Browning Quint
Plays Thrillers,
Yet Lose Games

The Browning basketball team
journeyed to the sunny south last
week, where they lost all three
of their road games.
Thursday night the boys met
a strong Whitehall team that has
victories over several strong
Class B" tea m S, including
Dillon, Deer Lodge and Anaconda
Central.
Browning started fast and took
a six-point lead, only to fall be-
hind when they found the basket
was becoming an elusive target.
Whitehall kept up their steady
pace and took long lead before
Browning boys finally were able
to get off point 8.
After the half it look e d as
though the boys had found the
range, but it was only moment
arily. In the final quarter the
teams matched basket for basket,
W t h Whitehall coming out on
the long end of a $3.50 score.
The next night was Townsend,
with Browning still shooting
short. Townsend proved a fight
ing outfit and came from behind
to win from the Indians 1928.
The warm sunny southern
weather and the friendly smiles
of the southern bellies evidently
took the c hill off some of the
Browning boys, for Saturday
night they began finding the bas-
ket. However, they lost thriller
to the hot-shooting Three Forks
Wolves $3.50.
Although the G a m es were
losses, the impressions were
gains. The Browning boys re-
ceived wonderful comments by,
not only the people who watched
them play, but by those who came
in contact with them at the hotels
and cafes.
The Browning boys couldn't
imagine the difference in wealth.

warm spring-like south.

a year ago this month the To-
cal Red Cross Chapter partici-
pated in the relief program with
the Tribal Council. The Council
furnished the money in t h e
amount of $36, 1863 during the
months Of January, February
and March and requested the
Red Cross to pay a worker who
could investigate every c
where relief was given.
George Pambrun was chosen
to do this work. The Tri b a
Council requested his employ.
ment because he had a car, be.
cause he knew everybody and
because he could speak the
Blackfeet language. He was also
approved by Mr.. O'Hara, who
was the superintendent at that
time, and the local Red Cross
officers.
Relief was given to 466 individ-
uals and. families. A list was fur
nished through the Tribal office
showing every individual and
family that was served. This re-
port gave the number of people
in the family, the amount of groc-
cries delivered and the amount of
food and clothing. The program
worked out very we'll and your
local Red Cross Chapter spent
approximately $3.50 on the pro-
gram.
Many calls have come to the
local Red Cross Chapter through
the year. In some cases veter-
ans have been furnished money
to come home from or go back to
Service in emergencies, where
sickness or death was involved.
The number of cases of veterans
arriving in Browning and unable
to get to their destination have
been given a id to get on their
way.
Since the first of the year con-
ditions over the Reservation have
been extremely bad and demands
for direct relief, food. fuel, and
clothing have come. AS the local
Chapter has expended all funds,
your Chairman of Home Service

the American Red Cross on Janu-

Where Big Vote Will Pay
Labor Biggest Dividends

Washington (LPA)-Voters are
watching Korea and forgetting
about Congress-but November
is still Election Day-warns Louis
H. Bean, election expert, and auth
or of "The Midterm Battle, his
new book on the 1850 elections.
Bean is a political analyst and
forecaster with an amazing record
of accurate predictions. He was one
of the very few who called the turn
in 1948.
a Bean points out that during
wartime, voters stay away from the
polls. And many people fail to vote
in off-year or mid-term elections.
When a mid-term election is held
in a wartime atmosphere, an un-
usually light vote may be expect
ed, unless steps are taken to re-
verse this trend"
Labor's political directors have
pointed out time and again that a
light vote, especially in important
industrial states, works to the ad-
vantage of the reactionaries. A
heavy vote works to the advantage
of labor's friends.
Bean points out that nine states

202 congressman. The states are
Massachusetts, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Michigan, Illinois and Miss
ouri. In these states, successful
get-out-the-vote campaigns will pay
the biggest dividends.
These nine states in 1948 elected
100 Democratic congressman, Bean
notes. The 81 new Democratic con-
gressmen were nearly twice the
number needed for the Democrats
to regain control of the House of
Representatives.
Instead of 1850 being an off
year, 1850 must be an on-year,
labor's political directors have
pointed out. The Congress elected
in 1850 will be the Congress under
which the nations workers will
have to live in the tough period
ahead. The kind Of Congress to be
chosen depends on whether labor
turns out to vote.

bought in large quantities by lead
ers of labor and liberal groups, be-
cause they consider the book a
handbook for political workers.

Bill Of Rights Still
In Constitution
Truman Reminds

Washington (LPA) = Presiden
Truman, at his press conference
July 27 reminded the nation thai
the Bill Of Rights is still a part Of
the US Constitution, and an i'm.
portant part of that document.
His reminder came in the wake
of a number of violent outbreaks
in various parts of the country
and evidence of a mounting hys-
terra throughout the country, and
growing suppression of civil lib
critics.
Detroit's city council has banned
the news stand sale not only OF
the Communist Daily Worker but
of other "subversive periodicals. u
The term "subversive", observers
have pointed out, is as wide as a
barn door. Police have confiscated
the papers and the stand of one
vendor who refused to- comply. Ten
workers distributing literature had
to be saved by police from an
angry mob.
In Birmingham, Ala, the city
authorities have not only outlawed
the Communist party as such, but
have passed an ordinance against
distribution of literature ISSUED
or purported to be issued, by the
CP. Punishment is 500 fine and
$50 days in Jail. "Purported" also
is as wide as barn door.

Readers Digest

Article On Power

Portland, Ore. UPA) - The
Readers Digest has admitted it
doctored an article on the Column
bia Valley Administration. The
Digest is the magazine than ran a
condensation of John T. Flynn's
hysterical book, "The Road Ahead,
I which has been sold by the hun
dreds of thousands by the anti
labor lobbies now being investigat-
ed by Congress. The condensations

groups.
An article in the August issue,
written by Leslie A. Miller, ex-gov-
ernor of Wyoming, attacked the
eva and three officials, as "neat-
ly placed in strategic spots for pro-
noting the socialist dream" of the
US Interior Dept. One of the three
officials mentioned was Paul j.
Raver, Bonneville administrator.
The article as published called
Raver socialist.
Reached by telephone, Alfred S.
Dashiell, managing editor of the
Digest explained:
"In editing, we often use the
summarizing phrase. That phrase
which said Raver was a socialist
did not appear in the original
script by Miller, but it was insert
ed on the strength Of the articles
content"
Dashiell said the term socialist
was applied to Raver on the basis
of his own quotes and record as
discussed in the article.
"We used a small 'S' for social
ist, as we were not calling him a
member of the Socialist party. His
views and activity for public power
are in line with the Socialist plat
form, however," Dashiell said.

time will be had by all.
AT the last regular meeting we
had one of the finest turnOuts ever.
There were discussions on some
very important matters. A number
who attended said they were GER

as they had heard and learned of
things they never knew existed in

This idea of making individual

4. Apply for unemployment with

duty or from disqualification con-
tinuing after discharge for period
of not more than l year.
5. The statutes require that if
the position he left was in the en-
ploy of a private employer, the
employers circumstances must not
have so changed as to make it i'm
possible or unreasonable to rein
state the exserviceman. However,
the statute declares it to be the
sense of Congress that the ex-
serviceman shall be restored in a
manner which will give him, upon
his return, the status he would
have had he remained continuously

ton he left, the ex-serviceman is
to be restored to such other posi-
tion as he is able to fill.

$4,000 Win Wage
Raise, Pension At
American viscose

New York (LPA)-Wage gains
and a pension plan have been wor
for $4,000 members of the Textile
Workers in seven plants of the
| American Viscose Corp. Gains fol
the first year total S5 million.
Specific gains won were: A gen.
eral increase of 7 per cent, retro,
active to July l, averaging IL cents
an hour, and bringing average
hourly earrings to $1.55; an addi-
tional / cent for corrections OF
wage inequities; another general
Scent increase by June 80, 1851
| a pension plan which guarantees
minimum of $1,000 year after
25 years service; rate of 212
times normal for any of the six
holidays worked.
The mills covered are in Lewis
town, Marcus Hook and Mealville,
Pa; Parkersburg AMI Nitro, W.
Va; Front Royal and Roanoke, Va.
Separate negotiations are being
conducted for the plant at Fred
ericksburg, Va.
Herbert w. Payne, director of
the unions synthetic yarn division,
said the settlement would facilit-
ate talks involving 10000 others
at Celanese and Industrial Rayon
Corp. American Viscose, largest
US maker of synthetic yarn, tradi-
tionally sets the pattern for the
industry, Payne said.
The present contributory pension
plan, in effect since 1943, will con-
tinue to be the foundation of the
old-age retirement system. The
company will increase its contri-
buttons from the present $1.25 to
$1.50 for every 81 contributed by
the employees. Many workers will
get double the minimum, or more,
on retirement. The $50 workers
pensioned since 1943 will get the
benefits of the new minimum. Inc
company will continue to pay the
entire cost of a complete social in
surance program, including sick
ness and accident benefits, hospi-
talization, surgical expenses and
life insurance.
The union has asked $50 dyeing
and finishing plants in this area to
raise wages, and finance pensions
and vacations. The union wants a

Washington, D. C.-Secretary OF
Labor Maurice ]. Tobin has listed
conditions that persons who enter
the armed forces must meet ir
order to insure eligibility for re-
employment rights upon release
from active service.
While the statutes do not re-
quire the employer to be given any
particular form of notice that the
individual is leaving to enter mill
tary service, it is desirable that
such notice be given in writing and
that inquiry be made as to the en-
ployer's policy with respect to plac-
ing persons on military leave, the
Secretary said.
He pointed out that persons en-
tering the armed forces are eligi-
BILE for unemployment rights only
if they fulfill all the conditions re-
quired by law. 1t is therefore essen
tial that they be familiar with
these conditions. The fact that the
entrance into military service is
voluntary does not prevent the per-
son from having the right to re-
claim his old job.
The unemployment rights laws
now in effect require that to OBJ
tain unemployment benefits a per-
son must:
/. Leave a position other than
temporary in the employ of a pri-
vate employer or the U. S. Gov
ernment for the purpose of enter
ing upon active duty in the armed
forces of the United States.
2. Satisfactorily complete his
military service and receive a
certificate to that effect.
