BUSINESS GROWTH
NOTED IN STATE
Department of Commerce Els.
Inmates Show an Increase
Of "a Per Cent

Missoula, May ga healthy ex-
pansion in the number of Montana
business firms occurred during the
f~ive-year period, 1944-49, accord
ing to the April issue of Montana
Business, published by the bureau
of business and economic research
at Montana state university. De-
partment of commerce estimates
show an increase of "a per cent
from about 14,500 firms in 1914
from about 14,50C firms in 1914
t. approximately $4,000 in 1949.
During the same period the num-
Der of firms in the entire country
increased by about 80 per cent.
The year-to-year changes did not
change significantly the basic
business pattern of Montana. Bust
nessmen in the. state are still en-
gagged primarily in trade and serv-
ice activities. However, the rela-
tive number of manufacturing
firms in 1949 was moderately
higher in 1914, while the percent
age of firms in trade and service
was slightly smaller.
The most striking change in
Montana occurred in the construc-
ton field, where the number of
firms increased lat per cent dur
ing the five-year period, compared
to an increase of 1T per cent in
the country as a whole. In 1949,
there were about 46 per cent more
Montana manufacturing concerns
than in 1914, with an increase Of
27 per cent in the entire country.
Substantial increases also took
place in the number of Montana
firms engaged in the public utility
field, wholesale trade, service in
dustries, and retail trade. In min
ing and quarrying, however, there
were Is per cent fewer firms in
1949 than five years earlier.
Following the national trend, the
number of new business firms in
Montana increased each year
through 1916 and declined there
after. The entrance rate was high
est during 1916, the first postwar
year. The new firms each year
greatly outnumbered those drop
ping out until 1913. In that year
the entrance rate fell below the
discontinuance rate and the num-
Der of firms in operation dropped
about one per cent.

K|WAN|ANS FORMALLY
|NDUCT NEW MEMBERS.

Three new members who had
been added to the clubs roster dur
ing the past month were formally
welcomed and received Wednesday
evening by the Kiwanis club. They
We're Daniel E. Sharp of the Gull
ligan soft water service, intro
duced by Wesley Freeberg; Bus
Traver, manager of Orchid Clean
ers, introduced by Walter Menello;
and Lewis Y. Blackwell of the
Roysdon furniture store, introduced
by w. c. Barnett.
The formal welcome was ex-
tended by Allie Dolven, chairman
of the education committee, who
declared that after all the high
ideals had been defined by spoken
or printed words, a basic must was
attendance of members at meet
ings. By attendance they learned
first-hand-they played the game
with their teammates. This, he
considered, was the backbone for
successful functioning of all serv-
ice clubs.
AS the follow-up of a lecture
ne hal given some time ago on the
subject of bee culture, j. Willard
Baldwin exhibited six small con-
.tainers holding queen bees he had
just received from California. They
are to be introduced into hives as
requirements, or as mothers and
of new colonies. New colo
MES, ne explained, are delivered
usually as packages containing
three to four hundred worker bees.
The shipments by mail are from
accredited professional breeders re-
in California, Florida or
other southern states.
Barnett of the membership and
attendance committee reported that
Jones' team with 227 points
had won over Ward Penland's
team who had 1877 points. The
of the contest was April.
documents attesting the
achievement, and the menu of a
banquet, were duly signed,
sealed and delivered by the par
Elephants.
A visiting Kiwanian was Harold
Ooolen of Billings, lieutenant gov
,rnor, division d, district of Mon
ana. He is manager of Western
Construction Equipment company,
member of the board of Rocky
college, member of the
BOARD of the Billings Deaconess
hospital, and trustee of the Billings
Christian church. He presented a
ertificate of Acknowledgement
rom Kiwanis International to
Baldwin for capable leadership as
resident of the Laurel club in
-949.
In a brief address, Doolen said
'Kiwanis is not something you
Kiwanis is what you do"
nd that clubs are not necessarily
.like-their records depend on
vhat they do in the fields of COM
service.

City Tightens Liquor Law

A tightening of the city's control over the number of retail and dispensary liquor licenses within the city limits was made Monday as an a. mendment to the present ordinance was read for Ethe first time.
 Numerous requests for dis pensary licenses and the con- ing suit of Rose Shultz against the city for refusal to issue a liquor license to her brought about the new amen 1m ent.
 In the futuse dispensary or retail liquor licenses will be issued only when the popula- tlon of the city increases. Only

The amendment provides for those now holding licenses to renew them each year but no new ones will be issued until the population increases. The council will base it's decisions on the U. s. Federal census which is taken every 10 years.
 At the last census the popu lation within the City of Ko diak was 1885. The council figured that there are eigh retail and eight dispensary establishments within the city limits.

kADoW TALKS ABOUT
NORTH DEvEL OpMENT
AT Open FORUM HERE

TT will be a long time, with
or without statehood, before Alaska
gets rid of the Federal Govern
ment," Kenneth E. Kadow Chair
man of the Alaska Field Committee
stated Friday evening at an open
forum following the regular meet
ing of the Juneau Central Labor
Council in the AF of L Hall. Ka-
d{ow was introduced by Harry w.
McCrea, President of the Council
Your voice must be heard. That
Statehood business is important"
Mr.. Kadow said He added that
he felt Alaska probably has at the
moment as effective governor as
you ever have had"
In stressing his point regarding
expenditures of Federal funds, the
Field Committee Chairman saio
that two out of every three dollars
primary income is from the FEEDER
al Government, that prior to 194l
the Federal Government was not
aware of Alaska but that the re-
cent war changed this.
after the war Alaska became
a very important security bastion,'
Mr.. Kadow said.
He outlined how his office, IN
conjunction with other Federal and
Territorial agencies, is bringing alb
out the development hoped for by
the Department of the Interior
1.-THE burden of developing Alaska
falls on the shoulders of the In
terror Department and my
office as well as on the
shoulders of the other offices aid
ing in this development. Those
that control private capital never
want to let it go and it will take
large sums of federal funds to start
development. 1 feel that the ex-
penditures of such funds will at
tract private capital"
Kadow said his office estimated
about 100000 people would be need
ed to start such development.
ALASKA is on a tremendous hon
eymoon with Congress" said kadoW
adding that Congress feels very
strongly about developing the Ter
ritory as a security bastion He
told of talking with member OF
Congress who was from Tennessee.
This Congressman questioned Mr.
Kadow concerning money foi
schools in the Territory stating
that some people in his own state
went barefoot and that there were
not enough schools for them nor
would they gain a great zeal
such schools were built. kadoW
said that as soon as he pointed out
that schools for Eskimos would pre-
mare them to better understand
Alaska's problems and possibly run
radar screens a rart Oh .iie
present military program for the
Northern Alaska Coast the
Congressman was in favor OF great
or concentrations which were
soon Forthcoming.
Regarding housing Mr.. kadow
said, There is no reason now, u
anyone needs house, why they
can't get one either by providing
the necessary 10 per cent equity
or by personal labor. Housing came
first on our agenda."
In discussing Aboriginal Rights
Kadow made it clear that the
longer this question is left hanging
the more it will cost. He pointed
out that Eskimos near Barrow arc
far more aware of the value OF
their land since oil development
has been started. Il don't profess
to know anything about it but i
is more than an emotional PROB
lem it's a legal problem and L
YOU don't get it settled now you
are going to pay through the nose
for it later"

GEORGE +. SOKOLSKY
A SOUND BOOK

Ralph de Toledano and Victor
Lasky have written good book
seeds of Treason" in which Is
given an excellent account of the
Hiss Chambers tragedy. After
read that book, I understood the
personality of and reason for Whit
taker Chambers.
Although l have been through
mountains of material on this SUBJ
ject, 1 was so fascinated by Seeds
of Treason" that l read it from
cover to cover, in one sitting
through a night. The authors are
young newspapermen, students OF
the problem of Communism In
America, hard workers in field OF
tares and thistles. ........
Imagine the shock when I read
a review of this book in THE New
York Times Book Review" last Sum
day by one John Desmond, con-
demning Seeds of Treason" ano
ienouncing it's authors as being
guilty of IAN element of irrespons-
ibility." Mr.. Desmond makes this
point:
q" There seems to be a basic
assumption on the part OF the
authors that many, if not all, the
men named before the House COM
Mite were in fact connected with
the Communist underground
This reviewer is not in a posi-
ton to say whether that assump-
ton is correct. But the point is
that Toledano and Lasky do not
know either, SO far as this reviewer
can learn"
What he undoubtedly means, IN
this ambiguous statement which
does not give names, pages, OF
other leading references, is the
Harold Ware Communist cell. That
cell was organized in 1884 to in
filtrate the highest offices OF gov
crnment. Its membership is listed
n testimony in the trial.
Messrs. de Toledano and LasKy
did not have to refer to the data
gathered by the House committee
On un-American activities; they
needed only to use the record OF
The two Hiss trials, which they did
This data was in 1889 given to the
Department of Justice by DR.. j. b
Matthews of the Dies committee,
it was also given to Marvin Mcln-
tyre. Secretary to President Roos-
eyelt. and to A. A. Berle, Jr, AS
sistant Secretary OF State, in the
same year by Whitaker Chambers
The Harold Ware Communist cell
is. by now, amply documented. In
this connection, I also call ATTENTION
to the memorandum by Raymond
Murphy, of the State Department
placed in evidence in the Secono
Hiss Trial.
If Mr.. Desmond did not Kno"
that, he should not have been
asked by SO important a newspaper
as the New York Times to write
a review of a timely and import
ant book.
Mr.. Desmond seems to object tt
the speed with which this book
was prepared. Actually, to my per-
sonal knowledge, they have been
at work on this material for sew
eral years, long before there was a
Hiss Trial. In a word, Ralph de
Toledano and Victor Lasky are de-
voted students in the field of Com
munist infiltration everywhere. The
Hiss Trials are incidental to
broader survey of one of America s
greatest problems-namely, her be-
trayal by her own sons.
This betrayal occurred not only
in the State Department, but IN
radio in the movies, in newspapers
