eff the President has his way,
we will have dollar and a quarter
wheat in 1859, and that price,
with the Debated dollar and high
farm costs of today, would mean
immediate bankruptcy for many
Montana farmers and eventual
bankruptcy for all.
"In yet another field, the President
not only discriminates against the
West, but, in my opinion, weakens our
national defense. The cold war is not
short term affair. Our total indus
trial strength is what will win. 1t
was the IVA area of the South and
the Bonneville area of the Northwest
that provided the power for the A
Bomb, and for the construction of
planes, and much of the material that
won the last war.
CONSTRUCTION of hydro electric
dams on the Columbia, the Missouri
and the other great rivers of the West
would add to our industrial might
and would do much to build for a
lasting prosperity. But in spite of
these obvious facts, the President in
his message opposes any new starts
on these essential power and reclama-
ton projects. Nothing demonstrates
more fully his lack of sympathy with
the needs of the west than the Presi-
dents attitude toward development
of the Vests natural resources
through the construction of multi
purpose projects on our great rivers.
''This swing of the Northwest into
the Democratic column in the last
election shows that the people of the
region know the Republican party is
not on their side. That shift to the
Democratic party is accelerating ev-
cry day and l am convinced that the
Democratic margin of victory in the
Northwest will be even greater this
year." he concluded.

Bill Introduced
To Peg Wheat
AT So q BUsheI

GREAT FALLS-A bill to pes
1858 wheat support at So per bushe
was introduced yesterday by Senator
James E. Murray, according to tele
gram from Murray to Leonard Ken
field, president of Montana Farmers
Union. The senator said Reprs. Lee
Metcalf and Leroy Anderson will
sponsor the bill on the House side.
Murray's wire was in answer to a
message from Kenfield urging Strong
opposition to the Eisenhower Admin
istration's drive to destroy farm price
supports" and calling for immediate
action by Congress to restore cuts in
grain and dairy price supports"
The same message went to Senator
Mike Mansfield, who replied: Gam
in whole-hearted accord with your
views and will do all l possibly can
to see that your recommendations are
carried out Rest assured of my
full support"
The MFU president said in his tele-
gram to the two senators that at
is urgent that Congress prevent %
cents-a-bushel cut in wheat prices
ordered by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture on the 1858 crop.
wheat farmers" Kenfield re-
called, "have co-operated in every
program to control production and
have suffered a 37-cents-abushel
cut in wheat prices since 1854.
They face another cut of 22 cents
bushel this year.
"For Montana farm families this
action by the Administrator will
mean a loss of SIT million or more
on a normal crop. Dairy farmers are
in similar jeopardy" Kenfield said.
Commenting on the Administra
TONS farm recommendations to Con-
gress, Kenfield said eff it were not
for farm price supports, inadequate
as they are, more small farmers would
have been driven from the land long
ago. Anyone should be able to see
that $500 wheat is better than $1.00
wheat, even for a small farmer.
Nevertheless, five years of price
policies are taking their
toll not only on the farms but are
having a demoralizing chain reaction
on business and employment in Mon
tana. We are asking Congress to halt
Bensonism and restore the price level
already cut, and improve the farm
laws"

hlgner rentals on SCaCe-OWneu agrl-
cultural and grazing lands also came
in for committee attention.
Discussion centering on the Fish
& Game and Highway Departments
took several forms. One item brought
out is that so per cent of all State
revenues are earmarked for either
of the above departments, or for the
schools and some other divisions of
government.
The use of such earmarked funds
by both Fish & Game and Highway
in a manner considered "loose" by
some commission members brought
forth suggestion by Sen. Charles
(R-Garfield) that the Leg
islature should begin exercising more
care in determining how funds of the
two departments are spent. The new
addition to the highway building,
referred to in commission discussions
as "monstrosity that clashes with

some irrigation districts. For ex-
ample, one irrigation district stu
ated in Treasure and Rosebud coun-
ties, and having an acreage of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 acres would
lose 400 acres to the new high
way unless its location is re-
vised. Commission members believed
that such loss would work a distinct
hardship on the districts ability to
pay off construction charges since
it's feasibility had been based on
original acreage total to be irrigated
in the district.
Concerning reports that the
buck" was being passed to the
Bureau of Public Roads over re-
locating the interstate highway 10
higher ground, Mahoney ventured
the opinion that eff the Governor
of Montana would put his foot
down on where these roads go. the
BPR will back up -
Mahoney also contended that from
all view points it would have been
far more sensible had the interstate
highway been located through CEN
trail instead of southern Montana,
citing the less valuable aspects of dry
land farming as compared with irri-
gated tracts; less costly urban right
of-way acquisitions, and less him
drance to through" traffic because
of the lack of large population con-
centrations in the central Montana
area.

year; improved holiday ScheduleS this
year; improved vacations in 1859 and
1860, and establishment and nipple
menting of a pension program in
1859 and 1860.
In adopting the program, the con-
vention authorized the LSW Western
Council to prepare health, welfare
and pension plans which would be
employer-paid and would be handled
through an industry-participating
fund.
The convention also authorized the
taking of strike vote and, if the
vote carries, to empower the Western
Council executive committee to Sin
stitute strikes at their discretion" if
negotiations fail to proceed satisfac-
torily.
$4,000 UNEMPLOYED
Earl X. Hartley, Portland, execu-
tive secretary of the LSW Western
Council, in reviewing the current
job-price situation in the numbering
industry, told the convention the
councils records show at least Ia 1000
members now unemployed. The ply
wood industry, he said, is hardest hit,
primarily because of the importation
of 700 million board feet of plywood
each year from Japan. This plywood

TAXING MONTANA INCOME
OF OUT-OF-STATERS

How best to effectively collect in
come taxes due on Montana-earned
income of out-of-state people was an
other much-thrashed topic on the
agenda at this weeks TIE meeting.
A survey made during the last Legis-
lature showed that income taxes were
being collected on less than Is
per cent of all such Montana-earned

of Jobs he estimated. The lower costs
involved in making this plywood are
not being passed on to consumers, he
added.
| Fir and pine divisions are the Sec
ond hardest hit of the industry, he
said. This he attributed to the Eisen-
hover Administrator tight mon
ey'' policy which has slowed down
BODYBUILDING and other construction
very substantially.
Hartley. however, looks for an up
surge in demand for wood products by
the middle of the summer, noting that
strong forces are at work to force the
Administration to take effective steps
to end the recession. "Tight money"
he said has not hit the lumber indus
try alone, but has depressed the home
appliance industry, and all others in
volved in the manufacturing and
transporting of materials used in
building and outfitting homes. All
these industries are now beginning
to demand immediate relaxation of
credit.
AS to the need for substantial
wage increases this year, Hartley
reminded delegates they'd gone
without an increase in 1857, and
said, to hold even with the rise in
the cost of living the past year
they'd have to have pay raises
averaging Is cents an hour.
LABOR HAS POLITICAL
ACTION JOB TO DO
c. Al Green, San Francisco, as
sistant regional director of AFL-CIO
Committee on Political Education,
told delegates they had very i'm
portant political action job to do at
all levels of government. He said
"we're being set up for national
law and a national
sales tax Labor must fight for
who are their friends.
Green noted that in addition to Is

the design of all other buildings on
the Capitol grounds, was cited as a
"glaring example, of wasteful spend
ing of highway funds.
Fish & Game received considerable
criticism of the "high-handed meth
DDS" they use in spending millions
of dollars in license fees collected
primarily for improving and preserv-
ing the States game resource.
In view of the State general
funds worsening condition, there
is a definite possibility that one
or more TIE commission members
will seek legislation in 1859 to
place in the general fund from 10
to rs per cent of all Fish e. Game
receipts.
In discussing the possibility of plac-
ing part of Figs revenues in the
general fund the state constitution
was referred to and the provision
therein that the Legislature has sole
authority to appropriate all moneys
accruing to the State.

INTERSTATE HIGHWAY
PROGRAM DRAWS FIRE

The arbitrary attitude" of the
Highway Commission and the Bureau
of Public Roads in locating the inter-
state highway system without regard
to the wishes or opinions of people
along the system, drew prolonged
criticism from various commission
members. 1t was pointed out that
while the public, under the highway
system enabling act is supposed to be
consulted as to locating the 3O0-foot-
wide interstate system to cause the
least damage, such consultation has
been rare.
The 300-foot right-of-way, it was
emphasized, amounts to upwards of
40 acres of land per mile. With High
way and the BPR planning to run
the interstate highway in valley bot
toms the loss of irrigated agricultural
land will be almost catastrophe to

to use the observation areas.
1t is impractical to fence the
entire waterfront because of the
rugged terrain, park officials
said.
Mr.. Watt said there have
been four drownings at the park
in the last two years. One Of
them was ruled a suicide.

GreenbeIt
Park Work
Will Begin

Work will begin soon on
development of Greenbelt Park
in Prince Georges County, Rep
resentative Landlord, Demo-
crat Of Maryland, announced
today.
Representative Landlord said
he has been notified by Conrad
Wirth. director Of the National
Park Service, that a work crew
will be in the area within the
next two weeks to begin clean
ing it.
Development Of the LOO
acre tract for recreational pur-
poses would provide the sub
urban Maryland area with its
largest facility.
Representative Landlord said
the park service will begin de-
velopment Of the park during
the next fiscal year. Officials
plan to complete the develop
ment in 1861.
The program calls for road
system through the area on
both sides Of the Baltimore
Washington parkway east of
College Park, a golf course and
facilities for camping and ma
ture study.
The land was bought by the
Interior Department in 1850
for park purposes.
Representative Landlord has
pressed during the last three
years for development of the
land. He introduced a bill in
this session of Congress which
would have required the de-
partment to spend UP. to $685.
900 for the development.
County officials had feared
that the land would be de-
clared surplus by the Govern
ment If not used.
