low-interest financing available to US
for development, expansion and bring
ing of electricity to many of those
needing it, we still must rely upon
approval of private utility for pro-
curing the needed power. This situa-

cause of the power being generated
at Canyon Ferry, which is available
and can be so urgently needed by
many. This transmission line is must

We want to assure you that if we
were able to supply you, we would
be more than happy to do so. If power
was available we feel that we could
work out an acceptable program to
our mutual benefit. If for any rea-
son the power is available to us before
you are otherwise furnished power,
we would again like to be considered
as the furnishing agency.
We thank you and your staff for
your very excellent cooperation and

Expect House Group to
Ignore Petition of
Anfi-Co-op Groups

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A petition allegedly endorsed by t3O
trade groups and asking immediate
public hearings to tax coop refunds
has fallen on deaf ears.
An individual close to the House
Ways and Means Committee, who de-
clined Identification, said the COM
mittee will take no action this session
on the petition.
Congressman are particularly wary
of 'uninhibited pressures aroused by
National Tax Equality Association,
which continues to hound lawmakers, :"
he said. Committee members gener-
ally feel there's no good reason to

deserve to have them.
We understand a contract exists
between the National Park Service
and the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company for new tele-
phone facilities in the Park. Under
this contract joint use could be made
of poles and rights-of-way for both
the telphone and electric service. 1t
is our understanding that any delay
at this time may result in added ex-
pense to the National Park Service for
both power and telephone service. Du-
plication of right -of-way would furth-
er harm the natural beauties of the
Park. Our consideration of the public
welfare and the urgency of this mat
ter has also prompted our decision.
At this time we would like to say,
as matter of record, that this sit
uation points up and emphasizes,
in our opinion, the grave need for
a transmission line from Canyon
Ferry to southern and eastern Mon
tana. Our Cooperative and those in
eastern Montana are unable, under
present conditions, to supply power
where it is SO vitally needed, as
in this case.

have man like Mr.. Steichen to fill
the void created by the death of our
former general manager. Mr.. Syftes-
tad's sudden passing has left us all
deeply saddened, but the board felt
immediate action must be taken to
name his successor to insure the con-

deal of confidence in the training and
ability of Mr.. Steichen and we, as
the directors of this great farm sup
ply organization, are confident that
Mr.. Steichen will make an enormous
contribution to the company's well
fare in the future"
Steichen began his career with the
Central Exchange in 1885 when he
accepted position as bookkeeper for
the New Richmond. Wisconsin branch.
1t was also part of his job to help this
branch convert its business operations
into separate locally owned coop
erative. Up to this time, it had been
operated by the Central Exchange.
By late 1885, the conversion was COM
pleted, and Steichen then became an
employee of the local company.
He worked in this capacity until
1886 when he was offered the posi-
ton of assistant credit manager at
the Central Exchange. Working under
c. J. Mitchell, pioneer co-operator
and powerful coop figure, Steichen
gained valuable experience and train
ing particularly in regard to credit |
and financial procedures.
He became manager of the credit |
in early 1851 upon the
ieath of Mitchell.
In March, 1866, he was appointed |
assistant general manager of the Cen
raj Exchange.

Mckay Gets
I.J.C. Post

WASHINGTON. D. C.-(NRECA)
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (Ore.)
last week charged that the appoint
ment of former Secretary of the In
terror Douglas Mckay to the Inter
national Joint Commission was sin
credible
The commission. which is composed
of two members each from Canada
and the United States, is responsible
for heading off boundary water dis
putes that may arise between the two
countries.
Neuberger declared that, after last
years decisive "repudiation in the
Pacific Northwest" of the power and
water resource development policies
that Mckay had become identified
with, it is incredible" that he should
be chosen to fill the position.
"The equivalent of three or four
more Bonneville Dams is at stake,
and | seriously doubt the wisdom
of placing the fate of this vast pow
supply in the hands of man who
implacably opposed expansion of
the whole federal power SYSTEM"
Neuberger stated.
Neuberger declared that McKay's
appointment points up the ''need for
action on my recommendation of last
year that appointments to the Inter
national Joint Commission at least
should be subject to Senate confirma-
ton"
Sen. Henry NJ. Jackson (Wash.) |
said he was surprised" by the ap-
pointment of Mckay since his (Mc-
Kay's) stand on water resource de-
velopment had been "repudiated by
the people in the Northwest in past |
elections"
Mckay was the target of criticism
by rural electric leaders while serving
in Washington, because of his ada
mant stand against the federal power
program. Mckay was also Secretary
of the Interior at the time that In
terror withdrew as intervenor on Ida
no Power Company's application to
build three low dams on the Snake
River. /

said. During the first four months
of this year, he pointed out, we i'm
ported zinc equivalent to an annual
rate of about "a per cent of all zinc
used by U. S. industry last year. Lead
imports last year and the first four
months of this year show a similar
high rate.
Foreign lead-zinc producers en-
joy distinct competitive advantages
over u. S. producers" the Mine
Mill union official said. Their
main advantage lies in the very
much lower wage rates paid to la
Dor in these foreign Mines" Can
ada, he said, is the only country in
which earnings are nearly compar-
able to those paid in the United
States.
He called for prompt and drastic
relief" to prevent the U. S. lead-zinc
industry from being smothered by
foreign competition. He urged the
passage of a bill embodying: (1) A
sliding scale of import taxes that
would become effective whenever
domestic market prices of lead and
zinc fall below specified peril points;
(2) A quota system for imports
total imports would be
geared to the estimated total con-
needs of the domestic econ
omy, with individual quotas for each
exporting country, based on both
past records of imports and relative
wage rates. Under the quota system,
le said, preference would be given
% higher wage rate countries like |
Canada, encouraging the raising of |
living standards in all countries that

Dependency is a slavery form

Negroes will enjoy brighter

Good leadership could pave the

A GREAT TEACHER Is GONE
A TRIBUTE TO MRS. IRENE
STUBS JACOBS

~ WV SsNO
Mrs. Irene Stubs Jacobs, well
known pioneer Miami school
teacher, who Lived at 341 NV
14th terrace, died on Friday, July
IL, at her home, following am ex-
tended illness.
At the time of her retirement
from the teaching profession. in
the year of 1941, Mrs. Jacobs was
one of the oldest teachers in point
of service in this community. A
graduate Of the old Fisk Univer-
Sity at Nashville, Tenn. MnS.
Jacobs came to Miami in the early
l92O's and first taught at Dunbar
High School. Dunbar has since be-
come an elementary school.
Mrs. Jacobs also taught at the
present Booker 7. Washington
High School from the time that
IL first opened until shortly be-
fore retirement from the profes.
sion.
Especially talented in the field
Of drannatics, Mrs. Jacobs heid the
distinction Of having produced
and directed some Of the finest
dramas ever presented In this
community. Many Of the present
day dramatic teachers In this and
other communities received their
training and inspiration from Mrs.
Jacobs. Many teachers in other
fields, both high school and others
in this and other communities
were at one time students Of Mrs.
Jacobs and almost without excep-
ton, they rate her as one Of the
finest teachers they ever had, for
Mrs. Jacobs was proficient in sew
eraI fields. She made a lasting
contribution to education in the
Greater Miami area.
In the death of Mrs. Jacobs,
Miami and the state Of Florida as
a whole, have lost one of their
finest and most talented teachers.
A teacher who taught for the love
of the work, and who moulded
the characters of many, many
young men and women in this
and other communities; teacher
who touched the lives and train
ed many successful people. Her
passing will be regretted by many
people, especially her former stu
dents, for even in retirement she
was still well remembered by stu-
dents and teachers.
A great teacher Is gone. May
she rest in peace and light per-
petual shine on her.
