The cash price of No. 1 dark hard
winter wheat of less than IL per
cent protein averaged 80 cents per
bushel less than the loan rate at
Great Falls last August. This may
happen this year and that 80 cent
difference will pay the full con-
struction cost of certain kinds of
storage bins.
-. Bruce Brooks, agricultural
economics department.
This is the time of year when
there usually is a campaign to sell
new" seed wheat and some farmers
will buy regardless of price. This
"new" wheat is generally not as
good as the wheats already grown.
The Montana Agricultural Expert
ment station and its branches have
tested practically every one of these
new wheats. Farmers can check
each of these "new" wheats through
their local county agents or any
experiment station in Montana.

Here is very good reason for
taking care of grass: If the entire

most life on this earth would starve

Cases of black leg have been seen
in every month of the year and

Policeman Suspended For IS Days
AS Result Of Alleged Bar Braw|
Patrolman John Linehan'

Patrolman John Linehan-
was handed a 15-day suspen-
sion yesterday by Police
Chief Raymond Cabrera as
a result of an incident in
which he was repeatedly
beaten and slashed in a bar
room brawl last week.
Cabrera said that the sus-
pension was made effective
yesterday afternoon and
that formal charges will be
filed shortly. Under the law,
Linehan is entitled to a hear
ing before the Civil Service
Board to answer the charges.
The incident came to light
yesterday when City Com
missioner Louis Carbonell
issued a statement in which
he told of six reports he had
received of the alleged i'm
proper conduct of the offic-
err. L n h a n repeatedly
threatened bystanders with
a pistol after he was beaten
in the colored section of the
city.
CarbonelI was also quoted as
saying that no report was made
of the incident to the police chief.
But today, City Commissioner
Paul r. Roberts questioned the
accuracy of Carbonells allegation
that no report was made. He added
that 81 think the police depart
ment is running smoother than it
ever has in the past"
Roberts Tells Of Report
Roberts said that he knew per-
sonally that a report was submit
ted.
Roberts conferred this morning
with the police chief. Chief Cabrera
said that he had received a re-
port that Linehan had phoned
police headquarters that he was
sick and unable to appear for
duty on the night the alleged Incl
dent occurred, but that he knew
nothing of any fight that he may
have been engaged in.
Chief Cabrera said that when
Linehan reported sick, Officer
Bienvenido Perez was dispatched
to check on the authenticity OF

TRAFFIC BOX SCORE.

Key West was accident-free
Tuesday.
But the daily Traffic Box
Score shows that the total num-
Der of accidents has increased
one since an accident which oc-
CURED March % was just re-
ported today. Fifty dollars in
damage was caused in that
mishap, sending the total of the
year to S38,O53-43 per cent of
the 1853 total.
The law states that all acct
dents must be investigated. Po-
lice officials say that the proper
procedure when an accident oc-
ours is to call police to the scene
to investigate.
The officer then prepares a re-
port of the mishap, in duplicate.
One copy of his report remains
in city files and the other is sent
to the Department of Public
Safety in Tallahassee.
The local reports serve as a
useful source of data for your
city officials in planning a safer

1.-THE trouble is nobody back with
the fleet is going to believe it,"
Sgt. Victor R. Fiabane of New
York City, mourned today.
Film star Ava, looking beautiful
in low-cut red and white cocktail
dress, took the three Marines to a
glittering movie party celebrating
the completion of her latest pic
ture. Then she was hostess to them
at dinner and a smart night club.
Fiabane, Sgt. John T. Morrisey,
Libertytown, Nd, and Sgt. Billy
Lewis, San Francisco, went sight
seeing in Rome yesterday on three
day passes from 9Th Fleet units in
port at Naples. Fiabane told what
happened:
1--WE were walking up toward a
castle for a look when this fellow
started talking to us who said he
had been a Marine captain. He
was real nice. His name was Lee
Cameron.
HE took us up to his office and
gave US free passes to a movie and
while we were there he had to call
Ava on a business thing. He men,
tened he had three Marines with
nothing to do and she said to bring
us to her party as her guests. So
we went with her and her sister,
Beatrice.
well, we really had a wonderful
time. She was real sincere and
really nice"
Ava had a good time, too. She
didn't leave her guests for home
until well after midnight.
1t wasn't a publicity stunt-her
producers here didn't even know
about it and the Marines told their
story only after a reporter at the
same club asked how they hap
pened to be with Miss Gardner.
What made the Marines happiest
was that photographers snapped

The motel men spanked the drive
to construct the pier for use of the

The pier, located on a portion
of the city-owned Clyde-Mallory
Docks, has been improved by city
workmen with the construction of
a railing and benches for the COM

This morning, a survey of the
pier showed several fishermen ex-

hope will win the prize for them.

State Superintendent Bailey Tells
Improvement Of Fla. School System
S2O2.54 Is Spent
For Each Monroe
Pupil annually
BY DENIS SNEICR

Parents and others who
failed to turn out at the high
school last night missed a
really fine, informative talk.
They would have learned
a lot about their school sys-
tenn from Thomas D. Bailey,
state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
In my opinion, Bailey can
lick any politician at the
politicians principal game
talking. Besides Bailey had
something to say.
The most impressive fact
brought out by Bailey was the i'm
provement in the states school
system since 1947.
In 1916, Florida ranked 47th III
the nation in public education.
THANK God for Mississippi"
Bailey smiled.
Today, he said, Florida has the
most complete state education pro-
gram of any state in the union.
Monroe Ranks High
And Monroe County. he pointed
out, is right up at the top in the
amount of money spent per child
each year.
The state average per child, he
said, is $201.56. For each Monroe
County student, he added, $2O2.54
is spent each year.
"You have every right to be
proud of your school SYSTEM" he
told his audience.
Bailey told how, beginning in 1945.
the Citizens Committee on Educa-
ton made twO-year study of pub
&c education in Florida.
'They found, :" he said, our
schools in a financial crisis and
facing complete breakdown. There
were thousands of unqualified
teachers in our schools teaching
our children. In 1916 only 63 per
cent of the teachers were four
year college graduates"
Former Low Salaries
He went on to say that teacher
salaries were so low that competent
teachers couldn't be employed.
I'm many cases." he added,
1--WE were fortunate just to have a
teacher in the class, regardless of
his or her qualifications or train
ing"
School buildings were in de-
plorable condition, he said, and
claSSroomS were overcrOwded.
Many thousands of children
weren't even taught in clasSrOOmS,
but in auditoriums, lunchroOms,
easements, cellars and old chur-
ches," he said
Florida, he went on, was spend
ing only $102 per child for educa-
ton, 70 per cent below the national
average.
All Counties Equal

Dolores Is Weary After
Trip But She Can See
Baby Reaches Out
For Toys. Cries
At Flash Bulb
BY SUE JONES

Little Dolores was tired
and sleepy this morning =
: but she can see! She was on
her tummy on the couch in
the living room of her par
snt's home at 737 Love Lane,
when she saw her pacifier
and Immediately reached for
It.
Later when her mother
was looking for a pair of
socks in the baby's diaper
bag, Dolores spotted a rattle
and put her chubby little
hand down inside the bag
and tugged at the toy until
she got it out.
A month ago she just blinked
when her picture was made-thiS
morning the light IRON the flash
bulb made her cry.
She had good reason to be fussy.
She didn't get home until 1890
last night, and she has cold on
top of everything else. But after
q few days rest and some sunshine,
Dolores should be as healthy as
ever.
No Definite Statement
Her mother said the New York
specialist who operated on both
Of Dolores eyes wouldn't make
any definite statement of Dolores
chances for normal eyesight until
after he sees her in four months.
She will have to go back to New
York in July and the doctor will
make a thorough examination at
that time.
Mrs. Disgdiertt said they "were
so happy to be home again, and
so grateful to everyone who help
ed us take the baby to New York.
You can see the difference in her
eyes,, and if it hadn't been for
your help, our baby wouldn't have
had this chance to see."
Brothers Are Reluctant
Dolores "big" brothers, Mickey,
four and a half, and James, who
is just two and half, came in
and gravely inspected their visit
orS, but when they saw the camera,
they disappeared into another room
and wouldn't come out.
BY this time Dolores was hungry
as well as sleepy, and her mother
fixed her bottle. Mrs. Disgdiertt
said one thing she "missed in New
York was a rocking chair. They
don't have rocking chairs up
there"
One of the questions Mrs. Disg-
diertt was asked to answer on the
Strike 1t Rich TV program was
''Money is the root of all -
Mrs. Disgdiertt answered "evil,"
but she said she didn't believe
that any more" She spelled "Tor-
onto" correctly and identified the
song, "Oh, My Papa"
She said, Everyone was so nice
to us. The people at the doctors
Office, cab drivers, at the TV sta
ton, and every where we went"
Jack Levine, The Citizens spec
nal correspondent, took the family
to the plane in New York yester-
day morning and they were met
at the airport in Miami by Deputy
Sheriff Sidney Curry and driven
to Key West in County Patrol
car. They arrived home at about
1880 last night.
