Czech Regime Begins
Campaign 10 Shrink
Reputation Of Benes
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

PRAGUE, Dec. ga concerted
campaign to shrink the reputation
of former President DR.. Eduard
Benes, who died in September, is
under way.
The latest contributors in the de-
traction drive are DR.. zdenek
Nejedly, minister OF education;
Vaclav Kopecky, minister Of infor-
nation and enlightenment; and
Gen. Karel Klapalek, one Of the
Army's highest officers
Some Of the men who surrounded
Or. Benes in the exile government
in London during the war are
coupled in the attacks. A brief
tendency to blast at the reputation
of old T. g. Masaryk, co-founder
of the republic with DR.. Benes and
It's first president, seems to have
quieted down.
Both Ignored in Film.
But State-produced documentary
film of the 3oth anniversary of in
dependence ignored both Mr.. Mas
aryk and DR.. Benes. Instead, in
line with the new philosophy of pic
turing Soviet Russia as the fount
from which all blessings really flow.
1t let loose new torrent of praise
for things Russian and new flood
of abuse of things Benes.
During DR.. Benes' lifetime criti-
ciSm of the little diplomat was
muted.
DR.. Nejedly wrote recently in Var
(the word means "boiling'D, his
personal weekly magazine which
must be read by all teachers, that
he wanted to root out any Benes
myths before they got established.
There is no nation of Benes, be-
cause there is no BeneS teaching"
DR.. Nejedly wrote. The Communist
education minister was a lecturer in
Moscow during the war.
BeneS Is Criticized.
"Benes cannot be compared with
T. G. Masaryk,' said DR.. Nejedly.
"Benes was not a thinker in the
philosophical sense. He was just
q practical politician, nothing more,
nothing less. He was willing to
play politics with any one.
"Benes never had single idea,
q single new thing of his own" he
wrote. "All his essays and thoughts
were nothing but a watering down
Of Masaryk's ideas, already and bet
ter expressed. During the last
months of his life Benes became a
symbol Of the most reactionary ele-
ments Of our nation"

tion, he said he purchased half
pint Of whisky and the two went
to a cafe on Fourteenth street.
There, police quoted Perez, they
joined several other people and had
few beers. Then, he said, they all
got into taxi and dropped two Of
the party at another restaurant
near Fourteenth and r streets NV.
They went to Mr.. Hines room,
where they had a drink or two
and then got into an argument
over whisky, he told police. Perez

and the same for Wyoming. These are state averages and include the
heavy mountain snowfall.
Weather Changes
The period begins with a storm in the central Rockies and light to
moderate snow in Montana and Wyoming, promptly followed by a
wave of much colder weather to the end of the week. About the
18th a trend to moderate temperatures between fluctuations will set
in, and the goth to 9th will be an unsettled period with a series Of
minor disturbances, light snow occasionally along with frequent
changes, cloudness and alternating temperatures. The week is not
expected to bring any appreciate amount of moisture to the farming
regions, but mountain snowfall may be considerable.
By the 18th a change to warm, unsettled weather will set in, fol-
lowed by a storm disturbance to reach the continental divide about
the 29th n 30th and the Dakota border a day Oh two later. Conditions
look favorable for a few days of wet, disagreeable weather, light to
moderate snow and probably a serious storm between Dec. 80 and
Jan. 2 Much colder weather is indicated to reach northern Montana
by Dec 81 and overrun northern Wyoming within a day.

places where any atmospheric mois-
ture Train and snow) can gain en-
trance.
Even when the above precautions
have been met, it is impossible to
overemphasize the Importance of
regular monthly inspections using a
probe of some sort whereby temper
atures of the grain can be deter
mined at intervals throughout the
bin. Out-of-condition or buy infested
grain will heat, and high tempera-
lures are an indication that some
thing is wrong.
Moisture Chief Threat
Under Montana conditions, high
moisture content is primarily the
cause of damage to stored grains by
insects. These pests may include n
or more of several different types
which get a foothold in out-of-con-
dition grains. Grain containing in
sects of any type in certain numbers
is termed "weevily grain" even
though it may contain no true wee
wills at all.
Pests which have been found in
Montana stored grain are grain
mites, the foreign grain beetle. the
flat grain beetle, the confused flour
beetle, the saw-tooth grain beetle
the latter four are collectively
termed "bran bugs"), the granary
weevil, and the angoumois grain
moth. There are others but these are
the most important ones.
Grain is graded "weevily" when
either two or more live weevils, one
or more live weevils and two or
more other insects or five other in

at times in contrast to the brief cold waves ex-
pected. The Montana-Wyoming moisture outlook
is below par, but there will be a number of days
with measurable precipitation due to storm ac-
tivity in this area. With mostly small amounts
of snow, however, it is not likely that a good
snow cover will remain to protect winter crops.
The Canadian border region should fare best for
moisture. Winter officially begins Dec. 81, and
with the advancing season the cold waves we
do get will be more intense and prolonged. All
storms should be treated with caution. The very
beginning and again at the closing of this fore
cast period are the principal storm periods. Nor

YEAR IN AND year out Montana
stored grains are surprisingly free
from damaging populations of grain
infesting insects as compared to
other req of the United States.
Three factors r thought to be
responsible to a large extent for this
lack of trouble, namely warm, dry
harvesting periods, cold winter tenn
p%eratures and adequate storage fa-
c%ilities.
When any one of the above factors
breaks down, trouble may be ex-
pected. If harvesting conditions have
been such that the gram must be
binned at a moisture content above
IL to Is percent, trouble usually re-
suits. Trouble may also result where
storage facilities are such that the
ventilation is poor and rain or snow
is allowed to enter to form pockets
of moist grain.
Prevention First
The prevention Of insect damage
to stored grain is by far the best
and cheapest method of averting
losses in the binned grain. A few
simple precautions are all that is
necessary under Montana conditions
to prevent these losses. They are as
follows:
Store the grain in clean. dry stor-
age at a moisture content of moi over
IL percent; provide adequate venti-
lation at the top of the bin to re-
move moisture which accumulates
in The surface layers due to respira-
ton of the grain and subsequent
condensation of wafer oapor on the
surface. and inspect and seal all
