the serious matters attendant to adj
ministering Montana schools, and
seeking answers to such questions as
"The Needs of Students, Environ
ment of Teaching" and "The Quality
of Teaching"
The first series of socio-drama was
depicted in the wrong way of
handling these things, after which
the conclave would discuss each prob
lem and finally present in, socio-
drama form the fright way"
administrators were heard to COM
ment on leaving the first socio-drama
session that it was an interesting and
different way of handling this sort
of thing and it appealed to them.
Dinners, breakfasts, and speeches
filled the four days meetings of the
Seventh Annual Administrators Con-
ference in Helena.
There is little new on the Repub-
lican battle front. The GLASGOW
COURIER says they are like the
Mexican Army-everyone wants to
be a general. That is true in politics,
but it isn't only that-this is a power
struggle that has been simmering a
long, long time and finally got so
bitter it had to erupt into the public
limelight.
When Fred Martin wrote his ar
tcile entitled cts Not MIR. Republi-
cam, Just Mr. Rankin" he had re-
prints made and sent out to many
people over the state, and with them
he sent an invitation to subscribe to
his PARK COUNTY NEWS, which
is good publicity.
Then the next week THE BOUL-
DER MONITOR comes back at Mar
tin with an article entitled Erred
Martin Goes Berserk" in which Mar
tin is accused of trying to hurt Aron-
son because MARTIN was purged by
Wesley Castles. This article was
reprinted and circulated, too.
Martin is also accused of revealing
what went on at the secret Republi-
,an meeting, indicating that no one
would have known about it if Fred
hadn't "squealed."
That isn't true, however, because
t wasn't Martin that told me.

Senate Action Seen

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Sic
billion Upper Colorado River storage
project bill, which has been approved
by the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, may reach the Senate floor
for consideration this week This was
predicted by Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon johnson. 1t is programmed
for possible action next week.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-04-22

Rumor still persists that the first
of next week Governor Aronson is
going to appoint Harold McChesney
to the craftsmanship of the Industrial
Accident Board.
Politically, the Democrats are rub
bling their hands together in gleeful
anticipation because it will be one
of the best weapons handed them
since the state of the state address
paragraph on school financing.
However, valiant attempts have
been made to caution the Governor
on the folly of the appointment by
Democrats as well as Republicans, IN
an attempt to put Business ahead OF
Politics.
Looking back over the years some
of the best chairmen of the Industrial
Accident Board have been Republic
cans, so few people, if any, feel 1t
is necessary for Republican admin
istration to pick man whose record
has been antagonistic toward the IN
jured working man as claims agent
for the Liberty National Insurance
Company, formerly the Idaho Com
pensation Company. 1t is direct blow
at the working man and Plan Ill In
dustrial Accident Insurance, because
as claims agent Mr.. McChesney and
his insurance company have been
guilty of more delay and Illustration
of claimants rights than any other
and has had a studied poll
cy of delaying payments even in cases
where there is no question of liability
until the board directed the payments
be made, and even after the board
directed payments McChesney and
his insurance company have stalled.
In fact the man has not only done
his job for the Liberty National In
5urance Company, but has been SO
jealous many fear he has developed
! deep rooted philosophy that has
no place in the chairman of the board.
The Liberty National Insurance
Company handles the bulk of Plan II
in Montana. They have
many cases pending before the board.
Would McChesney be allowed to sit
IN the board in these cases? If he
lid would there be litigation through
he courts? And what would his atti-
ude be towards the claims against |
he company he has served and which |
S carrying most of Plan Ii insurance? |
This is political appointment. Would
lie plan on returning to Liberty Ma
ional when his term is up?
.McChesney has said he is fra
ernity brother of Wesley Castles,
ew executive secretary to Governor
bronson. Charles Luedke, Billings
aw partner of Wesley Castles, has
cen representing McChesney and
liberty National cases frequently in
'illings. Would Luedke become State

FOA VIII Be Shifted
To State Department,
Key Democrats Say
sy ths Assoe,osea press

Key Democrats said today
Secretary Of State Dulles prob
ably Is going to have to take
over the administration of
foreign aid after July / whether
he likes 1t or not.
Senator Sparkman. Democrat,
of Alabama said In an inter-
view he believes q majority of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. Of which he is a
member, will insist on terminal
ing the Foreign Operations Ad-
ministration and turning its af-
fairs over to the State Depart
ment.
IT know that Secretary Dulles
has felt in the past that the
State Department ought to be
kept q purely policy-making
agency" Senator Sparkman
said. "In theory that is all
right. but for practical purposes
the man who gives economic as
sistance to foreign countries Is
bound to be making policy at the
same time"
The FOA is now a separate
governmental agency over which
the State Department exercises
only policy control. Congress
last year ordered that 1t go out
of business at the end Of the fiS-
cal year, June 80, but its director,
Harold e. Stassen, has gone
ahead with the drafting Of q
program of technical and eco
nomic assistance for friendly
Asian countries beyond that
time.
Mr.. StaSsen said in the NBC
radio program, Town Meeting.
yesterday that helping Asia must
involve three factors" "moder-
ate" Government aid and "rea-
sonable loans" financial support
from private sources both inside
and outside Asia, and programs
to provide the knowledge and
skllls needed.
He expressed hope that Eu-
ropean countries already bene-
fitted by earlier United States aid
programs will join this country
Gin creating clearing house OF
cooperation" with Asia where
q shortage of technical skill is
one of the major problems.
Senator Sparkman and SEN
ator Mansfield. Democrat. Of
Montana said they would expect
Mr.. Stassen to continue to head
the assistance program as either
an undersecretary or an Assist
ant Secretary of State. Both said
they felt that on the whole he
had done good job.
