France is endeavoring to put down

to send somebody over there to study

Britain has suspended the consti-

seems to sorta conflict with our Mon
roe Doctrine). Well we haven't got
around to it yet but We'll have to send

to be extinct, elected a Democrat to
Congress, so the whole Republican

They got busy on that right away.
Seems that the farmers all over the
country, and especially in that partic-
ular district were sorta dissatisfied
with the Republican farm program so
Ike has to make swing around the

FLA group that he was appointing a
committee to study the farm prob
lem. In the course of three months
or so the committee will come up with
some solution so for the remainder of
that time the farmers can "study the
problem of how to keep from going
broke.
Yep it's going to be quite a study
I'm afraid they won't complete the
course by the time school is out in
1856.
Then there's the problem of juvenile
delinquency, Juvenile gang wars inspir-
ed by too much Dick Tracy" and
blood and thunder comic books
which are not at all comic. Another
problem to study.
And then, too, there is the wave of
fear between all nations. Russia and
China are afraid of the capitalist men
ace of the United Staes. And the Unit
ed States is afraid of the communist
menace of Russia and China, and the
rest of the world is afraid of the men
ace of all three of them.
When [ read the headlines in the
papers, hear the radio broadcaSts and
programs indica ting how badly fright

communist menace l realize as never
before the shortcomings of the prev

[ see how badly frightened the Amer

world is coming tO-and this so call

crime on the waterfronts, cold blooded
kidnappings and murder, wars, rumors
of wars, insane fears, chicanery and
war mOngering, all in pursuit of the
almighty dollar which you can't take
with you and which won't buy much
when you get it.
[ am reminded of what Mark Twain
said about the human race:
''If L were God i would think it
about time for another fIOOd-and
I'D do the JOB properly this time,
there would be no Noah, no Arrarat,
and NO ARK"
Well, maybe Mark was right At
any rate the thought raises a question
and like all good Republicans, I'll
have to study the problem!

Four prime topics pervade the Amer
lean daily press: Hatred of half the
people of the world that differ in their

Our American Declaration of Tnde-
pendence says I'VE hold these truths
to be self evident, that all men are
created equal.
A noble sentiment on the part of
our founding fathers but unfortun-
ately it isn't true. We can look around
us in any segment of society and see
the contradictions. Some are born
physically handicapped, some are gift
ed with varying degrees of ambition
or initiative, some are gifted with a
high degree of intelligence, others
with considerably less intelligence
and then, of course, there are the Re-
publicans.
s funny thing about these Repub-
HcanS. When they are not in office
they know just exactly what ought to
be done to cure all the messes in Wash
ington and the problems which beset
the world. But now that they are in
office they have to Study the prob
lem"
Ike had to go to Korea to "study the
problem. Well we've got a truce in
Korea that doesn't look much differ

POW's are doing more fighting and
causing more trouble about repatria-
tiOn than they caused for the enemy
in actual combat. Well that gives
them another problem to Study"

the aims and character of true
Americanism and bears a distinct
likeness to the aims and character
of totalitarianism." Statesmen who
have spoken out against Mccarthy
ism were applauded for their cour-
age by the convention.
Along similar lines, another resolu-
ton dealt with the current wave of
dismissals of public servants. Said
MFU: eve have no tolerance with
anyone seeking to destroy our rep
resentative form of self government
in the United States. However i.
we insist that every public employe
be granted hearing before dismissal

face his accusers, if any, and to de-
fend himself :" evidence is now
available that public employees of long
standing are being dismissed on film
sy charges of disloyalty, even though
having been Cleared" twice or more
in the past. This has happened to at
least one Forest Service employe in
Montana Dept. of Agriculture offic-
ials refused to reveal the nature of
"evidence" against the dismissed
USFS official to even important elect
ed representatives of the people.
There is more than little reason for
suspecting that the ''disloyalty" hoax

openings for observing Republicans"
in jobs usually considered as having
permanent Civil Service status. =

Oppose D'Ewart Land Bill,
Other Give-aways

Continuing their indictment of the
Eisenhower Administration as one be-
ing dedicated to giving away the peo-
pies resources to the powerful few,
delegates lashed out vigorously
against legislative attempts under
way in Washington and Helena to
take public resources away from the
people.
The D'Ewart land grab bill, HR
4023, and it's successors, the Hope
Aiken bills, were assailed as meas
ures which "would seriously weak
en- the administration of federal graz
ing lands :" and because of cost
ly and involved court procedures
proposed under both would make it
prohibitive for small stockgrowers to
attempt to secure square deal IN
seeking leases of public lands. These
bills, like the D'Ewart proposal, are
so written that, should the admins
trative agency in charge of such
lands so decide. sportsmen, recrea-
ton seekers, and all others except
the stockgrower-lessee could be ex-
cluded from the national forests and
other publicly-owned lands.

Recalling the recent hearings IN
Montana by the House Indian AT

ing to "emancipate" the Indians, the
convention labeled same as 6. g

that will eventually leave the Indians
without funds, lands and reserva-
tions Wholesale liberation of the
Indians will make this great wealth
(grazing, timber, oil, mineral, pow
or sites eac.) easily available to the

numbers of Indian families becoming
clients for already overburdened To-
cal and state welfare facilities"
In addition, the convention call
ed attention to the fact that these
people (the Indians) under a 1924
law ". are citizens now, can have
their property taken out of trust
status if they wish; can vote ana
do pay taxes.
The delegates also urged the fed
eral government to recognize lts

Newspapers are siding pre-
ponderantly with the admin
stration in the foreign policy
ruckus pitting Senator Mccarthy
against President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles.
An Associated Press sampling
of typical editorial comment
shows about five papers taking a
stand against the Wisconsin Re-
publican or for the White House
to every one upholding the Sena-
tor or criticizing the admins
tration. However, about one
third of the editorials sampled
took something of a detached
view without committing them
selves either way.
Mccarthy Sets off Row.
Senator Mccarthy set up the
controversy with a blast at
American aid for Allies trading
with Red China and his cam
paign to get people agreeing
with him to write Gen Eisen-
hover.
Senator Mccarthy calls it
blood trade" and says he is in
complete disagreement" with
Mr.. Dulles, who contends Amer
lean assistance to friendly coun-
tries docs not give us the right
to dictate their trade policies. "
Gen. Eisenhower has put him
self firmly alongside Mr.. Dulles
and warned against any "coer-
cion" of allied nations as "a
mark of the imperialist rather
than the leader"
In effect, the Wisconsin Sem
ator appealed to the people to
referee the row.
Some See Definite Split.
Some newspapers regard the
whole dispute as a definite break
between Senator Mccarthy and
the White House. Others say it
isn't that yet and probably will
be smoothed over. a numuor
believe the controversy brings
things into a proper perspective,
helps to clear and clean the air,
and will result in stronger lead
ership from Gen. Eisenhower.
Editorials going after Senator
Mccarthy vary from the re-
strained to use of such terms as
upstart, demagogic thunderings,
self lf-serving radical, charlatan.
From the other camp cane
such comment as this, from the
Chicago Tribune:
"Mr. Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles have obliged
the New Dealers who have been
trying for a year and a half to
get them to take after Senator
Mccarthy, but both have done
so in their customary wishy-

But the Chicago Sun Times

American will applaud the dou-
ble-barrelled declaration of war
against Joe Mccarthy by Pres
ident Eisenhower and Secretary
of State Dulles

Carthy's statement should help

who trade with Communist
China"

to realize the awful prospect (of
atomic weapons"
Mr.. Murray quoted Mr.. Dulles
as saying in a recent speech.
None of us Con the American
delegation at San FranciSco)
knew of the atomic bomb which
was to fall on Hiroshima on
August 6, 1945. The charter is
thus a pre-atomic-age charter.
In this sense it was obsolete be-
fore it actually came into force"
Mr.. Murray emphasized that
atomic weapons are making OBJ
solete "any such concept of war
as an extension of diplomacy
into the area of force" and
added:
"In the past, statesmen, in de-
Gliding for war. have generally
had at least some conception of
the consequences of their deci-
sion. Often such statesmen have
been participants in earlier wars
and have known, at first hand,
some of the awfulness that man
can visit upon man when force
is resorted to, in efforts to impose
one Nations will upon another.
But even those in whose minds
the sufferingS and destruction of
the last war are still most fresh
can have but the most meager
concept of what general atomic
war would bring"
Mr.. Murray said that even the
peaceful aspects of atomic energy
must be known to governmental
leaders because they must handle
problems studded with con-
siderations of industrial know
how, atomic industrial power and

Mike Pricola declared today after
he and four other teenagers
were rescued from a big refrig-

It was q happy rescue, as %
children have died in abandoned
or unused refrigerators this year.
In the last eight years at least

he thought the three older boys
would be arrested shortly. Mr..
Woehrle said the three, all about

He said the rescue was made
just in time because oxygen in

managed to make small hole in
