Humans risk more pronounced there
is in Washington that hostile group
of liberal" press columnists, radio

ated with the old Roosevelt regime,
eager to take advantage of every slip.
Another fact is that there are "leaks"
in his own Cabinet and even among
those, outside the Cabinet, regarded
as "close advisers" 1t would seem
that the more Mr.. Truman ponders
the trouble caused by his wholly
natural desire to be sincere and frank
with those he likes and the more he
thinks about these "leaks," the sound

Crust not a brother, know not a
friend" as old Amenehmat said, may
be too rigid a restriction. But as least
a President ought to trust exceedingly
few and those only after they have
been thoroughly tested. He should Sc
lect his intimates with great care and
in talk with them measure well his
words. 1t would be better if he did
not indulge in loose conversation
about public men and public affairs
with anyone, but under no circum-
stances should he do 50 with those
not closely bound to him by ties of
personal loyalty and friendship. Yet,
in the past three weeks he has done
exactly that in several instances with
resulting embarrassment and damage
to himself.

friendly. There is something engage

it seems too bad he does not realize
that the old Amenemhat was right
and that rulers of nations cannot af-

trust even all their intimates. They
are not ordinary men. Their power is
so great that even their casual words

Final Tally on Winter
Stock Loss Made
By E. P. CIRCUIT
Senior Livestock Specialist,
Montana Extension Service

Montana Extension Service
Most of us have dropped the topic
of the record winter of 1948-49 and
are discussing summer weather in
stead. Nevertheless, it is only now
that final figures on livestock losses
are available. The Montana extern
sion service was assigned the job
of making surveys and inquiries and
obtaining the best possible estimates
on winter and spring losses in cat
tie and sheep.
Twenty-Five counties were in the
trouble area" which was bounded
on the west by Madison, Gallatin,
Meagher and Fergus counties and
extended south from the Missouri
river to Wyoming. There are four
counties in the area not served by
county agents but Roath of Rose
bud gathered the information in
Treasure county and Wilson of
Prairie obtained figures on Garfield.
No reports we're received from
Wheatland, Petroleum, Carbon,
Park and Sweet Grass counties.
Southeast Hardest Hit
The southeastern counties were
by far the hardest hit. Carter, Rose
bud and Powder River suffered the
most. Wibaux, Fallon and part of
Custer counties likewise stood some
severe losses.
The highest individual losses e
ported were 1,400 cattle for one
wner and 800 sheep for another.
Both instances were in the extreme
southeast corner Of the state.
Normal" losses for cattle in the
20 counties reporting were FAT per-
cent. Winter and spring losses for
1949 we're AIS percent. Applied to
the bureau of agricultural economics
reported cattle numbers for these 25
counties, these percentages would
mean 24,500 head lost normally
and $4,000 head lost during the past
winter and spring. This indicates
about a $4,000, 900 extra money loss
for 1949 On cattle alone.

Joe Is Believed Given
Contract Exceeding
Ruth's $4,000
By the Associuted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. THE New
York Yankees announced today
that Joe Di Maggie had signed a
one-year contract at raise in
pay.
Terms of the contract wele not
disclosed. but spokesman for the
cluo said that "he is satisfied and
so are we."
Di Maggie. one of the games
greatest centerfielders, was be-
!ieved to have received base SAL
ary of $4,000 last year, with a
bonus pased on attendance which
brought his total pay to $4,000.
While there was no announce
ment as to the amount Di Maggie
will receive this season, there was
immediate speculation as to
whether the figure will approach
100000, which was said to have
been his original asking price.
In any event. there was good
reason to think that the fleet out
fielder would exceed the $4,000
that the Yankees paid Babe Ruth
in 1880 and 1881. This was the
highest figure ever given a Yankee
player previously.
Bonus to Tilt Joe's Pay.
Before today's signing it was
reported that the Yankees had Of
fered Di Maggie base salary of
$50. 900, plus a bonus graduated on
attendance after it passes the L.
100000 figure In the stadium.
Under this, the Yankees figured
that Di Maggie should make ap-
proximately 90,0OO-that is. if
the Yankees draw 2.400,000 which
was last years turnstile count.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Bob Feller of the Cleveland
Indians has agreed to sign a one
year contract that can bring him
an income of S72,500 for this
season.
Feller already has come to terms
with Bill Veeck. it was learned
last night, and the scheduled sign
ing in Cleveland tomorrow will be
mere formality. The Cleveland
owner and star righthander met
in Vice President Hank Green
berg's apartment Saturday night
and settled their differences.
Salary Cut of $4,000.
Feller's new contract calls for
an approximate $4,000 cut from
his 1e4S salary of $82. 500. He will
receive the same $4,000 base con-
tract he got last year, but the
difference will be in the bonuses
from the attendance.
Feller will start drawing extra
salary after the club has drawn
1.250.000 at home. The extra pay
ments will end at 2,500.000.
In other words. should the In
dians' home attendance reach two
and a half million fans. which is
about 100000 less than last year,
Bob will earn $72.500.
Feller, a guest at the annual
dinner of the New York baseball
writers last night. said he was
very happy over his new contract.
I'm satisfied I deserved to take
a cut" he said. II didn't have a
good year. Veeck treated me very
we'll. We drew over two and a
half million last year. but IS other
fellows on the club had good years
and deserved a raise more than I
did"
