RE ESTATES
Let's Not Play "Sucker" To Montana Power Go.

AS loyal Montanans interested in protect
ing our states rights" our first reaction is
that Nebraska is given an unfair advantage
over the other Missouri valley states and that
something must be done to correct the stu
alton. Obviously the thing to do is to revamp
pertinent provisions of the laws concerning
preference in sale and distribution of such
publicly produced power-OR is 1T?
Should such preference rating be amend
ed out by the congress what then would hap
pen SO far as public distribution of cheap
power in Montana is concerned? Do we have
outside of % REA lines, any other publicly
owned system for distributing power to Mon
tana consumers? Would not such legislation
afford Montana Power Co. the greatest OPP
portunlty in it's history to financially entrench
itself for years to come, along with its high
rate structure?
1t would appear that before we lend our
voice to any move that might lead to knock
ing out the preference" provisions of feder-
al power legislation, that we first take a
few precautionary measures on the state lev
ell. We should first put into our state statutes,
laws that will make it possible for the people
to throw off the yoke of the power monopoly.
This is to say that Montana lawmakers should
draft and approve legislation providing the
machinery for establishing Public Utility
Districts. (Such law might we'll be pattern
ed after the time-tested law of the state of
Washington.)
Without some form of PUD machinery
first being placed in the statutes, believe
that all of us may be playing right into the
hands OF the power trust in prematurey in
sisting on our sacred states rights concern
ing our potential power resources.
Certainly, we all want Montana people to
receive their just share of the power-but-
we don't want them to have to pay through
the nose to Montana Power Co. in order to re-
celve the benefits of such power policy of
permitting middlemans ''rake-off'' on ev-
cry klowatt of power made possible only
through expenditure of tax dollars, would be
most discriminatory and economically un-
sound for the future welfare of our state.

1t is very commendable that everyone of
us, as loyal Montanans interested in the fut-
ure development and prosperity of our state,
should be greatly concerned about a fair dis
tribution of our water and power resources
However, in our zealousness to protect these
vital resources, we must not permit oursel-
yes to unknowingly play the game of the
power trust
To the point At issue presently is the al
location of publicly-produced power among
the several Missouri valley states
Federal laws concerning distribution of
such power give preference to municipalities,
rural co-operatives and other publicly-owned
bodies. Nebraska by virtue of the fact that
it is an entirely public power" state there
fore is in highly preferential position to Sc
cure all the publicly produced power it may
need

New Ang|o-|ran Pact
On Oil Held Killed by
.Teheran Fi|ibuster
By the Associated Press

TEHERAN. Iran, July ga
government spokesman told Par
lament Tuesday night that a
minority filibuster had killed
chances OF ratification of the new
Anglo Iranian oil agreement.
Although details of the new
agreement had not been made
public, it was reported reliably it
called for an increase of so per
cent in royalty payments made by
the Anglo -Iranian Oil Co. to the
government Of Iran.
Finance Minister Abbas Col
shayan told Hossein Maxi. leader
of the minority opposition in Par
lament, that the groups filibus-
tering tactics had ruled out rati-
fication at this session.

Parliament did not sit yesterday

cials said today the 600-acre site
had not been selected.
The station itself, including a
building, powerhou>e and garage
power facilities, telephone cable
facilities and one mile of improved
road would cost $796.000. Land
acquisition at 100000. quarters
for six families costing $4,000
and barracks for rs enlisted per-
sonnel at $190,500 make up the
balance of the request
Present Sites Held Unsuitable.
The Army. explaining the ne
cessity for the station, said the
work load now is divided between
two locations at Fort Myer and at
Battery Cove, which is located
south of Alexandria at Jones
Point. Neither site is suitable for
a permanent transmitting station,
and during the war it ives neces-
sary to lease commercial equip
ment, it was said.
"A check has been made of all
Army posts in the vicinity of
Washington, and none of these has
a sufficiently level site available
for the antenna field" the Army
said. Likewise. the station cannot
be combined with the Navy trans
mittirg site at Annapolis Deca';se

also for the reason that 100 much

Plans call for installation of four
multi-channels and 20 single cir
cults in the new station in peace
time. A total of IL lti-channel
circuits would be required in an
emergency, it was said.

Under the same overall military
construction program, the Army
also proposes the expenditure OF
1854. 900 at La Plata, Md, inc!ud-
ing the building of a radio recelv-
ing station at 900. The bal
ance of the fund would be spent
for construction of family quart
er and barracks.
All the structures now at La
Plata are wartime temporary Wooc
shacks, which are deterloratlne
rapidly, the Army said. 1t pointed
out the value of equipment now
installed there, including anten'
mas, is in excess of $250,000.
The Army also would spend $94,-
600 on construction of wings ane
improvements to buildings at Ar.

ward, now working on secret pro-
jects.

Founded less than a year ago,
the Israel Music Foundation en-
tiers the year 5710 as one of the
most important cultural links be-
tween Israel and the rest of the
world.
The musical resurgence in Is
rael, the potentially great audi
ences for fine Israeli music, the
drama of the forging of new,
independent State, were all fac
tors, last year, in the decision of
a small group of men to form
the Foundation as a non-com-
mercial enterprise with the gen.
eral purpose of building a musi-
cal bridge between Israel and the
rest of the world - the United
States in particular. We felt
then, and still do, that no other
organization filled this need ade-
quately. Accordingly, a Board of
Trustees and a Repertoire Advis-
DRY Board were set up, offices
in New York City and in Tel
Aviv were established, and the
production of recordings was
begun. The matters of these rec
ords are made in Israel, and the
records are pressed in this
country.
Our recording repertoire rang
es from folk songs to liturgical
music, from patriotic songs and
marches to pastoral selections,
from modern compositions by
contemporary composer to
works Of the masters, and we
plan to record a complete cata-
logue of the finest of each type.

tivities 1t is a thrilling sight to
see the youth of Israel, dressed
in the sea uniforms of their org
anizations, swing along down the
streets of Tel Aviv or to watch
them man their sailboats in the
harbor or plunge into the water
in their races. You feel that here,
once again, the young Jewish
nation has found a new avenue
of strength and responsibility, a
new muscle that it must and shall
develop.
At the core of this stimulus is
the Israel Maritime League, an
organization of many thousands
of members in Israel, in England,
in South Africa, and now, for
the first time, in the United
States. Under the sponsorship
of the American Fund, the I.M.L.
has been launched in the United
States, sponsored by more than
twenty organizations - mostly
youth groups, because it will be
the youth that will conquer the
sea for Israel.
Israel is a small nation, COM
paratively speaking, small in size,
small in length and breadth, but
it is a giant of a nation in energy
and determination and with that
titanic strength it can become a
great maritime nation. A begin
ming has been made, a beginning
that has tremendous possibilities
that can be realized with the
assistance of our friends in the
United States and all over the
world.
