MDU Serves Manv
Rural Customers

FOR many years the Montana.
Dakota Utilities Co. has serves
farmers living adjacent to liz
transmission lines wherever if bas
oeen economically feasible to 40
so. because of the great distances
involved in attempting to reach
the widely scattered rural reel
dents living in our service arc.
IL was not possible for a private
uulity company to make the huge
investment necessary TO bring
electric service to these deservo
ing people on a large scale. The
hlgh cost of capital, the heavy
and diverse taxes, and the urgart
necessity for the electric utility to
pay a fair return to its invest
ors SO that it can expect TO CON
unue to attract capital and thus
remain IN business made il man
datory for MDU to limit its ax
pendltureS to such projects &C
could be expected to produce
sufficient income to cover those
charges. W
with the coming of the RFA
and general increased farm nros-
perlty beginning in the 1895 Il
was possible for large erounc of
farm and ranch folks to organ
lie and to borrow money for q
long term at very favorable rates
IN order to build the many miles

glneering service was also made

ing inside the satellite country.
Keeping up its campaign to
force Western recognition of
the puppet Communist govern
ment, the Russian embassy in
East Berlin declared that the
East German regime has juris-
diction over the American pris-
oners and their aircraft because
the helicopter came down OUT
side the three allied air corri-
doris to West Berlin.
Russia guarantees free allied
air traffic through these corri-
doris under a 1949 Big Four
agreement.
The Soviet Embassy state
ment indicated that the United
States and Russia were heading
into a big diplomatic wrangle
over the nine Americans.
Reds Make Claims
The Russian statement was
in response to a newsman's
question whether Russia or
East Germany had Jurisdiction
over the Americans.
Earlier the East German gov
eminent claimed it has the
right to say what will be done
with the helicopter and those
aboard it.
A Russian embassy spokes-
man said the nine Americans
were being held by responsible
organs of the German demo-
cratic republic" He said all
were we'll and none was in
jured when the helicopter
came down.
Asked about rumors they had
been moved from the frontier
area to East Berlin. the spokes-
man said he thought this un-
likely.
