on October 81, 1889, when he said
I'VE have always been of the opinion
that a strong Germany is indis-
pensable to the condition of a dur

quiet backing of France won friends
IN Western Europe, while at the
same time his demand for a return
of some Eastern agricultural land
now administered by Poland and

Germany into "congested slum," !"

What ultimate value these propa-

50 Are Feared Dead
As Gale Puts 3 Ships
Onto British Rocks
By the Asseeioied Press

LONDON, April "a. Fifty sea-
men were feared dead today in
a storm that swept three ships
onto Britain's rocky coasts and
brought distress calls from yes
sells fighting mountainous seas
on three sides of the isle.
The 7,000-ton British tanker Sam
tampa smashed into rocks off Porth-
swal, Wales, and the British Press
Association said her crew of AZ was
believed lost. Eight lifeboat men
perished trying 20 rescue them.
The 81 ,000-ton British battlesf1ip
Warspite, veteran of two wars, was
breaking up on the Cornish coast
near Penzance and coast guardsmen
said it would be impossible to re-
float her.. Her crew of eight salvage
workn,en, who had been taking her
to the junk heap, was saved.
Tfawler Runs Aground.
The PISTON trawler Benghazi went
aground on tiny Fladda Island, in
the Firth of Lorne off Northwest
Scotland, but her IA crewmen were
reported to have landed safely on a
nearby island after escaping in a
small boat.
The storm, with gusts up to 100
miles an hour, tossed huge waves
over the promenades at coastal
towns on the English Channel and
the North and irish Seas
The disabled American freighter
Robert H. Harrison, her propeller
gone, broke loose from a tug towing
her toward the Irish coast and
drifted helplessly for hours until the
tug got another towline aboard. The
Harrison, 7,181 tons, sent distress
call last Saturday.
The American merchant ship
Orbis radioed that her steering gear
had snapped in the storm 80 miles
east of Start Point on the Devon
coast, but reported no immediate
danger.
Crew Seen in Rigging.
The Samtampa crashed and broke
into three parts before dusk last
night and as darkness closed in
hundreds of Welsh folk lining the
beach could see crewmen clinging to
the rigging. A lifeboat put out dur
ing the night in a rescue attempt.
Later the boat was found capsized
with no trace of the crew.
The Warspite, which had been en-
route from Portsmouth to the Clyde
to be broken up, was held fast by a
rock midway in a small fishing cove,
about so yards off shore. Her bows
were under water and her forepart
waterlogged.

District Drafting Bill
To Gain Part Time
Control Of Arnory

A fight over control Of the use Of
the Districts National Guard Ar
mory for community sports, civic
and entertainment events was fore
seen today.
The Commissioners, it was learned,
are drafting bill to divest Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox and the Ma
tional Guard of control over the
building when 1t is not being used
for drill.
Gen. Cox, who has asked Congress
twice before to write it into law
that the Guard should control all
use OF the 81 zoe, 900 building, said
today he feels now that mo spe-
cial legislation" is needed to fix
control of the building, soon to be
vacated by the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation. He would fight the
new bill, he said.
Text Is Kept Secret.
District officials refused to divulge
the text of the new bill, but it is
believed they are in favor of having
the District Recreation Board con-
troll the armory when it is not In use
for military purposes.
The recreation board asked for
such control in February, contend
ing it is the logical agency to ham
die community events.
There were indications today that
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission also would enter
the controversy If the new bill is
anything like previous bills sought
by Gen. Cox. These bills carried a
provision that would have written
the Commissioners blank check on
using the land adjacent to the
armory for a parking lot and drill
field.
Shift is Opposed.
The planners, as well as National
Park Service, have opposed the shift
in land control.
The land was bought by the plan
ners for the proposed National
Sports Center and National Stadium
and turned over to the park serv-
ice. Plans call for a drill field and
parking area, too, but the planners
fear the Commissioners might To-
cate drill and parking facilities so
they won't tie in properly with the
center and stadium plans.
There were indications the new
bill might carry the same or a
similar land control provision.

Moscow
Continued From First Page)

Moscow-Germany, the proposed
four-power pact and to lesser ex-
tent Austria-are much more vital
than any involved in the satellite
treaties and the cleavages between
the East and West are greater.
Few of the western delegations
expected much progress, particularly
on Germany, during the present
meeting. But they got less than
their modest hopes.
They did not expect Russia to rip
the American-proposed 40-year de-
militarization pact for Germany to
shreds, and they did have some hope
of agreement on the comparatively
lesser issues in the Austrian treaty.
Some Gain Seen From Farley.
A few of the more optimistic
diplomats feel that something has
been gained by bringing the issues
into the open"
But it is pointed out by the
majority that most of the issues
have been in the open for months
either in Berlin or in previous four
power meetings, and now the powers
have solidified the issues with out
spoken demands or iron stands
against these demands.
Previously the positions of all
parties were somewhat vague and
capable of reconciliation without
concern for face-saving. Now any
settlement can only De reached
through a decisive retreat by one
power or another.
One concrete development diplo-
matically has come out of the con-
ference. That is a closer bond of
France with the Western Allies.
Despite every effort by French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault,
Soviet diplomacy on Germany
forced the French to throw in with
the Western powers on major issues
in order to protect fundamental
French security.
Briefly, Russia stood as she has
since the time of Lenin for a strong
centralized. industrialized Germany,
condition which the French fear
most.
Propaganda a By-Product.
What effect Soviet Foreign Min
lister Molotov's silence on the Saar
issue and demands for strong
Germany will have on the Com
munist Party in France remains to
be seen.
Another and perhaps chief by
product of the conference has been
propaganda. At times it appeared
that Mr.. Molotov's speeches were
aimed more at making friends and
influencing Germans toward COM
munism than on reaching minis
terial agreement in Moscow.
His repeated appeals for a united
Germany, his demands for a higher
level of industry, his program for
a strong central government and
TRADE against federalism as "diS-
membering Germany" all undoubt-
edly had weight within the zonal
halnstrung Reich.
But on the other hand the Soviet
iron stand against any rectifica-
ton of the Western Polish border
undoubtedly created unfavorable re-
action in Germany and may have
wiped out these gains. unless Mr.
Molotov should declare against
economic unity of the Saar with
France and thus balance one against
the other.
Generally speaking, the Sovie!
Foreign Minister'S policy appeared
to adhere to the traditional line laid
down by Lenin in october, 1917
when he wrote 'the principal link
in the chain of revolution is the
German link, and the success Of
world revolution depends more upon
Germany than upon any other
country"
U. S. Wins West Europe Friends.
It conceded, too. with Mr.. Molo-
TOYS prewar line which he defined

is. S. BOARD RECOMMENDS
DISABILITY INSURANCE

The payment of benefits to in
sured workers during periods o.
permanent total disability through
the expansion of the present Fed
eral Government program. of old-ags
and survivors insurance is one 81
the recommendations of the Social
Security Board in its eleventh anc
last annual report to Congress, Cecil
Cook, acting manager of the Mis-
soula office of the Social Security
Administration, said today
In July of 1916, the Board was
abolished, its functions transferred
to the Federal Security Agency,
and its organization designated as
the Social Security Administration.
The current report, required Of the
Board under the Social Security
Act, is for the fiscal years 1945-46.
In making its recommendation for
the inclusion of disability insurance,
the Board said wage loss suffered
by permanently disabled workers
and their families probably runs
about Si,5oo,o00,000 to $4,000, 000,-
600 a year.
Another recommendation of the
Board calls for the extension Of
coverage under old-age and sur
vivors insurance to all painfully en-
ployed workers. Persons not at
present able to earn protection I'M
der the program include those. en-
ployed in agriculture, domestic ser
vice. non-profit organizations and
Government service, and those who
are self-employed.
Mr.. Cook pointed out that this
recommendation was based upon ten
years of administrative experience.
which had demonstrated the feast
bility Of extension Of coverage to
the groups now without the pro-
lection of the program.
In addition to protecting the
groups now not covered the ex-
tension of the program would re-
duce the number of persons who
lose their rights to benefits by shift
ing in and out of covered employ
ment, he added
A third major recommendation
calls for changes in the method by
which old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits are figured to increase
the amount of the benefits, par
ticularlv for low-paid workers. The
general level of benefits should be |
raised, the report states, largely |
because of increased living costs. |
Other recommendations of the |
Board cali for increasing from So
BOO to $500 year the wages that |
nay be credited to the account of
any worker, thus expanding the
basis for determination of benefits,
and an increase in the amount Of /
a beneficiary may receive
n covered employment without
having benefits suspended.
The Board also recommended re-
auction of the qualifying age for
Ill women beneficiaries from IS to
20 years, -

TEN REASONS WHY

Following is a soliloquy from
one of The Western News readers
who was a rancher in Lincoln county
Tor many years. He has tried liV-
ing in Wyoming, but the appeal of
the Libby country was too much
for him and he has returned to Lin
coin county, the home of his youth.
His meditations follow;
Why was / born in Kansas?
Because my father and mother were
there.
why didn't they have a doc
tor? Because there were none there
3.-Why did my folks leave Kan
sas and go TO Wyoming? They were
more sure of crops and a living.
Why are there so many fires
from cigarettes? People are care
less and never look where they
throw the stub.
5.-Why do so many people cash
their checks? Because they wish
spending money in their pockets.
6.-Why not put your money in
a bank and write check? You will
spend only what you really need.
Why do people go to places
where they have to pay cash? First,
because you can't get credit.
8.-Why don't people pay cash and
save? Because they can get credit
and their jingle will last longer.
9.-Why does a man when he
comes home for dinner and it is
not ready, feel CROSSE. Because his
wife was out late playing cards, and
then she wants him to hurry and
eat SO she can get ready for her
club
l0-Why do some women start
calling on the phone at 1880 and
talk till 1920? Because they think
nobody else needs the line. and
they have nothing important to do.
