m ajor groceries, Safeway and
Lundy's, have signed new contracts
which the clerks consider very salts
factory. Under these new contracts
the workweek for April /, 1866 to
April 1, 1856, is cut from 48 to Al
hours. On April 1, 1856, the work
week for the succeeding year will be
10 hours. Clerks will continue to re-
ceive the same take-home pay as prior
to April 1, 1866, for the shorter work
week. Also, all work performed by
clerks after six o'clock will be paid
on a premium time basis.
Both Safeway and Lundy's are no
longer members of Helena Employ
ers' Association, repeatedly having be-
come exasperated with the tactics in
dulged in by Secretary Goza in han
ding contractual relations between
and their employers. Other
stores may soon follow the two big
grocery marts out of the association
for similar reasons.

PENNEY'S STORE BOSS DISPLAYS
DECIDEDLY ANTI-UNI0N ATTITUDE

Since expiration of the Retail
Clerks union contract with stores
IN the unions textile division April 1,
the manager of the Penney chain
store in Helena has been decidedly
anti-union, and has ordered Clerks
officials out of the store until such
time as new contract is negotiated,
according to reports given at the
Helena Trades and Labor Council
meeting Monday evening.
Apparently on advice from Sam
Goza, Jr., executive secretary of
Helena Employers Association, Pen
ney's and other stores in the textile
division have advised union officials
that, pending negotiation of new
contract, no agreement exists be-
tween them and Retail Clerks Local
684. Except in instances of employ
ers deliberately attempting to break
a union, management and labor ordl-
narily continue to operate under
terms of the expired contract, with
whatever revisions that are made re-
tractive to the expiration date.)
Because of stalling tactics and the
general attitude of representatives of
the textile employers toward negotiat-
ing new contract, Local 684 Off
cials have filed unfair labor charges
under the Taft-Hartley Act.

What | Hear
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ

According to President Ben
wi of Israel, the first man to
write a letter was Noah. He
sent out a dove and got an
olive leaf in reply telling him
the flood was over.
Think what the stamp on
that letter would be worth.
Did you know that an Is
rael Philatelic journal has a
circulation of more than TO-
600 in the United States? Is
rael stamps are the most pop
ular export of Israel in the
United States where t h ere
are, I am told, Is million
stamp collectors. 1 am furth-
er informed that soon Elm
STEMS face will be on two
stamps-one issued by Israel
and the other by the country
from which he fled, Germ
any.
The head of the American
Express Co., one of the
worlds foremost authorities
on tourism, is of the opinion
that Israel can look forward
to an increasing flood of tour
lists in the future. He says
Americans are getting a bit
fed up with Europe and they
are now beginning to spill
over into the Near East.
Israel can offer superior
hotel accommodations f o r
the tourist along with the his
tory and sights. incidentally,
work has just begun on a new
hotel, fin ance d by Israel
bonds, in the Judean Hills
surrounding Jerusalem. The
cool mountain air S h o ul d
make this hotel especially at
tractive in the summer.
Speaking of Israel as a
tourist center reminds me
that Art Buchwald, columniSt
of the New York Herald who
writes a sprightly colu m n
from Paris, was in Israel re-
Gently and delivered the fol
lowing quip:
THE difference between
Jerusalem and Paris is that
in Jerusalem everyone speaks
English and wants to show
you the sights and in Paris
no one speaks English and
they don't give a hoot about
you seeing any of the sights"
And Buchwald's e m a r k
about everyone speaking Eng
lish in Jerusalem reminds me
of my own experience.
I saw two men at work on
an automobile and asked one
of them in my halting He
brew for directions to a GER
tain place.
The fellow I addressed
turned to his comrade and
said in good Americanese:

current an t i-Semitic out
bursts to book.
The section of Warsaw
where Jews were formerly
housed is now completely de-
molished and a new suburb is
being built in its place. The
new streets no longer bear
any resemblance to those of
the former Jewish quarter.
There is nothing remaining
to remind one of the rich Jew
ish cultural life which o n C e
bloomed there.
There are no accurate StatiS-
tics on the actual number of
Jews alive in Poland but vari-
Gus estimates place it at about
10000. The greatest concentra-
ton is in Lower Silesia with
5000; Lodz and Cracow, 10,-
900; Kattowitz and Stettin, g.
900 $4,000 each, and Lublin,
where only a few families re-
main. In Kielce, scene of Po-
lands biggest postwar pro-
gram, there are none.

newspaper "Yiddish Folks

There is an exhibition in
Geneva depicting reconstruc-

striking thing about it is that
it has neither sign nor men,

This seems to confirm re-
ports trickling throu ugh to
Switzerland from behind the
Iron Curtain that the Polish
Government is doing it's best
to wipe out all traces of a
formerly rich Jewish heritage.
Are they succeeding? The
following reliable account of
the present situation of Polish
Jewry is cleaned from these
reports.
The Jewish population of
Poland, despite constant Com

has not been absorbed into
heavy industry. On the con-

L ATE SUMMER poses a
IL problem in cooking,
doesn't it? =
Appetites have grown fin-
icky and the family Is prone
to take a disdainful attitude
about food in general. Since
they haven't invented any
new foods with which to
tempt these tagging appetites,
how about trying different
combinations of the old? A
new approach, a new setting,
may be all you need to awaken
new interest in the meal hour.
With the preponderance of
good rolls at the grocery or
bakery these days, it's easy to
glamorize them into jumbo,
tempting meals in them
selves. With our man-sized
sandwiches, serve big glasses
Of cold milk and generous
slices of chilled watermelon.
Another sandwich meal
combines that popular three
some, lettuce, bacon and
tomato, but with a new twist.
Make them open-face, using
a toasted English muffin for
the base. Add a heaping
platter of corn-on-the-cob
and a fruit compete for the
sweet.
Just as there's always meat
loaf in the winter, there's
always a nodded salad to fall
back on In the summer when
you run up against the what
to-serye-that's-cool problem.
The salmon souf1le is a
make-ahead salad that can
be done from start to finish
in about an hour. As for the
ribbon loaf, it contains all the
ingredients of a full meal
chicken, cheese, vegetables
and salad.
I admit the latter is not a
loaf you can toss together in
S minutes, but it's certainly
worth the making, as you'll
discover once you've tasted it.

Christians Observe Holy Week and Easter Services
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Christians in many lands yes terday observed with prayer the end of Lent and the beginning of the Easter vigil.
 With Holy Week having risen to the climax of the Resurrection, churches opened their doors for services commemorating the hours when Christ lay in his tomb.
 Roman Catholic churches were decked with flowers as the 40-day Lenten period came to an end. The purple shrouds that covered the sacred images and altars dur ing those penitential weeks were gone.
 Families had laid in last-minute Easter bunny treats for the chill dren and had slicked up new clothes in preparation for the joy ous day ahead when Christendom celebrates in song and story, pag- cant and sermon the wondrous account of the resurrection of Christ.
 Tn Rome, thousands of pilgrims and citizens gathered at St. Pe- ter's Basilica for the Holy Satur- day High Mass. The ringing of the great bronze bells of the church, as this service reaches its "Glor- ia" annually marks for Catholics the official end of Lent.
 Services in St. Peters and oth- CT Catholic churches also included the Blessing of the Fire-celebrat- ing the Resurrection-and of the Holy Water Fonts. The latter cer- emony commemorates the ancient rites in which baptisms were per- formed on this day.
 The blessing of the fire also was observed at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, where Christ's body was placed after it was taken from the cross. Some 5000 pilgrims, many of whom braved the mo mans land" dividing warning Israel and Jor- dan, Hooked into the Arab sec tion of the city.

THE RIGHT TO WORK"

Suppose for the sake of argument that the AS states or Congress should pass laws requiring that before could work at his trade, and before an employer could hire him. he would have to join specified organ zaon pay initiation fee and regular monthly dues, and be prepared to submit to special assessments
 Do you suppose the who drafted the Declara- ton of Independence and the United States Consttu ton with it's Bill of Rights would have agreed to such restrictions?
 And yet IT states have found it necessary to pass Right to Work laws protecting mans right to earn living without joining any organization. It would that already had the Constitutional right to jon not to join without specific legislation to that effect but apparently that is not true under pres ent-day closed-ship agreements
 Labor union spokesmen have announced they are going to all their powers to repeal existing Right to Work" laws and prevent the passage of any addition al ones
 If to remain free country it is difficult to see what logical grounds they will base their oppo- sition, aside from pure self interest It is altogether possible that public respect for unions will decline result of their opposition to the fundamental principle of the Right to Work" Long ago outraged public opinion led to the passage of laws forbddng employers to blacklist union members. The current practice under which must join union or go jobess is equally indefensibe.

Russia Annuls Alliances With France x Britain

MOSCOW (by phone toLondon) R-The Soviet Council of Minis ters Saturday called on the Parlia- ment 10 annul the treaties of friendship and alliance which Russia signed with France and Britain during World War II.
 The move was in retaliation for the British and French ratifica- ton of the Paris agreements to rearm West Germany.
 The Soviet Union had threat ened to annul the treaties if the two western nations approved the pacts enlisting West German troops in western defense.
 Cancellation by the Supreme Soviet-the Parliament-was a foregone conclusion.
 The Soviet government claims the treaties are directed against Russia.
 (In Washington, the State De- partment reacted calmly to the Soviet action. The Russians had been threatening for a long time to denounce the pacts if the agreements for German rearma- ment were ratified.
 (More significance was attached by US. officials to the fact the Soviets show active interest in a Big Four meeting even though Russia had warned during the fight over the Paris accords that European agreement would be- come impossible once German re- armament was approvedD

 the one that failed to finish it's job in so days, but in the longer range view it may be cited as the first in history to put close to 200 new acts on the books.
 After the end-of- the session rush they were piled deep in the gov- ernor's office, awaiting final ac- ton. Many were of broad signifi- canoe; many were not.
 They ranged from official des- ignation of a bird and song for Alaska-for which the legislators took considerable kidding from their critics-to acts for fiscal re- organization of the government and for revision of the Employ ment Security Law.
 As a by-product of the presence of record IF attorneys in the House of Representatives, the session-both regular and special -also produced a record volume of oratory and a heavier than normal quota of Democratic crit icism of the Republican governor.
 Both at times overshadowed, in the daily reports of legislative activities, the work that was going on behind the scenes.
 Here, in review, Is a ptarmi- gan's eye view of major Iegisla- ton enacted:
 TAX INCREASES
 Taxes boosted on incomes, mo- tor fuels, per head for schools and on fishermen's licenses for filling Fishermmen's Fund); loopholes frightened in the Cigaret Tax Law; oil and gas production tax enact ed; employers tax increased by .2O percent for financing Unem- ployment Insurance Fund and a tax up to maximum of SIS year levied against workers for the first time to help finance the fund; frightened laws on tax collections generally
 BUDGET
 A record of close to 32 million dollars was appropriated, with budget-drafting legislators ex- pressing confidence the budget will be balanced by tapping a few million from the treasury surplus and predicting increased tax rev. enues may even carry the load without depicting the surplus.
 STATEHOOD
 Set a statehood convention for November at the University of Alaska and a special election in September for the selection of delegates, with an overall ap- propriation of $3OO,0OO; provided $75,000 more for the Alaska State hood Committee.
 FISCAL REORGANIZATION
 Created new Department of Finance to coordinate all finan- cial and purchasing operations, with $12,O00 a year director as "czar" of fiscal procedures; elim- mated the elective office of audi tor; provided for an auditor di- rectly responsible to the legisla- ture.
 LABOR
 Enacted a 40-hour week. S1 minimum per hour law. with many exemptions included; en- acted ESC law with provision for unemployment payments of $45 week (plus allowances for chil- dren in Alaska and $25 a week for unemployed persons going outside; enacted a new act for boiler inspections and regulations; increased worknen's compensa- tion from $75 to $1OO a week for total temporary disability and ex- tended free medical care from two to four years in such cases.
