NO BRIDGES NEEDED
FOR RADIO WAVES

In commenting on how 371 will
be able to provide better service to its
members, Crosswhite points out that
the rugged terrain of northwestern
Montana has always made it difficult
for the union to expedite job place
ment and other services to its mem
bers. Lack of roads and bridges and
an abundance of mountains to cri-
cumvent. in dollars-and-cents terms is
very costly, not only to the skilled
operators belonging to Local 371, but
to employers with heavy investments
in road and other construction equip
ment.
Now. if contractor needs Scat
skinner. shovel runner, or an ex-
perienced "grease-monkey', immedi-
ate contact can be made between Off
cials of 371 and the staffs in the three
offices; a qualified operator to meet
the contractors need can be imme-
diately checked for availability, and
in a matter of hours a man can be
on the job.
Not only will this result in quicker
job placements for members, but it
will also be very valuable service
to contractors. For example, a con-
tractor needs a good "catskinner'',

Helena Labor Urged
To Shun Shopping At
Montgomery Ward

The more than 1000 members
of organized labor and their fami-
lies in the Capital City area, Mon
day evening were urged to avoid
shopping at Montgomery Wards
local outlet, by the Helena Trades
& Labor Assembly.
The assembly's appeal to rank
and-file members came after dis
cussion of a request from the Re-
tail Clerks International Associa-
ton for assistance in persuading
the nationwide chain to bargain in
good faith with the union of its
employees.
RCA advised the Helena assembly
that because of Montgomery Wards
refusal to bargain in good faith the
union has filed unfair labor prac-
tice charges before the National
Labor Relations Board.
Cooperation of all members of
labor and their friends is being
sought by the Retail Clerks to hast
en- a decision on the part of Ward
management to sit down and nego-
tiate mutually acceptable con-

Montana, with more than 16 u mil
lion acres in national forests was dis
eliminated against because of the
''unrealistic" evaluation of the worth
of her forests, Metcalf said. "Our
forests were valued as if they were
being offered for sale. The price was
reduced because in many areas we
do not have access roads on which to
move the timber to market. So we get
less money for roads because we need
roads,.

Assistant supervisor of the Helena
National Forest, Vern Hamry, spoke
to the Helena League of Women Vot-
ers Tuesday evening, as part of the
LWV national program on resources.
Hamry explained the reason for
having the Forest Service, reminding
his listeners that great empires and
nations have disappeared because
they failed to preserve their vital re-
water. Using slides to en-
phasize his talk, Hamry outlined the
work being done by the Forest Serv-
ice to maintain watersheds, and ac-
hieve balance in the demands and
needs of such segments of the society
as ranchers, sportsmen, loggers and
tourists.

merce did so last month when they
changed the formula, in effect for
36 years, by which national forest
highway funds are apportioned among
the states.
Each year, Congress appropriates
money-in addition to that voted for
federal aid highway construction-to
build highways in states which have
national forests within their bounda-
ries. This years $50 million was di-
vided among 40 states, Alaska and
Puerto Rico for construction of high
ways within, adjoining or adjacent
to national forests. State matching is
not required.
Montana's share was $2,391,34
under a formula 500 of which was
based on acreage, 500 on 1921
evaluation of the forests within this
state.
Last month, the two federal agen-
cies changed the formula to one Of
1870 on acreage and 25 % on new
valuation. Under the new formula,
Montana will receive $2,248,368, or
$142,978 less each year than under
the previous formula.
This reduction in 'vitally needed"
highway construction funds was made
without consulting Congress or the
Governors of the affected states, ac-
cording to Metcalf, whose Washing
ton office released the delegation

An Editorial From
THE PROGRESSIVE

Out of the cackle of confu-
sion that accompanies the Sow
Eiet Sputniks whirling in outer
space come half a dozen domin-
ant themes. There are those
who plead for a czar of all the
missiles to end the pickering
among the armed forces, for
billions more for arms and a
crash program in missiles and
satellites; there are those who
argue for more respect and
greater rewards for eggheads, espec-
tally scientists, and most especially
scientists with a genius for rocketry; !;
there are those who contend for vast
ly increased appropriations for edu-
cation, especially education in science,
and there are those who speak for a
relaxation of stifling security restric-
tions and an end to the remnants of
McCarthyism All these are urged on
us in the name of catching up with
and surprising the Russians in the
dark art of push-button warfare.
But who speaks for peace?
Who in the United States sees in
the fact of intercontinental delivery
of hydrogen warheads mankind's
greatest challenge to negotiate an end
to the suicidal arms race?
Precious few-and no one at all in
authority.
Almost anyone with title in both
political parties has had his say, from
the President on down, but nobody in
authority we know about has said:
'Look, this crazy race will never stop
until we're all blown to bits-unless
we begin now to think and plan for
peace with a fraction of the thought
and energy and money we are pouring
into the making of missiles"
Who speaks for peace?
A foreigner does; Canadian. His
name is Lester Pearson. Formerly
Canada's foreign minister, he won the
Nobel Prize for Peace this year.
