Immediate CT Boost
UrgedBy Senator
Jim Murray

Senator James e. Murray last week
submitted a statement to Sen. Wayne
Morse (R., Ore.), chairman of the Vet
Grams Affairs subcommittee of the
! senate committee on labor and public
welfare, urging immediate favorable
action on legislation to increase the
subsistence allowances and overall in
come ceilings of veterans pursuing ed
vocational courses and on-the-job train
ing under the "GI Bill of Rights
During recent months" Murray
wrote, 81 have received great many
letters from individual veterans and
veterans organizations in Montana
which show clearly that today's in
flated living costs make it impossible
for students and on-the-jOb trainees
to meet their day-to-day basic living
expenses. Reliable national surveys
prove conclusively that under present
conditions the clear intent of congress
in enacting the 'GI Bill and amend
ments to provide veterans with the
opportunity to readjust themselves to
civilian life, is not being carried out
and cannot be accomplished unless
these increases to meet higher living
costs are granted"
81 have also received urgent re-
quests from number of individual
veterans and veterans organizations
for the elimination of the present two
year restriction upon other on-the-job
training programs, because it affects
adversely those veterans who are pur-
suing legitimate training courses in
highly specialized occupations which
actually require a longer period OF
training.
81 am sure that your sub committee
fully appreciates the need for prompt
action. 1 hope that it will consider
these problems realistically, in the
light of existing economic conditions,
and recommend the immediate enact
ment Of legislation which will enable
student and trainee veterans to pursue
their courses without hardship to
themselves and their families"

a copy of the report, then the
following brief highlights as
reviewed by Federated Press
should give you pretty de-
cent picture why John l.. Lewis
and his miners present such a prob
lem" to the government and the OPP
orators:
The report is presented in an inter
esting way, with plenty OF photographs
showing conditions in the mining
towns. While it is. as one United
Mine Workers (AFL) representative
said, "a restrained document" it con-
tains many important facts.
In the areas visited by the survey
teams, for example, $40 of the houses
visited belonged to the coal COM
panies. The surveyors found that:
"The cheapest materials usually have
been selected for camp houses and
little thought has been given to gen.
eral appearance. The result often is
a group of boxlike structures, giving
an impression of monOtOnOus uniform
ity"
They describe the average company
house as "of frame construction, about
20 feet square, This one-story dwell
ing contains four rooms. 1t has no
closets and no bath. 1t has an asphalt
composition roof and wood siding.
"The house is supported above
ground on wooden posts or masonry
piers and has no basement. Only oc-
casionally has any attempt been made
to insulate the house for economy of
heating in winter or for GOODNESS in
summertime The dwelling is heated
by coal stove or CRATE.

still a rare item in the houses miners
and their families occupy in coal-min-
ing camps. Of the 1,154 company

tanned bathrooms in which there were
either tubs or showers, or both.
During the survey, the investiga
tors often found houses standing Graz
lily askew, due to rotting or settling
of the wooden supporting posts. The
fault most frequently observed, how
ever, was weakened, broken, or de
cayed portions of porches and stoops.
For example, in one camp there is
g house whose front and side porches
are separated from the dwelling prop
er, and anyone entering or leaving
the house risks breaking an ankle or
leg The roof says, walls are cracked,
and, in short, one wonders how the
building can withstand anything
stronger than wild breeze
Sanitary conditions were found by
the surveyors to vary considerably
but were generally worse in company
towns. Sewage disposal facilities
were inadequate for 1870 of company
owned houses as compared with only
800 of houses privately owned.

TRUMAN AID IS A
BRIBE, States
WALLACE

Henry Wallace Saturday night be-
fore a huge, Austin Texas, crowd
asserted that the Truman GrecO-Turk-
ish doctrine was international carpet
bagging based on a $400,00000 bribe.'
Regarding the presidents plan, the
former secretary of commerce stated:
ut breeds hatred and hysteria-it
certainly leads to larger armies and
not smaller armies all over the world"
He said that in debating aid to the
Greeks and Turks, congressman "of
all faiths spoke out to assert it is
irresponsible and foolish to further
divide the world, and to offer as our
contribution in an all out contest
against Russia a $400,000,000 bride"
Wallace said the doctrine is plan
"of unlimited aid to anti-Russian gov
ernments including relationships. Why
military funds are needed for Greece
and Turkey never was made clear"
Wallace said. What the next steps
are has not been disclosed to u.s."
Continuing the attack he launched
several months ago on the presidents
program, Wallace said the administra-
TONS plans are not in spirit with the
administration of the late President
Roosevelt
There was no question then of
Europeans politics, Wallace said
I'VE saw Europeans as men and WON

That was the spirit in which we fought
the war, In that spirit the United

HAVE YOU had ENOUGH?

Editor, Peoples Voice
"Have you had enough" why com
plain, the voters of Montana got just
what they voted for last election, they
wanted the OPA done away with and
private enterprise to rule-that is hire
whom they wanted, at wages they
wanted to pay, and charge any prices
they wanted. Those that did not vote
last election are just as much to blame
as those that voted for so-called free
enterprise
Your comparison of prices though
was not fair-I would like to submit
the following prices as taken from the
files of daily newspapers of May, 1910,
May 1916 (under OPA) and present
prices.

happened. The soldiers girl friend,

musician, from a chair by her hair.
The manager threw both girls and
the soldier into the street. More SOL
diers tried to separate the girls,
who battled IN. A crowd of Italian
workers joined the fight, uprooting a

arrived to stop the escaping gas and
police tried to quiet the girls and
soldiers, finally arresting them.
At the Jail police found the girls
had been robbed. They were locked
up separately. Victorine tried to
strangle herself with a belt. jean

Want a Square Meal?
Try Cubed Hen Fruit

CHICAGO. - American fam
lilies soon will have a new morsel
to round out a square meal-a
square egg.
Cubed hen fruit, as a matter of
fact, already is a reality. The
idea was Matched by one David
Adams, a Concord, Mass, inven-
tor.
Actually the square egg is a
plastic cube designed to hold the
contents of a single egg with its
shell removed. The hens job
ends when she lays the egg. Sci
ence takes over from there.
Adams explained that his
square job consists of two parts
the bottom holds the contents
of an egg and the top clamps
over the sides, alright.
Breaking of the eggs, packag-
ing and sealing of the shells can
be done by automatic machinery,
he says.
According to the inventor, the
square egg won't break or roll
off the table. You save a lot of
space in packing it.

Gaboose, Long Time Symbol
OF Railroads, Goes Modern

LINCOLN, NEB.-Casey Jones
would wonder what they've done
to the old caboose.
Symbol of railroading for
years, it is being modernized,
filled with expensive electrical
equipment and promoted out of
the category of a train-crew flop
house.
1t started when engine-to-ca-
boose communications were in
stalled on the Burlington's %
mile stretch between Denver and
McCook, Neb. Cost of the new
electrically equipped cabooses
was too prohibitive to maintain
the old practice of changing them
at every division point.
Traditionally, cabooses stayed
with the crews to provide eating
and sleeping facilities. Now, the
crew leaves the caboose and is
met by a sleek station wagon,
which whisks the boys to a fancy
dormitory. The caboose goes all
the way through with the engine,
successive new crews boarding
at each division point.

Only Five British Ships
Fully Manned in Shake.Up

LONDON.-An Admiralty spokes-
man said that a cruiser and four de-
stroyers would be the only fully
manned warships of Britain's home
fleet while crews are being read
justed to fit manpower reductions in
the navy.
Other home fleet ships will retain
only skeleton crews. 1t is estimated
that about 5000 men will leave the
naval service between now and next
March. The spokesman declined to
give details on the home fleet, but
the British Press association said it
normally numbered more than 100
ships, with a personnel of about TO-
900.
MANY ships will be temporarily
immobilized for a time," the spokes-
man said, 'but in an emergency
they could get into action quickly"
