British Group 10 Study
Nations Four-Bi|Iion
Gambling Industry
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Feb. 12.-The British.
who like a wager, are going to
look into their $4,000, 200, ,000-a-
year gambling habits.
Prime Minister Clement Attlee
has told the House Of Commons
he is setting up a royal COM
mission. 1t will study present
laws and betting practices to see
whether any changes should be
made.
Betting on the horses and dogs
and backing football pools has
grown into the nations seventh
largest business. The Churches
Committee on Gambling esti-
mates the turnover was $4,000
100000 yearly. Its figure gener-
ally was accepted.
The Churches Committee calls
Britain's gambling fever a ma
tional epidemic.
Some of the wagers are taxed.
The government collects 20 per
cent from the football pools. The
pools. first started in 1922, now are
100000 weekly business.
The shop clerk can bet as low
as a penny G.6 cents. The
average weekly bet is around q
half crown $50 cents).
It is all done on credit. A sub
scriber to a pool gets his first
ticket by mail. He fills in his
choices, and mails back the tick
ct. The next week he receives
his second ticket and a bill for
the first one. He pays for the
first one when he returns his
second choice.
This comes about because Brit
ish betting law forbids face to
face" wagers. They may be made
only at horse and dog tracks dur
ing the races.
Business by Mail.
Otherwise, the bookies take their
bets by mail. So do the football
pool operators. And 1t is all on
credit.
The highest odds are in the
football pools. Kenneth Herbert.
a Bristol gas company worker,
took a fiutter for six pence (10
cents) recently. He hit a difficult
combination. His winnings: $685.
180.
And in a land of high income
taxes his fortune was tax free.
The government already had
taken its 20 per cent cut from the
pool operator.
There is no tax on bookies or
the totes" - pari mutuals - at
horse tracks.
There Is q 10 per cent tax on
dog track totes and a daily charge
Of from $40 upward on bookies.
In horse racing, the Derby and
the Grand National bring out the
heaviest betting. Wagers may
range from half O penny Qess
than a cent? into thousands.
The racing season Is year
around In Britain. And there are
few Britons who can resist giving
the geegees try. Even the clergy

Warm Springs Officials Offer i.
PRACTICAL BUILDING
PLAN TO STATE BOARD OF
EXAMINERS WEDNESDAY

Montana's state board Of examin-
ers Wednesday were offered prac-
teal building program for the state
hospital at Warm Springs by DR..
George Freeman, hospital superin-
tendent, and T. R. Schoenborn, bust
ness manager of the institution.
Should the board approve the pro-
posed program, many badly needed
repairs on various units of the hospi-
tai would be made, and number of
improvements added which would
substantially reduce the annual cost
in tax dollars to maintain the insti-
tuition.
Currently available for building at
the hospital is $250,000 Under the
program offered by DR.. Freeman and
Manager Schoenborn, approximately
$4,000 of this amount would be ex-
pended as follows:
100000 to renovate and install
and install new sanitary facilities
and plumbing in the Mitchell mems
dormitory; $4,000 to build a new
swinery for an annual production
of 600 hogs; $47,7OO to remodel
and install new heating facilities in
the children's home; $4,000 for a
new slaughterhouse; 100000 to do
a badly needed remodelling job on
the kitchen; $1,000 to install
cafeteria; $4,000 for a cannery in
basement of kitchen, and $4,000
for a new floor in this unit, and
added water and plumbing service.
This program would call for $217,-
600, which, with 10 per cent con-
reserve, would spend $780,
600. Also Dr. Freeman said, this
program should be followed by re-
quest to the next legislature for suf-
ficient money to build a 100-bed
mems dormitory and 100-bed wo-
mems dormitory. These would cost
an estimated 100000.
Before taking any action on this
or the proposal repeatedly
favored by individual board members
that a 50-bed addition to one dorni-
tory be constructed, the board mem
bers will make an inspection of the
Institution, January g. Members of
the board are Governor John Bon
1er; Attorney General Arnold Olsen,
and Secretary of State Sam Mitchell.

Farm Price Ratio Is
Lowest Since l04l

Iowa farmers paid more in Novem-
Der for what they bought in proper
ton to what they received for their
products than they had paid at any
time since the start of the war, the
Iowa crop and livestock service re-
ported recently.
The service said the index of prices
received dropped from 262 in Octo-
Der to 244 in November.
The greatest drops took place in
hogs, cattle, corn and eggs-all items
given heavy weightings in comput-
ing the index.
The index Of prices received to
prices paid dropped to SO in Novem-
Der from an even 100 in October.
Feeding ratios also were less favor
able to the farmer as the livestock
prices declined faster than the price
of feeds.
A year ago the ratio of prices re-
ceived to prices paid was lot.

Expansion of the storage facilities

Such expansion, he said, had been

Hitler's Boys Are
Regaining Control of
German Ruhr

'tMorale of German workers is be-
ing undermined by the failure to
nationalize Ruhr coal mines and by
the return of industry there to those
who controlled it under Hitler, Walt
er Reuther, United Automobile Work
ers president, charged this week.
'The trend toward cartelism is a
threat both to German and world
democracy" he said. He also express
ed the belief that Ruhr should be "a
central workshop of Europe's total
economy" and called for govern
ment of the area according to the will
OF the German people.
The American and British govern
ments vetoed 1913 vote by Ger
mans in north ne-Westphalia for
naturalization of the coal mines.

extension of the powers of the Fed

ed only with the existing functions
of the Federal Government and not
with an extension of them The
Federal Government now has the
major role in flood control, irriga-
ton, navigation, and major role
in hydroelectric power production.
In fact, every State and locality is
asking the Federal Government to
provide more projects for exercis-
ing more efficiently functions which
the Federal Government has long
been exercising and it adds no new
functions to that list.
This is why the charge that valley
authorities usurp or impinge on
State rights leaves me cold. We are

a better job on the task which Con-
gress has already assigned Feder-
al agencies.

HEARINGS ON SUGAR
ACT TO BE HELD

The us. Department of Agricul-
ture announced this week that, in ac-
cordance with the Sugar Act of 1948,
four public hearings on wage rates
and prices for the 1850 crop of sugar
beets will be held between January
and January IL, 1850, in cities with
in the major producing regions of
the sugar beet area.
For the Montana region, hearing
is slated to be held in Billings, jan
uary 6, 10 am, Commercial Club
building. Other hearings will be held
in netvoit, Salt Lake City, and Gree
ley, Colo.
In connection with the sugar beet
hearings the Agriculture department
also points out that one of the condi-
tons producers must meet to qualify
for payments under the 1948 act is
to pay wage rates not less than those
determined to be fair and reasonable
by the Secretary of Agriculture after
public hearing and investigation. The
act also provides, as condition for
payment, that professors who are also
producers must pay for sugar beets
purchased from other producers at
prices determined to be fair and
reasonable by the Secretary.

It then found, based on the figure
presented by the Montana-Dako
Utilities Company, that the cost OF
gas would increase rapidly as a re-
suit of the increased drilling neces-
sary to keep up production.
The commissions order then anal
yzed the figures as to the actual in
crease in cost of gas after the Wor-
land-Baker line was built and found
that cost to. be very much less than
the figure reached by the Public Serv-
ice Commission when it granted the
increase. The Montana commission
found that the cost of Worland gas,

Electric Users Association and
the Eastern Montana Consum-
ers Association, appeared In
opposition to the application.
Their position was first that the util-
ity company has supply of gas in
the Baker and Bowdoin fields suffi-
Gent to last twenty-five years, and
second that the cost of gas to the
consumers by reason Of the construc-
ton of the new line, was excessive.
Prior to the hearing before the
FPC the Montana Railroad and Pub
lie Service Commission had approved
an increase III cost of gas of lac per
thousand cubic feet for all of the
area except the "High-line" towns
where the increase was 10c
In making its order the FPC found
that there was a sufficient supply of
gas in the present fields to supply
the market for the % year period as
contended by the consumers, but
then went on to say: However, the
evidence shows that pressures are de-

fields and, as a result of such decline

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
PARTY

Missoula-Ol' Saint Nick is getting
ready to pay his annual visit to LSW
Local 1912, and preparations are
underway for gala party, reports
L. W. Glodt, treasurer of the union.
Each year at Christmas time the
families of Local 1912 gather to-
gether for two hours or more and are
entertained by talent mostly from
their own group.
But the gent who tops the list is
Santa. He takes over and every
child has all the candy, nuts, apples
and oranges that he or she can pos
sibly want.
It is always interesting to witness
this scene, comments Glodt, as most
of the Children show signs of fear,
some are doubtful, some want to en-
terrain Santa with song, others
want to dance for him.
According to Glodt, the party lasts
two hours or more, but takes 80 days
to make it success. This year the
local union is selling" turkeys to fl
nance the party and the grandest
prize of all will be new junior size
