Census-Tract
Index Ready

The 1856 edition of Street
Index of House Numbers by Gen.
sus Tract" is now available at
the office OF the Department Of
Research and Statistics, United
Community Services, 110l M
street NV.
Miss Rita E. Beuchert. director
Of the department, reported that
since December, 1885, when the
first street index for the District
was published, there had been
a growing demand for informal
ton on a censuS-tract basis land
a growing recognition Of the
tract system as an indispensable
tool for planning and admins
tration."
1t was pointed out that the
population increase resulting
from the rash of housing con-
struction across the Anacostia
River and in the far Northeast
section necessitiated subdivision
Of some tracts.
There were other technical
needs to divide several tracts. but
in each case the subdivision was
accomplished without altering
any of the original tract boun-
diaries. Miss Beuchert reported,
and this will assure comparable
ity of data over the years.
1T is believed that the new
pattern Of 1875 census tracts will
provide an even more disable and
significant tool for the statistical
measurement Of social, health,
housing, population and business
factors in this community" she
said.
The Street Index shows the
tract in which every street num-
Der in the city Is located. It is
to be distributed at the cost Of
printing, $3.50 a copy. The sup
ply Is limited and orders will be
filled in order Of their receipt.
Washington is one Of group
Of large cities throughout the
country which have developed
census tracts in cooperation
withthe Census Bureau as q tool
for community planning.

REQUEST MORE HIGHWAY
PATROLMEH

Alarmed by the ever-growing toll
of highway fatalities, South Valley
County Farmers Union is asking en-
ployment of more patrolmen for
Montana highways, according to Mrs.
David Rice, secretary.
Here is South Valley F.U.'s reso-
luton concerning stricter patrolling
of our highways:
WHEREAS: The Highway Traffic
accidents on our highways are in
creasing at an alarming rate and
WHEREAS: These accidents are
taking a terrific and needless loss
of life and property and
WHEREAS: By far the largest
per cent of these accidents are the
direct result of drivers driving while
under the influence of liquor,
THEREFOR, be it resolved that
the South Valley County Farmers
Union in convention this 10th day
of March, 1856, urge Highway Patrol
of the State of Montana to increase
the number of patrolmen recon-
mended by the National Safety Coun-
Gil. And we further urge the Gov
ernor of Montana to request that
legislation be enacted by the next
legislature which will increase fines
and sentences for drunken and reck-
less driving"

Sheridan Rural Electric, realizing
what had happened, submitted anoth-
er bid to the Air Force, previous to
approval of the Montana-Dakota
Utility. The coop bid was $4,000
less. The Air Force, nonetheless,
turned down the rural electric's bid
on the grounds that accepting sue
cessive bids" was unrealistic.
In the case of the Mid-Rivers Tele-
phone Coop, the Air Force received
proposal from Mid-Rivers offering
the coop system for use in the SAGE
program.
The Air Force declined to accept,
and instead forwarded the offer to
AT&T on the grounds that ART
was the 'fprime contractor" and it
was AT&T who should act on the
proposal.
Metcalf told the committee that
the Air Force was substituting the
duplication of facilities in rural tele-
phone and electric co-ops service
areas under the guise of national de-
Tense. He predicted that the federal
subsidies would put AT&T telephone
subsidiaries and power companies in
position to destroy rural electric
and telephone co-ops, if continued.
Following Metcalf's testimony, Vim
son recessed the committee to execu-
tive session. The committee returned
half an hour later and directed
Major General Blake to amend the
Air Forces proposed authorization
language.

OrqunizutionuI Drive Planned
By office Workers In Helena

A campaign to organize the white
collar workers of Helena is now
underway, it was announced Wednes-
day by Dorothy Engledow, secretary
of Local 257, Office Employees In
ternational Union.
Local 257 has now been chartered
in Helena at the request of many
who desire to see a union here.
Miss Engledow pointed out that a
survey of office conditions in Helena
indicates that there is much that
can be done to improve working con-
ditions of white collar workers here.
Wage scales for office help range
as low as $4,000 a month, while
organized white collar workers in
other parts of the country start at
as high as $4,000 a week. Many do
not receive overtime pay for time
worked after office hours and there
is no real job security in any I'M
organized office.
Many office workers are unaware
that a union for them does exist.
In the following, Miss Engledow
cites what the Office Employees
Union is, how it operates and who
may join, plus some all important
questions that any office employee is
bound to ask:
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1956-03-16

Our union is the Office Employees
International Union, a national or
ganization affiliated with the ALL
CLIO. 1t has local unions chartered all
over the United States.
Any office employee may belong
to this union. However, this does not
include office workers who are work
ing for the State or county. They
have union of their own, and there
is local in Helena. Tt is Local ACT
State County and Municipal EN-
ployees.
One of the first questions an office
worker asks when being approached
to join the union is: What will the
union do for me?
You will get out of your union
just what you are willing to put into
it. Your union contract can protect
you against demotion, transfer or un-
justified discharge = protect you
against favoritism-provide promo
ton from within-negotiate salary
increases, proper job classification,
adequate rate ranges with automatic
increases in accordance with length
of service-guarant decent sick
benefits and pensions. In short, your
union means dignity, security and
more money for you!

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A group that's trying to conserve fish
and wildlife in the Pacific Northwest
have asked for "reappraisal' Of the
Administrations plan to turn Hells
Canyon over to Idaho Power Com
pany.
Senator Richard Neuberger ID
Ore.) spoke for those who're backing
full, federal development of the ma
TONS best hydro-electric site when
he called the conservationists' an
nouncement Gan epochal turning
point" in the long struggle.
Citizens Committee on Natural Re-
sources, headed by DR.. Ira N. Cab
rielson, said it isn't interested in
public VS.. private development of
Hells Canyon.
But Idaho Powers plan for two, or
perhaps three, low dams doesn't in
clude any storage for flood control.
To provide the needed flood control,
the administration is proposing that
Uncle Sam build dams on the Clear
water and Salmon Rivers.
These dams, the Citizens Commit
tee says, would destroy salmon spawn
ing grounds and thus would have ga
disastrous effect on fish and wild
life" and the important salmon in
dustry.
The high dam in Hells Canyon
would not only add 1870 more kilo-
watts to the Snake-Columbia hydro
electric system, but would provide
the needed flood control without
endangering the salmon.
In asking the Administration to
go back to 1853, when Interior Sec
rotary Douglas Mckay threw Hells
Canyon open to private power inter

U. S. Sets Up Unit
To Cut Red Tupe

The Government has set UP a
new agency to work on methods
for simplifying the handling of
public business by all it's agen-
cies. Its establishment in the
Justice Department was an
nounced yesterday by Attorney
General Brownell.
To be known as the Office of
Administrative Procedure, it will
be headed by j. Smith Henley
now associate general counsel
for the Federal Communications
Commission.
Such a central Office was rec
Commended by the Hoover CON-
mission on Government Organi-
cation and the 1855 White House
Conference on Administrative
Procedure.
The office is expected to make
recommendations for legislation
designed to cut some govern
ment red tape.
