72 FARMS OPENED
Washington J The Re
clamation Bureau announced
today that 72 farm units on the
Minidoka federal reclamation
project in Southern Idaho have
been opened to homestead
settlement.
The defeated bill, passed by
the house, increased benefits
for workmen suffering from
temporary total disability with
a total estimated annual cost
from the workmens' compen
sation fund of $184,000.
The bill proposed to grant
an Increase for single work
men from $110 to 117
month; a man with a wife from
$130 to $137; and a man and
wife with one child from S190
to $157 with $19 additional for
each child up to eight children.
Senator Phil Hitchock, a
member of the committee de
clared that even though work
men compensation benefits
had increased 100 per cent in
all categories, such benefits
have not kept pace with in
creased cost of living or in
creased wages.
We have increased the sal
aries of our high officials and
top administrators and yet this
is the only increase in benefits
to workmen and it amounts in
cost to only of one per cent
oi me total contributions to the
fund.
However, the bill went down
to defeat with only 12 senators
-Eugene Allen, Jack Bain,
Phil Brady, Dean Bryson, Phil
HltcncocK, Robert Holmes,
John Housell, Fred Lamport,
Richard Neuberger, and Doug
las x eater voting in its favor.
Another bill which dealt
with hazardous occupations on
farms brought a long discus
sion but finally was passed by
a vote of 17 to 13.
The purpose of the bill was
to bring farmers who engage
outside nelp to log off trees on
the farm under the act but ex
empt such a farmer if he uses
his own farm help to do the
logging.
Opponents of the bill con
tended that it would bring such
high rate that farmers, instead
of using expert help, would use
farm labor, not experienced.
with the result that accidents
would increase. , -

Those favoring the bill coun
tered with the argument that
tne Dili did not actually change
the farmers status as he is al
ready responsible for his em
ployes but passage of the bill
would bring about inspection
by the accident commission
which would result in greater
safety measures that would re
duce accidents. -
Among the administrative
bill passed in the 'package'
were bills which would give
tne commission 60 days in
which to process claims instead
of 30; revises benefit schedules
for workman suffering loss of
fingers; increases benefits to
eight children in a family in
stead of four in the case of
permanent disability cases; ex
empting third class school dis
tricts from the minimum hour
law.
One bill which met with no
opposition was one which eli
minates necessity of making
monthly reports by employers
who make advance payments
based on estimates. It was
pointed out that monthly re
ports now required is working
hardship on many of the
smaller employers. The - bill
also gives the commislon power
to make estimates of payrolls
in cases where employers fail
to report, which would result
in speedier court action against
those employers who failed to
follow the law. -.

Jet interceptor squadrons depend upon twift telephone communication to hdp thtm guard the tkiet of the Pacific Wat.
HOW THE AIR DEFENSE UMBRELLA PROTECTS THE WEST
Telephone service forms a reliable communications framework that helps it work
1. Up and down the Pacific West, like one vast,aerial umbrella,
the jet interceptors of the Western Air Defense force whisk over
head. They're ready to intercept any unidentified aircraft reported
by radar and ground observers. And a vital link in this great defense
chain is fast, reliable telephone communications. Early warning
radar stations are connected to Air Defense Direction Centers by
telephone. Again, the telephone carries the word from the ADDC
to Air Force interceptor aircraft and anti-aircraft batteries. ..over a
giant web of circuits that makes the Air Force the largest user of
Pacific Telephone private line service.
v
if
2. When tiny "blips" appear on a radaf operator's
cope, there's no time to watt. And the operator is no
farther from the Direction Center than the telephone
headset he wean. Telephone facilities more than 36,000
circuit miles of private line telephone channels, and a
vast teletypewriter network link together all the far
flung installations of tho Western Air Defense Force, and
are rWy, too, to warn dviliana oi poaaibU attack.
3. "Operation Sky watch" also does a big job ... at civ
ilian volunteers scan Western skies. This corps of ground
observers is on the job around the clock watching for
low flying aircraft that could be missed by the radar
screens of the Pacific West. Their reports, too, travel by
telephone . . . for, of course, swift, reliable communications
are needed to make their job e6rective...and to help keep
our air umbrella up. v v
0er 2,000,000 calls
for servicemen last year
At Army, Air Force, Marine Corpt
- and Naval centers all over the
West, telephones are ready to
carry important personal mes
sages for the men and women in our
armed services. Last year, mora
than 2,00d,000 calls were made
from these centers to loved one
and friends all over the nation.
