Murray Challenges seutOn's
Statements On YeNowfni Dam

Secretary of Interior Seaton's state

construction will probably be delayed
because of the Crow Indians lawsuit
to obtain additional compensation be-
yond the $2.5 million already re-
ceived, drew a sharp retort from SEN
ator James E. Murray, Tuesday of
this week.
Murray wired Seaton that he is
amazed at your statement reported
in Montana newspapers" about the
alleged delay the Crows suit might
bring about.
"You know" Murray told Seaton,
''that under Public Law 523 signed
July 15, 1858, the U. S. received clear
title to the necessary land. You know
that construction of public works
would come to a virtual standstill if
it awaited settlement of all lawsuits.
"Pre-construction work would be
underway now," Murray reminded
the Interior official, "had the Ad-

gressional delegation in seeking an

"Your statement that construc-

OTHER TOPICS SCHEDULED
In addition to the above, several
other important subjects will be ex-
plored at this years institute. Part
of these will be panel discussions, part
will be led by authorities in each field
whose names will be announced later.
These include:
So-called Fright to work. legis-
lation, what and who are behind the
nationwide drives to legislate COM
pulsory open shops, and overall eco
nomic and social implications of such
legislation once enacted and enforced.
Taxation, federal and state, with
emphasis on the latter and how we
here in Montana can meet increasing
governmental costs through a tax
program which places major emphasis
on equity and fairness.
Public power and resource de-
is another panel which
will draw forth wide discussion partic-
ipation by those attending the insti-
tute, particularly in view of the gen.
orally depressed economic condition
of much of western Montana, and how
that region can have long-term eco
nomic stability and prosperity de-
veloped if the go-ahead is once given
to exploiting the enormous water re-
sources of that area.
A fourth panel will concern itself
The people's voice., 1958-10-24

with the recurring problems of unem-
ployment. This panels in many ways,
is a companion panel to the one on
resource development. In view of
Montana having led the nation in
percentage of work-force unemployed
last winter, it is expected that there
will also be much audience participa-
tion in this panel.

Referring to Appointed Justice
Wesley Castles ads which would
lead voters to believe that he,
Castles, is the only top bench occu-

the American Law Review the last

addition to Castles three opinions,
IA others have been published in
AIR in that period of time. These
included opinions by the late JUS
tices Choate and Freebourn, and
several opinions by the three
elected judges now serving on the
court-Justices Adair, Angstman

pointed out that when he was on
the court (1947-53) he had three

WHY COUNTRY SHOULD BE
PLACED IN DEMO HANDS

With Eisenhower, as with Aronson,
Metcalf said there is an exhibition of
'lack of ideas, lack of foresight
and lack of initiative to do the job
the nation and Montana needs to have
done.
He then recounted how the last
Democratic Congress had passed much
worthwhile legislation in addition to
giving to the President in modified
form his three main objectives-1
defense reorganization, 2. foreign aid
continuation, and 3. reciprocal trade
continuation.
Much of the important legislation
passed by the Congress, such as So
cial security improvement and ex-
tended unemployment compensation,
was opposed by the President, Met
calf said. In some instances, such as
depressed areas legislation and ade-
quate farm legislation, Administra-
tion opposition was so strong, the
President used his veto.

it's platform position in support of
Referendum 81, six-mill levy. and

Lemire, who has long shown an ac-
tive interest in education, commented
that the record of the Democratic
legislators is one that can be pointed
to with pride. Most especially, he re-
ferred to the school lunch program
and the school milk program, and
the federal aid to impacted areas
which has increased the benefits to
Indian students and students living
near federal installations.
All these additional gains can be
traced to the efforts of the Montana
delegation supported by
their colleagues on Capitol Hill in

Fish Trap Fails:

Two days later, company officials

Oregon's game commissioner, p.

At its October meeting the Del
aware Interstate Highway Divi-
sion announced that fares would be
cut again on January 1, 1853 if
approval could be secured from the
consulting engineers. That APPROX
al evidently has not been fOrthcOm-
ing and observers believed yester-
day that this would be delayed un-
til more concrete negotiations with
New Jersey are carried on. The
bridge tolls were reduced by about
30% On June /, 1858.
Delaware and New Jersey must
go before the Congress of the UNI
ted States to secure permission to
make changes on toll collections.
The present indenture allows col
lections until such time as bonds
are paid, then the span must be-

More than two years ago Del

permission from Congress to ref

ments, build limited access high
ways with accrued funds and save
for the day when a second cross

said there would be such a need in
ten years.
New Jersey would not acq iesce
to this request and negotiatl 7ns

time, since joint agreement is

It has been cply in recent months
that Governor Meyner and Cover
nor Boggs began discussions on
their level. The appointment of the
two conferee groups resulted from
these talks.
Governor Meyner was frank to
tell the press that he would
like to see the bridge bonds paid
off in the least possible time. How
ever, he indicated that he realized
Delaware's concern over mainten-
ance costs once the span is free.
He said that ne believed the entire
broad picture of the future trans
portation and economic develop
ment of the two states on the river
and bay could be prof1tably advan-
ced through bi-state action, and to
this Governor Boggs agreed. How
ever, no one would say what def
mite form this bi-state action might
take.
Governor Meyner was also asked
if Cape May-Lewes ferry had en-
tered the discussion. He answered
negatively, but said that since fer
i.ies are mode of transportation,
this subject could quite possibly
come up for future discussion.
Gov Meyner was nearly an hour
late in arriving at New Castle
