Senate Study Asked
On Unobirusive Way
To TeIeyise Hearings
sy N. A..osio,sd Pres,

The Senate was urged yeSter-,
day to study ways for providing
"unobtrusiye coverage' Of COM
mittee hearings BY televisiofi.
radio and motion picture cam.
eras.
A rules subcommittee, in q
report on procedures for inves-
tigating committees. said that
technical objections to coverage
by these media can be largely
overcome by modern equipment.
Request by Witnesses.
The three-member subcon-
mittee, headed by Senator Jen-
ner, Republican. Of Indiana.
recommended that the Senate
adopt a rule under which q wit
ness could request, ION grounds
of distraction, harassmelt. or
physical discomfort, that dur
ing his testimony television, mo-
tion picture and other cameras
and lights not be directed at
him." At
The witnesses request, under
the proposed rule, would be acted
on by the committee members
present at the hearing.
The subcommittee also rec
commended that the rules COM
mittee study "the practicability
of installing up-to-date facilities
suitable for unobtrusiye cover
age of committee hearings by
the various communications and
news media"
In its discussion Of coverage,
by TV. radio and motion pic
lures the subcommittee said
some of the objectives are based
on technical aspects, such as
"distracting equipment and per-
sonnet"
But it added that technical
progress in the communications
industries and the installation Of
up-to-date facilities In the Capt.
tol can obviate most Of the OBJ
jections on this score
The report said that meeting
rooms in the United Nations
headquarters in New York are
equipped with facilities which
permit U. N. proceedings to be
broadcast. photographed and
televised without intrusion upon
the participants"
Hearings Become "CarnivaIs."
More serious, however, than
the technical aspects, the sub
committee said. ARE the criti-
cisms asserting that radio
broadcasting. motion picture
photography and teleyision de-
grade and cheaper the legisla-
tive process: transform hearings
into carnivals. bring out the
thespian rather than the states

and embarrass witnesses"

The most curious moment of

YELLOWSTONE VALLEY
ELECTRIC COOP TO
meet MARCH s

Yellowstone Valley Electric Coop,
Huntley, will hold its annual meeting
Tuesday, March 8, at the Labor
Temple in Billings, Max Mathews, CO.
OPP manager, has announced. The
meeting will get started at Ii a. m.
In making the announcement
Mathews states that the cooperative
had another good year in 1854. "0ur
gross sales were $299,545, which IS
an increase of $24,687 over 1858.
Our patronage capital amounted to
63,085.19. Our operating costs have
continued to increase because ma
terial costs have gone up and labor
costs are higher, but in spite of these
increased costs we are able to say
that electric power is the one COM
modify bought today that is still the
same price as it was in 1887 when
this cooperative started operation"
Mathews said.
During the year the coop built 30.7
miles of line, ran % third wires, 122
new services, changed 148 services
and changed 81 miles of primary
line. Also, 103 new transformer in
stallations were made; 1872 trans
formers changed, and IL poles re-
placed and another So poles stubbed.
In August the cooperative made
an advance repayment of $4,000
on it's loan from the government. This
brings total advance payments by the
farmer-owned utility to $309,064.87.
A feed will be served to coop pa
irons at the annual meeting, and in
addition prizes will be awarded |
throughout the length of the pro-
gram.

"The present law" Wood pointed
out, "is very unfair to loggers, intra-

other types of carriers, with the re-
suit that some are paying exceedingly
high rates per ton-mile of travel.

vote in the Senate last Friday.
AS pointed out last week, Senators
Wallace (R-Lake) and Larson (R-
Sanders) made much over the allie
cation that approval of the compact
by the several northwest states would
protect consumptive uses of Montana
water against non-consumptive (pow-
er generation) uses of our water in
downstream states. Also pointed out
was that neither spokesman for the
compact was able to satisfactorily
answer questions by Senate Minority
Leader Leroy Anderson (D-Pondera)
as to what protection the compact
offered Montana against such con-
sumptive uses as irrigation and in
dustrial operations in Idaho, Wash
ington or Oregon.

The desire for more "study" and
the stalling tactics of the coalition
became so rancid that Rep. Paul
Ringing (D-Meagher) finally in dis
gust told his colleagues: 81 know the
way this vote is going to go (. 1t

come if | put on my hat and go home.
If were in the heavy trucking bust
ness | would recommend study until
at least 1000 AID, and then study
some more" Continuing, Ringing
asked, "Whose going to pay the
talked about higher freight rates
if the gasoline tax and the gross
vehicle weight tax are increased?
/. ;" Finally, he counselled, "Many
of US tend to forget who sent US up
here and why we're here. Isn't it time
we forgot personal reasons and
work for the best interests of the
state?"

All this week black cloth has draped

McCabe since he became that county's
representative in the Upper House
in 1868. George McCabe died last
Sunday night in ST. Johns Hospital
following cerebral hemmorhage of
several days before that. He was Ia
years old.
Senator McCabe, for many years
Democratic leader along the Chi
line', was one of the "old-t timers"
in the development of the oil industry
in northern Montana, going back
over a period of forty years.
He served on the Montana Oil IL
Gas Commission from 1913 through
1852 as chairman of the commission.
In 1948 he was chairman of the Mon

Rep. Schumacher, in opening the
case for proponents of the bill,
pointed out that despite the fact
Montana exports 30 per cent of the
gas refined in the state to neighbor-
ing states, that Montana's gasoline
prices are the highest in the ma
tion-ranging from one to four
cents a gallon higher than in adj
joining states where Montana re-
fined gasoline is marketed.
"Why does Montana deserve this
discrimination Schumacher asked.
"Why is gasoline refined in Montana
higher than in neighboring states?"
Schumacher then went on to point
out that despite freight rate reduc-
tions and the opening of pipelines,
gasoline prices have not come down
to Montana's consumers. Also, he
pointed out, "Wyoming crude is
shipped back and sold cheaper in
Wyoming than in Montana.

the committee, "HB 418 holds no
