PRESIDENT TRUMANs MEMOIRS

Former President Harry Truman has repeatedly sold
his memoirs for about 100000 to prominent weekly
magazine. The memoirs will Mr.. Humans entire
service in Washington, including his stay in the Senate
and as Vice-President -
The edge has been taken off the Truman memoirs,
to extent by recent books which quoted many Of
his official papers and correspondence These pubiea
tons came out in 1882 the President winding up
his tenure in the White House and caused mild sensa-
ton in many quarters.
However the tendency of the former President to
speak out frankly will still be great attraction to the
average American who likes to read blunt words wheth-
not he agrees with them Mr. Truman estimates
will be at least two years before his memoirs can be pub

speak fully subjects pertaining to his role

After the memoirs appear in the magazine they viii

Every Phase OF
Industry Jumps
!. BY BoB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD IN - To anyone
who covers the entertainment in.
dustry one thing is evident-every
phase Of it has the jumps.
Take the movie industry. You
hear a lot OF brave talk about new
dimensions. But everyone knows
that Sd can be only a temporary
shot of adrenalin. The only thing
that win help the movie business
is good pictures, and the studios
can not make enough Of them.
TV, too, has the filters. Some
big shows are finding ready luy-
ers, but a great number of adver.
tiSers are shying away from the
huge prices asked for programs.
As one network official told me:
We've got the shows, but we can't
find the sponsors to pay a million
dollars for them"
In the postwar era, the record
business began b feel the twin
pinches of less spending money
and family interest in TV. But a
chronological advance-the devel,
opment Of long-playing records
brought renewed interest in home
monographs.
The film industry and - to a
lesser degree-the ~ concerns are
also pinning their futures on the
technicians. In the picture bust.

And then there are the gadgets

FALSE PUBLICITY"

E. Glacier Park, Nov. 4
The Glacier Reporter, Browning
Dear Editor:
Your Reporter of October %
was given to me by one of your
readers and wanted me to read
the article titled Second Bonan-
"a" which l did, and of course,
I knew they were referring to my
father, Sam Somes, calling him
hardrock miner, the second
time he has been called a miner.
The Great Falls Tribune had re-
written an article l had sent in,
and not only that - stories were
written.
We were all so proud of dad
in those days when he had struck
that oil and l think with all his
money and many many hard
ships, that Montana would be 10y
al enough to give his name. 1t
certainly was given when he
struck oil and many nice write
ups in the Great Falls Tribune
and Leader.
He was a very honest and
good citizen, and a sick man with
a heart ailment. l can truthfully
say | have never known of dad
even going once to his mines. He
had men who did his assessments
on what claims he had, and was
absolutely not at the claim when
they found some black oil rum
ming down the rocks. One of the
men brought some of it down in
a bottle.
These claims we're located for
him by Dan Dudley and Jack
Bryce, though he was at St.
Marys.
At least in this article they
give him credit for striking the
first well - as some other COM
pany has taken all the credit for
his we'll.
just can't see why all this has
been done to him. We lived at
the old town of Allyn from 80,
a year after the script was thrown
open and was there from start
to finish up to 1908, when he was
notified they were turning it in
to park and to discontinue
work. But still in 1910 after Bryce
had died and assessment work
was not done, the claim was
jumped and sold to Louie Hill,
and l have many letters here of
interest, and after all it is water
under the bridge, but can prove
by many people who still live
that dad was no miner and GER
tainly deserves better treatment
from this Montana.
If you are interested you can
drop a card and l will show you
my letters and proof.
Very sincerely,
Edna Wagner.

EARL SHOOP TO ATTEND
CATTLE MEETING IN EAST

AS president of the Galloway
Breeders association, Earl Shoop
will attend the groups annual
meeting at East Lansing, Michi'
gan November "a to 81.
The association has a nation
wide membership, Shoop having
the largest herd, which numbers
43O head. Every year, breeding
stock from his herd is supplied
to cattle growers not only in this
country, but in Canada as well.
Last summer a New Zealand
grower visited his ranch to in
spect his herd. Pleased with what
he saw, Shoop said, there is E
likelihood that the Galloway
breed may become one of New
Zealand's popular choices of
strong, beef-producing cattle.
Shops herd was begun five
years ago with a small fraction
of its present size being the nu'
cleus of the present project.
