LIn,bern,en attend
Cleveland. Meetinu

A delegation of local lumbefmen
are in Cleveland from Tuesday un-
til Thursday to participate in studies
of the effect upon building costs of
the nations all-time peak year in
dwelling construction. The year
1949, according to figures released
by the U. S. Department of Com
merce, surpassed the previous peak
year of 1926 by some 10000 dwelling
units, total of more than a mil
lion new dwellings,.
In consequence, though there is
an upward trend in material prices,
lumbermen are hoping that 1850 may
repeat the experience of 1949, when
there was slight reduction in over
all building costs, as a result of new
developments in design and con-
struction processes and more COM
plete factory fabrication of the ma
terials entering the home.
The most successful progress in
lowering building costs is being Sc
cured through reduction of labor on
the building site and substituting
assembly of more completely finished
parts for the old-time hand-craft
methods.
AS a result of this trend, the vast
majority of dwellings financed thru
FILA mortgages in 1949 are being
paid for under monthly payments of
less than $50 per month, or the tra-
ditional budget standards of one
weeks pay per month for shelter.
Among those from Steinman Bros.
Lumber Co. who are participating In
this conference are: Forrest Stein
man, Leonard Wingate, |. B. Beeshy,
Harvey Haas, Paul Reichenbach,
James Szabo and Miss Emma Dick
man.
The sessions, which are under the
auspices of The Ohio Association of
Retail Lumber Dealers, will be held
in the Cleveland Public Auditorium.

HIAWATHA IS
UN-AME MERICAM
From NEW YORK TIMES

From NEW YORK TIMES
"By the shore of the Pacific
By the shining Big -Sea-Water,
At small wigwam in Hollywood,
They have learned that Hiawatha
Wears the peace-paint of a Red
man."
So might surprised Longfellow
have beef forced to revise The Song
of Hiawatha after discovering that a
proposed movie on the Indian chief
was considered un-American at this
time and therefore would not be
made. A west coast studio has dis
covered, somewhat belatedly, that
Hiawatha Smoked the calumet, the
peace pipe, as signal to the ma
tions."
One more movie more or less, that
is announced and then not made will
not shake the entertainment founda-
tions of the country. But there is a
principle involved, even if only a
small one. 1t is that point of ridicu-
lousness can be reached and passed
in unreasoned hysteria. Such is the
case here with the suppression by
the movies of a schoolboy's poem.
Such too, is the case with the recent
radio censorship by privately ap-
pointed vigilantes.
Hiawatha apparently was suppress
sed because it would be regarded as
a message for peace and therefore
would aid Communist designs. But
the important thing to remember is
that peace is not Communist prop
erty; that it must be stressed here
and abroad that peace guides our
policies; that we act peace as we'll
as talk it. In the war of words and
ideas, we must not allow ourselves
to be taken ION long and distant
journey, to the portals of the sun
set"

PATRIOTISM CANNOT BE
QUESTIONED

1t sponsored the national programs
OF reclamation, power development,
rural electrification, and all other
national farm programs for the inn
provement of the economic life of
American farmers and the national
welfare. The Farmers Union in Mon
tana is one of the most popular and
patriotic organizations ever set up in
my State, and it's officers and mem
bers comprise a body of citizens
whose integrity and patriotism and
support of American institutions can
never be questioned.
Mr.. President, there seems to be a
broad political movement on foot in
TINS country to attack every liberal,
democratic organization which has
been set up for the purpose of inn
proving the economic welfare of our
people. This trend is demonstrated
by the several attacks being made
on the floor of the Senate by lead
ers OF the Republican Party against
Government officials.
Inc purpose seems to be to confuse
Ihe american people in regard to
Ihe loyalty and patriotism of mem
oers of the Government in regard TO
NATIONAL programs for the benefit of
The American people.

calculated to discredit the one major
farm organization which has consist
emily fought for greater economic Sc
curity for small farmers. Pertinent
parts of Sen. Murray's rebuttal, fol
follow:
The theme of the Senator's at
tack on the Farmers Union seems to
be that the Farmers Union is Com
munist-front organization and it's
officers are fellow-travelers actively
connected up with the Communist
movement in this country. This, of
course, is complete falsehood and
slander of thousands of fine, pa
triotie citizens of my State who be-
long to this splendid organization
of farmers. The National Farmers I'm
ion in Montana has given fine, whole
hearted support to every program for
improving the economic conditions
of the farmers of my State and for
the welfare of the people of Montana
as a whole
For long years Montana had been
the victim of exploitation by the big
interests of the United States through
the tariff system and through the mo-
nopolistic practices which had devel-
oped in our capitalistic system, which
had brought the farmers of Montana
to the verge of bankruptcy. The pol
icies and the programs of the Farm
ers Union were designed to rescue
our State from the effect of these
Its program was to spon-
'or the small, family-sized farm and
protect the farmers from exploita-
ion through the manipulation of
