IMPORTANT HEARINGS ON
UNEMPLOYMENT COMP
SET FOR SEPT. l3

Eligibility of an estimated 1 500
craftsmen in Butte, Great Falls and
Anaconda for unemployment COM
pensation because of being made
idle by the two weeks old Mine
Mill strike against Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company, will be de-
termined at a meeting of the
U n empl o ment Compensation
Commission in Helena Monday,
September 10.
The several craft unions-Elec-
tricians, Machinists, Carpenters,
Plumbers, Painters, ETC., are not
party to the strike but have been
idled by the lack of work as a re-
suit of Mine-Mill's strike to force
ACM to pay higher wages and
make other contract improvements.
At Mondays sessions the COM
mission will also hear arguments
on an appeal by labor representa-
tives against an adverse compensa-
ton ruling handed down by the
commission in connectio with last
springs strike against the Ana
conda Aluminium Company con-
struction operation on the Flat
head. A number of craft unions
earlier unsuccessfully sought COM
pensation for their members be-
cause they were not party to the
prolonged Flathead strike, but were
idled because of the wage strike
carried on by the Carpenters and
some other AFL unions.

DIx0N-YATES CONTRACT

that Acc would get from Middle
South Utilities and Southern Com
pany through IVA lines. The two
firms would build a 100000 plant
at West Memphis, Ark.
President Eisenhower, through
Hughes, ordered Acc to sign it, de-
spite the objection of three of Aces
five directors. Over the 25 years,
the power would cost the government
$50 million to $40 million in excess
of what IVA would charge.
Walter Won Tresckow, heading an
other private power combine, said
the budget bureau used deliberately
inaccurate and misleading" figures
in giving Dixon-Yates the contract.
His proposal, he said, would save
taxpayers $3.50 million.

How Much Did You Get?
BANKERS TOLD
COP TAX BILL
'TOOTHS0NE;'

MADISON, Wis. - (CNS) - This
years tax law is "the most tooth
some technical revision tax bill ever
to tickle the palates of hungry tax
payers" Prof. Walter w. Heller told
Wisconsin University's 10th annual
banking school, August 80.
The 1000 pages of this new law
provide more special benefits and
concessions for investment and bust
ness than any previous tax measure
in history" Chicago SOUTHWESTERN
Robert T. Vanderpoel says Heller told
the bankers. what we have witnessed
in the past Is months adds up to
nothing less than a revolution in fed
eral tax philosophy"
Heller says families with less
than $5,OO-a-year incomes include
1870 of the people, pay 40% of the
taxes, and got 2O3o of the So bill
lion 1854 tax reduction. Families
in the 5,0OO-$1O,OOO income class
include 22% of the people, pay 800
of the taxes, and got 1920 of the
new laws benefits. Families with
more than 1O,OOO-a-year incomes
include 40 of the people, pay 5000
of the taxes, and got 5000 of the
gravy"
Those who believe that the prime
way to make the nation more prosper
Gus is to ease the tax burden on bust
ness necessarily" gives the bulk of
tax benefits to upper income groups,
Heller says.
THE 1854 tax changes will tighten
the tax load of upper income groups
much more sharply than that of
lower income groups"

Who Gets The Benefits From The New Tax Bill

the average taxpayers might" reach
1927 million.
The Eisenhower administration
killed the Democrat tax amend
ment that would have raised in
dividual tax exemptions to $500.
This is the way the new tax bill
adds up:
Tax reductions will go to families
with large medical expenses. Tax
payers now will be allowed to deduct
medical expenses in amounts above
8 per cent of their total income, in
stead of the usually per cent. Saving
Of $50 million.
Parents will no longer lose the $500
exemption of their son or daughter
who may be earning more than $500
a year, provided they are under 10
or in school and are still supported
by the parents. The child may also
take his own exemption when he
files for a refund. Under this rule
we now have an exemption that can
hereafter be taken twice. Saving of
SIS million.
Farmers now have permission to
deduct each year OUTLAWS on soil and
water conservation in that year, in
stead of waiting till he sells his land
to take those deductions. These ex-
penses may include planting wind
breaks, clearing brush, leveling, grad
ing, terracing and contouring and on
building and maintenance of water
courses, drainage bitches, ponds,
earthen dams and similar projects.
Limit on these deductions will be 25
per cent of the gross farm income.
Shareholders will get tax freedom
on their first $50 of dividends in
year, and tax cut of per cent on
the rest of their dividend income, eff
fective on dividends received after
July 81, 1854. Savings of 1904 mil
lion.
Business firms are given a much
more rapid tax deduction for depreci-
alton of new plants and equipment,
very liberal treatment of research
expenses, greater freedom to set
aside surplus earnings, losses may be
offset against the profits of two prior
years, or against income in five flu
ture years, etc. Saving of sly million.
Corporations receive tax deduc-
lions on less stringent rules on de-
probation and depletion, carry-back
of business losses, new accounting
provisions, etc. Saving of 1886 mil
lion.
Corporation tax now held at So per
cent, drops to At per cent next April
1, 1855. Saving of So billion.

tax bill greatly benefits the cor

federation of dissenting religious
bodies was established in Colombia
by its Constitution of 1886. A
treaty with the Netherlands in
1929 established that Dutch sub
jectS in Colombia, though not Cath
olic, would enjoy freedom of con-
science, and provided that they
practice their religion in designat-
ed places of worship. The treaty
made the same provision for Co
lombian nationals in the Neither
lands. Similar agreements were
made with England by treaties and
protocols OF 1928 and 1865, and
with the United States in 1846.
However, in 1896, the incumbent
Liberal party, containing anti
clericaIs and Communist elements,
suppressed the article that protect
ed the Catholic religion and ex-
changed the tolerance contained in
the law for unrestricted freedom
of religious activities. The Liber-
ais, furthermore, did away with
the article establishing that public
education be organized and direct
ed in accordance with the Catho-
/ lie religion. These amendments
gave the green light" to Protest
ant mission groups to increase
their mission establishments and
schools. At the same time, the war
in Europe and Asia had forced ces-
sation of mission activities there
and focused fuller missionary &C
tivities on South America.

visions of 1886, and the resulting
emphasis on Protestant missionary
activities, religious conflicts arose,

Summer School
Lecturer Has
Unusual Job

Sisters and laywomen at the Col
lege of st. Mary of the Springs
preparing to teach elementary
grades will have the opportunity
of listening to a fellow-teacher on
Wednesday, July 28. He is Bill
Martin, Jr, an author, artist, ac-
tor, and teacher sponsored by the
John c. Winston Company of Phila-
delphia.
Bill Martin, Jr., the Winston
Storyteller, is a tall, friendly ex-
Gf who has one of the most I'M
usual jobs in the world. He is a
modern troubadur, a spinner of
yarns, a professional Storyteller.
Martin started storytelling as a
hobby while he was in the Army
Air Corps during World War H..
Instead of dreaming about what he
wanted to do when he got home,
he set to work in his spare time
writing children's stories. On week
end passes, Bill visited children
in hospitals and schools, telling his
stories and watching their reac-
tions.
After his discharge from the
service, he with his brother, Ber-
nard, wrote and illustrated fifteen
books for children. His "story-
telling" before teachers, librarians,
and children have sold over l, ,500,-
600 books.
Most of Bills work on his stories
is done at his home in Kansas City.
His young son, Gary, is the guinea
pig for many of them. IF Gary
likes it," says Bill, i know I'm
on the right track"

than acts of resentment on the
part of the people could have been
expected.
The political riots Of l94s
brought about acts Of violence
between liberal and Conserve
tive political factions which were
often mistakenly identified as
conflicts between Profestants
and Catholics. In reference to
this, the magazine Testimonio,
published at Bosota, stated in
its October, 1853, issue that one
of the saddest aspects of this
rivalry of the two political par
fies was their distorted religious
attitude.
Many Conservatives, it said, ap.
peared to think and act as though
membership in the party was a
ticket to Heaven. At the same time
it accused the Liberals of suppos-
ing that anticlericalism was their
best weapon against the Conserva-
tives. Into this nightmare of re-
iigious fallacy and political fanati-
cism, Testimonio pointed out, it
must be remembered that a few
Protestant proselytizers entered
and took sides with the Liberals.
Several small Protestant groups
in Colombia had, before the riots
of 1948, attempted unifying their
efforts for proselytization. But,
because of internal differences,
the attempt was unsuccessful. The
task, however, was facilitated
when guerrilla warfare, an after
math of the riots, gave them a
claim of persecution in common.
All non-Catholic denominations
working in Colombia were invited
into the union, which was named
the Evangelical Confederation of
Colombia. But some of the groups,
like the Anglicans and Episco-
palians, did not accept the invita-
ton. Other groups, like the Bsp-
lists, we're outspoken in rejecting
the offer.
''To pretend" they said, ito pre-
sent a united front before the
world, and at the same time safe
guard the entire independence and
structure of each denomination is,
as it seems to us, hypocrisy and
at the same time a move that con-
tradicts the tenet of Protestant
freedom" (Meraldo Bautista, Cali,
August, 1949D.
In order to find some solution
to the rising problem of religious
conflicts, the government of Gen.
eral Gustavo Rojas Pinilla brought
together both Liberal and Con-
servative leaders into a Committee
for Constitutional Studies (CEC).
Out of this Committee came the
two proposed amendments to the
Constitution of Colombia.
The Bishops of Colombia, at
their meeting in Bogota last No
vember, drew up a memorandum,
expressing their views on the pro-
posed amendments with special
