mighty Hugh Casey, long time
favorites in Flatbush, lifted the
fading Brooklyn Dodgers off the
floor today with the power and
pitching that blasted the New
York Yankees 8 to s and
squared the World Series at
three games all.
For it was little Pee-Wee, the
Dodgers steady shortstop, who
came through with a tWo-rrn
double which ultimately proved
TO be the ball game before a
roaring record crowd of 1905
fans.
Ard it was Casey, who twice
before in this hectic series had
gone in to still the DO oming bats
of the Bronx Bombers, who
strobe in through the purple
haze of evening and slammed
the door on the Yankees.
They were the big ones in the
longest nine inning game IN the
history of the classic, an ever
changing battle which took
three hours and 10 minutes and
broke the record these same

Sen. Eleanor Bridenstine was

AS a counter to the education COM
mittee's report that the bill "be not

say that it applies to small power
utilities; it applies to utilities of all
kinds, large and small. If this bill
becomes a law, the construction OF
Canyon Ferry dam. Hungry Horse and
rural electrification projects will be
confronted with the situation where,
if it is necessary to acquire, either
by condemnation or by purchase, or
otherwise, any property of an exist
ing utility, it may not be possible
to do so. If Senate Bill 80 becomes
a law, it may prohibit the electrical
authority from acquiring such prop !
erty Under the rural identification
law, it might be impossible to obtain /
money from the federal government !
to develop these projects, because
REA loan policy provides that the I
borrower, such as the rural electrifi- /
cation project, must have the exclu I
sive right to deliver power in its own (
particular territory. The net result
is that all of those projects, Canyon
Ferry, Hungry Horse and REA may
be jeopardized if Senate Bill 80 be-
comes law.
The only reason advanced for pass
ing Senate Bill 80 is to remove some
vague threat to "a men in the state
of Montana. Shall we jeopardize our
future because of some formless fears
for the interests Of this small group?
I might add that there are grave
doubts as to the constitutionality of
Senate Bill 80, and contrary to what
its proponents say, the powers of the
State Electrical Authority in it's pres
ent form are no greater than those
exercised by the state in similar mat
ters ;
Following our attempt to defeat
Senate Bill 80 in the House, our local
newspaper, the Helena Independent
