Tag Uv fhe Independent Record, Helena, Mont. Wednesday, June 20, 1081 Capital City News Several Hundred Admirers Attend Public Reception Honoring Rt Rev. Msgr. Emmet J. Riley Mr.

and Mrs. James of Billings visited friends in Hel state board of education and the state merit system council. Monsignor Riley had been a member of the education board since 1934 and the merit system council since 1940. Several out-of-town clergymen and Carroll alumni also were at the reception. College presidents in attendance included Dr.

Carl Mc-Farland of Montana State univer sity in Missoula and the Rt. Rev. Msgr. James J. Donovan of the College of Great Falls.

The reception was sponsored by Helena civic groups and businessmen. Michael A. Murphy was in charge of arrangements. Police Chief Fred Warns Public Against Peddlers A woman who forfeited a $50 bond for violation of peddling laws here is believed to be connected with another couple arrested in Missoula last night, Police Chief John Fred said today. The couple, who gave the name of Mr.

and Mrs. Williams, is wanted here on misrepresentation charges. Williams, who spoke with an English accent, sold material here for men's suits. The woman, who gave her name as Martha McMillan of Portland, was arrested Monday by Detective James illiams. She had sold a cheap, factory-made tablecloth for $85 after telling the buyer it was made of fine lace by Canadian nuns.

She was required to refund the money after her arrest and forfeited the bond posted in police court. She later visited the Williams at their tourist cabin and is believed to have traveled with them to Missoula, Fred said. M. Joe Miller Tells Lions About UCC Manpower Problems. The nation's manpower program must be designed to suit the needs of a free nation with free institutions, free traditions and democratic ways of doing things, M.

Joe Miller, chairman of the state unemployment compensation commission, told Helena Lions Tuesday. Speaking to the club at its weekly luncheon meeting, Miller said the manpower program must be "basically voluntary. It must be based on the consent and participation of the workers and employers who will be affected by It. Full capacity for production must come from a free determination to serve our national purpose." The UCC chairman listed six manpower problems which he said Montana and the nation will have to deal with this year: 1. Critical shortages in specific professions and skills, resulting in growing turnover problems and some pirating.

2. Growing shortages of "heavy labor" in. certain types of production centers. 3. Shortages of semiskilled workers in a growing number of areas.

4. Increasing difficulty in staffing and stabilizing employment in certain industries such as underground mining, lumbering and farming. 5. Staffing new employment establishments in sparsely populated areas. This includes vital atomic plant developments.

6. A growing need fdr training and intensified recruitment. Miller said the secretary of defense has directed the military departments to "pay attention to the availability of manpower in letting defense contracts." This policy is being followed, he said, because of the "industrial inefficiencies caused by needless migration and overcrowding of areas with the attendant increase in absenteeism and turnover." "I am sure you are interested in preventing such needless migration from Montana," Miller told the Lions. "This can be accomplished by establishing the work opportunity where the worker is instead of transporting the worker to areas already overcrowded and undesirable in housing and living facilities." Miller briefly outlined the structure and functions of the unemployment compensation commission before getting into his main text, the discussion of the manpower problems created by the partial mobilization. He said present defense production is aimed at a target of 20 per cent compared with the World war II requirement of 45 per cent of the gross national production.

Nevertheless, he said, local employment service offices "will give first attention to the labor needs of defense employers and essential activities." Guests at the meeting included Stanley Olson, and Noble P. Evans of Helena. Visiting Lions were Denver Young of Salem, and L. L. Labbitt of Great Falls.

Several hundred laymen, educators and members of the clergy attended a reception at Carroll college last night in honor of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Emmet J. Riley, retiring president of the college.

Monsignor "Riley, president of the college for 17 years, has been appointed pastor of St. John the Evangelist parish in Butte. The large reception room at Carroll was jammed between 8 and 10 o'clock last night with admirers, friends and colleagues who had come to wish the popular priest and educator well in his new assignment. In the receiving line with Mon signor Riley were members of his family including two sisters, Helen and Theresa Riley; his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.

Joseph Riley; nephew and two nieces, Jack, Winifred Lee and Julia Ann Connolly, all of Butte, and a brother-in-law and sister, Dr. and Mrs. Edward Neumann of Helena. Among those' attending were Gov. John W.

Olsen Rules on Fees For Officers in Juvenile Actions Sheriffs and probation officers may not be paid a per diem fee for testifying in a juvenlie proceeding, but they may collect mileage for the trip, Atty. Gen. Arnold H. Olsen ruled today for County Atty. Robert Hurly of Valley county.
