ANCHORAGE, Alaska-Four hum

TRADES AND SERVICES
INCOME AGAIN TOP
AGRICULTURE

Total individual income in Montana
increased 3 per cent, from $1,0O9
million to S1,037 million, between
1852 and 1853, while per capita in
come stayed the same Isl, $500, as
the expansion of population equalled
the growth in total income. These
and other developments in personal
income in 1858 are discussed in the
September issue of MONTANA BUSI-
NESS, published by the Bureau of
Business and Economic Research,
Montana State University.
For the second consecutive year,
the trade and service industries dis
placed agriculture as the leading
and service income is estimated at
$3.50 million in 1858; a per cent above
1852, and equal to one-fourth of
total income payments. Agricultural
income, which has accounted for as
much as 35 per cent of total income
Tin 1948), amounted to Fl per cent
of the total, or 1921 million. The
1853 figure represents an increase
of a per cent over agricultural in
come in 1852.
Mining and manufacturing, with
increased employment and higher
wage scales, each recorded payroll
gains of 7 per cent. Government in
come payments declined l per cent
between 1852 and 1853, and con-
struction payrolls fell sharply, to II
per cent below 1862, as government
dam projects in the state were COM
pleted.
AS in 1862, wages and salaries ac-
counted for 81 per cent of total in
dividual income last year. In past
years. when agricultural income was
larger, wages and salaries amounted
to about 81 per cent of the total. Pro-
prietors' income (net income from
unincorporated businesses, including
farms and ranches) equalled % per
cent of total income, and property
income dividends, interest, net rents,
and royalties), per cent. Proprietors'
income in other postwar years has
accounted for as much as 40 per
cent of the total.
Per capita income in Montana in
1853 amounted to $1,689, compared
to $1,000 in 1862 and $1,738 in 1851.
The 1853 figure is one per cent Cor
only 500 below the national per
capita income of $1,709. Among the
IL western states, four-Nevada,
California, Washington, and Oregon
had higher per capita incomes than
Montana.

Brazi|ians Angered
By Coffee Forecast
BY the Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct.
25.-The newspaper Correio da
Mania said yesterday the semi
official Brazilian Coffee Institute
is considering asking for the re-
call. of United States Ambassa- =
dor James S. Kemper because
he had predicted a fall in coffee
prices. -.
"A spokesman for the institute
confirmed that the board would
discuss Mr.. Kemper and indi-
Gated that strong" statement
might be issued, but declined
to go so far as say that it might
ask President Joao Cafe Filho
to declare the ambassador un-
welcome here. Such a declara-
ton by the president normally
would automatically result in his
recall by the United States.
Mr.. Kemper, a Chicago insur-
ance company executive who
formerly was treasurer of the
Republican National Committee,
is now in the United States. He
was named ambassador here in
June, 1858.
Correio da Mania said insti-
tute directors and Brazilian cof-
fee growers were indignant over
statements attributed to Mr..
Kemper in a news conference in
Boston last Thursday.
The newspaper quoted him as
saying Brazil may have to re-
duce the price (of coffee per
pound) to so cents in order to
sell it,"

Court Studies Appeal
To Sentence Powell
On Contempt Charge

District Judge F. Dickinson
Let's took under advisement to-
day a plea by the Government for
him to send Clyde L. Powell,
ousted Government official, to
Jail for criminal contempt of
court.
United States Attorney Max
H. Goldschein asked the court
to, impose such a sentence as
would deter not only Mr.. Powell
bat others who come before the
special grand jury investigating
alleged housing scandals from
refusing to answer questions.
Mr.. Powell was formerly as
sistant commissioner of the Fed
eral Housing Administration in
charge Of that agency's program
for fostering the construction of
rental housing. He was ousted
last April.
Entitled to Protection.
His attorney, Daniel B. Maher.
argued before the court that
Mr.. Powell had substantially
answered the questions put to
him and, secondly. was entitled
to the protection of the fifth
amendment against self -incrim-
1nation which he had invoked.
The case before Judge Let's
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia was a
trial of Mr.. Powell on the basis
OF a presentment by the grand
jury which had accused him of
being in contempt. The trial
itself consisted merely of intro
ducing transcripts of grand jury
records.
These records showed that the
issue revolved around Mr.. Pow
ellis answers to questions about
his official diaries or desk calen-
dar pads.
Mr.. Powell told the grand jury
he kept no official diary. He was
quoted as saying, II had a CAL
endar on my desk on which I
kept appointments" He also
said he removed nothing from
his office except personal papers
and personal belongings and did
not take calendar pads.
Instructed to Answer.
On October II, Judge Let's
instructed him to answer the
questions and before the grand
jury again he pleaded the fifth
amendment.
Mr.. Maher argued that the
Government had to prove that
such calendar pads were "ofh-
cial diaries" which the law re-
quired to be kept.
When Mr.. Powell was before
Judge Let's for the first time on
October 6, Mr.. Maher said, the
court directed him to answer one
question about the official diaries
and Mr.. Powell did so.
Mr.. Maher said that at the
October II appearance before
Judge Let's, Mr.. Powell was di-
rected to answer nine questions
concerning the diaries for the
different years. The attorney said
the questions put to Mr.. Powell
later in the grand jury room
were not the same as had been
specified in court.
Il do not believe a man can
be convicted when the court
orders him to answer one ques-
ton and the attorney asks an
other or modifles it," Mr.. Maher
said.
Filed in court was an affidavit
by Mr.. Powell alluding to state
ments made to him when he was
dismissed and others made pub
licly about investigations of
himself and the FILA as reason
for his being apprehensive and
for him claiming his constitu-
tional prerogative.
Mr.. Maher summed up by
saying, IF ever a witness had
reason to be apprehensive, it is
this witness, against whom the
whole force of the Government

Head Of Pennsylvania
Asks j. ). 10 Return
Tax Money 10 Rails
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25. -
James M. Symes, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, said
today the Nations railroads are
not now prepared for war under
"the present pattern of regula-
tions, taxation and subsidized
competition"
He suggested the Government
should return to the Nations
railroads the 8 per cent tax on
freight transportation and the
10 per cent tax on passenger
transportationS.
This money, under Mr.. Symes'
plan, would be matched dollar
for dollar by the rail lines and
the combined funds be ear
marked for roadway mainten-
ance.
Speaking before the annual
meeting of the National Defense
Transportation Association Mr..
Synes warned against gambling
our defense" and made eight
recommendations to the Presi-
dents Cabinet Committee on
Transportation.
Seen Too Weak to Rally.
Mr.. Symes said:
The present pattern of regu-
lation,r taxation, subsidized COM
petition and restriction of the
railroads efforts to meet COM
petition, are fast bringing this
admittedly weak segment of our
economic system-and admit
tedly essential link for national
defense-to a point from which
the railroads could not, as they
did in World War II, return
quickly to full strength and
vigor as the transportation work
horse of national defense.
"All Of. know that without
adequate transportation there
cannot be an adequate defense
program. It would be extremely
unfortunate if industrial output,
under wartime conditions, was
curtailed due to lack of trans
port"
Mr.. Symes said the transporta-
ton situation in this country has
been recognized at the top level
by the recent appointment of the
Presidents Cabinet Committee.
Files Suggestions.
He suggested these eight ac-
tions:
1. Return the equivalent of 3
per cent tax on freight trans
portation and the 10 per cent
tax on passenger transportation
to railroads with the require
ments that they match it and
earmark the combined funds
for roadway maintenance.
2. Enact legislation along the
lines of the Hobbs Truman Act
concerning navigable streams,
so that railroads would be called
on to pay for only the benefits
actually received in grade cross
ing separations. Additionally,

bridges and protection at rail-
