Nikita s. Khrushchev's rea-
sons for going to Albania to-
morrow are something Of a
mystery to Washington experts,
The Soviet Premier plans to
visit the Balkan satellite coun-
try from May IS to June s,
according to Moscow's an
nouncement.
Mr.. Khrushchev likes to
travel and has never been to
Albania before. These motives
for his trip are understandable
enough.
But they don't explain why
he intends to spend two weeks
in a comparatively isolated
country the size of Maryland
with a population of only liz
million.
For the moment, the guessers
are hard put to come up with a
logical explanation.
The Russian chief has just
returned from an extended
Crimean vacation, so it would
not seem that he needs another
rest along the blue waters Of
the Adriatic Sea.
He will be away from Mos
COW on May 81, the deadline of
the original Soviet ultimatium
on Berlin. That might be taken
as move to de-emphasize the
threat. Yet this is a lot Of
travelling to make his point.

munist bloc.
It is possible Mr.. Khrushchev
wants to dramatic Moscow's
interest in Albania, the only
satellite country not land con-
nected with the rest of Iron
Curtain empire.
He may wish to show per-
sonal backing in Albania's cur
rent tiff with Italy. He may
want to shake his fist at Italy
and at Albania's back door
'neighbor, Greece. The Soviets
have warned both NATO coun-
tries against accepting Ameri-
can rockets.
Even so, it seems in WASH
ington that Mr.. Khrushchev
could get such tasks out Of the
way from Moscow or with a
brief stopover in Albania in
stead of a two weeks junket.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

In the Historical Library Tuesday
there were some guys demonstrating
a photo-making machine to the var
ious and sundry heads of depart
ments. In this system micro-photos
were collected on plastic file cards.
The cards were inserted in the ma
chine and a blown-up image would
appear on the frosted glass front. If
it was the one you wanted, button
was pushed. Out of the top of the
machine rolled the photostat of the
documentary data, which you then
tore off like a paper towel.

and wanted a story done on the
machine. I didn't think there would

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

At the luncheon were Mahan, Joe
Reber, who seems to be assuming the
role of kingmaker in this instance;
and State Senator Robert Durkee
from Havre.
This probably came as surprise to
the Murrays as our impression is they
didn't think Mahan would file against
the Senator.
Our understanding is that there is
wheeler money" backing the young
hopeful.
Mahan is viewed at best ''mod-
crate" so the next question is, what
will the liberals do? The answer you
get from most liberals at this stage
of the game is that it depends on
what Senator Murray does.

Bonner Lumber
Workers Gained

Contrary to reports originating in
Missoula, the striking members of
Bonner Local 3O38 of Lumber &
Sawmill Workers gained their de-
mand of total wage increases of nine
and one-half cents per hour, Robert
G. Weller, Montana District Council
of LSW executive secretary, has ad-
vised THE VOICE.
Taking cognizance of a story in
the DAILY MISSOULIAN which said
the union had been forced to settle
for seven cents, Weller advises that
this "garbled story simply is not
correct and in substantiation has pro-
vided us with a copy of the agree
ment reached with the Anaconda
Company's lumber division, dated
November 5.
Under terms of the agreement
which ended the several weeks strike,
all union members received a seven
cent hourly wage increase effective
November 1. In addition, another
wage increase of one-half cent ap-
plies to all job classifications May 1,
1860. Finally, an increase of an addi-
tional two cents computed on the

Did Somebody Say Farm
co-ops Don't Paw Taxes2

Taxes paid last year by the four
major service stations in Town
send were recently checked in the
Broadwater county tax ledgers.
The findings are: the farmer
owned Farmers Union Oil Co. paid
$383.s5 MORE in property taxes
than the co-op's three major COM
petitors COMBINED!
The four stations-FU Oil, Con-
tinental, III. Earl Clack and Stand
ard-paid a total tax bill of
$2,11O.O3. In other words, Flu Oil
paid about $I,25o.oo while the
other three, combined, were paying
$4,000.
Republican Legislators Gerard,
Felt, Babcock and Anderson, would
do well to bear the above in mind

Utility Districts there.

pared to the PUBS 8.8 mills per XVIII.

Association said:
can interesting fact about private
power tax payments is that for the
third consecutive year tax payments
declined. Total tax payments have
dropped nearly 100000 from the
1857 level, despite the fact that reve-
nues grew from $54.5 million to
$56.9 million, net operating income
went from 1854 million to 1882 mil

that every one of his speech writer's,
and every editor and reporter who
has characterized public works ap-
preparations as '"pork barrel'', would
acquaint himself with the Soviet pow
er program. The Soviet Union is
pouring billions of dollars annually
into exactly the same kind of water
resource development that is pro-
vided for, in this country, in public

planners never have particularly con-
cerned themselves over the possible
