it is estimated by competent authorities that
it would require so years of care to restore
these lands to their original value as grazing
territory
This devastation Of the grazing lands has
brought about losses in other ways that are
incalculable. The stripping away of the
grass has brought about the loss of topsoil
which is being washed away at the rate of
millions of acre feet every year. The Collier
article cites an example in the Elephant Butte
dam which was to guarantee water to New
Mexico forever, and now the state is already
concerned over it's water supply as the Rio
Grande deposits 10000 acre feet of silt in
the dam each year.
This is an issue of the most supreme i'm
portance to Montana, and if the public lands
committee of the house holds hearings in the
state this year, they should be carefully OBJ
served and testimony in behalf of the people
of the state, not just for the stockmen, pre-
sented.

A Note To MIR. Worden

Great Falls Tribune
Great Falls, Montana
Dear Mr.. Worden
Early last week the front page of the "Trb" carried
article endeavoring to link Henry Wallace
reds in testimony given by Walter S. Steele
before the house un-American committee
In fairness to Mr. Wallace and the New Republic
well to your readers, do you not think it would
be advisable to publish pertinent information re-
garding Mr.. Steele. Here it is:
Steele edits a magazine called the National Republic
This magazine branded fascist by the u S. Army
intelligence in 1912 during the war; in response to
query from Puerto Rico about using in its schools
The army intelligence stated fatly: National Re-
public should not be allowed in the schools of Puerto
Rico"
Further, there reason to believe that Mr.
Steele should have been of the recipients of the
Iron Cross mentioned by the late FDR since as
early as 1888 Walter s. Steele gave endorsement to
nazi propaganda book which was also endorsed bv
Adoph Hitler.
In view of these facts, seems to me that Steele's
testimony before the Thomas committee should he dis
counted for what it isnothing another episode in
the smear Wallace campaign of a number of influ-
entail people in both the republican democratic
parties.
In view of your long record of FAIRNESS in
publishing the Tribune | am sure you will want to
give your readers the benefit above facts that
they decide for themselves worth of such test
mony as Steeles before the infamous Thomas (Deis)
committee
Yours very truly,
HARRY l.. BILLINGS.

Reed-Buwnkle bill which would give the railroads al
most absolute authority to into combinations to

what equipment shall be built and how it shall be used
practically free from any government regulation in
the public interest
Instead of having to ask the Interstate Commerce
Commission for approval of the Acknowledgment rate
increase the railroads seeking, they would
simply have file notice their proposed
rates If the l. c. c. did find within 60 days
that the proposed schedules in conformity
with transportation policy forth in the Interstate
Commerce Act the rates would go into effect auto
matically.

the senate hurdle first, 60-27, and,
when congress reconvenes in Jan

will have little trouble. The only

two houses can keep this plum of the

"c S"SoSo b0Hy tNSWs
BERLIN, Nov. Ex-senator Brew
ster, Republican, of Maine declared
here this week that he will recon-
mend measures to permit American
commercial airlines to operate inside
Germany.
Senator Brewster, who heads a
Joint Air Policy Committee of 10
Senators and Representatives, came
here on an unscheduled visit to
confer with military government
officials. He said that after his talks
here he felt no special legislation
would be required, as administrative
changes would be sufficient to
achieve his purpose.
At present there is no commercial
air service available for German
passengers, mail or freight. Surren-
der terms stipulate that Germany
will be permitted no military or civil
aviation of its own.
Germany's situation in this respect
was described thus by one official:
1--WE are trying to get Germany back
on something like its self-sustaining
basis. But it is apparent that, COM
pared with surrounding areas, 1t
remains in the OK cart stage"
Commercial airlines will be only
too happy to provide internal Ger
many service. it Is indicated, as
certain conditions can be met.
Among these conditions are:
/. Payment for travel Of Gov
eminent personnel, now handled
through the Air Force subsidiary
called European Air Transport
Service
2. Increased opportunity to use
income in marks German currency
derived from carrying German
passengers and freight. Treasury
regulations limit this severely now,
3. Operation of airfields by Civil
Aeronautics Authority personnel.
The Air Force has made good
record, but turnover of technical
men worries the airlines.
Senator Brewster is accompanied
here by Representatives Bulwinkle,
Democrat, of North Carolina, and
Carl Hinshaw, Republican, of Cali
fornia, and DR.. Edward Warner,
president of the International Civil
Aviation Organization.
Senator Brewster's committee is
to report its findings to Congress
| in February.

innate their labor needs for next
spring. The service also plans to
appoint farm placement supervisor,
Mr.. Stetser said. The change will
mean that the employment service
will handle the placement of mi
gratory farm workers as we'll as
workers from within the state.
During the war, the service handl-
ed the placement of migratory can
merry workers only, while the pro-
curement of all farm workers, in
cluding migratory workers and
foreign labor, was left to the ex-
tension service and the u. S. De-
parement of Agriculture. What
agency if any will import foreign
workers next year has not yet been
determined. Meanwhile, two Of the
farm labor camps used to house
imported workers during the war
are to be sold. These are the
camps at Woodside, where there
are AZ cabins, and at Cool Springs,
II miles from Georgetown, where
there are 80 cabins.
Labor Camps To Be Sold
The sale is to be conducted under
a law adopted by the Eightieth
Congress, calling for the DISPOSE
tion of farm labor camps to public
or semi-public agencies, or to nom
croft associations of farmers. Un-
der their ne woWnership, the camps
are still to be used for housing ag-
ricultural workers, the law pro-
vides. Groups interested in ac-
quiring the camps are directed to
communicate with c. E. Herdt of

the continued separation of the

employment.

OPEN JR. RED
CROSS DRIVE
State Schools Hope To Reach
Goal of 100 Percent
Enrolment
WRAP XMAS GIFTS

With four Delaware schools
jumping the gun," and already
fully enrolled, the Junior Red Cross
enrolment drive will open Nov. 1
and continue until Nov. Is in the
schools of the state. A 100 per
cent enrolment for service in every
school is this years goal. An
nouncement of the drive has been
made by Lammot DUPONT, Jr.,
chairman of the Delaware Chapter,
American Red Cross, in a letter to
superintendents and principals of
the schools. Mr.. DUPONT expressed
the hope of surprising last years
total of 96 per cent enrolment in
the states schools. "Our Schools
Serve Our World" is the drives
theme and this year the chapter
will stress service, not only to the
children of other lands but also
service to the community. Supplies
are being sent to Delaware schools
this week. Without having receiv-
ed supplies, the following schools,
under the Leadership of their teach
er-sponsors, have reported 100 per
cent enrolment: Commodore Mac
donough at st. Georges, Mrs. S.
Frances Stavely; Ursuline lower
school, Mother Mary Joseph; Mary
C. I. Williams, Miss Eleanor Stirl-
ing, and Frederica, Joseph Kephart,
principal. The campaign has been
endorsed by DR.. George R. Miller,
Jr., state superintendent of public
instruction; DR.. Ward I. Miller, su-
perintendent of Wilmington public
schools, and the Rev.Leo W.O'Neal,
superintendent of the parochial
schools of the Catholic Diocese.
Posters are being placed in estab-
lishments in the city and state urg-
ing the pupils to "get in STEP" and
"join the march for service" Even
a penny donation will enable pu-
pill to enroll in the junior unit.
Fifty cents per room for each ele-
mentary school and one dollar for
every 100 pupils in the secondary
schools will be used for subscrip-
tions to the Junior Red Cross news,
and the Junior Red Cross journal,
national magazines. The remand
er will be set up as Junior Red

Delaware Chapter and used to car
ry on local and international pro-
jects by the group. Members of

ATTY. GEN. RIVERS
 CONTINUES FIGHT
 ON s RATE BOOST

Territorial Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers said today that his office is now preparing a petition, which it will file with the U. s. Maritime Commission in | Washington, D. C., protesting proposed rate increases by steam ship companies serving Alaska. The petition, which must be filed before May IS, will ask that the proposed 35 percent overall increase in tariffs be suspended pending the outcome of hearings on the justification of the rate hike.
 Rivers, who returned here yester day from a trip to the nations Capital, took part in Congression- al hearings on Alaska's statehood and completed preliminary ar arrangements to combat the steam ship companies demand for high CT rates. He said that Attorney David Scoll will handle all ar engagements for the Territory, in Washington, until after the peti- ton has been acted upon. After that, Rivers said, arrangements for legal representation are still up in the air.
 The Attorney General also said that he will publish his own per sonal report within the next few days, in which he will list his ac- tivities in Washington and make his recommendations to the peo- pie of Alaska for the Territorys future.
 Favorable Tc Statehood
 From his observations Of the hearings on statehood for Alaska, Rivers said that he believed the majority of the committee were

favolably impressed at the case presented by the Territory. He added that some committee mem- bers are not convinced, however, that the Territory has developed far enough to assume an inde- pendent status. This was the only reason, in the opinion of Rivers, for any opposition to the statehood plan. He said that he believes the committee will be favorably impressed, however, when it's mem bers make their scheduled trip to Alaska this summer. Rivers pre- diets a positive vote from the ma jority of the committee, when Congress reconvenes next year. He believes that it is only a question of time before Alaska is granted statehood.
 While enroute home from Wash ington, Rivers stopped off at sev- eral Pacific Coast cities. He said that prices in Seattle and San Francisco are still high, but that Portland has begun to level off and prices there. he said, are more reasonable than in most cities. He also reported that travel by air is easier now than it has been in some time and that he had no trouble in securing plane reserva- tions during his trip. Rivers said that his biggest difficulty was in securing hotel accommodations and that was because of the many conventions now being held which are overflowing the better hotels.
