Minimum Crew Bill Beaten By
Defenders of Sick Industry

| Frank Reardon D-Silver Bowl
said the bill was a safety measure be-
cause the railroads wera getting ready
to cut crews in the face of longer and
longer trains. He pointed out the bill
did not require minimum crews, out
made the rails liable in the case of
accident, in event there was less than
minimum crew handling the train.
III. H. Anderson (D-Lincoln) also
pointed to the safety factor of the
bill and said safety was something
that is not handled through negotia-
tions, but rather by legislation.
The Wilson motion was supported
by Jack Brenner (R-Beaverheadl :,
Walter 3agunsky (R-Madison), Ell
Dussault (D-Missoula), Ben Stein Cd
Park. Gordon MCGOWAN (D-Chou-
teu), Dave Manning (D-Treasure)
Charles Mahoney (R-Garfield) and
o. P. Balgord (R-Golden Valley.
Pat Mlnette (D-Glacier) in sup
porting the Brotherhoods said, eff
they (the railroads) are so safe with
cuC-doWn crew there is nothing to
prevent them from using a smaller
crew" in HB 134.
The brotherhoods faced forceful
lobby in the last minute clinches on
their Minimum Crew Bill, and hear
ings brought officials from as far as
st. Paul.
An interesting sidelight was the
fact that Ted Mannix (R-Powell) was
the only Republican that stood in
behalf of the Brotherhoods in the
division vote.
What has become a common argu-
ment in this session was used in the
on behalf of the railroads,
when opponents to the bill said the

Federal aid to education was de-
bated on a minority report of "do not

passed through general orders on
Monday when 20 voted for the edo

The issue came before the legisla-

Rail Sanitation Measure
Gains Senate Approval

More satisfactory sanitation facili-
ties for railroad workers will be forth
coming if HB 129 receives guberna-
torial approval.
The bill, by Emmons, Cloves, Way
rynen, Helding, Gleed, Elting and
Kiff, amends existing law covering
"rules for equipment of cars, trains,
and engines, and health and SANTA
tion," (72-150, ROM 1947) by adding
that the railroad companies must pro-
vide "for sanitation and adequate
shelter as it affects the health of all
railroad employees, including, but not
limited to, trainmen, enginemen, yard
men, maintenance of way employees,
highway crossing watchmen, clerical,
platform, freight house and express
employees -
Although railroad system officials
were strongly opposed to passage of
HB 129, on-the-spot checks by legis-
lative committeeman of some of the
unsanitary, unhealthful facilities rail
workers sought to correct, carried the
day in both houses with only a minor
ity of opposition votes.

Attempt TO jam Voting Machine
Condemned By House Speaker

The electronic voting machine,
that has saved untold hours of time
in the 94-member House of Repre-
sentatives, cost over $4,000. Last
week in political give-and-take
Speaker John Macdonald accused
Republicans of trying to Jam the
machine in an attempt to delay
the work of the House at a time
when the deadline for transmittal
of bills meant long and exhausting
hours for everyone and there were
53 bills, many of them controver-
sial, to be considered in the waning
hours before the deadline.
Walter Marshall is able to take
care of minor repairs, and was able
to fix the totalizer switch that
burned out because some legislators
apparently held their hands on the
switches on their desks, causing
the machine to balk. Had the dam
age been serious the closest repair
man would have been in Richmond,
Virginia.

main switch from his control but

Valiant, But Vain Effort
Interim Council
In Business For
Two More Years

Senator Jim McKenna (D-Fergus)
made valiant effort to stir up oppo-
sition to interim legislative councils,
but didn't get much support during
debate-time on the issue. McKenna
opposed the 100000 appropriation
on the grounds the council did not
exist after December 81, 1858 and
''the legislature could not appropriate
money for something that doesn't
exist and may never exist.
Ex-Council members Robert Dur
kee (D-HilD and William Mackay (R-
Carbon) supported the appropriation.
Durkee said the staff had prepared
and drafted It's bills for legislators
and answered some $3.50 requests for
information and materials. He said
legislative interim councils are a
vital step in legislative history.
Mackay said the last council has
shown that two parties can get to-
gether and work on many problems
of state government.
W. A. Croft (D-Ravalli) told Nc
Kenna if another council is not ap-
pointed the money will revert back to
the general fund.
HB 1876 passed the Senate 40 to 2,
so the legislative council is in busi-
ness for another two years.

The Speaker pushes the control

Senute Gives
TentufiveOk

AS of late last night, the
long-sought weight-distance
method of taxing trucks and
securing equity of highway
costs between various types
of users, was one step away
from the Governors desk.
Sub.HB 228, survived Senate
debate yesterday, with all at
tempts to amend it and thus
send it back to the House for
further consideration, beaten
back by proponents of the bill.
Sen. Lloyd MicheIs D-Sheridan), +,
long an active supporter of greater
equity in distribution of highway cost
responsibility, led both the fight in
opposition to major amendment pro-
posed by Sen. Walter Sagunsky (R-
Madison) and the debate for the bill
prior to 228 being advanced to the
final roll call stage.
Also speaking on behalf of passage
were Sen. Majority Leader Dave
James (D-Liberty) and Sen. Frank
Reardon (D-Silver Bow. Joining Sa-
gunsky in opposition were Sens. Art
Hagenston Cd Dawson), Minority
Leader Rex Hibbs (R-Yellowstone)
Sen. Ray Grant (D-Custer) and Sen
C. w. Grandey (R-Prairie).
Michels based his plea for the bill
primarily on the long-overdue need
for equitable distribution of high
way costs between the various types
of users. Revenue, he said isn't
the primary aim" of the weight-dis-
tance bill. If additional funds are
tain equity, "we then have a firm
foundation from which to build
revenue"
Taking note of W-D opponents oft
repeated contention that Montana is
a "bridge'' state and that this type of
truck taxation will drive cross-country
away from the state, Michels
said cit costs money to build bridges.

control of education may be continued
by providing, by means of the more
equitable taxing authority of the fed
eral government, share of the fed
eral income to the several states ir
amounts sufficient to supplement
state and local financial resources
for this most important of all state
services.
The legislature, through SIR A,
would also respectfully petition the
Congress of the United States to re-
affirm the national policy of federal
financial support for education which
has ample precedent in the school
land grants given to this and other
states nearly 100 years ago and with
out which even the present inadequate
programs of public education could
not survive"
The federal school aid program was
compared to the highway program,
and the brucellosis program. Harold
Gunderson (D-Cascade) asked oppos-
ing Republican Cavan if he thought
kids were as important as cows, to
which Cavan replied, apparently in
Montana they are not according
to Montana law if a dog bites a cow
you can kill him, if he bites kid
you can not''. Cavan said he would
also debate the federal aid to roads
and added, 81 will not de-
fend the road system because would
as soon debate roads, too.
Rep. Page (Missoula) defended the
program because it is used
by all the people of the nation and
said schools "are strictly a local stu
atom, to which Rep. Bradford Cd

Battle in Strait

TAIPEI. Formosa, Aug. 20
CAP).-A Nationalist Chinese
warship tackled four Red Chi

them and setting it afire, the
Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said the four
gunboats approached the Ma

China coast about midway be-

try said the Communist vessels

ship returned it. There was no
mention of damage or casual

After one Red gunboat was set

A survey Of conditions in
troubled spots of the Caribbean
and talks with government
leaders and others underscore
one thing:
The forces for democracy
and freedom, now on the
march throughout Latin Amer
lea, will not be deferred. But
which way democracy turns
and what measure Of freedom
is attained are other matters.
Nations In Trouble
Within the last two years.
both Cuba and Venezuela have
deposed military dictators. The
formerly oppressed people of
these nations are embarked on
new programs with different
kinds of government.
In the Dominican Republic,
the powerful police state of
Generalissimo Rafael L. Tru-
lilo Molina is under the heav-
lest fire in the 20 years of his
reign.
To a less spectacular degree
but nevertheless tirelessly, lib
erals across the sea in Central
America have vowed to break
the hold of the Somoza family
on Nicaragua.
Gen. Alfred Strossner, presi-
dent of land-locked Paraguay
IN South America, is feeling the
relentless pressure of elements
which class him as dictator
and say his regime must fall.
Haiti. the impoverished and
weak little republic occupying
the western end of the island of
Hispaniola, is being dashed by
the political storm that sweeps
the hemisphere.
It has been invaded by a
band of rebels who oppose and
seek to overthrow the admins
tration of President Francois
Duvalier. Furthermore, Haiti
runs the danger of being
crushed in a squeeze play if
the armies of Trujillo and
Castro decide to move in for
purposes of joining battle.
In early spring, an ill-advised
band of adventurous Cubans
landed in Panama for a quickly
smashed assault on that coun-
try.
Many Causes of Unrest
All this turmoil, which adds
up to one of the most serious
crises in Western Hemisphere
history, is the cause of grave
concern in capitals everywhere.
The trouble is rooted not
