Mrs. Hellman Appeals For
Help In Securing Lower
Bail For Husband
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
AS you undoubtedly know my hus-
band, John Hellman, was arrested last
Thursday under the Communist Party
Membership section of the Smith Act.
He was taken from his home like a
common criminal-in handouts.
Yet he committed not one criminal
act. Nowhere in the indictment does it
state that he committed any act
He was arrested only for possessing
ideas and for expressing his ideas.
The First Amendment to the Consti-
tuition says that Congress shall make
no law abridging freedom of thought,
speech or assembly.
Yet he was arrested because he
thought, spoke and assembled.
Who wanted to see John in jail? The
people of Montana? Did they want to
see him jailed because he wanted our
State to have an adequate industrial
disease law with payments to be made
by the employer responsible instead
of the taxpayers? Or because he wanted
to see democracy at work by register
ing people to vote? Or because as can
didate for the Railroad and Public
Service Commission he campaigned for
lower utility rates? Or because he
wanted to see the world live in peace
and good fellowship?
No, it's not the people of Montana
that want to see John in jail.
L say it's the Company that wants
his voice stilled. It's the Company that
has to pay if proper industrial disease
law was on the books. It's the people
that gain and the Company that loses
by having lower utility rates. The
Company can lose it's spokesman in
public office If working people are
registered to vote. And it's during war
time that the Company makes it's most
fabulous profits.
l also say that the Republicans want
to see John in jail. Instead of cam
paigning on the true issues facing the
people, they'll use the Red smear in
the 1856 elections.
The Eighth Amendment to the Con-
stitution says that excessive bail shall
not be required. Y ct bail was set at
the impossible sum of $4,000.
1t is only fair that John be given the
opportunity to prepare for his trial
This he cannot do while he remains in
Jail.
I'm appealing to all fair minded peo-
pie to write to Federal Judge w. ID.
Murray, Federal Bldg, Butte, Mont,
urging that this excessive bail be re-
duced. Sincerely yours.-MRS. MILLY
HELLMAN, Butte.

NV "Two-Bits Worth"

CONTINUED From Last Week-Part ID
So if this boasted free enterprise is
carried on by payment from the con-
sumner in the final analysis, why should
not the consumer, through his payment
of taxes, build the plants in the first
place and be the eventual owner under
the public administration? Thus elimi-
mating some stratospheric salaries,
bonuses, and dividends on some often
throughly watered stock.
The point / make here is that the
consumer pays all the taxes, the cost
of operation, stratospheric salaries and
dividends and even after the private
enterprise plant is entirely paid for
the consumer has no share in it but
may continue paying these expenses
to the end of his days, whereas under
public or cooperative operation the
consumer (citizen) becomes the owner
eventually and pays only the cost of
operation and maintenance.
Do not misunderstood me- [ have no
quarrel with large corporations simply
because of their size. On the contrary
the larger they are the better. There
should be only one large corporation
in Montana. The State of Montana with
every citizen a stakeholder. Also one
corporation in the u. S. (The U. S. Al

nancial, as well as economic and moral

which many people think is wasted
money. This money could all be spent
at home, in river flood control for the
benefit of many communities through
out the land. Storage reservoirs could
be made on many of the rivers to take
care of the flood waters, as needed.
Many of the film flam dams built have
been more of a menace instead of a
help, because of faulty constructions
Most flood damage comes from bursting
dams that could not stand up.
A weak, or faulty dam is worse than
no dam at all, and is a constant threat
A reservoir, to be of any help in flood
season, should be kept nearly empty
at the beginning of the flood season.
so as to be able to hold back big
part of the flood; otherwise a full
reservoir would be of no help at all.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is
sample of what rivers can accomplish,
when fully utilized; the Missouri is
a sample of what trouble and expense
some can be when not so managed

Margin Cut Likely
From 81, However
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Star STAFF Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.--
Notwithstanding De ocratic
claims. Pennsylvania seems likely
to land in the Eisenhower column
on election day.
Mr.. Eisenhower carried the
Keystone State four years ago
with a lead over Adlai Stevenson
of 269.520 votes. In that election,
Mr.. Stevenson took Philadelphia
by 10000, surprising margin
considering the way the rest OF
the State was going. However,
this Democratic victory in Phila-
delphia followed the 1851 over
throw of the Republicans. who
were completely routed. A long
needed reform of the city govern
ment was responsible. The feel
ing agaist the G. o. P. carried
over into the 1852 election.
Doubts Stevenson Victory
Today. while some of the DEM
ocratic leaders publicly predict
that they will carry the city OF
Philadelphia by as much as 300
900 votes, they would be most
happy if they could get the same
margin they had in 1852. Pri-
vately, the estimate of one Of
them is that the Democratic lead
here November 6 will be from
100000 to 10000.
This same Democratic leader
frankly said he doubted that Mr.
Stevenson can win this State. He
thought that Mr.. Eisenhower'S
margin of victory would be cut
