The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-08-20
By JOHN RAMPS

EDITORS NOTE: John Ramps,
a native of Froid, Roosevelt county,
and a graduate of Montana State
University School of Journalism, was
for number of years chief of the
Montana Associated Press Bureau
before accepting an assignment with
the AP Washington office about four
years ago.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Rep. Lee
Metcalf (D-Mont.) is doing his best
to upset the tradition that a fresh
man of the minority party should be
seen and not heard in congress.
The former Montana supreme
court justice introduced several bills
in 1858. But he found that a first
term Democrat in a small congress

odds in getting legislation through
committees dominated by veteran
The husky 6-footer got attention
from his colleagues early this year.
In speech on the House floor he
quarterbacked fight against a bill
which would have permitted private
timber operators to take title to ma
tional forest lands if their holdings
are flooded out by dam-building prof.
ects.
Metcalf called this a dangerous
special privilege bill" In the two
day debate he collided head-on with
Rep. D'Ewart, his Republican col
league from Montana. D'Ewart was
handling the bill on the floor for the
interior and insular affairs commit

SEEK HOLD ON PRIVATE LANDS
The grazing amendment is opposed
by most conservation and recreation
groups and the National Farmers
Union. 1t is watered-down version
of more extreme bill (the D'Ewart
bilD backed by stockmen who want
to acquire national forest range lands
as private property or virtually as
private property. 1t would:
/. Provide that if a person with
a grazing permit makes an improve
ment-like digging waterhole, re-
seeding or building drift fences and
retention dams-and later his permit
is cancelled by the government
through no fault of his own, the gov
eminent must compensate him for the
deprecated value of the improve
ment.
2. Provide for transfer of grazing
permits.
3. Establish appeals board machin-
cry, which could be invoked by per-
mit-holder who is dissatisfied with a
Forest Service decision. For example,
if cattleman is told by ranger that
ne must reduce the number of cattle
using national forest range because
the range would be injured by grazing
a larger herd, he could appeal.
The appeal board in any case would
consist Of one representative chosen
by the complaining stockmen, one gov
eminent employee and one person
picked by the other two. The bill
would disqualify from board men,
bership any government employe who
is in the Forest Service. The third
man could not be one who has any
thing to do with grazing. Both the
government man and the third man
would have to be residents of a state
other than that where the dispute
arose.
Foes of the bill argue that with
such set-uP, the only man on the
board who knows what the local
situation is and what the issues are
would be the stockman-and he
would dominate the appeals board.
The bulk of the fire against the
measure deals with the improvements
compensation section.
Proponents of the bill argue it

A Jackson, Mississippi church
has become one of the first to
balk at a Southern Presbyterian
church recommendation urging
the church to wipe out segrega-
ton. The Mississippi church de-
clared last week that its intention
was to remain pure white.
Shortly after the Supreme Court
ruled public school segregation
unconstitutional the General AS
sembly Of the Southern Presby-
terrain church met at Montreal,
North Carolina and urged lower
ing the racial barrier.
The First Presbyterian Church
of Jackson, Mississippi, released a
statement last week stating that
the elders there voted unani-
mously not to follow the recon-
mendation.

Clarred Body Is
Still A Mystery


After full investigation by a
member of the STATE PRESS
staff, the death of Isadore Banks
is still a mystery. Banks eharred
body was found in thicket, chain
ed 10 a tree, west of Marion last
Tuesday, June 8. Fuel oil had
been poured over the body and
lighted, and from the knees up,
the body was putrid mass when
found.
The head of the victim did not
show any evidence of violence,
and the condition of the remain

Terror on Negro
Pedestrians

A Negro pedestrian was treated
at the University hospital Satur-
day night, after being hit with
d brick thrown from a passing
ear as he was walking along the
300 block of East 9th street. The
victim was identified as Tom Nor
cross, 81, 1923 East 9th street. A
white woman is said to have
witnessed the incident.
A few months ago, another Ne
gro was hospitalized after being
struck with an object from occu-
pants of a passing car while along
the streets.
This is nothing new in the way
of terrorizing Negroes as they
walk along the streets, or stand
