US. Signs $4S,9OO,OOO Aid Agreement With Communist Poland

WASHINGTON RAThe United States today signed a 8,9OO,OOO aid agreement with Communist Poland and promised $46, 100000 more if and when Congress pro- vides authority and funds.
 The agreement ended three and a half months of negotiations set off, last February by President Eisenhower's promise to help Po- land or any other Red nation which demonstrates a will to as- sert it's sovereignty and indepen- dence of Soviet domination.
 The long-range purpose behind the US. aid program, Eisenhower made clear, is to let the Soviet satellite countries know that they can look to the US. for support and help if they reject total Mos COW control.

 The Trumans waved happily and, accompanied by their son. in-law Clifton Daniel, went to see their daughter, Margaret, and her day-old child.

Canned Food Left in
 Antarctic in 1910 To Be Tested for Radioactivity

NEW YORK, R-Scientists will examine canned food left in the antarctic in 1910 to determine if it is less radioactive than present day food.
 Last March a Navy physiologist, Dr. Sidney A. Schwartz of Brook lyn, brought back from the ant arctic food left by British explor- CT Capt. Robert F. Scott. Scott and two companions died of cold and starvation in 1912 during a return trek from the South Pole.
 The Atomic Energy Commits sion, it was learned Wednesday, will test the food cache to find out whether background radiation" which all food has from natural sources-has increased during the past 12 years of atomic explosions.

For First Time
Democrats Organize
Billings City Council

BILLINGS-For the first time in
the memory of Billings residents, the
Democrats organized the City Council
when it re-organized last Tuesday
night, following the last city cleo
ton. Robert Scarborough was elected
president of the council, unseating
Republican Stewart North. The vote
was five to three, favoring Scar
borough over North. Other Demo-
Gratis on the council are John New
man, Tom Deckert, Sterling Thomp-
son and Carl Clavadetcher. Clava-
detcher and Deckert were newly
elected in the recent city election, in
which Willard Fraser, Democrat, was
narrowly defeated by about 600 votes
by Earle Knight, incumbent Republi-
can mayor. This was the strongest
showing the Democrats have ever
made in Billings city election.
If this means anything local
politicians thing that it does'-one
political observer points out, cit

Montana's labor market had more
workers on jobs and more seeking
jobs in April than in any previous
April since 1916, the Unemployment
Compensation Commission comments
in releasing its monthly summary of
labor facts.
Estimates show 163,SO0 wage earn
ers in non-farm industries during
April. while applicant rolls at employ
ment service offices in the state num-
bered $4,000. Both these figures" !"
Chairman Chadwick H. Smith of the
Commission says, exceed those for
any April since 1916. Nearest ap-
proach was 10000 wage earners a
year ago, and 1880 jobseekers in
April of 1850"
Expanding industry is furnishing
more job stations than ever before,
Smith adds. but Montana's labor force
seems to be growing even faster. Re-
sumption of seasonal operations has
been at a slightly slower pace this
spring than usual, but there are evil
dences that balanced labor market
will be attained by late summer and
fall
Contract construction is slightly
ahead of last year at this time, with
10000 reported. Seasonal expansion
in the summer of 1856 raised con-
struction employment to 15,40O in
September, 4,80O more than the pres
ent payroll figure.

at Glasgow and enlargements of air
facilities at Great Falls, irrigation
facilities in the Helena Valley, and
extensive building construction at all
of the states principal cities, will
probably afford employment to all
skills and labor qualified for those
posts
Smith reports more employment in
April of this year in every major in
dustrial group except transportation,
than in April of 1856. Manufacturing
employment is up 700 in the year
period largely in the primary metal
processing field; mining gained 400,
half of it in metal mining and the
rest in production of oil and gas;
finance and insurance also gained
400, seven per cent growth in one
year; government employment rose
900 in the year, mostly at state and
local levels; trade and service indus
tries show a gain of 800 and 500,
respectively.
LUMBER DEMAND LAGS
One difficulty lies in the tagging
demand for lumber, which began to
be felt last fall and shows little sign
of reaching maximum level this year
unless BODYBUILDING is resumed on
a nationwide scale comparable to that
of recent years. Employment in lum-
Der and logging is about equal to that
of last April, 6,4OO, but will have to
increase by $500 by August to match
the level reachedgin August last year.
Principal concentration of job
applicants in April "was at Kalispell
with 2,447, covering Flathead and
Lincoln counties. Billings had 1880 |
seeking work, in Yellowstone, Carbon,
Musselshell, Big Horn and
Treasure counties. Missoula had 1,343
in Mineral, Missoula, and
parts of adjacent counties. At Butte
here were 765 awaiting work, Great
Falls TAI, Helena 563, Bozeman 511,
and Hamilton 503.

Hungry Horse
Dam Blocked
Early MdyHood

Hungry Horse Dam blocking the
South Fork kept the Flathead River
from flood stage this week.
Early May temperatures 8 degrees
above normal brought flow of the
Flathead's South Fork into Hungry
Horse reservoir to 26,578 cubic feet
per second Sunday. Wednesday it was
down to 20,442 cubic feet per second.
Meanwhile the main Flathead River
at Columbia Falls flowed at 46,520
cubic feet per second without South
Fork water. The flood gauge at
Columbia Falls read 1877. Without
Hungry Horse Dam the flow would
have topped Is feet and flooded low
roads and homes in flat areas toward
Kalispell. Flood stage is considered
IA feet, and damage commences at
Is feet.
Warm temperatures brought this
first of three anticipated spring flood
peaks of the Flathead to an unusual
ly high stage for early May. In con-
trast there was the late spring of
1853 when the fork peaked at 26,665
second feet June 4 and at 27,145A
June 13.
The year of the Vanport flood,
1948, saw the South Fork flow at
$4,000 second feet. Hungry Horse
Dam was just starting and the main
Flathead flooded at 10000 cubic
feet causing damage.
Average peak flow of Flathead
streams is May %. Outlook this year
is that the May 5 flow will be the
top for this season. Last year the
Flathead's South Fork peaked at
33,486 second feet May 21.
Flathead utilization of mountain
snow water comes through Hungry
Horse Dam. A week ago the reservoir
contained 2,038,12O acre feet. Thurs
day it was 2,337,94O acre feet, and is !
expected to fill at 3 3,468,00O acre feet
early in June.
Except for Monday, Hungry Horse
was not producing power this week
