Reports To You From
The Nations Capitol

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Followine
week spent in Montana during the
congressional Easter recess, | re-
turned to Washington and immedi-
ately plunged into a whirl of commit
tee activity on legislation to relieve
unemployment. First meeting of my
Committee on Banking and Currency
scheduled former President Truman
as witness Monday morning, prior
to the reconvening of Congress at
IL noon.
Excise Taxes-I am favoring the
reduction or elimination of number
of excise taxes, particularly in the
field of transportation. These taxes
were arranged for wartime condi-
tlons, and were specifically aimed in
large part at reducing non-essential
freight shipments and passenger trav-
ell. They have placed an added burden
on Montana's shippers, long troubled
by high freight rates. They have
placed to 10 per cent overburden
on the various carriers who also face
difficulties in maintaining operating
costs. believe that sharp cut in
excise taxes will do immediate good
and will give our ailing transportation
industry, as we'll as our Montana ship
pers, real economic boost.
Battle Shaping-Cutlook for Con-
gress is the possibility of sharpening
conflict with the Administrator over
policies aimed at fighting the depres-
sion. With the Presidential veto of
freeze on farm price supports, |
along with similar possibilities for |
other major bills already passed by
Congress, tension is heightening be-
,ween the legislative and the execu-
i've branches of our government. Real |
action is not expected until later this
week or early next week. Monday
marked the opening of the baseball
season, and as is usual here in the
Cast, most everyone turns out for
he event. Tuesday was election day
n New Jersey so no congressional vot-
ng took place. Whether any effort
will be made to override Presidential
etoes will largely be determined by

WASHINGTON NOTEBOOK


Montanans in Congress have ad
vised Governor Aronson that the nev
highway bill gives our State "an ex
cellent opportunity to Immediately
accelerate road construction with in
creased federal assistance"
Under the bill recently passed, they
wrote, Montana can start now on g
SO million "ABC" (primary-second-
ary-urban federal aid) road program
with as little as 81 million of state
matching money.
"This should enable you to take
immediate steps to improve such roads
as the McLeod-South Road in the
Boulder River area and the Grizzly
Peak road in Carbon county," Sena-
tor Murray, Senator Mansfield and
Congressman Anderson told Aron-
son.
Some $12 million federal-aid funds
for Montana have yet to be pro-
grammed and another $13.7 million
will become available for the year
beginning next July 1. Since up to
1919 of this money may be spent
by the states, without matching, to
eliminate railroad hazards, the Mon
tanans advised the Governor he could
so allocate up to $2.5 million, "there-
by reducing the need to match fed
eral funds"
They also told the Governor that
the new bill increases by $400, 1000
to $2.6 million-the Forest Highway
available to Montana, without
for building roads in and
near national forests.
In addition, they wrote, it may be
possible to transfer 100000 from
regular federal-aid funds, which must
be matched by the state, to Forest
where matching is not
required.
Montana's share in the big bill dates
back to hearings in Missoula last |
winter. Congressman Metcalf, speak
ng for the congressional delegation,
oined business, labor and community
eaders in urging Montana's needs on
Senator Albert Gore of Tennessee,
hartman of the Senate Roads sub
committee and author of the bill.

equest of Montanans in Congress.
CONSERVATION
The Interior Department has re-
orted favorably on a bill by Con-
ressman Metcalf, who would make
he Fish and Wildlife Service and
tate wildlife agencies full partners
1 federal water resource develop
lent projects.
The bill is a complete revision of
ne Coordination Act of 1884, which
uthorizes a study by the Service, in
cooperation with state wildlife agen-
les, of the effect of federal projects
n fish and game resources.
Under the act, the conservation
gencies now are supposed to seek a

aused by such projects. The Metcalf :

sustained Chang Kai-Shek. Perhaps
the China lobby in Washington has been
| grateful for his efforts: With our 7th
| Fleet on guard in the China Sea, it has
cost SIS billion. But for Dulles (and
such as Sen. Mansfield) China would
be buying millions of U. S. small trucks,
tractors, sewing machines, grains. She
has grown rich enough to pay for
them: is lending money to other ma
tions.
Japan is selling cameras in America
for $500 as good as Kodaks costing
about 5000. Our factory taxes are part
of the answer
Factory taxes on cars made in De-
troit are $500 each. On cars made in
England, or Germany, factory taxes
are much less.
New England textile mills cannot
compete with the cheap labor of Japan
ese garment makers.
Some big papers in New York and
Chicago own large forests in Canada
and import their paper.
India, $50 million people, wants peace.
1t is not Communistic but realizes that
we are war mongers, that Communism
does not need foreign markets so much
as we do and that wars have been for
foreign markets. Therefore, India
stands with China and Russia. This
impairs our trade with India.
Perhaps our refusal to trade with |
countries hurts them some |
But it has brought us to "stewing in
our own fat. Britain declines to con-
tinue in our frying pan.

Council was already graphing
with the crisis and the Western
powers had long opposed an
unprepared summit meeting.
Suggested Plea to U. N.
The first draft of the United
States note was developed
along the line that Mr.. Khru-
Shchev should take his charge
of a threat to the peace to the
United Nations and he or any
body else could press it there.
That was as far as the United
States note went. It offered
no summit Conference at the
United Nations but left the way
open If Khrushchev pressed.
But British Prime Minister
Macmillan faced a difficult 20.
litical situation. He sent word
to Mr.. Eisenhower he would
have to follow a much stronger
line. He could not afford to
leave any doubt about a posi-
tive desire on his part TO go to
the summit.
So Mr., Eisenhower an.
nounced the United States
would "join in" IL everybody
