In Jerusalem, Foreign Minis
try spokesman said Israel has
been compelled to resort TO the
right of self-defense all nations
have to project It's citizens and
territory against Jordanian ag-
gression. He charged that the
Jordanian Government. instead of
ending a campaign of aggression
to which Israelis have been SUBJ
jected. is actually encouraging its
continuation. 1
The spokesman asserted that
only a few days ago King Hussein
himself had ordered the release,
near the Israel frontier, of the
men who had murdered three Is
raeli Druzes last month. He added
that although the Israeli repre-
sentatives had transmitted to the
Jordan authorities on October 8
the names of the men responsible
for the murder of five Israeli near
Sodom and testimony indicating
they had operated with the know
ledge and support of the local
Jordanian police, there had been
no action taken by the Jordanians.
The spokesman said that Israel
reiterates its cease-fire pledge of
September 26 and looked to Sec
retarY General Hammarskjold
and Major General Burns to take
the necessary steps to ensure Jor-
dams observance of the cease-fire.

An investigation of the widening
spread between prices received by
farmers and those paid by consumers
is long overdue, Rep! Lee Metcalf
(D-Mont.) stated last week.
Such a study, knocked in the head
by the Republican S3rd Congress,
must be revived next year, he said
in a statement released here. Before
we can do anything about ever-higher
prices, we must know what causes
them-we must know who gets every
penny of the consumer dollar"
"In 1882" Metcalf said, "the farmer
received AZ cents of every dollar con-
sumers spent on food. Middlemen," he
said, "got SO cents. In 1885," he went
on, "the farmers share dropped to IL
cents, while the middlemen took SO
cents.
Breaking it down little further,
in 1852 our ranchers received IA cents
of every consumer dollar spent on
beef Today, the ranchers' share is
only SO cents.
"Who gets the difference is what
we must find out. Already there has
been far too much loose and un-
Informed talk" he continued.
"Secretary of Agriculture Benson
blames the increasing spread upon in
creased labor costs. The housewife
in a large eastern city, paying more
than 81 a pound for beef, blames it
on the farmers-she thinks they're
getting rich Others blame the widen
ing spread on higher freight rates,
taxes, increased margins of packers,
other professors, wholesalers and re-
tailers"

Metcalf recalled that President Tru-
man in 1852 ordered the Federal Trade
Commission to find out who gets the
consumers dollar. He quoted Mr. Tru-
man as saying:
''The consumer has a right to know
who is getting his dollar. When ne
pays a high price at the retail store,
how much of that price does the re-
taller get? How much does the whole
saler get? How much goes for trans

from the School Equalization Fund.
The requires that BEFORE district receive

support from both funds is limited BY LAW to

During the school years 1882 195253 195354, and
1885, the years of the so-called oil lease contro
very when the schools and taxpayers supposedly lost
fictitious ST. 600, the state equalized the legal
limit of 10000 for all of the public elementary and
high schools of Montana, except for those districts
that reached 5000 legal limit of aid before
reaching their full foundation program.
Montana's public schools could not legally have
ceived any aid during those years regard
less of how much might have been available.
The limit of state support reached and any
anticipated Increase from oil lease money or any other
could not have increased total state support
but would simply have reduced the amount received
from equalization funds.
This could reduce compulsory levies, any other
district school levies, for any district receiving equa
cation aid.

honest or reveal complete ignorance Of Montana school

Improving the Mall

One Federal building project on
which everybody seems to be in agree
ment is the Smithsonian Institutions
1887 million Museum of History and
Technology. This is not surprising, in
view of the urgent need for the structure
and the important role it will play in the
development of the Mall
The museum, to be built on Con-
stitution avenue between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets, will fill long-felt
Smithsonian want. The institution is
overloaded with historic and scientific
exhibits which cannot be adequately dis
played because Of lack of space. The
items have an educational value that
should be exploited to the maximum
degree.
But the approval of the museum plan
by the House Appropriations Committee
will be welcomed not only because it
brings nearer to reality monumental
addition to the Mall but because 1t means
the end of several Of the unsightly tempos
on Constitution avenue. So Congress,
when 1t authorizes construction of the
new museum building, will be giving
death sentence to some of WaShington's
most unleved public buildings. Naturally.
there will be no regrets over their passing.

Act, passed over President Humans veto

law from its beginning In his campaign
for the presidency that year, General

several occasions since, President Essen
hover has recommended to Congress that
the act be revised substantially to permit
greater breadth and fiexibility in our
admission of immigrants. In his state

followed up this reminder now in spe-

The most far-reaching changes pro-
posed by Mr.. Eisenhower bear upon the
quota system and the national origins
principle. Pointing to our own economic
growth in the past 80 years, he urged
that the quota ceiling be keyed to our
1850 population rather than the 1920
census as applied in the McCarran- Walter

to 100000 annually. Within this total, he

Threat in East Berlin

II 1t wants to show that 1t really has
a desire to ease international tension, the
Kremlin will react aff1rmatively to the
stern Anglo French-American protest
against the armed civilian groups that
have been organized in Soviet-controlled
East Berlin. Equipped with machine pis-
tolls and other weapons, the groups are
made up of thousands of factory workers
and students, including even young boys
and girls, and they unquestionably con-
stitute threat-potential If not actual
of serious proportions.
AS the Western powers have empha-
sized in their protest, the ugly nature OF
this threat has been well illustrated by
the big January 18th parade Of these
paramilitary groups. The parade, car
ried out provocatively before the eyes OF
free Berliners, with an ostentatious dis
play Of weapons, may rightly be de-
scribed as having been an act Of intimida-
ton or a kind of Indictment to riot or
worse. In the words of our note to the
Kremlin-words repeated In the British
and French notes-such activity Is "omi-
nous" and 1t "can only create unrest
among the population and result in a
heightening Of international tension in
the Berlin area" Indeed, It's continuation
could have the gravest consequences"
and our three allied governments have
been at pains to remind the Soviet Union
that they are firmly committed to defend
the safety and welfare of their sectors of
the city against attack from any
quarter"
Actually, of course, the militarizing
Of civilians In East Berlin represents a
fragrant Soviet violation of the four power
agreement forbidding the citys general
public to bear arms. Moscow may try to
dodge responsibility by repeating the
phony claim that its puppet German
Communist regime is the sovereign"
authority in the situation, but the West
ern protest rejects in advance any such
contrived argument. The Kremlin, again
