Sen. MURRAY Files FOR REELECTION

Senator James e. Murray's nominal
ing petition for third full term in
the United States Senate was filed
with Secretary of State Sam w. Nit
chell Thursday, April 30.
Murray, who is seeking to continue
in office as Montana's senior senator,
was first elected to the senate for a
two year term in 1884 to fill out the
unexpired term of the late Sen. t.
Walsh He was reelected to a full
term in 1886 and again in 1912. The
Montana solon now ranks twelfth III
seniority in the senate and if the
Democrats regain control of the SEN
ate, he would be certain to become
chairman of a major committee. At
the present time he, serves on the In
terror and Insular Affairs committee
which covers such subjects as mines
and mining, irrigation and reclama-
ton, Indian affairs and Alaskan mat
ters. He also serves on and was once
chairman of the Labor and Public
Welfare committee which includes
labor relations, social security, educa
ton and other related subjects.
The senator's nominating petition

Can military court at Nuremberg is

verdict handed down against Hjalmar
Schacht, Nazi financial wizard, by a
4-power tribunal in 1916 In each in
stance the judges alleged their belief
that the evidence of guilt was not
sufficient And in each instance evi-
dence of guilt-on the record was
overwhelming.
Forecast Tragica!ly indicated
Acquittal of the Krupp gang tragi-
cally vindicates the forecast in my
book, Treason's Peace, that the
Schacht decision was deliberately de-
vised in order to provide "the judicial
safe haven and high precedent for
the future freeing of the l. G.. Farben
and other German war criminals who
spanked and powered the Hitler war
slaughter.
The two remaining counts in the
Krupp Indictment mean nothing The
dismissal of counts 1 and in this
case substantially ends any probable
ity of guilty findings on the other
counts. Count covers plumber and
spoliation of victim countries. Count
s covers abuses in the use of slave
labor All such offenses are already
covered by the disnissals.
Count 1, as dismissed, in various
sections accuses the defendants of re-
sponsibility for and participation in
invasions of victim countries, looting
and pIundering their properties, and
for enslavement, torture and murder
of millions of persons. Count 4, also /
is a catch-all which covers
the entire common plan" or conspir-
acy to commit war crimes and crimes

". JOIluSOu w., COlO.), TO llIn-
it power of broadcasting sta
tions to $4,000 watts.
The Johnson bill changes
nothing in the current situation
Some Sc stations in the us. broad
cast with power of $4,000 watts. No
regular station is licensed to use more
than $4,000 watts. Even so, the big
stations, ontably WLW in Cincinnati
and XII in Los Angeles, have put on
a power play to kill the bill in COM
mittee.
A few of the biggest and richest
stations want to use power as great
as 100000 watts. Their application
for the tremendous power increase is
being considered by the Federal Com
munications Commission.
The Johnson bill would not hurt
the big stations now but it would stop
their plans for expansion. To kill the
bill, they have lined up an impressive
show of strength, largely from farm
organizations.
Basic to the situation is the fact
that while the sky looks unlimited,
the number of radio channels for or
binary commercial broadcasting is
definitely limited The FEC has set
up 106 such channels. 1t has to pa
troll the use of the atmosphere for
broadcasting. If two stations in the
same region were allowed to use the
same channel, the more powerful sta
ton would drown out the smaller.
Would Squeeze Out Small Stations
II big stations are allowed to in
crease their power over the present
$4,000 watt limit, their broadcasts will
reach across the country and ruin the
small stations in the same wave
lengths. Since there are only LOG
channels in all, relatively few big OPP
orators could monopolize the air.
Farm organizations have been the
most impressive witnesses for the big
stations. They have laid a real prob
lem before the senate committee.

find any of these Krupp leaders guilty
of spoliation or slave labor atrocities.
In its important aspects the Krupp
Indictment followed that of the Far
ben leaders, whose case is still under
consideration. Main differences are
that there are twice as many Farben
defendants and the charges are more
voluminous.
Tribunal Rules Rugged
In numerous published articles and
public lectures | have outlined the
pre-arranged schemes to force the ac-
quittal of the Farben, Krupp and other
industrial war criminals. Included in
these charges have been the rigging
of the rules of the American tribun-
ais at Nuremberg to compel accept
ance of the Schacht acquittal as a
precedent and obvious improprieties
in the selection of little known attor-
neys and jurists to handle these cases.

a gross head of $50 feet and total
storage of 100000 acre feet and
then turn it over to the power COM
pany for an annual rental of 100000
per year. The company would then
install power plant at the dam to
serve the Montana people with cleo
trio power But it seems that the
Reclamation Service, according to the
report has failed to properly appre
ciate the great generosity of the pow
er company and has been rather
brusque about the whole thing. This,
of course, is cause for lamenting on
the part of the company and envision-
ing the development by it of the
growth of Communism, Socialism,
etc.
In it's lament in the report, the
company weeps more figurative tears
over the use of the public's money
taxpayers money! for the construc-
ton and operation of hydro-electric
plant and transmission line together
with the irrigation storage. This sug-
gests an alternative proposition that
the government could make to the
power company, since it is so con-
cerned about the taxpayers money.
This might be that the company
should agree to pay it's taxes out of it's
net earnings and not include them in
the fees charged for service. Thus
the company could prove that it is
sincerely interested in the taxpayers
welfare.

By H. S. BRUCE

A horrendous word picture of the
possible specialization of power pro-
duction in the nation was sketched by
j. E. Corrette, vice president of the
Montana Power Company, before the
electrical students at Montana State
College this week The power COM
pany official stated that the depart
ment of interiors electrical program
could lead only to Communism, So
cialism and destruction of individual
opportunity and freedom"
This gloomy outlook of Corrette's
may have been caused by considera-
tions other than concern for the main
tenance of individual opportunity
and freedom. He would undoubt-
eddy have been more accurate had he
related as the cause of his concern the
possibility that the freedom of the
Montana Power Company for unre-
stricted monopoly profit exploitation
is jeopardized; the immediate worry
being the situation developed by the
Reclamation Services policy in con-
nection with the Canyon Ferry dam.
Crocodile" Tears
Figurative tears are shed on this
question in the annual report of the
Montana Power Company to its stock
holders at the end of 1947. 1t tells of
the generous Ito the power company
offer it has made to the Reclamation
Service This offer is for the govern
ment to construct the dam to provide

Radio signals must be strong enough
for farmers to get clear reports on
weather and markets. Therefore they
ask for more powerful stations.
The joker here is that stations can
be closer to farm centers instead of
being kept in cities and made so
powerful they blast little stations out
of business. NJ. l.. Wilson, long time
leader in farm extension work in the
Agriculture department proposed a
net work of rural stations of moderate
strength to give best service to farm
ers.
Present FEC authority for the 3d.
600 watt restriction comes from res
olution passed in the senate in 1888.
At that time station WLW was oper-
ating under five year license with
100000 watts power. Since then the
$4,000 watt ceiling has been main
tanned
The big stations expect to break
the FEC policy if they can
kill the Johnson bill in the senate.
Main support for the bill is coming
from small stations.

In its report of its ''generous"
offer to the Reclamation Service the
company does not mention that the
annual rental it offers would mean the
nominal rate of less than IA per cent
on the amount that the government
would have invested in the Canyon
Ferry dam at the estimated cost which
is practically certain to be materially
increased Just where is there any
concern on the part of the company
for the poor taxpayer in this?
And where is it's great concern for
the taxpayer in connection with what
the company would realize in profits
from its distribution of electric power.
1t proposes to construct $4,000 kilo-
watt generating plant which would
produce ITO million kilowatt hours
per year which it would sell for about
81, 100000. The cost of the general
ing plant and transmission lines re-
quired would be completely amort-
lied by sales of current in couple
of years and from then on million
dollars ''velvet" would accrue to this
great benefactor annually.
Nor is that all. The Canyon Ferry
dam, if the company could get abso
lutte control of it would increase its
present water storage five times to in
crease the power capacity of its five
plants below Canyon Ferry by some
25 or 80 per cent. And of course the
would not devote this in
crease in capacity to public use with

out remuneration despite it's great
concern for the public's good.
The Cruel Reclamation Service
The report really sobs over the cold
demands of the Reclamation Service
that it convey to the government for
consideration fixed by board of
appraisers appointed by the Secretary
of the Interior, all of its lands involved
in the dam SITE If the company re-
fuses to do this, the government will,
of course, have to proceed with con-
demnation action.
The report claims that it COM
piled with all existing laws at the
time it constructed the present Can
yon Ferry dam. 1t might be re-
minded that it failed to secure from
the state a license covering the bed
of the river, which is property of
the state, the river being a naviga-
BILE stream. SO it is actually tres
passing on state lands with it's pres
ent dam.
I am inclined to think that the
general public will not suffer too
much if the government goes through
with it's plans to build the dam and
develop and sell to the owners (the
public--the taxpayers) the power pro-
duced, rather than enriching the Mon
tana Power Company. The only ones
that will weep over this "Communis-
tic" plan will be the company which
sees some of it's easy profiteering at
the public's expense, disappearing.

FLASH

Just as we are about to go to
press, we note that Mr.. Corrette
has tempered his statement to the
students of electricity at Montana
State College about Communism"
in connection with Canyon Ferry
dam, and waste of taxpayers mon
ey in it's construction and opera
ton. From this later lament OF
the Montana Power official, we
gather that it would not be con-
sidered communistic action on the
part of the government if it builds
the dam for the profit making ben
eft of the Montana Power COM
pany. So there is still a chance
of salvation for Uncle Sam.

Egyptian police in a house in the
Cairo suburbs is linked to recent

World Congress For
Jewish Culture To Take
Place in New York

In the days of the 10th to the
22nd of September an extraordin-
airy World Jewish Congress will
take place in New York. Jewish
writer's and scholars, educators
and artists from every continent
will get together for the purpose
of determining ways and means of
strengthening Yiddish culture.
Jewish culture is passing through
a serious crisis today. True, there
are millions of Jews who speak
Yiddish and make use of Jewish
cultural creativeness. But the
former center of this culture
European Jewry-has ceased to
exist.
There is no place today where
Jewish culture is concentrated.
The Jewish masses who make use
of Jewish culture are scattered
the world over. The greatest
number of Yiddish speaking Jews
are now in America. Jewish or
in America interested
in the development and intensifi-
cation of Jewish culture have been
invited to participate in the Con-
gress. Invitations were extended
to various Jewish Community
Councils known to be interested
in Jewish culture and Yiddish.

government will contribute troops
only through the United Nations
and only if other nations do like
wise, he indicated.
Replying to a correspondents
question, Truman confirmed that
the United States is considering
$500, 100000 loan through the Ex-
port-Import Bank for Israel. He
noted that the Bank is the only
possible source of an American
loan to Israel.
The United States Government
has rejected a request made by
U. N. mediator for Palestine Count
Folke Bernadotte to provide Amer
lean troops for use in keeping the
truce in Palestine, Secretary of
State George c. Marshall told
press conference this week.
Bernadotte asked the U. S. to
send a body of American troops
to Palestine to assist in keeping
order there until U. N. police
force of about 1000 which he re-
quested the u. N. to establish
could be formed, Secretary Mar
shall said. The United States, he
added, rejected the request to send
American troops but the Security
Council is still working on the
question of police force and has
not yet come to a decision. He
indicated that the U. S. would
abide by that decision. Marshall
pointed out that the U. S. has
already agreed to Count Berna-
dotte's request for 1875 U. S. truce
observers in Palestine.
Asked if the British Government
had recently asked this govern
ment to join in new discussions
on Palestine, Secretary Marshall
at first said that he did not know.
Then he explained that the matter
had been subject of discussion
Between the two governments as
long as he had been Secretary of
State and particularly during the
last six months.
