LIGHT ON COLD WAR
hartley c. CRUM
In the New York Star

TWO unusually blunt statements on the
Berlin situation, reported in the STAR yester-
oay-0ne from Berlin and the other from
ashington-throw lot of light on the real
nature Of our cold war with Russia
One was By Sen. Tom Connally 3D. Tex.)
who Is slated 70 become chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee next year.
ConnallY doesn't have all the diplomatic sub
1let5es Il ms finger tips as does Sen Arthur
Il FaDoenberg r. Mich) who has been run
ming the committee for the past two years
But he does have faculty for saying with
earthly blun1ness what lot of ordinary peo-
pie are thinking.
Connally said that he didn't think the
currency row in Berlin was enough to start
z war about and that some kind of solution
obviously had TO be found. He said it with
the air OF man who was just a bit fed up
with halr-splitting arguments. He virtually
admitted, too, that all the blame for the dead
lock couldn't be laid at Moscow's door, say
ing that our military governors in Berlin
hadn't been able to go along with the ten
tatlve agreement reached at Moscow What
ne thought was needed was to get on with the
broader question of German and Austrian
peace treaties.
Just about the same time Col Frank
HoWley, cOmmandant of the u. S. sector in
berlln was giving an interview to group of
visiting UN reporters, an interview reported
in detail by the STARS Victor Bernstein
Howley said, the u. S. A. wanted a ''show-
down" with Russia on everything from aban-
donment OF Russian propaganda against the
w est to less terror" for the Germans in the
Russian sector. Even admitting the danger
of letting American military men lay down
American foreign policy, Howley's statement.
served valuable purpose it cleared the air.
1t revealed that the Berlin currency dispute
has been used too long by the State Depart
ment as convenient weapon in the cold war
Thus both Connally and Howley cut
through the fog of pretense about the Berlin
quarrel. 1t would be to the benefit of all of
us If the State Department would acknowl-
edge the basic problem as candidly 1t might
then get on with the infinitely more import
ant job OF finding desperately needed solu-
lions, for the problems of what is to be done
about Germany is the whole problem of
peace.

Archie Parkes ranch, Vaughn, won
the coveted Northwest International
Hereford grand champion bull
award at Great Falls, and at Bill
1ings the following week he stood
again in championship position. Nu-
mode 29th, from the John E.. Rice
herd at Sheridan, Wyo, stood in
reserve champion position at both
shows. This bull was Montana
champion bull at Billings last year.
Champion female award went to

chief from the A. c.. Bayers ranch.
At Billings Emil Rezac, Tabor, S.

breeders standpoint, went to Parkes

Angus Division
A-A ranch, Encampment, Wyo.,
took most of the heavy awards in
the Angus division with strong COM
petition from Wilton Farms, Daven-
port, Iowa, and Ben Bovine, Ba-
tavia, Iowa. In the Shorthorn beef
division J. A. Collier &. Son, Fetch
er, Neb, stepped in to take the ma
jority of the prizes at the two shows,
at Great Falls his main competition
was ]. C. Price & Son, Conrad, who
took the grand champion female
award with Marigold Nita 18th. At

Best~Ever Agriculture Shows
Seen at State Fairs
By LARRY GILL


CAPACITY CROWDS swarmed
through the gates of the North Mon
tana State fair at Great Falls and
the Midland Empire fair at Billings
to see greater than ever displays of
the states agriculture, livestock,
and mineral displays. Machinery
row at both fairs were lined with
the latest models of regular line
equipment, as we'll as the relatively
large number of completely new and
different mechanical devices that
the inventive genius of America is
producing.
The agricultural wealth of the
state was displayed in row on row,
in booth after booth of potatoes,
corn, cereal grain, garden vege-
tables, forage crops, grasses and
flowers. Art patrons found a huge
building lined to the roof with oil
paintings, water colors, line draw
ings, cartoons, photographs; enough
to feast their yes on for hours at a
time.
Educational institutions together
with commercial manufacturers,
joined in making the mercantile
building a haven for those interest
ed in what is going on in the world.
For it was surely here that you could
find something old and something
new, something different all down
the line. In one booth an elaborate
working model of a mechanical
dairy cow, in another the first COM
petitive wool exhibit in Montana,
in another a relief map of the state
showing mineral distribution, and
on down the line past the glass
blower and the barker demonstrat-
ing his gadgets for peeling pota-
toes, to the commercial fertilizer
display, the new tangled window
storm sash, the electric eye garage
door opener, and even a new car
or two on display.
Rodeos and Racing
For the weary there were seats in
the grandstand to see daily after
noon racing and rodeo events with
nightly evening stage shows that
patrons praised highly.
Hundreds of fed and fitted cattle
from many states lined the aisles Of
the livestock barns to make this enc
of the fairgrounds one of the mos
popular tholoughfares. Edmond
Carol, Wilsall, walked off with the
greatest prize in the junior division
for feeding out different steers
which were awarded grand cham
pionships in the open division a
both fairs. Wayne Herrin, Helena
with a Hereford heifer bred ant
owned by him, won the All show
man award at Great Falls.

followed him in. Margaret fed the
dog and the yellow cat, and heard
Olav speaking to her, already as
though from far away.
I've got the team hitched ready
to start before it gets too hot.
You'd better keep Baldur in the
house. He's too old even to sit in
the wagon in this heat. It looks
like we're in for another scorcher."

drought. Whatever you want,
dearest" she told him. She could
feel the land breathing gratefully
outside the house when she finally
went to sleep in CLAWS arms.
There had been no more rain of
any consequence after that night,
but with the new year the knowl-
edge came without doubt to Mar
garet that she was going to have
another child. ;.
AND now, with the sound of a
freight train hurrying eastward
through the hot July night, her
husband muttering beside her in a
troubled dream, Margaret was
striving vainly for sleep that
would not come to her tired mind.
She knew that she had slept at
last, because Olav was easing him
self quietly from their bed so that
she should not be wakened.
The sun, copper and cloudless
as ever, was rising when she came
downstairs to make CLAWS break
fast. In spite of the cumbrous
burden of her body she felt
strangely light. 1t was her deci-
sion, she knew, that gave her this
ightness, this blessed release from
her feeling of doubt and response
bility.
Olav came into the kitchen di-
rectly his chores were done, for
breakfast. The collie Baldur had

all over and he would know that
she had taken the only way pos
sible. He would sell everything,
as he had promised, and he would
come to her and they would be
together again. Life without Olav
was unthinkable.
SHE took her crocheted reticule
from a drawer again and counted
the egg and chicken money she
had saved for her trip. There was
enough for her fare and a little to
spare for a sandwich and a glass
OF milk at train stops. She closed
the reticule, brushed the hair back
from her damp brows, and lifted
the valise from the floor. 1t wasn't
heavy. She would manage all
right, even in the heat.
There was a flutter in her throat
as she stood in the doorway and
took a last look about the bed
room. Her eyes misted suddenly
and she turned away and hurried
down the stairs. As she entered
the kitchen, the cat arched itself,
purring about her legs. Margaret
stopped absently to stroke it. The
dog Baldur whined to get out,
and Margaret said, mo, Baldur,
you stay in the house!"
There was nothing left to do
now but write the note she would
leave for Olav. She went to the
little shelf at the end of the cup
board where they kept a pad of
paper and pencil. 1t was then
that she saw CLAWS cotton tobacco

But the end of all that was in
sight now, she told herself, and
thought of her mothers spotless

and its huge towels and the soft
water gushing from its shining
faucets.
She packed her canvas tele-
