AS we enter the year STA
there are encouraging signs of
sanity in the world. The madness
in Korea has abated and the mas
tiers of our destiny in the United
Nations are graphing with estab-
fishing at least a modicum Of
an1itY in the world. There is still
discord and grave tensions. but as
long as men are sitting at the
table instead of on cannon tops
there is at least hope that the
differences may be resolved by
resolution and common purpose.
In Israel the year 5713 was one
of light and shadows. Before four
leaves were torn from the calen-
dar, the country was plunged into
gloom over the death of it's first
and b loved President - DR..
Chain Weizmann. The country
was also beset by grave internal
and foreign problems. Internally
the country was troubled by po-
litical dissenSion that are the in
evitable appendage of multiple
parties. The problem of synthe-
sizing the conflicting points of
view of a population at once mod
ern and ultra-religious was test

the populace itself. Yet in the

McLeod's Personnel
Talk Is Questioned
ByCareer Officers
By Gornett D. Horner

-Four State Department off,
cials have stuck out their necks
in publicly questioning some of
the personnel policy views of
r. w. Scott Mcleod, the depart
ment's security and personnel
boss.
Their diplomatic criticism came
in an article in the current
Foreign Service Journal, unoff1-
cial spokesman for Americas
career diplomats as the organ of
the American Foreign Service
Association.
The article. released by the
Journal last night. said the non
partisan character of the Gov
ernment's career services remains
in doubt until it is known
whether views expressed by Mr..
Mcleod in an American Legion
address at Topeka, August s, are
those of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration."
Signed by Halle.
Louis j. Halle, jr., member
of the State Departments policy
planning staff and of the Journal
editorial board, signed the ar
ticle. 1t was indorsed by his four
fellow members of the editorial
board-three of them now en-
ployed in the State Department
and one retired.
The article quoted a portion
OF Mr.. McLeod's August 8 speech
In which he spoke Of the diff
Guilty of replacing a career en-
ploye whose viewpoint does not
coincide with that of the Re-
publican Party" and said until
such time as we can re-educate
those employees or replace them
with proper personnel, the prog
reSS we make is sometimes very
slow"
Then the article asserted:
THE whole question of wheth-
er the career services are now to
lose their non-partisan charac-
ter must remain in deep uncer-
tainty until we know whether,
in his American Legion address,
Mr.. Mcleod was or was not
speaking for the administration
at large"
Agrees on Socialists.
Mr.. Mcleod is in charge of all
personnel matters in the State
Department as administrator of
the Bureau of Security and Con-
sular Affairs.
Mr.. Halle wrote that most of
his colleagues agree with Mr..
McLeod'S remarks in an earlier
letter to Socialist leader Norman
Thomas that Socialists should
not be employed in policy-mak-
ing jobs in the department.
Tt would not make sense to
put into or retain in policy
making jobs, in President Eli
senhower's administration, So
cialistS, New Dealers or any
other political partiSans whose
convictions are opposed to the
philosophy on which the ad-
ministration seeks to base its
policy" Mr.. Halle wrote in the
journal.
Career Services Are "TOOl."
But he emphasized the time
honored" distinction between
the work of career Government
employees and actual policy
making positions filed by politi-
cal appointees who have the re-
sponsibility of making decisions
for the administration. The ca
reer services form merely
tool" in the hands of the policy
makers, he wrote.
Besides Mr.. Halle, the mem
berS of the Journal editorial
board are: Ray L. ThurSton,
Deputy Director of the State
Department Office of Eastern
European Affairs; Edmund Gull
lion, a member of the policy
planning staff; Richard A.

of Philippine and Southwest
Asian Affairs, and Charles f.

TeakettIe May Get
Radio TrQnsmitter

Teakettle mountain, northeast OF
Columbia Falls, may soon be the
location of state highway de-
partment radio transmitter.
In progress this week was bull
doing a route to the top of the
middle rise of the mountain for
FM radio transmitter tests. Oper-
ating the highway department do
zer was Ted Mann, Columbia
Falls.
The Teakettle site provides rea-
dy communications with FM
transmitters in Missoula and west.
Problem is to see if the location
will have suitable contact with the
station at Summit on the contin-
entail divide, commented Fred
Wells, Kalispell, district highway
superintendent. A truck is taking
radio equipment up the mountain.
At the foot of Teakettle noun
tain is the site of the Anaconda
Aluminium Co. plant.
If tests are successful, the Flat
head Electric Coop will run
power cable up the mountain to
the transmitter, which would tie
in with the police officers net
work as well.

TO Study N. Fork
Boat Catches

Underway up the Flathead riv-
er's North Fork is a survey of trout
fishing from boats.
The State Fish and Game de-
partment survey has been recon-
mended by sportsmen's clubs in
the area.
Object is to see how many fish
are being taken from this choice
trout stream by boat fisherman
as compared to the number OBJ
tanned by anglers on the banks.
The Flathead rivers North
Fork is the western boundary of
Glacier national park and rises in
the primitive Fernie district of
British Columbia, Canada. Nation
al sporting magazines have de-
scribed it as one of Americas out
standing trout streams.
In charge of the survey to deter
mine stream use and fish catch
is Frank Stefanich, Kalispell, fish
biologist for the State Fish and
Game department. Patrolling the
stream this summer and studying
the whole problem will be Dan
Block, fish biologist, and an as
sistant.

Middle Fork Beetles
To Be ChemicuIized

Chemical spray control of des-
tructive sprucs park beetles in the
Flathead this week obtained a
boost.
A control area for experimental
ton is being taken over by the
Colorado forest service insect lab
oratory covering the forest serv-
ice sector of the Flathead rivers
Middle Fork.
David McComb of the Bureau
of Entomology laboratory, Coeur-
d'Alene, will be in charge.
Plan is to use the trap tree
method. Beetles prefer downed
trees where there is less resis-
tance to their penetrating the
bark and laying eggs. The eggs
then become larvae and grid the
tree.
In the trap method certain trees
are felled with the idea of attract
ing spruce bark beetles. Then the
trees are thoroughly sprayed with
beetle destroying ethylene dibro-
mide.
Middle Fork sections to be con-
trolled include 100 acres on Sky
land creek with smaller acreages
on Cascadilla and Wahoo creeks
and on Dickey flats.
Another chemical spray control
area scheduled is Bond creek at
the head of Swan lake. Decision
to use spray in this sector for
control purposes was arrived at
following a mid-May visit to this
section by Tom Terrill of the
Coeur d'Alene control laboratory.
Infestation here is set at 4.3 per
cent in a basin with 100000 |
board feet of spruce. From 500 to !
900 trees are being sprayed, and |
there may be some logging.
Meanwhile in Tally Lake dist
rict virtually 200 of the estimated
500 affected trees in the Reed
creek control area have been
sprayed. Twenty men are at work.
Isolated Lion creek basin up the
Swan has 1000 trees to be treated
in location with a spruce stand
Of 50,O00,000 board feet consider
ed inaccessible for logging. Thir-
~ men will be employed.

Bad Rock Petition
Asks Consolidation

A petition with the names of 35
Bad Rock district names has been
submitted County Supt. Lulu Bar
nard for the purpose of having Bad
Rock district No. l annexed to
school district 6.
The law calls for 20 per cent of
the qualified electors in district
