical than
that of reclamation. Witnesses at all
five of the hearings in Dillon, Lewis
town, Glasgow, Miles City and Bill
ings, asserted the power trust was
carrying on a vigorous campaign not
only to pick off REA co-operators,
but also to throw every possible block
ade in the way of REA Co-ops getting
materials and power. Taking cogniz-
ance of this, Senator Murray sent the
following telegram to Secretary of In
terror Krug asking that immediate
steps be taken to ensure square deal
for the REA Co-ops:
Julius Krug, Secretary
Department of the Interior

Our hearings on MVA in Montana
have developed fact that power COM
panies, although publicly claiming
that power is in surplus and no new
developments are needed, have told
numerous REA co-operatives that they
do not have power available for them.

IF ever there were examples
of the need for an integrated
authority type of development
for the Missouri basin, wherein
cooperation of all interested
agencies could be developed to
expedite overall planning for
the region, the cases for Mon
tana reclamation and rural
electrification are definitely to
the point. For, if the recent
informal MVA senate hearings
conducted by Sen. James E.
Murray did nothing else, they
emphasized the necessity of
abandoning the "appropria-
tions-by-piece-meaPp policies of
our congress.
Westerners, both pro- and anti-MVA,
alarmed over the definite attempt of
eastern interests operating through
the congress to destroy western rec
lamation, are giving this matter con-
siderable serious thought. They are
at loss to understand the determined
opposition of such men as Senator
Bridges Or, N.H) when all reclama-
ton projects are reimbursible and

A hot island battlefield is still
no paradise but it's cooling of

TAsHED by typhoons, shaken by the volcanic
IL rumblings of Mt Suribachi, and haunted by
the ghosts of the men who died there, Two Jima
is not even today - more than two years after the
Marines landed tropical paradise. But the
800 men of the armed forces stationed there seem
to like it. Hardly anyone has asked for transfer.
From the top of Mt. Suribachi, rising SIS feet
above the fiat level of the island, the place looks
desolate. The beach is still Uttered with
wrecked amphibious craft, half-tracks, bull
dozers, tanks and alligators.
On top of Suribachi there is rough monu-
ment, dedicated to the men who took part in the
celebrated raising of the flag there Every morning
there is fag-raising ceremony commemorating
the event. The monument is not large, nor is it
impressive, but it serves as an important reminder
SURIBAcEH steams and grumbles, and gives out
with small eruptions. Inside the crater are caves
where the Japs took refuge and had to be burned
out. Some of the caves are still open. In them you
can still find Jap ammunition and bottles of saki.
On small rock called Kangoku, just off Two,
is stationed Fred Ellers Motor Mechanics Mate
with the Coast Guard. Kangoku was used by the
Japs as a prison rock for captured Americans.
Ellers has been there for IL months now, and
hasn't once worn pair of shoes. He takes a dim
view of Iwo and doesn't mind his isolation from it.
One island, he thinks, is very much like another.
He has been watching Two for year now
he has little else to do - and says the only
change is that it's little greener.
The other Coastguardsmen on the rock seem
more pleased with their assignment. Their duty is
isolated, they admit, but they do get movies on
occasion from the Army. and when weather per-
mits they 60 to the main island to play softball
against the Army.
This is Two Jima today It's no island paradise,
but it's still pretty tame for those who remember
the past Typhoons may rage and sweep the island.
But the new blasts can't compare with the old.
Mt. Suribachi is restless and threatens to erupt
and break the tedium. In its shadow, American
soldiers play softball.

1888, and the average weight of So
day old pigs that year was IL lbs.
Ten years of selecting gifts from
quick maturing litters have enabled
the Minnesota experimenters to pro-
duce pigs that make 233 average at
eight weeks of age.
Mr.. Barnes hastens to caution
Ohio farmers against ordering brood
stock from Minnesota because no
sows of the selected type are being
offered for sale. The University
specialist recommends a speed-up of
somewhat similar work being done
in this state.
Preble county has been doing
swine improvement work under the
direction of county agricultural
agent w. H. Bruner and of men from
the Ohio Experiment Station. This
Ohio work has been directed at de-
velopment of a type of hog which
would produce higher percentages
of desirable cuts rather than toward
rapid gains.
The Preble county system does re-
suit in selection of gifts from large
and thrifty itters so there is a con-
sistent improvement in brood sows.
The Minnesota experiments indicate
there are further possibilities in ex-
