RETIRED WORKERS IN OTTAWA
COUNTY GET S19,475 MONTHLY

Social Security payments in
the Toledo area now amount to
S10,3338,912 a year." Wayne w.
Putnam, manager of the Social
Security office in Toledo, said to-
Gay. Those payments are being
made to 22,957 people in the ten.
county area we serve. Payments
to the 900 benefciaries in all
classes in Ottawa County amount
to $32,820 month, he said.
The average monthly payment
to the 449 retired workers in OF
tawa County is $43.37, total of
$19,475 month. This represents
an increase of about $40 a month,
and is due to the recent change
in the law. Other groups of
beneficiarieS receiving Federal
old-age and survivors insurance
checks each month are as fol.
lows: 888 widows and widowers,
145 wives and husbands past IS
or retired workers, 20 young wild.
ows with children under 18 in
their care, 1877 children under 18,
and 2 dependent parents.
Since last September when the
law was changed, the Toledo Of.
fee has processed 1858 claims
for benefit payments. This vol
ume has resulted mainly from
the lowering of eligibility re-
quirements. People now 81 years
of age or older need only one
and a half years of work in GOV.
cred jobs to become fully insur.
ed in the system at the age of 65
"Any individual now IS or
more who has had at least one
and half years of work in jobs
covered by Social Security is now
eligible for benefits unless he is
earning more than $50 month
in covered employment. They
should file their applications
promptly. Those rs or older
may now receive monthly bene
fits regardless of the amount OF
their earnings" Mr.. Putnam re
marked.

ators, and household employers

The average American will give the

There were some recommendations
that federal government research ac-
tivities be curtailed and that such
work be turned over to the State Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.
WANT AGENCY INDEPENDENT
The Cooperative Extension Serv-
ice received much favorable criticism
and comment, recommendations that
many phases of its work be expand
ed, but, that too much emphasis was
put on circularizing farmers with
bulletins. Probably most important
recommendation of all was that "the
Extension Service should have no
connection with any farm organza-
tion and should be strictly non-pol-
iticaP'. Feeling was also expressed
that the county agents have too much
extra administrative work to do for
other agencies. Principal new pro-
gram suggested for this agency would
be installation of soil testing and an
alyzing laboratories in counties or
groups of counties.
Only 15 counties commented on the
Office of Information. These rang
ed from urging retention of the en-
tire program by five counties, to
abolishing the bureau in it's entirety
by two counties.
BACKGROUND OF THE REVIEW
Purpose of the policy review,
L, 81, Ill e
states this fall, was to find out at the
"grassroots" what American family
farmers think about the several ag-
encies entrusted with operation of
the federal agricultural program, as
a means of developing future agricul-
tural programs.
In Montana the review was under
the genreal direction of the state and
county Agricultural Mobilization
which are comprised of
state and county representatives of
USDA agencies and state agricultural
groups. At the call of the agricul-
;ural mobilization committees, meet
ngs were held in rural counties to
obtain the broadcast possible opinion
IS to how the programs and services
If the Department of Agriculture
could best advance the family farm.
Opinion of farmers, farm organiza-
ion representatives, church and
school and groups, businessmen, serv-
ce clubs, and others with a genuine
interest in the welfare of the family
arm, was sought. Suggestions and
received during the
eview have been summarized by the
ounty and state mobilization COM
nittees and have been forwarded to
Washington, D. G.

The principals have changed. Standard
Oil is no longer in it. The scope has enlarged
The scene is no longer Butte alone. The in
tent of Heinze's statement, however, contin-
ues to hold true.
You may not live in an ACM house, but,
if you work for wages the odds are approx
mately one in five that you work for one of
the many ACM M ontana Power enterprises.
The company may not furnish the coffin
when you pass from this worldly scene, but
while you're here the chances are better than
one in two the 'dead-hand" of foreign cor
porate control will determine what you shall
land shall not) read in your daily .newspap-
er.
The above, of course, is cold stuff just
as it is no secret that the twins have more
often than not controlled Montana's legsla-
ture and other facets of state government.
All this is of the present and the past.
But what does the future hold? What
will be the effects of an expanding corporate
influence over the entire economic and po-
litical life of our state? What is to deter
Montana from becoming more and more a
"principality' exploited for the private profit
of one gigantic corporate octopus?
What has transpired in 1851 under the
cloak of an expanding war economy may be
guideposts as to what is in store for the future
. Transmission lines - built at public ex-
pense have for all practical purposes been
given to Montana Power Company by Depart
ment of Interiors Oscar Chapman without
word of protest from any member of Mon
tana's congressional delegation.
. Hungry Horse, Canyon Ferry, and to large
degree, Fort Peck-All these are becoming
"captive" through transmission line control,
the give-away price being charged MPCo on
large block of publicly produced electricity,
and the pending capture of 10000 XVIII by
the ACM on the Flathead. Almost one-half
billion tax dollars worth of power develop
ment is being given to the company by
federal administration which declared "war"

much of the work done by the various
agencies.
Consolidation of agencies and ag-
ency quarters under single roof was
another major recommendation. De-
partmental consolidation and CEN
tralization of agencies is being push
ed with Production and Marketing,
and Soil Conservation now sharing
same quarters in several counties.
Montana farm people generally
consider the services of the several
agencies essential to modern farm
ing. Particularly important being
PIMA, Sos, Extension Service, Farm
Credit, Rural liberalization, Crop
Insurance, Farmers Home Admins
tration. With each of these, over
whelming sentiment was that not
only should the agencies be retained
but that their functions should be

. Cabinet Gorge-which the legislature and
the Governor graciously gave to Washington
Water Power during the last session, will like
ly be found in the power company galaxy
within another year to 10 months
Public power production and transmission
and public damsites, however, are not the only
guideposts.
Aluminum-Look who was apparently the
william" in blocking the Harvey firm in it's
attempt to lift itself by it's boot-straps in the
aluminium field-none other than the Ana
conda. This one smells so bad the Justice
Department has now stepped in (See Pearson
column, elsewhere in this issue.)
And, how about Chrome? International
Smelling & Refining repeatedly plans con-
struction of smelter eight miles southeast
of Helena. Who is IS&R? Just another sub
sidiary of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany. Head man of IS&R is Con Kelley,
chairman of the board of ACM.
. The Freedom of Informa tion-Finally and
most important of all-what about the ''sev-
en-league" strides Anaconda is taking to in
crease it's control over means of public infor-
nation in Montana?
You are all aware of the ACM's attempt
to gain control of KFBB, Great Falls, Mon
tana's major Columbia outlet. Now, the word
is that KFBB is only first step in move by
the Company to gain either ownership or
control of programming of several other radio
stations within the state. According to re-
ports reaching this office, the plans calls for
KFBB to become 'key' station in a net
work of several with national and statewide
programs being "filtered' through the Great
Falls station. Other stations the ACM is re-
portedly seeking for it's network are: KGVO,
Missoula; KOOK, Billings; KNOW, Butte;
KBMN, Bozeman and KFDW, Helena.
The words of F. Augustus Heinze were
prophetic. He would find little reason for
altering the sense of them could he look in
on Montana, 1851.
