Nearly all politicians when seeking public office claim that
friends of labor and champions OF the rights
it did surprise when recent
visit Butte of the supporters of Tom Davis for the
office of United States Senator informed that Davis should
get very good labor had always been friendly
informed this supporter of Davis that labor had
many seeking public office but Davis not of
those who labor figured friendly to them.
Labor will forget the fact that Tom Davis acting
attorney for the Safeway Stores in 1888 appeared be-
fore Supreme the State of Montana and
tackled the constitutionaIity of the eghthour law.
In his argument to the court he commended that the law
inererred with the freedom of contract between employer
and employee and deprived the Safeway Stores of liberty
without process of law He also contended that the right
to purchase labor part of the liberty guaranteed by the
18th Amendment to the Constitution.
The only liberty the eighthour law deprived the Safeway
Stores of the right for them to make slaves OF their
employees making work long hours with regard
for the workers health welfare Davis argument in this

public is shown by the fact that if
three Montana REA Co-ops were al
lowed public line from Fort Peck,
electricity consumers would save mil
lions of dollars on the present rates
of the Montana Power Co."
"This congressional pandering to
the power trust is matched by its
obsequious attentions to the, inter
ests of the railroad, steel and cement
industries.
Having passed legislation ex-
empting the railroads from antitrust
prosecution on their rate-making
deals, it is now in the process of
the pricing system of the
steel and cement companies whereby
they make consumers pay fictitious
freight rates and are able to cut
the throat of any group that tries
to set up a competing company in
their local community"
This discussion of monopoly, Pat
ton said, brings US finally to the
subject of atomic energy.
'The greatest drive at the moment
is one aimed to remove the develop
ment and control of nuclear energy
from public hands and harness it to
private profit.
"The issue involved here is one of
the gravest facing the country today.
1t is a question of whether the pub
lies investment of So billion in dis
covering and utilizing natures basic
elemental force shall be used for the
good of all, or whether it will be
as a gift to the fertilizer,
chemical, power and electrical trusts
for private exploitation to become
the capstone in their efforts to gain
complete control of the country's in
dustrial and political life.
Because of this threat I feel it
to be in the public interest to call
upon the government to end its con-
tracts with such companies as Gen
eral Electric and Westinghouse, I'M
der which they are operating exist
ing atomic plants.
"Let the government take back
these. great factories of nuclear en-
argy," Patton concluded, "and OPP
crate them for the benefit of all the
people, without regard to private
profit.

shield and the sword of the people

thirty-third annual convention. The
meeting ends Saturday with the cleo
ton and installation of officers, and
banquet in Great Falls
Patton, in the main speech of the
opening session, told the Montana
farmers they ''would have to fight,
and fight hard, if they were going
to stop monopoly interests from
throwing agriculture into a bank
rupting depression.
"While farm income is dropping
and the parity price support program
is under attack, the big corporations
are waxing rich and creating more
industrial initiation" Patton said.
Quoting from The Wall Street
Journal, he said GA military pact
binding the U. S., Canada and west
ern Europe is on official drawing
boards It's key feature: billions
in military lend-lease' for U. S.
allies"
'This adds up to more initiation,
more billions in profits for war goods
industries, fewer farm machines,
houses, automobiles and other prod
ucts made from steel"
Patton said such military lend
lease program twill inevitably in
crease monopoly control of our in
dustrial economy, and thus America,
while trying to destroy one type of
collectivism we greatly fear, is set

just as oppressive of the peoples in
terests and liberties"
He called attention to the 'loop-
hole" in the antitrust laws which
permits Corporations to establish
without fear of prosecu-
ton by buying out competing firms.
Farm, labor and consumer organ
izations tried without success to get
the last congress to plug this hole.
That Congress was a sell-out to spe-
cial interests and wouldn't even seri-
ously consider decent piece of leg
cone of the greatest needs of the
country today is for honest, under

Patton singled out the power

Tucson Hadassah was signally
honored at the regional conven-

150%, and for the largest per-
entage increase in membership in
the region, in competition with
chapters in Southern California

This was the 9th attempt of the
UN to try to do something about
the war in the Middle East. The
truce was contained in a British
resolution submitted after the
USSR resolution similar to the
US one, paving the way for sane
tions, was defeated. Canada sup
ported it only after the ban on
Jewish immigration was removed
and the arms embargo extended
not only to Palestine but to all
the Arab states.
The cease-fire was to go into
effect Tuesday at 6 pm. Wednes-
day morning Israel reported the
Egyptians had violated the truce
on the southern border.
Israel made 5 conditions: that
the embargo would also apply to
the store of arms owned and con-
trolled by foreign governments,
but on Arab soil; positions would
be maintained as existed on the
cease-fire; the food-supply route
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
would be open; normal transport
by rail and sea of goods for Israel
and other states would not be
blocked; if immigration is not
hindered, none would be absorbed
in the military.
Whether Bevin plans to use this
truce period to try to get the UN
to modify the PARTITION plan, re-
mains to be seen. There are
many who attribute sinister mo-
tive to the British resolution. Be
vim would like the Negev to be
given the Arabs (for British mill
tary controD and Western Galilee
to the Jews in return. 1t is doubt
full this would be acceptable to
Israel.

William Davidson, president of
the Community Council which
supports the activity, stressed the
role that such a program plays In
developing the Jewish youth. He
hoped these activities impressed
the parents into recognition of the
need for community center and
would serve to encourage them to
make a substantial contribution
later for a center so that their
children could be brought up in a
Jewish atmosphere.
Mrs. Milton Cherry has been di-
rector of the youth activities since
its inception two years ago.
Tuesday night Junior sessions
will discontinue and instead dur
ing the summer, a day camp will
be held on Tuesday and Thurs
day afternoons beginning June 15.
Instructors will be a group of ex-
perienced teachers who conducted
classes during the past season:
Mrs. Al Brovas, Al Gotkin, Mrs.
Edward Huss, Martin Mazer, Ba-
bette Szerlip and Frances Smith.

Young Israel
Congregation
Increases Fund

Young Israel Congregation has
acquired two large sections of bur-
ial ground at Evergreen Gene
terry. With regard to the progress
on building plans, the architects
are now preparing the speciica-
tions and blueprints. Synagogue
officers expect to seek bids short
ly and to let the building contract
as soon after that as possible.
Hopes are still high that they
may have the Synagogue COM
pleted in time to worship there
during the High Holidays.
The first social event for the
benefit of the new, orthodox con-
gregation was a garden party CIV
en- last week by Mr.. and Mrs. Sey-
mour Roth, E. Drachman at which
more than 100 persons enjoyed
the gracious hospitality of the
Roths. Mr.. Roth is the newly cleo
ted congregation president. Reu-
ben Gold donated both the rattle
and the door prize.
Most outstanding pledges were
paid up at recent business meet
ing and several thousand dollars
additionally subscribed. Financial
help is also coming from individ-
uals in New York, prompted to
contribute because they regard a
Young Israel Congregation here
as the establishment of a new

Tel Aviv (Palcor)-The British
spent one hundred million pounds
($400, ,000,000) or about IL percent
of the last American loan to fight
Jewish immigration into Palestine
during 1946-47 by military and
other means, David Horowitz,
newly appointed Undersecretary
for the Treasury of Israel, stated
at a press conference here. To-
gether with arms supplies to the
Arab states the figure may be
brought up to about 20 percent of
the American loan, Mr.. Horowitz

GOldie MyersOn
In NY To Plea
For More Aid

Homeless Jews are now enter
ing the new State of Israel at the
rate of $4,000 month and before
the end of 1948 the total number
of immigrants to Palestine will
exceed 100000, Goldie Myerson
told gathering of the UJA in
New York a few days ago upon
arrival by plane from Palestine.
Mrs. Myerson called on these
leaders for financial support to
enable Israel to undertake this
huge resettlement program, the
largest in Jewish history. The
facilities of Tel Aviv are being
expanded to accommodate the
many ships that will dock there.
The $4,000 detainees at Cyrus will
be evacuated not later than Aug
ust l to Israel.
Other highlights of her talk
were a charge against the British
for responsibility for the war in
Palestine and deliberately seek
ing to destroy the Jewish state.
The conference adopted a reso-
luton urging Jewish communi-
ties to make a supreme effort to
provide UJA with $100 million in
cash by August l in addition to
the $50 million in cash already
contributed in response to Goldie
Myerson's first urgent plea sew
era1 weeks ago.
Countries who have recognized
Israel in addition to the US. are
South Africa, Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, Yugoslovia, Guatemala,
Uruguay and Nicaragua-eight in
all. Bevin urged members of the
British dominion governments to
withhold recognition of Israel,
citing "the delicate British posi-
tion."

Southern Governors
To Discuss Plan for
Regional Education
By the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Dec. THE South's
share -the-wealth move in college
education is expected to get out OF
the talking stage and into action
next week.
Southern Governors, fianked by
$50 college presidents and deans,
meet in Savannah next Sunday
Monday and Tuesday to discuss the
Nations pioneer plan for regional
education.
They are expected to adopt their
first specific program for regional
operations, in at least one field
veterinary education.
And they will outline more re-
search and spadework toward ex-
tending their scheme into almost all
branches of higher education.
Better Education Sought.
The idea is that by regional plan
ming and financing, the South can
provide far more and better educa-
ton than the single States coulG
work out individually.
Not all States, for example, can
afford an expensive veterinary
school. Demand would not justify a
separate school in each State, either
But by establishing several regional
schools, each State has almost all
the advantages of its own veterinary
college.
A research committee of educators
Is ready to recommend that veter-
mary schools at Oklahoma A. g. M.
Auburn, Tuskegee Institute for Ne
groes and the University of Georgia
be the first to embark on the re-
gional program.
1t should work like this:
A student from North Corolina
for example, could attend the
Georgia school at the same low
tuition charged for Georgia STU
dents. Otherwise, he would have to
pay higher out-of-State rates ano
might not be able to afford veteri-
nary education unless his own State
established school.
Low Rates Assured.
North Carolina, however, would
draw from regional education
fund to pay certain amount for
each student it sends to Georgia.
Thus the regional school would get
top financial support, with low rates
for all students.
Southern. Governors have been
talking about such a system since
they approved the general idea in
Asheville, N. c., in October, 1947.
They have created a regional edu-
cational council to work out details.
The council meets in Savannah with
the Southern Governors Confer
ence.
The specific operating plan for
veterinary education will be sub
mitted to State Legislatures this win
ter and spring. If many as six States
approve, regional education will be-
gin at the fall term in 1949.
States participating in prelimi-
naries are Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas
