ing1y cooperative and far-sighted in giving,
for the first time in many years, the legiS-
lation that the Fish and Game Commission
needed to begin program of wise and
proper game management. The use of these
powers during the hunting season of 1855
and the present season of 1856 has proved
to us what can be done when sufficient lati-
tude and confidence is extended to us as a
commission and governing body.
Urgent Pleas
Readers may be surprised to know that
from good many of what have been
termed distress areas urgent pleas are
now coming in for us to shut off the hunting
and to accelerate the entire program. -.
Last winter was one that took a heavy
toll of antelope in particular and also of
deer, as is evidenced by the number of
skeletons that were found on the ranges.
It was proved beyond reasonable doubt that
most of them were due to winter kill.
This, coupled with the hunting pressure
and the heavy impact of hunting in this cur
rent season produced by the intensive pub
licity we gave the situation, has actually re-
suited in more than a sufficient killing or
harvesting in a great many areas.
Permit System Necessary
1t is regrettable, of course, that while the
game populations will be virtually ami
hilated in some small areas, there will be
remote and relatively inaccessible areas that
will receive altogether too little pressure

Marines Transport Plane Crashes,
In California Killing All 50 Men

OAKLAND, Calf, ga Ma
rine Corps transport plane Friday
crashed just below the fog
cred ridge of a tight box canyon
southeast of Oakland, killing all
38 men aboard
The crash was the second major
military air disaster within "a
hours in the San Francisco Bay
area. Four men died Thursday
and four others escaped when an
Air Force B-52 jet bomber blew
up over nearby Tracy.
The big marine plane was just
81 miles, minutes-from a
landing at Alameda Naval Air
Station on a flight from Ell Toro
and Camp Pendleton marine bases
in southern California.
The RD-5, Marine Corps equiv
alent of the DC-4, carried five
crewmen. The others, clad in
dungerees, were being transferred
to Treasure Island Navy Base for
reassignment. One passenger was
from FL Toro, the others from
Camp Pendleton.
The pilot was Maj. Alexander
Watson, 80, a Silver Star winner
in the Korean War.
Maj. Watson's last report was
at 1:42 pm, notifying Oakland

In Air Age Miracle

GREENSBORO, KY, R-Twen-
ty-three persons climbed out of

A miracle of the air age was

over on its back and slid about
the length of a football field in

New Hearings on
Campaign Fund
Offer TO Sen. Case

WASHINGTON, PA special
Senate committee headed by Sen.
George D-G0 suddenly called
new public hearings today on a
$4,000 campaign fund offer to
Sen. Case (R-SD) during the Sen
ate gas bill fight. George said the
group had decided to expand the
scope of its investigation.
George said Donald R. Ross,
who resigned last week as US.
district attorney for Nebraska,
may be one of the witnesses.
Reporters asked whether the
new hearings meant search for
evidence that other senators may
have received offers similar to the
one to Case. "In a general way"
George replied.
In previous hearings, the COM
mittee developed that John M.
Neff, of Lexington, Neb., a lawyer
lobbyist for Superior oil, left Is
$500 bills with friends of Case for
the senator's campaign fund.
Across the capitol, meantime,
the House formally put the gas
bill away in a pigeonhole for this
session. It heard clerk read
President EisenhoWer's message
vetoing the bill to exempt gas
producers from direct federal
price control. Then it referred the
vetoed bill to its Interstate Com
merce Committee.

Refused Permission
To Fly Over Siberia

He had hoped to fly to India in

permission for the Siberia leg of
the flight.

the trip, as it is planned by you,
cannot be arranged"

lings area, including a steam plant
at Billings.
AS to public power, there Is q
plant at Canyon Ferry east OF
Helena, one at Fort Peck near
Glasgow, and Hungry Horse in
the Kalispell area. Others are be-
ing projected, including Libby
dam on the Kootenai.
In the private power field, Mon
tana-Dakota Utilities company is
an important operator in the state.
| Now Washington Water Power
| company Is entering the general
ing business in western Montana
with construction, just beginning,
of its Noxon Rapids dam on the
Clark Fork west of Thompson
Falls. Completed not long ago was
Washington Water Powers Cabi-
net Gorge dam in Idaho nearly at
the Montana line. Water from this
dam backs up into Montana. The
outstanding power development in
prospect in eastern Montana Is
the bureau of reclamation Yellow
tail project ON the Big Horn river.
Private and public power are
already in a well established and
smoothly working partnership in
the Pacific northwest. Electricity
from both systems flows into the
Bonneville grid. Thus Montana,
which presently has a surplus of
power in that region, is an inn
portant contributor in meeting the
needs of the whole r This is
a logical and realistic arrange
ment which should be a pattern
for the future.
What apparently disturbs Con-
gresham Chudoff is that the in
terror department, under the Els
enhower administration, does not
go along with the whole hog pub
lie power schemes of the immed1-
ate predecessor administrations.
The same general thing disturbs
some members of the Montana
legislature. For example, during
he 1855 session there was oppo-
,ition to ratification of a Column
oia basin interstate water COM
pact because it was feared such
/ compact might hinder the de-
of the public power extrem-
SITS.
The resolution to ratify the COM
,act got from the senate over to
he house where it died in COM
1t may take quite a while
,efore all the involved states agree
N the compact, but Sc far as Mon
ana is concerned, the document

especially an electric power util
ity, has no right to ask a publi'
official or agency to consider it
side of a question affecting pub
lie policy.
Just a few years ago it appeared
to be quite proper for highly
placed persons in the department
of interior to use their office:
and the departments prestige tt
promote the naturalization of ma
tural resources, especially power
This was clearly evident to me
in 1949 when I sat through q hear
ing of the senate committee on
interior and insular affairs In
which top officials of the interior
department explained their blue
prints for a socialized economy
for natural resources.
The booklet which seems to have
forced up the blood pressure in
Congressman Chudoff's political
arteries is entitled 1.-THE Federal
Power Problem - Its Background,
Growth and Consequences" Mr..
| Raft testified that it was decided
in 1882 to publish such a presen-
tation for transmittal to the new
secretary of the interior, whoever
he might be. Fifty copies were
printed, one going, in 1858, to
Ralph Tudor, undersecretary of
the interior.
Not having read the booklet, /
can but surmise from the title
that it takes issue with the views
of the public power extremists
those who believe that all electric
energy should be developed, con-
trolled and distributed by the fed
eral government. Perhaps tn e
booklet suggests the partnership
plan where government and pri-
vate enterprise cooperate. This
would be another irritant to fell
lows like the Pennsylvania con-
gresham.
II Montana power is typical of
the private electric utility indus
try generally, I just can't see any
justification, in the public inter
est, for the public power extrem-
lists trying to put these private
enterprises out of bust
ness In my experience, Montana
Power is an excellent public util-
ity-a highly reputable corpora
ton which has done, and contin-
ues to do, much for the upbuild-
ing of this state and the north
west
How much Montana Power has
invested, and continues to invest,
n electric energy generating and
distributing facilities, I do not
know, but it is well up in the
millions, not to mention invest
nents In its natural gas system
