General Ridgewuy
Says He Will Judge
by Performance

Allied negotiators during the
tWenty-fourth session at Kae-
song expressed the hope that
the reds will match the Unit
ed States readiness to compro-
mise on an armiStice line
across Korea. They got no en-
enlargement yesterday as the
communists virtually slapped
down every conciliatory ges-
ture by Admiral C.Turner Joy.
The only thing the delegates
could agree on was to meet
again today for the 18th ses-
sion.
General Ridgeway said that
the communists have so far
produced no evidence Of hon
est, peaceful intentions. The
General said he will now judge
their intentions in Kaesong
not by words but by perfor-
nance.

ANcHORAGE AIAsKA

\
from Mrs. r. L., Silver Spring. ]
Lucky Mrs. "A. B. of Falls
Church to be going to Anchorage,
Alaska! We spent rs months
there and loved every minute
Iof it. :
Whether you enjoy life in Alaska
depends great deal on the con-
lditions under which you live.
Naturally, living in trailer camn
Ior in a taxpayer shack isn't as at
tractive as living in a new house
on the Army post, as did.
Anchorage is a bustling, up-to-
date town, bulging at the seams to
be sure, but nonetheless very pro-
gressive. It reminded us "a great
deal of our home town in the
Midwest, although the people are
considerably more cosmopolitan.
Electricity. telephone and the like
are the same, although there is no
city gas. Stoves are either electric
or fuel OIL The main street is
wide and paved and lined with up
to-date shops. There are many
nice ready-to-wear stores, one
good department. store, and all
other shops you'd find in COM
parable city in the United States.
For the most part, nationally
advertised Merchandise such as
washers, irons, toasters and the
like are the same price as here.
Food. on the other hand, is con-
slderably higher. There are no
chain groceries. The markets are
more on the order of the quality
charge and deliver type. Every
thing is available. Two local
dairies deliver milk-at around 40
cents per quart, fresh eggs are al
ways over ST. Prices on fruits.
and vegetables were as much as
doubled because much of it is

garden spot you can grow lots
of vegetables and berries as did
We also picked wild raspberries.
cranberries and blueberries and
had ample jelly and jam and, oil
course, we always had our frozen
food locker full of fish.
Housing is very tight. Rents
range from $50 in the veterans
housing to 5000 and more for al
house or new "de luxe" apartment.
There is steady turnover of
Army personnel who have been
living in town so there are plenty
OF small houses on the market
from $4,000 to $4,000, some of
them furnished or partly so.
We wore the same type of cloth +

However. the day after doing

awful pains and aches in my legs

this?"
A. Muscles always become sore
when one begins exercises. This
will pass away. However, you
must have done them far too

ginner. Always start in with only

AUSTRIA; GARRY OWEN?"
From Mrs. r. w. E., Vienna, Va.J
To Mrs. A. M. H, who requested
information about Austria. spent
25 months in Linz, Austria, and
found it lovely country.
Except for clothing, nearly every
thing for your home can be gotten
from the quartermaster. To make
cooking a little more simple
would take measuring cups and
spoons, flour sitter, egg better and
heavy Skillets. I took my waffle
iron and toaster, too, for there are
none to be had there. Pans of
most sizes for cooking and baking
are available.
Summers are very warm, so the
summer clothing you wear here is
suitable. Cleaning facilities are
very poor, so clothing that is diff
f1cult to clean is not practical. The
winters are quite cold, with lots of
snow, SO you will need snow suits
and boots for your little girl and
warm clothes for yourself. If you
sew, by all means take your sewing
machine and patterns. I thought
I had plenty of clothing for my.
little girl. but at 2 they grow so
fast it is hard to buy clothes for
next year. Material Is available
in the PIX and in the Austrian
stores, which carry some lovely
woolenS, and they aren't too ex-
pensiVe. I made arrangements
with children's store so I could
order clothing for my daughter
and found it very convenient.
There were always the mail order
catalogues. too, and they were used
a great deal.
Nearly all bedding except bed
spreads can be drawn from the
quartermaster. Some tablecloths
and napkins are available. Towels,
dish towels, scarves, doilies. ETC.,
I'd take.
I wished many times for a wash
ing machine, for everything is
washed by hand and the Austrians
like to take brush to everything,
which is hard on the clothing. I
took my iron, too, for their electric
irons have no heat control.
The electricity is 220-volt in
many places and the outlets are
different, but converters for plugs
are obtainable in the PIX. Trans
formers were obtainable in few
stores; but were little expensive.
I don't know whether Or not they
can be purchased here.
I have a request: Does any one
know if the record Garry Owen"
can be obtained any place? I
have tried many record stores here
but they do not have it.

An Editorial From Capital Times,
Madison, Wisconsin

Sen. Pat McCarran, the Nevada
Democrat who has distinguished him
self in the senate as staunch champ
ion of the gambling racket that domi-
mates his state and who has been
voted the second worst senator in. a
poll of Washington correspondents,
has asked the senate for $4,000 to
continue the Investigations of the
senate internal security subcommit-
tee, which he heads.
McCarran is a member of the Kohl
berg cult, except that he doesn't place
primary emphasis on loyalty to Chi
ang Kai-shek as the test of good
American. He believes that loyalty to
Franco should be the test
He has taken pains to assure that
any investigations into the loyalty of
Americans will be supervised by Pat
McCarran. AS chairman of the power
full senate judiciary committee he was
able to kill the committee of disting-
uished citizens appointed by Pres.
Truman and headed by Adm. Chester
Nimitz to investigate loyalty ques-
tions.
His committee has given a great
boost to the ex-Communists who have
made profession of confession. At
time when their lecture and publ
cation fees had begun to fall off, Nc
Carran's subcommittee gave them a
new lease on life by calling them back
into headlines and having them re-
cite again the old litany.
The testimony has been the same
They have been unable to provide
proof of their accusations, but they
continue to repeat that "Browder told
me that so-and-so was one of our
boys" or that "Gen. Popoff of the
Russian secret police told Commissar
Dumkoff who told me that so-and-so
was one of our secret conspirators."
This, of course, is the sheerest hear
say evidence. 1t has been barred in
Anglo-Saxon courts since men first
began to put their minds to the task
of working out a system of jurispru-
dence that would afford reasonable
assurance of human justice. The hear
say rule was adopted for an obvious
purpose-to prevent court of justice
from becoming forum for gossip.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1951-10-19
Sen. McCARRAN DEGREES GOSSIP is
ADMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE

For that's what hearsay is. 1t is Cos
sip.
Sen. McCarran is not concerned
with traditional rules of American
justice. He has ruled that hearsay evil
dence is perfectly admissible before
his committee. Just as Gen. Bonnie
Meyers, who defrauded his govern
ment of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, was a gentlemen by act of
congress, gossip is now legitimate evil
dence by decree of Sen. McCarran.
The senator has an incredible ra-
tionalization for his rule. He says
that since it has been established that
Communist conspiracy exists, hear
say evidence is admissible. This, as
the Milwaukee Journal has pointed
out, is tantamount to saying that
since it has been established that A
is murdered it is perfectly all right
to allow B to testify that c told him
that D committed the murder.
This is what happens when glori-
fled gyp joint like Nevada is recog-
nized as state and allowed to send
it's representatives to the u. S. SEN
ate.
The senate should reject his request
for additional funds to continue his
irresponsible slandering and put the
question of loyalty Investigations into
the hands of a responsible citizens
committee, as the president has pro-
posed.

Kennedy Will Be Candidate
For SOME Office In 1852
The Peoples Voice

Helena, Montana
Dear Harry: I have noted rumor
in the Voice to the effect that L lam
casting a longing glance at the Lieut.
GovernOrship" and that Kennedy is
being rah-rahed into the RR&PS Com
mission race" Rumors are, of course,
dime dozen right now, including
the one that you are taking seriously
the letter in Charley DOherty's Mis-
soula Times few weeks ago-which
suggested you as a possible Democratic
candidate for Governor!
1t has been long considered in Mon
tana political circles to be a fact that
one who has the support of labor and
liberal groups and likewise the sup
port of the ACM can easily be elected
to public office. Conversely therefore,
it must be true that one who has the
opposition of the ACM and factions of
the liberal group cannot be elected to
public office. However, this may not
be true. Some day the company
strategy of dividing the liberal forces
is going to come a cropper.
If you were to take a poll to determ-
inc the persons the ACM would be most
opposed to for public office, | am of
the opinion that you would find the
names of Jerry O'Connell and John
Kennedy heading such a list What
then is the import of this? Should one
conclude that OConnell or Kennedy,
being most opposed by ACM are like
wise most feared by ACM? 1t has
been many years since Montanans have
elected anyone to state office who had
out and out and continued opposition of
ACM. (And the word continued" is
importantly. Maybe 1852 will be diff
ferent.

eraged around $40 per acre. If the cost
of the Marias project was handed over
to the Water Board, they would irri-
gate 1,450,000 acres instead of $4,000
acres. This would be an average of
$4,000 acres in every one of the Sc
counties in the State, with a far
better distribution of livestock feed.
etc.
Water projects are repayable in 80
years with interest and will be reraid.
1t is utterly impossible for the Marias
Project farmers to pay more than 1919
of the cost The taxpayers of course will
be stuck for the balance.
1t is of interest to note that the
Petrolia Bench project in Petroleum
county, 5000 acres, was just recently
completed by the State Water Board at
a cost of about $25 per acre.
At the average cost of $40 per acre
the Water Board would irrigate an
acreage equivalent to the Marias Prof.
ect for $3,200,000, instead of the S5S,-
100000. Quite a difference 1 would say.
Just why the promoters of the Ma
rias Project and few politicians are
willing to sabotage $40 of the taxpayers
money in order to get so cents bene-
fit is hard for me to understand. Dur
ing the early days in Montana stock
raising was one of the principal bust
nesses. There was a certain percent
age OF the cltlZenry that made 1t their
business to round up any calves they
could find that were unbranded and
old enough to wean, drive them far
enough away so they could never get
back to their mothers again who would
claim them, and put their own brand
on them They called them rustlers. A
limited number of these rustlers vent
even further. In order to steal a $40
calf they would shoot a $40 COW so
she could not claim it and the theft
pinned on them. This practice was
frowned upon, even by the honest
rustlers." Even they, helped the cow
men to hang the saboteurs to the
nearest cottonwood tree. An applica-
tion of the old timers idea of justice
might still be beneficial in this day
and age.
Criticism of a situation of condition
without offering suggestion for
its Improvement, is of but little value.
My suggestion is this. A requirement
that all beneficiaries of project that
the Government is requested to finance, |
make an advance payment of the esti-
mated cost, Of 5 %. Think it over
