Is. Montana was allocated $685.
671 in federal funds for airport de-
velopment during fiscal 1857. These
funds were divided as follows: Bill
lings, $17,167; Great Falls, $29,854;
Missoula, $25, 1000; Plentywood, $780,
$50.
Public Law 685 of the 84th Con-
gress has amended the small projects
authority of the 1850 Flood Control
Act, by raising the limitation on fed
eral expenditure for small flood con-
troll projects from $150,O00 to $780,
600. This new law will allow the
Army Engineers to proceed with the
construction of the West Glendive
flood control project, waving the re-
quirement for local contribution of
all construction costs over and above
the former federal cost limitation of
$150,000. This will save local interests
approximately $4,000 to $4,000.
This summary does not include
passage of general legislation like
the highway bill, which will mean
hundreds of millions of dollars to
Montana during the next 13 years.
But one such major bill deserves men
ton here because of the part ordinary
Montana citizens had in it.
A provision written into the mill
tary construction authorization as
sures telephone and electric co-opera-
tives the right to serve SAGE air
defense installations in their area.
Previously some co-operatives were
being bypassed even though they
could do the job more cheaply than
private utilities could. The construc-
ton of duplicating lines will be for
hidden by this amendment. 1t has
been estimated that this and other
provisions of the new military con-
struction law will result in savings
to the taxpayers of $3.50 million. We
are pleased to add that this economic
ing legislation was initiated by rep
resentatives of two Montana cooper
atives, the Mid-Rivers Telephone Co.
operative with headquarters in Circle,
and the Sheridan County Electric Co.
operative with headquarters at Medi-
cine Lake.

gin construction of the flood control
project at Billings.
6. An appropriation of $115,000
for the Lower Marias Unit will per-
NIT cleanup work on Tlber Dam and
reservoir, a Bureau Of Reclamation
project. Tiber Dam will be operated
for the first full year in fiscal 1857.
7. Congress authorized $1,236,000
in additional funds for construction
and operation of training facilities,
maintenance, housing and community
facilities at Malmstrom Air Base,
Great Falls. A total of $706,000 was
appropriated for this installation.
8. The Glasgow Air Base, now
under construction, received an addi-
tional authorization of $2,470,000 for
operational, training, maintenance,
utility, and family housing facilities
and for ground improvements and
land acquisition. A total of $3,677,-
900 was appropriated for this project,
a portion of this amount having been
authorized previously.
9. Congress authorized, and ap-
propriated $21 million to implement,
a strategic minerals purchase pro-
gram which will permit some 250
persons to stay on the payroll of
companies at Hamilton and
Darby and the tungsten operation at
Dillon.

accomplish the purpose of this resolution.
Finally, it is declared to be the sense of
Congress that Federal protection and services
shall be made for any tribe, band, or group
only when such unit shall have adopted plan
for it's organization and operation under State

by the appropriate State and the Secretary OF

The second session of the 84th Con-
gress approved number of laws and
appropriations beneficial to Montana.
They include the following:
1. A 100000 appropriation pro-
vides for construction, by the Army
Engineers, of the badly-needed sec
ond power plant at Fort Peck Dam.
This plant, when completed, will add
$4,000 kilowatts to the existing 49,
900 kilowatt plant now in operation.
2. Construction of a new fish
hatchery at Miles City was author
lied, and $359,000 appropriated for
construction. This hatchery will pro-
duce approximately 10 million bass,
blue gill, pike and catfish annually.
3. The Helena Valley Unit received
an additional $1,750,000 appropria-
ton, for total of 100000. Con-
struction of the dam and reservoir
should begin shortly after an addi-
tional contract is signed with supple
mental water users or the city of
Helena.
4. An appropriation Of $225,000
for the Bitterroot Irrigation District
in Western Montana will permit re-
Mobilization and repair work and thus
reduce farmers maintenance costs
and assure them a reasonable I'M
interrupted delivery of irrigation
water.

and financial assistance would be made avail
able to the Indian communities but the re-
quest for it would have to come from the
communities themselves after they had worked
out plans in terms of their own needs.
Indian leaders offer their cooperation with
the Bureau of Indian Affairs on programs
beneficial to Indians.
A local Montana Indian Tribal leader, Cliff
Mckay of the Blacl1feet Council, has said
their biggest trouble is to get behind the
carbon curtain" of the Bureau.
Oliver LaFarge, noted author and president
of the Association on American Indian AT
fairs says, as do most people working in the
field of Indian affairs, g. we must be-

dians themselves must be satisfied, that in

Perhaps the most encouraging indication of
the coming recognition that the Hill 57's and
the reservation are one-that only a total ap
proach at the Federal level can provide the
authoritative, the historical answer to this
newly created problem is the latest effort
from Montana's senior senator, James E.
Murray, chairman of interior and Insular
Affairs, who presented the following resolu-
ton to that committee July of this year.

gress that its responsibility in the American

10. Congress authorized the letting
of contracts with water users organi-
cations for drainage works and other
completion items on small irrigation
projects. This new law is particularly
helpful to the Buffalo Rapids Irriga-
ton Project near Terry and the
Greenfields Irrigation District near
Fairfield.
II. The Milk River Mosquito Con-
troll program was bolstered by in
creased ALLEGATIONS by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Public
Health Service.
IL. Congress approved appropria-
tions to initiate long-range program
for the improvement of Glacier and
Yellowstone National Parks. Funds
were increased for the all-important
state and private forestry co-opera-
tion programs of the National Forest
Service.
IS. Montana Libraries in commu-
mites with less than 10000 popula-
ton will share grant of $4,000 to
Montana for improvement of rural
library service. This appropriation
followed passage of the Library Serv-
ices Act this session.
IA. Congress appropriated $4,000
for barley research this year and of
that amount 81, 600 will go to Mon
tana, for research on two-row barley
at Montana State College.

ALL HONORABLE MEN, by
David Karp (Knopf: $3.50
Is worth reading because 1t
offers a somewhat different
slant on the perennial quarrel
between liberalism and con-
servatism. 1t is focused on
the issue of whether persons
like Government workers and
teachers are free to think,

they choose.

Although the Institute is a
private enterprise, the case

the influence attributed to it.
Then, too, the characters talk
more like editorials stating the

get the impression that all con-

reasonable or rational minds.
