Montana Senator
Opposes D'Ewart
For Interior Post

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Muir
ray O-Mont said Saturday if
President Eisenhower dominates
Wesley A. D'Ewart to be Asst.
Secretary Of Interior he will seek
formal Senate rejection of the
nomination.
Murray outlined through his
office here his strategy which
could lead to a political hassle in
the Senate next year. He is chair
man of the Senate Interior Com
mittee which passes on Interior
Department nominations.
The Senate hasn't formally
turned down a presidential NOM
nation since 1851 when, a check
showed, former President Truman
was so rebuffed on three separate
occasions. However, some Eisen-
hover nominations have been left
to die through Senate inaction and
others have been withdrawn after
strong opposition to them mater
ialized.
D'EWart, a former Republican
congressman who ran unSucceSs-
fully against Murray in last
years bitter Montana senatorial
election contest, was sworn in as
assistant secretary two days ago
under a recess appointment. The
names of recess appointees are
usually sent to the Senate for
confirmation when the Senate re-
convenes.
D'Ewart told newsman he had
no comment on Murray's remarks.
Murray disclosed he is already
planning hearings in anticipation
of D'Ewart's nomination. They
may include full review of what
the senator called a Republican
effort to pin the RED" label on
him during the 1854 election cam
paign.
Murray said persons who work
ed for D'Ewart's election would
be questioned on D'Ewart's role,
if any, in distribution of such lit
erature as pamphlet entitled
Senator Murray and the Red
web over Congress-" put out by
the Montana For D'Ewart Com
mittee.

or injured and thus unable to

Certificates of eligibility were
issued to 479 persons for hospital
care, five were certified for
chronic hospital care, 95 for Men
tai Hospital Care, and 80 persons
were carried for Mental Hospital
Care on a continuing basis for
periodic reconsideration for eligi-
bility.
All of these facts are found in
the annual report of the County
Welfare Board plus a partial ex-
PLANTATION of the substantial need
in the midst of high level of
County prosperity.
Montgomery County," says
the Board, "is filled with people
who have uprOOted themselves,
leaving behind homes, relatives,
friends and a sense of belong
ing"

such other factors as traffic con-
ditions and visibility.
He also declared that reinforc-
ed tire chains still are a motor
lists best friend on slippery
surfaces, although special winter
can be helpful in some situations.
Such chains, with projecting
teeth or cleats on every cross
chain, increase forward traction
while reducing side skids and
braking distances.
In conclusion, the Keystone
spokesman declared that some
special winter tires are helpful
when snow or slush are soft and
not too deep. The overall inn
provement, however, is not
enough to warrant drivers being
less cautious and careful when
faced with snow or ice conditions
on the highway.

no other place to turn but the
Welfare Board.
Pointing out that in its 20-year
history, the Welfare Board has
been called on to assume control
of many programs formerly ad.
ministered by many agencies,
the Welfare report states:
"This meant the creation of a
multi-purpose agency under one
administration, able to help with
many facets of human needs. 1t
ends much of the necessity of
shuffling person from one
agency to another. 1t made it
possible to fix responsibility for
service in one spot and require
accountability in a way never
possible before
While the total welfare cost in
the County was only 1921, 165 in
1884 compared to $512,938 in
1854, the Board points to the
growth of population from 10000
in 1884 to 100000 in 1854 and
observes that the cost per per
son in 1884 was $3.50 compared
to the cost per person of $2.05 in
1854.
