Republicans May Yield
rs House Seats

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
AS many as As Republican congress
men may join the growing ranks of
the unemployed, come the election
day next November. This prediction
was made last week before the
National Capital Democratic Club by
DR.. Louis H. Bean, widely known
political analyst and one-time eco
nomic adviser at the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in pre-Benson days.
Bean sees this likelihood because
of the growing public criticism of the
way President Eisenhower is handling
his office and because of the current
business decline. Bean said he doubted
that the business decline will be re-
versed sufficiently by November to
change the drift in political attitudes.

A Grim Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there lived a poor
| old farmer. He was poor because his
heart was not in the business of get
ting rich. He lay awake nights think
ing of how to improve the whole world
and do his small part in bringing the
| kingdom of Heaven to earth. You
could call him a disciple of the brother
| hood of Man. Now no one is quite ready
to condemn such thoughts and actions,
| but everyone seems perfectly willing
to ridicule this farmer because he WAS
not a business success 1t was readily
apparent that lying awake nights and
thinking day and night of such mat
tiers made the poor man totally unfit
to succeed as q farmer. The condition
of his farm and finances soon reflected
this for all to see.
In the ordinary course Of events 1t
became necessary for this farmer to
sell some of his cattle. Now he had
been so engrossd with his social bet
terment work, he never bothered to
listen to the radio read market
reports in the press So, when the time
came to sell his stock, he did not know
what they were worth on the market.
He thought his best course would be
to have the most honest and decent
buyer of his acquaintance come out
and buy the stock for what they ought
to be worth. For this farmer knew that
the buyer spent most of his waking
moments keeping track of market val
ues of stock and his judgment of values
could be trusted.
But it came to pass that the buyer
did not wish to share his expert knowl-
edge with the farmer. The old free
enterprise slogan of: Let the. buyer be-
war, is completely reversible to read:
Let the seller beware. Now this poor,
old farmer with his brotherhood philos-
ophy did not wish to ask so high a price
that the buyer might be in danger
of losing money on the transaction.
He knew it cost time and money for
the buyer to render this service Of
helping to bring the farmers stock to
the ultimate consumer and he had no
wish to be niggardly in paying for this
service. 1t was against his religion, al
though he never went to church.
The case of the buyer was different.
He went to church and gave handsome
ly toward it's financial support. He
saw nothing immoral in paying an eX
brilliantly low price for the stock. 1t
tended to bolster his ego and prove his
business acumen to buy so low that he
could make much profit. Also 1t helped
his bank account and made it possible
for him to donate to his church and
other worthy charities. All this made
him feel very good indeed.
If there be a moral to this tale, IL
must be that an organization of So
Getty, Wnlcn allows anu even uefifrHuS
simple honesty be so outraged, is wrong
and misnamed free. Society, so or
ganized, that it penalties simple hon
esty and truth while rewarding clever
ness and dishonesty, is a slave society. |
However confused by legality and CON
ethics a social order that
destroys faith and trust and enthrones
hatred and fear can be free in name
only.
Christ said: aye shall know the truth
and the truth shall set you free. -

Fear Is the Unreasonable
Emotion

You can not argue with Fear. The
fear of Russia and Communism, in
Congress, since Sputnik, will drive that
body to run wildly into the very
course that will weaken us, and thereby
spread Communism and increase the
power of the Soviet among it's people
and it's influence in the world.

WASHINGTON NOTEBOOK
By VIC REINEMER, Exec.

The Montana Congressional delega
ton last week introduced Legislation
to continue wheat price support al
So a bushel through 1858, instead
of dropping it to $1.78 as announced
by the Department of Agriculture.
When he put the bill in the hopper
Senator Murray said:
GAS the President of the United
States himself recognized in April
1856, the wheat farmers are at the
doorway to economic disaster. Thou
sands have gone broke. Thousands
more-the backbone of food produc-
ers who are as essent IL to our secur-
ity as missile makers-are going to
be in great financial trouble if the
$1.78 price support level goes into
effect
ACTION ON MONTANA BILLS
The House Indian Affairs subcom-
mittee is scheduled to take action
January 80 and 81 on two Montana
bills the Senate passed last year.
One is S 1923, Senator Murray's
bill to permit the Grow Tribe to make
long-term mineral leases and guar
antee that the title to minerals goes
to the allottee or his heirs or devisees,
even though the surface rights may
have been sold.
The other is S 1742. the Murray
Mansfield bill which will permit con-
yeyance of tracts on the Huntley
Irrigation District to School District
No. "a in Yellowstone county. The
school district can then dispose of
land and buildings no longer needed
because of recent construction of
consolidated school.
SILICOTICS HELPED
Thanks primarily to the efforts of
Rep. Lee Metcalf, at least AZ Mon
tana miners who are victims of sill
COSTS will receive sos a month pre-
viously denied them by the Social Sc
curity Administration.
Under Social Security law disability
insurance benefits for any month
must be reduced by the amount of any
benefit payable for the same month
under workmen's compensation law.
Montana's Welfare Act provides for
payment to Silicotics meeting certain
requirements. But these payments
come from the states general fund
and are not considered workmen's
compensation.
Nevertheless, the Social Security
Administration deducted the sos state
payment from the silicotics' social Sc
curity check. They also told some sill
cotics who had Enormously" re-
ceived checks in the full amount to
send back the money.
Lee explained Montana law to the
Social Security people, who last week
advised the delegation that payments
made under the Montana Public We'll
fare Act "do not require a reduction
of disability insurance benefits under
the social security program"
Claimants whose benefits had been
reduced, said Commissioner Schott-
land care in the process of receiving
and a check for the ac-
cumulated benefits (Which were)
withheld.

stamps above the $40 denomination
No glue.
Mr.. Comfort didn't think that was
very efficient, and so advised mem
bers of the delegation.
The Under Secretary of the Treas
sury reported that adhesive stamps
''tend to stick together in humid
areas, a conclusion no one will dis
pute. He went on to report that "the
Internal Revenue Service and the Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing are
attempting to work out some of the
problems involved" so that "such
stamps will be issued with suitable
adhesive. -
Bravo for John @. Public, and let's
hope the cost of this study by the two
bureaus doesn't exceed the cost of

VICTORY FOR SPORTSMEN
And lot of Montanans won fight
with the Internal Revenue Service last
week when it backed away from its
drastic proposals to regulate firearms
and ammunition.
Last year IRIS announced plans to
issue, among others, the following
new regulations:
L. Each purchaser must sign for
each article of all types of firearms
and each round of pistol and revolver
ammunition.
2. Manufacturers must affix serial
numbers on all firearms.
3. The present six-year period, dur
ing which dealers must maintain rec
ords of receipt and sale of firearms
and ammunition, be extended to for
ever.
Senators Murray and Mansfield
and Representative Metcalf and An
derson zeroed in on that one pronto.
Within a few weeks sportsmen from
throughout Montana chimed in.
The Congressional delegation told
IRIS officials the proposed revisions
represent an invasion of the rights
and privileges of the sportsmen in our
state as we'll as those throughout the
nation (and) furthermore :. would
work hardship on dealers, manufac-
turers and importers of firearms and
Congressman Anderson went
down to a hearing on the revisions
and told the officials that If they
went through with their plans, he'd
see there would be legislation pro-
hibiting the revisions, and that fur
thermore IRIS might run into
trouble getting enforcement funds
from Congress.
Last week, in letter to the dele
cation, Internal Revenue Service said
t had come to the conclusion chat
certain notifications to the proposal
we're justified.
Here are the notifications:
1. There will be no requirement
hat each purchaser sign for each
irearm and round of ammunition.
2. There will be no requirement
hat .22-caliber rifles and inexpensive
hotguns be serially-numbered.
3. The records that dealers are now
,eeping for six years must be kept
or 10 years.

decreed that no word of Eng

be made in the language being
studied-even on the very first
day of instruction. Thus. he

Six Rules For Phone Girls

Convinced that more customers come in
through the telephone than ever walk in the
front door, the Bell System has more than
100 advisors all over the country to help
switchboard operators brush up on their die
ton and telephone manners.
Here are six cardinal rules which these
experts say guardians of Americas telephone
gateways should unfailingly observe:
I. Speak at lp-diStance of approximately
one half inch away from mouthpiece at an
approximate rate of l26 words a minute.
2. Never answer a cali with pencil or ciea-
rette in your mouth. Don't drink coffee on
duty. If it spills, it can cause a short circuit.
,. Don't use such ''old-fashioned and time
consuming words" as Hello and ''Yes.''
Burst out liltingly with the full name of the
firm. Never bluntly ask, who's caIIing?'' but
use the more friendly. MAY tell MIR. Smith
who is calling, please?''
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-06-01

4. Avoid Lazy Lips. Improve vowel tones by
standing in front Of mirror before retiring and
saying. "dah, dah, ba, ba, and pi, pa, po, pu''
over and over again. If lips continue lazy,
whip them through ''Theophilus Thistle, the
thiStle-sfter, Sifted sieve of unsfted thistles''
s. Don't be a subconscious snitcher by using
such tattle-tale phrases as: ''Sorry, but Mr..
Jones is still out to lunch Always keep your
sense of humor. If customer accuses you Of
giving him wrong extension - don't argue
that you didn't even handle the call. Say:
I'm very sorry, Mr.. Peabody. don't blame
you for being upset. Please let me try again"
6. Let of steam - in private. The ulcer
conscious New York Telephone Company,
which handles upwards Of l9,OOO,O 600 calls
day, realizes that long periods of enforced
politeneSS can build up tension, advises their
girls to let out pent-up emotion in a mono
syllable oh or "Ah." This also helps
develop variety in the voice.
