Acts On ScHine Movie
Chain
Continued from nrst page2

The Justice Department officials
were sure, however, that their pro
posed order would leave Schine
with very few theatres"
Affected are theatres in "a cities
in New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia.
The Justice Department did not
set any time limit for selling these
theatres. 1t said they should be
sold as rapidly as possible upon
such terms and to such purchasers
as this court may approve, to the
end that the theatres thus disposed
OF may be operated in competition
with theatres retained by the de-
PENDANTS.
The governments proposed order
would bar Schine from acquiring
financial interest in any additional
theatres except after affirmative
showing to the court that such ac-
quisitiOn will not "unreasOnably
restrain competition. The Justice
Department also asked that all un-
improved lands available for thea
tire purposes held by Schine in
towns where it has theatres should
be divested.
For a tive-year period, Schine
would be barred from taking more
than 500 of feature films released
by major distributors for showing
III tirst-run theatres in towns
where Schine has competition, or
from securing the majority of all
the better pictures during any six
months period"
Provisions are included to re-
quire distributors to give Schine
competitors a chance to bid on
films, and to bar Schine from cut
ting admission prices for the pur-
pose of forcing out competitors.

LEGAL PRICE OF GOLD IS S35 AN OUNCE

In the July 23rd issue of the Nome Nugget we pub lished article the purchase of gold at price well above the government-set price of $35 Then offered for sale to the highest bidder.
 In the August 4th issue of the Nome Nugget we ran article showing disposition of some of the precious metal in foreign countries It would that the law governing the sale of gold must be, somewhere along the line Whether it is in the keeping of the price low $35 ounce the prohibition of shipping the metals outside the United States
 The legal portion of the activities lies within the United States boundaries, Cncuding Alaska) in which persons may purchase, sell barter raw gold at will and for any price offered although it has been general y assumed in mining circles that all gold should be sold to the government According to latest information banks subject to federal banking laws cannot enter into such transactions which include sale of the gold above the price set by the government.
 The first article stated in part that the for the demand seemed obscure. But the second article tends to clear up the situation. in that the activities of smuggling ring are being investigated by the Secret Service and Customs agents.
 It is claimed the gold is being purchased for syndi cate which in turn is smuggling the gold out of the United States to foreign markets where the gold brings prices up to $10O ounce.
 It would seem likely that something should be done to remedy the situation in direction the other to make it fair for all.

 Ambassador CavendiSh Cannon also declared that as long as the Americans occupy part of Ger many the United States will have a responsibility to represent Ger man interests in Danubian affairs.
 Cannon outlined the American position shortly before the con- ference voted ' to 1 to make the proposed Russian plan for new Danube pact the basis for its dis cussions. Under the plan the. communist bloc of states would have exclusive control of Europe'S most important inland waterway
 The Danube at present is cut in two at Linz Austria, where the Russians have blocked non-Soviet shipping from moving down the river since shortly after the war ended This has kept nearly 700 Danubian vessels-mostly barges empty and idle in the American occupation zones of Austria and Germany.
 East-WeSt relations in Berlin received a new strain when the official Soviet News agency ANB said British and American planes bringing supplies to the Russian blockaded city could be forced down for flight violations.
 An American air force official conceded that Technically speak ing" planes could be forced down. However. once this starts. things are going 10 be pretty rough around here" he added. "It would require some pretty high level ac- tion."
 1 Diplomatic maneuvering con- | tinued in Moscow. It seemed like ! ly the talks American, British and French envOys have had with Soviet officials will continue th;s week.
 Diplomatic observers in Lon don said the western envoys prob ably will see prime minister Sta lin again in the next day or two
 o discuss the possibility of set ting east-West differences.
 The British press suggested the discussions in the Kremlin thus far have dealt with the Berlin blockade, German currency, the proposed West German govern ment and possibly the Ruhr and the withdrawal of occupation troops. Russia long has sought a voice in the control of Ruhr in- dustries.
 Trygve Lie, secretary-genera of the United Nations, appealed to the major powers to end their quarrel over Germany. His third annual report to the general as- sembly, made public at Lake Suc- cess, N. Y., placed the German problem at the top of a list of is- sues standing in the way of world peace.

Henry Walace's "peace with Russia" plan is dead ringer for Neville Chamberlan's peace in time" interpretation of Munich And just fantastic The late British prime minister thought appeasement of Hitler would avert Wallace is under the same de- fusion regards Russia. He would appease the Soviet Union to stave off the danger of war.
 To maintain peace with Russia, Wallace proposes that the United States should get out of Berlin His notion is that turning the German capital to the Soviet Union would guarantee peace without end In his speech accepting the presidential nomination of his new Progressive party" he argued that the United States would suffer loss of prestige by withdrawing from Berlin He seems to think that if just let the Russians kick out of the German capital everything will be hunky dory.

that in a series of seeded grass pas
lures, the standard strain produced
the largest amount of feed, as meas
ured by the gain in weight of lambs
pastured on the experimental plots.
Fairway, the other strain, gave
slightly lower yields.
Both Fairway and standard strains
of crested wheat grass outdid other
stands of pure seeded grasses, Nell
son and Barnes indicated. The stand
ard strain produced 81 pounds OF
lamb gain per acre in 1947, while
the Fairway strain produced 88
pounds. Native range produced 80
pounds of lamb gain per acre.
The difference between the two
has been consistent over a six-year
period, according to the two work
ers. The six-year annual average in
lamb gains per acre has been 100
pounds for the standard strain and
81 pounds for Fairway crested wheat.
The standard strain has provided a
six-year annual average of 165 sheep
days of grazing per acre, while the
Fairway strain has provided an aver
age of 161 days. In 1947 the standard
strain produced $50 days of sheep
grazing per acre, the Fairway 142.

AT Pig Production Low;
Increase Seen for 40

HOG PRODUCTION in Montana
during the last year receded to the
lowest level since 1888, according
to a report by P. J.. Greer, agricul-
tural statistician. From Dec. l, 1916,
to Dec. 1, 1947, state growers pro-
duced 267,0O0 pigs, $4,000 head
fewer than the preceding year and
1900 head fewer than the 10-year,
1936-45, average.
During the spring farrow period
of 1947 $4,000 sows were farrowed
in Montana, which with an average
of GA pigs per litter, accounted for
100, 600 pigs saved. Fall farrowings
amounted to $4,000 sows, from
which 100000 pigs were saved, an
average of 81 pigs per litter.
Increased production of pork in
the state next year is now indicated.

pointed to see that the schedule ID
followed out.
There are cases, of course, where
a cattleman, more or less isolated,
no other cattle within a couple OF
miles, controlling his own summer
range, can put on a good single
handed job of fly-control. But in
most cases, the complete organiza-
ton of a grub-control district is as
important as the details of the
spraying itself.

Community Affair

We do not believe that n cattle
breeder who sprays his cattle can
get much done if his close neighbors
do not spray their cattle. If there
are unsprayed cattle on the summer
range, mixed with the sprayed cat
tie, no results can be expected. Thus
successful control of the heel-fly
is really a community affair, to be
organized early and thoroughly,
getting everybody lined up, spray
ing machines located, dates set for
spraying, and a "straw-boss" ap-
