"Porky'' SeIIars
Makes Cut Bank
Jail House,

''Porky" Sellars, SO, is known
10 have put in many a hard days
work and a large percentage Of
them in the skilled bra c k t
around Babb, Browning and Cut
Bank, but his three-day prowls
around the bars and night spots
this week caught up with him.
Justice of the Peace C. S. Vim
son gave him a long time to Sob
er up in the county jail.
Sellars had been whooping it
up in Cut Bank for a couple of
days, according to the story from
the city police. and Chief of Pol
ice Jesse Harlan and staff had
been getting complaints about
celebrating visitors spelling for
fights and brow-beating the bar
tenders.
At las Monday night Harlan
and Patrolman Gene Shambour
had heard and seen enough. Sci.
lars had been making himself a
general nuisance and a menace
by threats and intimidation Of
patrons of the bar in which he
was carousing and people on the
street. They locked him up in
the city Jail.
He was hailed before Justice
Vincent Tuesday afternoon, and
the sentence for the drunk and
disorderly charge was 80 days in
the county Jail and 500 fine.
The Jail sentence, said Justice
Vinson, just to clarity the mat
ter. lis nailed down solid. -

Feathered Anglers

Feathered anglers have different
methods of catching fish. The osprey
hovers over the water, plummets
down, hits the water with a splash
and catches his quarry in his talons.
The kingfisher sits in a tree and pa.
tiently watches, catches 1t In
his long, pointed bill. The loon
swirns underwater to catch his prey,
while the eagle robs the osprey Of
his captured fish by forcing him to
drop it in flight. The eagle then
swoops upon the falling fish and
catches it in his talons, sailing away
to enjoy his stolen morsel on some
secluded crag.

Millions of my nieces and nephews
are increasing their take-home pay
by the simple, automatic Payroll
Savings Plan. Let's take one exam
pie. Suppose you tell your employer
that you want to take S6.25 of your
weekly pay in Bonds. In three weeks
the accumulation of S18.75 will buy
one SIS Savings Bond. Merely by
holding these bonds to maturity in
10 years you are raising your take
home income S2.08 every week. 1t
Is obvious that the so-called deduc-
ton for Savings Bonds is not de-
duction but a way for you to store
up and increase your earnings for
your future use.

Company Position Stated.
| The spokesman for the four COM
panies has said:
Management representatives Of
our four companies began bargain
ing with the representatives Of the
seven unions, the first negotiations
being held February 13. The num-
Der of demands the unions made
upon the companies average - per
union and would cost approximately
$38 900 900 annually. This represents
more than half Of the four COM
panies' payroll and also represents
four times the companies earnings
and 36 per cent of the total revenues
Of the four companies.
'"The demands In Washington rep-
resent about nine and a half mil
lion dollars, which is equal to half
of the total payroll Of the Wash
ington company and three times its
earnings and one-third Of its reye-
nue..
The four companies policy is to
pay wages which compare favorably
with other concerns in the COM
munity for work that requires SINH
lar SKIN and training. This policy
has been followed over the years
and is being followed today. Such
a policy is to the best interest of
the customers, the employees and the
owners, since good wages are essen
tial to getting and keeping good en-
ployes who can give good telephone
service. In accordance with this
policy, the companies have recently
carefully studied how their present
wages compare with the wages paid
by others, and have concluded that
there is no reason at this time for
changes in the general level Of their
wage rates.

Rocket Able to Reach Moon
Declared Possible by1055

An unnamed rocket capable OF
reaching the moon probably can be
developed by 1855, provided the
scientists are given black checks, !"
according to Willy Ley, German
born rocket pioneer.
Mr.. Ley, who has been working
IN the United States for a number
OF years and now is associated with
the Washington Institute of Tech
nology, made the prediction last
night at meeting of the National
Capital Astronomers in the Com
merce Department auditorium.
Within five or 10 years after de-
veloping the unnamed projectile,
he said, it should be possible to
produce passenger-carrying rocket
able to circle the moon and return
to earth.
The first actual space travel
probably will take place within the
next 20 years." he declared.
Circling the moon appears to be
the most spectacular feat likely
with presently known liquid fuels,
Mr.. Ley said. However, atomic pow-
er gives promise of means of max
ing landings there and taking off
again for return trips.
The problem is one of finding a
means of greatly increasing the
exhaust velocity in order to keep
the ratio of fuel weight to total
weight low, he explained.
To get there and back with the
best known chemical fuel-liquid
hydrogen burned in pure oxygen
would require load of fuel 14o
times the weight of the rocket

Phone Unions Charge
Sailing on Wages,
File Strike Notices

The National Federation Of Tele.
phone Workers last. night charged
the Nations telephone companies
now engaged In wase talks. with
"stalling" In the hope that Congress
would pass legislation that viii
give the companies 4 bargaining
advantage"
Charges were made by Joseph A
Beirne, president OF the independent
union which claims to represent
more than 100000 workers in all
branches Of the industry.
Meanwhile, an official spokesman
for the four Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Companies, operating in
the District. Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia, issued statement
declaring representatives Of the
seven unions have made demands
totaling 438, 600 900 annually. He
asserted there Is no reason at this
time for changes in the general
level Of their wage rates" and added
that the unions rejected the COM
panies' offer to extend present con-
tracts.
1--WE are still in process Of bar
gaining with all seven Of the unions
in the group Of four companies" he
said.
Should negotiations break down
the national union has set April 7
for telephone strike.
Strike Notices Filed.
The Beirne statement, which
was released here, came close after
announcement that 3e-day strike
notices had been filed with the
Government by telephone unions in
at least IS States, representing more
than 100000 workers. The notices
were described by one union official
as a mere formality to keep within
the law in case negotiations break
down.
Meanwhile, officials of two Wash
1ngton unions representing more
than 5000 employees of the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co. re-
ported they were making "little
progress in their talks with COM
pany officials.
Both the Washington Telephone
Traffic Union, made up Of more than
5000 operators, and the District
Federation Of Telephone Workers,
representing another 5000 employees
IN plant, accounting and commercial
departments. filed strike notices Fri
day.
Mrs. Mary E. Cannon, president
OF WITH, said no wage proposal
had been made by the company, al
though the union had asked a $12
a week wage increase for all work.
ers. Helery Robinson, president of
DFTW, took the same stand. The
flrst group has been negotiating with
the company since February II, and
the second group since January 27,
according to union leaders.
Both contracts expire March 81,
they said. Contract talks here re-
sumo tomorrow.
All Proposals Rejected.
Mr.. Beirne declared:
After more than q month Of con-
tinuous bargaining. not one Bell
telephone company has offered a
penny Of wage increases. They have

were said to approve the bound
aries proposed by the minority
Federalists which would give the
Jews roughly three main areas OF
the Holy Land. These are the
Eastern inland are of Galilee IN
the North, the coastal strip OF
central Palestine including Haifa
and Tel Aviv, and the inland areas
of the Souther semidesert OF Ne
geb. Arab areas would consist OF
coastal Galilee, inland central Pal
estine and those regions of Negeb
touching the Mediterranean and
Egypt.
Aother reported cause Of dis
pute among the committee men,
bers ~favoring partition was the
line of division in Jerusalem and
Bethlehem. There were sugges-
tics to cut Jerusalem in two, to
give all Of the city to one or the
other of the two projected states
or to create a Jerusalem free
state under bi-national or inter-
national control.
In the Federalists' plan the
Jerusalem. problem Is solved by
the creation OF a federal area.
Disagreement also developed in
the ranks Of the majority. it was
said, on whether the proposed
Jewish state should have the right
to permit unlimited Jewish immi-
grafton. One proposal before the
committee calls for the admission
of $50, 900 Jews to each area dur
ing a two-year transition period,
but this has been opposed by some
delegates.
The minority has proposed that
the immigration policy be control

sentation.
