L,AFFAlRE coRsI:
More Clashes Are Aheod
On Issue Of immigration

immigrant total from 154,657 TO
25l.o00 and would junk national
quotas.
Immigrants would be selected to
unity families, to provide certain oc-
cupational skills, to give haven to
political and religious refugees and
to further American interests In
other countries.
The odds seem heavily against
any bill to repeal the McCarran-
Walter Act. A nose-count by Con-
greSsional Quarterly shows that al
most half Of the Congressman were
sufficiently satisfied with the exist
ing law to have voted for it over
presidential veto In 1852. The
views Of newer Congressman have
not been expressed in . roll-call
vote. but there Is no reason to think
they are overwhelmingly for repeal.
Presidents PIeo
A less drastic bill to amend the act
might stand more chance, especial.
ly If it had President Eisenhower
behind it.
The President asked for unspeci-
fed amendments to the "discrimin-
atory +. inequitable" law in 1858
and this year. But he has not fol-
lowed UP with drive for the amend
ments.
So the Walter side feels the basic
immigration law is safe at least for
this year
The attempt to liberalize admin
istration of the refugee act may gain
more Roadway, however.
That law was passed after the
1913 Displaeed Persons Act had adj
mitted 205.000 persons made home
less by World War II but had left
stranded thousands of other persons
lodging the harsh rule of commu-
nism. The new relief act was de-
signed to supplement the McCarran-
Walter Act. not to amend it.
But its administration was put
in the hands of Mr.. Mcleod, man
who. his opponents charge, would
like to see the program fail. Mr..
Mcleod says he is doing the best he
can. He points out that the secur-
ity regulations built into the law
make the job Of checking and clear
ing the refugees tremendous one.
And the requirement that each
refugee have sponsor in this coun-
try makes it difficult to bring in
some persons who are qualified.
Corsis Shuttle
Some three months ago the
friends Of the Refugee Act thought
they had scored notable victory
when Secretary Of State Dulles in
vited Mr.. Corsi to tackle the logjam.
Mr.. Corsi claims he was hired to
straighten out the program and
keep it rolling. Mr.. Dulles, however,
says it was only a 90-day assign
ment to survey the jam.
Mr.. Corsi made his survey all
right, but spent most of the 90 days
lighting with Representative Walter
over immigration policy and over his
own security clearance.
Last week Mr.. Corsi's assignment
was "terminated"-as q sop to Mr..
Walter, according to Mr.. Corsi; at
the completion of the survey, &C.
cording to Mr.. Dulles.
Administration OF the Refugee Act
was firmly In the hands of Mr.. Nc
Leod.
The fight is not ended. however.
A Senate judiciary Subcommit-
tee opened an investigation into the
firing of Mr.. Corsi last week, and
another broad study of the immi-
grafton problem still is pending.
There Is no reason to believe that
Democratic critics of the admins
tration win let the subject drop.

bI hIChAhU fhIhLUND
Last weeks furore over the custer
Of immigration Expediter Edward
j. Corsi was Just one phase of a long
fight over Americas immigration
laws. More such clashes are sure
to come.
The basic conflict stems from diff
ferences in philosophy. On one side
are those who continually look out
ward and ask how this country can
make life better for people all over
the world. On the other side are
those who prefer to look inward
who like the country the way 1t is
and ask how we can keep foreigners
from changing 1t.
Naturally the two groups clash
over immigration. The first group
-fnen like Mr.. Corsi and Chairman
Emanuel Celler Of the House Judi
ciary Committee-wants to permit
more foreigners to enter this coun-
try and wants to drop quotas based
on national origins. Their main
argument is that q more enlightened
immigration policy win help Amer
lea in her foreign relations.
On the other side, men like r. w.
Scott Mcleod, administrator of the
Bureau OF Security and Consular
Affairs. and Representative Francis
e. Walter, co-author of the basic
immigration law, want to keep the
number of newcomers low and want
RI Jirra xrF.inrstkU ~
Northern and Western Europe. They
argue that their policy will keep
Americas national origins balance
the same as it is.
Conflicting Laws
The conflicting PHILOSOPHERS are
written into two immigration laws.
The basic law. the McCarran-W Wal
ter Act, reflects the restrictive point
of view. The other. the Refugee
Relief Act Of 1853, mirrors the
open-handed viewpoint. It would
permit 2l4,000 refugees to enter
this country over a three-year Pc
riod without regard for quotas set
up in the 1852 McCarran-Walter
Act.
The Corsi side is mad not only
because the basic law ID a restric-
tive one, but also, they say, because
the refugee act is administered in
q restrictive way. The law has been
operating for almost half its life,
they point out, yet only about 1000
refugees have been admitted.
ACTUALLY the picture is not quite
that dark. Almost $4,000 persons
have been given permission to come
in under the act. Only LIT, as of
Mach Is, were technically refugees
displaced persons. that is. An
other 1892 were expellees-mostly
Germans thrown out of Red-con-
trolled areas. And $50 were escap-
ees from Communist territory. The
rest were relatives Of American citi-
Gems or were orphans.)
So the attack by the Corsi group
is two-pronged. First they want to
repeal the McCarran- Walter Act,
and, second. they want to loosen
up administration Of the refugee
act. Il.
As Of last week they weren't get
ting to first base with either drive.
Many Amendments
Introduction Of bills to repeal or
amend the McCarran-W Walter Act
has become q popular game on
Capitol Hill. More than go such
bills have been introduced this year.
But none is given much chance Of
approval.
The leading repeal measures are
twin bills introduced by Representa-
tive Celler and by Senator Herbert
H. Lehman, Democrat. Of New York.

WHEN A All CLUB was organized
IN CUR community several years ago
Ahe raising of certified seed seemed to
be the most practical project for our
boys, since we live in a dryIand area.
We found that it was necessary to clean
the seed by the best possible method
so we decided to install our own clean
ing mill.
We had an old II by 2O-foot building
on our farm which was remOdeled for
the mill Our biggest problem was IN
building the bins because many angle
cuts were necessary to make bin
that tapered from the top to the bot
tom, insuring an even flow of wheat.
1T took us about week to build the two
bins.
The grain is first elevated from the
truck into an by 11-foot bin directly
over the mill The grain is fed into the
mill by adjusting a slide door. From
the cleaning mill the grain is elevated
into larger bin. A slide door regulates
the flow into 3O-gaIIon oil drum. From
here it is augered out into another
truck Cleaning grain in this manner
reduces the labor, as you do not have
to watch the operation once you get it
started
Our mill and treating plant cost $3.50.
We estimate the total cost of the prof.
ect, including labor and materials, at
$745. We hope to increase our yield by
planting better seed, and we feel that
we are doing just that with our new
set-up. The first grain to be cleaned was
my son Jerry's registered Pilot wheat
which brough him blue ribbons at the
Harlem and KalispeII seed shows.
If we were to do it over again there

Shelterbelt Grows
81 Feet a Year
By GORDON Il. MILLS
Le4Ois essd Clark Comfy

OUR SHELTERBELT is planted on
land that was first plowed and summer
fallowed. Early in May, 1852, we
planted $50 cottonwood trees and gold
en- willows.
We ran a ditcher down the field and
planted each tree with shovel along
the inside edge of the ditch The trees
are Is feet apart, with 16 feet between
the rows We run irrigation water in
the ditch and flood irrigate between
each row.
Early every spring the trees are
pruned. Manure is spread on the land
and we cultivate real deep with Pinch
shoveIs on the duckfoot After each ir-
rigation, as soon as the ground is dry
enough, we cultivate again with the
regular duclzfoot shovels. The trees
should not be irrigated after the first
of September.
our shelterhe1t has grown an average
of 31A feet year. which we think is
very good.

Leveling Reclaimed Brushland
Increases Hay Production
By BILL ROSS, Blaine con'sty

First we bulldozed as much brush
and trees as possible into the old creek
channel When the brush and trees
were off a scraper went in, taking
dirt from the high spot and dumping
it over the brush in the creek channel
and filling in low spots in the field
1 was quite proud of this field and
it was ready to seed in the spring
of 1858. Before we got it seeded, how
ever, it started to rain. We got 10
inches of rain in two weeks and Clear
Creek went on one of the rampages
that occur about once every 20 to 25
years. AS a result, the top dirt from
part of this field was washed away
and we had to haul in more dirt, which
set us back a year in seeding it down.
In much of our 1eve1ing we have
made cuts no to three feet in places.
1t has surprised me how quickly these
spots come back to good production.
On several fields / have been tempted
to try border strips for irrigating. How
ever, we have a fall of one foot to
every hundred going down stream and
quite a slope towards the creek, so
our borders would have to be very
close together
The cost of 1eveling has been from
$50 TO SIS an acre. Several people have
asked me if it wouldn't be cheaper
to buy more irrigated land if I needed
hay, or buy the hay. They probably
have a point But good hay land is
hard to buy and I've seen hay selling
for $50 a ton and hard to get. would
rather raise mine and have it close
to home when 1 need it. would also
rather see water spreading on field
than going down some low places and
missing the high spots.
In our leveling, ditch work and irri-
CATION structures I've made good use
of the assistance and advice available
from Mr.. Pipal of the Soil Conserva-
ton Service and Herb DeVries, our
county agent

Wheatgrass Stand
Good on AlkaIi
By CL4RENCE BAILEY,
CbOnteaH County

IN APRIL, 1858, I Experimental with
tall wheatgrass on 10 acres of alkai
ground and have gotten very good
stand.
Six pounds of seed was planted per
acre, along with 40 pounds of oats as
a nurse crop. This was cut for hay in
the fall, but it didn't look as if much
grass was growing. However, in the
fall of 1854 a good stand was estab-
lished. reaching a height of about four
feet.
A seed crop was harvested from this
patch and samples were sent to the
Bozeman Testing Laboratory 1t tested
81 per cent pure seed with SO per cent
termination.

WE HAVE A considerable acreage
along the small creeks in the Bear
paw mountains and foothills that is
irrigated and used chiefly for hay.
In general these creek bottoms and
flats are very productive, but most
of them are hard to irrigate as they
are very uneven and quite often cut
up by channels which have been cut
by high water where the creek has
overfIowed.
In the spring we are usually without
help and we're busy calving, trying to
get some crop in and half dozen
other jobs, so the general practice is
to set the water several times day
and then get busy on another job.
In order to get over our hay land
faster and do better job of irrigating
I started leveling some of my fields
in 1947, and since that time have tried
to level a field or two each year, as
finances would permit. On the first
field 1 leveled, there was a small
couIee three or four feet deep and
from so to 100 feet wide. In a matter
of only a few hours after the water
was turned into the field waste water
was going down this coulee.
When we filled in this coulee we
took most of the dirt from nearby
gunnbo side hill. After the field was lev
eled we seeded it to oats. The second
year it was seeded to alfalfa, with oats
as a nurse crop. The alfalfa and oats
looked pretty sick and yellow on the fill
dirt, so we put manure and phosphate on
these parts of the field. After two years
the yield was just as good as the rest
of the field The phosphate and man
IRE helped and I also think the alfalfa
roots got through the fill dirt and down
to the original top soil.
Another tield we worked on was cut
through in several places by an old
creek channel. six to eight feet deep
in places. The field was covered with
brush, willows, boxelders and rose
bushes, Making hay field out of it
seemed hopeless.

Pachyderm PiIfers Passport

BRENNERO, Italy, R-'I tell you, I had a passport, but the elephant ate it."
 That's what Leopold Stovcek, 30, of Vienna, told frontier guards in the Brenner Pass last night.
 And he got away with it.
 They let him continue his jour- ney to Vienna when other mem bers of the Togni circus troupe bore out his story. Stovcek, an acrobat with the circos, left his passport on table too near the elephants, four days ago in Rome. Other troupers insisted it was true: an elephant reached out it's trunk, scooped up the passport, and swallowed it.

London Beauties Get Cold Shoulder From African King

KAMPALA, Uganda, R-King Mutesa II of Buganda, better known to his friends as Freddie, 5 doesn't plan open house for the London beauties he met during his British exile. Two who fol- lowed him to his royal capital in three days were given the air.
 Mutesa, 31-year-old Kabaka or native king of Buganda province in the Uganda protectorate, Brit ish East Africa, was exiled to England for two years. He had de- manded a definite date for inde- pendence within the British Con- monwealth for his 90O,000 sub jects and also opposed a British plan for a federation of East Afri- can territories.
 Earlier this week he was per mitted to return to his throne, wife, and young son. Then embar- rassing things started happening.
 Marcelle Parker, 28, a statu- esque beauty who appears as a nude in London's edition of the Folies Bergere, flew in on one way ticket Wednesday and an ounced she was "Freddie's guest. |" A palace delegation, headed by Mutesa'S elder brother Prince Henry Kimera, got her aboard a London-bound plane. Henry was to accompany her, but managed at the last minute to miss" the plane which took off with Marcelle screaming and pounding on the door.
 Yesterday another British beau ty, Phillida Stephens, swooped down to visit Freddie. Mutesa's aide-de-camp and a swarm of po- lice and immigration officials de- cended on her hotel. A royal hint said Miss Stephens may have gone to Dakar in French West Africa.
