As IRS Head

The Senate Finance Commit
tee today gave unanimous ap-
proval to the nomination OF
Mortimer M. Caplin Of Char

Mr.. Caplin, a teacher Of tax
at the University Of Virginis
and a private tax counsel for
the last 20 years. reafftrmed his
previously expressed views that
depletion allowances should be
cut. expense account deductions

dividend and interest pay
mentS more effectively taxed,
But he emphasized that he
holds these opinions "as q cit
izen," and does not expect I'd
participate in making tax policy
recommendations unless his ad-
ministration superiors ask
him to.
The soft-spoken 44-year-old
lawyer thus managed to please
the liberal minority on the
committee without arousing
the suspicious Of the conserva-
tive majority.
Chairman Harry r. Byrd
Democrat Of Virginia told Mr.
Caplin he was proud, as q
fellow Virginian, Of your ap-
pointment," and the nominee
also was commended in a let
ter from Senator Robertson
Democrat Of Virginia.

has begun consultations with
Internal Revenue Service Off
cials on ways to make the tar
forms and instructions more
understandable and palatable'
for ordinary citizens.

nations Of Mayor Ivan NeStin.

dersecretary Of Health, Educa.

Zion Lutheran Church will be
the scene of a concert by the
world-famous st. Olaf Choir, Fri
day, February II at 800 pm.
The Choir, which is appearing
in Glendive for the first time, is
composed of 60 students from st.
Olaf College, NorthfieId, MINES
Ota.
More than three-quarter of a
century ago, the early Norwegian
settlers TO the Midwest, felt the
need for building churches and
schools. st. Olaf College was then
established in this picturesque
town in Southern Minnesota. To-
day, the st. Olaf student body
numbers about 1900. The college
prides itself on the high caliber
of scholastic attainment, and has
earned an enviable reputation
throughout the nation by the con-
tTbution of its graduates to all
fields of education, business and
the professions.
The music department of this
school has long been held in high
esteem. The college was hardly
twenty-five years old when it
brought to its campus the man
who was to mold a choir which
would earn national and inter-
national fame. The man was DIR.
F. Melius Christensen. who came
to st. Olaf in 1903. From his early
work, great things soon developed.
Through his influence, "a cap
pella" singing has grown through
out the nation.
The choir which DR.. Christian
sen developed began its nation
wide tours in 1920, and since then
has appeared annually throughout
this country and several times
abroad. It's most recent tour to
Europe took place in 1855 when
thirty-One concerts were given in
the Scandinavia and Germany and
in 1857 when eight days were
spent in Iceland. It's purpose is to
perform the best in choral litera-
ture with the highest degree of
perfection and artistry. That this
has been accomplished has been
proved by the long list of reviews
from the nations finest critics for
more than forty years. These re-
views have always acclaimed this
choir as the grestest of its kind.

mainly vitamin A and calcium,
must be supplemented properly.
Arne Ske'dSvold of P.V.O., and
Chuck Wright of Occident Eleva-
tor both said that commercial
feed manufacturers are now pro-
ducing supplemental feeds to go
along with high barley rations.
Al Harris, feeding research
specialist for Holly Sugar, said
THAT in feeding trials that he has
supervised, dried nolaSSeS beet
pulp and barley with proper sup
plamentation of vitaminS and
minerals produced excellent re-
suits. He said that dried molaSSes
beet pulp helps in reducing the
incidence of olcat and other di-
geStive disturbances when fed
with a high barley ration.
DR.. D. c. Baker, local veterin-
arian, commented on many of the
nutrient deficiency symptoms
that he has observed in local feed
lots. He particularly expressed
concern over Vitarnin A deficien-
cies and the high nitrate content
of many of our roughageS. DIR.
Baker Indicated that a thorough
investigation and study Should be
made relative to nitrates in feeds
Blake Tippets, Great Fails area
feeder, gave an interesting report
in his large feeding operations in
which he feeds a lot of rolled
barley. He said he increases the
moisture content of barley before
rolling and has found this to be
advantageous for him.
All panel members agreed tina

supplemented, has a place il

MAVERICK CROP VARIETIES

arthur SnaW, EXTENSION ag-

ports that crop varieties of un-

varieties, and statesmen are al
ready in the field. They are
selling, according 10 them super

Your best bet for crop seeds
is to stick with varieties that are

MANY years of testing goes into
specific variety before it is re-
leased. Before a new variety |;
released, it must prove Itself equa,

Brodie Of guilt. He named a
third man as his accomplice
but said he himself was fully
to blame for the theft.
Judge Nelson called the
third man, who was present. to
the front Of the courtroom and
had him stand beside Brodie.
