COAL, STEEL
 MEN STILL
 OUT, STRIKE

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5-lR-The government is considering clamp ing down on the export of steel in the face of dwindling inven- tories which threaten idleness to hundreds of thousands in American industries M
 Many companies are taking pre- cautionary steps of their own as the nationwide steel strike goes into it's fifth day.
 Westinghouse Electric Corpora tion put a rationing system into effect today on many appliances.
 There's no sign of peace in the steel strike.
 And the picture remains almost as dark in the coal walkout.
 The double e-barrelled attack on Americas. economy has idled 513,00C steelworkers and 380,000 United Mine Workers.
 The issues are about the same The workers want a better pension and welfare program.
 STEEL PICTURE
 Let's take look at the picture in steel:
 Philip Murray, President of the Steelworkers, is standing pat or his demand that industry pay al the costs of pension and welfare program. Industry is standing pat too. It will pay up to 10 cents an hour-but insists workers chip ir a few cents an hour, too.
 There are no negotiating ses- sions in sight. The government is keeping hands off for the pre- sent.
 That doesn't mean the govern ment isn't concerned. Secretary oi Commerce Charles Sawyer says he; considering imposing export con- trols on steel. That would keeI more steel in America, prolongine employment in many industries 1T case the strike isn't ended soon.
 Almost as Sawyer was talking Westinghouse placed numoer oi home appliances on an allocatior basis to distributors and dealers These include large mooel refrig- orators, electric ranges, washing macines, clothes driers, vacuum cleaners, water heaters and fans.

of the 5000 standing room tickets had disappeared.
 At least 68,000 fans were assured when the Dodgers and Tanks tangle for the third time in a series be- cause all reserved seats have heerl sold for more than week.
 NEWCOMER OVER ROE
 Choice of Newcombe over Lefty Roe was last-minute development as Shotton held back on his pitch ing nomination until after the meeting. Newcombe is the first Negro pitcher to start a World Series game.
 Opening the series is a tremen- dous responsibility for this husky righthander who moved up rom Montreal farm clubs in mid-May.
 During the season, big Newt mas been Shotton's hardest workman, pitching 245 innings enroute to a l7-8 winning record. Of his 3l starts, l9 have been complete games. He has an earned run mark of 3l2.
 FURILLO IN PLAY
 Despite a painful groin injury. righthander Carl Furillo reported ready for play. Unless he finds out in pre-game practice that he can't make the grade, he will be Tn the starting lineup.
 There was sound reasoning De- hind Shotton's choice of his jumbo sized freshman to oppose Reynolds a l6-7 winner for the Tanks.
 Newcombe was knocked out of the COX Sunday in Philadelphia but he is a big strong fellow who can % three times, if necessary, in tnls best-of-seven competition. Roe, slender and wiry, could be used once more in a long series, pro- yiding he starts tomorrow as ex- pected.
 Net receipts of the game today were s313,7279e.

COLUMBIA FALLS EDITOR ON PROD OVER HIGH FIRE
INSURANCE RATES

Falls, a community that has had of
late years way less than its share of
serious fires.
1t was October 25, 1916 when Co
lumbia Falls volunteer firemen drove
up and down the main streets with
definite purpose. Sirens were wide
open and they were showing off the
new fire truck.
February 81, 1913 was the day of
the 100000 water bond election
that carried 1877 to 1. Result is that
water pressure in town mains is now
generally doubled.
Last May Is representative of the
fire underwriters was in the commun-
ity. He was walking with Mayor John
O'Connell when the idea of an i'm
promptu fire drill came up. The siren
sounded; volunteer firemen thought
it was the real thing, and nine men
got to the Great Northern depot for
what turned out to be drill, 2 min
utes and seconds after the alarm
sounded
The district engineer for the UNI
derwriters from Great Fails visited
the town; he was impressed and made
recommendations.
Meanwhile confidence of the COM
munity in its volunteer fire depart
ment increased. 1t licked fires. We
wouldn't trade it for a department
maintained by any other Montana
city.
There are other factors too. Build
lngs in the community tend to be a.
part. At least from the standpoint
of fires spreading, this is favorable.
The council for at least three years
has maintained building restrictions
IN the downtown section especially.
Residents and would-be residents
have been critical, but they were set
up to protect existing and future
structures as well as lower fire in
surance rates.
The list continues with additional
factors such as good job keeping
streets open in the winter.
Yet in spite of these town improve
ments and those by individuals, Co.
lumbia Falls has not gained any
recognition from fire insurance I'M

Fundamental to America is that

as these.
