menu TO the press said Montana
farmers aren't dumb and can't be
bought for the $1,715,000 soil pay
ments promised by the squad for
Montana in 1956-presumably be-
cause of the undue disaster prospect
that the Democrats might elect the
Stevenson-Kefauver ticket"
State party chairman Left Erick-
son said he was "pleased that the self
styled Republican truth squad that
visited Montana last week did not
include Harvey Matusow no Martin
Littleton. That is some improvement
but only some."
Graybill, in further commenting
on the truth" squad spending some
time on the farm problem, said they
are apparently seeking to offset the
Republican record that farmers need
help only in times of undue disaster
as stated by Secretary Benson. No
mention was made of Under Secre-
tary True Morse's statements favor
ing liquidation of the marginal farm
er. [ doubt if Montana farmers will
forget President Eisenhower at Kas-
son and Brooklings, particularly with
the truth squad using the method
of belittling the Democrats by COM
pairing the dollar volume of small
production year with that of large
production year"
Graybill also called attention TO
the numbers racket" in the security
program perpetrated by Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, and noted "The squad
pointed out that Nixon had said the
has been infiltrated by
Communists and other subversives
under the Democrats but failed to
mention that under the Eisenhower
Administration not a single Commu-
mist had been discharged and that
large percentage of those removed
for so-called loyalty reasons were
those appointed to office by the Re-
publicans.

In replying to Olsen's request, Sen
ator Murray stated "Have directed
preliminary staff investigation of
land exchanges and oil leasing in
Montana. After facts have been fully
developed will take whole matter up
with full (Interior) Committee for
such further action as may be indi-
Gated"
Another telegram from William H.
Coburn, committee counsel, informed
Olsen Chairman Murray has di-
rected me to undertake staff investi-
cation oil leasing act in
Glacier Park. Please furnish me
promptly all documentary evidence
bearing on the subject available to
you"
CAN'T AGREE ON MINERAL
RIGHTS
In calling for the investigation Oh
sen charged coil industry interfer-
ence in the Glacier Park land trade
between Montana and the U. S. gov
eminent" has stalled the trade for
over two years because Of the in
ability of federal and state authori-
ties to agree over the amount of min
eral rights to be received by the state.
The State Board of Land Com
missioners, led by Olsen and State
Superintendent of Schools Mary
Condor, contends that the u. S. In
terror Department violated its
agreement with the state by re-
tanning and leasing oil lands which
should come to the state.
Olsen claims that the Interior De-
partment may have bowed to indus
try pressure to give non-competitive
federal leases because this type of
federal lease would cost oil compa-
MES less than state leases which must
be let by competitive bidding.
In identical messages to Senator
James E. Murray of Montana and
Senator Clinton Anderson, Olsen said:

investigate influence of oil industry

ment relative to exchange of state
land in Glacier Park for federal land
