FiImdom's Big Debate:
A Posthumous Oscar?

best actor Of the year last
December in the Compo poll.
The impact Of his screen
personality was so tremendous
that Warner Bros. continues to
receive hundreds Of letters q
week asking information on
Dean and photos Of him. At
the same time, even In a world
OF almost instantaneous and
widespread communication.
there are apparently many
people who have never learned
of his death, because the studio
still receives a considerable
amount Of fan mail addressed
to Dean.
Fans Are Curious
Jim Backus, who played
Deans father in Rebel With
out a Cause" has been re-
ceiving close to 800 letters o
week from fllmgoers who want
to know more about the fast
living young actor. Some ask
for anecdotes about him and
some ask to be sent any kind
of a memento connected with
him. The same has been true

contention has run deep and
posed some interesting specu-
lation from year to year.
AS the feverish 1856 battle
for the Oscars nears the home
stretch. the most interesting
and unprecedented possibility
in all the society's 28-year span
looms.
Across the colony today they
are asking the tantalizing
question:
Can a deceased actor be
nominated and go on to win
the top Oscar?
The solid conservatives say
It could never happen. The
sentimentalists - and among
them are many academy voters
Insist 1t is not only possible
but entirely probable.
Subject Of the unparalleled
debate, Of course, is the late
James Dean, brilliant 24-year-
old newcomer who set the fans
and the theaters ablaze in q
couple of smashing successes
during the last year.
Certain Nominee

The report will be made by S. F.

The major portion of the afternoon
session will be taken by Halls report

Stevenson also struck out boldly
at the giving to oil and gas interests
including such non oil-gas concerns
as Sehenley Distilleries, of about
five times as many leases to explore
and exploit the wildlife refugees (since
1852 as had been granted in the pre-
ceding three decades.
To perpetrate this giveaway of
resouces the Republicans "got rid of
the career conservation men In the
Fish and Wildlife Service and replac-
ed them with patronage appointees. p"
Stevenson pointed out.
IVA, REA, SPA, Etc.
4. Still another example of the Adj
ministration's private-power oriented
program cited by Stevenson is the
effort repeatedly put forth by the
Republicans to undermine the rural
electric coop program by attempt
ing to eliminate the preference
clause by administrative edict.
Closely akin, he noted was Pres
ident's calling IVA creeping So
cialism' shortly before the Admins
tration attempted to force through
the notorious Dixon-Yates deal to be-
gin the sell-out of IVA to the private
power trust.
Also recalled by the Presidential
hopeful was the recent veto by the
President of a bill passed by Con-
gress to stay the Administration in
its announced intention of increasing
Southwestern Power Administration
interest rates by 40 per cent. The
higher interest rates jeopardize the fl
nancial solvency of every rural cleo
trio coop served by SPA.
"Stumps For Trees"
5. Still another giveaway attempted
by the Republicans in Washington
was the Ellsworth "stumps for trees"
bill, which, had it not been thwarted
by Cong. Lee Metcalf, would have
opened the door for the giving away
of millions of dollars more of timber
in exchange for cut-over timber land
held by major lumber operators.
D'Ewart Land Grab Proposal
6. A final example of the Admin
istration's giveaway policy cited by
Stevenson was the D'Ewart bill which |
was also thwarted by Cong. Metcalf.

said would have given few big

HELENA-The Montana Highway
Fact Finding Committee will release
its study of Montana's highway con.
struction and financial needs at 8
general statewide public meeting
here on November Is, George Schotte
committee chairman, announced yes
terday.
The Highway Fact Finding Com
mittee, created by the 1866 Legisla-
ture to study Montana's highway,
street and bridge needs and solve
methods to finance those needs, is
now completing nearly two years of
study.
Schotte said the public meeting
will be held in the Western Life In
surance auditorium with the day
long session to begin at 1000 am.
The meeting has been called for
the purpose of presenting the study
by the committee staff to the II
members of the Fact Finding Com
mittee who represent each of the
states II highway financial districts.
The study, which encompasses Mon
tana's construction and financial
needs from the primary highway sys-
tenn to municipal streets, has been
made under the supervision of Will
liam L. Hall, Helena, the committee
director.
The study has been made in two
parts. The study of Montana's cur
rent and future highway construction
needs, management problems, and
classification of the states highway
system has been made by the nation
al Automotive Safety Foundation of
Washington, D. c.
The Fact Finding Committee staff
itself has been engaged in determin
