| the capital needed, and the non-reve-
nue. aspects of multiple purpose de-
velopment are impossible for private
capital to undertake, nor should they
be expected to.
Everybody can have moreno
body less, Renne declared, because
strictly within our own resources
we could not get as much firm pow
err through the years as we can get
by basin development and through
the grid plan.
He said strictly power sites should
be left to private capital if they are
not tied into the grid system.
He emphasized the need for i'm
partial research to convince the many
people who need to be convinced
the kind of job college should be
able to do-he envisioned such an
impartial research program as the
basis for public education.
Optimistic about Montana's future,
he pointed to the prospects of $40
million people in this country in so
years with $50 of them living in
cities, having more free time on their
hands. People will be devoting less
time to the necessities of life and be
seeking recreational activities, he said,
and added 1--WE do not have to pollute
our streams or ruin our scenic ad-
vantages by developing our resources
or bringing in industry.
Renne called for balanced plan
ming for the future in Montana.
He said multi-purpose dams will be
the major factor in our develop
ment and we must not be caught
when we need these resources so
bad and find we have wasted the
time when we should have been
doing our planning.

Rail Sanitation
Set For
Oct. 29, Helena

Montana's Railroad & Public Serv-
ice Commission on Thursday, October
90, will hold a public hearing on the
1859 Legislative Act which gave the
commission additional authority to
railroad sanitary facilities
The hearing will be held in the Sem
ate chamber, starting at / o'clock.
Under the legislative act (HB 129),
the authority of the commission to set
minimum safety requirements was
broadened to cover sanitation and
adequate shelter as it affects the
health of all railroad employees, inelud-
ing, but not limited to-, trainmen,
enginemen, yardmen, maintenance of
way employees, highway crossing
clerical, platform, freight
house and express employees :"
HB 129 was given the "green light"
and passed the House without dis
senting vote, with the aim of the rail-
road lobby apparently to maneuver a
quiet death for the bill in the Senate.
This maneuver failed, when, through
the efforts of Loren Joslin, legisla-
tive representative of Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way, Senate
made a first hand inspec-
ton of sanitation facilities available
for non-op rail employees here in
Helena. The senators returned from
their inspection trip, shocked and dis
mayed over the deplorably inadequate
facilities provided the non-ops by the
Sen. Frank Reardon's Public
Health and Safety Committee recon-
nended passage, and in spite of rail-
road lobby efforts, the bill passed
she Senate by 45-10 vote and was
signed into law by Gov.
