An 11-year-old Falls Church
boy who swims a mile and a half
daily and sometimes. 21a, is train
ing for the 1856 Olympics.
Among those who predict: he'll
go places in world competition is
a former Olympic swimmer and
world record-holder who tutors
him.
Winston K. Pendleton, jr., is the
boy. Col. Taylor Drysdale. former
University of Michigan star who
swan in the 1886 Olympics and
held several world records, is his
instructor and model.
Col. Drysdale. a nuclear physi-
cist in the Air Force Office of
Atomic Energy, is a friend of
Winston, ST.. education officer in
the Office of Industrial Security
Their friendship began some years
ago when both were Army officers
in London. Last January their
paths crossed again in chance
meeting at the Pentagon.
Still swimming?" Pendleton
asked.
Every time I have the oppor-
tunity." Drysdale grinned. He is
q tall, strikingly handsome man
of 38 who looks today as though
he might still be a competitive
star.
Boy Astounds Colonel.
my young son." said Pendle-
ton. would be thrilled to swim
with you"
The lad got his chance next
day and the colonel big surprise.
Little Winston dove into the
Ambassador Hotel pool and lit out
like a fish.
Holy smoke!" Drysdale gasped.
Pendleton, sr. beamed. So did
Bill Armstrong. coach of the Am
baSsador Swimming Club who
spotted the boy last summer and
made him a member of the club.

strong delightedly relinquished his
protege to Drysdale.
Since January the boy and the
colonel have been swimming COM
panions two or three times a
week. Their styles have become

who responded SO quickly to in
struction."
1t was quite a compliment,
coming as it did from a swimmer
who for years held the National
intercollegiate backstroke cham
pionship, broke the world 300-yard
medley record of the famous
Buster Crabbe (this in 1885, and
reached the backstroke finals of
the 1886 Olympics. Orysdale won
his preliminary and semifinal and
finished fourth in the final after
slipping on the takeoff.
For 1900 meters. Winston has
been clocked in 26 minutes SO sec
onds. For $500 meters his best
time is IS minutes So seconds.
These figures are better than av-
erage for adult competitors, Arm
strong says. He looks for the
water baby to win some races this
summer against adults.
Drysdale says the boy should be
q serious contender for national
honors in distance swimming by

EMPLOYMENT DROPPED LITTLE in OCTOBER.
REPORTS unemployment COMP. HEAD

October employment in Montana
industries and commerce declined
only LOO from the all-time peak
Of 1884 reached in September, ac-
cording to M. Joe Miller, chairman
of the unemployment compensation
commission. The October figure was
2,700 above that of October, 1851,
completing thirteen month cycle of
such increases over the same month
year before.
The net 2,700 gain for October in
Guided increase of 1,400 in whole
sale and retail trade, 700 in mining
employment, 500 in manufacturing,
800 in financial institutions, 300 in
all government branches, 200 in
transportation and utilities, and 100
in industrial services. The only de-
crease was in contract construction,
which was 800 below a year ago.
Explaining the diminished con-
struction employment, Mr.. Miller
pointed out that it was influenced
by completion of the prime contract
on Hungry Horse dam in the Flat
head country, and of the Cabinet
Gorge dam near Thompson Falls.
Nearly all of the increase in man
was in the lumber industry
and in petroleum refining. Metal min
ing accounted for all the growth in
the mining industry, since coal min
ing and quarrying were unchanged
from year ago. Steady expansion
in metal mining employment has been

Cooperative effort has accomplish
great deal for small farmers in
many parts of Montana. Through
co-operatives the small producers
have gained a media for group ac-
ton without which they could not
compete in the markets today.
However, the field has not been
fully explored in some parts of the
state. From Western Montana we
hear that small farmers who produce
fruit, such as apples, cherries and
berries and other perishables such as
eggs, find themselves at the peak of
their production season with more
produce than they can dispose of on
a glutted seasonal market. Each
farmers trying to find local retail
er for his goods results in great guam
titles of food products going to
waste.
1t has been said that if these small
producers would form a cooperative
they would be able to avail them
selves of storage, processing and dis
persing facilities that would salvage
their seasons labor, stabilize their

policy for more than a year and
the October figure was also bostered
by return of miners who had spent
the summer in outdoor work. Short
age of family housing facilities in
Butte has temporarily halted recruit
ment of additional mining forces.
Concerning the huge increase, l.
400, in wholesale and retail trade, Mr..
Miller related it to the expansion of
payrolls in primary industries, call
ing for increased distribution of
goods. Transportation and industrial
services were increased by the same
causes.
Labor shortages which existed at
the end of September gradually melt
ed away in October, as the annual
seasonal layoff period approached.
There were SGT more jobseekers at
offices of the employment service at
the close of October than at it's be-
ginning, but this was still 600 short
of the number of such jobseekers a
year ago.
Labor market prospects for the
next three months point to a con-
tinuing seasonal layoff in construc-
ton, farming, railroad maintenance
and in woods and sawmill. There
will be some reductions in commercial
trade and service employment after
the holidays.

incomes, and allow for a more salts
factory distribution of perishables.
They could even venture into the
cannery field.
For instance, there is Conner Lock
ridge of Corvallis. Corvallis is in
the land of the famous Bitter Root
Macintosh Red Apple. At one time
these apples were known across the
country for their delicacy and beauty,
but with no center of distribution,
Mr.. Lockridge finds himself with
boxes of large, fancy pack apples
waiting for the market to come to
him instead of his being able to go
to the market. Like other apple
growers, Mr.. Lockridge knows that
these apples are desirable commod-
ity. He knows they would solve the
Christmas gift problem for many
people in the state if he and other
farmers in the same boat could CO.
operate and make themselves known. |
There are many who believe that
a packinghouse cooperative would |
solve this problem.

by Wallace E. Register of the San
Francisco office of NLRB and came
about as result of the board hear
ing in Kalispell October 1917.
Previously, union officials, follow

WATCH new CONGRESS
ON TAX BINDINGS

WASHINGTON-CNS- The frs
indication of what the new congress
will do on taxation may come quickly
When the tax laws were written
last year the congress wrote expira-
ton dates on most of the tax in
creases. The attitude of congress
will come to a showdown on the fol-
lowing:
Excess profits taxes on corpor-
ations will automatically end on
July 1, 1858, unless congress votes
an extension of the current rates.
Individual income tax levies will
decrease on an average of about
per cent on December 81, 1853.
Excise tax levies will drop back
to lower rates in April, 1854, un-
less the congress taxes positive ac-
ton. These excise taxes cover
automobiles and trucks, cigarettes,
gasoline, alcoholic beverages and
sporting goods.
At stake in these four measures
is about S8.5 billion a year. A tax
cut of that amount can come without
any overt action by congress.

EMIGRANT AGENT LAWS
Despite the fact that the Consti-
tuition of the US. guarantees free
dom of movement across the borders
of the 48 states, five Southern states
have enacted "emigrant agent laws"
which are designed to prevent the
recruitment of labor for work outside
the state.
The Kennedys assert:
''The Texas statute, the most ex-
treme of its kind, requires a $4,000
license fee for each county in
which laborers are recruited and a
like fee for each county through
which they are transported to the
state border"
Cotton plantations, historically
the basis of chattel slavery in the
USA, continue to be the chief en-
ployer of debt slaves" the Kennedys
declare. "The number of Negroes
in those 551 Southern coun-
ties which are dominated by the one
crop cotton system is in the neigh
borhood of 5,114,948."
