ness. Here, the signals from
the house itself will come to
your aid.
One important area to look
at is the roof. If it has asphalt
shingles. it win very probably
last a shorter time than If it
has asbestos cement shingles
or If it is made of slate or tile.
If it is made of. asbestos
cement shingles, it probably
has a lifespan of IS to 80
years. while a slate or tile roof
should last so years.
A good look at the roof
from the attic or other OPEN
ing will help to answer this
question. While you're look
ing, check on cutters and
general condition.

it rolls all over the place, it
will indicate that the floor has
settled somewhere, and that
may mean trouble.
Most floors have a little
slope. but if the marble rolls
considerably. you'd better get
expert advice. It may show
that the framework of the
house is not sound.
Another quick insight is of
fered by the electric outlet
test. In a well-designed elec-
trical system. the bedroom of
a fairly new house should have
an average of four to five out
let's, depending on its size. If
there are three to four outlets,
it's mediumly well provided
for; if only two or three you
probably will find that num-
Der to be inadequate.

uSable.
This is by no means an ALL
Inclusive list of things to look
for. but a house that passes
these tests with a good grade
may be well constructed
throughout.
If you're thinking of con-
verting the attic into bed
rooms. or using it for heavy
storage. be sure it will serve
that purpose. Many houses
have attics to which there is
access. but, which were not
designed to carry any heavy
load.
Consider the floors. for re-
finishing may have to be in
cluded in the budget.

"The proposed new Atomic Energy
Act not only permits licensing of the
limited few who have the know-how
to handle atoms to produce electric
ity; it gives them the opportunity of
patenting processes by which the pub
licly-owned nuclear material can be
used as fuel for generators" he de-
clared
"The power Of the atom has been
harnessed through the expenditure of
between SO billion and $12 billion
of American taxpayers money. 1t
is as much a part of the public do
main as water power sites. 1t is an
asset belonging to the people. We
must not give it away"
Declaring that he favors private
licenses to use atomic materials to
generate power, if proper safeguards
are provided as in the case of hydro
electric energy, Senator Murray said:
II am not in favor of the Govern
ment permitting the private COM
panies to patent some final step in
the process of generating electric
power with nuclear energy, and there
bv gain control of the whole process.
1--WE should provide that the Gov
eminent continue the development of
processes for using nuclear materials
to make electricity, and further pro-
vide that when such processes are
feasible, that an appropriate Govern
ment agency will build generators
and supply Government customers
the rural electric co-operatives, mu-
nipalities, the industries located on
government lines, and others-with |
the power they need.
"The Federal Government should

produce power from this great new
energy resource just as it produces
power from the Columbia River,
the Tennessee, the Missouri, and
other great streams"
Recalling that until 1901 there was
no regulation of use of water power
sites, Senator Murray recounted that
a committee of Congress in 1916
called this criminal neglect"

not terminal neglect of the peoples

program is not used to exploit and

contribute to a growing economy,
a stronger and healthier nation,
and a more abundant life.
"This measure should be recommit-
ted for at least another full year of
study"
Senator Murray called for a full
report on the probable social, eco
nomic, and political consequences of
commercial atomic energy as re-
quired by Section 7-B of the present
atomic energy law, pointing out that
this report has never been filed as

'Chieken Feed, Ii Gas II
Truckers Solution For Ro

Monday was one in series being held
to hear the views of Montana's varied
interests on how to raise enough reve-
nue. in the state to match federal
funds for highway construction, and
provided the chance for farm, labor
and trucking interests to have their
say. The committee said chat at a
later date they would interview oil
interests in view of the proposal that
has been suggested to tax petroleum
products sold in the state.
A very small representation ap-
peared in the interests of farm and
labor at the meeting Monday. Rich
ard Shipman of the Montana Farmers
Union spoke for his organization AMI
was the only representative from
farmers. Edward Doan appeared for
the Public Employees end Ernest Sal
vas for the Mine Mill Union. They
were the only two representatives of
labor.
The truckers came en- masse with
delegation of about IA to speak for
their industry and protect their in
terests. Their delegation included
Robert B. Lytell, general counsel,
Consolidated Freightways, Inc. Port
land, Oregon; Albert w. Greiner, re-
search engineer, Western Highway In
stitute, San Francisco, California,
and Jess N. Rosenberg, general coun-
sci, Western Highway Institute, San
Francisco, as supplement to the local
truckers.
The Governors committee has be-
fore it a number of suggested courses

Changes Made In Loan
Facility Program

Changes in the farm storage facil-
ity loan program which has been
extended through June 80, 1856, have
been announced from the State Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton office. The program, insti-
tuted in 1949, provides direct loans
and insures loans through lending
agencies to farmers for the construc-
ton or purchase of on-farm grain
storage facilities.
One change provides that the serv-
ice fee on loans will be per cent of
the amount of the loan with mini
mum fee of S.. Previously the fee
was based on the bushel capacity of
the structure. Another change sets
the maximum amount of loan at 80
per cent of the cost incurred and re-
moves the previous limitation of 45c
per bushel capacity. There is also
new provision that loans for more
than $4,000 must be approved by the
State ASC Committee.
Details regarding the loans pro-
gram and forms to be used in apply
ing for loan are available at all
county ASC offices.

Extremely light voting, climaxing
one of the most quiet primary cam
paigns in recent Montana history,
saw Senator James E. Murray and
Congressman Lee Metcalf renomi-
mated by wide margins over their
opponents. Pondera Senator Leroy
Anderson easily won the nomination
by a several thousand vote plurality
over his nearest opponent, and Asso-
ciate Justice R. V. Bottomly led in
his bid for denomination on the non
partisan judicial ballot by six thou
sand vote edge over his nearest rival.
For Railroad Commissioner, incum-
bent Austin Middleton, although
garnering only 81 per cent of the
Democratic primary total vote for
that office, led over his nearest COM

Nearly all the milk coming into
Minneapolis and St. Paul comes
through farmers marketing co-ops
Twin City dairies are able to pay the
farmers somewhat more than dairy
men do in other cities because coop
control laboratories insure a uniform
raw product for the Twin Cities.
Then the customer gets a break
through Frank lin Cooperative
Creamery Association. Franklin is
owned by its customers. It's the larg-
est milk distributor in the Twin Cities.
Organized by labor union members
more than 20 years ago, it's strong

cording to USDA figures, milk sells

that an organization saying it rep

Shipman referred to the Farm Bu-

Furthermore, the Administration

truckers proposals for raising high

meeting of the Governors Interim
Committee on Highway financing.
lie made the statement after the
trucking interests had presented their
three proposals for solving the high
way financing problem which were,
an Anti Diversion law, no more money
from highway funds for advertising
the state and enforcement of the
existing laws. Said Martin, "The
money under discussion here is chick
en- feed compared to what we are
going to have to raise"
T. M. Babcock, owner of the Bah
cock and Lee truck lines, Miles City
and Billings, and State Representa-
tive from Custer county in 1853,
speaking for the trucking interests,
told the Governors committee that
the truckers recommend:
/. An Anti Diversion law that would
channel the one half of one per cent
that goes to the Railroad and Public
Service Commission into highway
funds and that would prevent future
monies paid by truckers from going
for other than highway use.
?. Monies that are being spent on
advertising Montana to come from
other than highway funds.
3. Enforcement of existing laws.
George Schotte, chairman OF tho
Governors committee, reminded the
truckers that their suggestions could
not raise enough revenue to do the
Job Cat least 3 million dollarsJ and
asked truckers if they had any other
to present.
