Bunche Calls for End
OF Arms Embargo
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. Act
ing Palestine Mediator Ralph j..
Bunche urged the United Nations
Security Council today to lift the
Middle East arms embargo which
was imposed during the Arab
Jewish fighting.
DR.. Bunche told the Council all
restrictions including those on i'm
ports and immigration, should be
Cancelled as a result of the armis-
tices which have been signed by
Israel and the neighboring Arab
countries.
DR.. Bunche said the armistice
agreements are not a final peace
settlement, but they signal the end
of "the military phase Of the
Palestine conflict"
1.-The objective now, clearly,
should be to restore normal condi-
tions of peace to the fullest pos
sible extent" DR.. Bunche said.
The question of lifting the arms
embargo arose recently when
British sources disclosed Britain
was ready to start shipping arms
to Iraq and Hashemite Jordan
(Trans Jordan) in accordance
with agreements reached before
the outbreak of the Palestine
fighting. Israel protested strongly
at the time. .-.
At today's council discussion.
French Delegate Jean Chauvel
supported DR.. Bunche's proposal
to lift the embargo.

Rx Edward c. Stone

House Approves Mergers.
The House has approved and
sent to the Senate bill permitting
conversion, merger or conSolida-
tion of national banks into State
banks. Such change could be
made. under the legislation, only
if tWo-thirds of the national
banks stockholders approved.
State banks now may convert
into national banks, but by present
law a national bank desiring to
convert to a State bank usually
must first liquidate and pay
capital gains tax.
The Banking Committee told
the House the bill would protect
shareholders of national banks
who oppose a conversion by per-
mitting them to receive cash for
their stock. Depositors would not
be injured, the committee said, be-
cause they could withdraw their
funds.
July Construction Climbs.
Construction scored more than
seasonal climb in July and set
new dollar volume record both
for that month and for the first
seven months of 1949, activity
being aided by a pickup in private
home building.
The Commerce Department re-
ports that new construction re-
fiected a 10 per cent gain over
June and 2 per cent over July,
1948. Despite the July showing,
private residential construction for
the first seven months of this year
remained 10 per cent below the
same 1948 period.

DROUGHT, HEAT
HASTEN HARVEST
Winter Wheat Is Completed
Spring Is Only Few Days
Later-Beets Do Well

High temperatures and lack OF
rainfall during the past week
fastened harvest operations
throughout the state. The win
ter wheat harvest is virtually
complete in southeast Montana
and progressing northward. 1t is
about 25 per cent completed in
the south central portion, just
beginning in the Central Basin
area and 10 to 10 per cent COM
pleted in the dry northern coun-
ties. West of the divide, the per-
centage harvested ranges from
none at the higher attitudes to
about so per cent in Lake and
Ravalli counties. The spring
wheat harvest is only a few days
behind that of winter wheat while
barley is in advance about a
week or more. About so per
cent of the barley acreage is
combined from Hill county east.
The pattern of the oats harvest
is about the same as barley. A
large acreage has been cut for
hay. Considerable straw from
combined crops is being salvaged
in all of the drier areas to in
crease forage supplies for live
stock.
The native hay harvest is
drawing to. a close in most of the
state, except at high attitudes,
with a few scattered counties re-
porting it all harvested. The
yield per acre is extremely light
and there was very little to har-
vest in northern and southeastern
parts of the state. The second
crop of alfalfa is being put up
on irrigated land and the more
areas. A second cutting
nas not m~aterialized in the
Drought areas. The seed crop of
will not be as large as
anticipated because of
grasshcppcr damage. Hopper con-
,rol measures are necessary to
the seed crop.
Grasshoppers are continuing to
nflict heavy damage in most of

Silver Dollars and
Irrigation Appear
Strange To Visitor

Hard money in the pocket and
water poured onto farm lands
from canals are commonplace to
Montanans, but excite comment
from visitors. Mrs. Martha Spill
die of Lacrosse, Wis, who had
visited her son, Neil B. Spildie
and family, told the Laurel Out
look before she departed Tues
day for her home that in addi-
ton to enjoying the scenery and
climate of Montana she had been
impressed by the practice of irri-
cation on valley farm lands and
the use of silver dollars in trade.
Lacrosse, at he junction Of
the Black and Mississippi rivers,
has no need for diverting water
from its streams to its surround
ing farms; there usually is
enough rainfall to sustain the
crops. And the coins used IN
trade begin with the penny and
end with the half-dollar. The
inch-and-a-half silver dollars are
seldom if ever seen.
Montana is one of the few re-
naming regions where hard
money is preferred to the folding
kind, except in denominations OF
So or more.

ICING CARS At
PEAK IN YARDS
Crews Use $50 To 200 Tons
A Day For Perishables
Going To Market

Icing crews in the Laurel rail.
road yards have been using from
$50 to 200 tons of ice daily since
July Is for refrigeration of per-
ishable carloads of fruit of all
kinds, with the prospect that the
peak will not pass until well
towards the end of September
Nearly all the fruit comes from
the west, originating for the most
part in Oregon, the Yakima dis
trict of Washington, and areas in
California. Some is diverted here
to the Burlington and the Great
Northern; the remainder goes
east.
j. R. Orr, superintendent of the
huge new artificial ice plant the
Northern Pacific placed in opera
ton earlier this year at Laurel,
said this week that inroads have
been made on the reserve supply
of stored ice to the extent of
about 1000 tons. In storage at
the beginning of the rush, which
for the crews extends sometimes
around the clock, were 1000 tons.
About 5000 tons are left, despite
the plants making 1872 tons a

Since the opening of the Mid
land Empire fair in Billings at
the beginning of the current
week, Laurel has been called
upon to provide housing for the
overflow from Billings. Accom-
modations have been found so far
for all. Many local people who
have one or more spare rooms
to rent for a night have register
ed their names and addresses
with the Commercial club, and
are called in order by. the judge
when requests for lodging are
received at the information bu-
reau.
The bureau is one of the sew
eral functions that are being car

information pays off in several

PROTEST REDUCTION
OF WHEAT BY 1851

Washington, d. c., Aug. TO-
Montana's agricultural economy
will be seriously damaged by the
acreage reduction demanded by
the department of agriculture for
1850, Congressman Wesley A.
D'Ewart told house representa-
tives last week.

for 1850 wheat, announced by the
secretary of agriculture, is A.

less than the $4,000 acres
planted this year.
DEwart compared Montana's
reduction with those decreed for
eastern and midwestern states.
and with the national average re-
duction of III per cent.

department arrived at the terrific
reduction for Montana" he de-
clared.
at appears they did not even
consider the fact that Montana is
a state where it is not easy to
change from one crop to another
at the request of a government
agency"
