Foreign Doctors

Montana's State Board of Medical
Examiners no longer lists foreign
trained doctors as mon accepted" for
licensing to practice in the state, ac-
cording to the Library of Congress.
This Information has been relayed
by the Library, following it's receipt
of the May 80 JOURNAL of the
American Medical Association. That
issue of the JOURNAL carries an
extensive compilation of medical Ii
censing for 1858.
In addition to Montana, Oregon
and Vermont no longer list foreign
trained physicians as mot accepted,
as was the case last year. Oklahoma's
medical licensing board, on the other
hand, now does not accept such doc
tors, although doing so in former
years.
Today there are only eight of the
SO states and two territories which
do not accept foreign-trained physi-
clans, according to reports provided
the ANA by state or territorial Ii
censing boards. These are: Arkansas,
Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, Canal
Zone and Puerto Rico.

Montana COPE delegates will hold
the annual convention of this states
political arm of labor.
Important national and regional
COPE officials are expected to be
in attendance at both meetings. These

William McSorley, assistant director,
COPE headquarters. Washington, D.
c., as we'll as National COPE staff

Bonneville Power Corporation to
meet all net wholesale needs, it gives
it the revenue-bond financing to make
good on the obligation.
AS an additional obligation to
achieve regional distribution of Fed
eral power, S 1927 adds this Ian
guage:
''In order to promote the diversi-
fled agricultural, industrial and
economic development of the sew
eral states of the Pacific Northwest
it is hereby declared to be the policy
of the Government to distribute
electric power equitably through
out the states of the Pacific North
west so that there will be no un-
reasonable geographic concentra-
tion thereof"
This may be considered a slight
modification of the preference clause,
and as such has stirred some opposi-
tion among public power spokesman.
But like the preference clause, it
would come into play only if the cor
poration failed in it's obligation to
meet the net wholesale requirements
of the region. 1t is some assurance
to Washington's neighboring states of
fair treatment in event of a power
But it is far outweighed in
by the public utility re-
sponsibility the new corporation would
assume.
1t just does not make good sense
that public power advocates should
stand rigidly on a law which would
permit public agency monopoly of
Federal power. The preference clause
was designed to prevent a private
utility monopoly of Federal power,
and it did. But neither should seek
monopoly. The Northwest could unite
on this bill if the competing elements
in the power industry are willing to
give a little. The result would be a
firm guarantee of plenty of power at
the lowest possible cost for all con-
sumers,

butterfly net instead of a gavel.
Acting Governor Paul Cannon anc
the two board members, Merritt
Worden and Edith Chambers, are Of
the minority opinion that the build
ing fee shakedown has gone beyond
reason with charges ranging over SIC
per quarter.
This building fee started reason
ably enough when Student Union
buildings, with the restaurants and
lounges that could hardly be consid-
cred part of the instruction, were
erected on the campuses.
The idea was carried over to in
clude student living quarters. More
recently Montana State College built
classroom building financed by stu
dent fees. Now DR.. Steele of Eastern
College of Education in Billings pro-
poses a $1,30O,O00 physical educa-
ton center. Cannon says such build
ing fees are tax upon special
group without authorization by the
legislature.
Montana is constitutionally charged
to provide educational facilities. De-
grees are granted for physical edu-
cation.
Cannon believes that the parents
who have to foot the building fees
should be given the privilege of vot-
ing the fees in, especially since some
of the students aren't born yet who
will be assessed the fees. The fees
might be even further increased under
the bonding arrangements.
T. y
Bank Examiner R. E. Towle ex-
planned Friday that $4,000 had been
put up by the legislature to audit
the books of the University System.
The Montana Association of Certi-
fled Public Accountants will be in
charge of the audit.
This is a wonderful chance for the
association to show it's stuff.
Curbstone audits have shown that
it would be far cheaper to merely
abandon the present system and give
cash grants to anyone who gets out
of high school to go to any school of
their choice. The money grant would
include all living expenses and would

Bonneville Corporation Is Fair To All

+, ton, Idaho and Montana last Decem.
Der.
The new bill, on which hearings are
expected in late June or July, would
change the Bonneville Power Admin
istration, an agency of the Interior
Department which sells at wholesale
the power generated at Army Engi-
neers and Bureau of Reclamation
dams, into the Bonneville Power Cor
poration.
Bonneville Power Corporation could
use its own revenues and could sell
up to 81, 100 million in revenue bonds
to the us. Treasury to provide the
power financing for new hydroelectric
projects to be built, as now, by the
Army Engineers and Reclamation Bu-
reau. 1t would thus reduce the need
for appropriations from Congress. The
corporation also would provide its
own financing for transmission lines
and substations. 1t could build its
own thermal plants to help balance
the hydroelectric load. And, when
nuclear power becomes feasible, it
could build these reactors.
The most important change in
S 1927 from the earlier versions is
to give the Bonneville Power Cor
poration a utility responsibility to
meet the net wholesale electric pow
er needs of all distributors or con-
sumers within the Pacific Northwest
who desire and are willing to enter
into contracts to purchase power
from the corporation.
Thus, the corporation would be OBJ
ligated to anticipate and provide for
serving the requirements of private
utilities as we'll as public-owned util-
ity preference customers and indus
tries. But in pledging to meet the net
needs of utility customers,
the corporation would in no way in
hibit their right and obligation to pro-
vide for themselves, in their own
projects, as much of their needs as
feasible.
The "utility responsibility" clause
goes long way to counteract appre-
hension in Oregon, Washington, and
Idaho-in which private utilities
dominate-that eventually the re-
gional power system will become a
State of Washington system, in eff
feet, through operation of the Bonne-
vile preference and priority" clause.
The latter gives publicly owned utili-
ties, which dominate in Washington,
first and last call on Federal power.

All convention sessions will be held
in the Helena Eagles Hall, including
the Saturday evening banquet. The
banquet will be catered by Jorgen-
sons with entertainment provided by
"Pee- Wee" Weber, Betty Weber,
Ceal Tucker, Earl Tucker, Jr., and
Howard Craig. The dance following
the banquet will have music provided
by the Eagles Lodge orchestra.
The 1859 convention was originally
set to be held in Anaconda. Because
of the inadequacy of housing facili-
ties in the Smelter City to accommo-
date the several hundred expected to
be in attendance, the convention was
moved to Helena by State AFL-CIO

From the Portland OREGONIAN

A sound pattern for self-financing
of Federal power generation and dis
tribution in the Pacific Northwest now
has emerged. The measure introduced
by Senator Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) as S 1927 is logical and
vastly improved successor to earlier
proposals. 1t was drafted chiefly by
counsel for the Department of In
terror (although the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration has not yet given the
bill its blessing).
S. 1927 is a substitute for S 3114,
which was introduced by Northwest
senators last session by request of
the Northwest Public Power Associa-
ton. 1t also replaced a committee

lie Works Committee on which hear
ings were held in Oregon, Washing

in at the Council to talk about the
slaughter on the highways and the
possibility of getting some sort of
speed regulation. He also illustrated
how the University System was slip
ping around the legislature and the
peoples referendum measures to i'm
pose special taxes to build buildings.
This came up at the last Board of
Education meeting when Eastern
Montana College of Education at Bill
lings imposed Student voted" levy
to build gym.
In connection with this it will be
recalled a 10-million dollar building
proposal was kept off the 1858 bal
lot by the Supreme Court because
the measure had originated in the
Senate. Appropriations must originate
in the lower house. Last session
12 and one-half million dollar pro-
gram was killed by the House. To
meet the need for buildings, college
administrators have been driven to
use internal expedients which detri-
undermine the thesis of
popular higher instruction.-F. S.

A prime target of the Legislative
Council was revealed at its Monday
and Tuesday meeting when Rep. John
Cavan suggested that the Council,
after study and printing of the organi-
zation chart of state boards, commits
sions and departments, purchase two
four by eight-foot peg boards and
place them on the wall.
The circles and squares of the
printed chart would be reproduced
with little pegs in back. Colored
strings would connect them to show
their authority and responsibility.
Then the Council would move them
around until the arrangement made
sense. At that point number of
squares would be missing. More
strings would be attached to those
remaining.
Rep. Pat Gilfeather had some sug-
gestions for the extensive hearings
that the Council is going to hold this
fall. Brief statements with wide mar
gins for notations by the Council
should be submitted as early as
month before the hearing. The sus-
picion of the non-lawyers in the group
was that most ranchers rather than
give stenographic courses to their
cowhands would hire attorneys. Per-
sons without prepared advance state
ments will be permitted to testify
even though prepared squibs would
give the Council chance to orient
themselves.

Friday night as darkness fell upon
the Capitol campus a blackness of
an ugller nature pervaded around the
custodial sub-group of the Board of
Education.
The black mass ceremonies of exec
utive session to discuss personnel
questions were held by members E. A.
Dye, Genevieve Petro, Boynton Paige
and chaired by Mrs. George Cham
bers. George Lund and Monsignor
Reilly of the University sub-group
were invited to partake of the foul
fruit of secret information being
served.
The sickness that has infected
the town of Twin Bridges and the
Montana Children's Center located
there needs the pure air of public
discussion and a scaIding bath of
public indignation.
Richard Little, the administrator
who is bringing the Children's Center
up from the mire of neglect and MAX
ing the place worthy of the name of
being Montana institution, is being
subjected to attacks by repulsive i'm
plications.
In the back you can hear the de-
mented refrain that Little is ''too
soft' with his charges.
My hearty wish is that this sick
ness could be dismissed as just silli-
ness that comes on warm June nights
but there are serious resultants of
town-ridden with alterations.
Even now the volunteer fire de-
partment has refused to train with
the new firetruck at the institution.
Volunteers from the town of Sheri-
dan, ten miles away, have been very
happy to be able to train to protect
themselves from peril of fire and to
have modern equipment at hand that
will back them up on 24-hour call.
Little has been holding his own
against these townsmen that believe
that the Children's Center is pri-
vate political plum. Now the poison of
innuendo has oozed to the surface
and the letter pressures of "why
haven't you resigned" and other digs
are due for housekeeping.
The Attorney Generals office is
quick enough to assist in pressing
murder charges at the Deer Lodge
prison to protect society. At Twin
Bridges it is case of libelous tongues
that are destroying not only the eff
fectiveness of an institution but their
own town.
Because you accept employment by
the state does not permit you to be |
an open target for every psychopathic
personality.

Ordinance Drafted
 To Control Dances

An ordinance is under consider ation by the City Council to con trol dance hall operations in Kodiak, especially those involving public dances attended by minors.
 Under the provisions of the or dinance, dance hall licenses will not be issued unless the operator conforms to certain regulations. They may be revoked when the operator fails to comply with the provisions of the ordinance.
 Councilman Carl Huer agreed with the ordinance in general as read, and thought it was a good ordinance" But he thought it should contain a clause calling for character references of operators, similar to the one now in force governing motor vehicle for hire operators. This stipulation is to be incorporated in the ordinance.
