You hear more often every day
from Republicans, mind you, that
D'Ewart doesn't have chance in
the Senate race. Their only hope is
to scare up trouble in the Demo-

their own troubles with .fratricide.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

The battle of Mccarthy and the
Army still finds the US. Army stand
ing it's ground, with no indications
of seeking a strategic retreat OF
abandoning the front.
The re-broadcasts of the Wednes-
day hearings brought further into
the light the intensity with which
Mccarthy has infiltrated the U. S.
Government and the U. S. Army. He
seems to have spies in Army Intelli-
gence, the State Department, every
where.
1t probably recalls to many the re-
cent terror that was prevalent in the
Hitler Gestapo where everyone spied
on everyone else, and the Russian
Secret Police where even the biggest
mogul met his waterloo in front of a
firing squad because of shifting pow
ers and stooges.
1t is interesting also that the pres
ent hearings allow legal counsel with
right of REORGANIZATION - some
thing that hasn't been allowed in Nc
Carthy's committee before.
Wednesday Mccarthy refused to
reveal the names of his stooges in U.
S. Army Intelligence.
Could Mccarthy be cited for
contempt?
Is Mccarthy protecting "secur-
ity risk" in Army Intelligence?
Would the man who turned over
confidential material from stop Sc
cret" government files to Mccarthy
investigators that have ended up in
9 public hearing be in the same cata-
CORY as many others who have been
accused and lost their jobs under the
classification of security risk" for
being blabber-mouths and violating
their oath to their government and
their department?
Others have gone to Jail for re-
fusing to reveal names of their as
sociates. Wasn't it Howard Fast
who spent year in jail because he
refused to answer a similar question
before a congressional committee?
And what about the doctor in New
York who just had his license re-
voked for six months because he re-
fused to reveal names of certain peo-
Pile?
| am not questioning the propri-
ETY. of the law that has sentenced
others because l am not prepared or
qualified to do so. But whether it
is the law or not most people consid-
er it cowardly to reveal sources and
names even when it would protect
their own well-being.
The point that occurs to me is
that our codes of justice are sup
posed to put NO MAN ABOVE
THE LAW. If it was contempt
for one is it not contempt for an
other?
We are treading on dangerous and
reacherous ground in Washington.

ment of the United States and the
State of Montana, but | have never
taken an oath to uphold the regula-
tions and recommendation of a gov
eminent bureau"
Last week the majority of the Su-
preme Court handed down a deci-
sion that will grant another chance
at life for Frank R. Dryman, SEN
fenced twice to hang for the murder
of Clarence Pellet, Shelby citizen
and father of large family.
Frank Dryman was 10 years old
when he was first sentenced to hang
without benefit of trial three years
ago, shortly after being released from
Navy Hospital and taken to his
home under guard with medical
record that said he was insane.
Frank Dryman, declared insane by
the Navy and two Montana psychia-
trists is still in the shadow of the gal
lows and the condition which put him
there is getting no better. What
Dryman needs is medical care, not
solitary confinement in prison.
Montana citizens read the daily pa
pers which say the Supreme Court
has granted the third trial and for
get he has had but one trial. He has
been sentenced to hang twice. The
first time without benefit of coun-
sci or jury. We should call that
trial?
The majority opinion written by
Justice Freebourn and signed by
Chief Justice Adair and Justice Bot
5omly grants a change of venue in a
place other than Toole county and
not adjacent thereto.
The minority opinion, dissent,
vas written by Justice Anderson and
in by Justice Angstman.
Their opinion stated that counsel for
he defendant had cited great many
)ther errors (which suggest seri-
,us questions, but as the majority
opinion didn't mention them 'no use
'ul purpose would be served to dis
uss them"
| have been wondering what the
SERIOUS questions" were that the dis
enting Justices might have found?
Could it be that if they had gone
nto the matter they would have felt
hat when a mans life is going to be
aiken he should have available the
esources to defend himself against
he strength of the State of Mon
ana?
Could it be that they might have
uestioned the propriety Of the con-
ession? Or the method by which it
yas secured?
Could it be that they might have
uestioned the judges instructions
} the jury? n
Montana laws relative to crimes t
unstable by death are archaic and t
0stly. However, the court cannot q
rite the law. They must interpret S
only. I
If we only sentence the penniless S
nd the strangers in our midst to 4
ang, without even prefunctory con- a
deration are we serving justice if t
e don't give them access to the il
me services as the State? c

matter consider murder an act o
sanity any more.
Why don't we make some moves il
the legislature to set up an accept
able form for handling these people
Why don't we make some effort tt
revise the archaic methods of hand
ling people who fall over the brink
to disastrous violence? Why do we
leave our laws so that it is necessary
to kill the outlaw whose condition is
such that it is not safe for society
to have him free?
Great strides are being made to-
ward understanding the human mind
and treating the results of mental
illness of practically every kind.
Nothing is accomplished by errad-
ication. How many murders have
been committed in Montana since
Dryman was sentenced to hang
with swift, vigilante Justice?
The insane person who is kept in
solitary in prison, deprived of priv
ileges because of his violence and
punished severely grows steadily
worse. And the society that allows
it has precious little to crow about! !
One of the best public services
performed at the University is prob
ably the INSTITUTES held at vari-
Gus times on subjects of interest and
to students and citizens
of the state.
For several years there has been
a FARMER LABOR INSTITUTE
held yearly when students, farmers,
laborers and professional people hold
open forums pertinent to human re-
lationships in all phases of social and
economic problems.
Most recent was the INSTITUTE
ON INDIAN AFFAIRS IN MON
TANA. This institute attracted peo-
pie from all over the state and in
GUIDED student participation in the
forums and workshops. The students
planned and carried the entire pro-

There were those who felt that the

t can be said that few held the opin-

For Showdown
On Bonn Arms
Assembly Convenes

Hanging in BuIonce
w .he Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 29.-The French
National Assembly CROPPED in
discussions today toward its
final decision about the prob
lem of West German rearma-
ment. The Deputies convened at
A pm. for the showdown on
the fate of both the Western
defense alliance and Premier
Pierre Mendes-France's govern
ment.
A heavy police force stood
guard outside the Assembly to
prevent any mass demonstra-
tions while the Deputies come to
the decision which they have
delayed for four years.
Andre lie Troquer, respondent
in white tie, boiled shirt and
tailcoat. sat in the presidents
chair on platform to guide
the debate.
Premier Mendes-France sat in
the center of the first row of the
auditorium, with many of his
ministers alongside him.
Two Ballots Scheduled.
The Deputies have been called
on to vote twice today. An ad-
verse vote either time would
force the resignation of Mr..
Mendes-France and might lead
the United States and Britain
to forge ahead with the rearma-
ment of West Germany without
respect to Frances opinion on
the recruiting of a half million
German troops for Western
defense.
The Premier was expected to
win, but by even narrower mar
gins than Mondays 289-251 bal
lot to admit the Bonn govern
ment into the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Mr. Mendes- France made both
votes confidence issues, stalking
his governments life on their
outcome. Final speeches were to
come first and the actual ballot
ing was not expected to start
until tonight. possibly as late as
midnight t6 pm. EST.
Ratification Is KEY Issue.
The key vote was on ratifica-
tion OF the treaty admitting West
Germany and Italy into the new
Western European Union, along
with France. Britain, the Meth
erlands, Belgium and Luxem-
bourg. This pact--the one which
actually spells out German re-
armament-was defeated on its
first reading in the Assembly last
Friday. Mr.. Mendes-F France then
brought it up again as a new
bill.
The second ballot was set on
the question of admitting West
Germany into the North Allan
tic Treaty Organization. The
Deputies approved this treaty's
separate articles Monday night
but its ratification as a whole
also was required.
In theory. no debate can pre-
cede French vote of confidence,
but the deputies can explain their
votes. The rules say that only
five minutes can be allowed for
each explanation, but this rule
is interpreted so literally that
the talk sometimes goes on for
hours.
