Perkins also referred to one OF
her pet themes-that the Govern
ment has no right to inquire into
private affairs of its employees.
It's for this reason that Miss
Perkins has differed with some OF
her colleagues and been lukewarm
t ard Government operated
health programs for Federal en-
ployes and Federal-sponsored rec
reation activities for Government
workers.
Miss Perkins said last night
Federal employees have the right
to expect that the Government
make mo unnecessary inquiry
into their private affairs and no
regulation of their private lives" "
Federal employees should have the
right ito be let alone" Miss Perk-
ms declared.
Some of Miss Perkins col
leagues disagree with her views on
this subject. While they are in
accord with her views that the
Government should make no un-
necessary inquiries into the pri-
vate affairs Of its employees, they
feel such activities as Federal
health and recreation programs
are not an intrusion of an en-
ploye's privacy. They declare
many private corporations oper-
ate health and recreation pro-
grams for their employees, without
any one raising the charge that
the workers privacy Is being in
vaded.

Truman UphoIds Application
.Of Subversive Law to FoIdnoe
President Has Yet
To Appoint Board
For Registration
BY the Associated Press

Rules for forcing registration o1
Communist groups were officially
laid down today by the Justice
Department.
Their application appeared cer-
tain to touch off series Of hear
ings and heated legal actions, with
actual registration delayed, per.
haps for years.
Under the new law, Communist
organizations have until Monday
to sign up voluntarily. After that
registration by force is called for
But this cannot be done unit.
President Truman names the five-
man bipartisan Subversive Activ-
tiles Control Board set up In
the act.
I The Communist Party has said
it does not intend to register and
supply it's roll of members, esti-
mated by the FBI to number
about $4,000. And Communist
action and front" groups have
shown no signs of compliance.
Citation of Party Expected.
This leaves it up to the Attor-
ney General to certify to the
board that such-and- groups
regarded by him as Communist
have failed to comply with the
law.
officials expect the first such
citation to be issued against the
Communist Party itself.
Then the party may call for
hearings by the board. 1t can be
expected to contest the definition
in the law which says that q
Communist action" group Is one
dominated by a foreign govern
ment, meaning Russia.
This question has not been
passed upon directly by United
States courts. If the control
board should overrule it and order
registration, the organization may
appeal to the Circuit Court here
and, If it loses there, to the Su-
preme Court.
May Take Two Years.
In view of this, some officials
estimate 1t may take two years to
get the party actually registered.
The rules for getting action
started were published today in
the Federal Register. daily offi-
cial bulletin.
They call for complete dis
closure by Communists groups of
their sources of income and how 1t
is used. Action groups" such as
the party itself also must list
the names and addresses of all
members and those "other than
members who actively participate
In the activities of the registrant." /"
Publications to Be Labeled.
Publications and radio and
television programs put out by
the groups also must be plainly
Identified as to sponsorship.
Failure to comply with a final
order to register makes the Or
ganization liable to fine of
$4,000 per day for each day
that 1t fails to comply. In the
case of an individual. the penalty
would be $4,000 fine or five years
in prison or both.
Although the control board has
not yet been named, Mr.. Truman
said at his press conference ves-
terday that the anti-subyersiye
law passed over his veto will be
enforced to the letter.

mer Johnson, the association S
president, said his group considers
this a modest" request.
Mr.. johnson declared retired
employees have had only one in
crease in annuities in many years.
This was several years ago, when
they were given an increase Of Is
per cent or $500 a year, whichever
was smaller.
The continued upward trend Of
living costs has necessitated an
other increase in annuities, Mr..
johnson declared. He said many
retired employees Simply can't live
on their present pensions"
The drive for increased annui-
ties will be linked closely with the
campaign for a new pay raise for
present Federal employees. If
either Of the groups wins its OBJ
jective, it would make it easier
for the other group to get an in
crease.

eral advantages over fumigation for
combating these pests. The new
method consists of mixing either
pyrenone wheat protectant or pyre-
none grain protectant with the grain.
These protectants come in a dust
form and must be thoroughly mixed
with the grain. The pyrenone
wheat protectant is used on wheat
which will be sold for human con-
sumption. The pyrenone grain pro-
tectant is for use on feed grains.
Farm elevator applications can be
made by spreading the protectant
evenly over truckload of wheat,
cutting it into the wheat and dump
ing the load into an unloading pit.
The action of going down the slide
from the pit, up the conveyor sys-
tenn and down spout will provide
sufficient mixing.
When used during a turning OPP
Grafton, application should be made
at the base of the auger in the hop
per with the rate of treatment be-
ing determined by the rate of grain
movement
Admittedly, many difficulties will
be encountered in attempting to
handle grain under the average
Montana storage conditions. This
means that in order to use this more
reliable and desirable method of
insect control, the protectant must
be mixed with the grain either as
it goes into storage or means for
handling all of the grain must be
prepared.
Pyrenone wheat protectant should
be applied at the rate of 100 pounds
of protectant per 1000 bushels of
wheat. The same rate of applica-
ton is recommended for the pyre-
none grain protectant.
These materials are now avail
able over most of Montana and can
be used without hazard to man or
animals inasmuch as pyrenone in
the recommended concentrations is
not toxic to man or warm blooded
animals.

New, Safe Method Controls
Insects In Stored Grain
BY ]. P. coRKINS, Assistant State Ent0,n0logist

WITH HARVEST OCCURRING
this year under adverse conditions,
it is reasonable to assume that more
than average difficulties with insect
infestations in farm-stored grains
will be encountered.
Insect damage occurs only in grain
that is out of condition. The mois-
ture content of the stored grain must
be above IL to 10 percent before the
pests can thrive. If the bin is
weather proofed and properly ven
tilated, and if only dry grain is
stored, little or no trouble will occur
from insect infestations.
Unfortunately, it appears this year
that much of the grain going into
farm storage is going to be out of
condition.
In past years we have used fumi-
cation methods to combat farm
stored grain insect pests.' We now
have a new method which has sew
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-10-15

measures designed to correct the
adverse conditions.
In recent years there has been in
creasing concern as to whether or
not crops, grasses, and consequently
livestock are becoming deficient IN
various essential minerals. On the
assumption that such deficiencies
are recognizable in the condition of
livestock and in the growth and
yields of crops, the operators con-
tacted were asked to evaluate the
condition of livestock and crops I'M
der the general term quality"
Quality is an admittedly vague,
largely undefinable term with seri-
Gus limitations in a study of this
nature. Nevertheless it would seem
reasonable to assume that, if there
had been any great change in the
quality of crops and livestock, the
producers would have been in good
position to recognize such changes.
Qualify Increasing
The majority was of the opinion
that both crops and livestock quail
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-10-15

ity had been increasing. Apparently
it was more difficult to evaluate
livestock quality than crops, judg-
ing from the relatively large per-
centage of operators who had no
opinion in the matter.
The QUESTIONABLE listed several
conservation practices. 1t was re-
quested that the operators indicate
which practices they were using,
now long they had been using them,
and which practices had been the
most successful and the least sue
cessful.
Grass reseeding was in first place
in terms of the greater number of
operators making use of the prac-
tice. The practice having been in
use for the greater length of time
was crop rotation. The most success
full practice was summerfallowing
the least successful was weed con-
troll.
The average farmer and rancher
was making use of three conserva-
ton practices in 1947.
