GI RECREATION HALL STOPPED

Patients at Billings Wonder What Happened to Hospital Program,

By HENRY BUTLER Billings hospital patients are wondering why their recreation hall has been blacked out by recent war department orders to cease construction. Enlargement of the Billings recreation hall was begun several months ago as part of a layge pro-

program included a new surgical pavilion and a new library, both of ‘which have been completed. But the recreation hall, where patients used to see first-run movies twice a week and USO-Camp shows at frequent intervals, as well as many programs by volunteer enter-

But those who can walk and who want to see standard films have about a half-mile trek to the nearest post theater.

But they wonder why the sudden rush of economy that has clamped down on their entertainment.

New Notre Dame Teacher Will Expose ‘Communist Lust for Power.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 13 (UP.).—Lotis F. Budenz, former Communist. editor, planned a nation-wide tour today to denounce Communism.

Budenz said in a press conference yesterday that known Communist leaders in the United States get their orders from someone higher. Budenz resigned from the Commuynist party and as managing editor of its official newspaper this week to rejoin the Catholic church. He vigorously denounced Commu-~ nism during the press conference arranged after he arrived here to become an instructor at Notre Dame university. Budenz, who said he turned Communist in 1935 under influence of the political party's “People’s Front,” was asked if Communism in America wag directed from Moscow. Although he skirted questions about most personalities in the organization he had repudiated, he answered: “Earl Browder and others get orders from somewhere—but I do not know where.” He was not “prepared,” he added, “to attack Communists as individuals.” Scores Ideology Browder recently was disposed as head of the Communist party in this country. Of the Communistic ideology, Budenz was more outspoken. Communism, he said, destroyed the “thinkand integrity of the individual.” “The averdgd Communist, no matter how much his desire for integriiy, tends to become a puppet,” Budenz said. “He mutters phrases which he does not fully understand and he commits himself to actions of which he knows not their objec-

By UNITED PRESS A possible truck transportation tie-up of 49.6 per cent of Indiana communities loomed today as the negotiating committee of the Indi-

ana Motor Truck Operators association prepared for a conference with A, F. of L, Teamsters’ leaders in Chicago Monday, The A. F, of L, Teamsters union, headed by Daniel J. Tobias, has just filed for strike votes among employees of 3190 trucking companies in Indiana, Ohio and 10 other Mid~ western states, This means that NLRB, if it follows the law, will have to add 3180 more strike polls to an election schedule which in some areas already has forced cessation of all other board business. J. E. Nicholas, executive -secretary of the Indiana truckers group, stated today that 1580 Hoosier communities are entirely dependent on motor transportation, A possible strike affecting the 27,500 trucks, trailers and semitrailers now hauling food and manufactured products throughout Indiana might have “serious effects,” Mr. Nicholas said.
