President is not nominated until

ton dominates, and then it will
be proper to give an expression
on that point"
Mr.. Eisenhower went on to
SAY that he is very fond" of Mr..
Nixon and has "unbounded" ad-
miration and respect for him.
When a reporter asked his re-
action to Mr.. Nixon's reference
to Chief Justice Warren as "a
Republican Chief Justice" in
connection with the Supreme
Courts decision against racial
segregation in schools. Mr.. Eli
Isenhower refused any direct
comment on the Vice Presidents
remark.
Indicates Displeasure
But he indicated his displeas-
ure by saying this:
"Once a man has passed into
the Supreme Court. he is an
American citizen and nothing
else in my book until he comes
out of that court. and I believe
that it would bel would never
admit that he longer had a poll
tical designation"
He made it clear that he in
tends to tell the full story to the
people by television and radio
tonight. But he refused to go
into any detail at his news con-
ference.
Arrangements for the Presi-
dents TV-radio talk to the coun-
try tonight were completed in
less than an hour after his news
conference ended.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty announced
that all TV and radio networks
had agreed to carry the Presi-
dents talk at 10 pm. He said
arranements we're made for q
half-hour telecast and broad
cast, but he could not guarantee
lit would run that long.
Mr.. Eisenhower will speak
from notes. without any pre-
pared text, Mr.. Hagerty said.
viii Talk at Desk
He added that the President
will talk at his desk in his Office
Mrs. Eisenhower intends to be
in the room with him but prob
ably will not appear on tele-
vision. Mr.. Hagerty said no Gov
eminent or Republican Party
officials would be present.
Asked II the Presidents ap-
pearance was regarded as a po-
litical broadcast-in which case
the networks would be required
to give equal time to other can
didates-Mr. Hagerty said mot
by me-"
He added that he thinks the
networks ARE doing this as a
public service to the people" so
the President can tell them the
decisions he has made and the
reasons thereof"
In response to a question
about what he thought the cleo
ton campaign issues will be. the
President said he has record
established before the American
people. apd that will be his
campaign.

Mr.. Eisenhower would be able to
run again.
At the start, Mr.. Eisenhower's
heart mended more slowly than
in the average case. Eventually
1t caught up to schedule. The
Chief Executive was in a Denver
hospital longer than early fore
casts indicated, at least in part
because of his desire not to be
rushed and to leave on his own
power rather than on stretcher.
He Jagged a bit behind predic-
tons, too, in getting back into
working harness at the White
House.
But no real complications or
setbacks developed at any point.
In order of time, these are
some of the major and minor
events that may have helped Mr..
Eisenhower make up his mind
on the big question:

1856 PENALTY RATE WILL BE
S1.07 A BUSHEL ON EXCESS" wheat

Kolstad also pointed out that
county ASC committees are now
checking wheat acreage to deter
mine compliance with allotments. A
notice will be sent out to the operator
of each farm having excess acreage
advising that the farm may be
brought into compliance by utilizing
excess acreage for hay, pasture, silage
or green manure, provided that win
ter wheat is utilized for these pur-
poses by July IL and spring wheat
by July 81. Soon after these dates,
farms which had excess at the first
inspection will be reinspected. All
wheat acreage on the farm at that
time will be counted against the
farms allotment in determining com
pliance for price support and quota

The penalty rate on "excess" wheat
under the 1856 wheat marketing quo
ia program will be SLOT per bushel,
Leo S. Kolstad, State Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation adj
ministrative officer, announced this
week.
The penalty rate is uniform
throughout the nation and amounts
to 45 per cent of the May 1 wheat
parity price of $3.50 per bushel. The
penalty rate on "excess" wheat of
the 1866 crop was $1.13 per bushel.
The penalty, Kolstad explains, is
applicable to all excess wheat, al
though producers may postpone or
avoid the payment of the penalty by
storing the excess under approved
conditions Or by delivering it to the
Secretary of Agriculture in satisfac-
ton of the penalty.
Excess" wheat is wheat harvested
from acreage which is in excess of
a FARMS average allotment, except
ing that the law provides exemption
from marketing quota penalties for
those farms on which the wheat acre
age is not more than Is acres, or
where the normal production of the
wheat acreage is less than 200
bushels. A farms excess is generally
the normal production of the acreage
in excess of the farm allotment but
provision is made whereby, upon APP
plication by the producer, the excess
may be adjusted if the actual yield
IS less than the farms normal yield.
Only wheat produced on farms
which comply with their acreage al
otment will be eligible for price sup
port, Kolstad added. Support will be
At 81 per bushel national average but |
lot less than 80 IL per cent of parity.
Support of the 1866 crop was at a
national average of $2.08 per bushel. |

Olsen's speech it was surprising to

than an hour earlier over statewide
radio broadcast. He said before the
meeting he had heard the speech on
his way to the meeting from Ana

with about a thousand people that
afternoon.

Senate VIII Okay HeIIs
Canyon This Year,
Majority Leader Says

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Authority to build high, federal dam
in Hells Canyon will win Senate ap-
proval this year, Senator Lyndon
johnson (D-Texas), majority leader,
has promised.
He'll make one more try to get a
bill, sponsored by 80 senators, out
of the Senate Interior Committee,
Johnson told reporters. Senator Rus
sell B. Long (D-La) has refused to
back the high dam, and Republican
senators on the committee are solidly
opposed.
If this move fails, Johnson said he'll
attach bill as an amendment to
some other bill on its way through
the Senate.

WASHINGTON NOTEBOOK
By "BRITT' ENGLUND, Secretary to Cong. lie

The Administration has turned
thumbs down on Congressman Met
calf's proposal that the route of the
Lewis and Clark expedition from Mis-
souri, through Montana, Idaho and
Washington be designated national
tourway. The rundown came in an
adverse departmental report from
Secretary of Commerce Weeks to the
chairman of the House Public Works
Committee.
"And (such) action on the part
Of Congress would undoubtedly serve
as a precedent for similar demands
upon the federal government to desig-
nate other highways by NAME" Weeks
wrote.
1t also "could be expected to re-
suit in demands upon the federal
government to provide special funds
for the construction of such high
way, over and above the regular fed
eral-aid funds apportioned among the
states" he continued.
furthermore, the duty which the
resolutions would impose upon the
Commission of Public Roads would
be exceedingly difficult to perform
because of uncertainties as to por-
lions of the exact route traversed by
the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
These uncertainties could readily in
volve the federal government in nu-
merous conflicts among the various
1nooI 4ho nj m
be on the route"
The measure is sponsored also in
the House by Mrs. Pfost of Idaho
and Congressman Magnuson Of Wash
ington and in the Senate by Senator
Magnuson of Washington. They pro-
pose that the designation be made by
the Commissioner of Public Roads in
cooperation with the highway depart
ments of the states involved.
AIR SERVICE
Montanans want the Civil Aero
nautics Board to hold hearing in
Montana on what may be the most
important case ever to come before
the board from the point of view of
Treasure State residents.
They told the CAB so last week at
a pre-hearing conference in the Pa
cific Northwest Local Air Service |
case, which will involve service to
all Montana cities.
Senators Murray and Mansfield |
and Congressman Metcalf backed up |
the request of Montana communities
and the State Aeronautics Commits
sion for a hearing in Montana. Denial
of the request, they said, would deny
many communities the right to be
heard, since they can't afford to
send delegates 1000 miles to appear
before the board here.

INDIAN LAND
Congressman Metcalf proposes that
almost $4,000 acres of submarginal
land, within three Montana Indian
and now under jurisdic-
ton of the Indian Affairs Bureau,
be turned over to tribes on those res
ervations.
Reservations, and the number of
acres of land covered by the new
bill are, Fort Peck, $3.50; Fort Bel
KNAPP, $3.50, and Blackfeet, 9,037.
Metcalf got the idea for the bill
when, as a member of the Indian At

BITTER ROOT IRRIGATION

Montanans in Congress have taken
the urgent need of the Bitter Root
Irrigation District to the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
The District, in one of the first
areas of the West to be placed under
irrigation by American settlers, must
fix up it's canal system. When Con-
gresham Metcalf appeared before
the House Committee earlier, the
tentative cost estimate, which water
users will repay, was $175,OO0. Since
then the estimate has been firmed
up at $225,000.
Although the project has the tacit
approval of the Bureau of Reclama-
ton, there is no money for the work
in President Eisenhower's budget.
