THE FREIGHT RATE FIGHT

Here is another instance where
''the people of Montana feel they
are not getting full protection from
the MRC," Anderson told the SEN
ate in discussing the current court
fight being carried on by the Mon
tana Citizens Freight Rate Associa-
ton to upset the latest freight rate
increase granted by the commission.
Continuing, he said: 81 do not pro-
pose to argue the merits of the case
here, but we are certainly justified
in believing that many citizens of
Montana are not satisfied with the
findings of the commission. Let me
point out another thing in connec-
ton with case. Although the find
ing of the. commission may be re-
viewed in court we find that new
evidence may not be introduced. This
is important, for if we are agreed that
faulty decisions by the commission
are probably the result of not hav-
ing enough information about the
involved financial relationships of the
corporation, then it follows that the
court decision which must be based
on the same inadequate information
cannot take recognizance of all the
facts in the case ="
WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?
While admitting he does not have
the answer to how the commission
can be reformed to more adequately
protect the public, Anderson did sug-
gest the need for "a new and posi-
tive approach to the problem" and
that therein was the Importance of
favorable senate action on his resolu-
ton.
"There is no question that the
board lacks many of the tools requi- |
site to a good performance" he said.
'They probably need money, rate
auditors and engineers. Per-
naps they could make more use of |
facilities they could engage-federal
experts on a daily hire basis-and-
n the years ahead, the oil conserva-
lion commission :" A considered |
study of the commission and it's prob
ems, Anderson believes may help to
develop new and more satisfactory
approach to the problem of adequate
of utilities in the public
interest.
The senate concurred in his senti-
nents and assigned the proposed
study to the newly created legislative
council for further investigation and
recommendation.

COMPANY" PRESS BLACKS OUT
DECENT REPORTS ON
LEGISLATION

The press services and radio sta
tions in the main have done fair and
impartial reporting. But when de-
cent report of legislative proceed
ings is unavailable to readers of Ana
conda, Butte, Helena, Missoula, Bill
ings and even some other papers it is
indeed unfortunate. Even editorial
comment is completely lacking in
most of these papers. In the matter
of press coverage there seems to have
been a deterioration over two years
ago. perhaps due to the absence from
the state of Mr.. Roy H. Glover. 1t is
too bad that in the capitol city of
Helena fair daily news coverage is
perhaps more lacking than any where
else in the state. The Independent
Record appears to be neither indie
pendent nor a record. I'm quite sure
it won't even print this statement! Ut
didn't Editor.)
| have been encouraged to note
that the Montana Young Republicans
group recently endorsed a paw raise
for Montana legislators. Nothing is
more important for Montana's future

Independent legislators more than

of income at home plus living ex-
penses at Helena during the session.

On the subject of Highways I see
the Republican excuse from the 1t.
Governor that the people voted
against taxes for highway purposes
last November. Why then did Gov
ernor Aronson. suggest to the legisla-
ure that it seek 100000 in match
ing funds? Why did the new all Re-
publican highway administration sug-
gest the &c gas tax? The fact of the
matter is that most observers agree
last falls vote was a protest against
heavy commercial trucks not paying
taxes in proportion to those
paid by the ordinary car or small
truck owner. The Democrats pro-
posed two bills to bring in substantial
highway revenues so much needed in
our highway program. Both were
killed off by Republican
yotes. Despite Chamber of Commerce

legislature has failed miserably to do
nything more than raise perhaps 7

Some Meat Prices
Dip at Food Stores
By the Assoeio,sd Pres.

Good things to eat over the
July 4 week end were featured
by the Nations food stores this
week. Prices were trimmed on
frying chickens, picnic hams,
small turkeys and frankfurters.
And to go with the meat
course housewives had a wide
selection of fresh vegetables
from which to choose. A good
dozen vegetables were rated as
good buys and prices on others
were coming down.
Some stores clipped 6 cents
a pound off the cost of frying
chickens, smoked picnics and
hot dogs. In some cases turkeys
came down around 4 cents a
pound.
Meanwhile. beef continued
available at the reasonable
prices that have prevailed for
months. For the most part
steaks, roasts and ground beef
prices remained the same as last
week.
Which was Just as well. for
pork and lamb prices were edging
higher. Typical increases on
pork chops this week: cents
a pound in Boston and Los
Angeles, 2 cents in Pittsburgh,
6 cents in Philadelphia.
Butter prices were much the
same this week as last, but eggs
inched higher. In New York,
Pittsburgh and Chicago one
leading chain posted 2-cent in
creases on the dozen.

Stronger Air Force

The announcement by Secretary Talbot
that the Air Force is going to step up produc-
ton of the B-52 and the F-100 hardly comes as
a surprise, for these planes have been under
going intensive development for long time.
Nevertheless, it is welcome announcement in
that it heralds buildup rather than cut
back in air power
The B-52, an all-jet heavy bomber is de-
signed to replace the B-36, which has served as
the main weapon in our strategic bombing
armory During the critical years since the be-
ginning of the cold war; the B-36 with it's
1O,OOO-mile range has been looked upon as our
main deterrent to Russian aggression. 1t no
doubt is still useful airplane. But its useful
ness has declined as Soviet air defense has i'm
proved, and its effectiveness against modern
Jet fighters is at least open to question.
No performance figures have been released
on the B-52, and only two of these giant planes,
powered by eight turbojet engines, have been
f1ight-tested. Presumably, however, the Air
Force is satisfied that the "bugs" have been
ironed out and that the bomber will measure
up to the high-speed and long-range perform
ance for which it was designed. Otherwise,
production would hardly be stepped up.
The F-100 is our first true SuperSonic
fighter. 1t can surpass the speed of sound (760
miles an hour at sea leveD in level flight. 1t
has not yet passed its final tests, but the Air
Force is so confident that it will meet ex-
pectations that accelerated production has been
ordered.
The cost of this step-up in production will
be met by recommitting about one-hal of the
billion dollars saved by cutbacks in the plane
purchase program announced several weeks
ago. There were good reasons for these cut
backs, but, coming on the heels of the reduction
in the Air Force budget, they caused some
uneasinesS. The latest announcement appar-
emily signifies trend in the opposite direction,
and most of us will share Mr.. Talbotts ex-
pressed hope that the Air Force is Through
with cutbacks."

A Welcome Visit

While the joint statement issued by Presi-
dents Eisenhower and Remon of Panama does
not attempt to project exact details of agree
mentS which are now under study and nego-
tiation it makes clear that basic understanding
between the two countries is solidly fixed and
gives calm assurance that the precise terms will
be worked out harmoniouSly.
The safety and the operation of the Panama
Canal are matters of vital concern to the United
States and Panama, and indeed, to the entire
free world In our participation in this project
we are, in a sense, the guests In a host country
and it is obvious that such a relationship must
be surrounded with mutual respect and con-
sideration for all the interests involved. The
treaty under which this operation is carried on
Is dated 1908 and its latest revision came In
1885, It is logical that the working details of
such long-standing agreement require peri
odic review and it is fortunate that this process
can be carried out on a genuinely good neigh
Dor basis.
1t was not necessary for President Remon
to come to Washington merely to join in
statement of reinsurance that negotiations
already being handled by technical groups
would be completed successfully. The broader
significance of his visit was the spirit of friend
ship demonstrated by his coming and by the
warm welcome given to him here. The meeting
of the two Presidents, and their wives, was an
exercise in personal diplomacy in the best
meaning of the term.

Evils on the Water Front

President Eisenhower was fully justified
in invoking the Taft-Hartley Act in an effort to
halt the costly waterfront strike along the
Eastern seaboard and to resolve the economic
issues which are involved.
Actually, the economic aspects of this
particular strike are completely overshadowed
by other elements which give a distinctly bad
odor to the entire waterfront labor situation
The striking union in this instance Is the Inter
national Longshoremen's Association, recently
expelled from the American Federation OF
Labor because of practices of graft and cor
ruption which have been traced beyond any
reasonable doubt to its leadership and have, In
fact become so much part Of Eastern port
operations as to be a national disgrace. 1t
was in recognition of this outrageous abuse of
union control-preying upon its own member
ship, upon maritime business interests and, in
the last analysis upon the public at large-that
Congress during its recent session authorized
the establishment of New York-New Jersey
Waterfront Commission as an instrument for
