Nea0 Building ProUides Space but
Equipment Lacking to Meet Needs

IF YOU SUBMITTED some of the
100000 grain samples handled in
each of the last few years by the
state grain inspection laboratory at
Great Falls. you are familiar with
the functions of the lab. And, if
you happened to submit a sample
during the peak of Montana's har-
vest activity. you may also be IA
miliar with its biggest problem-be-
cause you may not have seen your
test results for three weeks or
month.
Officials of the laboratory know
this service bottleneck has caused
inconvenience, dissatisfaction and
sometimes financial loss for those
depending on their tests. And, as
they watch consistently good crops
harvested in the state and see more
and more on-farm storage resulting
from farm loan programs, they feel
certain the high demand for their
services will be maintained. Already,
testing volume is nearly 20 times
heavier than in 1885 or before.
Inevitable Delays
"For Is years, we have always
had backlog from Aug. 1 on" says
George H. Moran, the states chief
grain inspector and superintendent
of the laboratory in Great Falls. ''On
occasion, we have fallen behind as
many as five or six or 1000 samples.
That means up to a months delay
between the time we get some
samples and report test results"
Two reasons for the bottleneck
have been inadequate space and lack
of equipment. Now, part of the prob
lem has been solved since the lab
oratory, which occupied rented office
space in downtown Great Falls since
its establishment in 1920, was moved
this year into new building spe-
officially designed and arranged for
quick, efficient and accurate grain
testing.
The building was financed by a
1850 legislative appropriation after
it became clear that efficient work
was impossible in the old, outgrown
quarters. Construction was started
in February last year, and the build
ing was occupied June 1. Space,
light, ventilation, efficient layout

THE POLES MOVING

Drs. Walter Munk and Roger Revelle, of the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography have concluded
that the North Pole moved about 10 feet toward
Greenland between 1900 and 1925. Since that time,
however they think it might have retreated by foot
two This information will not revolutionize the
world although it is interesting to note that the two
oceanographers beve that the amount of water in the
alters the distribution of matter and in our
earthly planet.
In other words, the theory is that rises and falls
in sea level caused by melting ice on Greenland or
perhaps melting Antarctic ice-caps, change the map
Of the planets and lengthen the days and, sometimes,
the poles.
One theory is that the poles, or correctly
earth was formed The South Pole is said to have been
located over land which is now in Central Africa.
Keeping that in mind, we glad to see that the
North Pole, which had moved southwark between
1900 and 1925 has turned around again. We per-

Congress Told 1t

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Short

may have to write more restric-
tive new laws to stop what he
termed a deplorable growth of
military brass.
Short, chairman of the House
Army Services Committee, said
present laws governing promo
tons in the armed services and
setting limits on the number of
officers in each rank may have
to be thoroughly reviewed and
revised.
Rep. Glenn R. Davis R-Wis)
told the committee Wednesday the
number of officers above the rank
of lieutenant colonel has increased
since the war, although the armed
forces now are only one-half or
0ne-quarter as large.
The Army, he said, will have
451 major generals. next June for

istics at the start of hearings to

Aide to Atomic Scientist
Found Mysteriously
Stabbed to Death

NEW YORK, RAAn aide to
an atomic scientist was myster-
iously stabbed to death with an
ice pick Wednesday night, but
the scientist said he doubted that
the Staying had any connection
with the atomic energy work.
The victim, James Doyle, about
SIS, was found in a hallway of a
residential building with the pick
still protuding from his heart.
He was employed as a clerk
and helper to DR.. John B. Dun
ming, dean of the Columbia Uni
versity School of Engineering, at
Columbia's Pupin Physics Labor
atory. Cummings was the first
atomic scientist to go to- work on
the Manhattan Project that de-
veloped the A-bomb.
ut is h ighly unlikely that
Doyle's murder had any connec-
ton whatsoever, with our work
concerning atomic energy" Dun
ming told an interviewer.
"In the first place, there is
essentially little classified work
being done at the laboratory, and,
in the second place, what little
of it is confidential Doyle had no
connection with.
"He was not a scientist and,
even if ne had access to secret
information, he was in no posi-
ton to do anything about it."
Dunning described Doyle as "a
loyal, solid fellow"

STORM OVER IMMIGRATION

Controversy is raging around the McCarren :
Walter immigration Act, which went into effect the
day before Christmas The reaction abroad has been
overwhelmingly critical Even such temperate, pro-
American newspaper the Manchester Guardian has
spoken of it "fat reputation" by the United
States of it's normal standards of decency; and the
claim is widely made that it is undoing all the good
will the Voice of America has been trying to Guilt
waite for years.
In the United States itself the Presidents Com
mission on immigration and Naturalization in vol
luminous report has labeled it IAN arrogant brazen in
strunen of discrimination based race, creed color
and national origin" Leading Protestant, Roman Cath
Ole, and Jewish spokesman, well numerous
reputable civic and national organizations have gone
on record as intellectually opposed to the act.
From all this it is clear that the immigration
law is something less than deaa fact which General
Eisenhower recognized during the campaign when he
spoke of its unfair provisions and the desirabity Of
revising them. Yet there is need for more careful
assessment of the good as we'll as the bad in the
present system.
It is true that the act needs revision and that it
departs long way from the spirit of George Washing
tOn who spoke of Americas bosom as open to receive
the oppressed and prosecuted of all nations and
religions But there is nothing inconsistent between
that generous spirit and selectivity based on
prejudice but realistic balancing Of humanitarian
considerations against problems Of cultural assnila-
ton in 20th-century society.

alton department Thursday.
One of the measures enacted,

previously been eliminated.
The other bill passed was intro

edcts Of Georgi NJ Maenkov as he did to
those of Joseph Stain. The British appar-
emily believe the best hope for a rift be-

lies in the relationship between Malenkov
and Mao Tsetung.

THE most important convert
Christianity ever made was ono
Of the very first ones. He was inn
portant not only for his own times
but for ours too His thinking set
the pattern for Christian thought
ever since His writings, or rather
the truths he brought out in his
writings, have been at the heart
Of most Of the revivals from early
times TO now.
Sometimes the Christian church
has gone too far in admiration Of
this man Because his conversion
was spectacular. some have
thought mistakenly that all true
conversions are spectacular Be
cause he always thought like a
lawyer. some have thought tagain
mistakenly that all true Christian

Stain did. Stain, because he was an idol
to the average Russian was able to concen-
trate most Of the nations productivity on
war production and internationalist
schemes.
On the other hand Maenkov has no such
place in Russian hearts as yet, and il is
significant that in his first utterance he
stressed the need for satisfying material
and cultural needs of the people If this APP
praisal is an accurate one, the new Russian
Dictator may be beset with internal prob
lens to a far greater extent than was Stain
In the event of a Chinese Russian rift
the Korean War could almost certainly be
settled since with Russian aid the Chinese
would soon be at a serious disadvantage
IN continuing the war Allied diplomacy and
underground efforts should be directed to-
ward feeding the fires Of any possible Rus
slan-C hlneSe rift. This at present is the
brightest hope for Communist setback on
the world horizon.
