Stassen Urges Unity
OF Socialists, Capital
ForEconomic Freedom
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Harold E.
Stassen, only avowed Republican
presidential aspirant, last night
called on all sincere Socialists" to
unite with American capitalism in
the "modernization and rebuilding
Of economic freedom.
Speaking at the fourth annual
Nobel dinner of the American
Scandinavian foundation, the for
mer Minnesota Governor also de-
clared Russia would turn toward
economic freedom" If the United
States and European nations dem
onstrate rapidly mounting produc-
ton" while the SovietS economic
system continues to yield a very
low production"
Lie Also Speaks.
Trygve Lie, secretary general of
the United Nations, told the gath
ering that small countries learned
tduring the recent war that no
amount of cleverness and no amount
OF common sense, and no amount of
geographical position could save us
from becoming involved in the
troubles Of the outside world"
I'm ITSELF" he continued, "mem-
bership in the United Nations does
not mean that great many coun-
tries are involved in a situation
which they otherwise could hope to
escape. They are involved anyway.
What membership in the United
Nations does mean is that they have
the right and the opportunity to
share in regulating the interna-
tional relationships which are bound
to affect their own fortunes"
Hits Government Controls.
In his address Mr.. Stassen said:
Il hold that men cannot long
maintain true freedom to speak and
to write and to assemble and to
vote and to worship If they are
made dependent upon the will of
those in control Of government for
their food, their clothing, their shell
ter and their job
%" The evidence of history
and the experiences of these recent
years emphasize the dangers of con-
centration of power believe that
those of us who seek to advance
the freedom of men should invite
the sincere Socialists Of the world
to join with us in the moderniza-
ton and rebuilding of economic
freedom through capitalism and to
modify their traditional policy of
seeking centralized governmental
ownership and operation"

teachers Demand
Higher SoIories

Helena-U.P)-Since the State of
Montana has refused to assume its
Just share of the educational load, +"
the school teachers have taken mat
tiers into their own hands" to pre-
vent further loss of our teachers"
Robert A. Stoner told the United
Press.
The President of the Lewis and
Clark County Local of the Montana
Education Association said our 70
Locals representing $500 of the
States 1000 teachers in 43 counties
have been asked to refuse to sign
contracts unless school boards adopt
our salary schedules.
The next step would be to re-
fuse to work without a contract, "
the Helena (Bryant) Junior High
School teacher said.
Although teachers are conser-
vative, we've heard from our Locals
in Al counties so far" Stoner said.
He explained that of the Is sal
airy schedules, (which now are be-
ing submitted to school boards all
over the state" the lowest one pro-
vides a $4,000 annual salary mini
mum for teachers with two years
college training.
(That was the minimum provided
for in bill introduced in the 30th
Legislature by Sen. Tom Burke, r.,
Billings. The measure was killed.

Old Papers Bring
Beck Memories

Allen, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. v.
Kreymer of this place is a pretty
good connoisseur of old books, news
papers and souvenirs of early days
in Montana and the nation. While
only a freshman in the Libby High
School, = Allen has devoted much
time to collecting and pouring over
interesting newspapers of the past.
Two of his favorite papers, while
maybe not so old as some others,
are copies of The Western News
published back in October and Nov
ember of 1919.
Young Kreymer brought his two
favorite newspapers in for The
Western News editor to look over
and enjoy some of the articles
which Allen has found so interes-
ting. Chief among the articles are
stories about Ole Hanson, one time
stump orator for F. Augustus Heinze
of Montana fame. Later Hanson
went to Washington State and
eventually became mayor Of Seattle,
where he leapt into the national
spotlight by nipping the big Seattle
/. w. w. movement in the bud.
Another interesting article in the
old Western News of October 49,,
was a vivid description Of the big
Calgary Stampede, written by Ted
dy Blue, famous old time Montana
cowman, whose telling of the ia
nous event loses nothing of its fla
vor from Blues cowboy vernacular.
Maybe Aliens favorite article
though, is the story printed in the
issue of November 81, 1919, telling
Of the life of Ekalaka, the Indian
girl for whom the county seat of
Carter county, the southeastern
county in Montana, was named. The
story of Ekalaka and her white
husband. David RUSSELL known af-
fectionately as "Old Russ" outdoes
many works of thrilling fiction, and
is a true saga of the Old West.
MANY other thrilling stories of the
"Old Days" appear in the files of
early day newspapers, and among
we'll known names of the present
days, are those of Sheriff Frank
Baney, Frank Siegmund, J. F. Fen
messy, Bill Cady, and many others.

U. N. DELEGATES
 STUDY NEW PLAN,
 ATOMIC CONTROL

LAKE SUCCESS, June 12.-tR- United Nations atomic delegates went to work without delay today on Soviet Russia's new detailed plans for international atomic con- trol. This temporarily sidetracked another battle over the veto.
 Meeting as the working commit tee of the 12-nation Atomic Energy Commission, the same delegates who heard Soviet Deputy Foreign Min ister Andrei A. Gromyko unfold his plan yesterday discussed how much of it should be considered in their committee and how much should be shunted to the Commission Policy Committee which is specifi- cally studying controls.
 The working committee had been slated to take up Soviet proposal which seeks to overturn majority decision in the Commission that no veto shall apply on atomic punish ments. The delegates felt, however, that they must decide first on how to tackle the latest Soviet control proposals.

PARK SERVICE MEN
 GUESTS TODAY Al
 CCLUNCHE0N MEET

Robert c. ha.-, chief of the Land scape Division, U. s. National Park Service, told Juneau Chamber of Commerce members at their lunch con today he was most favorably impressed with Juneau and the sur rounding country and mentioning particularly the Glacier Bay area, which, in his opinion, has great tourist possibilities
 The travel trend in the States is on its way up, Hall stated, and pointed to the shortage of trans portation to Alaska as one of the serious drawbacks to tourist travel to the Territory at this time. More than 800 names are on the Canadian Pacific Railway waiting list in San Francisco alone, Hall said.
 Seccnding Halls sentiments re- garding Alaska were three other of ficials of the National Park Service: :: Scofield DeLong, Regional Architect, A. C.. Kuehl and H. L. Crowley. all three with headquart=..-z j.. San Francisco. DeLong spoke highly of Alaska's wellknown hospitality, and gave assurance Of the willingness of the Park Service to aid in carrying out ideas for improving recreational areas in the Territory.
 Alaska has a great deal to offer tourists. according to H. L. Crowley and he said his office was ready to help in getting people to come here. National Park Service records show ed an increase last year of about 20 per cent in visitors in the States, according to A. C. Keuhl. who sees no reason why Alaska should not have its share of these travellers.
 Monday morning, June 23, the local Chamber of Commerce will be hosts to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at an o'clock breakfast, it was announced. Dr. J. O. Rude is to entertain the ladies while the ship is in port. Next week the Chamber will be hosts to the Trans Pacific Good Will Tour.
