Wild Duck This Time
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


One Of the wonderful
things abent writing q CO.
lumn IS the social recogni-
ton that goes with It.
The Rambler Is asked
everywhere - diplomatic re-
ceptions, corporation cock
tail parties. wine-tasting
tests and gourmet dinners.
And he always goes when
asked.
So when Johnny Simpson.
who has Just got his money
out of Wakefield Dairy, ow-
ing to its recent sale. asked
him to attend q wild duck
luncheon at 1890 Saturday
in the Roma Restaurant. he
accepted with anticipation.
The Rambler showed up at
1890. He found a table set
for 80 and the chairman Of
the committee on arrange
ments mot Johnny who said,
Now don't write that I'm
giving this party. I'd lose
too many friends. We can
only ask a guest apiece.
That's right. This lunch
con begins at 1880. but that
means the opening Of the
bar. We don't sit down until
2:S0.
This is not q club; it's just
an informal party that has
grown through the years
from a small start.
Tom Hulfish. who is in
the small loans business at
Mount Rainier, is our
hunter. He goes twice a week
through the season."

Senate to Review Policy in Mid-East In Last II Years

WASHINGTON, RE The Sen ate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees voted unan- imously. Tuesday to conduct a complete review of US. foreign policy in the Middle East over the last II years.
 The vote was 30 to 0.
 The White House and State De- partment were said to have no objection to the inquiry.
 The action apparently cleared the way for ultimate Senate adoption of a resolution giving President Eisenhower authority to use US. forces to combat any Communist aggression in the Middle East. The Eisenhower res olution would also authorize $2OO million of aid to Mid-East nations.
 After the vote by the Senate committees, Sen. Green read a letter rom secretary Of State Dulles, setting up certain condi- tions under which confidential documents would be made avail able to the senators.
 Dulles wrote it was his under standing that in it's review of documents the committee will not seek to breach the confidence of other friendly governments. Several members of the two committees said they wanted clarification of what that meant. But it was generally agreed the committee would not be bound by Dulles language.

American Fishermen Got Record Catch in 1856

WASHINGTON, RHAmerican commercial fishermen had a rec ord catch of 100000 pounds during 1856, the Fish and Wild life Service said Monday.
 The total included 2,O58,OOO,OOO pounds of menhaden, the first two billion pound catch of any one variety in a year by Ameri- can fishermen. Menhaden is abundant along the Atlantic coast, is used for bait or convert ed into oil or fertilizer.
 The catch of food fish ran to only 2,8O0,OOO,OOO pounds and was 40O,OOO,OOO below the aver age for 1947-50.
 With. population increase since 1850 of about 20 million persons and a fairly constant rate of consumption of 10 to II pounds edible weight per capita, the ser vice said large imports have been required to meet the demand.
 Imports supplied about 35 per cent of the domestic supply of edible fishery products last year, compared with an average of 21 percent from 1947 to 1850.

 Seaton declared: "You will be waiting until tomorrow, or per haps scores of tomorrows unless you take what you can possibly get in this Congress-"
 Seaton said he has learned a great deal on his visit to Alaska which he did not get from "the cold black and white data in Washington" He said he has been especially impressed with the kind of people who live in the territory and the large percentage of young people and children.
 He told the gathering: "This is the land of tomorrow, and could very easily be the land of today"

Soviet Union Expels Two US. Military
 Attaches From Moscow

LONDON R-The Soviet Union today ordered the expulsion of Maj. Hubert Tansley and Capt. Charles Stockell, assistant US. military attaches in Moscow.
 In the past three weeks two Russians, one of them an assistant military attache, have been ex- pelled from the United States.
 A Moscow broadcast said a Russian note handed to US. Am bassador Bohlen said the two men were engaged in activities incompatible with their status as accredited diplomatic officials and that their further stay in the U.S.S.R. was therefore undesir- able.'

Seaton Says Alaskans Had Better Accept Administrations Plan for Statehood or Give Up Hopes

FAIRBANKS Rl-Alashans had better make up their minds now to accept the Eisenhower Admin istration's forthcoming statehood bill or give up hopes of obtaining statehood in this session of Con- gress. That's the word brought here by Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton.
 In an address before a meeting of business and civic leaders at the University of Alaska Monday, Seaton urged Alaskans to back the Administrations bill even tho they may not find it entirely palatable."
 Seaton recalled the President has said he supports statehood for Alaska providing certain de- fense requirements have been met. It is generally believed in Alaska this means military reser- vations will be set apart from the State of Alaska.
 "I am not saying that you are going to have partition, ,'>Seaton said. Then he added, "You may

pointed to investigate the printing
and circulation of HB 224 in such
form as to make it appear as a Bill to
be regularly considered by Whole
House of Representatives and to
make it appear, that same was an
official Bill before the House of Rep
resentatives.
We have interviewed thirteen wit
nesses and heard Wellington d. Ran
kin and Arthur P. Archer, attorneys
for George Bennett and Russell Ben
nett. the owners and operators of the
State Publishing Company and from
such evidence, we concur in the fol
lowing findings:
1. That House Bill 224, according
to testimony Of the sponsors, was
introduced by Representative Frank,
Holecek, Langston and Reeder by re-
quest of citizen voters and taxpayers,
although the bill does not show such
request. That said Bill, when consid-
cred by Ways and Means Committee
of the House, was killed by ''Do Not
Pass" motion by one of the authors,
which committee report was adopted
by the House.
2. That said Bill was never, by the
House, ordered printed or placed on
General Orders for consideration of
the House.
3. That House Bill 224 was printed
in regular form as required in an
official bill and was widely circulated
in every county of the authors resi-
dence under a Third Class Mailing
Permit No. 60, Butte, Montana.
4. From evidence adduced, it was
found that 5000 copies of such Bills
were printed by the State Publishing
Company. the firm authorized by
State contract to print legislative
bills. That such Bills were printed in
type. style and form to make them
appear as official Bills and that such
Bills were ordered printed for the
Butte Daily Post.
5. That subpoenas were issued for
George Bennett and Russell Bennett,
owners of the State Publishing Com
pany. and the Sergeant at Arms was
unable to find them and they were
reported to have left the City of
Helena about the time this committee
was appointed and that their attor-
ney, Wellington D. Rankin, advises

compensation bill with waivers in il
would be no bill at all.
Later on, however, when the bill
came up for Senate consideration, it
was none other than Sen. Nutter who
proposed the weakening amendments
which brought the bill more closely
into line with the desires of the Com
pany lobby. Nutter's justification
for inserting a waiver clause and for
other changes to water down the bill
was that he couldn't get the measure
through the Republican Senate if
waiver provisions, in particular, were
not amended into SD 213.
AS result of the Nutter amend
ments, SB 213 as approved by the
Senate, instead of being an occupa-
tional disease compensation bill,
had, in reality become a measure
to forever bar victims of Silicosis
from ensation-i.e.-to make
permanent the present method of
assisting Silicotics via Public We'll
fare payments.
In the House SD 213 was amended
substantially, and, as it left that
body, was a reasonably good COM
pensation proposal. The Senate re-
fused to accept House amendments
and conference committee was set
up.
Senate-House conferees, after sew
eral days af haggling, came up with
a so-called "middle-of-the-road pro-
posal'. Sen. Nutter condemned the
House for having inserted all the
radical proposals" put forth by la
Dor land which were incorporated
in similar House bills which received
the axe in the Senate.)
The interesting thing in this con-
nection is that SD 213, after having
been amended in conference to more
nearly conform with House bills killed
by the Senate, was actually a weaker
compensation proposal than when it
was first introduced by Nutter, Hibbs

the first woman member to speak be-
fore an annual convention of the Ma

The annual convention of NRECA,

Legislative Minute Men and the

Anna went to the Chicago conven-

euisuture ACCOMPLISHED Precious Little of Importance

Finally, the complete lack of any
kind of leadership on the part of the
Governor was another important rea-
son for the lack of accomplishment by
the 35th Legislative Assembly.
In the House, for all of the large
Democratic majority, matters got out
of hand on couple of occasions. Had
it not been for rank-and-file Demo
legislators insistence that frequent
caucuses be held, a similar sordid
story to that recorded in the Sen
ate might have come about. The last
third Of the session, however, saw
the House Demos working as one on
all except a couple of measures. Re-
suit was that the House did acquit
itself in a reasonably satisfactory
manner.
TAXES
The House did face squarely the
issue of more money having to be
raised to operate government, and
they provided the revenue measures
to raise the money. There is ground,

rejection of proposals to close loop
holes in the corporation license tax
law whereby the State is losing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Ex-
cuses given by the Ways and Means
committee that such proposals were
poorly drawn, unavoidable" ETC.,
do not excuse them. They admitted
the existence of major loopholes for
evading the license tax. 1t thus be-
came their responsibility to provide
the legislative machinery to close
those loopholes.
While not tax measure, re-enact-
ment of the Property Redistribution
Act to meet the objections of the Su-
preme Court, was probably the most
important act of the 1857 Legisla-
ture, since it paves the way for even
tual statewide equalization of the tax
burden, based on the earning ability
of property, whatever kind.

SB 213, as originally drafted by
Sens. Nutter, Hibbs and Walton, was
bill that labor felt it could live with
once a few minor amendments were
made-which, when proposed, were
agreeable to large degree to the spon-
sors. Original SD 213 was without any
provision for waivers of future rights
to compensation by occupationally
diseased workers. Sen. Hibbs, shortly
after Introduction of the bill, told
the press that an occupational disease
