DELAY DUE TO MECHANICAL TROUBLE

Changing over from the pub
LEGATION of the Browning Chief
to the Glacier Reporter has been de-
layed by unavoidable and unexpect.
ed mechanical difficulties, and the
paper this week is issued under
most trying conditions.
The installation of the new Limo
type machine was completed last
week, and the operation of moving
the Chief equipment into the new
location. was started Saturday morn
ing. Everything moved along accord
ing to schedule, but when the mo-
tors were to be attached to the
presses, 1t was found that differ
ent service line was in use in the
south portion of town than that be-
ing used in the Chief office build
ing, and consequently could not be
used. 1t was then necessary to
either have a number of transform
ers installed, and the building hous-
ing the new shop completely re-
wired, or purchase new motors to
conform to the available service.
The closest place to Browning
where the new motors could be OBJ
tanned was Great Falls, and this
caused delay of at least two days.
The job of moving printing
plant is one of no small proportions,
as much of the equipment is heavy
and has to be more or less dismantl-
ed to permit moving operations.
And then the job of re-assembling is
not an easy one, and despite our best
efforts several days were needed to
get things in readiness for opera
tibn., At best, it was not until Friday

OLSEN PROTESTS

Helena.-Attorney General Ar.
mold H. Olson Thursday suggested
that the Montana Railroad Commits.
sion refuse to grant the Montana
Power Company proposed gas
rate increase.
In brief submitted to the com.
mission, Olson said the proposed
increase should be denied unless
and until all the evidence of the ap-
pllcants plant, properties and
costs devoted to the supplying of
natural gas to all Montana users is
presented. >"
Olsen in statement, said the
commission in hearings on the pro.
posed increase last May exexcluded
all evidence pertaining to Canadian
gas brought into Montana for use
by the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company.
He said the Commission should
examine all evidence of plant valu-
alton and use before excluding any
thing from further consideration.
I'VE see no reason why the appli-
cant should see fit to ask the COM
mission to deny itself an opportun-
ity to examine the entire plant" de-
clared the attorney genertal.
''1f the commission grants a rate
Increase based upon valuation of
only part of the plant, the general
public may be forced to pay the gas
bill of the excluded customer-The
Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany,' stated Olsen
Olsen's brief was in reply to one
by Montana Power earlier in the
month
In brief filed last month Olsen
commended that figures submitted by
Montana were hypothetical valu.
atoms. He said they we're based
upon estimates of the cost of repro
ducing their entire plant at pres
ent building costs.
The attorney general claimed that
actual costs, less depreciation, real

WHEAT FARMERS
VOTE AUG. IA
ON QUOTAS

Wheat growers of Glacier county
will help decide whether the Com
modify Credit corporation loan on
the 1854 wheat crap will be 80 or
so per cent of parity. This is one of
the questions which will be an
swered in the wheat quota referen-
dunn to be held Aug. IA, 1858
AS explained, if two-thirds or
more of the wheat growers voting
in the referendum favor it, the
wheat marketing quota proclama-
ton made July by Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson will
be in effect. The present 80 per cent
of parity Commodity Credit corpar-
alton wheat then will continue for
the 1854 crop. If the vote is I'M
favorable the loan will drop to so
per cent of parity These support
rates will be available, however,
only to wheat growers who do not
exceed their wheat acreage allot-
ment. If marketing quotas are APP
proved in the referendum, growers
who plant more than their acreage
allotment will be subject to a pen
atty on their excess wheat unless il
is stored or disposed of as directed
by the secretary of agriculture If
quotas are disapprOved there is no
assurance of any price support for
growers who overplant.
The wheat supply picture looks
like this: Current 1858 crop esti-
mated at LIS million bushels. a
carryover of $50 million bushels,
and estimated imports of five mil
lion bushels. This gives total sup
ply for the 1953-54 marketing year
of about l,760 million bushels-set-
ting new record high. The normal
supply this year is estimated at L.
156 million bushels, covering esti-
mated domestic consumption and
and exports plus Is per cent. The
total of 1,7600 million bushels is
therefore more than so per cent
larger than the normal supply En-
listing legislation directs that
when the total supply of wheat eX-
ceeds the normal supply by more
than 20 per cent
The work of determining farm
acreage allotments has been done
The national acreage allotment de-
termined and announced by the sec
rotary of agriculture, was divided
among the states and counties on
the basis of past wheat production
history. The county acreage then
was decided among farms in the
county on the basis Of tillable acres.
crop rotation practices, types of soil
and topography. Information re-
Gently obtained from each farm OPP
orator has been used in applying
these factors to determine base
acreage for each wheat producing
farm. Each farmer will be notified
of his 1854 allotment before the ref
erendum is held.
Wheat producers in the county
who are qualified to vote in the
referendum will include owners.
operators and tenants who will
share directly in the proceeds from
the wheat grown on farm which
has a 1854 allotment of more than
IS acres. Growers who are not GER

Congressman wesley D'Ewart,
Montana's only Republican member
of the national congress, summar-
ICES the meaning of the recent sign
ing of the Koreon truce as follows:
After 81 months, the shooting has
stopped in Korea. And amid all
the debate and high feeling as to
the merits of the settlement, one
fact stands out. For awhile-at least
we hope forever-there will be no
new names added to the list of a..
965 Americans killed in battle, or
to the even larger list of wounded
and missing in action. And a sec
ond fact, that brings gladness to the
hearts of many Americans-3,3l2
American prisoners of war, some of
them captives since the very be-
ginning three years ago, will soon
be coming home.
The whole world has a lesson to
learn from this war. 1t has a les.
son that has been taught before, but
seldom has any prolonged period of
fighting shown it so clearly. When
war began three years ago Korea
was divided at the 38tht parallel. To
war began three years ago Koreo
was divided at the 18th parallel. To
fish an independent, economically
strong and automatically free ma
ton. In the north another gov
rnment, with the help of the Soviet
Union, was being nodded into the
familiar pattern of the Communist
satellite. Then came the attack.
Three years have passed. Since the
days of ancient Carthage, history
shows few instances of such COM
plete devastation of a country. The
battle ragged the entire length and
breadth of South Korea, destroying
everything in its path. And when
that had been done, the fighting
moved into North Korea, where
similar destruction by the armies
occurred. -
Tragic Cost Of War
Since the establishment of the
front near the 38th parallel, our war
planes have bombed and strafed
North Korea night and day, until
one wonders that anything is left in
tact. The economic damage may be
measured in monetary terms, but no
estimate can be placed upon the
human tragedy. Secretary Dulles
has said that one out of every three
North Koreans has suffered death
or serious injury. | have no doubt
the same may be said of the people
of South Korea. They and their al
lies suffered 100000 military casu-
allies. The North Koreans and the
Chinese suffered an estimated 2
million. These are tragic human sta
tlstlcs. In dollars, the war has cost
American taxpayers over S22 billion
an expenditure that has more
than made the difference between
balanced budget and additional
debt during the past three years.
We have spent another S7OO mil
hon for relief and reconstruction in
South Korea during the war. We are
asked to contribute another billion
for that purpose. The end result of
all this bloodshed. suffering and ex-
pense is the same situation that ex-
listed when war began. The frontier
between north and south Korea is
