| can i'll afford, particularly this year. F"
In June, Senator Murray, Senator
Mansfield and l asked Senator Mag
nuson of Washington, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce to investigate
the shortage, which each year disrupts
the economic life of the Northwest.
For two days in July, the Senate
Committee took testimony on the
problem. One of the witnesses was
Mr.. Owen Clarke, member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. He
listed these as among the factors
contributing to the car shortage: "a
heavy increase in car loadings, a re-
duction in car ownership and con-
tinuing high level of bad order cars,
series of strikes in the trucking in
dustry, the movement of old grain
from storage by the Commodity Cred
it Corporation as the new crop is be-
ing harvested, and the failure on the
part of the railroads and shippers to
efficiently utilize existing equip
ment."
"There are not enough serviceable
box cars to take care of the business
now being offered the railroads." ac-
cording to Mr.. Clarke. ''The only
remedy for the recurring shortage
is an increase in the supply of serv-
iceable cars by purchase of new
equipment"

every FALL, FREIGHT CARS, LIKE DUCKS,

By CONG. LEE METCALF

Every fall the ducks head south
So, apparently, do the freight cars
which aren't to be found when we
in Montana need them to ship cattle

Despite assurances that it won't
be, the freight car shortage has be-

age lasted longer than usual. 1t start
ed in May and steadily increased to a
peak last month and apparently is
on the way out now.
1t was worse than usual. Accord
ing to the Wall Street Journal, the
shortage amounted to almost 1000
cars during the week ended July 2
five times the shortage of the same
week year ago.
Typical of the reports that came
to us was this one from Kalispell,
where the Halvorson Equity Supply
Company repor e d: elevator

order, only received three in two
weeks, SO more to move before har-

The Minneapolis Grain Exchange
reported late last month that the
shortage in the upper Midwest was
extremely critical" Many millions

suffer substantial monetary losses
unless cars come before winter"
Mr.. G. T. Sanders of Billings, sec
rotary of the Montana Live
stock Markets Association, pointed
out that Montana stockmen again
this year faced ga very serious short
age of livestock railroad cars for the
transportation of cattle from the
market points in Montana to the des-
tination ordered by the buyers" This,
he said, ''is resulting in quite a loss

to our railroads in the belief that this
will increase the supply of freight
cars available. The Office of Defense
Mobilization, upon recommendation
of the Defense Transport Admins
tration, has granted over 81 " billion
in fast tax write-offs to Class / rail-
roads to build new freight cars.
However, in the last six years,
these same railroads have retired
more cars from service than they
have put into service. In other words,
these interest-free loans aren't even
being used to replace the cars that
are junked each year.
These railroads are making money,
some of it attributable to the tax
savings under the rapid tax write
offs. If this expensive program is to
be continued, the railroads should be

The BUTTE DAILY POST Nov. Is

able Says Gen. Kenney." He addressed
a Butte Knife and Fork Club along
those lines at the Finlen Hotel. He is
head of the Air Force. He evidently
also wants to take over the duties of
the Secretary of State, the Congress,
the President and Joe Mccarthy. His
chief purpose is to hold peoples sup
port for our artificial war economy.
If there were any truth in the generals
sales talk we should all go fast to
Mexico because as General Macarthur
publicly says we would all be de-
stroyed in day or two, along with the
Soviet Union.
Fortunately it is a canard. Syngman
Rhee, Franco, Chang Kai-shek and
Adenauer are about the only foreign
personages that agree with the gen.
eral.
The real disagreement at the present
Geneva meeting is on the Rearming
of Germany. Dulles wants to rearm
Germany.
The Soviet Union Is not going 10 let
Germany Rearm.
If referendum on this question
alone were taken in America the vote
would be to l against rearm1ng Ger
many. Mr. Dulles was once attorney
for German cartels. They treated MS
law firm we'll doubtless with princely
fees but they invaded the Soviet Union
and murdered 10 million men, women
and children. Twice, millions of Amer1-
can mothers have wept when their
gallant sons went to disarm Germany.
An ounce of craftsmanship to prevent,
is worth more than the slaughter OF
million boys to cure.
Frankly 1 agree with Bulgan1n. Ger
many must not be rearmed. Gen. Ken
ney's high powered sales talk should
be countered soberly.
The tank has made cavalry useless.
The submarine has made battlesh1ps
doubtful. The jet plane carrying hydro
gen bombs will be the only valid wea-
pons if Gen. Kenney's Knife and FORK
followers rattle the sabre enough.
Why not disband the entire 1nfan-
try, except enough to prevent Mexico
from invading Texas. Keep only enough
planes to take congressman on junk
cts. There is no more sense in Keeping
the battleships and infantry or Iand
artillery to help the munition makers
than to buy at double prices mllllon

required to actually increase the total
supply of cars.
Another way to increase the sup
ply of freight cars is to speed up the
car repair program. Mr.. Clarke told
the committee that the railroads, fear
ing a recession, cut back on the re-
pair and servicing of cars last No
vember. Apparently, this mistake has
been corrected, because the commit
tee was told that practically alP' re-
pair shops had resumed full opera
ton and that there had been SUBJ
stantial cut in the number of cars
laid up for repairs.
Recently, I am informed, the rail-
roads have placed substantial orders
for freight cars, but they are having
trouble getting the steel to build
them. Senators Murray, Mansfield
and are looking into this.

RILL1NGS-(AP)-Th Montana Demo-

said that highest price the Legislature
allows us to get for our oil lands is

Too1e, former state representative
from Toole county, also said that Dem

must present united front after the
primary if we are to be victorious in

He added, "Realizing that it is easy
to get sidetracked with minor issues,
I want to stress that we will undoubt-

Construction
Orders Boost
Steel Demand

CLEVELAND. Aug. 8 fP.-
Orders from the construction in
dustry have been instrumental
in the strengthening of demand
for steel products. Steel. the
Woodworking weekly, reported
yesterday.
The weekly said this years
steel business is practically wrap
Iped up. with order books for
some products having been closed
for the rest, of 1855 by some pro-
ducers. Some mills have only
six weeks of space left on other
products. it added,
Two price increases were cited
as proof of demand for steel
products. Phoenix Iron g. Steel
Co., of Phoenixville. Pa, raised
its price on standard and wide
f1ange structural sections $40 a
ton above its competitors prices.
Central Iron g. Steel Co., Har-
risburg, Pa, raised its price on
carbon plates $12 a ton above
that of other firms.
The construction industry is
the big taker of the products of
Phoenix and Central Steel said.
The American Institute of
Steel Construction reports June
bookings for fabricated struc-
tural steel were the highest since
April, 1861, when the Korean
war was a strong stimulant-and
the orders still are rolling in.
Another factor in the strong
outlook for the steel industry is
the air-conditioning industry
which is making itself felt as a
steel user, the magazine said.
But the steel industry is not
without its handicaps. such as
hot weather. equipment break
downs and labor troubles.
In the week ending yesterday
the Nations steel ingot produc-
ton declined three points to 90
per cent of rated capacity.
The increases Phoenix and
Central raised Steel's price COM
posite on finished steel to $127.41
a net ton, a 77-cent rise. The
magazines price composite on
steelmaking scrap was raised to
$43.l7 gross ton, highest since
August, 1858. The price a week
ago was $40.
