The Dewey press conferences are
brief and to the point. They open
with a bit of kidding as with
friendly barbs he tries to needle re-
porters who have been covering his
Office for years and they try back
at him. His answers have a quality
of appearing to be we'll thought out,
1t seems strange but the veteran
reporters recall that Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the man who greatly in
creased the National Press Club
membership by stating the Govern
ment with scores of neWspapermen,
was his own press agent in 1882
Mr.. Dewey's press conferences have
been infrequent up until this week.
Mr. Roosevelt used to hold them
every day.
Mr.. Dewey has at his side James
C. Hagerty, son of the political re-
porter of the New York Times. The
younger Hagerty left the Times to
serve Mr.. Dewey when he was in
augluated as Governor January l.,
1943. Mr.. Hagerty's service is in
the tradition of the Dewey efficiency.
The writer arrived in Albany at
noon on the Empire State. He
called MI. Hagerty from the station.
Mr.. Hagerty was out working on a
March of Time movie starring the
Governor and with his lieutenants
as supporting players. Mr.. Hagertys
secretary, Miss Morse, took the
call. BY the time the writer ar
rived at the Capitol in a taxi, sp-
pointments had been made with the
persons he sought to interview and
a hotel reservation arranged.
No Professors Around
Mr.. Roosevelt met the press with
one or two of his professors and
Louis McHenry Howe. OF course
Mr.. Howe had been a newspaperman
but he had left the fourth estate
20 years before to make Roosevelt
President.
There are no professors in evi-
dence today. Mr.. Dewey's political
thinkers are his lieutenants and
men who have impressed Congress
with their brains, Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr., of Massachusetts,,
and Everett Dirksen of Illinois,
chairman of the District Committee
of the House.
The old-timers recall how "the
brain trust" entered the picture in
1892.

ALBANY, N. Y.-This quiet capi-
tai city whose streets run down hill
70 the Hudson is the scene OF a
remarkable repetition of American
political history and is apparently
paying no attention to it.
It's repetition of 1882. For here
in the same executive mansion, the
same Offices in the Capitol, again
there Is a Governor who, all por-
tents indicate, will be the next
President of the United States. 1t
was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1882.
1t is Thomas E. Dewey in ls48.
Albany people are used to glimpses

smaller States, the Governor is
never seen in public eating places
When asked about it, the indiffer-
ent rejoinder of the citizens is, Il
guess he's going to Washington"
Albany Hasn't Changed
There is no sense of urgency as
the elms near the Capitol again turn
yellow and an autumn haze drifts
down from the Adirondacks. 1t Is
II am. before the Governor leaves
for the Offices from the gabled Vic
torian mansion. Its red brick pile
dominates a residential area OF

In addition to providing a market for livestock and
many other agricultural products, Swift performs
many essential services for producers and consum-
es. Most people can't go to farms to buy their
meat-neither can retail dealers. Swift brings the
meat to them. We have been doing this big, neces-
sary job for 81 years, efficiently and economically.
Here are the services Swift & Company performs
to earn its small profit:
u We buy livestock and many other products that
farmers and ranchers raise; then process and dis
tribute them.
q We process, brand, and perform all the many
necessary operations to prepare our products for
market and consumption.
81 We utilize all by-products. Every part that can
be used is processed and sold in various forms. The
income from this source increases the price of live
stock to producers, decreases the cost of meat to
consumers.
A. Our research finds new uses and new markets
for farmers and ranchers' products.
s. Our Martha Logan experimental kitchens test
foods under home conditions, so that Swift prod
ucts may give consumers the greatest possible
satisfaction and value per dollar. i
g. We pay transportation charges on our finished
products, delivering them to dealers In all parts of
the United States. This makes a broad, nationwide
market instead of a limited local market for the
products of livestock producers. )
y We provide employment and a ivelihood-good
wages, good working conditions and security-for
$4,000 people who work for Swift & Company.
Our earnings for all this were one cent on each
dollar of sales.

D'Ewart Bill
Affects Land
On Reservation

Washington, D. C.-The D
Ewart bill for disposition of sub
marginal land on Montana Indiar
Reservations passed both Houses
of Congress last week and awaits
the Presidents signature to be.
come law.
Eighty-three thousand acres or
the Fort Peck Reservation, Is, OOC
acres on the Fort Belknapp, and
5000 acres on the Blackfeet re-
servation are covered by the bill.
The land was acquired as Sub.
marginal" under the Bankhead-
Jones Act.
Congressman Wesley A. D.
Ewart, author Of the bill, said
much of the land has been leased
in recent years and is suitable
for agricultural and grazing uses.
The laws under which it W a s
acquired provide no means f O r
returning it to private ownership.
The bill provides for the estab-
lishment of county committees
to determine the best use of the
land. The committees also will
decide how the land is to be dis
posed of. Veterans, the Indian
tribes and federal agencies, for
experimental purposes on y,
would be eligible to acquire the
land.
Membership on the committees
will include the chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
the State conservationist, the
superintendent of each reserva-
ton, the chairman of the tribal
council, and a resident of the
county who must be- a veteran
familiar with the land.
Numbers of veterans have ask
ed for permission to buy tracts
for use as farming land. Several
Montana public bodies have also
expressed desire to have some
of the land returned to the tax
rolls, D'Ewart said.

Indians Take
Shelby Coyotes;
Lose To Wolves
(By Jack Billedeaux)

| (By JACK BllledeauX)
A sluggish Browning team lost
an uneventful game to Cut Bank
here last Friday night. 1t was
attended by the largest crowd of
the season and provided w
thrills except for the first quar-
ter. The Wolves were always in
command after the first quarter
and only once early in the third
quarter did the Indians even
come within 6 points of the fast
Cut Bank team.
Cut Bank looked like a scourge
of the district hardwoods in the
second quarter as they surged
ahead of the firing Indians and
took a commanding 1921 half
time lead.
Browning continued to move
at a slow pace and looked like
bad team or rather a wrong team
to be playing the Wolves that
night. Cut Bank slowed the
pace but chung to a 4O-27 third
quarter lead.
Billedeaux hung 4 goals for
Browning in the last quarter,
but Dickerson countered with 3
and -Wilfamson's basket moved
the Wolves even farther ahead.
Kramer was the high scorer,
hooking Is points before he
fouled out early in the fourth
quarter. Moore led Cut Bank
with 10 and Williamson hung 10.
Billedeaux scored II for the
losers.
The Indians showed a complete
reversal of form on Saturday
night and defeated a highly rated
and highly favored Shelby team
at Shelby, 1926.
The odd thing about the victory
was the fact that Shelby had de-
feated the Cut Bank Wolves last
Saturday night 1892. The Wolves
have defeated the Indians both
times they have met and by con-
vincing scores.
Although the Shelby team took
first quarter | e a d of ll-9, it
was evident that the Coyotes had
night of basketball coming from
the Indians.
The Indians took over in the
5 cond quarter, completely
smothering any Shelby attempt
to shoot and not allowing a Shelby
man to go unguarded. Mean
while, Kramer and Stan K ipp
had combined to send the the
Red Skins we'll out in front 2l-12.
The Coyotes looked better in the
last minutes of the cond
quarter, creeping up to 23-lS at
intermission.
Browning continued h eli
bruising defense in the bird
quarter. TT e r checking was
superb and Gage and Kincheloe
were the only ones to score for
Shelby in the third canto, their
points coming on gift to e S.
Browning hung tough to a 1920
lead.
Kincheloe kept Shelby in the
game in the last quarter hitting
3 goals but Shelby was still out
scored 7 to 6 and Browning was
moving away at the final buzzer.
Kramer played a fine game
hooking "a points for high scor-
ing honors while Fulton hit IL
and Kincheloe 8 for the losers.

TRAINED MEN NEEDED

If you're trained in any of more
than a score of mechanical or
technical skills, there's a good
place for you in the U. S. Army
or U. S. Air Force. Your pay is
based upon the degree of skill
you possess. For instance, a
Private-First-C Glass receives the
civilian equivalent of 1928. SO
per month. Advancement is rap
id as you attain greater efficiency
and if you are selected for over
seas duty, your pay automatical-
ly jumps 20 per cent. Any young
man should investigate the op-
portunity offered by an enlist
ment in the U. S, Army and U.
S. Air Force. See your local Re-
cruiting Officer today!
