Would Trim Tax Subsidy
For Oil & Gas Industry

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Senator William Proxmire (D-Wis.)
wants to reduce the tax subsidy that
oil and gas producers now enjoy. He
introduced bill June to do this.
He says it will plug a S500,000,000
a year federal tax loss.
with wells now pumping only
seven days a month, any dwindling
alibi for incentive taxes to encourage
exploration for new oil has evapo-
rated,' Proxmire said. ''The percent
age depletion allowance for fat boys
in the oil and gas industry is the big
gest of all tax loopholes. 1t is in eff
feet subsidy of 81 " billion year."
Proxmile proposes to cut these al
lowances from 271a to 1879.

Notes On the Eisenhower
Nixon Prosperity

WASHINGTON, D. c. (AFL-
CIO) A total of 271,00O factory
workers lost their jobs between mid
March and mid-April, the latest date
for which figures are available. The
Labor and Commerce Departments
reported that the number of workers
in manufacturing plants was 1,700,-
900 fewer than in April 1857. They
also reported that 100000 unem-
ployed workers have been without
jobs for at least Is weeks, the highest
figure since before World War II.
And 10000 of those have been job
less at least six months.
Cash-ins of U. S. savings bonds ex-
ceeded sales by $14,000,00O last
month, the Treasury Department
said. Cash-ins of E and H bonds in
April totaled $16,000,000 more than
they did in March.
More businesses failed in March
than in any month since World War
II, Dun & Bradstreet reported. And
the number which failed during the
first quarter of this year was some
10 per cent more than in the same
period last year.
Meantime, the Federal Reserve
Board reported that output of fac
tories and mines dropped in April
for the eighth straight month. The
Board said industrial production was
at it's lowest level since October 1854.

National Guard armories at Dillon
and Chinook moved another step clos
er to reality last week.
The Defense Department pro-
grammed the two one-unit armories,
to which the federal government
would contribute $4,000 each. The
House Armed Services Committee re-
viewed and promptly approved these
projects and the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee is expected to take
similar action soon.
The Montana congressional dele
cation is keeping a watchful eye on
these projects to prevent, if possible,
delay or disapproval by the Budget
Bureau, which in the past has refused
to open Uncle Sans purse for some
armories.
Another item in the fiscal 1859
construction program, a shop hangar
addition at Helena's municipal air.
port, has already been approved.
IKE SIGNS MONTANANS' BILLS
It's a rare day in June or any
month when the President answers
mail from the Montana delegation
and many other members of Congress.
But the President is kept fairly busy
these days just signing into law the
bills by the Montana delegation.
Tuesday, he signed two more. One
increases from 20 to 80 years the
period for which concessionaire leases
may be granted under the National
Park Service Act.
Because of the short park season
and lease limit, rates must be high |
if developments are to pay out in
20 years. The increase in the lease
limit should permit financing at
rate which more visitors can afford.
The other provides that the Hungry
Horse Dam project shall be subject
to federal reclamation laws. Congress
has treated Hungry Horse as being
governed by reclamation laws. But
the General Accounting Office raised
a question regarding the legal status
of the dam, consequently this clarity
ing legislation.
TV HEARINGS
The Senate Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee plans to
resume late this month the hearings
started late last month into the
Gree TV" "cable TV" etc. con-
troversy. The committee is taking
testimony from representatives of
all the various viewpoints and in {
terests.
There's already agreement in
Washin ton congressional offices
on one point. 1t is that television
viewers, no matter which kind of
TV they approve or disapprove, are c
the "writingest" people around. t
The Montana delegation has heard r
from thousands of persons in the
Treasure State on this subject. v
LAND POLICY
Detailed replies are coming into q
he Senate Interior Committee, from :,
The people's voice., 1958-06-13

| Indian tribal officials and Indiar
Bureau field officials, in response tt
Chairman Murray's request for in
formation on land sale policy on the
various reservations. Recently the
Department of the Interior agreed
to Senator Murray's request that g
moratorium be declared on the sale
of all Indian land Except the klamath
Reservation in Oregon) until ad-
journment of Congress, which is ex-
pected in August. The senator was
concerned over the rapid dismember-
ship of some reservations, where land
is going into white ownership at a
fast clip. An example right at home
is the Fort Peck Reservation, where
some $4,000 acres of Indian land was
sold last year.
STATE RESPONSIBILITY
This spring Rep. Lee Metcalf in
troduced legislation which would in
struct the Secretary of Agriculture
to use money he has available for
purchase of additional food, to be
distributed among school children, in
stitutions, and the needy. Supplies of
some commodities, such as peanuts,
beans, chickens, turkey, citrus fruits
and potatoes, are SO large their market
is depressed. Government purchase,
Metcalf explained, would help needy
when they need help and
also help the farmers.
Last week the Department of Agri-
culture reported, adversely, the Met
calf bill.
''We do not believe agricultural
funds should be used for such pur-
poses,'' said the Department. "Basic
responsibility for the provision of
the needy in charitable institutions
and family units rests with state and
ocal governments and private welfare
agencies" aa'

of this school industry group
will be in mid-March and will
be for the purpose of determin-
ing more exactly the contents
of the courses to be offered.
All of these industries have
Federal Government contracts.
The association. of these indus

Tt will not remove all of the

There will still be need for

any sacrifice to get it.
High school boys and girls
must be counseled on what to

VETERANS NEWS

Veterans who qualify for both
service connected disability COM
pensation and nonservice-con-
nected disability pension cannot
receive both payments at the
same time.
Veterans Administration said
these veterans may elect to re-
ceive the benefit which pays the
higher amount.
The veteran may revoke the
election later If his condition
changes to such a degree that
payment for the other benefit
would be higher, VA said.
Requests for election of the
higher benefit must be made by
the veteran, because VA cannot
make such changes automatical-
ly under the law.
VA said since nonservice-con-
nected pension is subject to in
come limitations and service
connected compensation is not,
this may be a factor in a vet
eran'S decision to change from
one benefit to the other.

WASHINGTON - The opti-
mistic nature Of the Eisenhower
Administrations economic fore
cast for the nation - coupled
with Mr.. Eisenhower's advocacy
of reduced spending where fea-
Sible-provides degree Of en-
couragement for tax-reduction
advocates.
There are a number Of men,
bers of Congress, however, who
discount the Administrators
rosy economic predictions. To
these Congressman, tax-cut ad-
vocates contend their program
would so stimulate the economy
that an upturn would be ma
terially haStened.
Mr.. Eisenhower, in his annual
economic report to Congress,
said there are grounds for ex-'
pecting that in 1858 economic
growth can be resumed without
extended interruption"
AS for the longer perspective,
he said there are good grounds
for confidence" that Ga vigorous
expansion of our economy can
be sustained over the years"
Expansion Of the economy is
the basis Of the Sadlak- -Herlong
bill, which would lower personal
and corporation income tax
rates to q maximum of AZ per
cent by a series Of annual re-
ductionS spread over five years.
Cost of the legislation in lower
revenue would be only 81 billion
for the first fiscal year-and So
billion for each of the succeed
ing four years.
Since 1916, Mr.. Esenhower's
economic report pointed out, the
nations economic growth has
expanded at an average rate OF
3.5 per cent a year.
With economic growth fore
cast for the future, many men,
berS OF Congress say that tax
reduction should be voted now
to further strengthen the econ
omy.
Moves to cut taxes also would
receive encouragement If Con-
gress cooperates with Mr.. Esen-
hower's effort to cut spending
in certain categorieS.
He has urged Congress to CO.
operate in reducing expendi-
lures on less essential military
programs and installations,
postponing some new civilian
programs, transferring some to
the States and curtailing or
eliminating others.

The thing that caught my eye
was turntable that looked like a

visit at the Academy of Natural
Sciences, we left Philadelphia for
our trip home.
Our Visit to the Franklin Institute
On our visit to Philadelphia we
went to the Franklin Institute
named IN honor of the famous
American, Scientist, and Inventor
Benjamin Franklin.
In the Franklin Institute I first
remember going through the heart
which is the Engine of Life. In
the heart we were supposed to pre-
tend we were tiny blood cell go
ing through the chambers of the
heart. Even when you touched ii
it felt real.
We next went to the airplane
room. There we saw Amelia Ear
hart's plane. She was the first wo-
man to fly across the Atlantic
Ocean solo.
We then went to the locomotive
room, where we were allowed to go
on one of the engines, which is the
biggest of its kind. Some of the
girls and boys climbed on an old
style engine, too.
AS we were walking through the
building we saw the bicycle hall.
There was one there that would
hold six people, and others for just
two people. The bicycles were very
different looking from some of our
modern bicycles.
Next we had a woman guide tell
us about Sunoco Oil She told us
why oil was very hard to get, and
how people got it out of the ground
They had a certain kind of drill
that would bore a hole deep IN the
ground
The last place we went was the
Planetarium. There we saw a pro-
gram called, "A Trip to The Moon"
In this space trip we were sup
posed to be going to the moon by
rocket. We saw all sorts of stars
