Those Allowed by Pac1
By ,he A.,oeio,ed Pres.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 81
Russia, in a note to Hungary, has
stressed that a reduction OF Soviet
military strength in this country
was effected by December IA, In
conformance with Article "a Of the
Hungarian Peace Treaty, q govern
ment announcement said today.
The statement said Russia ex-
planned that Soviet Army forces
remaining in Hungary are "only
those units which are necessary to
secure the lines Of communications
to the Soviet occupation zone in
Austria.
Eyewitness Survey Disputed.
The Russian note was handed to
Communist Matyas Rakosi, deputy
Hungarian premier and acting for
eign minister, by Soviet Minister
Gregori Pushkirf on December 80,
the statement said.
On December Is the Associated
Press reported on the basis OF an
eyewitness field survey that Soviet
forces still in Hungary included
$4,000 troops. 400 fighter planes
and so tanks.
The Hungarian foreign minister
later characterized this dispatch as
'Hbel" but did not issue any other
figure on Soviet forces.
The Soviet note, as released TO-
day. likewise did not disclose the
strength or composition of Rus
sian lines of communications
units. Presumably those units will
stay in Hungary as long as Austria
| is occupied.
| Authoritative Western Allied
sources have said that 5000 troops
would be a generous" number for
Soviet communications require
ments here. The peace treaty Hun
gary signed with the Allies makes
no stipulation as to the number.
The 400 Soviet fighter planes are
reported still visible on airfields at

Bids Opening May Delay Until April 8

Indications are that call for
bids on the 52O-foot high Hungry
Horse dam, the worlds fourth
largest concrete structure, will be
delayed from April 1 to April q.
Responsible for the possible
weeks delay is the April open
ing in Denver for furnishing the
required 2,5OO,OOO barrels of ce-
ment to build the dam. These
specifications call for delivery of
100000 barrels in 1949.
Firms interested in the prime
contract prefer to know more alb
out results of the April 2 opening
on cement before submitting bids
on the big dam itself. The delay
would be at their request.
While bids to build the dam it
self will be opened at Hungry
Horse, there is an opening this
Tuesday in Denver for four 1885,
900 horsepower turbines and go
vernors, and another on April
in Denver for four $4,000 kva gen.
orators.
Also likely to be called in April
with a May opening are two or
three schedules for finishing and
erecting 46 prefabricated types
of single homes at Hungry Horse
village. Another contract is to con-
struct 20 single unit homes of q
permanent type, and there is al
so the building of a SO by 128-
foot annex, doubling the present
office in size.
These series of contracts will
also provide for erection of the
quonset-type 40 by 200-foot ga
rage and fire station, materials
furnished and a 24-room mems
dormitory.

Airmail Suggested
As Most Practical
North Fork Service

Airmail service is offered in the
only bid submitted so far for the
62-mile long twice a week star
route from Bolton to the Canad-
ian line.
J. S. Mcfarland of the Quarter
Circle NC ranch, Polebridge, mas
asked the government for con-
tract to have mail flown up the
thinly populated valley that bor-
ders Glacier national park on the
west. Bid closing is Thursday.
Present carrier, Earl Ryan re-
ceives S2,677 annually for the Tu-
esday and Friday run. It is con-
sidered one of the most difficult
mail routes, with the road snow
blocked for as many as six months
a year. Ryan has a snowmobile,
and his mail carrying exploits
include being stopped and charg-
ed by bull moose. With his equip
ment worn, he is no longer inter-
ested in the contract.
Mcfarland proposes that a
plane flight to Polebridge and
Trail creek from Bolton with car
service to Lake Five is the most
efficient way for Uncle Sam to
see that patrons on the Flathead
rivers north fork get their mail.
