Plan to Revolt In Berlin Found (Continued From Page One) and other forces at streets leading to West Berlin. If they fall to do so, he added, it would be "tantamount to giving up Berlin." Though he did not mention it, a factor to be reckoned with would be the almost equally militant socialist youth organization whose squads have shown themselves about as ready as the communists to re sort to violence.

Burglar Susnect Jailed by Police (Continued From Page One) safe in Louie's garage offices. He couldn't see the lower portion of the room because a desk blocked his view, he said. There was no movement inside, he added. Sergeant Foust and Lieutenant Doyle began the day's patrol in a police car shortly afterward. Sei-geant Foust said two men aroused their suspicions, but they decided against accosting them.

The burglaries were discovered at 9:20 and 9:28 by Vaughn Gardner, proprietor of the service station, and Louis Croonenburghs, owner of the garage. The two policemen, with Mr. Garrin, began a canvass of the downtown area in a search for the two men they had noticed on the street. They found the two in a bar Also in the bar was Pape. who they surprised before he could get rid of dynamite cap primers and pennies which they found In his pockets.

Al so on his person were 10 penniea. eight of copper and two of zinc, similar to the 10 reported stolen from the service station. His clothing was stained with grease which officers compared with the lubricating grease on an air compressor in the station. Found in the garage, evidently left behind when the burglars were frightened away by Mr. Garrin, were an electric drill, screw driver.

heavy mallet with rubber face and an automatic valve lifter. The police lieutenant said he believes the drill was stolen from a Wallace, Idaho, garage. The tools apparently were to have been used to open the door of the safe in the office, police said. Entry was gained through broken windows at both business places. Pape has served several prison sentences, the officer said.

Such a program, he contended, should nave such lasting benefits that Its main tenance would become less and less necessary for the stability of agriculture. The Grange master voiced oppo sition to any proposal that reduces competition between farmers. He said a proposal which makes for less efficiency is not in the public interest. Had the Brannan plan been In operation In any of the last 10 years, he declared, it would have cost the American taxpayers seven and a half billion dollars for that year.

Taking Into consideration the prices paid for commodities and the amount of taxes required to maintain subsidies, he expressed doubt as to whether "any families except tnose in tne lowest income brackets would have paid less for their food under the Brannan proposal. Mr. weydemeyer voiced a prefer ence for flexible crop supports, with federal payments reduced in pro portion to surpluses of particular crops. Clarkson Spain of Bozeman, pres ident of the Montana Farm Bureau federation, expressed views in large part coinciding with those of the Grangemaster. The Gallatin county farmer said the support program kshould be of such a nature as to induce farmers to shift their production from crops of which there is a surplus to those for which need exists.

He objected to rigid 100 per cent parity for several reasons, among them that the cost to the taxpayers would be so great that public sentiment would soon be so against farm programs that all federally supported activities In behalf of agriculture would be endangered. He disapproved of the government spending money to maintain farm prices and control production while making other outlays to open new land for settlement to increase the amount of food supplies. Mr. Spain suggested that an edu cational program for the "upgrading of diet" could materially reduce farm surpluses and provide "a stronger nation to combat external forces." The forum moderator was Robert P. Struckman, MSU assistant pro fessor of journalism and a former associate editor of the Montana Farmer-Stockman.

Progress Reuorted In Battle on Snow (Continued From Page One) But an as yet uncounted number of livestock are dead or dying. A report from Browning said there were "hundreds of animals dead in that area. Stahl was told that 2,500 head of cattle were dead or near death in Valley county and another 2,500 endangered. Phillips county reported 10.000 head en danpered. From Hill county came word that 7,000 to 8,000 head of cattle in the Bear Paw area have enough hay to last for not longer than two weeks.

In Helena, Alfred R. Anderson, state agricultural commissioner, said there is "enough hay in Montana to handle the present emergency." Pilots at Cut Bank, who have been flying supplies to white farmers and ranchers in Glacier county for sev eral weeks, said a majority of those needing food and fuel have received help from the air. Indians, however, are reported short of food, fuel and livestock feed. A fleet of equipment continued work Sunday at Browning, Mon tana's storm center. Drifts up to second story windows in the town were being whittled down by blade-equipped Jeeps, tractors and huge plows.

The two-mile road from Browning to the Great Northern depot was open again after being closed by deep drifts most of last week. Plows also cleared a trail through drifts on TJ. S. highway No. 2 east of Browning.

But the road west of Browning and U. S. No. 89 north and the Dyer act. He was sentenced on the count.

He also served a term in Deer Lodge for grand larceny committed at Dillon. Other sentences for grand larceny and forgery were served in Idaho, according to Lieutenant Doyle. Information from Wallace indicated that he had bailed his accomplice out of jail there Saturday. Lieutenant Doyle, sheriff's offi cers and highway patrolmen ques tioned the prisoner.

MRS. BFRNICE MOORE, Mother Adviser, 1802 Hilda; phone 3298. In Eureka Fire (Continued From Page One) awakened and aroused as many occupants as possible. Jess LaBuff, coach of the Browning team, said members of the team roused everyone possible In the few minutes before the whole place was In flames. "When the boys awakened me I detected smoke and in moments the whole upper floor of the hotel was enveloped in it.

They literally shoved me through a door and we jumped from the second story window into the snow. If it had not been for the boys I could never have gotten out." Only minor injuries resulted to those who Jumped and that was the only avenue of safety for those In the sleeping rooms of the hotel, Fire Chief George Davis, whose restaurant is separated by a vacant lot from the hotel, said he was on the scene Immediately after the alarm was given, and the whole place was ablaze, adding, "And I never saw a- building burn so fast." Early arrivals on the fire scene reported there was a scurrying to windows of the members of the Browning basketball team, who lumped while the ceiling between the first and second floors was ablaze, "apparently from one end to the other." One eyewitness said almost imediately after the boys had Jumped from windows that the upstairs collapsed into the fire below. L. A. (Larry) Riley, operator of the hotel, said it contained 25 rooms and was a frame building which was built around 1900.

It, was the old Masby hotel. Mr, Riley received slight burns when in his night clothes he ran from the Riley apartment on the rear into the hotel proper after the alarm sounded. The local fire department was augmented with forest service equipment, which Forest Ranger E. Grambo brought from the ranger station and used in pumping water on to the fire from the near-by Tobacco river. One couple escaped from the main lobby of the hotel.

A man and woman whose Identity was not learned were the only ones to escape from the front door. The Eureka post office occupied space In the front of the building, and late Sunday the post office safe was still under a mass of smouldering ruins. Glen Roose, acting postmaster, reported all mail lost. He Is awaiting postal inspec tors before opening a temporary post office. One of the members of the Browning team to escape was Robbie Powell, a brother of one of the missing basketball teammates.

They are sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Powell, Babb.

An uncle, Vern R. Kelly, deputy sheriff at Kalispell, was here Sunday and reported the father would arrive late Sunday from Browning. When word was sent out of the fire damage and the first reports of injured, Sheriff Dick Walsh, Flathead county, came here with blood plasma from Kalispell and White-fish hospitals. Eureka, in northern Montana, six miles from the Canadian border. Is now without telephone communication.

The only teleDhone the town had was in the hotel. Sunday's fire occurred while smoke was still coming from a fire of Thursday night, a half block from the hotel when three business places were wiped out in a 12 degree below zero weather. Like Sunday's fire it was on Main street and destroyed Hank's barber shop, Betty's Kul shop and Stark's lunch room. Less than a month ago the American Legion hall went up in smoke. No causes were found for any of the fires.

One other tragedy of the past week here was the death Thursday night of Mrs. Mary Pomeroy, 76, who died of burns when her clothing caught fire as she stood too near a stove at her home. Her death oc-cured on the night of the fire which burned out the business block. south of the town still were plugged. Anderson, said his reconnaissance survev shows there are 30.000 tons of hay, 13,000 tons of it in alfalfa, available in Montana, most of it in the southwest.

And some counties did not report, Anderson said. He said he already has received inquiries for hay from Phillips and Hill counties. Anderson said he was informed by telephone from Glacier county that a survey of the neea lor hav was imrjossible at this time be cause of blocked roads, but that one will be made as soon as the roacts are open. Anderson said he is working with N. E.

Beers of Bozeman, acting director of the state extension serv-ifip on a detailed survev of both need and supply of hay. County ex tension agents will report directly to Anderson as to the location, amount and kind of hay available in every county, and whether It Is baled or loose. Inquiries for hay should be sent to Anderson at the Capitol. He will then direct the needy areas to the closest supply. Says H-Bomb May Give New Hope (Continued From Page One) "Which it could be, if they would meet with us and agree not to produce it, not -to build plants for pro ducing it, and permit the kind of Inspection necessary so we would know, as well as they, that all of us were keeping the faith and that no hydrogen bombs were in existence." In calling for drafting of evacuation plans, Tydings said enemy planes carrying super-destructive hydrogen bombs could wipe out the entire population of large cities if they got through our defenses4 "That means that a plan must be worked whereby our police and firemen, our school teachers and other like officials can evacuate the school children and others without having confusion and riots which would de feat the whole plan.

"It would be impossible, of course. to evacuate everybody from a large city, but it would be foolish not to try to get everyone out you can. If you could get 15 or 20 per cent of the people out, at least you would itheir opponents never recovered from shock.
