Since last weeks airing of SB25, demands have
been coming into this office from many parts of the
state that full public hearings be held this black
door, proposal to set up un-American activities
committee in Montana While it seems impossible
that any bloc of Montana citizens other than the
top brass of the American Legion, would give SER
ous consideration to such legislation there is def
nitely merit in demands for such a hearing. Not
only would such procedure likely put squarely into
the record the names of many super Americans
in Montana who would nullify the Bill of Rights but
also it would permit the general public comprehen-
sve knowledge of this form bill that apparently
floated in from California
Likewise, such hearing could we'll force leaders
of the Montana legion to put up shut up in their
irresponsible attacks other citizens and organ-
cations within the state To be blunt, such hearing
might we'll bring out that Legion Security Chair

the present maximum is not sufficient to meet
total medical-hospital costs and, disabled
workmen after having received prolonged
treatment are faced with paying heavy bills
out of their observation-disclosures weekly
benefits
This measure is okeh as far as it goes
only trouble is-it just don't go far enough.
A checkup with proper officials reveals that
disability cases are not unusual when even
thousand dollar allowance is far from suffi-
cient to cover medcal-hospital costs-eyen
after the Industrial Accident Board has sub
stantialy chopped down claims submitted by
some few members of the medical fraternity.
While it is true that if ceilings on med
ical-hospital aid were lifted there would be
a great temptation on the part of some mem
bers of the medical arts to tax the board to
the point of gouging, the board has it within
its power to reduce claims to reasonable
level, and the record shows that this has been
done on many occasions. However, there is
something far more important than just this
matter of medical-hospital charges. 1t in
wolves a broad change in our entire concept
of the responsibility of industry and the state
toward men who, through industrial disa-
biity, are no longer able to be gainfuly en-
ployed
1t is conceded that when man is dis
abled through an industrial accident, it then
becomes the obligation of the industry and
the state to make up at least in part for the
wages he is unable to earn while disabled
Why then is it not the complete and final re-
sponsibility of industry and state to also bear
the entire cost of medical and hospital bills

CITY
ADDRESS

that may be incurred because of such in
dustrial accident?
While on this matter of disabled workers,
there is also something else that should be
considered and corrected.
1t is now too late to do anything about
the disgracefully low increase in weekly
benefits, since both houses have approved
the "sop" of $3.50 which powerful members
of the third house" acquiesced to- But,
there is room for further disability legisa-
ton concerning the length of time perma-
nently, total disability workers may draw
compensation. At the present time such
compensation has statutory limit of 500
WeekS-almost ten years Such limitation
while working no hardship on a disabled
worker who dies within the 500 weeks, is
certainly not in the realm of reality for the
one who may live longer than 912 years-or
for his wife and family. The current legis-
lature has extended from 400 to 500 weeks
the maximum period of benefit eligibility for
the dependents of workers killed in an in
dustrlal accident, and that is commendable
But, nothing to date has been done toward
llberallzing the time period for those perma-
nently disabled and their families, though
their condition is economically more severe
than in the instances when the breadwinner
is killed. Since workers of their own wolf
ton do not get themselves permanently dis
abed, and there is no magic formula that the
board or industry can employ to see that he
dies within the 500 weeks, legislation is in
order to amend existing laws that benefits
may be paid to a disabled worker and de-
pendents for as long as he may live.

CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE LAUNCHES PETITION
DRIVE AGAINST PROPOSED COMMITTEE

Cognizant of the threat that exists
to the civil liberties of Montana citi-
zens and the people of the nation as
whole, the Montana Civil Rights
tcommittee, which was established by
the State Legislative Co-ordinating
Conference in December, this week
issued the following letter requesting
signing petitions by all those who
are DESTROYS of preserving civil lib
critics. The letter follows:
Civil rights, long a proud posses
sion of the American people, are be-
ing imperiled in this state by the
pending establishment of Montana
un-American Activities committee,
under the guise of proposed State
Legislative Council legislation (SR-
|25).
Selfish interests are trying to take
away the last vestige of our Civil
Rights by asking our legislature to
establish witch-hunting un-Ameri-
can Activities committee patterned
after the congressional committee.
No small group of people should be
allowed to determine whose thoughts
are right or whose ideas are wrong.
Such a committee would establish a
pattern of frightening, thus silen-
cling, any opinions of opposition, an
of our right to free
dom of thought and expression.

available, through our trial and
jury system, to provide for in
quiry into and disposition of sus-
pected behaviors.
The signatures of you and your
friends are needed to indicate to our
state legislature that Montana peo-
pie can handle their own affairs and
look after their own interests and
that we will not be dictated to in
anything as basic as civil rights.
You can be of immeasurable help
to our committee, and to yourselves.

people who quote Scripture the
devil took the words out of their
context and gave them a false
meaning. Jesus knew the Psalm,
and, though he quoted from an
other part Of the Scripture, he
expressed the conditions, as stat
ed in the Psalm, under which
Gods strength and deliverance
are available.
Psalm 8:2 is quoted in Matthew
21:16. Jesus had cleanse6 the
Temple of those who had COM
mercialized it. For a short time
he was in charge of the Temple.
In this temporary interval its
highest purpose was realized. It
became the seat of beneficial
deeds and of praise to the Deliv-
erer. The shouts of praise on the
lips of children was holier than
the ritual intonations of the un-
worthy priests.
Jesus turned to the Psalms
(8:2) for a thought and an ex-
preston to fit the occasion.
Psalms 110:1 is another pas
sage that is given a place in the
Gospels (Matthews 22:41-44;
Mark 1886; Luke 20:21-43).
In the 10th Psalm a political
leader is pictured. Jesus accepted
the general hope as presented in
this Psalm but made it clear that
he was not a son-of-David, type
of Messiah. The Jews used this
designation to signify a Messiah
who would be an ideal earthly
king. Jesus said in effect that he
himself was more than an heir
of David's glory. His true author
ity came not from Davidic an
cestry but from his relation to
God.
Psalms 118:22-23 provides a
striking illustration of the career
of Jesus. 1t contains the we'll
known account of the stone, once
rejected, which became the chief
cornerstone. All the Synoptic
Gospels quote these verses, ap-
plying them to the rejection and
later exaltation of Jesus. (Mat-
thew 21:42; Mark 12:10-11; Luke
20:19).
The "Passion Psalm"
No Psalm is as hallowed be-
cause of its use by Jesus as is the
twenty-second. The words from
the cross in Matthew 27:46 are
the first verse of this Psalm.
Many of the other statements in
later verses fit into the suffering
on the cross so well that it is
quite possible that Jesus was
thinking of the, entire Psalm. It
is worthy of note that the poig-
nant sufferings in the picture
given by the psalmist end with
a sense of triumph.
In temptation, in deepest suf-
fering, in affirming his own true
nature-in these and other mean
ingful ways Jesus found the
Psalms a great resource.
Why do you think Jesus quot
ed from the Psalms? Can we use
the Psalms in the same way he
did? Are there some Psalms
Jesus could not have used? If
so, what are they?-W. r.

JESUS KNEW THEM
THE GREATEST tribute to the
Psalms is the fact that they were
quot ed frequently by Jesus
Christ. His use of the Psalms was
not simply for purposes of re-
peating some expressions famil-
lar to the people. His own spirit
ual life was enriched by this
great book of hymns and medi-
tations.
There are many actual quota
tions from the Psalms in the Cos
pels, especially Matthew, Mark,
and Luke. But it should be rec
ognized that the influence of the
Psalter was not confined to the
specific quotations.
The Thread of Hope
One of the most significant
features we meet constantly in
the Psalms is steady faith and
unfailing hope.
AS we have seen from previous
lessons, the Psalms have many
authors in different periods of
time. Psalms that carry the head
ing "of David" belong to the
Davidic collection but were not
necessarily written by David. In
all the different periods the va
rious authors had common bond
in their firm faith and hope.
The Hebrews suffered as few
nations have suffered. They en-
dured the oppressive rule of for
eigners, they had their religion
Knocked at, they went through
numerous experiences that might
easily have shattered their con-
fidence.' Though they often sat
in darkness, they never lost hope
that the light would dawn. They
remembered the good things God
had done for them in the past.
= Each generation felt that the
time was near for new manifeS-
tationS of Gods concern.
Many Psalms are messianic in
the broad and general sense.
They may not make reference to
the Messiah by that name. Little
attention is given to the exact
means by which the great day
of the Lord is to come. But they
keep bright the hope that God
will show forth his salvation.
The psalmist shared the belief
that the evil their eyes beheld
would be punished, and right
eousness would ultimately pre-
vail.
Hope Realized
The general references in the
Psalms to the future hope Of the
nation are of great interest. to us
because of our fuller knowledge
of their personal significance for
Jesus of Nazareth.
The strong expectation of the
psalmists found their fulfill
ment, so Christians believe, in
Jesus, the Messiah. While the
