milk program, both of which are fed
erally-aided.
The aim of these programs is to
bolster the diet of children and to
inculcate proper eating habits. How
ever, NPA goes on, only about one
third of the school kids belong to
the program. 1t suggests that both
the lunch and the milk distribution be
widened. And it proposes also that
consideration be given to extending
similar programs to other types of
institutions.
But the main import of the NPA
statement lies in a proposal for a
nationwide "food allotment plan".
This plan would provide "good, low
cost diet to every family which de-
cided to enter"
The choice of whether to enroll or
not, would be purely voluntary. To
join, the family would have to agree
to provide a fixed percentage of its
income-NPA suggests 40 per cent
in return for full, balanced diet
which would be distributed through
the normal retail channels.
LARGE SCALE TRYOUT
The advantages of such proposal,
NPA believes:
1t provides every family an op-
portunity to get a proper diet, but
retains freedom of choice and, since
it would be handled through the regu-
lar retail distribution set-up, it would
not compete with private enterprise
or disrupt the present system.
Pit would, in NPA's words, "per-
nit individuals and families to sort
themselves out rather than to set up
arbitrary money standards or, what
S much worse, political standards,
for determining who gets the food"
At the same time, such a program
night have the effect of raising farm
ncome.
The group urged large scale try
ut of this or some other plan.

yesterday announced that he would
file a nominating petition for the Of
flee of Railroad and Public Service
Commissioner on the Democratic

ate of Flathead County High School

He has served three terms as vice
president of the Montana State Fed

Importance OF
Deferred Wheat
Contracts Told

What deferred wheat contracts
mean and what has happened in the
fight to get determination from the
the government on this tax problem OF
farmers, was outlined at the GTA
school in Great Falls last weekend by
Leo Graybill, Jr., Great Falls attor-
ney.
The deferred wheat contract, Gray
bill said, is a deferred payment con-
tract a farmer takes for his grain
when he takes it to the elevator but
does not want to take payment until
the next year. He said the Montana
contract is based on one accepted in
Minnesota but that it has not been
approved here.
He said this type of contract has
many advantages. 1t allows the farm
er to sell all the wheat he wants to
cover expenses and make a certain
amount of income and when he has
reached the point where he has made
the money he needs, he stops selling
and stores his grain. Elevators may
want the grain and they are able to
say, "sell me some more grain and
we will give you deferred payment
contract so you won't have to pay
more income tax"
Graybill said the government ap-
proves this type of thing if it qualities
as "an arms length transaction.
He told of the taxpayers asso-
Citations that have been formed
around the state to get a deter
mination from the government, and
he said, "the government is drag
ging its feet. AS attorney for
these groups he said, he has
been trying to get conferences on
the matter because the farmers
want decision, but the government
won't decide.
Farmers want decision, he said.
because it is contributing to finan-
:ial confusion for them, they don't
NOW whether to spend the money

tion for Rosebud county against in.
cumbent R. c. Harken.
Doyle, native of eastern Montana
is Al years old, and has been active
in Democratic circles for more than
20 years in Richland and later on in
Rosebud county.
He is married to the former Kath-
ryn Baue of Fairview and is the father
of two daughters and one son.
In filing for the Senate, Doyle
said he is unequivocally opposed to
enactment of state sales tax and
that he will support legislation to
bring about more equitable highway
financing between automobile own
ers and large trucking operations.
Doyle's opponent, Harken, is a 10
session veteran of both Houses of the
Legislature. In recent sessions he has
grown consistently more conserva-
tice. In 1855 he voted with his party's
majority on important issues less than
half of the time, according to the "box
score" compiled by farm and labor
legislative representatives. In 1857,
Harken failed to vote with the Demo-
cratic senatorial majority on a single
major issue, going against them on
such matters as more adequate foun-
iation program for the schools, more
equitable highway financing, legisla-
ion to secure for the schools greater

iease compensation legislation. and

CONSUMER PROTECTION
NEEDED
In announcing his candidacy Root
says. "The office of Railroad and
Public Service Commissioner is an
office assuming increasing import
ance in and to the State of Montana.
The need for protection of consumer
interest in rate-making has long been
neglected in this State. The problems
of freight rates and utility rates,
which are the main problems before
the commission, have a terrific i'm
pact on the economy of the State and
have much to do with the progress of
development in Montana.
| think that the Railroad and Public
Service Commission must assume an
important role in these
matters. My record of public service
has been one of impartial honesty
and integrity and I will continue, if
chosen to represent the people of
Montana on the Railroad and Public
Service Commission, to serve the peo-

IMPOSING LIST OF MISC
SPEAKERS
Speakers from the State College
at Bozeman included an imposing list
of PhD's and among them were E. r.
Helm, agronomist from the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in Bozeman
who showed just how to make a new
variety of wheat cell. He said. 'It
takes lot of work to find a new kind
of wheat, and proceeded to prove
it by using a blackboard and going
into the realm of chromosomes and
genes and cells. Most people there
probably couldn't repeat the lesson,
but undoubtedly gained knowledge
they didn't have before.

the experiment station, was the least

He said research is an attempt to
find basis for making prediction,
and farmers expect from the college
a recommendation on how farmers
can do better job of what they are
trying to do.
Asleson said the emphasis in re-
search has been on production, but it
was time to take a longer and better
look when starting research because
farmers have to produce not only for
The amount of production but for the
consumer. He said some people think
he researchers have done too good
job on production research, but he
added, maybe not too much produc-

He also spoke about the tremendous

For example, within a week, Con-
gress heard two casual references to
the giant youth program of the New
Deal, the Civilian Conservation Corps.
One reference came from Sen. John
Carroll (D-Colo.) who, during a meet
ing of subcommittee studying juve-
nile delinquency, suggested that, if
unemployment levels continue to rise,
a revived CCC program might be a
twinedge sword with which to battle
both joblessness and juvenile crime.
Another recommendation, less off
the cuff than Carrol's, came recently
from the sober National Planning As
sociation, research group backed by
labor, industry and farm representa-
tives. NPA has on its board of trus-
tees such men as Eric Johnston of
the Motion Picture Association of
America, James Patton of the Nation
al Farmers Union, Donald R. Murphy,
associate editor of Wallace's Farmer,
Walter Reuther of the Auto Workers
and pollster Elmer Roper.
WIDESPREAD MALNUTRITION
Without mentioning the current
slump, NPA's agriculture committee
in policy statement took note of the
fact that large numbers of Ameri-
cans are suffering from malnutrition
at time when the government is
buying and storing food surpluses.
This paradox, NPA observes, is not
new, nor is it as bad as it has been
in the past. Nevertheless, the figures
are disturbing, even if the present
day downturn is ignored.
Citing United States Department |
of Agriculture figures, NPA says
there were 100000 families and
a, 100000 unattached individuals with
incomes less than $1,000 in 1866.
This makes a total of some ten mil
lion Americans. obviously" NPA
comments, people in this group
would have great difficulty buying
