Men who should have registered
months ago are rushing to Dis
trict Selectiye Service headquar-
ters because of the Korean crisis,
officials disclosed yesterday.
OF the approximately 100 reg
istered during the four working
days of last week, and another
26 who came in yesterday when
the Office was theoretically closed,
at least rs were considerably past
their 18th birthdays.
William E. Leany, District Sc
lective Service Director, Frank D.
Norton, deputy director, and 1t.
Col. Walter S. Welsh. legal and
classification officer, attributed the
increasing roundup mainly to
President Truman's order for in
ductions if necessary to build up
the armed forces.
The draft law of 1948, recently
extended for two years. provides
penalties as heavy as five years
in Jail and a $4,000 fine. District
draft officials explained, however,
that they have no intention of
cracking down except in f1agrant
cases.
Registration Stressed.
"All we want to stress now,"
Mr.. Norton said. sis that every
young man Is through rs years
of age must register. They, are
supposed to register as soon as
they are 18. They are supposed to
notify us if they have changed
their addresses since registering.
That also goes for notifying draft
boards elsewhere"
District headquarters at 1901
D street NV. are open daily from
$3.50 a m. to 4:30 pm. for registra-
tion. Mr.. Norton indicated that
yesterdays heavy business. includ-
ing more than 200 telephone calls
for information, may necessitate a
larger Saturday staff.
At the beginning Of July the
registration total for the District
was 52,342. That would indicate
at least $500 might fail to register
when they should.
They're still coming in and
we have no idea how many more
there will be in addition to the
late-comers who showed up this
week." Mr.. Norton commented.
The percentage has ranged from
40 to 60 per cent of the daily
registration totals since June 30"
A great majority Of the 26 reg
istrants yesterday were men just
getting around to registering after
delays that in several cases went
back beyond year. In one case
earlier last week, a man who be-
came 18 in December, 1947, final
ly filled out a form, almost two
and half years late.
Now There Is a Possibility
When inductions stopped early
in 1949. after District draft boards
had inducted 185 men, the great
ly curtailed staff here had no
facilities for keeping a close check
either on possible delinquents or
on registrants who failed to re-
port changes of address.
This may have led some men
to suppose that enforcement was
growing lax and that there was
no need to register" an official

A spokesman said the first three
days of the week are the busiest
with Is to 80 men processed each

and inquiries received have been

Army and the Air Force.

Clio Economic Outlook Calls for HALT to profiteering

The CIO Economic Outlook, in its
latest issue, charges that cold fash
toned speculative profiteering, on the
commodity exchanges and in other
business places, has been the major
cause of the price initiation since
June 25."
The publication, issued by the
CLIO Department of Research & Edu-
cation, said that in view of the eco
nomic history of the last few months,
''even the most reactionary business
spokesman must know that he can't
get away with blaming the unions
for the price rises which the Korean
invasion set in motion.
''Nor will any useful purpose be
served by scolding the American
She just hasn't been hoard
ing copper, gasoline, rubber, lard,
milk or bread in the kitchen pantry.
But the prices of these are up"
The Outlook said that more price
increases are being announced "every
day., in many cases "simply because
the getting is easy" But it added that
neither increased labor costs nor
lack of adequate profits can justify
most of the raises"
The CLIO publication placed much
of the blame for the situation on the
Defense Production Act, passed by
Congress in the late summer.
"The Defense Production Act en-
powers the use of total wage, price
and rationing controls" the Outlook
said. "But if circumstances force us to
this extremity, the American people
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1950-11-24

will find, even then, that the Act is
cruelty deceptive.
"Under it's terms, wages and
salaries can be clamped down, but
the cost of living can still go up.
Food, rent, and medical costs are
major items in the average family
budget. But neither the Act nor any
other federal legislation provides for
a real freeze of these major family
costs.
''The largest expenditures of the
average family is for food. But the
Defense Production Act does not pro-
vide for a firm ceiling over food
prices"
The Outlook said it is "hard to
understand" why Congress $50 will
lingly" voted an increase in the nee
essary down payment for a second
hand car, while at the same time re-
fusing "to demand higher down pay
ments from commodity market specu-
lators who profiteer on a national
emergency"
The Acts provision for simultan-
eous wage controls for workers in
volved in producing items that are
price-controlled, is unwise, the Out
look said.
eff the price of steel or rubber
were frozen, for example, wages of
steel and rubber workers would go
under controls automatically, the
Outlook said. eff steel workers ate
steel and rubber workers ate rub

spend their paychecks for food and

Herewith the letter sent to
Cong. Mansfield, and copy of
same to Senator Murray:

Bozeman, Montana
November II, 1850
Hon. Mike Mansfield
House Office Building
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Mansfield:
Please accept our thanks for send
ing us a copy of the letter of Secre-
tary of Interior, Oscar L. Chapman,
dated November 2, 1850, concerning
the elk problem in Yellowstone Park.
We regret to observe in Secretary
Chapman's letter indications that the
proponents of the slaughter program
which we oppose have persuaded him
that our protests should be brushed
off with the maximum of condescen-
sion. We are sure that you are no
friend to the attitude of kowtowing
to representatives of the livestock
groups and their corporation allies,
and of pretending to regard the bona
fide sportsmen as ignorant and ir-
responsible. Until this attitude on
the part of some federal officials
is altered to one of decent respect
for the rank and file of sportsmen
from all walks of life, there is no
hope for fair and reasonable So
luton of these problems. We deplore
the apparent fact that Secretary
Chapman has accepted at least some
of the announcements of such of
ficials in his Department and allowed
his opinions to be determined by
them.
The proof of this comment on the |
Secretary's letter is found in the let |
ter itself, wherein one John A. Will
lard of Helena, Montana, is quoted |
as an authority on game management.
AS you know, Mr.. Willard is a paid |

The Outlook suggested that such
arbitrary wage controls would also
have the effect of turning workers
away from essential industries into
those not closely related to the de-
Tense mobilization effort, and that it
might cause ''intolerable . chaos"
in plants producing both price-con-
trolled types of goods.
The CLIO publication said workers
entered the mobilization period "at
a decided disadvantage" because be-
fore the Korean crisis they chad not
shared fairly in the division of the
output of industry Now, since
June 25, labor is at a further dis
advantage because of the totally un-
warranted price increases which are
being reflected in rising living
costs"

S. o. S.!

Many Montanans will be sur
prised to learn that our Railroads
are on the verge of starvation.
Such was the testimony intro
duced at a rate hearing held in
the Federal Building at Helena,
Tuesday. Montana being noted for
her generosity, will not sit idly by
and allow anyone to starve-es-
pecially our railroads.
We suggest that every one in
the state, donate something to our
water soaked railroads to rescue
them from their terrible condi-
ton.

employee of the chain of ACMMon
tana Power newspapers which domi
nate the news field in every city of
Montana except Great Falls. What
you may not know is that these news
papers have refused to accept for
publication any statement by the
srortsmen's organization adverse to
the program of game slaughter. Our
views are suppressed so far as it
is in their power to suppress them.
Mr.. Willard has a job working for
these newspapers, which he doubt
less wants to keep. Even if he were
an authority on wildlife matters, in
stead of just another reporter, he
still could not write any opinions ex-
cept what his employers dictate or
expect, and still hold his job. 1t there
fore must be apparent to you, as it
is to us, that Mr.. Chapman has made
a major error in permitting someone
to tell him that Reporter Willard is
wildlife expert. We are used, by
now, to having propagandists for the
slaughter program picking the 'au-
thorities' which they quote from
among the enemies of sportmen's in
terests, but we will continue to put
the finger on this vicious method of
public relations every time it oc-
ours.
Regretting, therefore, the obvious
bias which exists in the Department
of Interior, we renew our protest.
Let us at the outset strip off the
masquerade of the opposing group.
