friends today about being in
Norfolk recently and seeing a
woman with something on her
head resembling tambourine.
When his curiosity got the bet

the head piece. She was de

he was the seventh person ask

that was why she bought the
hat because it did not look like

legislation:
"The Federal Aid to Education

Again l found myself in the minor
ity when I opposed the Federal aid
bill because I firmly believe that
whenever the Federal government
grants aid to the respective states
it naturally follows that Federal
meddling in our public school sys-
TEN will come sooner or later. While
the bill just approved by the Senate
is fortified sufficiently against such
interference, in view of the numer-
Gus amendments that were offered
on the floor of the Senate, conclus-
i've proof was given that there
would be continuous efforts to
break the bill down at some future
date. States like Montana are going

$4,000 spent for a trousseau while

of starving people.
Is such wanton display and
wastage of wealth an exhibition of
bad taste? The only answer is a
vigorous affirmative. 1t is not only
bad taste but an exhibition of heart
lessness. And yet one sees this same
thing in many quarters these days,
to a greater or less degree. How
about the thousands spent at the
late wedding of Princess Elizabeth
while the hungry of the world are
CRYING for money with which to buy
food? From all we can gather,
Princess Elizabeth is a sweet young
woman. But it would have been
much wiser if the advisers around
her had toned down that display of
wealth, and if they had turned what
went into that show of pomp and

government. The educational Sys-
tens in some parts of the country
are below standard and need a shot
in the arm. As a Montanan I am
proud to know that our system thus
far has become one of the best in
the country without any help from
the Federal taxpayers, and other
states should do as well before ask

Is it a matter for just criticism
when a public figure spends $4,000
on a rousseau for a fourth wedding,
when millions of people are on the
verge of starvation throughout the
world? Evidently Margaret Bean of
the Spokesman-Review thinks such
action is a deplOrable exhibition of
bad taste and deserving of the bit
terest condemnation. Because that
is what she did to Lana Turner and
her fourth wedding, in Sundays

THE GREATEST KNOWLEDGE

When Isaac Newton, famous Eng
lish scientist, lay on his deathbed
he said 10 friend, Il have learned
two great facts in life, one is that
/ am a great sinner. the other is
that Jesus Christ is an even great
er Savior"
It's true, he who has learned
these two great facts has learned
all that is really necessary to know.
And on the other hand, he who has
not learned these truths has missed
LIES greatest knowledge
The most illustrious of Christ's
disciples confessed: Il know that
in me dwelleth no good thing"
Paul knew that no matter how good
he was, he was still a sinner; and
as such he could not gain Gods
favor
But he also knew that through
Christ he had obtained complete
forgiveness for every sin. Christ
had died for his sins. Christ was
has Savior.
All the Libraries in the world con-
tain no greater knowledge than this.

What Senator Ecton
Thinks of OIeo
Legislation
RY Charles D. ROWe

A matter of legislation that has
stirred up a great deal of contro-
versy is the tax on oleomargarine
and whether or not it ought to be
repealed. 1t came in for lively dis
cussion during the last session of
the Montana legiSlature-that is the
state tax on oleO-and l was inter-
ested to watch from day to day the
contending forces marshall their
arguments; and to notice how some
of my brother representatives were
flooded by kilograms from con-
stituents
OF recent weeks it has been
holly debated question in the U. S.
congress. A news letter from Sena-
tor Zales ~ Ecton is of interest,
concerning which tax he has the
following to say:
The cleo question has created
more controversy than the subject
warrants. Propaganda and half
truths have added to the confusion.
The present oleo tax is designed to
keep cleo from being passed off to
the unsuspecting public as butter.
The l0c per pound does not apply
to uncolored oleo At the present
LltllG LllGlG ID IA pei HOhAAA NeA<N VA
the oleo product, with license fee
of 5000 on manufacturers, $3.50 for
wholesalers of colored and 5000 for
wholesalers of white margarine,
SAB for retailers of colored and Sc
for retailers of white. 1t doesn't APP
pear that such license fees are ex-
cesSive to the point where they
would cause gross discrimination.
Estate laws have more bearing on
the sale and price of oleomargarine
than do the Federal taxes. Twenty
two states would still prohibit the
sale of colored margarine even If
the Federal tax were repealed.
Other states, including Montana
have high license fees on oleo.
Therefore, until the various states
repeal their statutes. the outcome
of the present controversial oleo
question in Congress makes little
difference to the average consumer
in Montana"
Here is what Senator Ecton has
to say about universal military
training:
Congress is in a other over pro-
posals for universal military training
and selective service-and they are
on the spot too. Many members of
Congress who are opposed to UNIT
and the peacetime draft find they
may have to go along. 1t goes like
this-all those who are supposed to
know what is going on in the world,
including Administration leaders,
say the world is in bad shape and
we must be prepared for any
emergency. On the other side there
is nothing to refute the argument,
but many are opposed to one or both

|43 Papers Continue
| To Publish Despite
Stoppages by Printers
~ the Assoeioisd Press

CHICAGO, June 26.-Forty-t three
newspapers in 27 cities in the United
states and Canada are continuing
| to publish despite work stoppages
by union printers.
This was shown today in survey
conducted by the American News
paper Publishers Association.
Some of these work stoppages by
locals of the AFL international
Iypographical Union began almost
three years ago. Others occurred in
1916 and 1947. Eight newspapers
were struck by the printers this
wear. The strikes are continuing.
The association said that al
though handicapped by loss of their
union composing room employees,
with one exception the newspapers
have continued to publish daily edi-
tions with little interruption. Some
are using a photoengraving process
to circumvent their composing
rooms while others continue the use
of normal printing methods.
1 The work stoppage resulted from
disputes between the publishers and
/ the ITU over wages and contracts.
4 Winnipeg Strike Began in 1945.
The oldest strike is that in Winni-
peg. Manitoba, Canada, where the
printers walked out at two news
paper plants November II, 1945. The
I oldest in the United States is that
| in st. Petersburg, Fla, involving two
| publications. 1t began November
4 80, 1945.
In Springfield, Mass, the morning
Republican suspended daily publi-
cation but continued to circulate the
Sunday Republican. The Morning
Union and Evening News. under
the same ownership, are publishing
daily.
The Springfield Evening Union
suspended publication. The pub
fishers said this suspension was be-
cause of a strike by a mechanical
union, not the printers strike.
The largest single group Of print
ers on strike is in Chicago where
500 men walked out of five major
dailies eight month ago.
/ Neither the American Newspaper
Publishers Association nor the ITU
would estimate financial losses since
the strikes began, but other sources
/ placed the losses in wage and
revenues from advertising "fn the
millions"

Used Navy System
To Avoid Leaks,

President Roosevelt used the
Navy code to send secret mes

Department code, the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-

The statement that President
Roosevelt could not trust the State

miral William H. Standley, U. S. N,
retired, wartime Ambassador to
Moscow.
Committee sources said, however
that they had supporting testimony
from other sources and plan to
question another witness suggested
as confirmation by Admiral
Standley.
Admiral Standley was questioned
at a closed session in Los Angeles
Thursday by Representative Nixon
Republican, of California, after he
had written the committee that

sent him messages in the Navy S
