Moscow Papers Join
In Assai|ing Thomas
For Blast at Sweden
By the Associoted Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 1.-Two Soviet
newspapers published commen-
taries today on a charge by Sem
ator Thomas, Democrat, Of Okla
homa that Sweden snubbed him
during a recent visit of his sem
atorial investigating group to
Stockholm.
The Soviet armed forces organ,
Red Star, and the Moscow trade
unions Trud joined in criticizing
Senator Thomas. He is chairman
Of the touring Armed Forces Sub
committee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.
Red Star said Sweden should
not be surprised at the accusation
of inhospitality,. adding:
"In those cases in which Thomas
does not see enough fuss being
made over him he demands that,
for his dollars, state leaders of
Marshallized countries kneel be-
fore him. Whoever sells himself
into slavery to American business
men inevitably surrenders his
honor and worthiness."
Speaking Of the Swedish For,
eign Ministry cocktail party held
for the committee, Trud said, "It
Is not difficult to understand that
the Wall Street emissary was not
upset only because he was treated
to a cocktail party instead OF a
dinner.
Both he and his highly placed
friends from American banks
were displeased mainly with
something else. In their opinion
Sweden is not paying sufficiently
promptly for the notorious Ameri-
can aid. Neither is it a secret
what kind Of payment for the
transatlantic money leaders ex-
pect from Sweden. It was not for
fun that Thomas openly threat
ened the Americans would stop
their Marshall aid If Sweden did
not cooperate with the United
States for defense of its own in
dependence.
Senator Thomas made his orig
inal complaint in Vienna Novem-
ber IL. He explained In Rome
Thursday he lacked an oppor-
tunity to talk business with
Swedish officials. Two other
members of the group. Senators
Chavez, Democrat, of New Mexico,
and Robertson, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia, said they were treated with
courtesy and respect.

Coal and Steel Output
Near Capacity Week
After End Of Strikes
BY the Assoeiafed Press

Americas industrial wheels are
humming again-a week after the
end of the Nations first twin
steel and coal strikes.
Mines and mills have whipped
their output up to near capacity.
In some cases production records
have been broken.
Pittsburgh-staggered by the
walkout-has bounded back to
good retail business health.
John L. Lewis ordered his UNIV
soft coal miners back to work
November 8. The United States
Steel Corp. and the CIO United
Steelworkers signed a strike-end-
ing contract two days later.
The coal walkout lasted So days.
The steel strike was AZ days old
when the Big Steel pact unoff1-
cially@ signaled its end.
28 Small Firms Tied Up.
OF the $4,000 steelworkers who
walked out October l., only 28,950
employees of % comparatively
small firms are still on strike for
the pension insurance package
set up in the pace-setting Bethle-
hem Steel Corp. settlement.
President Philip Murray and
his steelworkers lieutenants have
mopped up the bulk of the hold
out remnants-involving some IT,
900 workers - since Big Steel
signed.
The Armco Steel Corp. came to
terms with the union yesterday.
1t employs 1886 workers in six
plants.
The picture in coal was not al
together bright. however.
The bituminous pits east of the
Mississippi are producing under a
truce which will end November 80.
Future Up to Lewis.
What happens then depends on
Mr.. Lewis. President Truman has
indicated he will invoke the Taft
Hartley law if the miners boss
resumes the strike.
Mr.. Lewis and the operators
have scheduled no further meet
ings on their contract dispute.
The mines. meanwhile. poured
out fuel as fast as possible. Out
put in Western Pennsylvania was
back to its normal average of
approximately 100000 tons daily.
The National Coal Association
said the industry probably will
exceed its normal output of 12,-
10000 tons this week.
The furry of activity in the
coal fields produced a new threat,
however. The supply OF railroad
coal cars remained just ahead of
demand during the week, and fear
was expressed in Pittsburgh that
some mines in the area may be
forced to close because of an
eventual car shortage.
Steel Mills Busy.
The steel mills matched the
pace set by coal.
United States Steel expects to
reach 81 per cent capacity by the
week end. This is. per cent
higher than its pre-strike output.
The firm-biggest steel producer
in the world-claimed production
records for several eight-hour
shifts at its Irwin works.
Jones & Laughlin reports 80 per
cent of capacity operation. Be-
fore the strike j. & L. had three
blast furnaces idle. Now II of its
13 furnaces are in operation. .
The resumption of activity in
the city's two vital industries was
quickly reflected in sharp up
turns in Pittsburgh retail sales.
Although most Of the steelworkers
have not yet received their first
post-strike pays, buying-which
had Jagged ominously-spurted UP
to the usual pre-holiday pace.

that because of savings in building
costs on some other buildings the
babies ward is going to be remodeled.

begged off.
To give some examples of the prob
lens (and | am assuming the ignor-
ance of the readers to be equal to
that of mine when | visited there),
there are 1900 patients in the State
Hospital at the present time. There
are approximately $50 employees
and families. This makes a State
Town of some 2,400 people. Because
of the geographic situation of Warm
Springs as many as possible of the
employees are housed and fed on the
premises. There is a commissary and
there are food and rental considera-
lions in the pay given the employees.
Housing for them is entirely made
quate and many have only rooms and
must eat in the employees restaur-
ant. Besides the employees dining
room there are Fl dining rooms for
the 21 patients wards -21 over
crowded wards. One of the violent
women's wards houses SO patients
where there should be only 40 for
proper handling and care of these
women. So problem No. 1 seems to
be inadequate housing for employees
and patients, and in considering this
problem it must be remembered that
many of the present buildings for
both employees and patients are moth
ing but fire traps, and many must
be scrapped as soon as new buildings
are put up.
There is problem in the feeding
of this many people, but because it

are beginning to move. A new Wom-
ems dormitory is under construction,
a recreation hall and gymnasium is
in very embroyic stage of construc-
ton, and there ARE plans for change
and correction of the many deficien-
cies so outstanding for such massive
institution.
The construction and remodeling
that is presently being undertaken is
of course being financed by the ST.
100000 bond issue voted in the fall
of 1916 by the taxpayers of the state,
but that amount will not cover the re-
pairs, new construction, maintenance
and money saving features that can
make Montana's State Hospital a
state institution of which to be proud.
The most classic remark I heard
while there was eve have no alum
nj to go out and make speeches for
us-no alumni to lobby in the halls
of the legislature and glorify the
good we do for humanity. Our $50
annual graduates who have been re-
habilitated see no gain in such action
because of the outlook of society on
their past association with the in
stitution and say as little as possible
about the normal life which has been
returned to them by the care and
help they have been given in the
State Hospital"
That is, of course, feeling grow
ing out of the desperate need for
better financing to improve and main
tain the institution.
Babies Ward Deplorable
I do not know how much money is
allotted to maintain the State Hos
pital. | do not know how much it
would take to maintain it. 1t is
beyond my comprehension.
But it is obvious from it's present con-
dition that the people of the State of
Montana have not given it the proper

We were told for example that the
babies ward has been, and is, in the
most deplorable condition. The floors
are cement-and the walls and floors
in cold and frosty weather are COW
cred with frost on the inside. The
nurses have had to battle these babies
in tubs that set on the floor making
it necessary for them to get down on
their hands and knees to do the job.

PRICE DROP MEANS 81 BILLION LOSS
TO NATIONS Farmers

will lose nearly four billions dollars
this year because of these price
drops. That's measure of what you
are losing because your Represent
atives and Senators down in Con-
gress refused to pass a good new
farm program which would keep
farm income up.
That's a measure of what it's
costing you to have conservative,
do-nothing politicians in both par
ties, and to have so-called farm
leaders going around the country
supporting the big manufacturers
in their drive for 500 of parity
for you farmers. 1t may be fine
for those politicians, drawing their
fat salaries, and fine for those
so-called farm leaders and big
businessmen, but for farmers, it's
tremendous loss.
And as if four billion loss isn't
enough, the government says farm
prices are going lower and lower next
year, too, while operating costs will
stay up. Already in October, farm
prices took their sharpest dip since
last February, and are now back to
where they were under OPA. while
everything else is far above OPA
prices. Next year, the government
says, farm prices will be down an
other 10 per cent at least If bus
mess goes into another period of I'M
like it did this year, then
watch out, because prices can go
down even more than this year
Outlook Gloomy
The big newspapers are trying to
make out that our stop-gap farm pro-
gram for next year will "hold-the-
inc" on farm prices. No such thing
IS true. Not only will many farm
prices go down, but farmers will have
% cut their wheat and corn acreage
IN top of those price drops. Grain
