ssThe government operates the

Vernon Expldins
Missouri Bdsin
Development Pldn

"The Yellowtail project is the
key to all other development
projects in the lower Yellow
stone, the Tongue river and the
Powder river areas" said Ken
meth Vernon, director of Region
6, Bureau of Reclamation, who
addressed members of the Har-
din Lions club at their regular
meeting last Monday evening.
The director explained that
the Yellowtail project in itself is
only a small part of tht Miss
ouri Basin plan, which covers
nine states.
MI. Vernon gave a brief his
tory of the Missouri Basin de-
Velopment plan from it's insti-
cation up to the present time,
telling of the work that has
been done and plans for the i'm
mediate future. He spoke of the
intricate problems connected
with the work and added that
many of. these problems must
be solved by the people in the
areas involved through their
representatives in the Federal
government.
He explained the Missouri de-
velopment project as a whole
and showed how the various in
diVidual projects are dependent
upon one another. He explained
the basis upon which prefer
ence is given to certain pro-
jectS of the Missouri basin.
The development of irriga-
ton projects on the Yellow
stone, Powder and Tongue riv-
ers is dependent upon power
for pumping, MIR. Vernon said.
Energy for those projects will
be made available by construct
ion of YelloWtail dam.
He pointed out the necessity
of utilizing all the potential
power possibilities in the con-
Struction of any project and
cited Fort Peck dam in northern
Montana as an example of
wasted potential power due to
failure to fully plan for power
during the construction of that
project.
Development of available pow
er in any project is the feature
that makes the project financ-
tally sound, MIR. Vernon said.
The director said he believes
the chances for securing con-
struction funds for the Hardin
CYellowtail) project next year
are very good. He said the Bu-
reau of Reclamation is hoping
for it, but that the people must
also work toward that end if
the funds are to be secured.
MI. Vernon was introduced by
Robert Herdman, regional di-
rector. Bureau of Reclamation,
of Hardin.
New members taken into the
club at the meeting were Ray
zelka of Hardin, L. C. Lippert,
superintendent of the Crow In
dian reservation, Crow Agency,
and Gordon Powers, employee
of the Indian Service, also of
Crow Agency. Lions President
John Bryant presented the new
members with Lions pins.
On the serving committee for
the evening were Floyd M. Stat
terry, Austin G.. Slattery, Elmer
Slattery, Elmer A. Skeie, Conrad
Seader and Dave Seader.

Ripping
of the Rivers

One of the most shameful
acts of vandalism conceivable
was brought to attention this
week.
Peace officers report that
Someone-probably youngsters
have been destroying property
at tine Hardin cemetery. OBJ
ViouSly with the use of small
caliber rifles tombstones have
been cracked and broken and
glass containers at graves have
been destroyed.
Chief of Police Ira Smith and
County sheriff Roy Riley said
that if the party or parties re-
sponsible are apprehended, they
will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
We sincerely hope that the
vandalS will be caught. We can
see no excuse for this type
deVilment. Anyone old enough to
use firearms can hardly be eX-
cused as not realizing the ex-
tent and seriousness of such de-
Struction. We hate to admit that
such a thing has happened in
our town.
It has been a long time since
we heard a speaker who was as
easy to listen to as the regional
director of the Bureau of Re-
clamation, Kenneth Vernon,
who addressed the Lions club
Monday night.
He had a knack for explain
ing things in simple terms leav-
ing little to be misunderstood
Although it sounds like an adj
mission to Simple-mindedneSS,
we really enjoy listening to such
a talk when we don't have to
beat OUR brains out figuring out
what the speaker is trying to
get across.
We came away enlightened on
a number of subjects connected
with the Missouri Basin DeVel-
opment plan (including the Vel
loWtall project) too, although we
have probably only scratched
the surface when 1t comes to
the technical matters involved.
-
The other day we heard a
radio program, Transcribed IN
Washington, D. c., sponsored by
the Navy Department, dedicated
to the state of Montana
The announcer described at
length the cattle industry in
Montana and spoke of the life
of the cowboy on the roundup
telling of the evenings around
the campfire and the singing.
The buiIdup was an Introduce
ion to the next song on tine
program.
Inc Song-"Shortnin' Bread"
We're betting the fellow who
planned that program had never
been west of the Appalachians.
There isn't much that COM
pareS with a drive through the
Little Horn or Big Horn valleys
about this time of year. The
only improvement that could be
made that we can see is more
oiled roads.
This week we welcome a new
correspondent to the staff. She
is Mrs. Carl K. Aldrich of BuSby.
Mrs. Aldrich is an, old hand at
the reporting game, having been
correspondent for various papers
for a number of years. She will
be glad to receive any news

Housing Bill
Nearing Vote

WASHINGTON, April 7 (LPA)
Sen. Charles Tobey (R., N. H. }
is a cheerful, even-tempered
man, but last week he became
irate enough on several occa
sions to read lectures to the
members of his Senate Banking
Committee. Subject of hearings
before the group was set of
amendments to the Taft -Ellender.
Wagner housing bill, once ap-
proved by the committee, now
back for a brush-up and bring
ing up to date.
A stubborn minority coalition
led by Sen. Joseph Mccarthy (R.,
Wis } and Sen. Willis Robertson
3D., Va,), insisted on repeating
over and over again the argu.
ments of the real estate lobby
opposing public housing. McCar-
thy has been maneuvering to
kill the public housing provision
of the T.E,W bill, providing for
federal financing of local hous-
ing projects to house 100000
loW-income families.
The majority of the committee
is expected again to approve the
T-E-W measure, with the amend
mentS which have been prepared
by Sen. Ralph Flanders (R., N.
H.) as the result of months of in
vestigation and study by a spe-
cial Senate-House committee on
Housing. Flanders amendments
are all acceptable to the authors
of the bill except for one extend.
ing the present liberal basis of
US-insured housing
loans, which Taft believes is in
flationary.
Tobey predicts that the Bank.
ing Committee will report the
bill to the floor of the Senate
within the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, Robertson just as
confidently predicts that "the|
House won't touch the public
features. The T.E.WI
measure has been bottled up by
the House Banking Committee,
but a petition to discharge the
committee is gaining new sigma
lures of members of the House
daily.

Landlords After
Control Se+ups

WASHINGTON, April 7 GPA)
For the first time, tenants can
actually check on whether or not
their area rent control boards
are representative" as required
by law. While the fight over
whether present rent control
staff would be retained despite
landlord lobby pressure, and
whether Acting Housing Expe-
diter Tighe Woods would draw
up a water-tight definition of
adequate and substantial evi.
dence' he will require before al.
lowing rent boosts, this much
was clear.
A representative" board will
be made up of one landlord
spokesman, one tenant spokes-
man, and three public interest"
representatives, or members in
these proportions, Woods has
ruled. Woods has started a sur.
vey of all boards to see if they
meet requirements; if they don't,
he'll notify the governor, who is
expected to make adjustments;
if the governor doesn't act in 80
days, Woods will make such ap-
pointmentS.
