Farmers and ranchers in this
area should take every means
possible to eliminate the grass
shown above before it becomes
a real menace, advises Dean Da-
wilson, Richland County Exten-
sion Agent.
This grass, commonly called
cheatgraSS, is a very undesirable
specie, and is becoming more pre-
valeut each year throughout Rich
land and surrounding counties.
Heretofore, cheatgrass has infest-
ed thousands of acres of crop and
rangeland mainly in Southern
and Central Montana. AS winter
wheat production has been NOV
ing further north, so has cheat
grass as they are both winter an
nuals and thus have similar
growth habits. CheatgraSs ma
lures, however, earlier than fall
seeded crops such as winter
wheat and produces an abundance
of Viable seed. After maturity
cheatgrass creates a terrific fire
hazard.

Joe Leland gave a demonstra-
ton on how to freeze cookies. The
flag pledges were said. Roll call
was taken with three members
absent. The nine members present
answered roll call by naming their
favorite freezer product.

discussing a dance if we a get

talked about the Watford City
Fair and The Richland County

Old business consisted of dis
cussing our picnic. 1t was well at
tended and everyone had a good

be sure to check the seed you
purchase carefully to see that it
contains no ch~eatgrass. 1t is often
mixed with other grass seeds and
with winter wheat seed that or
iginates in a cheatgrass infested
area. If cheatgrasS gets a start,
be sure to destroy it by some
means to keep the seed from
spreading. Remember it is a win
ter annual and can best be con-
trolled by keeping it from seed
ing.
Overgrazed ~rangeland and
abandoned cropland are excellent
places for cheatgraSs to start
RoadsideS that do not have q
good perennial grass cover are
also a good place for this weed
to start. In view of the fact tha'
some cheatgraSs has already
started along some county roads
the Richland County Weed Con.
troll District is planning a contro
program IN this area.
BY being diligent, farmers anI
ranchers can keep cheatgras
from becoming a real menace il
this area. 1t certainly will b
worth every effort to keep thi
annual grass from spreading, say

MDU Head
Says King Has
Utility Backing

Cecil w. Smith, president of
Montana-Dakota Utilities Co.,
said today that Northern States
Power Company president, Allen
S. King, representing IA upper
midwest power suppliers stated in
a letter to Kenneth Holum, As
sistant Secretary of the Depart
ment of the Interior that an offer
from IA local power suppliers to
firm up the Missouri hydroelec-
trio developments was rejected
"for the simple reason it did not
fit into your plans for a power
supply in the Missouri basin
area"
According to Smith, an offer
was made earlier this year by
IA local power suppliers that
would make it possible for the
federal hydro system to sell an
additional 650,000 kilowatts of
firm power. The offer set UP a
plan for exchanging power be-
tween the two systems, the IA
systems firming UP the hydro
power during periods of low
water and the government sys-
tenn paying the power back in
periods when its production ex-
ceeds its customers needs.
Smith said that the IA power
suppliers making the offer in
clude IL utility companies, one
rural electric cooperative, and
one public power district. The
offer was rejected by Holum

There are glaring Shortcom.

of espionage. Nevertheless.
we regard this presumably
deliberate Inassing Of Com
munist effort in the civil
service unions as most dan
gerous to security. however
one defines it."
This is q realistic inter-
probation. What really counts
isn't the number Of Commu-
nistS. but the means they
possess for getting important
information or hampering
operations in sensitive areas.
In this country, Mai. Gen.
w. T. Thurman, the Air
Force director Of procure
ment management, has just
told the House Appropria-
tionS Committee that there
have been 492 strikes at
missile sites during the last
five years, and that in the
first two-and-a-half months
of 1862 there were As such
strikes. He said:
THE current rate on man
days (of work. lost is ap-
proximately 430 per cent of
that experienced during the
last eight months of 1851"
This is in contrast with q
statement by Secretary of
Labor Goldberg at a news
conference last Monday, in
which he declared that the
situation on strikes at the
missile bases is infinitely
better than it was a year ago.
While there has not been
uncovered any evidence of
Communist activity on the
missile bases, it does seem
strange that jurisdictional
disputes and wildcat strikes
are more numerous in this
particular field than in any
other category Of industry or
business.
A special investigating
committee of Congress is Ger
tainly needed to inquire into
the activities of all persons
directly or indirectly related
to employment problems in
the missile industries. How
many, for instance. are mem
bers of the Communist
Party?
For on all sides it Is con-
ceded that the impact Of
work stoppages on the de-
fense program has been ser
ious. A strategy Of delay may
be more important to the
Soviets than the gathering
of any secret information on
the missiles or weapons
themselves.

Debate on U.N. Gets Out of Hand

Senators Aiken, Hicken-

avoid an all-out debate on

those who deal with classified

Among the provisions now

DAVID LAWRENCE

The tendency in recent
years has been to belittle
Communist infiltration in
America. 1t is too often
brushed aside as an exaggera-
ton, and in Great Britain,
particularly. there has been
noticeable for a long time a
practice of laughing off or
dismissing as ''McCarthyism"
all charges Of Communist in
filtration.
But now comes a surprise
to the people Of England. as
a formal report is made to
Parliament by a special in
vestigation committee which
declares that it has found a
most dangerous" penetra-
ton of the British civil serv-
ice by Communists and Com
muniSt SympathlzerS.
In this country, coinciden-
tally, there has been a de-
termined effort to abolish the
House Committee on Un-
American Activities on the
ground that its work is no
longer necessary and that
America doesn't have to
worry about the small mem
bership of the Communist
Party In the United States.
Now, it may be asked: If it
is so important for the Com
munists to do what they have
just been found guilty of
doing in Great Britain, why
isn't it even more important
to infiltrate in the United
States. which represents po-
tentially a much bigger source
Of secret information for the
Communists?
The answer Is that, despite
attempts to minimize Com
munist infiltration. the ef-
fort by the Soviets does
nevertheless, persist and
probably is helped because
1t isn't being sufficiently
impeded by exposure in this
country.
The report of the British
parliamentary committee now
has been presented to Par
lament with a declaration
that its recommendations are

ment. These include meas
ures to combat presumably
