The Herald laments that only 48.6 percent of Yellowstone County voters chose primary candidates, arguing a small group controls county politics and stressing primaries shape state and county leadership. The piece calls the situation a crying shame for the state’s largest Montana county.
The piece notes a shift as Russia halts chrome and manganese shipments to the United States and Stillwater county, Montana, holds about 75 percent of U S chrome deposits. It cites a Senate move to repurchase chrome mine buildings, a $15 million concentrating plant, and a 50 000 ton chrome ore stockpile to defend and boost peacetime industry.
A collage of odd notes and humor fills this Billings Herald pages. A carnival worker complains of stolen clothing worth 8225. Jokes about parking meters Broadway musicians and a war bonnet for President Truman mix with poems, editorials, and anecdotes from local readers.
Bennett Willis Jr of the United World Federalists defends the organization against local attacks. He argues UWF has no derogatory information from U S authorities and condemns calls to join anti federal fronts.
