High Court Isn't Aiding Communists

of course growled that the leading urist of the
United States must at very least, be Communist SYM
pathzers to have reached that trio of conclusions
They now clearly represent only tiny minority
That they have been little needed reveals
than many would have imagined just few days ago,
how deeply the American people concerned dur
ing those years when the restraining rens of justice
slipped
Most of all the calm approval with which the nation
has, in general, received those Supreme Court rulings
tells us how much understanding have now
reached of the real nature and of the greatest DANGER
of communism. The fercest demagogues who claimed
to be Red hunters, have learned were in spirit,
running with the Red pack.
The greatest evil of dictatorship is that it may
confiscate, and mismanage, private industries 1t is
that under tyranny, the rights of the individual
are submerged the fears and to the unlimited
powers of the state.
Thoughtful Americans know what Mccarthy

Court rules it has ruled it is giving aid COM

Who's Inefficient?
Benson's Beefs About
Farmers Backfire

Rep. George McGovern (D-S. d.
has culled some figures from a recent
USDA report which indicates that
Secretary of Agriculture Benson, who
has been doing considerable scream
ing about the inefficiency of U. S.
farmers, is himself guilty of gross
inefficiency.
During the 10-month period ending
April 80, according to the figures
compiled by Benson's own USDA, the
USDA compiled loss of 81 billion
the largest loss for any similar period
in history.

NOre. all CeSCI1oQ against huyKen-
dali. The sum of their objections to
the FPC chairman's reappointment is
the record Kuykendall has made at
FPC during the past four years.
NRECA General Manager Clyde T.
Ellis and other organized consumer
groups also appeared in opposition
to Kuykendall before the Senate Com
mittee which must approve President
Eisenhower's reappointment of Kuy-
kendall.
The committee hearings contained
an unusual element. in that the chair
man of the committee, Sen. Warren
Magnuson wash is a former law
school classmate of Kuykendall's at
the University of Washington. 1t is
unusual for a presidential appointee
to be rejected by the Senate; however,
there is considerable opposition build
ing up against Kuykendall.
Kuykendall, himself, apparently is
concerned over the opposition and
has personally sat throughout the
hearings listening to witnesses con-
demn him.
Rural electric leaders purchase
about $3.50 million worth of electric
ity annually. Two-thirds of the power
is purchased from power companies,
nearly 1000 Of whom are under FPC
regulation.
Ellis declared, eve feel Mr.. Kuy-
kendall, in his four years as chair
man of the Federal Power Commits
sion, has clearly demonstrated his
lack of sympathy" with the con-
gressional intent of the Federal
Power Act.
He said, "Kuykendall has inter
preted the law in such way as to
favor the drive of privately-owned |

Status of Forces Treaty with Japan
Our right to have troops in Japan
is a continuation of our military occu-
patton under the treaty which ended
World War II.
We are in Japan as conquerors.
And there is no question but that we
have the right to try an American
soldier for an offense committed
whether he was on duty or not.
However, in 1858, President Eisen-
hover signed a memorandum, not
submitted to Congress for ratifica-
ton. declaring that in certain cases
Japan would relinquish jurisdiction
over certain offenses to the United
States. so the accused could be tried
by court-martial, and that in other
cases. the U. S. could relinquish juris-
diction to Japan.
In the interests of friendly rela-
tions between the two countries, Sec
retary of State Dulles and Defense
Secretary Wilson, with the approval
Of President Eisenhower, ordered
Girard turned over to the Japanese
for trial. Judge McGarraghy says this
violates Girard's constitutional rights,
hat he is entitled to be tried by court
martial.
This is a question of the constitu-
;ional rights of an individual, and of
lis natural reluctance to be a sacri-
ice on the altar of better information

placed full responsibility for the sur

battlefield, proposed last week to geld
the House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Here's how he explained his bill
which would restrict the jurisdiction
of the committee:
'I'm westerner, and in the early
days in Montana the big cattle spreads
staked out their claims to ranges. If
an outfit staked out, let US say, Will
low Greek and the range land within
grazing distance of it, he was in busi-
ness, and his claim was generally re-
spected
''If on the other hand he laid claim
to 10000 square miles or to all the
grass between the Rockies and the
Little Snowies, and from Cascade to
Canada, then his claim was so big, so
broad, so general that he'd end up
with a firm claim on nothing.
"The Un-American Activities Com
mittee, by stalking out the whole coun-
tryside, has much less in hand than
if they staked out clear claim to
legitimate area of investigation re-
lated to its legislative responsibility,
and appropriate to the time and cir
cumstnces of the investigation"
VA LOAN AMENDMENT
Last week Senator Murray pro-
posed an amendment to the housing
bill to raise the maximum amount of
direct housing loans for veterans from
$4,000 to $12,500 and to extend the
direct loan program for veterans.
He also placed in the Congressional
Record the lead article in the last
Montana Farmer-Stockman which
tells of the success of Montana rural
telephone co-operatives.
Government loans to REA cleo
trio and phone cooperative borrowers
are among the soundest investments
which the United States has ever
made," he said. "These loans are MAX
ing possible wonderful moderniza-
ton of rural America (and) are

Congress, he said, will not buy Ad-
proposals to raise the
rates on REA loans.

House approval is yet to be obtained.
The Senate approved the bill to
establish a National Outdoor Recrea-
tion Resource Review Commission
This bill was cosponsored by Senator
Murray and Congressman Metcalf.
A Senate Interior subcommittee re-
ported favorably on the Montanans'
bill to suspend and modify applica-
tion of excess land provisions of the
federal reclamation laws to lands in
the Each Bench unit near Dillon.
Senator Murray conducted hearings
on the bill Thursday. Witnesses sup
porting it were Senator Mansfield,
DeMar Taylor, president of the Clark
Canyon Water Supply Company at
Dillon, and E. w. Rising, representing
the Montana Water Conservation
Board.
The subcommittee agreed to two
amendments proposed by the Bureau
of Reclamation. Prospects, said Tay-
lor. are for "a water supply not alone
for the acreage now under cultiva-
ton (25,8OO acres) but for approx
mately 21,300 acres additional fine
bench lands that can also be brought

ROAD WORK
A number of Montana roads moved
along on that bumpy trail from dream
to reality.
The delegation was notified that
bids will be opened July 3 for con-
of the 21.5 mile, 100000
plus Chalk Butte road near Cut Bank.
The engineers say it will take about
240 days to complete the road. Now
the congressional delegation is going
after money to build the remaining
or so miles of road.
Montana's State Highway Engineer,
Fred Quinnell, Jr., promised the dele
cation his departments cooperation
'in every way possible to satisfy the |
desires of (Carbon) county and Griz-
zly Peak, Inc" in building an access
road to the proposed Grizzly Peak
Winter Sports Area near Red Lodge.
Carbon County has asked for inclu-
ZION of the road in its secondary sys-
EN-, with the proviso that the county's
priority schedule remain as previous
y established unless funds for con-
truction of the road come from
'ther than the state or county.

revenues of the public companies
also grew faster than the private

In one measurement-installed ca
pacity-the private companies ex-
panded at a slightly faster rate.
52.s PER CENT GROWTH
Local public systems, the FPC study
shows, have grown 52.8 per cent in
the last decade. Their customers have
increased from 2,685,000 in 1916 to
100000 in 1866. Private companies
in the same period had a 419 per
cent increase in numbers of customers
served.
In XVIII sales, the public systems
have experienced an increase of 1896
per cent since 1916, while private
companies have increased their XVIII
sales by 126 per cent. Operating reve-
nues of the public companies in
creased 128.03 per cent, while those
OF private companies increased by
1852 per cent.
In percentage of installed new ca
pacity, the private companies led,
117.8 per cent to 97.27 per cent for
the public companies.
Figures on electric bills for cities
OF $4,000 or more show that lowest
bills in all categories are in those
cities served by municipal electric
systems.

that the proposed delivery of Army

Girard of his constitutional rights.

suggest that the Status of Forces

case as an example of the injustices
that can occur.

Fox Tail Makes
Fine Souvenir If
Fox Doesn't Object

Bill Derey, who operates a dairy
farm on the old plank road in
Cumberland county, found out
Wednesday that a fox can be a
pretty willy character.
Derey said that two of his fox
hounds had been chasing fox a
long time Wednesday morning
He was out with his cows put
ting down some hay when the old
red fox ran through the herd of
cows trying to make the hounds
lose the scent.
Derry took a stab at the fox with
his pitchfolk, and Just did miss
the slippery animal. The fox was
so surprised that it ran smack
into a wire fence and got tangled
up.
Derey, in hot pursuit. closed in
on the fox and grabbed him by
the long busy tail Shaking free
from the fence, the fox objected
to having his tail held and turn
ed tsFsnap vicieusly at Derey. Be
lieving discretion the better part
of valor, he turned the fox tail
loose and had a grandstand seat
as his dogs took up the chase and
ran the fox down the meadow
and over the hill.
That's the end Of this tale, but
the fox kept his.
