The House Foreign Affairs
Committee today tackled the
needs of Greece, Turkey and
China in the struggle against
communism, after accepting the
Senate figure of $1,000, 100000 for
the first year of the European
Recovery Program.
Moving swiftly yesterday after
noon in response to President Tru-
mans appeal, the House group tied
only one string to the Senate allot-
ment for Europe.
It stipulated that only $4,300,-
900 900 of the first year fund would
be cash out of the Treasury, and
authorized the Export Import Bank
to provide the remaining $1,000
600, 900 as loan commitments.
The House committee went along
with the Senate in promising to
continue the aid program for four
years, with requirements for the
three remaining years left open, in
recognition of the fact one Con-
gress cannot bind the next.
Over Hump Says Vorys.
1--WE are we'll over the hump-we
are out of the woods now" said Act
ing Chairman Vorys after these
major points had been disposed Of.
The committee still has before it
budget requests for another $275,-
100000 for Greek Turkish military
aid, and $570,0OO,0O0 of additional
aid to China. The administration
wanted this to be civilian aid, but
there is strong sentiment in the
House committee to give Chang
Kai-shek military as well as eco
nomic help in his battle against
Chinese Communists.
This Government has permitted
the Chang government to purchase
surplus American war equipment at
nominal prices, but Representative
Judd, Republican of Minnesota, be-
lieves more should be done to halt
communism in China as well as in
Greece and Turkey.
Meanwhile, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee also is consid-
ering the China, Greek and Turkish
requirements as separate legisla-
ton, on the theory that the urgent
European bill could be put through
faster by itself.
House Timetable.
The progress made by the House
committee with day and night ses-
sions since Monday makes the out
look bright for House passage of
the entire program in one bill by
the April l deadline. Here is how
Speaker Martin figures out the
House timetable:
If the Foreign Affairs Committee
reports the omnibus foreign aid bill
by Saturday, the Rules Committee
could clear it Monday and let the
House hold general debate Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. The
House would not meet on Good Fri
day or Saturday.
Voting on amendments would
start Monday, March 20, with good
prospect of passing the bill March
| 81.
If the two houses are in agree
ment on the amount of the European
program, a quick agreement by Sen

Hungry Horse Bid Call Appears Delayed

Call for bids on the prime con-
tract to build Hungry Horse dam
may likely be delayed from some
time before January Is until early
February.
This unofficial but authentic in
formation just received also indi-
Gates that causing the delay is the
preparation of engineering speci-
fications for building the 525-foot
high concrete structure. 1t is be-
lieved that the book giving the spe-
cifications will have more than
300 pages. and its printing alone
will require several days.
Bids are still slated for March
opening, and the prime contract
for the dam as authorized by con-
gress will be awarded this spring,
either in March or April.
Engineers have been at work in
Denver, Boise and at the local. pro-
ject since last summer detailing
and specifying the standards, qua
Titles and amount, of materials that
will go into Hungry Horse which
will follow Grand Coulee and Boul-
der among concrete dams, and be
about the same size as Shasta.
Design of the dam was changed
this summer from straight ac-
ross the river type to gravity arch
such as Boulder. This resulted in
considerable change as to specifi-
cation. Possibly helping cause de-
lay was increasing the heighth of
the structure from more than 300
to about 525 feet.
A review of the approximate ma
terial amounts show that at least
10000 freight car loads of cement
will be required.
1t is known that several big con-
tractors interested in submitting
bids on the prime contrac have gil
ven thought to the matter of
transporting the concrete from the
Great Northern main line. Under
consideration are conveyor belts
and possibly a blower system.
There is little talk of a railroad
spur. Coram station will likely be
the unloading point for most of
the material.

Seismographic Film
At Hungry Horse
Records IS Quakes

Since November Is when it was
put into operation, the seismogra-
phic station near the Hungry
Horse damsite has recorded 35
earth shocks, reports Observer H
Il Mclean.
Only three of these were "Mon-
tana quakes" occurring November
%, December IL and December IL.
The November % shock was of
sufficient intensity to be noticed
by people as well as by the sensi-
tive recorders.
Located in a small concrete bull
ding near the damsite, the Hungry
Horse seismograph records earth
movements on 35 nm film. 1t
will measuer slight earth readjust-
ments that are expected as a res
ult of the 525-foot high concrete
dam and 100000 acre foot reser-
voir. Only instruments will be aw-
are of these slight earth shocks.
Newest of the five Montana seis-
mographic stations, the Hungry
Horse equipment is the most mod
ern. Other stations are at Helena,
Butte. Great Falls and Bozeman,
The new station is the only one in
Montana west of the continental
divide.

Council Establishes
Sidewalk District

Columbia Falls town council at
their January meeting Monday de-
clared the town square" a spe-
cial improvement district, and
when weather permits bids will be
called to construct a sidewalk on
all four sides.
Cost of construction will be paid

years by the lot owners. Protest
ing the creation of the district was
lot owner, Anthony Hythecker,
Whitefish. Also entering a protest,
received late, was William Kloet-
IKE, Columbia Falls.
The council deemed that the pc
tition requesting a special election
for financing the rebuilding of the
water system had sufficient sig
natures, and the election is sche-
duled for sometime in February.
Herb Stanley was appointed a
patrolman to assist Byron West,
town marshal. This gives Column
bia Falls two full-time policemen.
Appointment of Charles Het-
yer as police judge succeeding ]
E Green weas approved. A new
traffic code covering parking,
speeding, U-turns and drunken dr.
wing was approved.
The sewer improvement district
was further discussed, and will
be acted upon either late in jan
uary or at the February meeting.
Notice of intention to create the
district are being mailed property
owners.
Also scheduled is an improve
ment district down the Nucleus
avenue hill from Smith Brothers
to the highway for the purpose of
building a sidewalk.
A new set of books for the water
department was adopted. These
were recommended by the state
examiners.
Delayed was the request to the
secretary of state in Helena ask
ing that Columbia Falls in view of
having more than 1000 people be
declared third class city. 1t will
cost up to $500.
Attending the council meeting
were four directors of the Column
bia Falls chamber of commerce,
J ] Reese, E Marantette, James
Connole and H H Davall. The men
talked with the council about i'm
provements, and as to completing
the started" town hall.
At the meeting were Mayor John
O'Connell, councilmen: Leslie

Snow Improves Elk
Hunting Outlook

punching of elk.
Reports of hunters from the Flat
heads Middle Fork where the sea-
son on elk, both sexes, was extend

being taken from Gary mountain,
Tunnel and Sheep creeks. Howev-
er hunting is still termed poor"
with good prospects of improving.
The inch rains in the Flathead
valley this week came as snow alb
owe $500 feet, and snow reports
of 80 inches on the level and more

Mild Winter Spurs
Lumberin9 Activity

January and February weather
permitting, the Columbia Falls to
Coram area will have an estima-
ted $50 men employed in numbering
and logging through the winter.
Soggy weather this week caused
layoff, but it may be temporary.
The mild winter has. made pos
sible work in the woods, which a
year ago was stopped by deep snow
before Christmas. Peak employ
ment in logging and numbering is
during the summer.
Contributing to unemployment in
the area has been the lesser activ-
ity on Hungry Horse project pre-
construction jobs. This combined
with a population increase since
last winter has made for more I'M
employment.
Another factor resulted in in
numbers of men receiving
unemployment compensation is the
virtual standstill of building acti-
witty in the area. Carpenters are
not busy with hammer and saw.
An anticipated field of employ
ment was announced by Frank
Kirkpatrick, Hungry Horse area
employment office manager, for
the state employment service. He
wants to build up a list of qualified
stenographers and secretaries.
To bring about more efficient
payment of unemployment compen-
sation, men filing claims are asked
to do so on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.
