AugpstlOh

Sidney will join other lead.
ing Montana cities in an all
Montana Canadian Relations tour
of Alberta and Saskatchewan or
August 10 through 16, Dean Beck
president of he Sidney Chamber
of Commerce announced today.
The Montana Canadian Rela-
tons tour will begin at Regina
Saskatchewan with the tentative
itinerary calling for the arrival
of the Montana caravan about
loon on August 10.
1t is expected that the MAORI
ity of the eastern and central
Montana cities participating In
the tour will begin the tour at
Regina with cities in the western
portion of the state expected to
join the tour at either Lethbridge
or Medicine Hat, Alberta, on Au-
gust IL.
Beck said that he expects a
large delegation from Sidney to
join the tour at Regina. About
100 cars from Montana are ex-
pected to make the tour. H. H.
Kincaid is the State Chamber
director for this area assisting
with arrangements.
The complete tour itinerary
calls for visits in the following
Canadian cities:
Regina on August 10; Moose
Jaw and Swift Current, Sas-
katchewan on August IL; Medi-
cine Hat and Lethbridge, Alberta
On August IL; Calgary, Alberta
on August 10; Edmonton, Alberta

on August ii and is and Jas
per, Alberta on August Is. 1t is
expected that some tour men,
bers will finish the tour by leav-
ing Canada through British Co.
lumbia.
Jasper, the entrance to Cana
da's Jasper National Park, will
serve as the dispersion point for
the tour. The tour is sponsored
on the state level by the Mon
tana Chamber of Commerce Re-
lations committee.
Special tours of local cities and
Montana Day" events are plan
ned in each Canadian city along
the tour route through the CO.
ordination of the Montana Cham
Der and the local Chambers of
Commerce in Canada.
Beck added that greater Ca
madam Relations r vital to this
area and Montana and we plan
to make this tour n of our
major projects for 1885,"
The all-Montana tour of Can
ada this year Is the result of a
preliminary tour of Alberta and
Saskatchewan last year by the
Montana Chamber Canadian Re-
lations Committee. During that
tour Canadian leaders in each
major city agreed that If an all
Montana tour was staged this
year, Canada would respond with
a similar tour of Montana in
1857.
Details and arrangements for
the all-Montana tour r being
spearheaded by the Montana
Chamber. Chamber officials call
it "the biggest mass goodwill Ca

entering private industry, remains
untitled. However, several leads
are being followed and it is ex-
pected that a replacement will
be found soon. No one has been
found to teach Latin.
Miss Lucille Weber of Sidney
has been employed as clerk in
the high school office. She sue
ceeds Mrs. Irene Hundtofte who
has held this position for the
past five years.
The additional teachers have
been added to help take care of
enrolment increases caused from
regular growth plus the influx re-
sulting from the start of the MDU
power plant. Year after the COM
ing one will undoubtedly bring
a huge increase in school enroll
ment.
MI. Gerber states that, 1.-THE
job of replacing and adding the
teachers has been more difficult
this year than ever before. In
several teaching fields the sup
ply was practically depleted be-
fore the end of May. Teachers
from the northwest area are
flocking to California, Oregon
and Washington where starting
salaries are as much as 100000
more per year than they are in
Montana"
Mr.. Gerber expressed his belief
that the newly appointed faculty
members show promise of being
definite contributions to the teach
ing quality in the Sidney Public
Schools.

Flare then took us around the
Capitol to the House of Repre-
sentatives which was not in ses-
sion that day, and we sat in the
chair, just for a minute, where
the speaker of the house sits
while presiding over it. We then
went to the senate which was
in session and heard Senator
Mike Mansfield speaking on a
bill which he was helping to
sponsor. Later on we were also
privileged to meet him and talk
with him for a few minutes.
AS a part of our o~rientation
program, we visited the Embas-
sizes of our host countries and also
visited the State Department
where we received a briefing on
u. S. foreign policies in the areas
to which we r going. Both of
these visits proved extremely in
teresting. At the embassy we were
told about some of the things
which we might expect upon ar
irving in Turkey and received
information about regulations,
customs and SO forth.
The National All Club Camp
was still in session when we ar
rived and we were able to at
tend the closing candle-light cere-
mony. This ceremony is a feature
OF the camp each year and is
very impressive. 1t was held in
the Pan-American building. This
is the headquarters of the Ameri-
can Republics - to the south of
US. 1t is a beautiful thing - won
derfully handicapped on the out
side and interestingly designed
within. Here we met state All
club leader, Paul Moore and the
Montana delegation to the camp.
Also spent an evening with
Beverly Lorentzen, a high school
classmate, who is working in
Washington and is attending
George Washington University.
AS I finish this letter we have
just arrived in Paris, where we
spend n day before heading on
to our host countries. Will write
again soon and would appreciate
any letter you folks might find
time to write.

Dear Folks at Home:

We landed here in Newfound-
land about two hours ago and are
now ready to take off again. II
is dark and cloudy and cool
which feels mighty good after the
humid Washington. We landed
on an Air Force Base and are
not allowed to take pictures. The
place is lousy with airplanes and
soldiers.
Zone hour 1ater) We are now
aloft about 5000 feet above the
Atlantic. 1t is beautiful and SUM-
shiny and looks as though we
were floating through a soft mass
of white cotton. There are about
70 people aboard plus six or
seven crew members. SO of the
passengers are IFYE's from about
rs states, and going to % coun-
tries in Europe and the Middle
East. 1t is quite a thrilling ex-
perience to be a part of all this.
I've never tried writing aboard
an airplane before but it really
isn't difficult at all. This is a
four engine Flying Tiger plane
chartered especially for the
IFYE's by our sponsors, the Ma
tional All Club Foundation.
We just finished eating our
first flying meal. 1t was excel
lent. We had waffles and syrup,
cereal, sausage, baked apples,
fruit cocktail, coffee and a roll.
We have two stewardess who do
the cooking and serving. They
are both very nice, good look
ing, and extremely efficient.
This plane is really quite self
sufficient. We have a kitchen,
water fountain, rest rooms, blan-
kets, pillows, reclining seats,
which adds up to about every
thing one could desire for COM
fort in this small a space. There
are also magazines and playing
cards. Some of my fellow IFYE's
are having a game right next to
me. I'll have to get myself in af-
ter awhile.
We were in Washington, D. C..
one week before taking off on
this flight from Idlewild Inter
national Airport in New York
City. This period in Washington
was our final orientation. We re-
ceived suggestions and details
about travelling and got a lot of
ideas on how we could make our
stay abroad more worthwhile. 1t
was certainly a very interesting
week for all of us.
We had one day of free time
after arriving and n day at the
end. so we were able to see a
good bit of Washington while we
there. / took a couple of
tours visiting Arlington National
and the tomb of the
soldier where we watch

mortal, Washington Monument,

A delegation of the Nation
al Council of Churches prot
estant) has recently returned
from the Soviet Union and
some of its members are re-
porting their findings.
Charles Coolidge Parlin in
the Chicago Daily News Serv-
ice declares that religion is
not dead in Russia, but that
the church lives and carries on
it's work. Church members even
outnumber the Communist
Party, he reports, with the
Orthodox Church alone num-
bering so million to the Com
munist Party's 6 million.
I do not take issue with Mr..
Parlin's facts and figures, but
I believe one can draw very
misleading conclusions from
them.
Before the revolution, and
with the exception of a few
Protestant sects and the Mos
lens Of the East, all Russians,
almost without exception, were
Orthodox Christians. Even
when they questioned certain
Orthodox dogmas and prac-
tees, as did Leo Tolstoy and
Peter Kropotkin, they shared
with Dostoevsky the conviction
that the social regeneration OF
Russia would come through
the application of the teach
ings of Christ. If then, today,
Russian Orthodoxy embraces
only some % per cent of the
Russian population. as Mr..
Parlin reports, there has been
a tremendous falling away.
But far more important than
the numbers of enrolled believ-
ers is their status. What do
they count for? How wide
spread is their influence? My
own research into this ques-
ton indicated that 1t is prac-
tically nil.
Russia is organized in a
caste system. Even the base OF
this pyramidal hierarchy is
not wide. Six or seven million
Communists are less than four
per cent of the estimated pop
ulation, but they are the only
ones who count. Their num-
Der is designedly limited. 1t
is hard to join the Communist
Party and not difficult to be
dropped out of it. Thus less
than four per cent direct not
only Russian political and
social life but all industry,

Criticism of Dulles Appraised

small nation, it is considered
a compliment by the people
who are visited.
Why, for instance, did Presi-
dent Eisenhower go to Geneva
except to show by his personal
attitude that the American
people wanted to be known as
friendly to the people of
Soviet Russia? Why did Bull
ganin and Khrushchev go to
Yugoslavia and India, and now
plan to go to Britain? Why
is Nehru planning to come to
Washington? Why is Mr..
Eisenhower thinking about re-
turning the visit of Nehru by
going to India? The answer
is that all these missions serve
a tactical purpose, in the new
battle of ideas.
Couldn't ambassadors do
the same thing? Hardly-be-
cause the prestige of a top
man representing his govern
ment and his people means
more than 100 notes of old
fashioned diplomacy. The
ambassadors tn e m selves
clamor for such visits and
do much to pave the way for
the success of these missions.
But what about the Depart
ment of State while the Sec
rotary is absent? On important
matters he can always be
reached by radio telephone or
by cable. On the usual ques-
tions of administration, the
Department of State has a
large staff of executives with
specific responsibilities for de-
cisions relating to different
areas of the world. This goes
on even when the Secretary is
at his desk.
The average voter isn't in
terested in making Mr.. Dulles
punch a time clock in his Of
flee but is anxious for the Sec
rotary of State to do what he
can to advance the cause of
world peace even if, as Presi-
dent Eisenhower has so often
said, it means travelling to the
ends of the earth.

DORIS FLEESON

Until dissatisfied Mime
sofa farmers in large numbers
expressed their resentment
against the Eisenhower adj
ministration by crossing over
to the Democratic side, few
observers foresaw that Wis
consin voters might make news
next Tuesday.
Senator Estes Kefauver is
the only entry in the Demo-
cratic primary. Among Repub-
licans President Eisenhower is
opposed only by a local editor
and isolationist, John b.
Chapple, who is expected to get
a mere token vote.
There has been no great
activity on either side and no
great effort to get out the vote.
Anything that did happen in
the primary would be wholly
spontaneous and therefore
very important.
What politicians on both
sides have belatedly realized is
that Wisconsin and Minnesota
are neighbors and very much
alike. They adjoin on a long
border and their large farm
populations are similar in
many ways. Wisconsin's cleo
ton laws are as fluid as those
of Minnesota, so it is easy for
the dissatisfied to alter their
party allegiance.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-28
Wisconsin May Surprise G. O.P.

What Republican politicians
know, though they try to keep
quiet about it, is that their
own people are complaining in
the farm States about Benson
and his policy. Even one-party
Republican Kansas and Iowa
are sending up storm signals.
Adlai Stevenson did not en-
ter the Wisconsin Democratic
primary this spring for several
reasons. Kefauver had carried
it in 1852 and was thought to
be still very popular there. The
beating Wendell Willkie got in
the G. o. P. lists in 1914 con-
vinced politicians generally
that internationalistS should
steer clear of the State.
The Willkie bogy will not at
flict the President. The State
leaders, for the late Senator
Taft in 1852. are solidly behind
Eisenhower now with most Of
them on his delegate slate. In
fact they helped carry Wiscon-
sin for him in the general cleo
ton when he beat Stevenson
80.
The President should do at
least as well, relative to Kefau-
yer, next Tuesday. Until the
Minnesota returns were
counted, he was considered far
out in front. But Minnesota
proved among other things
that it's politicians had under
estimated the extent of farmer
resentment against the Eisen-
hower-Benson policies.
