RELIGION:
IS Priests Held

Charging the church with using
an underground communications
network, the Communist govern
ment in Czechoslovakia arrested
priests in an effort, it said, to
smash the organization.
THERE were indications that de-
spite the arrests, the system was
still working because it was needed
by the church to maintain contact
between its priests and their .bish-
ops.
As a point in proof of the con-
tinued operation of the system, it
was pointed out that parish priests
still are sending in declarations to
the government that they would
rather 60 to Jail than obey a new
church-control bill which the Com
munists proposed to enact.
PRIESTS who have been sending
in these declarations say they will
never accept appointment from
anyone except their freely-acting
church superiors.
The church has demanded that
the government call off its war
against the clergy if it wants to
enter into any new negotiations for
an agreement as to the role of
church and state in the govern
mental setup.

The new refinery, Continental's
largest and northern-most plant in
the Rocky Mountain states, Will
have a daily crude oil capacity of
$500 barrels. The plant will en-
ploy about $50 men and have a
payroll of approximately a half
million dollars annually.
Located in the southeast section
of Billings, near the Yellowstone
River, the refinery is on 113-acre
tract of land to allow ample room
for f ture expansion. Products
from the plant will be marketed
in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
North Dakota and other areas of
the Rocky Mountain region.
Consisting of operating units that
are unique in contrast to the con-
ventional processing methods, the
refinery was designed to handle a
blend of crudes of such high sui
phur asphalt contents as to prohibit
processing in the usual manner. The
plant was located ct Billings to help
care for the growing demands
throughout the surrounding area
for high quality refinery products.
Comprising the modern pro-
cesses of catalytic cracking, cata-
lytic desulphuriZation ard poly
merization and solvent extraction
OF asphalt, the plant will m"1riac-
ture a high octane gasoline and a
full line of burning fuels and resi-
dual oils. Crude will flow to the

Relax, Fellows

All was serene, at least for the
moment, between the American
army and the American air force.
The army apologized and thus end
ed a "battle" crisis growing out
of the army's challenge of an air
force claim that a mythical "ene-
my" armored force had been wiped
out in war games in Germany.
The air force general in COM
mand, after the army blast at his
claims, had threatened to pick up

SECURITY:
Cost Rising

An increase in the cost of social
security to about Is billion dollars
by 1860, and possibly more than
80 billion by the year 1000, would
be the net effect to American tax
payers if congress would pass the
pending proposals to expand our
present system.
THIS ESTIMATE was made by
the Research Council for Economic
Security, a Chicago organization,
in a study entitled Estimated Cost
of Social Security Expansion. Cost
estimates are based upon the esti-
mated population and mortality
rates for future years. No allow
ances for variations in wage or
price levels has been made.
The expanded program, all of
which has been given consideration
in the 81st congress, consists of
four parts:
l. Increase in old age and sur
vlvors insurance benefits and COW
erage.
2. The introduction of a new con-
cept in federal social insurance,
namely, compensation for temper
airy and permanent disability.
3. An expansion in federal public
assistance payments.
4. Adoption of a national COM
pulsory insurance system.
THE COST in terms of taxable
payrolls,' the council points out.
ranges from 81 per cent to ia
per cent in 1860, depending upon
low-cost or high-cost estimate. For
the year 1000, the estimate ranges
from 1873 per cent to 1873 per cent
of taxable payrollS.

COAL:
Lewis Sputters

In the North, trees were showing
the first sparks of autumnal color.
In the West snow already had fall
en- in one state. Fall was in the air
and the crisp sharpness, the thin
ming sunlight all indicated the time
was right.
And as is his wont, John L. Lewis
knew it. The United Mine Workers
chief was threatening coal strike
and at time when the threat
would be most effective.
BUT AS USUAL, his threat was
based apparently upon the highest
ideals. There was no question of
higher wages or shorter working
hours. Instead, Lewis charged that
southern coal operators had bled
the unions welfare fund white by
Withholding payments.
Lewis did not mention the word
"strike," but he said continual
ton of the default in payments
might cause reactions deterrent
to the constructive progress of the
industry"
However, everybody on the side
lines in Washington construed that
statement to hold a strike threat.
The National Coal association ad-
vised its members that Lewis Ian
guage was "direct threat and
added:
mo mention is made of the fact
that there is no contract and no
agreement to pay. :"

US. CROPS:
Near Record

Marshall plan countries, nations
everywhere sharing in the largesse
a Uncle Sam, would rejoice at the
news that the 1949 U. S. crop fore
east indicated a near-record vol
uEne. So rosy was the picture that
experts held that this years farm
production would almost approx
mate 1948's record output.
REPORTING this, the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture said that
Il the crop did not top all records,
It certainly would be second only
to last years figures. Since the
growing season for most crops was
practically over, there was little
likelihood in any change in the
crop forecast.
Corn, especially, was abundant,
with this crop almost certain to
result in some sort of controls on
surpluses. The prediction for the
corn crop was 35 billion bushels,
only 3.5 per cent below last years
record, but q per cent above aver
age. The new figure was only about
10 million bushels less than the
forecast of month ago.
It was believed that corn crop
of this size was virtually certain
to lead the government to invoke
production controls on the 1850 crop
in a move to prevent accumulation
of a burdensome surplus. AS a
consequence, corn from this years
crop is expected to move into gov
eminent hands under price-support
programs to join the more than
400 million bushels remaining there
from the 1913 crop.
NO OFFICIAL decision on corn
was likely, however, until after the
October crop estimate.
The agriculture Department.
wheat crop estimate of nearly lbs
billion bushels was virtually I'M
changed from a month previous.
This would make it the fourth
largest wheat crop on record. Also
among the relatively large crops
were rice, tree nuts, soybeans,
grapes, cotton, flaxseed, sorghum
grain, dried beans, sugar cane and
cherries.

STEEL:
4th Round Insure

Unless the situation changed
drastically, there would be no
fourth-round wage increase for the
nations steelworkers. Almost on
the eve of the strike call, the CO.
United Steelworkers union gave up
its fight for wage hike, and called
off the strike.
THE million-member union ac-
cepted both President Humans
recommendation for an extension
of the strike truce and recommen-
dations of presidential fact-find-
ing board aimed at solving the
steel-wage dispute.
Philip Murray, union boss, told
the President in a telegram that he
gave up the wage increase demand
with profound regret" but agreed
to the boards recommendation
Sin the interest of concluding
prompt settlement"
Six of the nations major steel
producers accepted the truce ex-
tension request, but no company
had given an answer on the boards
formula.

FINANCE:
Advice to British

If the British got nothing else on,
of the Washington conference on
the islands financial crisis. they
had received lot of advice
That they were not too prone 10
take it was evidenced by British
comment in the homeland and
hints by Washington newsmen that
the British monetary delegation
was peeved at the way U. S. treas
ury chief John Snyder was bossing
the show.
WITH bland disregard for the
fact, British comment in London
was to the effect that Uncle Sam
was playing England for a sucker
On the other hand, there was much
criticism in the U. S. that the Brit
ish had nothing but their own yen
for the labor government to blame
for their financial plight.
In the midst of the clamor, one
thing appeared to be distinct: The
major forces in U. S. agencies
which might help the British were
agreed that devaluation of curren-
cy was the immediate answer to
Europe's financial problems. 'Sny-
der believes that, and he has been
backed up by the opinion of the
World Bank and Monetary Fund.
EUGENE BLACK, American
president of the 48-nation World
Bank, summed it up neatly. He
said:
Il do not underestimate either
the complexities or the far-reach-
ing consequences of such action
(devaluation), but I fail to see how
it can be avoided"

ken law would become effective

He said he thought the law re-
quires that in 1850 support of wheat
and cotton prices be at SO to 80
per cent of parity. He called this a
far cry from the misrepresenta-
ton of those who tell wheat and
cotton growers that they will get
only 60 per cent under the 1913
act"
