81 Farmers Are Getting
Another Chance
Through On~the~Farm Training
By LARRY GILL

DILL had to leave school after the eighth
ID grade, and for he next sever years he
was on his own, working from farm to farm
or taking a job for a few months on a bridge
gang-never anything permanent. Then
along came World war 2 and Bill went into
training in the summer of 1941.
He spent more than a year on the west
coast, and while there, he married a girl
who worked near his station. After spend
ing a couple of years overseas, he came
back to his discharge and the realization
that he had a family now, with no job in
sight.
Bill could be rather typical of some As
men who are now trying to establish them
selves in farming or ranching near the little
town of Fromberg in Carbon county. From
berg is an agricultural town. That is it's sin
gle industry, and without agriculture it
would, like hundreds of other towns in
Montana, fold up like a broken cracker box.
More than SO "Bills" left Fromberg, saw
service in the war and, on coming back to
this community, were interested in getting
started in the operation of a farm of their
own. But like others before them, they
found that they lacked a great deal of in
formation and practical knowledge about
the business they had picked out for them
selves. Like thousands of other veterans,
they were in a hurry to learn about the
trade or profession they intended to stick
with the rest of their lives.
You Have TO Know"
Perhaps Loren Webster, who operates his
own 160-acre dryland, diversified farm, ex-
pressed the feeling of all the veterans when
he said, 'The way farming is now, you've
got to know everything about it that you can
if you expect to make a living. Cost and
profit margins are getting closer and closer
together"
jim Monforton, vocational agriculture in
structor at Fromberg, knew the veterans

Stripping indicated the handwritter
memos were notes relating to tor
secret State Department documents
in 1887 or 1888. Mr.. Peurifoy de.
clared they violated "all the security
regulations of the department."
Would you say that the individual
who wrote these memos would be
doing so for some reason other than
his official duty?" Mr. STRIPPING
asked. Would you assume it was
done for an ulterior- motive?"
That's right" Mr.. Peurifoy re-
piled.
The Assistant Secretary went on
to cite a Federal statute carrying a
maximum penalty of 10 years In
prison and a $4,000 fine for illegal
removal or copying of restricted
State Department documents.
The material Mr.. Stripling showed
to Mr.. Welles consisted Of copies OF
six documents Mr.. Chambers said
he received from Mr. Hiss. Mr.
Welles declared publication of three
of them would be 'prejudicial to
the national interest"

Safety Precautions Are Urged
In Preparing Christmas rees

A merry Christmas involves more
than parties and gifts, two Dis
trict agencies warned today.
If the season Is to be a happy
one, they pointed out, several safety
precautions must be taken.
!. The Fire Prevention Council an
nounced plans to send large fire
prevention posters and copies of
Flaming Facts to District mer-
chants, churches. schools and as
sociations. The posters, headed
Santa Clause Desires-No Christ
mas Fires" list five fire prevention
rules.
The Accident Prevention Service
of the District Red Cross referred
to home accident surveys of past
Christmas seasons to warn against
carelessness this year.
In regard to fire, both groups

warned against use Of worn-out OF
loose electric light plugs. They ad-
vised that the tree-one of the
greatest causes of Christmas fires
be placed in a stand with water
above the cut surface. The decora-
tion should be disposed OF immedi-
ately after January !.
The Red Cross said 81 persons
were hospitalized during Christmas
week of 1947 because of home acci-
dents. Six of these received eye
ball scratches from evergreen
needles while trimming Christmas
trees. Several children were cut
by tree ornaments or new toys
Others swallowed ornaments and
tree lights.
The Red Cross advised care when
trimming the tree, and suggested
gifts and gifts boxes not be left

In international stature today, win

tions Economic Commission for Asia
and the Far East as an associate
member. An associate membership
also was voted to 1ndonesia (the
Netherlands East Indies) as whole.
The Netherlands delegation walked
out in protest against the decision
to admit the republic, as the Dutch
leader, DR.. II. c. Gelissen, predicted
yesterday 1t would.
DR.. Gelissen sal dthat although
the commission has authority to
deal with applications for associate
membership, that does not mean 1t

own right it would be doing just
that and would prejudice one of the

tween the Dutch and Indonesians)
DR.. Gelissen said.
The Netherlands originally ap-
piled for admission of 1ndonesia as
a whole. The republic applied to be
recognized in its own right.
United States opposition to the
admission of the republic was ex-
planned by Ambassador Myron M
Cowen, chief American delegate,

Federal Revenue ChieI
Says Law Prevents
Answer on Textron
BY the Asseeiofed Press

BOSTON, Dec. 8-A sharp tilt
developed today between the United
States Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, his chief counsel. and a
Senate subcommittee which tried to
ask them about alleged under-selling
Of stock to friends by Royal Little,
Textron Corp. president.
Committee Counsel Charles w.
Tobey. jr.. aimed repeated questions
at Commissioner George j. Schoene-
man about a letter in which the
committee says MIR. Schoeneman
made the charge that under-market-
price stock sales had been made.
To those questions Mr.. Schoene-
man answered:
my answer is that I would be
divulging information which is pro-
hibited by law"
Pressed for Answer.
Mr.. Tobey, son of Senator Tobey,
Republican, of New Hampshire,
subcommittee chairman. pressed the
commissioner again as to what
would be his answer If he. merely
read the letter in question, or tax
returns filed with tn ecommittee by
charitable trusts connected with
Textron, huge textile corporation.
The commissioner answered:
ct could read the letter but
I would make no comment on it."
Charles Oliphant, Internal Rev.
enue Bureau chief counsel, was
drawn into the questioning by MIR.
Tobey, and Mr.. Oliphant said the
commissioner would be illegally di-
vulging information If he answered.
Mr.. Tobey said quickly to Mr.. Oil
phant, What, sir, is your definition
Of the word 'divulge'?"
Reads From Code.
Mr.. Oliphant replied, Make
known is another word"
Then MIR. Oliphant added by read
ing fro ma section of the Internal
Revenue Code:
20" to divulge or make known
in any manner whatever not pro-
vided by law"
The Internal Revenue chiefs ar
rived today under subpoena for the
fifth session of the Senate subcom-
mittee's investigation of Textron.
The committee charges that Mr.
Schoeneman made five allegations
against Mr.. Little and the Textron-
connected trusts in letter he wrote
IS months ago to Senator McGrath,
National Democratic chairman.
Senator McGrath is a trustee OF
the Rhode Island Charities Trust,
one of the associated trusts.
Earlier, Senator Tobey disclosed
that Is months ago Mr.. Schoene-
man informed trustees of three
charitable trusts established by Mr..
Little that the trusts owed income
taxes.
Made Five Allegations.
He said that the Schoeneman let
ter to the trustees made five alle-
cations, including one that Mr.. Lit
tie sold stock to friends and asso-
ciates at less than the market
value"
1--WE want to ask the commissioner
why they haven't followed up that
letter." Mr.. Tobey said
The committee shifted its investi-
CATION yesterday to Textron,s-reports

copies available to the FBI, as well
as to the State Department.
The department will check those
copies against. originals in the files
and try to list officials who were
eligible to see them 10 years ago.
Mr.. Peurifoy promised.
What I regard as most serious
about this whole thing, forgetting
Mr.. Hiss and Mr.. Chambers, is the
fact that these documents were
taken out of the State Department
files in 1887 or 1898, and to me that
means that our codes were being
read by foreign nations during the
whole period" he told the committee
in a closed session late yesterday.
200 Documents Obtained.
Estimating that about three
fourths" of the approximately 200
documents the committee has OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Chambers are State
Department material. Mr.. Mundt
observed:
THE removal Of this secret in
formation from Government files
was about the time Of the Stain
Hitler pact. This fits in with what
Mr.. Welles testified about the way
the national security was endangered
at that time by the possibility of
code-breaking.
ut also pieces together with what
Mr.. Chambers told the committee
last summer about renouncing com.
munism in 1888 and reporting
Communist spy activities to Gov.
ernment officials at about the time
the war started in Europe"
Mr.. Mundt said he was inclined
to believe" the committee woulo
make public very few, If any, Of the
documents because many of them

immediately and all of Germany very quickly, and will probably control most of Europe in matter of days or weeks.
 But none of these will be major operations. for the simple reason that major opposition can be offered and the Russians will attain their objectives by simply following the military routine their un- disputed superiority in Western Europe will allow l This would, of course be spectacular victory for the Russians and staggering blow to the Western powers, but not conclusive action. | The plans of retaliatory warfare have surely taken it into account, and the strategy of reprisa could still be directed against the heart of Russia and thus the possibility of containing the Russians that broad front would still exist. But in the meantime the Russians would be launching the assault upon which they would count for quick decision and total victory and which We would not only be powerless to stop with existing defenses but against which reaiatory warfare wouold be of enormous difficulty and doubtful success.
 This would be the inevitable Russian arborne assault upon Alaska, for which are wholly unpre pared and to which apparently totally blind
 We may be this assault is already fully mounted by the Russians in Siberia, and would be of the initial acts by the Russians in the event of and would undoubtedly be coordnated with the first overt acts of war in Germany.
 Once in possession of the major Alaskan air bases we have constructed, but would not be able to de- fend, the Russians would be in a position to make bombing over every industrial center in con- tinental America.
 The ultimate tragedy in this situation, unlike that prevailing in Europe, would be the fact that if we managed to institute retaliation and reprisals at a which is gravely doubtful-they would have to be against the Russians in Alaska and not in Russia itself.
 In other words it would be wholly in America with all the fighting and destruction on American soil
 It would be the heart of America and not of Russia which would be exposed.
 Alaska, and not Berlin, will be the vital objective in the war with Russia, if it comes
 America and not Europe will be the fighting ground and the place of decision
 All this we have made possible and inevitable by neglecting cur defenses in Alaska.
 Why are we still neglecting Alaska? We do not know how much time remains to us for the repair of this tragic neglect.
 But why do not such time as does remain to us?
 Only last spring our military authorities moved strong contingent of troops into Alaska because of the critical situation created by the Russians
 This was not enough to make Alaska safe but 1t was indicative of awareness of our danger But now these troops are being moved out of Alaska. for the amazing and ncomprehenslve reason that no winter quarters were available for them Our peril in Alaska is immediate and 1t is grim
 We have already wasted too much vital time in doing too little about it. which is the thing as doing nothing at all
 Why do we still persist in wasting more vital time when the price of neglect might be the loss of war?

There are two reasons for this:
 l. About 75 percent of the news papers have announced for Dewey

 My own feelings about Dewey have been matter of public record for a long time. AS early as October, l946, when most Republicans were claiming ne could never overcome the COP jinx of having been de- feated once, I categorically pre- dicted he would be the next Re- publican nominee. I also appraised him. on the eve of the Philadel- phia Convention, as the ablest of all the Republican candidates next to Governor Warren.
 also predicted in May, l948 that Harry Truman would not carry one state north of the Mason Dixon line and would lose two states be- low it. tSince then I have re- yised his southern loss downward to four.l
 It also happens that I likt Dewey. Most news reporters don't My wife says it's because we have a common bond--coWs. Both O. us try to run dairy farms, and fol two years I used to rib Dewey about the high bacteria count o1 his milk Now my cows have Bangs disease and he can rib me
