five Nominated
FOR AIR ACADEMY
BY REF. METCkLF

Rep. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) this
week nominated five Montanans for
the first class at the U. S. Air Force
Academy.
They are Harold Archibald of 1873
1st Avenue East, Kalispell; Carl W.
Kreitzberg of 260 Strand Avenue,
Missoula; Charles F. Marion, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank T. Marion of
Deer Lodge, student at Carroll Col

of G. r. Perry of Hungry Horse ;
and Anthony Bert Smole, son of
Antoine B. Smole of East Helena.
Each member of the House and
Senate can nominate up to 10 candi-
dates for the first class of 800 which
will convene in July of next year.
Competitive examinations will cut
the field to two Montanans. Metcalf
asked those interested to get in touch
with him as soon as possible because
he will make his other five appoint
ments within the next few weeks.
Upon graduation, cadets will re-
ceive a B. S. degree, be commissioned
as second lieutenants in the Regular
Air Force and will be rated Aircraft
Observers.

METCALF'S RECORD WINS
HIM REELECTION

Congressan Lee Metcalf, who in
his first two years in Washington
as a member of the 83rd Congress
achieved for himself the distinction
of being one of the outstanding
freshmen" congressman of the gen
Grafton, rolled to a comparatively
easy victory over his Republican OPP
ponent, Winfield E. Page, Missoula.
Accorded maj ority of about eight
thousand in Silver Bow and Deer
Lodge counties, Metcalf picked up an
extra six hundred in Lewis & Clark
and another fifteen hundred lead in
other First District counties, to top
Page by around ten thousand. The
Metcalf-Page campaign, it should be
noted here, was very clean cam
paign, with Metcalf seeking second
term on his record, and Page asking
support on the basis of "Ike Needs
A Republican Congress-"
Vote totals for the First District
show Metcalf, 1888, in 385 of the
district precincts, 50,595; Page 49,
542.
In the Second Congressional Dis
trict, POLITICAL newcomer Orvin
Flare, Big Timber, edged State Sena
tor Leroy Anderson of Conrad, by
about 1000 in the predominantly Re-
publican district. Flares victory is
attributed to his speaking ability and
his being particularly photogenic on
TV.
The Anderson-Fjare campaign was
also comparatively free of personal
attacks on either candidate.
UP totals showed Flare 65,860 in
703 of the 700 district precincts, to
Ga ,349 for Anderson.

1866 LEGISLATURE
COMPLEXION TO BE-
SOMEWHAT Different

For the first time since 1949 Demo
Gratis will control the lower house of
the legislature when that body con-
venes in January. Democrats hold a
50-44 edge over the Republicans, as
compared with a whopping 62-32
COP line up in the 1858 legislature.
In the Senate, Democrats made a
net gain of three seats and will have
% of Sc members of that chamber
next session. Not single Democratic
incumbent was defeated in Tuesdays
balloting. From the statewide trend
on the house, Republicans may con-
slider themselves fortunate over hav-
ing 81 hold-over senators who did
not have to run for reelection in
1854. Democrats had only seven
hold-overs from the 1853 session.
At least three prominent members
of the COP will not be missed when
the legislature again gets into &C
ton. The people of Carbon and Te-
ton counties did the rest of the state
a distinct service in voting to keep
at home Rep. George O'Connor of
Carbon, and Rep. E. V. Omholt, Te-
ton, both effective members of the
reactionary wing of the Republican
party. The retiring of DR.. Evon An
derson by the voters of Chouteau
county is also a distinct service to
the state, particularly the rural peo-
pie of Montana. DR.. Anderson, it
will be recalled, introduced S.B. 104
of 1853 session which repealed the
State Identification Authority Act
of 1885. Repeal of that act leaves
rural electrics and municipalities
powerless to seek additional power
development by the state in case
other sources of power are not avail
able for such public bodies.
On the plus side is the retun of
such well known and able veteran
legislators as Sen. Herb Haight of
Fergus, and Reps. Earl Clark, Mus
selshell, and Ronald Holtz, Cascade,
after absences of two to four years
from legislative activity.
Democrats, after an absence of
any representation from Flathead,
Missoula, Custer, Lake, and Lewis
& Clark in one or more past ses-
sions, will have one man each on
the house delegations from these
counties. Republicans continue to be
without legislators from Silver Bow,
Valley, Hill, Deer Lodge, while Vel
lowstone, Gallatin, remain bastions
of COP solidarity with all members of
their legislative delegations coming
from that party.
In the senate it's been long time
since Ravalli and Lincoln counties

Withdrawal Indian Support Seen As
 Aid to Propaganda

TUCSON, Ariz., R-One of the nations leading experts on Russia declared Wednesday night if the United States withdrawS com pletely from Indian affairs it will give the Communists a powerful propaganda weapon.
 Dr. Clyde Kluckhorn, director of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University, told the Am erican Anthropological Assn. the US. cannot afford to behave dis honorably towards the Redman.
 John Collier, former commis- sioner of Indian Affairs, told the scientists several bills were before Congress and others are ready for introduction that would do away with the Indian Reorganization Act and withdraw the federal gov ernment from Indian affairs.
 Kluckhorn said, "Such a with drawal on a countrywide scale would be a betrayal.
 "In terms of world affairs, we cannot afford to do it.
 'Three weeks ago the Russian press published an article about the Navajo They took half truths and untruths and made an article that did not make comfortable reading.
 "The Communists are struggl- ing to get the uncommitted third of the world. If we fail in our responsibility to the Indians, we will be giving them a natural in- strument of propaganda"

ABOUT 1854 BUSINESS

Dr. Gordon Mckinley, chief of the Prudential Con- pany of Americas economic staff, says business next year will be at about the same level this year These words, from the top economy expert of the nation s second largest insurance company, are newswOrthy
 Mckinley joins number of other economists who refuse to believe serious recession is in store for the American citizen in 1854. Many economic experts, perhaps majority, predicting business in general will be five to ten percent below the 1853 level, and have been predicting recession for at least year now
 However, Mckinley says there will be a sharp increase in consumer buying in 1854 and that this increase will offset expected decrease in government spending, home building and other capital expend- lures In addition to his prediction general business activity Dr. Mckinley foresees the following develop ments in 1854:
 The number of workers employed will be up slightly, not down, in 1854 The average work week will decline slightly, although average wages will increase about six cents hour. This increase in average wages is one of the reasons Dr. Mckinley pre- diets that consumer buying will increase in 1854
 Since taxes will also be down, this will also in- disposable income, and will probably hike the total amount spent by consumers next year by five six billion dollars. Dr. Mckinley says consumers will enjoy better market next year than they have since 1850, and predicts decline in prices of two percent

Americans Released By Russians Say Detention Camps Are Hell Holes
 By TOM REEDY

BERLIN, LR - Two Americans released by the Russians after years of imprisonment and forced labor said Thursday Soviet de- tention camps are "hell holes" where murder and violent death are commonplace.
 Leland Towers, 28, a merchant seaman from San Francisco, told a news conference he had been a card-carrying Communist Out never again."
 Pvt. Homer Cox, of Oklahoma City, said he was blown off the aircraft carrier Yorktown before the Japanese sank her in 1942 land that was a picnic" com pared to the Russian work camps.
 Towers said he had tried to go to the Soviet Union to see what the mainsprings of Communism was like and had been refused a visa. Then, he explained, he cross ed into Russia, over the Finnish border in 1851 and was arrested, convicted and sentenced to three years 'for breaking in."
 Ex-sailor Cox, a military police man in West Berlin, said he was apparently "drugged" in a cafe the night of Sept. 5, 1949, and when he awoke he was in Russian hands. He said they gave him three years after a quick trial on charges of being part of an Gin telligence organization" and sus- picion of having slain a Russian officer.

The name, sequoia was first

in 1847. It is thought that the
scientific generic name. Sequoia,
was given in tribute to a Chero-
