Production Credit came into
being 81 years ago to fill a gap
which other credit agencies were
unable to fill and which it was
necessary to fill by a system
fitted to the farmers financial
and seasonal needs. For many
years agricultural leaders had

ture, and struggled to obtain it
The urgent credit needs which
themselves during the
depression of the early thirties
necessitated immediate action if
American farmers and stockmen
were to remain in business. Pro-

and their prayers for the success

The president, in his few re.
marks, made one highly signi-
ficant statement, in which he
stated that this well was only
the beginning of a vast program
to develop, if possible, the noun
tain front area. He stated that
1t was definitely on the Company

remarks, Gov J. Hugo Aronson
was called on, and made a char
acterisically Aronson speech"
He said he was glad to be back
among his old friends and neigh

governors office at Helena. He
spoke warmly of his hopes of
great development of the oil re-

pecially the mountain front area

quate testing, and that the area
was now, at last, to get just that
kind of testing.

gram where the Indians put on
their entertainment, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

of the chiefs made short address

the indoor ceremonies in the
afternoon, where il was more

Supreme Court Ponders Whether Govt. Can Legally Fire Employees On Loyalty Grounds Based On Secret Information

WASHINGTON, R - The Su- preme Court today held the an swer to the question whether the government can legally fire an employe on loyalty grounds based on secret information
 And the court, in deciding the question, must act without know ing what information a loyalty board had against Dr. John P. Peters, professor of medicine at Yale University.
 Dr. Peters was fired in May 1853 from his job as an occasional consultant to the U. s. Public Health Service after the loyalty board found "a reasonable doubt as to his loyalty. He contended the findings were unWarranted.
 Chief Justice Warren and some of his associates indicated during two hours of arguments late yes terday that they would like to have the information on which the finding was based.
 No, said Asst Atty Gen. War ren E. Burger in effect. The law prohibits making the information public, and only presidential order could release it to the court, Burger said.
 In some instances, Burger told the court, names of FBI inform ants are not disclosed even to the loyalty board hearing a case.
 Justice Frankfurter commented that it was hard for him to see what public consideration justi- fled the government in withhold ing the names of informants from the people who sit in judgment.
 Justice Black asked whether Burger has been allowed to see the report in the Peters case. He replied he had seen part, but not all of it.
 "You are allowed to see it." said Frankfurter. il can't see why the court can't see it."

Budget Omits
Tax Increase

Alexandria City Council, in an
executive session last night. ten
tatively accepted a $7.8 million
budget for 1886 which would
carry no increase in the tax
rate.
City Manager Ira F. Willard
said today that $470, 900 had
been cut from a previous propo-
sal. This Was in line with a re-
quest by City Council which in
structed Mr.. Willard to reduce
the budget to eliminate any tax
increase.
Mr.. Wizards original budget
provided for the imposition of
Q per cent sales tax or a 10
cent increase in the real estate
tax rate to cover a deficit.
A large portion of the cut was
made in public works projects
which councilmen instructed Mr..
Willard to include in a future
bond issue. Details of the other
cuts were not released pending
official acceptance Of the budget
at a future meeting.
