this power and absorb the
loss ~ they asked.
at would appear that the Idaho
Power Co. in it's eagerness to pre-
empt the Hells Canyon stretch of the
Snake River, now finds itself drown
ing in it's own high cost power sur
plus.
''The company has :. been unable
to negotiate contract for the dis
position of this power, despite sus-
tanned pressure on the Bonneville
Power Administrations Murray and
Magnuson declared.
Idaho Power initially secured a
$3.50 million subsidy through the rap
id tax write-off program for two of
its run-of-the-river projects on the
Snake. Rural electric leaders led the
stiff opposition against the tax amor
tization program, and IPCo.'s I'M
successful efforts to kill Senate APP
proval of a high federal dam at Hells
Canyon. In an eleventh hour move to
defeat the Senate federal dam bill,
IPCo. returned it's tax rite-off-but
the bill passed.
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission has not ruled on the FPC-
approved new financing. IPCo. has
asked SEC to accelerate it's applica-
ton.
According to some economists,
IPCo.'s finances deserve study. And
it has been acknowledged that the
Brownlee project has run into con-
struction difficulties.

The Gulls of Washington

| The sea gull picks up anything
thrown him. Hence the word 'gullible
| When Truman at Fulton College was
| duped by Churchill to begin the Cold
| War against our firm ally, the Soviet
Union, the world recognized that of
all governments in history the Ameri-
can is the most easily fooled. This
newspaper, and a few liberals, have
warned in vain.
We were the first in wealth, in popu-
larity and prestige. Britain was jealous
of us. Cunning Churchill, knowing
that his country was beaten down to
inferiority, decided to nurse the seed
of our destruction; WASTE.
Chang took the cue to gouge us.
Mr.. Mansfield was on the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. We sent IS billion
in munitions and money to Chang.
He kept the money; exposed the NUM-
tlonS to Communist capture; has cost
US perhaps a billion year since.
(Save our sinking ship throw him
overboard).
Syngman Rhee saw the game was
good-got us into his private war:
100000 casualties, SIS billion, and a
beating.
Tito, lifelong Communist, pretended
to break with Moscow. So we built
Yugoslavia a $40 million steel mill
gave Tito $500 million Now he is back
in THE Communist camp.
The Kremlin early saw that it's world
power would rise as ours fell and that
e safe plan was for us to spend our
selves into bankruptcy. We took our
foreign policy actually from Moscow
mot from Jackson or Roosevelt, dem
cracy. We have spent countless billions
on air fields within $50 miles of So
Wet land. With guided missiles Russia
can probably wreck all of them in q
hours. They profited by our witch hunt.
They encouraged scientists, we dis
graced Oppenheimer and other scien-
fists while the Kremlin smiled at our
folly. We have spent billions for obso-
lete battle ships. We spend billions for
infantry which can be KILLED from the
air. Millions of loyal ladies have vainly
watched the skies of night when they
might have kept their delinquent chill
dren at home if they themselves hard
stayed there.
Now with Sputnik the Soviets have
eaten us at our own game. Macarthur
says War is unthinkable". Russia,
though leagues ahead in armament,
backed by $50 million Chinese, wants
peace and complete disarmament. Gen.
Omar Bradley says we must meet Rus
ment. (No Butte paper published this).
Sen. Kefauver, Sen. Ellender speak
lik ewise. Our Mr.. Mansfield says speed
up on the course that has brought us
from first place to such internal weak
ness that the neutral world quits us
in alarm Soon the majority in the
United Nations will be afraid to stand
by Busted" America.
There is more print in our news
papers about Russian than American
affars.-LOWNDES MAURY, Butte.

vANDALS DAMAGE
BPR EQUIPMENT

Damages around $500 were
caused to a Bureau Of Public
Roads one-half-yard shovel late
February 2 or early February 3,
according to an announcement
made today by Oliver Onkka,
local BPR engineer.
The damages done by vandals,
amounted to smashed glass in the
cab, smashed head lights, turn
signals and rear-view mirrors as
well as the sterring wheel being
beaten off. The vandalism was
discovered by the BPR work
crew Sunday morning when they
reported TO the BPR sand pit on
the Buffalo Mine road where the
shovel was parked. Because the
equipment is federal property,
the charges which will be brought
will be federal offense charges
Investigating this week have
been BPR officials, Territorial
Police and the Federal Bureau of
Information. Investigations will
continue until the case is closed,
officials said today.
The shovel was located on land

ALL CUSTOMERS
TO Benefit
FROM RATE CUTS

Matanuska Electric Association
members will soon be in a hap
pier frame of mind following the
monthly reading of the meter, ac-
cording to an article appearing
in this months issue of ''The Val
ley Cooperator" Electric rates for
] the MiEA users will take a good
sized drop if the puroposed chan
&c in rates is approved by the
Palmer City Council and the Rur-
al Electric Administration. 1t was
speculated that the new rates
may go into effect as soon as
April /.
The new rate schedule will
lower the average consumers
electric bill by some nine percent
and commercial users will get an
even better break by a IA per-
cent decrease in rates.
The announcement was made
by Phil O'Neill MEA, president
who said the excellent financial
condition" of MEA makes the rate
cut possible. Sound business
practices and good management,
not. only on an administrative le-
vel but throughout the system,
make the rate reduction pos
sible".

truckers and other persons con-
cerned that load and speed re-
strictions will be in effect on the

tons are normally in effect from
three to six weeks depending on

order that Mans NAV be made for
hauling of commodities prior to

Help Is Sought
For Refugees

WASHINGTON - The Hungar-
ian Catholic League of America
has appealed for us. assistance
for more than 5000 Hungarian
refugees who fled to Yugoslavia
after last falls revolt in their
homeland.
A delegation from the league
conferred for two days with Of
ficials of the State Department,
the immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service, and with several
members of Congress. They asked
for emergency relief of immigra-
ton rules to allow the Hungar-
ians to escape the "sad conditions
under which they live" in COM
munist Yugoslavia.
1T is an emergency, after
ALL" said Mssr. John 5. ssbo,
president Of the league and
leader Of the delegation. "Yvso-
slavia Is still communist
country. There's no use kidding
ourselves about THAT"
Aside from their poor living
condition, the delegation members
said, they feared that the COM
munist dominated Hungarian gov
eminent might offer the refugees
amnesty" to return to Hungary,
a situation which might put them
in greater danger.
Of the more than 5000 refugees
the league is concerned with, only
316 could enter the us. as "close
relatives" of American citizens.
Another $500 would be able to
come with the assurances of
friends and relatives If they were
permitted to enter.
The delegations report pointed
out that go per cent of the refu-
gees are Catholics. ALI the rest
are protestants, except for 80
Jews and Is who claimed no relig-
ious faith.

Assumption University, Windsor,
Ont, led a three-day course on
the Family and Social Conscious
at Granville here.
Father csrysy said there was
q reed to distinguish between
direct, apostolic action In the
spiritual order and the "indi-
rect sposfoisfe" Of action in the
temporal order. He said that
"for almost 70 years the PoPss
have been urging isyrnsn 10 90
TO fhs temporal order"
This is the great work Of lay
men in the present time, but to
be willing to undertake the work,
they must see the works value in
itself and its value indirectly
for the spiritual welfare Of man."
he said.
Thus, labor unions, Political
organizations, and cultural or
sanizafions Of every sort are
necessary in order to enable in
dividvals TO practice individual
justice and TO develop various
human and cultural activities"
Deploring the "atomized 50.
ciety of the present day, Fa'
ther Carney declared that "any
Catholic family with energy and
good will' could make a begin
ming of creating a community
around it. But the family must
be sure first of all to overcome
the spirit of avarice, of selfish
ness and of isolation, he said.
The family must be Christian,
he went on, showing a love of
neighbor, of society and of the
Church's teachings.
1t is the particular duty of Ca.
tholic fathers, the priest said, to
"initiate contacts" in their own
community. IF his neighbor is
a Protestant, a Jew, or someone
of a different race with whom he
has no natural contact, then he
must create the contact" Father
Garcey said. "In the non.C Catholic
group, the Catholic must serve
as a leaven.

Picks Appropriate
Name for New Parish

DAYTON, Father Edwin
Aufderheide, who is organizing
a new parish at Vandalia, just
north of here, believes he has
chosen an appropriate name for
it.
Located near the intersection
of busy us. Routes 40 and "a
and the Dayton Municipal Air
port, the church will be named
for st. Christopher, patron of
travellers.
