The facts relative to the Pick
Sloan plan will soon be in the hands
of Montana people, said Richard
Shipman, president of the Montana
MVA Association, following meeting
of its directorate, held in Great Falls
recently 1--WE have known some

years. Now we know most of them,

Public Affairs Institute of Wash

fifty-seven page report, signed and ap-
proved by Morris L. Cooke, nationally
known consulting engineer, David
Cushman Coyle, consulting engineer,
Walter C. Lowdermilk, international
conservation engineer, and J. Russell
Smith, geographer, which analyses the
Pick-Sloan plan and lays bare it's prob
able effect on the Missouri valley.
The Montana MVA is preparing to
circulate several thousand copies of
this report within the state.
Regional Committee for an MVA, a
ten state organization, under direction
of its chief engineer Col Jerome G.
Locke, has, with the assistance of an
other group of engineer, prepared
more elaborate and detailed report.
By entirely different methods of de-
termination, this report confirms what
was found by the group of Washing
ton, u. c., engineers and proves its
findings by an elaborate system of
charts, graphs, maps, and quotations
from the Bureau of Reclamation and
Army Engineers, who are the original
authors and sponsors of the Pick
Sloan plan. The MVA engineering
report will be printed during the sum-
mer and furnished to all members of
the next congress. In the meantime,
its findings will be distracted and
given to the Montana people. 1--WE

MONTANA DEMOCRATIC DELEGATION OPPOSED
GENUINE CIVIL RIGHTS PROGRAM

Editors Note: Those of you who
listened to the proceedings of the re-
cent Democratic convention will re-
delegation registered strong protest
over the handling of the voting of
that delegation on the civil ranks
plank. This plank, which had been
prepared by a minority of the COM
mittee assigned, although adopted
after a stiff convention fight, found
Montana delegates voting against it
and a genuine civil rights program
by a score of 1912 to 1 u.
The following letter from delegate
Myron Trip of Billings on the ac-
tions of the Montana delegation, is
enlightening:

as 1919 to u against a specific en-

and in the armed forces, untrammeIed

After Saturday, July 10, no caucus
of the Montana delegation was held,

The Brass Hats and Mad Hatters
in Washington are beginning to real
ize that the Marshall plan has become
the disastrous fiasco of all history.
Old General Marshall with soldierly
bluntness some weeks ago said: cit
may succeed yet" This is a confes-
sion of failure up to the present time.
To prevent the voters from realizing
this failure before the election, and
beating at the polls both Truman and
Barley, the "T.B." (tuberculosis)
ticket, and Dewey and Warren who
guided by Herbert Hoover are equally
for the plan" Gen. Luciuc D. Clay

the Berlin incident to get us into war
We have no legal right to maintain
our administrative offices in Berlin.
At Potsdam, Germany was divided
into four sectors: American, French,
British, Russian. Berlin is 100 miles
inside of the Soviet sector. AS mat
ter of good will, the Americans have
been permitted to keep in Berlin ex-
ecutives and their aids and families,
about 10000 persons. For three years
now, our paid Press has been peddling
false propaganda against the Krem-
lin. AS if Russia were arming and
drilling Mexico against us, we have
been arming and drilling Turkey,
Greece, and China, against Russia
Finally, when our monopoly capital
crowd determined to re-arm Germany,
as we did after world war |, the
Soviets have affirmatively, perhaps
rudely, told us that our welcome in
Soviet-held territory is worn thin;
that it would be pleasanter for both
if we get out

In the evening U. S. Representative
Mansfield told me he had voted in

Some believed it was necessary to
compromise on the civil rights issue
in order to conciliate southern reac-
tionaries and thereby increase Presi-
dent Truman's vote in November. But
it may have been wiser politics to
squarely face and rightly decide this
recurrent problem in a year when
Democratic political fortunes are adj
at low ebb. In view of the

should be no equivocation on this
great moral issue. Cordially yours,

former Senator Wheeler, ION business
in Germany, where he once made
many friends, to help in renewing the
old carteis?)
1t is no secret that the Republican
heads want war, and want to re-arm
Germany. That was their policy for
Is years before World War II. Do not
forget the Dawes plan This absolved
Germany from paying PREPARATIONS so
that the funds could go into re-arming.
The final word to the world that
the rulers of America want war, to
keep our economy going, was when
Republican Congress enacted the
Universal CONSUMPTION law. (How
any woman with a high school edu-
cation can vote for Truman or

The Russians have no right to de-
mand that they set UP executive Of

have as little excuse for further main
tanning ours in Berlin.
Some capitalist papers tell us
few facts truthfully. Among these
is the New York Times, and the
United States News, both Republican,
both reactionary. Both are lately
that the Marshall plan is
collapsing. When that collapse can
no longer be concealed by the prop
uganda sheets, the popular reaction
against Truman and Dewey should be

is a Godsend to that press. 1t pro-

former talk about the beauty of the

third term in the governorship. Ford
received 39,021 votes to 1924 for
Young in 995 precincts. Mike Kuchera

Hottest major Democratic race was
that for the gubernatorial nomination
which saw former Attorney General

margin over his four opponents. Com

In the Republican primary the most
interesting contest was for the U. S.
senate nomination, which pitted Tom
J. Davis, Butte attorney, against Wei
lington d. Rankin, Helena, who lost
to Murray in 1882 by only 1912 votes.
Although Rankin apparently carried
almost 40 counties in the state, heavy
Davis support in the cities of the state
gave the latter the nomination. Total
vote from 1894 precincts gave Davis
3O,OOS to Rankin's 1926.
Congressional races found both in
cumbent congressman, Mansfield CD

Tightest race of all was for Demo

However, if you produce any of
your own food and have a surplus

then home preservation is saving.
If food can be bought inexpensive

at less cost than bought canned
foods-you'll be far ahead. An ex-

years has been Delaware's great

Food preservation season is at
hand and many people are up to
their elbows in this work. Before
we get knee deep in it let's get
completely anatomical and use our
heads.
Many people preserve food with
no apparent reason except that it's
part of their family heritage. The
results may not justify the expend-
iture.
However, there are many valid
reasons for canning. Some people
can foods from the sheer pleasure
of it. For the woman whose corn
and tomatoes ripen in large
amounts over night, this is difficult
to believe.
Some foods, purchased and pre-
served in small quantities do not

Health News
From
State Board of Health

To get the most from that long
awaited vacation, now that the hot
summer days are really here, the
State Board of Health advises
keeping physically fit. In the sum-
mer, when many of us are away
from home, eating in new places,
getting into crowds, becoming
overheated and cooling off quickly,
many people pick up infections.
Already the summer cold is
making the rounds, and health Of
ficials say it should not be regard
ed too lightly. 1t may not be 'just
a cold" and should it last more
than just few days, it is some
thing which warrants the attention
of a physician. Such symptoms as
chilliness, followed by fever, an
aching back, sore throat, or per-
sistent cough, fain, heaviness and
tightness in the chest need profess
sional attention at once.
In order to prevent a summer
cold, try to maintain high level
of resistance says the State Board
of Health, by sleeping at least
eight hours night; by wearing
the proper clothing for the wealth
er; by eating goodly amount of
the protective foods which are
rich in vitamins, such as milk,
eggs, butter, fresh vegetables and
fresh fruits. If your vacation is
going to be spent in travelling, try
to choose clean public eating plac-
es, be sure that the milk and water
are safe, and avoid crowds as
much as possible.
Vigorous sports are often a part
of a vacation, which may be
healthful if not overdone. There
is, however, a danger of becoming
overheated and cooling off too
quickly. A cold shower is not the
healthful invigorator it is COM
monty believed to be if it is taken
immediatel following an active
game of tennis or golf.
A vacation to many people
means a chance to relax and rest,
but rest in bed with a cold is not
much fun for vacation. However,
whether a summer cold chooses
vacation time or work time, the
State Board of Health advises rest
in bed, keeping warm and dry, and
drinking plenty of water and fruit
juices and milk. If the summer
cold does not clear up soon, health
officials say, call physician for it
