Stassen, former Min-| nesota governor now campaigning! for the Republican presidential nomination, predicted today that less than 71 electoral colege votes will separate the major parties after the November elections. Stassen, making a luncheon address during a visit to Montana State University, said that Montana was one of the 11 western states “which should be won by our Republican party in the national election in November. “These 11 western states will have 71 electoral vptes,” said Stassen, “and the indications at this time would be that the final margin of victory for the national election will be less than this number . . . “It is my hope that our national convention in Philadelphia will adopt such a positive and for-ward-looking program, and will so recognize in definite terms the constructive interests of the growing west . . . that the foundation will be laid decisively to win every one of these states for the Republican party in the final election.” Earlier, Stassen urged that Americans support the principles set forth by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in his final report as chief of staff to President Truman. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatui

Double Dealing On Palestine Charged [ State Department Assailed By Solon Washington, Feb. 17. —(UP) — ' Rep. Noah M. Mason, R., 111., to--1 day accused the state department and the British foreign office of ’ “double-dealing” on the partition 1 of Palestine. He said both are seeking to null- • ify the United Nations partition decision. 1 Mason’s attack on the state • department brought a rejoinder from Democratic leader Sam Ray-! burn of Texas. “I desire to say, ” Rayburn said, “if this had come from a less ■ prominent member of the house I would let it pass. When he accus- • ed the state department of the United States of double-dealing, it ’ makes good reading to every enemy of democracy in the world.” Mason told the house Great • Britain is selling arms and amunition to the Arab states; making ’ it possible for them to defy and ' “effectively oppose” the UN’s par tition plan. 1 “Our state department.” he continued. “has placed an embargo upon the shipment and sale of ’ arms and ammunition to the Jews in Palestine. This makes it im- ’ possible for the Jews there to implement the decision of the UN or to defend themselves effectiveI ly against the attacks of the Arabs. “Both Great Britain and the United States are active members of the UN and are parties to Hie decision to partition Palestine and set up an independent Jewish state. In fact, according to rumor, we practically forced the decision through the UN council. Both Great Britain and the United States are therefore morally bound to do what ihey can t<s implement that decision. “This is a clear case of double talk and double dealing on the part of our state department and Ihe British foreign office. Here we have the two leading nations that helped to establish the UN giving lip service to the UN , decision, yet by their actions seeking to nullify that decision and prevent it from being carried out . . . “Before adopting the Marshall plan congress should demand an explanation from the state department of its attitude in this matter. And before we give further aid to Great Britain through the Marshall plan we should insist that she carry out her UN I obligations.” o j Trade In a Good Town — Decatur Berne School Choir Sings In Operetta Berne, Feb. 17 — More than 50 members of the Berne high school a capella choir will participate in the operetta, “Princess Ting Ah Ling” which will be given at the Berne Auditorium tonight and Thursday night at 7:45.

“It has been said over and over again that women control the bulk of the nation’s wealth.” He said, "they certainly channel its day-to-f day spending for food, for cloth- ’- ing, for education, for al! the things i that make for better living.” Then the president urged Amer--1 ican women to go all-out in the ’, fight against inflation by using e their power as consumers. e “This weapon which you can use together,” he said, “to combat one of the enemies that now threaten us — the high cost of living.” The president also asked leaders of women’s organizations to make it their “special responsibility" to work for peace and against low living standards. 0 • New England's hens lay more than 200,000,000,000 eggs per month, while the area’s hatcheries _ hatch about 3,500,000 chicks per i month.
