Marks Birthday MOHTAKA POL ICEMUT5 111 lies MI Chief of Police Roger Smith announced yesterday that the Police Radio ball held February 22 netted the department $394, making the event one of the most successful both from financial and entertainment standpoints held during the past several years. Hundreds Helena dance patrons attended the 193S annual ball, not only because of the entertainment features it offered but also because they realized the potentialities of a police shortwave radio system In Helena and desired to assure the department that such installation would become a reality.

Will be Improved Chief Smith said the department elated to learn that the net profit from the dance was $394, only a few dollars short of the estimated cost the system that will be installed here, and wished to extend its appreciation to those who made the dance a success The HAWKINSON SAYS PETTENGILL MEASURE SHOULD BE PASSED type of radio that be used here will be that which can be 'mproved as the department secures additional funds, although the $400 set will care for the present needs. The police chief explained that he could not predict when the shortwave system would be installed but that he would make immediate application with the federal communications commission for a license If the application is approved, which is expected, a license will be granted and installation begun shortly thereafter. Chief Smith said he expects to see the set In operation within from 60 to 90 days, depending on the action taken by the federal commission.

New Spring Footwear Styles at Fligelman's Feature Daintiness It been In the air for months now this business of "refeminizlng" the sex putting women back Into "lavendar and lace." Now spring footwear finishes the Job.

The styles are positively dripping with dalntlnecB simply beautiful shoes that will make Cinderellaa of all. The new spring Jacqueline, Natural Poise and Connie Shoes at Fllgelman's are the epitome of femininity, and typify all that shoe designeda have tried to do this season.

But any extravagance will pay triple-fold for no Prince Charm- nf can possibly resist these adorable slippers! Washiugton, March Labeling the long-and-nhort-hau clause of the interstate commerce act "an obstacle to commerce," G. Hawkinson, assistant to traffic manager of the Chicago Great Western railroad, Friday advocated the enactment of the Pettenglli bill to enable the railroads to "serve the public interest more fully and effectively." Testifying before the senate committee on Interstate commerce on behalf of the railroads operating west of Chicago and east of the Rocky mountains, Hawkinson said that continuance in the law of the present clause is "wholly unnecessary" and limits the opportunities of the railroads to com pete for traffic. Jfecd Recognized "Congress has alwajs recognized the need for an adequate and efficient transportation service," he declared. "This can be had only if all parts of the transportation machine are vigorous and healthy.

This general state of transportation health can best be brought about by conditions that permit the freest movement of commerce and that do not" needlessly restrict ind hamper eome parts of the machine through the enforcement of rigid and arbitrary rules." Instead of having 'a beneficial effect, the witness stated, the ciause "merely slows up the work of making necessary and appro- jriate changes in rates, adds to he complexity of tariffs, increases the difficulties of their use and mposes an unnecessary and unproductive expense upon the railroads In the compilation, printing, posting and distribution of their ariffs." He added that "the re- expense to shippers and the government Is not unimportant." Hawkinson called the committee's attention to the fact that since the clause waa originally written Into the act, the powers and dutiet of the Interstate commerce commiMlon have been greatly enlarged. Two sections which hare been placed in the law give that body the power of suspension and the authority to prescribe minimum aa well aa maximum rates. Therefore, he held, the long-and-short-haul provision no useful purpose. Industries located west of Lake Michigan- and east of the Rocky mountaius would find the passage of the propoMd measure advantageous in that It would permit the rail carrlen to establish reasonable competitive rates to coast terminals, Hawkinson testified. This, he continued, would In mid- west industries being able to compete more fairly with similar industries situated at points closer to water transportation, and would also make It possible for them to meet foreign competition more effectively.

Defeat Purpose Whenever competitive situations arise," Hawkinson concluded, 'quick action is usually necessary on the part of the railroads to meet them; but more often than not the requirements of the long-and- short-haul clause have the effect of defeating the purpose of the rail carriers. In such cases, the detriments to the railroad inure not to ho benefit of the shipping public, ut only to the railroad's compet- ng form of transportation, whether it be the water carriers, motor trucks or pipe lines. "Rescinding the long-and-short- laul clause cannot possibly result injury to any community or to any individual. Every locality and every shipper would still be fully protected under other lections of tbe act. The fairness of the.

railroads' request to amend the law i obvious when one considers that no other form of competitive transportation la burdened or hampered by like rules and conditions."
