GLASGOW CONSUMERS
file SUIT AGAINST
PUBLIC SERVICE COMM.

Glasgow, Oct. 25-Another at
tempt to rule out recently approved
natural gas rate increases for east
ern Montana has been filed in dis
trict court here.
The first suit against the state
public service commission and the
Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. was
filed in Miles City district court re-
Gently. The complaint against the
same defendants here was filed by
M. A. Wright, Glasgow, president of
Northeast Montana Gas & Electric
Consumers Assn.
Attorneys said today similar suit
may be filed in Sidney.
Like the Miles City complaint
Wright says the commission granted
gas rate increases based on value of
property not in existence, if at all,
until five years from now.
Consumers did not have a full OPP
portunity to protest at hearings held
by the commission, Wright states.
Montana-Dakota said it needed
more money to finance a proposed
340-mile pipeline from new gas
field near Baker, With the new sup

UN-AMERICAN COMMITTEE SEEKS TO MAINTAIN
BLACKLIST, SUPREME COURT TOLD

With the United States Supreme
Court due to decide whether or not
it will hear arguments on appeals in
five Un-American Committee con-
tempt cases, the Civil Rights Con-
gress filed an amicus brief which de-
nounced the House Committee use of
contempt citations as ga blacklist
weapon as vicious as that used by
open-shoppers against labor or lily
white primary's exclusion of Negro
voters"
The brief supports the appeals
from contempt convictions of George
Marshall, formerly Chairman of the
National Federation for Constitu-
tional Liberties, and now Chairman,
Board of Directors of Civil Rights
Congress; Reverend Richard Nor
ford, Executive Director of the
National Council of American-Sov-
let Friendship; John Howard Law
son and Dalton Trumbo, two of the
Hollywood Ten, and DR.. Edward K.
Barsky and ten members of the exec
utive board of the Joint Anti-Fasc-
st Refugee Committee.
The CRF brief commends the re-
fusal of these Anti-Fascist leaders
to submit to the tyranny of the House
Committee.

SMALL MINES AID BILL LOST FOR THIS SESSION..
TOO MANY WAR MEASURES

"For those who hate war there is
only one way left, the one sponsored
by the Pontiff, disarmament. 1t should
be total disarmament. If you want
peace, prepare for war is futile?"
The prostituted press and charged
atmospheres of Washington have
driven once sensible men crazy.
Senator Vandenberg, September
l21st, 1949, declared in favor of send
ing Europe 81 and 1s billions for ar
mament. Formerly a Senate Com
mittee, with Vandenberg a member
voting aye, announced:
81. Armament races lead to war.
2. Armaments are not life insur-
ance; they provide the means for
death, not life"
The World Almanac states the offer
of Russia standing before the United
Nations since October 20, 1916, as
follows:
Disarmament A resolution for
general disarmament introduced by
the USSR (Oct. 29) was unanimously
adopted (Dec. 12). 1t provides for
consideration by the Security Council
of measures to reduce and regulate
including elimination of
atomic and other modern weapons
for mass destruction, establishment
of safeguards against secret anna
ments through universal inspection
system, creation of an international
police force, and progressive reduc-
ton of all UN military forces in their
homelands and in former enemy
The Councils recommends
tons are to be taken up at a special
session of the General Assembly. A
Soviet motion for an immediate gen.
eral census of troop concentrations
by member nations both at home and
abroad was defeated"

Witt, prominent civil liberties and
labor lawyer, and former secretary
of the National Labor Relations
Board, charges that "no government
agency in the history of our country
has done as much to undermine our
basic liberties as has the Un-Ameri-
can Committee.
"The Committee has trampled on
free speech. The Committee has in
terfered with freedom of assembly
and freedom of association. The Com
m t e has inhibited freedom of
thought and has drastically choked
off the free discussion of political
issues which the Constitution seeks
to encourage and which is more than
necessary in period when fateful
issues confront the American people.
The Committee has interfered in po-
litical elections and in the legitimate
activities of labor organizations. The
Committee has attacked and denounc-
ed common citizens, public officials,
Cabinet members, and the President
of the United States merely because
their notions of sound public policy
differed from the Committees"
Decision as to whether the appeals
will be heard by the Supreme Court
are expected to be handed down short
ly. The Civil Rights Congress brief
calls upon the Court to grant the
petitions for a reversal of the con-
victions and thus "to assert once
more that the Constitution is supreme
over tyranny"

The Murray-Engle Bill to help the
small lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold
and other nonferrous Tri-State anc
Western mines, passed the Senate
but is finally pigeon-holed for this
Session of Congress in the House. In
June, 1948, President Truman We
toed similar bill. One reason was
that at would cost too much" That
bill called for about $75 million. The
bill now pigeon-holed calls for $50
million.
Last week $3.50 million was allotted
to South Korea. All Korea, North and
South, has 85,246 square miles. The
South half is about $4,000 square
miles. Montana has 147,138 square
miles. The people of Montana are
just as good as Koreans.
Murray in the Senate, Engle in the
House, begged for only $50 million.
This was to be used for mining in
Montana, Idaho, Washington, Nevada,
Oregon, California, New Mexico,
Wyoming, South Dakota, Oklahoma,
Missouri, and other states.
This week $1,000 million goes to
implement the Atlantic Pact, to arm
European nations. Since the know
ledge that Russia has the Atom Bomb,
leading men in these nations say
frankly that the arms we are send
ing will not be used by the people
to whom we are sending them.
Of course, they may be sold to the
Soviets, just as the panoply we sent
to Chiang's Nationalist were sold to
the Communists.

The G.adGe Roe9e4

It used to be the custom to count ones blessings at Thanks giving time. To enumerate the things one has to be thankful for. Then came Pollyanna
 Now it is considered puerile to consciously balance the bad with good. One just doesn't count his blessings these days, but there's little difficulty in re- counting what is wrong!
 Following that reasoning, I have been compiling a list of things that l do not have, have never had.
 For instance: 1 do not apply to a board for permission to travel to Anchorage or Timbuctoo. 1 do not study ration book try ing to eke out enough points for a dinner to share with friends. 1 do not comb the beach and railroad tracks for enough fuel to keep me warm. l do not walk the streets in search of an hours work. l do not wear rags for lack of clothing. I do not stay home from the movies because I dare not spend penny on rec reation. I do not slink down the alley in fear of meeting my cred itors. And lastly, 1 do not live in fear of speaking my opinion be- cause my friends and neighbors may be spies who will report me to a tyrannical government
 I am not sorry that I live in Alaska and that Alaska is truly American.
 This negative approach to the subject of giving thanks for the things I do not have, has proved just as satisfying as the other way. You might try it sometime. The Cradle Rocker extends best wishes to all readers for an abundant and happy Thanks giving.

HARRY KAWABE RETURNS FROM JAPAN IN DECEMBER

Harry Kawabe, well known, and long time resident of Sew ard, head of H. $. KaWabe Com pany, Inc, of Seattle, has been in Tokyo for the past several months, but expects to be back in Seattle early in December, he writes.
 He has been Investigating op- portunities for an interchange of trade between Japan and Alaska for the products that can be produced in the Territory and are badly needed for the recon struction of Japan.
 He feels that Japan's need of lumber, coal, minerals and other raw materials could be shipped from Alaska He also suggests that homesteaders should expert ment in the growing of soy beans, which is staple food in Japan. Rice grows wild in some parts of the Territory, and ex- perimentation might increase the supply of that grain.
 Wild rice brings an amazingly high price in American markets also, and if it proves possible to harvest it in any quantities, of fers a money crop for Kenai farmers.
