A jazz musician. who was thump-
ing a bass fiddle in a Manhattan
hot spot 10 years ago, has been
ordained a Roman Catholic
priest.
Gate Frega-now Father John

terday. He had spent years of

Father John, 80, said he had
an urge for the priesthood" when
he went to school in Paterson,

with Les Browns dance band,
the Army All-Star Band and,
later, the Joe Mooney Quartet.

Father John said. THE priest

BERKELEY. Calf, June Is
tR.-The universe appears to be
expanding at the same rate, in
all directions. from a common
center.
That conclusion was expressed
yesterday by teams Of astrono-
mers who have completed a 90
year cooperative study at Mount
Wilson-Palomar and Lick OBJ
servatories in California.
They said their conclusions
were based on substantial new
evidence"
The conclusions were worked
out in the study of '.redshifts" So
the shift. toward the red part OF
the spectrum, of features meas
ured in the spectrum of extra
galactic nebulae, or galaxies.
The uniform expansion of the
universe had been indicated pre-
viously. the University of Cali

lively few observations of red
lifts.
Results Published

study have been published in the

The report said blacklisting is

AS for the legitimate theater
the report found there is no

The report said some produc-

KOUSE-PASSED BILL WOULD SPEED UP
COMPLETION OF RECLAMATION PROJECTS

HELENA-The u. S. House of
Representative Monday passed bill
to speed up completion of federal
reclamation projects at less cost to
the government.
The bill, which goes to the Sem
ate, would authorize the interior De-
partment to contract with water
users repayment organizations for
construction of drainage works and
relatively minor improvement items
found necessary after the major con-
struction programs have been COM
pleted.
Under present law, the department
may construct projects by contracts
let after competitive bidding or by
government forces. AS completion of
these projects nears, there usually is
pressure to get the project into op-
GRAFTON and to begin farm develop

ment. Later, after construction crews
and equipment have moved on, there
is a need for project drainage work
and for additions, improvements or
notifications to some facilities.
These finishing details now can be
taken care of only by the same pro
cedure followed in the construc ton
period. At the same time, however,
the water users organization has men
and equipment available to do the
completion work during the slack sea-
son and at a saving to the govern
ment.
The bill was suggested by members
of the Board of Control of the Buffa-
10 Rapids project at Terry. 1t was
supported by a resolution adopted at
the Water Users Irrigation Confer
ence in Billings on January 1914,
1866.

DAWSON COUNTY FARM
FORUM WANTS RETURN
TO 1907 PARITY

Farmers of Dawson county held a
farm forum meeting in Glendive und-

National Committee, and recon-
mended that all production on the
family farm should be carried at

| formula. The group unanimously
went on record as favoring bushel
allotment.
The meeting which was held in
order to get grass roots opinions of
the American farmer to aid the DEM
ocrats in formulating national and
state policy also recommended:
1. That reasonable limit of some
amount be placed on the total amount
one Individual or corporation can
receive under parity payments
2. That the community committee
men be nominated and elected in open
meetings by the farmers in the COM
munity and that the community COM
mitteemen in turn elect the county
committee.
3. That livestock be put on quota
system and supported at l0OTo OF
parity.
A. That feed grains imported from
other countries be placed ON quota,
5. That an increased appropriation
for the school lunch program be eff
fected. Approval was given the food
stamp plan for distribution of gov
eminent surplus to the needy.
6. That surplus Commodity wheat
not be sold except at 1850 of parity
as in the present law. (This is not
to apply to exports).
Z. That second power plant at Fort

"a fall in farm prices is felt
in every corner in Montana's
economy. When the farmer gets
less money for his product, he has
little or no money for buying ma
chimes or automobiles.
"The man who sells to the farmer
quickly sees the decline in his own
profits and as a result buys less
By such chain, every home in the
state finally feels the effect of fall
ing farm prices. We must have more
money for Montana farm products.
10000 parity is a more realistic
program. Parity means equality in
dollars for the things the farmer
sells in proportion to the things he
buys. In no event can we think in
terms of less than 90% parity. To
such price supports, there
should also be compensation for soil
conservation of acreage made idle.
Farmers should receive payments
equal to the cash rental of the land
taken out of production. A soil con-
program alone without
price supports and parity in terms of
at least 900, would be no gain for

senators this year due to designations

Under the proclamations candidates

Their term will cover only the two
year period of 1857 and 1858. Like

WEST TO FEEL LEAST
IMPACT OF ST HOUR
wage MINIMUM

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-The Far
West will feel less impact from the
$1-an-hour minimum wage as of
March l under the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act than any other part Of the
country, it was reported by Regional
Director John R. Ollie of the U. S.
Department of Labor's Wage-Hour
Division.
The area most severely affected by
the dollar minimum will be the South,
where some % per cent of production
workers engaged in manufacturing
as a whole earned less than 81 an
hour.
BY contrast, he said the comparable
figure for the Far West was only 2
per cent.
The new minimum will not be en-
tirely unnoticed by the Far West.
In the mems and boys dress shirt
industry, for instance, the survey
showed % per cent of production
workers in the Far West earning less
than 81 an hour as of May 1854. In
the food products industry, 6 per
cent of production workers in the
Far West were reported by the survey
as earning less than 81 an hour in
April 1854.
The Regional Director pointed out
that the new minimum wage, enacted
by Congress last summer, does not
affect all employees. 1t applies only to
those engaged in interstate commerce
or producing goods for interstate or
foreign commerce.
