LET Not Thy Right
Hand Know

MINNEAPOLIS- (CNS) The top
officer of one farm machinery COM
pany doesn't want two other machin-
cry firms to merge-and he may own
enough of his competitors stock to
prevent it.
E. S. Reddig, chairman of Mime
apolis-Moline, revealed this unusual
situation when he publicly opposed
the merger of ]. l. Case with American
Tractor Company, November Z. Reddig
said he owns "a substantial block" of
Case shares and is working with 9th
ers who have more than 10000 Case
shares.
Is Reddig, the chairman of Mime
apolis-Moline, prepared to compete for
the business of Reddig, a substantial
stakeholder in ]. l. Case, whether or
not the merger is consummated?

WHO WAS MR.. LENTZ KIDDING?
In spite of the halo Mr.. Lentz had
attempted to place above the head of
the industry, the IS months investiga-
ton that followed failed to bear out
his numerous assertions before the
legislative body. In fact, point by
point, evidence was taken by MTG
which was in direct contradiction of
the four major assertions by Mr. Lentz.
In short. the commission found that
lessees had all the responsibilities OF
small businessmen, but none of the
privileges of being Independent opera

One day after the elections, the
U. S. ChiIdren's Bureau announced
it will establish a committee to

legislation in the last Congress said,
we find in industrial areas as well,
persistent and chronic unemployment
due to such things as:
l. Coal mines closing down with
the change in the fuel habits of the

2. The use of synthetics opening

Mics CONCLUSIONS
Here are the conclusions reached
by the trade commission in it's pre-
liminary report following a year and
a half of holding hearings, questioning
representatives of the majors, dis
tributors, retailers, etc.:
Something is drastically wrong
with the price of gasoline in Montana.
"This investigation has shown that
a few major oil companies effective
Iy control every phase of the oil
industry. The economic term for this
type of control is Oligopoy. The

Larson, Benfz,
Overlooked In
Legislative List

Last week in the rush to get a com
pilation of the names of the member
ship of the 1857 Legislature, two leg
islators were inadvertently left out.
One of these was Sen. Glenn Lar
son (R-Sanders), 1855 Senate majority
leader, and c. c. Bentz CR-Carter),
who served his first term in the House
in 1855.
At least two races continue in doubt,
and await announcement of official
canvass results for determination Of
outcome One of these is for the House
seat in saltwater county where Jake
Frank CD, holds a 2-vote lead over
Rep. John Leuthold (R), according to
unofficial tally of votes. The other is
in Golden Valley county where Rep.
William J. Nelson CD holds a 3-vote
lead over ex-Rep. Dan Corcoran (R).
Nelson and Corcoran have been run

lative honors split about even between

too late to assist Rep. Lee Schumacher

In preparing the report, Vance
noted that when the Schumacher bill
was before the Legislature the Petrol
cum Industries Committee, represent
ing various major oil companies, sent
COntinental's j. A. Lentz in to speak
in opposition to the bill.
Lentz, it will be recalled, created

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY RoUsON
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

The word DATA is the cause
of much speculation among my
readers. How is the word pro-
|nounced? Is data singular or
plural?
First the pronunciation. The
first choice of all dictionaries,
and the only choice of some, is:
'DAY-tuh. 1t is the pronuncia-
ton which I recommend.
Strictly speaking, data is plu-
raj. Datum is the singular, but
it is seldom heard except in
learned discourse. In Standard
American data is customarily
used as both singular and plural,
as, this data is; these data are.
Watch the word PRONUNCIA-
TON. The second syllable is
num-" not noun" Say: pro-
NUN-see-AY-S hun.
There are two schools of
thought on the correct" pro-
nunciation of the word BUOY.
One holds that only hoy" is cor
rect; the other recognizes only
"BOO-ee." AS far as the die
tionaries are concerned. it's a
toss-up. All list boy" and
BOOZE" Some list hoy" as
first choice: others give prefer
ence to BOOZE"
When a girl makes her formal
entrance into society, does she
make her "DAY-bew, day.
DEB-yoo," or "deb-YOO"? The
word debut is from the French
Its literal meaning is "the first
throw or stroke in a game; a
lead or beginning" 1t stems in
the French but, "a mark. target
aim, object"
In American usage, debut is
most frequently a society" word
and it usually is pronounced
day-BEW: or: DAY-bew. I am
inclined to the belief that DAY
bew prevails, although some OF
our dictionaries have yet tc
sanction it.

conventions. when they help

The ADA proposed this word
ing:
Should the delegates at the
convention advocate provisions
in the party platform and sup
port nominees favoring:
"a. Full Federal protection
iof voting rights and equal
economic opportunity for all
citizens. regardless of race, and
withholding of Federal school
aid to States which refuse to
take steps to end segregation in
public schools?
"B. Home rule and national
representation for the District
Iof Columbia?
&C. Granting to all persons
subject to security proceedings
the right to face their accusers
and removing non-sensitive jobs
from the security programs
coverage?"
Wheeler in Favor
Democratic Chairman Wheeler
said he favors including these
questions on the ballot, but said
he spoke as one individual and
the decision would be up to the
entire committee.
Republican Chairman Hart
termed the ADA proposals a
publicity stunt. He said he didn't
think his party would give any
consideration to the ideas Of
Joseph L. Rauh, jr., national
president of ADA.
Perhaps they have done this
to take some of the heat of
Rauh for the miserable showing
he made in the Hughes trial in
New York. They would do better
to clean up the mess they've got
themselves in" he said.
The local political committees
are confronted with. the practi-
cal problem of how much to put
on their ballots.
The ballots will be long. to be-
| gin with, for the Democrats are
going to fill 81 Offices and the
Republicans 80. There will be as
many names to choose from as.
there are candidates for these
Offices.
! Each question added to the
ballot will string it out that much
more. So the committees must
decide how far to go, how much
the first-time voters will be able
to digest when they go to the
polls.
