FIVE CENTS
ALL SUBVERSIVES
Wants Legislature To Set
Up Permanent Committee
To Combat Commies
Appointment and adequate fi
nancing of a permanent legisla
tive fact-finding and investigat
ing counter-subversive activities
committee will be asked of the
1949 Montana legislature by the
Montana department of the Amer
ican Legion.
This action was taken by the
Legion at its midwinter confer
ence in Helena during which the
first state counter-subversive
seminar was conducted.
"Montanans who attended this
conference went away firm in the
belief that such action should be
taken by the coming state legis
lature in order to combat known
communist front organizations in
this state," Commander E. F.
Naegele of Helena is quoted as
saying.
"Speakers at our seminar told
us in plain language that Mon
tana is in a district in the world
w i d e communist organization
which takes orders from Moscow.
We want people to know about
these organizations so that our
people will not play into the
commies' hands."
State Sen. Nelson Dillworth of
California, a seminar speaker,
stated that "only duly constituted
legislative committees can pro
perly inquire into secret conspir
acies and adequately inform the
public. There is no other invest
igative agency equipped to pub
lish their findings. The people
need to know what the foreign
directed subversives are doing.
"We can't experiment with
Communism. It is final and per
manent. It destroys all chance
to change our minds. The states
must fill in the gaps.
Similar committees are at work
and active in other states.

"The motorist
drives defensively. He tries to

"Reduction in speed is abs >-1
lutely essential to safe driving on
icy pavement."
These suggestions are given for
safety on ice:
1. When starting your vehicle,
go slowly. Trying for a fast
getaway spins tires and increases
likelihood of skidding.
2. Lengthen the distance be
tween your vehicle and the one
ahead. If glare ice conditions
generally prevail, use tire chains
to avoid accidents and traffic tie
because sleet or rain 1
ups.
3. Avoid any sudden change in
speed or direction.
4. Slow down well before you
reach a curve or intersection.
5. Start stopping sooner; touch
brake pedal lightly several times,
reducing speed gradually.
6. Signal intentions of stopping
and turning.
7. If your car starts to skid,
turn front wheels in same direc
tion as car is skidding.
Temperatures just below freez
ing make icy roads more slick
and dangerous than zero temper
atures
w-hich freezes on the ground is •
wet ice, while ice around zero is
comparatively dry.
National Safety Council tests
reveal that use of full tire chains
on rear wheels will reduce stop
ping distance on glare ice by
about 50 per cent. Chains pre
vent traffic tie-ups by providing
traction often needed for start
ing, or climbing a grade.
