Recruiting to the regular armed
forces has been dropping since
1947. That year, enlistments
totaled $4,000. In 1948 the total
declined to $1,000 and in 1949 te
800. The downward trend con-
tinued in the first six months OF
this year.

The United States is extremely
fortunate to have as its President,

possesses the good American quail

cause an overload ON project facil-
tiles, little cooperative planning
between farmers on the project may
help. Rotation of water between
users if well planned in advance of
need often results in much greater
efficiency in the use Of water. This
can result in large heads for irriga-
ton, faster coverage of land and
avoiding waste of water which may
not be needed at certain times on
some of the farms.
BY planning the use of water for
the project and for the farm, much
can be accomplished to beat down
the peaks. They will not be elimi-
mated, because the season is short
and crop demands come at the same
time on many farms. Any reduction
in peak demand will be beneficial
in dollars saved or earned, especially
in dry years.

Pump Irrigation
From Wells

I am thinking of digging
well and pumping wafer from II
for irrig alton. possibly by
sprinkler systems. What would
a well digging job cost and how
much water would il have 10
produce? Also. what kind of
pumping setup would I need?
We can hit good flow of wafer
at 10 TO 20 feet.-F. w. c.. Daw-
SON county.
In regard to irrigation wells, I
think you will find that it will prob
ably cost you minimum of about
$500 to drill a well and install the
casing for irrigation. 1t might be
somewhat less for sprinkler irriga-
ton, depending on the well driller,
and the size of casing which you in
stall
For irrigation by sprinkling, you
would need well which will deliver
at least ESQ gallons per minute in
order to irrigate SO acres. Probably
300 gallons per minute would be a
more satisfactory flow for this acre
age.
If you plan to irrigate by surface
methods, think you should have
at least 900 gallons per minute flow
to justify the time of an irrigator
in spreading the water. Wells have
been used successfully to irrigate
from in several states, but have not
been used extensively in Montana.
I notice you indicate that you
would be able to get good flow
of water at 10 to 20 feet. Most irri-
cation wells run somewhat deeper
than that. If you have a good gravel
water-bearing strata at shallow
depth, sometimes it is best to get a
drag line to dig out stump and use
an ordinary horizontal pump or
homemade pump to lift the water.
For sprinkler irrigation, you could
use the same pump that you use in
creating the pressure for the sprin-
kler system if you were irrigating
from a stump. I expect the cost of
digging the stump might be some
what less than having regular irri-
cation well drilled with casing in
stalled and pumps to operate it.
1t will be advisable to have the
water tested for suitability for irri-

Repercussions Set Oh
By Basing Point Veto
May Sway Election
BY the Associcfed Press

| President Truman's veto of the
hard-fought basing point bill set
off sharp repercussions today
which well may echo during the
November congressional elections
1 The 1,600-word veto message
Mr.. Truman sent to Congress yes
terday was. viewed in some quar-
terS as a sharp setback for AS
sistant Senate Democratic Leader
Myers of Pennsylvania and a pat
on the back for two administra-
ton minded Southerners, Sena-
tors Long, Democrat, of Louisi-
ana, and Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama.
Senator Myers, who wanted the
bill approved, faces a tough fight
for reelection In his highly-in-
dustrialized State. Senators Long
and Hill. also up for reelection,
had opposed the bill, which would
have allowed businessmen to alb
sorb freight costs in quoting de-
livered prices on their products
The veto also was viewed as an
other victory for Senator Douglas
Democrat, of Illinois, who fought
the bill as hard as he did the Kerr
natural gas bill. which the Presi-
dent also vetoed.
There was general agreement
among proponents of basing point
that they lack sufficient votes to
override the veto.
In the House Representative
Walters, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania announced he would press
for immediate consideration of a
stop-gap bill aimed at holding off
for two years any antitrust ac-
ton against individual business
men who want to absorb freight
costs or sell at delivered prices in
good faith and in the absence of
conspiracy.

Wherry Tells Lucas
Bill 10 Curb Reds
Is Not Political
BY the Associoted Press

A politics charge fired by SEN
ator Lucas. Democrat, of Illinois.
against Republican efforts to get
Senate action on a Communist
registration bill drew sharp
denial last night from Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska.
Senator Lucas, the Democratic
leader, told reporters after the
Senate failed to act on the bill
in a brief session that q demand
for action on the measure by
Senators Mundt, Republican. Of
South Dakota, and Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan, was made
purely for political reasons and
nothing else"
Some of these people better
stop playing politics while this
crisis is on" he said, alluding to
developments in Korea.
Denies Lucas Charge.
Senator Wherry. the Republican
floor leader. retorted that there
was nothing political in the COP
efforts to get action on a bill
which would require the registra-
tion Of Communist Party MEM
bers and bar them from appoin-
tive Offices in the Government.
IF the Senate finds time to
consider anything except the tax
bill and the general appropriations
bill. the Republicans are going to
insist that it act on this measure
to curb subversiyes. |" Senator
Wherry told a reporter.
Senator Lucas has been talking
about trying to adjourn Congress
by August 1.4If he's going to stick
to the tax bill and the appropria-
tions bill-which will take most
of the time between now and then
we're not insisting on action on
the subversive measure.
"But If he is going to take up
Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska
and a lot of other measures,
either before or after August /,
then we have a right to ask for
action on this BILL
Committee to Decide.
Senator Lucas said he will ask
the Democratic Policy Committee
at a meeting Wednesday what 1t
wants to do about the subversives
measure sponsored by Mundt,
Senators Ferguson and Johnston,
Democrat. of South Carolina.
Senator Mundt served notice
that he will try to bring up the
subversiyes bill later in the session
but set no time for that effort.
Critics have contended the
measure would drive the COM
munist Party underground and
make it more difficult for the FBI
to keep q check on its activities.
In a statement. Senator Mundt
said he thinks the fighting in
Korea is all the more reason for
not "coddling Communists at
home who lie in ambush ready
to sabotage our heroic efforts
abroad"
THE least-we can do" Senator
Mundt said. Is to expose by pub
lie registration the Communist
enemies In our midst"

OPPORTUNITY" At BROWNING
(Great Falls Tribune Editorial)

(Great Falls Tribune Editorial)
As was related in Saturdays
issue of The Tribune, Fridays
issue of the Browning Chief.
eekly newspaper of Glac-
Ter county, carried a two-column
front page notice which read:
Wanted! A mayor and board
of councilman. A glorious op-
portunity for fine public service. :"
The notice was the sequel to
the fact that Browning's mayor
and the council had resigned
"Fed-up" W t h the general
apathy" of t b local residents
regarding the towns problems.
We don't know whether there
was any connection between the
page one news of the decision of
the mayor and councilmen and
the clipped editorial from t h e
Christian Science Monitor carried
on tn e editorial page of the
Browning newspaper. The edi-
torial related to census figures
showing that in Vermont the
people were gaining on c o W 8,
which long have outnumbered
them. Making it clear that YER
monters are mice people," and
that they were not being singled
out for any special or exclusive
criticism, the Monitor editorial
cited some instances where cows
might be preferable to 8 o m e
people.
Listing a few human disturb
ers, ranging from nuisances to
social menances, the editorial
concludes: If we knew any state
where these gentry were replaced
by quiet, well-behaved cow s
(Guernseys preferred, but we
aren't choosey), we'd be tempt
ed to move there"
The resolution explaining the
action of the Browning city
fathers stated in part: "Lawless-
ness and drunkenness are ram
pant. the courts a r e inclined
to ignore or treat lightly law
breaking and liquor traffic by fed
eral W ard s and others. the
public and press are prone to
criticize and ridicule efforts of
officers and their policemen"
The situation at Browning is
complicated by its location at the
edge of the Indian reservation.
There the lines of federal.
state and local authority cross
and become a bit complicated.
There is reason to sympathize
with the outgoing mayor and city
council of Browning. We shall
await with interest the news of
replacement applicants who an
