HELP, HELP-MOMTANA'S
STATE Government
NEEDS CLERICAL HELP

Job opportunities are sprouting all
over the lot these days for young
women with stenographic education
and /or experience.
The State of Montana is badly in
need of stenographers, bookkeepers,
typists and general office help, at
the state capitol in Helena. So ex-
IRENE is the clerical shortage that
handling of much routine business
of the state is plagued with constant
delays. Montana's state government
needs our qualified young women
on the pay roll that that government
may function efficiently for all the
people of the state.
They're nice jobs. Superb working
conditions and pleasant surround
ings are the case in every instance
and these go far to offset higher
salaries currently being paid by fed
eral agencies and some private en-
ployers. The latter, for several years,
have been taking away from the state
much experienced personnel.
Bookkeepers salaries range from a
minimum starting scale of 1920 per
month up to $275; stenographers
from $185 to $3.50; typists and gen
eral office help, from SITS UP to
$240. Salary step-ups average once
every six months.
All employees receive Is days per
year vacation following one full year
on the staff. In addition women en-
ployes receive one day per month
sick leave. Employees are covered in
their declining years under the pub
lie employees retirement system-a
fund built up by state-employe joint
contributions.
Those interested in seeking more
information are requested to write to
M. F. Martinson, supervisor, State
Merit System, Room 148, Mitchell
Building, Helena.

DEMANDS COMMISSION GET federal EXPERT
BEFORE GRANTING TELEPHONE, RATE INCREASES

! tons Gonap1issfon1ate experts before
granting the telephone company's re-
quest for rate increases of up to 80
per cent, reports assembly secretary
William J. Priest, Livingston.
The assembly made its position
known in letter to the commission,
stating:
eve oppose any increase in rates
by the commission unless the commits
sion has an expert from the govern
ment at the hearings to refute the
testimony of the rate experts of the
utilities.
"When the railroad commission
was set up the trainers realized that
you were not qualified to be sole
judge, and provided that you should
hire experts.
''In the past, you have refused
to do this. Requesting the govern
ment to furnish the expert at gov
eminent expense. Your refusal
to spend a few hundred dollars
has cost the citizens thousands of
dollars in increased rates which
: you have so generously granted to
the utilities.
'|You are fully aware the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co. owns
over 80 per cent of the common stock
of Mountain States T & T. Sure,
they (AT&T) has over over a million
stockholders, pay 9 per cent divi-
dends, but rs per cent of stockhold-
ers get more than so per cent of the
profits paid out in dividends. The
80 biggest stockholders are the blue
book of big stock exchange firms, in
surance companies and financial
giants. They are one group who run
AT&T, the other group is the insiders.
Wilson, the president, received a sal
airy of $178,000.0O; former presi-
dent Clifford retired himself on a
pension of $98,OOO,OO0 a year ac-
cording to a financial report filed
with the Federal Communications
Commission.
Concluding the letter to the COM
mission, Secretary Priest advised:
eff | were a member of the COM
mission, and did not secure a govern
ment expert to give me the facts at
the hearings, would be tempted to
cut card or toss a coin, whether or
not to grant 10 per cent increase,
with the increase to be used solely
to raise the wages of the employees"

MINIMUM SUPPORT
PRICE FOR 1852 WHEAT
CROP ANNOUNCED

To help producers plan their 1852
operations, Secretary of Agriculture
! Charles F. Brannan has announced
that the price of wheat produced
next year will be supported at ma
tional average of not less than $2.17
a bushel, according to R. ]. McKenna,
chairman of the state production and
marketing administration committee.
The national average support price
for the current crop is $2.18 a bush
ell.
This minimum support price, chair
man McKenna, says, is 80 per cent of
the July Is, 1851 wheat parity price
of $2.41. If the wheat parity price on
July 1, 1952-the beginning of the
1912 wheat marketing years. high
er than $2.41, the support level will
be increased to reflect a 80. per cent
of parity support price. The support
will not be lower than the $2.17 av-
erage announced at this time in ac-
cordance with the forward pricing"
provisions of the Agricultural Act
of 1949.
Plans for carrying out support
commitments on the 1852 crop in
clude use of loans and purchase agree
ments under substantially the same
as producers are now US
ing them to secure support on 1851
crop gains.
Montana farmers are asked to seed
{, 100000 acres to wheat for harvest
next year, McKenna said. This is
larger acreage than would be recon-
for wheat production under
normal domestic and world condi-
tons, he added, and producers are
urged to plan carefully to help meet
the goal but not disrupt good, estab-
ished farming rotations or turn I'M
land to grain production.

Action by the Senate committee
came on the heels of Numerically

referred to the platform pledge of

declared that he sincerely hoped

STRAIGHT-JACKET FOR CO-OPS
Some cooperative and farm lead
ers declared that if the proposal of
the committee were to be enacted in
to law it would throw farm business
into the lap of giant profit making
corporations. The committee, they
pointed out, was substantially re-
ducing corporation income taxes and
at the same time proposing to put
co-operatives in straight-jacket such
as had never been suggested for any
other form of business enterprise.

In ordering the hearing FCC
Docket No. 10,026, August 8, 1850 =,
the implication is raised by FEC that
the transfer of the KFBB license
held by Buttrey Broadcast, Inc, from
Fred Birch to Fairmont may not be
in the public interest since 49,.
Fairmont's acquisition of
control of station KFBB would add
measurably to Anaconda's and
Fairmont's already substantial in
fluence in the state of Montana
stemming from their extensive
newspaper" business, mining, tim
Der and industrial holdings in the
state =.
In announcing the Great Falls
hearing, FEC stated that seven major
issues must be clarified to determine
whether it is in the public interest
to permit ACM to gain control of this
important Columbia outlet in Mon
tana. The seven issues on the hear
ing agenda, as printed in the FEC
brief are:
Il. To determine whether the
Fairmont Corporation, and its par
ent corporation, Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company, and their
respective officers, directors and
stockholders, possess the requi-
site character, legal, financial and
other qualifications to control sta
ton KFBB; and, relative to this
