|Sugur Beet Crop
Lower This Yedr;
Price Still Good

Montana's sugar beet crop
took a sharp dive this year, as
compared with the 1947 tom
mage but the price per ton was
only slightly lower, according to
Albert HI. KruSe, state commits
sioner for agriculture.
Growers harvested $4,000 acres
this year, while last years crop
spread over 1900 acres. On an
average basis of IL tons per
acre, this years crop would
near the 768, 900 ton mark as
against about $4,000 tons in
1947.
The 1947 crop brought SLABS
a ton, including benefit pay
ments. This years mangleS will
go about $3.50. Producers
planted 69,183 acres in beets
this year, but the extra acreage
was abandoned due to extra
ordinary dampness in the
spring. 4
Commissioner Kruse said the
reduction in planted acreage
this year was due to labor
shortage, and to the high bene-
fit prices offered on competitive
crops. In some areas the per
acre yield was up from last
year, but it could not overcome
the effect of the reduced acre
age. Sugar content of Montana's
beetS-Which determines the
final price paid the grower-Was
high this year, especially in the
MiSsoula district.
The commissioner said there
was a marked increase this year
in the usage of mechanical beet
harvesting implements. The
beets in Cascade county were
harvested 90 per cent by ma
chimes, while in the Glendive
area the iron harvesters ac-
counted for more than SO per
cent of the crop.
Kruse said the mechanical
harVeSterS will undoubtedly
prove a boon to Montana beet
growers, as they will reduce the
annual trouble caused by farm
labor shortage. Use of the me-
chanical harvesters also per-
mits the crop to be left in the
ground LONGER, increasing the
sugar content, with less danger
of being caught in the Ground
by freezing weather. Weight
shrinkage caused by. evaporation
is also reduced, as the beets
are exposed to the air for less
time than when harvested man
ually, the commissioner said.

ease up for a few moments
and let us catch our breath!
Like rumorS at a bridge
party, we can't keep up with
them. A few weeks back, the
Air Force disclosed that the
XII jet plane had flown 200
miles an hour faster than
sound. Then the same type of
plane pushed the speedomet-
er to 1880 m.pm.! Sound
speed is 761 m.p.h. at sea
level. Now an Oak Ridge
scientist says we're getting
close to the development of
an atom-driven airplane that
will go faster and farther
than anything we've seen yet.
Well, we may not know where
we're going but it looks
as though We'll get there in
a hurry!

ported thieves had stolen

AUTOMATIC A
FOR STUDENT-VETS

AUTOMATIC LEAVE
FOR STUDENT-VETS
Student veterans are remind
ed by the Veterans Administra-
ton that they must inform the
VA at least 80 days ahead of
time If they do not wish to
draw subsistence allowances
during the winter vacation per-
iod.
Unless notified a month be-
fore the end of the fall term
veterans will be granted leave
automatically and paid full
subsistence during the period
between fall and winter terms.
The leave policy, adopted a
year ago, allows unbroken sub
Sistence payments to all veter-
ans attending college under the
@. !. Bill. Under the plan a vet
eran receives payment for the
full enrolment period certified
to the VA by the educational
institution he attends, provid-
ing there are no more than fiji
teen days between terms.
Time spent on leave, between
terms and at the end Of the
school year, is charged against
the veterans educational en-
titlement.
The VA said that some veter-
ans probably would prefer to
sacrifice the leave privilege in
order to make use of the en-
titlement for actual schooling.

PhiIco TeIevision Case
Passed On 10 FEC
By the Assoeiated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.-The
Philco Corp. has failed in an at
tempt to restrain the American
Telephone g. Telegraph Co. from
interfering with its receiving and
sending certain television broad
casts.
Judge William H. Kirkpatrick
ruled yesterday that Federal Court
has no jurisdiction in the contro-
versy. He held the matter was one
for the Federal Communications
Commission to decide.
Philco sought to restrain the A.
T. & T. from refusing to furnish
its Philadelphia station, WPTZ,
with lines to carry telecasts to and
from the National Broadcasting Co.
NBC uses telephone transmission
facilities but Philco has its own wire
connection with New York. Under q
contract with NBC, Philco sends
certain Of its telecasts originating
here to New York and receives some
from the broadcasting company.
Philco contended that A. r. & +
told NBC not to relay last Saturdays
Villanova-Army football game to
WPTZ.
A. T. & T. declared it had the
right as a common carrier" to
impose conditions on its clients to
insure the highest standard" o1
service and to restrict its clients ir
the distribution Of its services to
stations which do not use A. T. &
T.s transmission facilities.

VIENNA, Austria. Sept. 2s.-Two
American oil men expelled from
Communist controlled Hungary
said today they had been forced to
sign statements saying they
sabotaged production in the Hun
garian plant of the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey.
It was a case of "sign or else" ac-
cording to Paul Ruedemann of
Hartsdale, N. Y, chairman Of the
American-owned Hungarian COM
pany. He and his deputy, George
Bannantine of st. Louis, denied en-
phatically all charges of sabotage.
The two said Hungarian economic
police told them: Go along with us
or we will find a way to make you. :"
They were expelled from Hungary
Saturday after seven days OF ques-
tioning. The two left Vienna today
by plane for New York.
They said they held out for four
days before finally signing the
statements, which said they were
criminals engaged in sabotage on
orders from the United States.
They said they had to gamble
that the statements would not be
used against them in court.
Both men gave credit for their
release to fast work by the Amer
ican Legation in Budapest,

In addition to the Eastwind, the
NAVY icehreaker Edisto and the
Navy cargo vessel Wyandotte made
up the fleet.
Although no fatal mishaps were
reported, the dangers that ever sur
round an Arctic explorer took their
toll.
The Edisto, first of the ships to
bore to a new record past 85 north
latitude, was the victim Of the wild
countrys capriciousness the very
day the new mark was set.
Out OF seemingly ice-free waters
there suddenly loomed foes Of 30
foot thickness, and in its battle Tor

two screws. The ice-breaker re-
turned to its Boston base for re-
pairs and rejoined the task force
four weeks later.
This was not the only frightening
aspect of the struggle with ever
changing conditions. Although the
men remained comparatively warm
in so-degree temperatures and dry
air. they discovered it was best te
be prepared for anything.

VA Holding Up Bulk
OF Training Requesk

The Veterans Administration now
is holding up more applications for
vocational training under the CT
bill than it is approving, officials
disclosed today.
Action on 6,o62 training requests
was deferred last month, while only
1897 were approved. VA reported.
Delay in most cases is to determine
whether the applications conform
to the new congressional ban on
avocational and recreational train
ing.
To qualify under the revised law,
the veteran must submit proof that
the course is related to his present
or future occupation. +:
More than half Of last months
requests were for flight instruction
or other aviation courses. OF 6,343
such applications reviewed, only
2,427 were cleared. A total Of 144
were disapproved outright and more
data was asked on the rest.
Photography Jared somewhat bet
ter, with 963 approvals, 8 reflections
and 433 holdovers.
Flying lessons alone cost the
Government more than $200,00o000
prior to the new rules, according to
VA. Ballroom dancing was another
popular-and expensive-nonvoca-
tional subject.

UEW
(Continued From First Page)

Matles shouted at the chairman.
"I will not submit to your political
inquisition."
It was then that Mr.. Kersten
asked him whether he Is or ever
has been a member OF the Com
munist Party. :,
The witness replied that he would
stand on his constitutional rights
and refuse to answer the question.
Conroy Testimony Attacked.
James J. Conroy OF New YORK,
who said that he was member OF
both the Communist Party and the
UEW for years, was the first witness
today when the committee resumed
its investigation Of the UEW alter
q recess of several weeks.
Mr.. Conroy said the electrical
union is completely" dominated by
Communists and that UEW leaders
follow the Communist Party line
to the last period and comma"
Mr. Matles said later that Mr.
conroy 'lied" to the COMMITTEES.
A heated exchange with the COM
mittee began when Mr.. Kerster
asked the UEW organization direc-
tor if he had heard Mr.. Conroy's
testimony.
"I don't come from the gutter.
answered Mr.. MATES bellisereutly
HE comes from the gutter"
"It is part Of the Communist Party
to smear persons, isn't tt?" Mr.
Kersten asked the witness. "What
else is wrong with Mr.. Conroy?"
Declared to Stand for Evil.
"He is no good" replied MIR
Matles. "He is out to wreck our
union. He is a management man
The same thing is wrong with him
as is wrong with you. He stands fol
everything that's evil, just as you do
MIR. Congressman. You're not PROUD
of the American Constitution at all.
At one point Mr.. Matles pointed
out that he had just been elected te
office by the union convention foi
another term and that Chairman
Kersten still had his election before
him.
II don't blame you for trying to
make some hay while there's sun
shine" Mr.. Matles shouted at the
chairman, "You only have q couple
Of months to CO."
During the hearing. Chairman
Kersten showed Mr.. Matles a Com
munist Party card and asked him
il he had ever seen one before. The
witness replied that he had not.
Stains Writings Quoted.
Mr.. Kersten read at length ex-
cerpts from the writings OF Prime
Minister Stain and repeatedly
asked Mr.. Matles If he was in ac-
cord with what the Russian leader
had said. The witness replied 1t
was Mr.. Stalin's business to write
whatever he wanted to and he
shouted at the committee chair
man:
"Why don't you read something

| that Lincoln or Jefferson said. once
In q while? Are you interested u
saving our union?"
II am interested" Mr.. Kersten
said, "in saving your union from
Communist domination"
Eyes, you are interested in saving
the union by voting for the Taft
Hartley bill, by killing housing and
supporting the Mundt- Nixon bill,
retorted Mr.. Matles. THAT Is q hell
of way to run railroad"
Carey's Charge Denied.
Referring to the testimony of Mr..
Carey to the effect that the UEW
is front" for the Communist
Party, and that some industry en-
ployers willingly cooperate with
Communist union leaders because
they can be dealt with easier than
bona fide union officers, Mr.. Matles
said.
I'm here to tell you that you
had a liar here by the name of
Carey, and you have evidence of it.
He lied when he said the companies
discriminate against anti-Commu-
nists, and you know that he lied"
Julius Emspak, UEW secretary
treasurer, and Russ Nixon, the
unions Washington representative,
were scheduled to follow Mr.
Matles in testifying.
The two officers Joined with Mr.
Matles in a formal statement charg-
ing that "the proven aims of the
Hartley (House Labor Committee
are to seek to weaken and destroy
labor organizations which are most
effectively fighting in the peoples
behalf against the drive Of big
business to wiring greater profits
from the toll of Americas working
men and women"
The statement charged that the
activities of the committee Include
a shameful record of strikebreaking
storm troop indictments, forgery
lies, blacklistings and open appeals
to force and violence"
