Nixon Under Attack
By The Democrats
by the Associated Press

Charging the Eisenhower adj
ministration with "ineptitude,"
veteran Democrat Alben Barley
of Kentucky has opened his cam
paign for a fifth Senate term with
a frontal assault on Republican
domestic and foreign policies.
The 76-year-old Barley told
rally at Shelbyville, KY, last night
the Republican regime Seems
dedicated to big business" as he
took aim at Eisenhower admins
tration policies in the farm, labor,
business, power and foreign fields.
But in Montclair, NJ, Richard
M. Nixon, who succeeded Barley
as Vice President, said that "for
the first time in IL years the
world is at peace and that's a
great accomplishment for the Eli
senhower administration"
Nixon came under attack by
Democratic Sen. Olin Johnston of
South Carolina who said in ITALIA
hassee, Fla, last night that the
Eisenhower administrations Sec
ond in command has been "dis-
grazing the high office he holds"
in campaign speeches.
Johnston said Nixon has been
claiming the Eisenhower admin
istration has fired Communists,
fellow travellers and security risks
from the federal payroll 'tby the
thousands" But said the South
Carolinian, Nixon's statements do
not jibe with sworn testimony of
Philip Young, Civil Service Com
mission chairman. Johnston ac-
cused Nixon of using the "big
lie" technique.

Sentenced To
Life Imprisonment

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, R-Cpl.
Claude Bachelor, who volunteer
ed for Army service at 16, faces a
life in prison, a sentence imposed
by general court martial that
found him guilty of collaborating
with the enemy and informing on
fellow POW's in Korea.
Bachelor has the right of ap-
peal with his case subject to re-
view.
The thin, pale corporal en-
braced his mother and murmured,
81 can take it," when the verdict
was returned yesterday after the
military panel had deliberated
his fate for 2 hours and IA min
utes.
Through his civilian counsel,
Joel Westbrook of San Antonio,
Bachelor told the board he had
nothing to say concerning his con-
viction.
Bachelor, %, was prisoner
of the Chinese Communists by
the time he was 18 and spent 38
months in their prisoner of-war
stockades. It was in that 38
months of confinement, his fell
low prisoners said, that Bachelor
took up the Communist line and
tattled on other us. prisoners.
The Kermit, Tex, youth was
one of % prisoners who refused
repatriation and was one of two
prisoners who finally sought
United Nations sanctuary. Fear,
he testified during his court-mar-
tial, kept most of the other 81
POW's on the Communist side.
He was found guilty on three
counts of collaborating with the
enemy.

surveys. 1t found better than usual
ice conditions but at time bat
tered through ice ranging from
six to 10 feet in thickness.
Sometimes three feet of ice
can stop you," Commander Trick
ey said. "But this ice had less
pressure on it and was easier to
break"
The expedition met and worked
with the 6,500-ton Canadian pat
rol ship Labrador, which had
completed a voyage from the east
coast across the icy wastes, the
first naval vessel and the largest
ship ITO make such a passage. The

Mccarthy Files
Bill of Exception
To Censure Report

WASHINGTON, R - Sen. Nc
earthly kept under wraps today
most of the defense strategy he
plans against a special investi-
cation committees report asking
the Senate to censure him.
Mccarthy and his lawyer, Ed
ward Bennett Williams, formally
rejected the censure findings yes
terday in a bill of exceptions filed
with the committee.
They urged Senate members to
keep an open mind-"avoid pre-
objection and predisposition" -
until McCarthy's defense is heard.
The bill of exceptions listed
arguments as to why the unani-
nous committee report should be
turned down. But it gave few
clues as to how Mccarthy in
tends to persuade the Senate to
do this when it meets in special
session Nov. as a jury to "try"
the censure charges.
The bill of exceptions did in
dictate this: McCarthy's defense
will be lengthy, and will include
references to myriad precedents
countless presidents" design
ed to- prove wrong the commit
tees findings.
The Wisconsin Republican,
silent on the course he will follow
since the report was issued last
Monday, may speak out on a
radio-tv program he is scheduled
to appear on Sunday evening.

First Bridge Completed
On New Copper River
Highway To Cordova

CORDOVA, REThe first pre-
stressed concrete bridge to be
erected in Alaska has been ac-
copied by the Bureau of Public
Roads from the contractor, M. p.
Munter Company of Seattle.
The 225 foot span over the
Eyak River is also the first per-
manent bridge on the new Copper
River Highway. The bridge is five
miles from Cordova on the route
linking the city with its major
airport.
The seaport city of Cordova at
present has no overland connec-
ton with the rest of the terri
tory. The projected Copper River
Highway would end this isolation
and open scenic land vastly rich
in mineral deposits.
The unique feature of the bridge
is that it is built of pre-cast con-
crete slabs containing tensioned
steel rods.

House Committee Agrees Ocean
Passenger Service To Alaska Must
Be Maintained At All Costs


ger service to Alaska from Amer
lean ports must be maintained
even at cost of subsidy if every
thing else fails, three members of
a special seven-man House sub
committee agreed today.
The three, Reps. Allen R-Cali0,
Maillard R-CaliH, and Shelley
D-CaliH, were to join fellow
committee members this after
noon in opening hearing on other
Pacific Coast maritime problems.
The sessions will continue into the
next week.
Rep. Allen said yesterday that
'there must be" numerous other
ways besides subsidies to make it
profitable for American passenger
ship to serve Alaska, but added:
"We must do what's necessary,
even substitute, as a last resort"
The three also said:
l. Transfer of large numbers of
American ships to foreign registry
is a bad thing, but conditions
must be created whereby Ameri-
can owners can operate American
ships, under American flags with
American crews.
2. West Coast private yards
should and must, for the sake of
the national interest, get a big
ger share of shipbuilding con-
tracts.
The three, with committee chair
man Thor Tollefson R-Washo,
Reps. Magnuson O-Wash and
Norblad R-Ore) and Delegate E.
L. Bartlett D-Alaska, were to
open the sessions after inspecting
Seattle area shipbuilding and ship
repair facilities.
Criticism was voiced concern
ing government competition with
private lines, in the form of the
Military Sea Transportation Ser
vice.
Rep. Shelley pointed out that
MSTS ships carry military de-
pendents and Civil Service en-
ployes and said of their opera
tons:
"Troops, yes, but the others,
MOI"
The three also added they did
not want to "pre-judge" Alaska
passenger service and await testi-
mony to be given on that subject
Monday.

Hometown Merchants

Modern day shoppers are certainly coupon
stamp and prize conscious
Columbia Falls merchants recognize this situa-
ton in their new "Buy 1t in Columbia Falls cam
pagn. Stores making effort to attract Gus
toners and in addition offer $100 weekly prize
to interest patrons and delight winners.
We believe Columbia Falls has the most prom
ise of any smaller Montana city. Industry has con-
sidered this favorite spot home building has been
active and at the same time retail business is ex-
panding
Columbia Falls does not even think in terms of
rivalling Kalispe trade center, but during the
past years "Buy 1t in Columbia Falls" has become
increasingly convenient. 1t is wise to shop every
home town first
We chalk up the "Buy 1t in Columbia Falls"
campaign as essentially merchants eager to
serve customers
AS customers are inclined to be critical of
businesses not expanding to expectations At the
same time overlook the fact that trade dol
lars make these businesses grow and increases ele-
ments of competition
1t is to the interest of every resident of a COM
munity that town develops better business sec
ton. It would seem that the "Buy 1t in Columbia
Falls" project leads to such end. MR.

Made in Montana

Northwestern Montana has achieved consider
able progress in industry that belongs to vaca-
tioning area.
Too often we think of industry as factories en-
ploying so to 500 men, and do not recognize the
worth of a single man woman with manufactu-
ing idea who succeeds in attracting dollars to the
community.
Two wears ago. Frank Wheelock, who lives be-
tween Columbia Falls and Whitefish, developed a
truly Montana industry. He used his farm hammer
mill to grind up needles of local fir, balsam and
cedar branches to make incense that he calls
"Campfire Memories" The evergreen needle pow
der was mixed with binder to form a dough. Fur
ther stages of manufacturing was extrusion by an
ordinary grease gun plus series of razor blades as
cutters to shape the incense, which was then baked
and boxed for shipment.

at the rate of 10000 to 10000 boxes month, and
find markets from coast to coast Up to 20 local
people are employed part-time in this home in

Gasoline Prices

Montana's increasing importance as an oil pro-
oucing state does not to reflect itself in lower
prices for gasoline We may have part OF the Willis
ton BASIN longer developed fields and several refn-
cries. but we still pay much and more for gaso-
line than do motorists in some states that still have
to see their first producing oil well. The fellow
pumping gas on the corner isn't the profiteer nor
is it our local wholesalers.
We recognize that Montana has great distances,
scattered markets. the need for high gas taxes, and
there may be reasons for somewhat increased prices
in the state. Yet there seems unfairness.
The situation is of serious concern to the Lewis
town Daily News published by Ken Byerly, an out
standing editor He remarked in his June issue:
"The question should be asked again and again:
Why must Montana pay the highest prices in the
nation for gasoline when produce crude oil right
here and refine it into gasoline in our own state?
Why must we pay these phantom freight rates?
"Not only should these questions be asked. We
should also be able to corrective action, Civ
ing us the farer prices to which we are entitled IN
Montana"
