Army, was indicated. Mr.. Fos-
ter, a former longtime District
resident, was fired from his non
sensitive job as a maintenance
carpenter at Fort Lawton, WASH,
in 1853, on charges of alleged
Communist associations.
Mr.. Hynning, who also repre-
sents Mr.. Foster, said that Ger
aid Morgan, White House legal
adviser, had written, in answer
to a request that he look into the
case, as follows:
II am sure you will receive an

Meanwhile Representative
Rees, Republican of Kansas, pre-
pared for introduction today a
bill to provide a new loyalty pro-
gram for all Federal employees.
Mr.. Rees said in an accom-
panying statement the bill
meets the issues" raised by last
weeks court decision.
Mr.. Rees said his bill would
set up loyalty determination pro-
cedures for all Federal positions.
1t would not repeal the law un-
der which the present security
program is administered, but Mr..
Rees said this statute would
"henceforth apply only to Sc
curity-suitability cases and not
to loyalty"
The bill would require loyalty
investigations Of prospective en-
|ployes. The system would be adj
ministered by a three-member
loyalty board appointed by the
President.

a slight reduction in their an

tends that this would be too

law allows employees swith 80

explained, fares would have to be

not economically possible.

District officials, however, were

have offered special tax conces-

Correlation of Vast Weather, CROP Data
By RAY ONION, Ropimg Reporter

A DRYLAND FARMER can mini
mize his risks by planting approved va
rieties, using proper tillage methods
and by applying fertilizer, insecticides
and herbicides. But the success or
failure of his crop still depends largely
on the weather-adequate soil moisture
at planting time, sufficient rainfall dur
ing the growing season and hot. dry
weather at harvest.
What can the grain grower do about
the weather besides talk about it? At
present, nothing. And it's unlikely that
ne ever will have the means to con-
troll the weather. R. A. Dightman.
head of the us. Weather Bureau in
Helena, says that even if science deveI-
ops means to deliver specific weather
conditions on order, it could have I'M
desirable aspects.
VINO, he asks, would be empowered
with the authority to control the wealth

man than to disburse a rain cloud 81

In the first place, just a good summer
shower. If such were the case live
stock growers would have been de-

Idle Speculation

tlcal to accept weather conditions as

steady drizzles that soaked deep into
the root zone?
With incomplete records, we can onIv
speculate. When the researchers at
Montana State College compile all the
weather and crop data they will be able
to determine the correlation between
specific moisture and temperature con-
ditionS and management practices with
the resulting yield. And by tabulating
daily weather data through the entire
history of reporting station, the re-
SearcherS will be able to determine the
likelihood of certain moisture and tenn
perature conditions existing in the fu-
ture.

nitude would, of course, be out of the
question if it wasn't for calculating

The weather data for these stations
go back for an average of 40 wears
which means it will take over 200 600

Weather Bureau, that promises to pro-
vide dryland farmers in certain areas
OF Montana with weather and crop in

for them to assess the risks on the basis
of Genealogical probabilities. The

at Huntley from 1913 to 1851. This crop
Information is being correlated with
weather data recorded over the years
at the several experiment stations.
A person has only to look at the
weather bureaus yearly summaries
and the records of crop yields to get
an appreciation of the great number
OF variables involved in trying to es-
tablish a relationship between weather
and yields.
AS every farmer knows, there is lit
tie relationship between total precipita-
ton for a given year and average WELD
per acre. In 1921 the Havre weather
station recorded 1903 inches of precip-
ltatlon. The spring wheat yield for Hill
county that year averaged only five
bushels per acre and winter wheat
yields were IL bushels. In 1913. 9.41
inches of precipitation were recorded
at Havre, but spring wheat Yields for
the county averaged 11.O6 bushels and
winter wheat yields were Is bushels
per acre. The yield figures are for
acres harvested, not acres planted

what are some of the reasons that
might have caused so wide a variation
in yield? In 1921 there was PSI inches
OF moisture in July. Perhaps it all fell
within a period of a couple of hours
Maybe some of the moisture came in
the form of hail. Did the july rain
fall occur on the first of the month and
the II inches recorded in August fall
after harvest? Did better tillage meth

Truckers Call For Care And Patience
To Avoid Pre- Holiday Traffic Accidents

To avoid the tragedy of traffic
accidents the Ohio Trucking associa-
ton this week urged drivers and
pedestrians alike to exercise care and
patience during the pre-C Christmas
rush.
Nobody wants to see a repetition
of the 609 highway deaths which
occurred over 1855 three-day Christ
mas weekend" declared Mr.. P. ].
Rooney, Chairman of the Ohio Council
of Safety Supervisors of the Ohio
Trucking Association. "Yet, with
Christmas falling on Tuesday and
with many likely to make it a four
day holiday, there is every likelihood
that this Christmas will be even dead
lier than the last on the highway
unless every driver and pedestrian
exerts his utmost efforts towards
being safe"
Mr. Rooney stated that study of
last years holiday deaths showed that
speed too fast for existing conditions
or in excess of posted speed limit
was a factor in IS per cent of the
cases. This figure is very nearly
triple the percentage of traffic deaths
normally attributed to excessive
speed. Mr.. Rooney explained that
normally about 35 per cent of traffic
deaths are attributable to that cause.
Drinking drivers were reported in
volved in 55 per cent of the fatal
accidents over the 1855 Christmas
weekend" MIR. Rooney said, indicat-
ing that this is another major problem
in. highway safety over holiday per-
iods.
To hold down accidents, Mr.. Rooney
suggested adherence to these rules
For drivers
1. Stay alert. Don't let your mind
become SO pre-occupied with holiday
plans that you fail to notice traffic
hazards.
2. Reduce your speed after dark.
Always be sure you can stop within

the range of your headlights.
3. Be patient in heavy traffic,
particularly in the central shopping
district and in the vicinity of subur-
ban shopping centers. Stay in your
lane. Respect the rights of pedes-
trians.
a. Don't plan long trip which will
demand high speeds and long hours
behind the wheel.
S. Adjust your speed to existing
conditions, Never exceed posted speed
limits and bear in mind that condi-
tons may require reduced speed for
safety.
6. Don't attempt to drive after
drinking. Even a single drink impairs
safe driving ability more than most
people realize.
For pedestrians.
1. Cross streets at intersections
only. Wait for the green light or
pedestrian walk signal. If there are
no traffic signals, wait for safe
gap in traffic before trying to cross.
Avoid mid-block crossings except
where there are marked crosswalks
2. Never try to cross streets from
between parked cars or other obstruc-
tons to your view.
3. Don't obsnuct your own view
