In Congress They All Know
But Are Afraid To Tell

Everybody is whining about the
budget of $71.S billions. Postmen are
weary toting bags of protests. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans join in saying
it should be cut. They are willing to
trim postmens' salaries, farmers COM
pensation, stop building roads, schools,
flood control and brag about cut of
one or two billions. Even Sen. Byrd
(of brave family, brother of the ia
nous Antarctic explorer) a preacher
of thrift, has only courage enough to
suggests a cut of IS billions! And this
in cost of benefits to Americans.
Every person of common sense knows
that the trouble is the shift in govern
ment from the Capitol, across the Poto-
mac to the Pentagon, the Arcanum of
the Military War Mongers of these
United States. From that temple issue
orders to Congress to supply billions

WASHINGTON NOTEBOOK
By VIC REEMER Office of Senator James E. Murray

to authorize the federal government
to meet its responsibility for hospital
facilities for ward Indians by chip
ping in to help build community hos
pitfalls.
Passage of the bill would mean
that community hospital serving
Indians would be eligible for federal
construction aid in addition to that
provided under the Halliburton Act.
A community seeking to build, ex-
pand, remodel or equip a hospital
would make its application for Hill
Burton aid as it does now. In addition,
it could also apply under this bill for
an additional grant in an amount
based on the percentage of use of the
proposed construction attributable to
Indians.
This would be an alternative to
continuing to build Indian hospitals.
The Public Health Service could adopt
this alternative approach when it is
found best and most economical.
AS an example, Metcalf used the
situation in the Fort Peck area. The
Indian hospital on the Fort Peck
reservation is "substandard and
should be replaced" he told the com
mittee.
Both nearby communities of Pop
lar and Wolf Point propose to con-
struct community hospitals under the
Hill Burton Act" he went on. "Both
will need money in addition to local
and Halliburton money if these COM
munity hospitals are to provide facili-
ties for Indian wards of the federal
"And, in the opinion Of the Mon
tana congressional delegation, the
federal government would save mon
ey if, instead Of replacing the obso-
Iete Indian hospital on the Fort Peck
reservation and building duplicating
facilities nearby with Halliburton |
funds. we Clipped in to help build |
5wo community hospitals, which would
care for both Indians and whites"
The committee heard members of
Congress as part Of a screening pro-
less to decide which bills will be con-
idered further.
While he was before the commit

ration in urging further consideration

state and local mosquito research and
control programs.
The delegation statement used the
Milk River Valley as an example of
an area in need of such a program.
The valley is plagued by mosquitoes
which carry encephalitis sleeping
sickness).
The delegation, Metcalf said, ''be-
lieves the time has come to launch an
intensive and co-ordinated attack on
mosquitoes by federal, state and To-
cal governments. This legislation
would carry such an attack"

BIG DEAL

BIG DEAL
One of these days, the Forest Serv-
ice and the Bureau of Land Manage
ment will announce transfer from
the former to the latter of more than
l million acres of public land in Mon
tana.
The land, now being administered
by the Forest Service, is grazing land,
which those at top government eche-
Ions believe is more the job of BLM.
The Montana Grass Conservation
Commission has expressed concern
over the transfer and has asked for
a public hearing, which agency heads
have promised the Montana congress
sional delegation. The commission
points out that some of its co-opera-
tive state grazing districts have lot
of this land under lease.
The Forest Service operates under
10-year lease agreements, while lands
under jurisdiction of BIN are on an
annual basis. 1t is the feeling Of the
commission that these long-term lease
agreements must be maintained to in
sure continuation of the present
stable operation of the districts.
On that point, we are told that
BLM has agreed to continue existing
leases. But nothing has been said so
far about what happens when these
run out.
COMMUNITY HOSPITALS
Congressman Metcalf made the
Montana Congressional delegations
preliminary pitch for their bills to
provide for federal grants to assist
in the construction of community
hospitals to serve both Indians and
whites.
He appeared at a preliminary hear
ing of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, which, in the
House has jurisdiction over the bill

Jp Leo Carter Has
Another Busy Month

Leo E. Carter, Justice of the
Peace for the village of Cald-
we'll, submitted a monthly report
this week which revealed that q
total of $262.47 had been collect
ed in the JP court last month
from various traffic violation
fines.
JP Carter stated that of the
total amount collected, S212.37
was turned over to the Treasurer
of Noble county, the state patrol
received $500 and the sheriff's
department, $4110.
After JP Carter had closed his
books early to make out the
monthly reports, he had 13
violators of the law to appear
before him on Saturday and
Sunday and $23231 in fines had

The new year brought some
thing new to social security.
Now it includes disability insur-
ance as well as old-age and sur
vivors insurance. Beginning with
January, a disabled child of an
old-age insured beneficiary or
of an insured worker who has
died, was eligible to get mon
thly payments after reaching age
10; beginning with July, an in
Sured worker who is disabled
may get monthly payments be-
| tween the ages of so and 65.
AS payments to disabled adult
children are now in effect, and
many children throughout the
country received their first mon
thly checks early in February,
I'll devote this article to this new
provision in the social security
law. To get disabled child's bene-
fits a person must be dependent
upon a parent, Step-parent, or
adopting parent who is entitled
to old-age insurance benefits or
who was insured for benefit
payments at the time of his or
her death.
Under the old law all children
of such a parent were entitled
to monthly payments until they
reached age 18 unless they mar
ried before reaching that age.
This has not been changed.
Under the new law, however, a
! disabled dependent child is en-
titled to monthly payments after
age 18 unless the child marries
or overcome his disability. In
addition, benefits paid to a moth
er who has an unmarried child
in her care will continue as long
as the child's disability exists.
To be entitled to child's dis
ability insurance benefits a child
must not only be dependent on
a parent who is getting old-age
insurance benefits or who died
after 1899 and was insured for
social security benefits at the
time of death, but the child must
meet certain other conditions
under the social security law
He or she must have become dis
abled before reaching age 18,
and the disability must have con-
tinued until after age l8. The
disability, moreover, must be SO
severe as to prevent the person
from working and must be ex-
| pected to continue for a long
time or indefinitely. A tempor-
ary or partial disability will not
entitle a child to disabled child's
benefits after age l8

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Q--My World War II perman-
ent CT insurance lapsed, and VA
automatically continued it in
force under extended term insur-
ance. / want to reinstate my per-
manent policy. Will l have to
take physical examination?
Aft you reinstate within
five years of the date the ex-
tended insurance would expire,
you will not need a medical
examination or any medical
evidence of good health. If you
reinstate after that time limit,
you will be required to take an
examination.
Off school was approved
to train veterans under the
World War II GI Bill, will it also
be considered approved to train
Korea veterans?
A-Not necessarily. World War
II CT Bill approval does not
carry over. The schools courses
must be approved specifically for
Korea veterans.
Q-I am planning to sell my
house and let the buyer take
over my CT loan, provided VA
will release me from liability.
Once l receive my liability re-
lease, would l automatically be
entitled to another CT loan?
A-No. Obtaining a release
from CT liability does not entitle
you to another CT loan. The only
veterans whose CT loan entitle-
ment may be restored are those
who must dispose of their prop
erty TO certain compelling rea-
sons such as condemnation by the
government or i'll health.
Q--Is there any deadline for
applying for disability compensa-
ton for a service-connected dis
ability?
A-There is no deadline. You
may apply at any time. However,
if you file your application with
in one year following your dis
charge from service, the pay
ments may be made retroactive
to the day after your discharge,
providing your disability was
! eempensable at that time.

strong back stage
pressures are building up for size
able cuts. with foreign aid as the
principal target. There's gruln-
hing. too, about the size OF the
defense budget.
Congress is in an economy mood.
There is no doubt about that.
Congressmen who have been here
for many years tell us they are
getting more spending protests
than ever before from their con-
stituents.
Treasury Secretary George
Humphrey has quieted down, pub
licly, but in private talks with
congressman he apparently is not
discouraging them from making
cuts in the budget. Word is tnat
the White House told him to "lay
off" talking for publication.
Tt is the well-eStablished, al
though little known, practice OF
government agencies to lobby
Congress for all the money they
can get. These lobbyists are gov
ernment officials on the public
payroll.
By contrast, there are almost
none here who represent and
speak for taxpayers before the ap-
propriations committees, It is the
common practice to hold ap-
propriations hearings in secret.
behind locked and guarded doors.
Testimony is edited. and released
only after the appropriation oliis
have been passed by Congress and
signed by the President.
When it is too late to do any
thing about it, taxpayers learn
the size of the government Dill
thev are going to have to pay.
Their only hope is that the ap-
propriations committees will whit
tie the agency demands and that
the Senate and House will back
up any cuts they make.
The s72 billion Federal budget
for the year starting next July 1
looks awfully big to q lot OF tax
payers who will have to foot the
bill. That bill will amount to al
most $500 per person, on ma
tional average. Several congress
men tell us they won't dare go
home unless they vote for a re-
duction in government spending.
The difficulty is that they are
not given enough unbiased infor-
nation on which to make intell1-
gent cuts. Probably 999o of the
testimony in hearings is for the
budget requests, and very little
argument against them. They
hesitate to vote blindiy against
White House estimates Of what is
needed.
This hesitancy is especially true
in the case of defense and foreign
aid estimates. No congressman
wants to weaken the national de-
fense. The two combined-mili-
tary functions and foreign aid
amount to $45,3 billion, or almost
two-thirds of the 1858 fiscal year
budget.
The international situation be-
ing what it is, there isn't much
chance that Congress will over
ride Presidential objections and
whittle any sizeable chunk of de-
fense and foreign aid spending
1t isn't, however, too difficult to
detect feeling on Capitol Hill
that some of our allies ought to
be doing more for themselves.
Tt takes STA billion year just
to pay the interest on the $26s
billion national debt and that, o1
course, can't be cut. The debt
carrying charge accounts for more
than 10 cents out every dollar
collected in taxes.
That leaves only about $40 bill
lion for all other government ex'
penses, and odds are against Con.
gress cutting those as much a.
1Oeo. So, you can look for yer,
little reduction in government
spending-or in taxes, for tina
matter.
