Hazel Scott. Miss Scott, who received a
warm welcome at her other Montana con-
certs stopped over in Helena to perform for
the legislators on her way to South Dakota.
The state house was TANNED with inter-
ested people, to the point where there were
many disappointed onlookers. / was one of
them, and only got one glimpse of the big
eyed and gifted woman. But that she de-
lighted her listeners was obvious from the
intentness of the audience and the response
given her numbers
[ did rather gasp when the Speaker an
nounced the names of the members of the
house designated to escort Miss Scott to the
well of the house. To many it no doubt
meant little, but was an interested onlooker
when the vote was taken for FEPC in the
legislature-and two of the escorts had voted
against such legislation.
Then came the blow to end all blows
when prominent democratic committee
woman flounced into the offices of Dan Sui
Ivan and informed him it was a disgrace
that MISS Scott should be allowed to appear
in the state capitol. One rather wearies of

ture defined politician you become even

grace DO you wonder, too, if the national
committee would have as shallow a reaction,
after the firm stand taken by their standard

The really amazing thing about it all is,
though the senate committee interviewed
some of the same men as were questioned by
the house, the senate query apparently failed
to bring out single pertinent point that
these men willingly provided the house COM
mittee. Two men in particularly. H. Mac
Donald and ]. A. Buley, both former admin
istrators, in testifying before the house COM
nittee gave considerable testimony regarding
the interference of board member Wallace in
the actual operation of the monopoly-and
that his interference was major contribut-
ing factor in bringing about the designations
of both men. But, because of the nature of
the questions asked by the senate committee
Of these two men, everything concerning the
affairs of the liquor set up was Glove and
kisses.
The above examples are pointed out sim
ply to give some idea of the staged question
and answer" quiz show put on by the senate.
In addition, it should be noted that possibly
the most remarkable thing about this ''re-
port" is what it doesn't say s
Nothing concerning Billy Daniels "haul-
ing liquor and losing it, appears therein:
likewise, clean slate is given the banking
fraternity; the Egan-Alley interests are over
looked; and scant attention is paid to "Store
A" and it's favored position as dispensary
of good likker" during the war years.
Tn retrospect, the senate committee in
being kind" to all those connected with the
monopoly, has done too perfect job - of
withdrawing.

TWO DANGEROUS BILLS
GO TO GOVERNOR

The two worst bills thus far to
reach Governor Bonner's desk for
signature or veto, without doubt are
HB &c and lib SAT. The first
measure, should it become law,
would not only constitute gravy
train" proposition for oil men, but
would give them the right to perpet-
ual lease of school lands without any
possibility of re-negotiation.
The other measure - lib SAT
though apparently aimed at settling
family fight in the REA coop at
Wibaux, actually establishes two
kinds of voting members in a coop,
in direct contradiction to all estab-
lished cooperative principles Furth-
err, HB BAT may well be the opening
wedge for future legislation that
could drastically weaken, and posi-
bly, destroy the coop movement.
Both lib sc and lib SAT should be
vetoed by Governor Bonner.
The senate roll calls on both HB
Sc and HB BAT show "Ayes" as vot-
ing WRONG; mays" RIGHT:

By LOWNDES MAURY

Beating of Tom-Toms in Washing
ton did not start from any fear that
Russia would ever begin war. The
fear was that unless we threw bill
lions of the surplus product into
rat-holes in China, Greece, Turkey
German air-lifts, Amsterdam's wal
in Indonesia, and our own armament,
the undistributed wealth made in
America would cause market glut,
stoppage of factories, and depres-
sion.
In spite of waste of 80 billion the
year since VI day, our farmers and
other workers under the lash of an
economy of greed, have reached the
amazing point of exceeding the quo
ia, plus the waste. Larger stocks
than the market can absorb seem at
hand. Sequent unemployment is
rising rapidly. Truman cannot, as
Roosevelt did, push a nominally dem
ocratic, really capitalistic, congress
into doing what all should know must
be done to save our system, i.e.;
Rush internal public improvements.
The same men in public now know
the panic is "just around the cor
ner', so they are throwing off the
mask and beginning to talk sense.
Real Admiral E. M. Zacharias, on
February 21st, spoke in Butte, and
of all things, at regular knife
and Fork Club" meeting, If the
admiral had made the same speech
six months ago, he would have been
hailed before the committee headed
by Mr.. Thomas, now under indict-
nent for robbing the government.
The admiral himself might have been
by a hand sorted grand jury
'or sedition, if not even for treason,
or such speech last year.
"War is not imminent nor in
,vitable" says the admiral. Quite
rood, admiral, but not quite good
nough. Why not add on the next
top, Woodrow Wilson said "War l
rev out of rivalry for foreign mar
ets". Economists now know that
II foreign wars grow either out of
UGH rivalry, or to continue colonial
ppression; all civil wars spring from
Russia distributes as
asst as she produces.
Further, ''the United States should
ave moved out of Berlin some time

dmiral, but if the waste of 400 mil i
on dollars for the air lift had not
cen made there, Republican con-
ress would not have let it be used {

who said it was just plain murder

Also, Admiral, you might add:

Elusive B|ucksnuke CruwIs
Across Driver, Hides in Car

AS Charles Unglebower of Fred
ericksburg, Va. neared the Penn
Daw Hotel yesterday on his way
to work at 1854 Florida avenue
NE, a slithering. f1ve-foot free
ride passenger" crawled across his
lap and disappeared.
Mr.. Unglebower stopped his car
and he did it in a hurry. He
couldn't find the snake after
rather desperate rearrangement of
everything that could be moved
inside the car.
"Of course, everybody knows a
black snake doesn't hurt any,
body" Mr.. UngleboWer told fellow
workers at the Steamftters' Union
Local No. 602 as soon as he arrived.
With steamfitters Johnnie Forte
and Tom Goode assisting, Mr..
Unglebower began anew his search
Of the car. Mr.. Unglebower told his
companions just how it felt when
the snake made it's appearance.
Almost as disconcerting as its
brief sojourn across his lap, was
its disappearance.
Nov where on earth . :" Mr..
Unglebower exploded. The trio and
the car moved to a fire station on
