Brownell said the contract was IL
legal in these respects:
1. Adolphe H. Wenzell, budget
bureau consultant who also advised
a finance firm interested in building
the plant, created a conflict of in
terest that made the contract illegal
from the start.
2. In 1854, Congress forced Acc
to give its House-Senate atomic ener-
gy committee 80 days notice before
signing power contract After u. S.
voters elected Democratic Congress
in November, 1854, but before this
Congress convened, the Republican
dominated committee met and agreed
to waive the 30-day waiting period
The committee having acted, Acc
signed the contract. When the 84th
Congress convened in January, 1865,
the new Democrat-led committee re-
pealed its waiver, claiming that it was
Illegal since Congress wasn't in ses-
sion.
At the time, Brownell encouraged
the waiver. In his brief, however. he
says the committee acted illegally
when it was under Republican control
and took the legally correct view after
the Democrats took over.
Anthony Lewis, a NEW YORK
TIMES reporter, says BrownelPs brief
"reads like a Democratic campaign
flyer"
In the midst of one particularly fur
ious attack on the contract, Eisen-
hover ordered a complete disclos-
ure" of events leading up to its sign
ing Acc and the Budget Bureau
collaborated on this and issued a 25-
page document. Never once did Wen
zelPs name appear.
Later, Senate investigators found
that Wenzell had played a decisive
role in the contract, that an early
draft of the complete disclosure"
had mentioned Wenzell dozen times,
but that his name was removed before
the report was published.
Finally, Memphis said it would
build its own power plant, rather than
take Dixon-Yates power through
IVA. President Eisenhower seized on
this as an excuse to cancel the con-
tract and he did SO last July.

lished letter from Butler to Lyndon
johnson, Senate Majority Leader, and
other key Democrats.
1t asked their aid in promoting
Democratically sponsored resource
Legislation. Four measures particular
ly emphasized were the Lehman bill
calling for development of Niagara
power by the New York State Power
Authority, the Morse bill authorizing
construction of federal high dam
in Hells Canyon, a bill authorizing the
iva to use accumulated funds for
construction of power plants, and the
appropriation bill involving loan funds
for the rural electric systems spon-
sored by REA.
Likelihood that most of the pro-
gram will find acceptance lies in the
fact that some of the Democratic
members of Congress most concerned
with natural resources are members
of the advisory committee. Among
them are Sen. Dennis Chavez of New
chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Public Works; Sen. James
E. Murray of Montana, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Interior and
Tnsular Affairs; Sen Richard L. Neu-
berger Of Oregon, member of the

University Fee Increase
Condemned By Olsen

The evening before the picnic, at
dinner sponsored by the Flathead
County Democratic Central Commit
tee, Olsen was sharply critical of sub
stantially higher fees assessed on
students of the Greater University
System by the State Board of Edu-
cation last week-fee increases which
both he and Supt. of Public Instruc-
tion Mary M. Condor voted against
at the board meeting.
"Unless present trends are re-
versed," Olsen said, "many young
men and women in Montana will be
forever deprived of any choice of a
college education.

acute and, if the present methods of

Vastly Improved Social Security Bill
Passes Despite Presidents Opposition

Despite strenuous Eisenhower Ad-
ministration opposition, aided and
abetted by Senator Byrd (Dixiecrat-
Va.) the Senate this week voted a
900 approval of vast improvements
in the Social Security Act of 1885.
The measure now goes to Senate
House conference committee for rec
onciling of somewhat minor differ
ences with a similar House bill which
was given overwhelming approval
372-31 a year ago.
Two of the major improvements in
both House and Senate versions are !:
1. Lowering the retirement age for
women from 65 to 62 with a some
what lower schedule of benefits than
would be received if a woman waited
until age 65 to apply for Social Sc
curity $50 per cent of full benefit

BrowneII Reverses Earlier Position Or MONTANA
Justice Department Now Taking
Demo Position On Dixon Yates

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The same U. S. attorney general who
20 months ago said the Dixon-Yates
contract was "perfectly lawful" now
has filed a legal brief stating that
the contract was illegal from the start.
The same contract that President
Eisenhower ordered Atomic Energy
Commission to sign has now been
labeled contrary to public policy"
by his own attorney general, Herbert
Brownell.
The Justice Department filed it's
brief in the U. S. Claim Court here,
July 12. In it, the government replied
to a So u million claim that Dixon
Yates interests filed against the U. S.
after Eisenhower cancelled the con-
tract a year ago.
Under the Dixon-Yates contract,
Acc served as a power broker be-
tween private firms and Tennessee
Valley Authority. To keep from ex-
panding IVA to meet Aces power
needs, Eisenhower told Acc to buy
power from a private firm.
To do this, Acc dealt with new
firm organized by Middle South Utili-
ties (headed by Edgar H. Dixon) and
the Southern Company (headed by
Eugene A. Yates). This new firm
planned to build $107 million plant
with $5 million in risk capital at West
Memphis, Ark, then feed the power
into TWAS system across the Mis-
sissippi River.

Things are probably popping
bit around Fergus county court
house this week as result of in
correct certification of "right-to-
work" initiative petition sigma
lures, reports James S. TIMBER,
president, Montana State AFL-ClO.
IL seems that during the sigma
ture campaign AS Fergus county
people signed the fraudulently
titled initiative petition. Bill De-
vine, Lewistown, business agent of
the building trades, then went on
a one-man crusade to enlighten
Fergus county people as to the
fact that the initiative would not
guarantee a single job to any per-
son; that the initiatives catch-all
title was a fraud designed to entice
voters into signing; that, in actual
ity, the entire purpose of the ini-
tiative proposal was to destroy la
Dor unions in Montana and to raise
ndVOC with S"NAS
factory labor-management rela-
tions.
AS a result of Devine's activity,
1O6 of the original signers with
drew their names from the petit
tions. However, says TIMBER, this
fact did not show up in the totals
certified to the office of Secretary
of State by the Fergus county clerk
and recorder. To the contrary,
someone in the clerks office
scratched out the word Withdraw
all on the withdrawal petitions and
certified all 106 of those signers
as favoring the initiative. Since
all 106 had previously signed the
initiative petition, the final result
was that Fergus county enormously
showed 212 more signatures than
the initiative actually received. In

Act was enacted more than 20 years
ago. The amendment by Sen. Kerr
(D-Okla.) to reduce the retirement
age for women was approved 86-7
with both Senators Murray and Mans
field voting for the amendment.
2. By approval of an amendment
by Sen. George (D-Ga.) the Senate
wrote into its bill a clause already
in House bill to permit totally and
permanently disabled people to re-
ceive Social Security benefits at age
SO. 1t is estimated that beneficiaries
will average $75 month disability
benefits.

by Sen. Douglas (D-Ill.) would au-

age assistance payments to benefici-
aries who earn up to $50 a month. 1t

or not to use this authority.

Ever since Lewis & Clark County

back, forces have been at work to

bureau meeting of last week, it was
brought out that Montana Farm Bu-
reau President George Diehl of the
Helena Valley chad spearheaded the
action in which the county board of
directors demanded Neil's resigna-
tion.'
In replying to the Lewis & Clark
county bureaus demand that he quit,
Neil declined, stating:

Demos To Bank On Power
Policy AS q Major Issue

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LDNS) y
With public power emerging as key
election year issue, the Democratic
party will enter its August conven-
ton armed with a sheaf of platform
proposals drawn by a specially Sc
lected committee of resource experts.
Generally overlooked by the press,
the committee has drawn up hard
hitting report which covers the whole
field of resource development. In
siders say it is the most specific and
vigorous program ever presented on
the subject. Its impact on Democratic
policy in this increasingly contro-
versial area may be profoundly i'm
portant.
The group, titled the Resources Ad-
visory Committee, has already quietly
submitted its proposals to Paul But
Ter, national chairman of the party.
1t is likely that the proposals will go
before the entire Democratic National
Committee on July 20.
Headed by former Interior Secre-
tary Oscar Chapman, the committee
includes Michael w. Straus, formerly
Commissioner of Reclamation; DR..
Horace Gray, co-author of Monopoly
in America and a professor of eco
nomics at the University of Illinois,
and Jesse L. Maury, mining engineer
with the international Perlite Co.
