Wars Cant Be Won
By NucIear Weapons

By the Associated Press

HARTMAN, N. Y, July 81
Gen. Matthew Ridgway, Army
chief of staff. says the Nation
should not forget the value OF
ground forces in an overempha-
sis on air power and nuclear
weapons.
"It is vitality important to re-
member that wars are won by
the achievement of domination
over human beings and the ter
ritory they inhabit, and that only
land forces can achieve. and
| maintain such domination" he
declared last night.
ITO do so they require strong
support from the air and from
the sea. But in the final analysis
it must be the land forces which
assert control and determine the
victory"
Gen. Ridgway told a meeting
OF business. labor, Government
and professional leaders:
II do not by any means mini
mize the vital Importance Of the
portion Of strategy which is pri-
marily aimed at destruction OF
an enemy's war-making potential
in his own homeland. I merely
warn against undue reliance
upon that one aspect Of strategy
at the expense of the other
equally essential aspects. In other
words, sound strategy must
stand firmly on all of its legs"
Bombs Didn't Defeat Nazis.
Gen. Ridgway recalled that In
World War II, despite heavy
bombing. Germany was de.
feated only when its armed
forces were crushed" He added
IF a people has faith in it.

Gen. Ridgway's speech did no
specifically mention the atom
bomb or the H-bomb. However
he referred to a newly developed
"capability for tremendous de.
struction" which has giver
impetus to the search for {
simple solution to the problem
of defeating an enemy's armee
forces.
Fear of Retaliation.
This capacity for destruction
he said, could be Cancelled on
by mutual fear of retaliation

Douglas Raps Meek
On Pledge 10 Back
Eisenhower Policies

Senator Douglas. the Demo-
crat President Eisenhower wants
to defeat for reelection in I'LL
nois this fall. says he has sup
ported Gen. Eisenhower on every
feature of his foreign policy
while the Republican senatorial
candidate has taken an opposite
course"
The Senator issued his state
| ment in response to White House
release of an exchange Of letters
between the President and Jo-'
Seph r. Meek. Senator Douglas
opponent in the senatorial race.
In the letters, Mr.. Meek pledged
to the President his Royalties
and my support as the junior
Senator from Illinois" Gen.
Eisenhower replied on July 81
that he looked forward with an
ticipation" to greeting Mr.. Meek
next January as the junior Sem
ator from Illinois.
Mr.. Meek, who has not received
the Endorsement of the National
Citizens for Eisenhower Con-
gressional Committee, won over
8 other candidates in the Illinois
Republican primary. He support
ed the Bricker amendment limit
/ ing the Presidents treaty powers.
Senator Douglas pointed out
in his statement that in addition
to supporting Gen. Eisenhower
on foreign policy:
| II have also supported the
President on those features of
his domestic program which were
in the best interests of the
eAmerican people, such as hous-
ing, social security, health. etc.
I was working for these programs
years before the President Joined
us. My opponent has fought
these measures throughout his
life"
Hits Eisenhower Advisers.
The Senator added:
Unfortunately the President
has had some bad advisers who
have persuaded him to give away
the peoples heritage in offshore
oil and atomic energy. to cut
back REA (rural electrification)
programs, and to give unfair tax
advantages to the small per-
centage of the American public
who get most OF their income
from dividends.
Evidently the President be-
lieves that these latter measures
are more important to him than
his foreign policy or the humane
features of his domestic program.
He is free to make his choice.
AS for myself. i shall continue
in my course with determination.
but without resentment. I shall
support the President when he
is right and oppose hi policies
when believe them to be wrong.
In good conscience I can do no

A Fine Candidate

Flathead candidate on the state ticket is Dis
trct Judge Dean King, seeking the nomination for
associate justice of the supreme court. Three men
are running two will be the fall ballot with one
elected. Each voter indicates choice in the pri-
mary.
The Flathead is producing candidate in Judge
King who is recognized in Northwestern Montana
an Independent thinker, student of law and man
with heart.
Judge Kings roots go back to Montana pio-
neer days. His father was the late Andrew Jackson
King Flathead's first county treasurer.
Dean King was graduated from Flathead coun-
ty high school, attended Montana State university
and then Leland Stanford.
He was stenographer for the district court from
1911 to 1921, and then there a period of eight
years county attorney interspersed with another
six years of just private practice In 1910 he was
elected to the bench. In 1882 Judge King received
10,563 votes, the most ever accorded a candidate
running in the Flathead.
Montana's supreme court has essentially be-
come Helena-Butte situation with Judge Free
bourn of Butte; Judges Adair, Angstman and An
derson of Helena, and Judge Bottomly, formerly
from Chinook, then Great Falls, and for number
of years in Helena
Seeking the two nominations July 20 are Judge
King, District Judge McClernan of Butte, whose
father district judge and R. V. Bottomly, for
mer attorney general.
Fl The Padbury trial in Helena is an example of
weakening confidence in Montanas Judiciary. Fur
thermore there has been a tendency in this state
to elect politicians to the supreme court rather
than men who have showed themselves able as
judges.
In Dean King, the Flathead provides the state
a candidate for the supreme court who has proved
himself as judge. At times some Of us have dis
agreed with his rulings, but they were studied,
honest and based on law
Judge King will carry big vote in these parts.
He has an uphill job seeking the nomination in
with a man from Butte and another
who has lived for long time in Helena, and be-
fore that Great Falls and Chinook.
His problem is that he has not held state pol
tical office and become better known as a result
The 1852 general election with its 10,563 votes
for King is indication to how the Flathead
eels about its candidate. Problem is to let the
,tate know MR.

JuIU 4th Bombardment

Youngsters of our communities have good
example of laws enacted but not enforced in the sit
uation of independence day and firecrackers.
Sale of fireworks is prohibited by ordinance in
Columbia Falls and KalispeI. Fireworks s S
blossomed Just outside incorporated limits.
Shooting fireworks is also a violation of Flat
head National Forest regulations. We saw no OBJ
servance of the ruling. There is also provision in
Columbia Falls against firecracker use The recent
July 4th noise barrage in Columbia Falls set some
sort of record.
Actually our towns attempting to curb
situation that can be handled only on national
and statewide level.
Answer to the local fireworks problem is the
Montana legislature, and not respective city coun-
cils
The federal government recognizes problems
of fireworks with law that took effect July l.
Henceforth fireworks no longer can be shipped
into the 20 states that prohibit their sale and
use.

Poor Bridges

Flathead county is certainly having its North
Fork bridge problems.
The recent spring flood saw the crossing at
Polebridge in Glacier National Park out of use.
Then Tuesday a logging truck settled with the
west span of the bridge near Blankenships down to
the bottom. Two spans up, and one out
There is a new bridge coming for Polebridge
with salvaged structures from Hungry Horse res
ervor. The county and park service are cooperat-
ing in the new structure that will be makeshit
but provide safe crossing.
Personally think the Polebridge structure
should become entirely the problem of the federal
government Land on one side of the river is
tional park and most of the land on the other,
tional forest.
When it comes to the Coram bridge, the county
has definite responsibility. This responsibility can
not be set aside by having a flimsy bridge and
posting it for light load limits.
The North Fork crossing is essential to develop
nent of the well-started lumber industry at Coram
and Martin City where there large investments
in mills The route also has heavy vacatoner travel
and is valuable in the matter of access to fighting
fires
The bridge six miles east of Coram should be
of sufficient strength to hold logging trucks This
is numbering and vacationing country, and we
should not cut off Flathead communities from ad-
iacent timber and recreational Rickety brid-
ges-or none at aldo just that
Prosperity of the whole Flathead depends on
successful enterprise in all its component parts.
Successful mills and cabin camps in and near Cor
am contribute jobs buying power, wider tax
base, and in the end more prosperity for the
whole Flathead
1t will be interesting to see if Flathead county
government achieves fast results in getting the
Coram bridge back into shape and improved The
structure that existed was inadequate.
In this government through public opinion and
pressure groups, the more populous part of the
county seems to be having considerable success IN
getting new bridges without using county funds.
We recognize that the county cannot legally
spend more than $4,000 without bond issue, and
that an adequate bridge over the North Fork will
cost more than $4,000.
Yet bridge problems can be licked, and we hope
repairs at least are made right away to the North
Fork crossing. MR.

Our thought is that fireworks are entirely out
of place in state of forests and grain fields. On
one hand are constantly aerted to the dangers
of fire-don't flip your cigarette. On the other
youngsters are given matches and baby arsenals
to explode Meanwhile parents send skyrockets up
into the air. and down into timber.
At the same time we should recognize that fire
crackers are great fun for IL year-old There are
surprisingly few injuries considering the constant
blasting. Each year, however, produces its toll The
worst catastrophe of 1854 appears to be the young
girl in Illinois who killed by a skyrocket that
exploded hitting her stomach.
Even so, it is difficult for parents to prohibit
their youngsters from using fireworks if the rest
of the children in the neighborhood have this as
a No. l project.
Answer appears to be FOR us to develop defin-
ite opinions on the whole question Regulations as
to sale and should be solved by the Montana
legislature. Having regulations on a local level
seems useless. result is that independence day
is observed in part by having youngsters break in
effective local laws MRI

Cur Bonk WrongIer
browns in Park

MANY GLACIER - Pat Kays,
18, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Kays, Cut Bank, was crazy about
horses.
When he finished high school
this spring, he went to work for
w. G. Wellman, the park horse
concessionaire.
The youth met his death last
Wednesday (June 30) apparently
while attempting to ford Swift
current creek in pursuit of the
Wellman herd on Cracker flats.
The stream, a half mile above
Sherburne lake, which is now
backing water, is about 100 feet
wide, and now up to IL feet deep
at a place that has been used as
ford. The water was becoming
deeper since Sherburne lake is
damned.
Kays' mount on entering the
cold water apparently "spooked,"
throwing the lad off, and possibly
stunning him. He was a good
swimmer, and the water wasn't
particularly swift.
His body was found Sunday at
3:05 p. m.
Story of the search that started
and ended Sunday is
a tale of hard work by a lot of
men, approximately so of them.
Kays' horse was found on
Cracker flats with the reins on
he neck. 1t turns out that two
ishermen came by, and saw the
lorse with reins dragging. They
cit it had strayed, and put the ,
ems up with the idea that it
would return to the stable. 4
Wednesday night saw the search {
veil underway with fires lit with

lg injured, he would see the fires
nd shout. 4
