Montana Business Good In
Some Areas, Sporty In Others

MISSOULA-The outlook for agri.
culture in Montana is more favorable
than it has been for some time. with
farm prices up eight per cent over
April of 1856, and crop prospects
good, according to DR.. Edward J.
Chambers, associate director of the
Montana State University Bureau OF
Business and Economics Research
Non-agricultural employment is
above levels year ago, retail trade
in the soft lines appears to be holding
up well, and in the eastern part of
the state, petroleum exploration and
pumping are we'll ahead of the COM
parable period last year, DR.. Cham
bers reports in the current issue of
Montana Business, publication of
the MSU School of Business Admin
istration. Mining and smelling opera
tions have held up we'll in spite of
the very considerable readjustment
in copper prices, he writes.
While conditions are good in these
segments of the states economy, they
are spotty in others, he notes. Durable
goods have been sluggish, with new
passenger car registrations through
May off seven per cent from last year.
Logging and numbering operations in
western Montana continue to be cur
tailed. reflecting the national decline
in residential construction. Construc-
tion activity in the state through
April, as measured by contract
awards, is running behind that for the
same months last year. CA drop of

the various classes conducted each
week of the annual encampment. AS
preliminary to each weeks activi-
ties, the Juniors elected their own
governing board. They also operated
cooperative store and published a
newspaper while at camp.
Three international exchange stu
dents participated in discussions of
world problems: Palmer Keyworth of
England, Harm Mellema of the Meth
erlands, and Darwin Tobing of Indo-
nesia. Keyworth and Mellema are
NFU trainees on Montana ranches,
and Tobing is student at Eastern
Montana College in Billings.
Recreational activities were direct
ed by Grace Walker of the National
Recreation Association, a student of
the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
in London and the School of Inter-
national Studies at Geneva. Miss
Walker also lectured at Northern
Montana College in Havre during her
stay here.
Visiting speakers were Peter Stiff
arm of Northern Montana College,
who discussed American Indian prob
lens; Ernest Salvas of Butte. inter
national board member of the Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers; !;
Lawrence Jacobson of the Farmers
Union Grain Terminal Association
and E. K. Babcock of Farmers Union
Central Exchange. Other classes and
activities were directed by staff mem
bers of Montana Farmers Union.

Satisfactory developments in Nor
tana's economy during the rest of the
year will depend to a considerable de-
gree upon the continuation of the
favorable agricultural outlook, the
realization of prospects for national
improvement in residential construc-
ton, and the maintenance of degree
of stability in mineral production"
DR.. Chambers says.
The MSU economist looks for con-
tinued national economic growth for
the rest of the year. He sees encourag-
ment in the strength of final demand
for goods and services and the con-
servative inventory position taken by
business in the past six months.
He summarizes the situation as fol-
lows: Business capital expenditures
are expected to remain high through
out 1857. Prospects are that consum-
Ell outlays, including those on dur
ables, will show some increase during
the latter part of the year. An eX-
pected increase in the availability of
funds for government guaranteed
mortgages (as result of the increase
in the maximum FILA contract rate)
may be reflected in some increase in
residential construction later in the
year. Government spending will con-
tinue high.
The combination of a healthy in
ventory-sales relationship and the
prospect for increased demand later
in the year make the outlook for the
last half of 1857 promising, DR..
Chambers concludes.

MANY SPEAKERS AT
CONVENTION

AS always, a very good roster of
speakers were on the agenda to talk
on issues of Importance to the dele
gates. These included:
Richard Leonard, administrative as
sistant to Walter Reuther in the In
dustrial Union Department of ALL
CIO. Leonard made ringing appeal
to labor to face up to the problems
they are beset with, to unity in spirit
as we'll as name inA order to be more
effective in securing desired eco
nomic, political and social gains, and
to ward off the increasing attacks of
some major employer groups. He also
insisted that labor must throw out
racketeers and crooks whenever and
wherever they are to be found in posi-
tions of leadership.
Arnold Olsen, former attorney gen
eral, and no stranger to Montana la
Dor, told the delegates they must draft
better programs for labor and then
join together in more effective man
ner to secure their detectives. Olsen,
taking sharp dissent with message
earlier read on the floor from Gov.
Aronson which had as it's theme that
labor must be responsible" insisted
that labor in Montana is both respon-
sible and mature and is discharging
it's responsibilities in proper man
ner. He suggested the Governor
should himself become Irresponsible"
before advocating the same to others,
recalling that the Governor had pro-
vided no leadership for the last Leg
islature. responsible or otherwise.
Leonard Kenfield, President Mon
tana Farmers Union, reviewed the
long record of cooperation his or
ganization and labor have enjoyed

SATURDAY NIGHT BANQUET

Unlike most banquets, delegates
were spared lengthy speeches. In
stead, Convention Arrangements
Chairman Mary Nader and her COM
mittee had on the agenda three very
good entertainment numbers by local
Great Falls talent.
Another highlight of the banquet
program was the presentation to Pres
ident James S. TIMBER and Vice Pres
ident (and State Repr.) James
Meagher, plaques by the Great Falls
Firefighters Union in appreciation of
the great help given by both men in
securing passage of legislation de-
sired by Montana firemen. Most i'm
portant of this was the 40-hour
week, thus making Montana the first
state in the union to set by statute
the 40-hour week for men in this line
of endeavor.

MEMORIALS, OTHER
RESOLUTIONS

Several resolutions in addition to
those covered elsewhere in this issue
were also given favorable action.
Mary Nader, acting president of
Cascade County Trades & Labor AS
sembly, read a memoriam honoring
the assembly's late president, Austin
G. Thompson, who passed away earl
ier in the month. The convention also
noted with sorrow the passing of
William j. Priest, Livingston, and
longtime active Montana labor lead
er, and of Mrs. Rose Rivin, wife of
Sam Riven-both of whom were for
many years active in the states labor
movement.
Another resolution extended the
delegates thanks to Mayor John Stef-
FAM and Chief of Police Harold Mady,
as representatives of the City of Great
Falls, for the hospitality shown in
making delegates welcome to the city.
A similar resolution was approved
thanking the Cascade County Trades
& Labor Assembly for it's major con-
tribution in handling the arrangement

to proceed through it's heavy agenda
with a minimum of confusion.

proper place for workers in the
non-ferrous metals industry within
the AFL-CIO family of organized
labor, as solution to this problem
is of particularly serious concern to
the people of Montana"
Dick Everingham, Nye, Steelwork-
ers' Local 1888 delegate, who had
earlier opposed the substitute reso-
luton prepared by the committee,
seconded Melton's motion, and it was
passed unanimously by the delegates.
BOARD MEMBERS ELECTED
Eleven of twelve constitutionallv-
provided for executive board members
were elected to serve the next two
years following having been nomi-
mated in caucuses of delegates from
the various districts. Because no dele
gates were present from District TO-,
comprising the Miles City-Forsyth
area, the board will appoint member
from that district at its organization
al meeting.
Board members are: Frank Bir-
mingham, Butte Teamsters, District
No. /; Chester Bates, Helena Hod
Carriers, District 2; John Evanko,
Great Falls Theatrical Union. No. 81;
Charles Baldwin, Missoula Machin-
lists, No. A M. Julia Burke, Anaconda

cow Hotel q Restaurant EMPLOYEES.
No. 6;
Albert Root, Kalispell Lumber &
Sawmill Workers, No. 7; Robert
Rampy, Bozeman Transfers, No. 8;
Ed Kautsky, Billings Butchers, No. g;
No. 10, to be filled; William Shawl,
Libby L&SW, No. IL; R. R. Grant,
Havre Electricians, No. II.
Birmingham, Bates, Burke, Kautsky
and Shawl were reelected to the
board. Root, elected vice president of
the old Montana State Federation #
Labor in 1855, resigned at the April
1856 merger convention in order for
the then head of the CIO Industrial
Union Council, William Nichols, to
have place on the state board.
Retiring board members are Reva
Walterskirchen, Missoula HIRE;
Walter Davidson, Great Falls Plumb
ers; Joe Crosswhite, Kalispell Operat-
ing Engineers; Give Farlin, Ana
conda Steelworkers (now defunct),
and Bert Price, Billings Oil Workers.
The convention, by resolution,
thanked these retiring board members
and Vice President Nichols for the
faithful service they had performed
during their tenure on the executive
board.
In addition to selecting board
member for District 10, the executive
board by convention resolution will
also name one board member from
the old CIO union group to serve
until the 1858 convention. Ex-CIO
unions are to be queried as to men,
bers they would like to nominate for
the post, and, after nominations are in
one will be elected by the State ALL
CIO board.

four years the terms of office OF

have substituted a biennial conven-
ton for the present annual affair.
Still another important convention
resolution requested that every "ef-
fort be made to reverse present Ma
tional Labor Relations Board policies
and ensure a return to the purposes
of the act - In so doing, the
convention pointed out that in recent
years the NLRB has "become the
prosecutor of labor unions instead of
protector of labor's rights Copies
of this resolution are to be sent to
Secretary of Labor James Mitchell.
WOULD END COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOLS
Because county high schools, by
having their school boards appointed
by county commissioners rather than
elected, are less democratic than dis
trict high schools, another resolution
urged legislation to facilitate the
abolishment of county high schools in
the various counties. 1t was also
pointed out that in counties where
there are county high schools there
is duplication of administration and
school facilities which add materially
to the tax load for support of schools.
In Montana at this time there are Is
such county high schools and 160
district high schools.
Revision of the State Housing Au-
thority Enabling Act to make pro-
cedure less cumbersome in setting up
such authorities is to be sought of the
next Legislature. In so resolving, the
convention pointed out that the pres
ent law greatly hinders going ahead
with badly needed low-cost housing
to eliminate what amounts to slum
conditions in some cities of the state.
Low-rent housing in existence in
Great Falls, Anaconda, Butte, Helena,
and Sidney, were held up as an excel
lent examples of the improved living
quarters which can be brought about
by more such housing.

Investment in Jordan

Announcement that $50 million In
American aid has been extended to Jor-
dan since last April indicates that for
the time being, at least, we are assuming
the major role Of substituting that Middle
East kingdom. At the same time, there
is evidence that the investment-not
large in terms Of our overall foreign
aid programs a sound one and that
Tangible returns already may be counted.
Jordan faced serious threat to its indie
pendence last spring. It was, in the first
place, squarely in the middle Of an Arab
rivalry in which the Syrian-Egyptian bloc
was attempting to associate it with pol
icies more anti-Western than neutraliSt-
struggle in which Arab nationalist in
duences were linked dangerously with
prof. Communist designs. At one point it
appeared that the country itself might be
dismembered, with Syrian plans for an
nexation being countered from the outside
only by Iraqi determination not to let
Jordan be conquered militarily by another
Arab power.
In the first instance 1t was courageous
action by 22-year-old King Hussein, sup
ported by loyal elements in the army, that
frustrated the plotting and maintained
orderly government. An initial American
grant Of $40 million for nonmilitary pur-
poses helped carry the country through
the first period Of emergency. The next
important helping hand came when King
Saud of Saudi Arabia, indorsing the Eisen-
hover doctrine for protection of the
Middle East against Communist subver-
ct0Ya oNd oRnraecfAVn fnnbp f6n NVHtffo ffxrA
in political rapprochement between
his own family and the rival Hashemite
family to which both Hussein and King
Faisal of Iraq belong. To the Moslem
Middle East this was a development Of
great meaning King Saud likewise has
forwarded at least half Of a promised
$14 million contribution to Jordan's A.
nancial needs, in contrast to the failure
thus far by both Syria and Egypt.to make
good on similar pledges. Meanwhile,
Iraq has made available $4.5 million In
credits and Britain is considering a loan
for development projects. The latest
American help includes $40 million worth
Of military equipment and second $40
million for nonmilitary support.
Jordan's long-term problem Of how
or whether 1t can become a self-support-
Ing nation Is not resolved by this mod
crate financial assistance. King Hussein
has, however, given an impressive display
of political skill and determination, and
his country has been rescued from the
immediate threat Of chaos or conquest.

AppIouds Chief Murroy

Nothing has ever aroused my
Indignation so much as the
recent announcement by the
NAACP that they contemplate
seeking the custer Of our won
derful Chief of Police, Robert
v. Murray.
I am a plain, ordinary, I'M
biased citizen and / have lived
in the District of Columbia
most Of my life and have seen
many changes take place. I
sincerely believe in equal rights
for all, regardless Of race,
color or creed, but when the
NAACP or any other organiza-
ton has the audacity to ask
the, dismissal Of a man who
has proven his worth as Chief
Of Police and in every other
capacity in which he so ably,
honestly and efficiently served
on the police force of our Ma
tons Capital, then I think it's
time to call a halt and force
the accusers to try and prove
their charges, which I am sure
are unfounded, untrue and
absurd.
I feel sure that a man Of
Robert v. Murray's character,
which is above reproach, will
neither be ruf1ed nor will his
head be bowed by these insidi-
GUS remarks. His strength OF
character. integrity and fair
ness to all, regardless of color,
have made him the greatest
Chief Of Police this town has
ever known.

for Peace

Many Of us are terribly con-
cerned, in fact, shocked, at
the lack of respect paid the
scientists who have made such
noble efforts to show us the
life endangering, life Grip
ping consequences Of con-
tinued bomb testing.
When men like Albert
Schweitzer and others of ex-
cellent reputation plead for a
worldwide hating Of the tests,
it makes me ashamed of Amer
lea that we can't put our know
how and brains together and
work out some satisfactory
program Of disarmament and
peace. Now I see that we are
going to work on perfecting
bombs without fall-out. We
and the rest of the world don't
want bombs of any kind. We
want peace and security with
a chance to work out our lives
according to the dictates of
our conscience.
Most certainly we are max
ing some efforts for peace, but
I'll wager that If we put as
much effort, money and time
into peace preparation as we
are now putting into war prep
aration we would indeed find
a solution and win the love,
respect and honor from our
brothers all over the world.
This is the kind Of leadership
the world is praying and look
ing for.
