Fairfield Phone
Coop Planning
Big Expansion

Plans to bring telephone service fol-
the first time to 1888 farms anc
ranches have been announced by the
Three Rivers Rural Telephone Coop
erative of Fairfield, which has just
received loan from REA, the lend
ing agency at Washington, for ST.
298,000.
The Fairfield plans to use these
loan funds to furnish telephone serv-
ice to 1928 farms and ranches in an
additional service area where there
is little or no service at present. The
Three Rivers cooperative proposes to
expand it's operating area into Chou
teau, Judith Basin and Pondera coun-
ties, and to serve additional areas in
Cascade and Teton counties.
1t plans to construct 1909 miles of
new line and diel central offices at
Carter. DePuyer, Geyser, Pendroy,
Pondera, Raynesford and Sand Cou-
lee. Present plans include service
without toll charge between Pondera
and the town of Conrad which is the
county seat.
The two loans to Three Rivers,
totaling 1000, will make possible
new and improved service to 2,457
subscribers in Cascade, Chouteau,
Judith Basin, Lewis and Clark, Pom
dera and Teton counties. The system
will consist of 1,74O miles of line and
II exchanges. The Augusta, Fairfield,
Ft. Shaw, Power and Simms ex-
changes are in operation serving ap-
proximately 900 subscribers in those
areas.

Apparently Modern Republicans, like those
of the Mellon era, are most happy when they
are gathering for the rich the nations natural
resources
1t was not always the case that Republicans
first thought was to give public resources t..
a privileged few for exploitation at the ex
pense of the mass of Americans. 1t was none
other than a Republican President, Theodore
Roosevelt, who, in 1908, issued executive
order which set aside the Hells Canyon area
of the Snake River as part of the public for
est preserves so that it's waterpower potential
could not be exploited for private profit. A
year later Theodore Roosevelt warned the
nation that "the great corporations are act
ing with foresight, singleness of purpose, and
vigor to control the waterpower of the coun-
try. He declared that "to give away, with
out conditions, this one of the greatest of our
resources, would be folly"
Thus Theodore Roosevelt, Republican
President, was the author of the 'giveaway''

where power is generated if they are
to be tied into power grid?
Would it be possible to reserve
by law a portion of the power gen
Grated for use in Montana? The Para
disc bill provides all firm power be
reserved for Montana use.
Would this power be sufficient
in amount and low enough in cost
to develop" the Upper Columbia
basin, which UCDC says is it's reason
for existence?
Only when we have reliable answers
to such questions as these, almost all
of which will be provided for the
Paradise Project by the updating of
the Army Engineers Report 308, will
it be possible to compare the relative
merits of the two programs. Only
then will UCDC's "many small head
waters dams" be anything but pipe
dream, or a smokescreen.
Incidentally, UCDC's persistent
plugging for creative free enter
prise, a pretty name for profits for
corporation stockholders, is shown by
its advocating "steam plants down
stream, coupled with failure to de-
velop the maximum of hydro-poten-
tial of the river. They would let the
God-given free energy of falling
water belonging to all the people,
waste embarrassed into the sea, while
consumers pay for expensive steam
generated current from privately
owned and profitably marketed coal.
Would this stand the test of "the
greatest good for the largest num-
ber for the longest time? Sincerely,

What Is the Program of Upper
Columbia Development Council?

The Upper Columbia Development
Council has repeatedly voiced it's
preference for "many small head
waters dams" as a solution for the
flood control problem on the Colum-
bia River, where average yearly flood
damage is now $45 million. wish
they would describe their program in
more detail. The Committee for Para
disc Dam is interested in any pro-
gram which provides "the greatest
good for the largest number for the
longest time', the standard for all
conservation projects. Will their
many upstream dams meet this test?
To decide whether they will, we
would have to know more about their
program. Here are a few questions
we would like them to answer:
How many dams would be neces-
sary to accomplish what Paradise
is designed to do?
Where do they propose to build
the dams? We have seen no map.
How many acre feet would each
dam store?
What is the total acreage that
would be inundated? A quart of
water covers lot more surface
poured into a lot of little saucers
than into one big bowl.
How many cubic feet per second
would the combined dams cut from the
flow at the Dalles, the measure of
flood control adopted by the Army
How would they be controlled?
Who would decide when to store and
when to spill water?
. Who would build the dams? At
what cost?
How many of the dams would be
suitable for generation of power?
How much firm power would each
dam generate?
What would be the cost of trans
mission lines necessary to intercon-
meet "many small headwaters dams?
e At what rate per XVIII could they
furnish current? By whom would it be
What is the source of their engi-
neering data? The answers to these
primary questions would be the basis
for other questions:
How would the flooding of high
mountain valleys affect wild life?
Isn't that where big game feeds in
winter?
How would the cost of mainte-
nance and operation of "many small
lams" compare with such costs for
me high dam? Wouldn't is be neces-
ary to keep a crew at each dam

MSU Writer'S
Conference Set
For July 22nd

SSOULA-Montana State Uni
versity's annual writer's conference
will take place during the week of
July %, according to H. V. Larom,
conference director. Featuring a staff
of internationally known authors, the
conference includes lectures, panels,
discussions and personal conferences
concerning the short story, the novel,
non-fiction, writing for children, and
poetry.
All the members of the staff are
not only authors, but skilled teachers
and editors, who will read manuscripts
and then give personal criticisms to
each conferee in a private interview,
Larom said. Because of the time
necessary for analyzing these manu-
scripts, the number of conferees is
limited to SO so manuscripts can be
given thorough consideration, he
added.
Although preference is given to
Montanans, conferees have come from
as far away as Maine, California,
Canada and Texas, and already de-
posits have been received from many
out-of-staters, Larom said. Total cost.
covering the reading of one manu-
script, all conference sessions plus
the annual conference dinner, will be
$25. Anyone interested should write

In THE WESTERN NEWS

Back in the Harding Administration it was
discovered by Senator LaFollette that nation
al oil reserves at Teapot Dome and other
places were being handed over to the big
oil companies. An investigation conducted
by Montana's Senator T. j. Walsh uncovered
the rascals Two of Harding's cabinet mem
bers were involved. Resource assets worth
hundreds of millions were saved. Some peo-
pie went to Jail, some went into exile, more
escaped with blackened regulations. Some
people think the mess contributed to Hard
ing's untimely death.
During the contemporary Eisenhower Ad-
ministration some of the off-shore oil re-
serves of the nation have been handed over
to the Oil Trust, most valuable hydroeectric
sites are in process of being given to favored
corporations, timber reserves of the nation
are being delivered to the Lumber Barons

and the potential of atomic energy is being
sought by the privateers of Industry.
The AL Sarena timber deal is only one Of
number of sinking attempts to filch the
nations timber resources.
The gift of Hells Canyon to the Idaho
Power Co., if permitted to be consummated,
is loss to the nation far greater than Teapot
Dome. The nations taxpayers invested bill
lions of dollars in developing the atomic
techniques. Now it is proposed by the smart
boys of the Eisenhower Administration 10
hand this development financed by the
tion's taxpayers and designed and perfected
by scientists in the employ of Uncle Sam,
over lock, stock and barrel to private industry
so that the general public can be exploited
and the rich made richer. When those running
the government today will figure out scheme
for turning over exploitation of the air Ameri
cans breath to some giant corporation we can
expect the Eisenhower Administration to abet

A Modern Manual for the Home Library "
Radiation, What 1t Is
And How II Affects You

holds were without handy home.
guide to likely ailments. In a season
when the newest and deadliest bombs
light up the Nevada desert and when
scientists doubts conflict with poll
tlclans' certainties, there is a new
manual for moderns. 1t rates an ac-
cessible spot on any shelf.
This handbook* is prepared by two
of the nations top atomic scientists
DR.. Jack Schubert, biologist and chem
ist, formerly with the Argonne Lab
oratory, U. S. delegate to the 1866
Atoms for Peace" Conference, cur
rently lecturing at the University of
Chicago; and DR.. Ralph E. Lapp,
physicist, formerly with the Manhat-
tan Project that developed the A
Bomb, and the Argonne Laboratory,
and adviser to the top military eche-
Ions on nuclear physics. Both now
offer their wisdom less to the brass
than to the rank-and-file.
The peril they concern themselves
with is the unceasing bombardment of
the human body by rays from vari-
ETY. of sources. Some are natural and
inevitable. Others are side-effects of
necessary medical treatment but often
excessive due to negligence, misuse
of equipment, or the quackery of
medical big business. With the con-
struction of atomic energy plants, the
problem of how to live in nuclear
age becomes pressing. And with the
vast menace of the fall-out, silently
poisoning the air, water and soil,
everyone must become familiar with
these shadowy rays just as an earlier
generation learned to talk glibly of
equally invisible germs and viruses.
The effects of radiation are SUBJ
stantially the same whether the
source is the dentists machine, the
waste product of peaceful atomic
plant producing electricity, or the
H-bomb. All radiation damages the
human cell structure, tending to
create mutations. In most body
cells these mutations may pass on
their deformed structure they
reproduce themselves. In the gen.
erative cells they may pass on de-
formities to future generations.
Drs. Schubert and Lapp describe
sharply and vividly the nature of
these rays, but they do not argue
against them as if they were exorcis-
ing devils. They merely offer the bal
ance sheet. Plainly there is more good
than evil in the X-ray machines and
the authors do not urge a campaign
to destroy them. Dentists, diagnosti-
clans and therapists must continue to
X-ray, weighing the damage to the
body against the insight X-ray photos
give, or the power X-rays have to
destroy malignancies.
There is danger, though, in the
absence of control over X-ray ad-
the great numbers of
doctors who do not know the power
If their machines; the excessive, often
needless use of microscopes which
.an deliver as much radiation to a
,hild in a year of regular eXamina-
ions as the maximum permitted to
worker in an atomic energy plant. (

guile the children.
The authors cite as vivid propa-
ganda" booklet published in 1855

Kodak Co., plugging X-ray film. 1t
urges pregnant women to have x
rays to check on the possibilities of
twins, although the authors cite sta
tistics and the highest medical au-
thorities on the dangers of X-rays to
embryos. The booklet cheerfully plugs
X-rays for the kiddies and urges par
ents to make such examinations "eX-
citing and entertaining. Lapp and
Schubert are shocked to find no word
of caution in the booklet though x
rays can be deadly when excessively
administered and the danger is great
est to children.
The glib cheerfulness of the Atomic
Energy Commission is taken apart in
chapters on the fall-out. The authors
point out that even if one took the
Aces low estimate, indicating that
strontium-90 or other bomb by-prod-
ucts affect only L % of the popula-
ton, the damage is far from negli-
gible. In small group, .1@o is neg
ligible fraction, but .1ao of the
worlds population is 100000 people
whose lives cannot be considered neg
ligible. Exploding bombs at the rate
of 10 megatons year (and 1857
looks like a bigger boom year than
that would, by such calculating, af
feet 100000 people annually.
Actually recent testimony by sci
entists in Washington indicate that
the fall-out is not spread uniformly
but concentrated in temperate zones
so that the radioactive strontium is
falling about us and being absorbed
inside us in greater quantities than
previously supposed 1t is just this
tentative state of our knowledge that
the authors cite as the best argument
against the bomb. We know there is
danger and disagree only on how
much; yet the bombs continue to go
off; the radioactive materials rise up,
eventually to fall and be absorbed by |
US, all the time emitting their damag- |
ing rays.
How poisoned are we? The authors
cite the distinguished geneticist Prof.
II. j. Muller who, on the basis of Acc
figures, calculates that we have al
'eady passed on to our descendants as
many harmful mutations as we in
'licted upon the japanese at Hiro
hima.
How deadly are these rays that
we cannot see or feel? The incl
dence of leukemia is nine times
greater among radiologists than
among other males, their life-span
is So years less than the average.
They are in an exposed position, it
may be said, but they receive less
than twice the amount of radiation
weekly set by the Acc as a general
public safety standard.
Drs. Schubert and Lapp have two
