The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1951-12-28

Many remember the long and difficult his
tories of these corporations in Montana. Veri-
ly, they are sterling examples of the glory of
free enterprise. From humble beginnings
they have assembled. From lackays of Stand
ard Oil, purchasers of political favors and po-
sition mere upstairs who had to pay money
for political consideration who had to go
to the extreme measure of importing gunner
and gangsters to convince their employees of
their benevolent intentions, these Twins
have achieved positions of wealth and grand
eur :. {. Positions which command such respect
in the community that we of the state of Mon
tana would never consider permitting strang-
ers or newcomers to use any of our resources.
They have reached a position whereby
even the union of their workers fastened
to their support when a new and lucrative
field of industrial development arose in the
state.

proposed plant will generate. In case
of war, the project would be practi-
cally indispensable.
A practical gain on the lobbying
front also contributes to the opti-
mism. Last year five steel compan-
les, accounting for about one-third
of total US. production, broke away
from the solid front of anti-seaway
opponents and threw their support
to the project. The steel companies
act through self-interest motives;
they own the rich Labrador iron ore
reserves that are counted on to take
up the slack of rapidly dwindling ore
supplies in Minnesota, and want cheap
and dependable transportation to
their mills in the Great Lakes basin.

Some Social Implications OF Corporate Monopoly In Montana

The Twins" have gone from conquest
to conquest.
For years they fought every development
of public power proposed for the state. Full
page ads, editorials and roadside billboards
condemned public hydro-electric development
in Montana; proclaimed that Montana Power
Co. could and does provide more than enough
power for all industrial needs. And yet, by
maneuvering in Washington, the ''twins" have
secured control of publicly built transmission
lines and have captured for sale at private
profit the great bulk of power to be produced
at publicly financed and constructed hydro
electric plants. Their astuteness in dealing
with government agents has brought them
control of transmission lines from Fort Peck
to Great Falls, Kerr Dam to Anaconda, and
Great Falls to Canyon Ferry Control of
these lines permits them to hold captive pract-

Parents Benefits:
Parents of deceased veterans
who died in service are entitled to
death compensation provided they
are dependent. Dependency will
be held to exist if the parents do
not have an income sufficient to
provide reasonable maintenance
for themselves and members of
their family under legal age, or
members of the family otherwise
dependant by reason of mental or
physical incapacity. Income linn
tied to $50 for one parent; S135
for two parents and S35 for each
minor child.
Even though widow and chill
dren may be receiving death COM
pensation and due to service con-
nected death the dependant par
ents too, are entitled to receive
pension without taking anything
away from the widow and chill
dren.
Parents of veterans of wars and
peacetime are defined as follows:
A father, mother Through adop-
ton, and persons who have stood

commendations from his European
service, but Captain Burgess is an
MP officer and most of the men
sent to him are men with artillery
backgrounds. Capt. Burgess did
most of his best work in Europe
as commanding officer of an honor
guard for General Lucius Clay
where his men did nothing but
wear white gloves, white scarfs and
white leggings and figuratively
''1ook pretty" for the conquered
people of occupied Europe. He
has, however, a brilliant combat
record.
General Funk has elevated Capt.
Burgess to position of response
bility to mould a "show" battalion
of the caSt-off men from the ar
tillery units and he is apparently
launched upon the idea whole
heartedly. From a military stand
point his ability is being wasted.

though Army commanders at Camp
Edwards claim that they are not
permitted to integrate Jim Crow
units set up under specific orders
of the Department of the Army,
they are not hesitating to set up
new Jim Crow units on their own
in open violation of President Tru-
mans order calling for integration
in the Armed Forces.
This sprawling camp, located in
a community where there is a
minimum amount of race preju-
dice, is studded with Jim Crow
units all over the base and what
is more, the commanding general,
Brigadier General Arnold ]. Funk,
is busily organizing more Jim Crow
units right here on the post.
This camp has one integrated
unit the 1117 Army Service
Unit, which is a housekeeping
unit that does all the housekeep-
ing work around the base. There is
an ASU unit at every army base
and at every one but two, this
writer has found them integrated.
The answer here is simple. A great
majority of the work done by such
units is of the kind that most SOL
diers do not prefer, that is, they
are firemen, truck drivers and
what nots performing duty which
is only remotely connected with
military tactics.
Thus at the outset it must be
said that to point out an ASU unit
as an example of integration is to
start off from the beginning with
a poor example.
But once past the ASU unit at
Camp Edwards, there the inte-
grafton stops. There is no inte-
grated training here, no integrated
dances with the exception of the
ASO, d1Iu I1O lAIcSA dLSu ANAAS
among the men with the exception
of the ASU.
On the other hand here are
some of the things one finds at
Camp Edwards:
1. Colored reserve units arrive
here from southern states COM
pletely segregated. Camp comman-
ders claim that they cannot inte-
CRATE these units for they were
segregated by the Department of
he Army. But when such units be-
come overstrength they do not
hesitate to take the surplus per-
sonnel from these various units
and lump them together in Jim
Crow unit of cast-offS.
2. Colored officers are not given
command positions according to

their rank, but are Jumped into
Jim Crow units without regard to
rank or arm of Servcie so that in
one Jim Crow unit one finds a
colored captain commanding a
battalion in a position which calls
for a 1t. Col. with a captain who
outranks him in period of service
serving as his adjutant, another
captain who outranks the COM
manding officer serving as per-
sonal adjutant.
3. In a white anti-aircraft ar
tillery group composed of two
white battalions and one colored
battalion, one finds a white battal-
ion so short of men as to impair
training, a colored battalion so
overstrength that it's commanders
admit that adequate training is i'm
possible; yet no colored men will
be transferred into the white unit
to bring it up to strength. The
colored artillerymen, instead, are
transferred to a Jim Crow unit
commanded by a military police Of
ficer who knows nothing of ar
tillery training, and made to be-
come a part of an honor guard
battalion which teaches them moth
ing about artillery. Yet, these men
who are transferred with made
quate training are admittedly
some Of the first who will be sent
to Korea if the Defense Depart
ment should make a levy of men
on the camp.
This battalion OF colored men
which General Funk has set up
at Camp Edwards is one of the
most oddly constituted, and in the
minds of the writer, one of the
most disgraceful units in the United
States Army. Yet it apparently has
the approval of General Critten-
berger of the First Army who in
spected the camp recently and
who, according to camp officials,
highly praised the Jim Crow unit.
Let's look at this battalion. 1t
is mainly composed Of some 700
cast-offs of the 369th AAA of Har-
lem which is now stationed here,
and the 466th AAA which is a
reserve unit mainly of men from
Virginia. Both are Jim Crow units.
This unit is not what is known
as ITO" unit, that is, it is not
part of the Tables of Organiza-
ton of the Department of the
Army. In short, it is a bastard
unit created on the camp by Cen
eral Funk.
It starts out wrong with a cap
tain commanding the battalion.
Something virtually unheard of in
army circles. Ordinarily a 1t. Col
commands a battalion.
It's commanding officer, Captain
j. C. Burgess, is an excellent Of
ficer with a fine background OF

HAYSEED
CHILDREN AND DOGS
Bv Uncle Sam

Little children love dogs. Dogs
love little children, unless they
are the wrong kind of dogs. Little
children desire and yearn for
love. A dog can bring happiness
to a little child by loving to the
limit of it's brute nature. That is
the reason there is a tie between
children and dogs. A dog may De
valueless in dollars, but to a child
it is worth everything. To the
right kind of a dog a child is its
best friend. They understand
each other. Both may be dirty
and poorly cared for. They are
friends. They are pals. They love
each other without measure
Dogs haye gone their limit to
protect children. Children have
sacrificed their lives to save their
dogs.
There is nothing hypocritica'
about a dog. If a dog does not
like person they do not hesitate
to show it; if a child does not
love a person, it is free to say
so. The world of children and
dogs is a real world. 1t is a world
where truth, friendship and love
counts.
Fortunate are the children pri'
vileged to roam the fields and
woods and along the streams
with their dogs. Every boy ought
to be allowed to own a dog and
every dog ought to be allowed
to live in the country.
