Gifts TO Officials

The question Of gifts to pub
lie officials came UP again in
this exchange with another re-
porter:
a. Mr.. President, Senator
douglas of Illinois follows a
practice of sending back any
gifts that are worth more than
$3.50. Do you feel, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that everybody in Gov
eminent should set some
modest limit on the amount
Of a gift that he would accept"

And Mr.. Adams has acknowl-
edged that he accepted gifts,

that in the investigation Of Mr..

need his income tax returns in

The President replied that
he thought he would consult

Asked About Procedures
The President expanded
somewhat on his prepared
statement in this exchange with
a reporter:

Elections Exceed
 Democrats Hopes
By JOE HALL

WASHINGTON, R LIZ Demo- crats today piled up their most sweeping Senate victories since the days of Franklin D. Roose- welt.
 In Ohio, they exceeded even their most optimistic prediction predictions by toppling Senator John W. Bricker, long a Repub- lican party stalwart.
 Other Republican senators who went down to defeat included George w. Malone of Nevada, Ar thur V. Watkins of Utah, and Ed ward J. Thye of Minnesota.
 But Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona crossed up Democratic hopes with a re-elec- tion victory over Governor Ernest W. Mcfarland, former Senate Democratic leader trying for a comeback.
 Republicans, also sent Represen- tatives Hugh Scott of Pennsylva- mia and Kenneth B. Heating of New York to the Senate to re- place retiring COP members whose seats had been in doubt.
 With only the Senate race in Wyoming yet to be settled, the Democrats had clinched 61 seats in the new Congress opening in January. This was II more than the majority of 50 required for control.
 Not since the Roosevelt Admin istration have the Democrats won such one-sided control of the Sen ate. Their high mark for the last 15 years was 57 seats in the 18th Congress, elected in 1942.

West Will Ask
 Russia To Help Develop Inspection
By JOHN M. HIGHToWER

WASHINGTON, R-The West ern allies will ask the Soviet Union to join in developing a vast military inspection system capable of blocking a surprise nu- clear attack by any great power for perhaps 10 years.
 Any system worked out now would have to be overhauled after decade, it was explained, to take into account new weapons.
 The proposed system would mean an end to much secrecy in the Soviet Union, and officials are not optimistic.
 The first round of talks open ing Monday in Geneva, Switzer- land, is designed to be highly technical - to see whether Com munists and Western experts can agree on the requirements of a workable inspection arrangement.

Well, honestly, this University thing
is getting quite out of hand, IN a
sense. because it has gone beyond
the reasonable to the maudlin.
1t reached that stage with the resig-
nation of K. Ross Toole, curator of
the state museum, and the letter to
Toole from Senator Pat Minette ID
Glacier) who said he would work to
have the appropriation of the museum
"reconsidered" so that no "fly-by-
night appointee or politically minded
board would have in it's hands the
monies entrusted to your care". Min
cite said it was only because Toole
'held the position to exercise your
dynamic leadership and executive
ability" that he approved the mu-
scum budget request for the biennium,
as a member of the Legislature.
Please!
I would be the last to deny the
abilities of either Carl Mcfarland
or K. Ross Toole, but let's not forget
both of them handed in designations.
Now me and Abe Lincoln are
against involuntary servitude.
We can not say to these men, "Come
my dear fellows, even if you don't
like this blooming job, you simply
must continue, no one else can do
this thing, and we insist-crawl back
into your chains.
1t is wonderful job X. Ross Toole
has done at the museum. He is bril-
liant and he has been dedicated, but
he has not done the job alone.
The same may be said for Carl
Mcfarland. Also it may be said of
DR.. Mcfarland that this is not the
first time he has come to grips with
either the board or the citizenry in
general. This was the first time he
made it an either or else proposition.
This has been a confusing and un-
happy time for many people, and to
those who are deeply involved be-
cause of personal, emotional, or what
ever association, it has not been pleas
ant.
The whole affair became somewhat
of a fiasco when the Board of Edu-
cation decided to work secretly. At

At any rate, in the elections of 194S
the majority seemed bent on getting a
new deal for Montana. Then after the
best four years Montana government
ever enjoyed, the people of the State
were duped into an exceedingly costly
mistake in the elections of 1852, and
being gluttons for punishment they
did it again in 1856. AS they sowed they
have been reaping-crisis after crisis
in State affairs and deterioration of
the States position on all fronts.
The people pay and pay but will they
ever get wise and tumble to the cause
of their troubles and difficulties? Will
they ever begin to use the good sense
God gave them to do their own think
ing and arrive at their own conclusions?
When they do they will rise together
and declare their independence of for
eign political control. They will clean
their own house. put 1T in proper order
and put these corruptive forces in their
places and keep them there. We need
Montana government by Montana peo-
pie, not by Wall Street. Sincerely yours.

When Will We Begin
Using Good Sense?
Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana


Helena, Montana
A glorious chapter in the history. of
the State University has come to a
bitter. disappointing end, in a manner
which reflects very little honor and
respect upon our State Board of Edu-
cation.
In his student career at the University
Carl Mcfarland was no mere student,
but scholar of the finest calibre. /
was a classmate of his and he is one
of the few whom / can vividly recall
A man of his great stature and talent
would surely have no motive in becom-
ing president of his Alma Mater ex-
cept to build 1t into the kind of great
school as he had often dreamed of and
envisaged in his younger days. Perhaps
he was building too well for the COM
fort of his enemies.
IT may be significant that the public
careers of two University graduates
met similar fates. John Bonner, first
local alumni governor of Montana and
Carl Mcfarland, first local alumni
president of the University, were both
to succumb to virtually the same Sc
cretive, undermining forces. This makes
one wonder whether the people of Mon
tana want progress, or recognize prog
ress when they see it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

the same time McFarland's policies
were clouded because he did not
share them with anyone.
There can be, and probably will be,
arguments pro and con on this mat
ter for some time, but | think we
should all bear in mind both McFar-
land and Toole handed in resigna-
tions, voluntarily.
The promoters of the "right-to-
work" petition would never qualify
for badges of bravery. They are using
kids and old people to solicit sigma
lures and carry their petitions around
for them.
University students have been of
fered SO cents signature.
Old people, our understanding is,
have been offered 25 cents.
John Vance, Helena attorney, was
in Missoula and got in on a "pitch"
by a University student for sigma
lures. The kid was reading his argu-
ments from prepared sheet he car
ried with the petition, and he would
say, 'It says here J. -. Finally, at
the end of his prepared sheet, and
all his arguments gone, he said, swell,
it doesn't really make any difference
to me anyhow, get SO cents for each
signature.
There is nothing legally wrong with
paying a solicitor, but you can't put
your finger on anyone in Montana
who is backing this thing. They are
so proud of their fight they are send
ing kids and old people out to face
the public.
1t is the darndest thing there
must be a lot of money where
is it coming from?
One thing for sure, I wouldn't want
to be caught on sinking ship with
those birds.

and one half years while they have
been taking money from my employer
to cover the possibility of me being
unemployed, the UCC would not pay
any compensation. 1 finally had to cut
my classes down to just one night class
before any money could be acquired
Finally did find a job, and although
it does not pay very much money. it
is one hundred per cent better than
was coming in before. With a family
to support even a little money seems
mighty good.
Another point that would interest
many of the citizens of Montana What
has happened to the Korean Bonus
bill? With all of the depression that
is in our midst would not the paying
of the bonus put much money in circu-
lation at a time when the economy of

stepping up our role of investment
in good, sound, profitable national
projects, and a secondary aim of re-
lieving the present unhappy unem-
ployment crisis, The Administration
lis asked to step up the annual rate
of construction by 500 over the
Presidents requests and urges starts
of not less than 20 new projects. Five
Montana projects are urged, with ad-
ditional expenditures of So million
to start Big Horn Dam and So million
for the Absaroka-Y Yankee Jim project.
Senator Murray, whose Senate In
terror Committee handled the reso-
luton, said on the floor of the SEN
ate: Montana is one of the states
hardest hit by recession and we need
reclamation developments to give jobs
and conserve for us our natural water
and land resources" The President
is still sticking to his announced pol
icy of mo new starts. Perhaps the
current depression, added to con-
gressional pressure, may persuade him
that America should invest some of
her presently unused manpower and
production in such worthwhile prof.
ects.

Reports To You From
The Nations Capitol

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Presi-
dents Reciprocal Trade Program is
in trouble because he has refused to
tries as mining, which is in serious
trouble. Instead of tariff concessions,
the Administration is proposing to use
the Brannan Farm Plan of produc-
tion payments to raise the income
level of the depressed mining indus
try. The President labeled the Bran
nan plan as moral bankruptcy" in
his '52 campaign, but supported its
use in the sugar beet and wool pro-
grams. We have been providing multi
million dollar subsidies to magazines
and newspapers, to shipyards, to the
airlines and many other businesses.
Probably the next proposal will be to
put Chryslers in a government stock
pile, establish a price support pro-
gram for Cadillacs and take hundred
acres of the Baton Rouge auto plant
out of production and put them in
the soil bank.
Conference Committees - Several
important matters have recently been
referred to Conference committees to
iron out differences between House
and Senate passed bills. After the
conference makes its report the find
ings must still be approved by Senate
and House. The members of the con-
ference Committee on Big Horn (Yel-
lowtail) Dam have not yet agreed on
a suggested settlement to be given
the Grow Indians for that damsite,
but some progress has been made. An
example of conference committee
that operates smoothly is that on the
Military Pay Bill, which has settled
on compromise that will be accept
able to all, so that reservists and ac-
tive armed forces should receive the
new higher pay in June.
The Conference Committee on the
Postal Pay and Rate Bill, on the
other hand, is like boat in danger
of being swamped by the heavy seas.
The committee has agreed on an
average pay raise of about 91a %,
retroactive to January 1, 1858, and
on a first class postage rate of four
cents rather than five. However, the
conferees are in disagreement over
2nd and 3rd class mail rates, and over
