The HoldddYs Live
In Two Worlds

The Pentagon's missile
chief lives IN two worlds that
are centuries apart.
Mr.. William H. Holiday,
special assistant to the Sec
Rotary Of Defense on missiles,
Is intricately involved during
working hours with the prob
lens Of the space age. But
when he goes home at night,
1t is to an 18th century house
and. until recently, It pre-
scented him with the need to
make centuries-old decisions.
He and Mrs. Holiday have
bought and restored an old
house across the Potomac in
Alexandria that had been
unoccupied and unrepaired
for 30 years. The restoration
took eight months. and Mrs.
Holiday told the National
Association Of Home Build
ers that it was q far big
ger job than they had antici-
pated. But, she added, they
are glad they had 1t done. In
fact, she would rather like
to supervise the restoration Of
another house.
Now as handsome as when
1t was first built, the Hola-
days big house, which is on
q corner, was open to the
public this spring during an
annual tour Of historic Alex
andria homes.
Restoration
The house is an impress
sive, three-story, red brick
building with white-trimmed
windows and black shutters.
One wing had to be torn down
during the restoration but it
was rebuilt along original
lines. The walls Of the main
part Of the house were striped
pretty much to the brick,
reinforced with steel rods and
replastered.
One of the beauties of the
house is its original reeded
and beaded woodwork, which
survived the years almost in
tact. The Holidays have had
the few missing parts dupli-
Gated exactly.
The living room is on the
second floor. Mrs. Holiday
believes that the many fami-
lies that lived in the house
over the years must have used
this same room as their liv-
ing area. Now it has soft
gray walls and a cheerful
rose carpet. The woodwork
throughout the house is
painted white.
The simplicity with which
Mrs. Holiday has furnished
the living room seems to spot
light the woodwork, which is

further enhanced by the
curtains. They are Of un-.
bleached sheeting with q wide
fringe which Mrs. Holiday
bought by the yard. The
curtains cover only the win
dowpanes, leaving the wood
work in full view.
Mrs. Holiday and their
daughter Martha made the
curtains and it was q race
getting them done by the
time the house was ready for
us to move in" But. she said,
I'VE came out even."
Eight Fireplaces
Originally there were
eight f1replaces. All the old
mantels were removed dur
ing the restoration and then
put back in place except for
one. The Holidays did not
replace the fireplace in their
bedroom, which Is in the new
ly built wing.
The kitchen, also in this
wing, is an interesting COM
bination of the old and the
new. 1t has an old-fashioned,
red brick fireplace that fills
one wall. But it also has very
modern equipment, includ-
ing a centrally-placed stove,
wall oven, and dishwasher.
The Holidays enterprise in
restoring the house attracted
more than usual community
wide interest. Alexandria is a
city which prides itself on its
well-maintained old houses.
BY now the Holidays are
quite used-but still pleased
to having people stop them
on the street and express de-
light at the restoration.

Republican Smears of Flu
Draw Criticism

Reading the Billings Gazette and
lsening 10 the statements of the Re-
publican Legislators from Yellowstone
over the radio it makes you think of
what we heard back through days of
World War II. Hitler was saying, if
you accuse the other party of what
you are doing, loud enough and often
enough the public will think you are
telling the truth and forget the true
picture.
There aren't many days go by we
don't get fed some smear from some
Yellowstone Republican legislators
against Farmers Union. What pressure
gang is pushing these attacks on the
Farmers Union?
My opinion is the Felts, Andersons
and Babcocks are taking their stand
against Farmers Union because the
pressure gang who they are servants
for, have hired them to do so.
Now as to the Farmers Union and
what it has done and is doing.
Montana was settled long before I
came to the state. 1 located on a place
near the r. R. that had an elevator. You
could very often see farmers shOveling
grain in boxcars. 1 asked a neighbor
why these parties did not sell their
grain to the elevator and was told they
could get 20 to 25 cents more per
bushel by shipping. I have heard two
Red Lodge bank presidents say people
were foolish to sell wheat locally if
they had as much as a car, for the
elevators wanted too much profit. As
late as 1929 1 shipped most Of the
wheat off of 200 acres and made more
than enough above elevator price here
to get the grain customed combined
and hauled miles to station and all

longed to eastern concerns and these

THE RETURN FROM
OUTER SPACE

Johnson managed to get some gooC
publicity out of these "statesmanlike'
pronouncements and that was abour
all he wanted. When there was nc
more mileage to be gotten he re
turned to his ordinary pursuits a:
champion of special interests, even
agreed that there must be no reck.
less federal spending, and let Sen
Harry F. Byrd scuttle Senate-ap-
proved Workmen's Compensation
measure by yielding in House-Sen-
ate conference committee.
In many ways Johnson reminds
me of man named H. Sanders An
glea, who is currently running for
vice mayor of Nashville, Tenn. In
announcing his decision to run, An
glea said:
'My many friends have not pre-
vailed upon me to become a candi-
date for reelection, and 1 have not
been told that the city needs my
services; the truth of the matter is,
l want the job again.
Nobody has asked Johnson to be
the Democratic leader. He stepped
in when a vacuum existed. None of
the Democrats from those populous
states, whose support is needed for
the party to win in 1860, wants
johnson to continue as party boss.
But he likes the job and is staying.
All this, of course. is made to order
for Vice President Nixon. If there
are no "big issues" developed by the
opposition party-or if its congress
sional "leaders" believe none exists
then what reason is there for choos-
ing Democrat for President next
year? Nixon will claim that he knows
more about the inner workings of the
federal government than anyone now
being considered by the Democrats.
There will be lot of people who
will believe him and lot of others |
who will take 'what the hell'' atti-
tude and simply stay away from the
polls.
What Johnson does not know, or
does not care about, is the simple
political fact that Democratic vic
tory is not inevitable. If the party
sPokesmen contribute to political
indifference by smothering all the
big issues of the day then the cleo
ton becomes contest of person
alities. Johnson, who is no glamor
boy, ought to think twice about
what such a contest could do to
his own candidacy.

Emmons Enters
Private Practice
In Great Falls

Robert J. Emmons, 80, has resigned
from the staff of Attorney General
Forrest H. Anderson to enter private
law practice in Great Falls.
An Anaconda native and a 1856
graduate of Montana State University

of Agriculture and Real Estate and
the Water Pollution Council. He also
handled bond proceedings for state
university system construction.
During the recent legislature, EN-
mons drafted more than forty bills,
including a proposed recodification
of the state real state law. As counsel
for the livestock sanitary board, EN-
mons successfully defended the state
brucellosis program against an attack
based on a writ of prohibition. The
Montana Supreme Court recently
ruled use of the writ could not be
to ministerial acts, thus re-
fusing to interfere with the board in
carrying out its testing program.
Upon graduation from law school,
Emmons was awarded the Bancroft
Whitney award for scholastic excel
lence. Chosen to participate in the
U. S. Department of Justice honor

HOW TO LOSE AN ELECTION

Lyndon Johnson of Texas MAY
think he's the life of the party. but
there are many thoughtful Democrat:
who think he may be the death of it
1t is now five months since the
supposedly "ultra-liberal" seth Con.
gress has been in session. Last No
vember the Democrats swept the
country and even the most optimistic
Republicans could see nothing to
cheer about except for Nelson Rookie
feller's victory in New York. And
Rockefeller was too Independent to
make rock-ribbed Republicans feel
he was one of them.
But what the Republicans could
not do for themselves, Johnson and
Speaker Sam Rayburn have done
for them. There is more hope in
Republican ranks right now, less
than a year after their worst de-
feat since the sos, than there has
been since Gen. Eisenhower agreed
to become candidate back in 1852.
What happened to the Democratic
leadership that has caused the present
Congress to turn out far different
from original expectations? Well, you
pay your money and you take your
choice.
The Wall Street Journal, express
ing no regrets, says that this Con-
grss is cautious, compromising and
unexciting" Big businessmen, it says
in effect, have nothing to worry
about. While. it offers no simple ex-
planation of the reasons for the Dem
ocratic showdown it suggests that
business is once again so good all the
pressure from the ''liberal-left'' has
lost its steam.
This explanation is not without its
merits. But l think the problem goes
deeper than that; it goes to the per-
sonality and private interests of the
men who are running the show. At |
the beginning of the year Johnson |
made a number of high-sounding |
speeches dealing with world affairs
and outer space. No one took him

Temporary supervisor of the parole

Limit to Crop Supports-We have
placed a rider on the Department of

ing the amount of any one price sup

been hurriedly and somewhat care

sure what it means. 1t is at least a
gesture toward the family-type farm
rather than the large corporation-type
farm. For instance. one cotton grower
received more than a million dollars
and a rice grower received nearly
S11z million. The top II CCC loans,
the smallest about third of a mill
lion dollars. went to southern cotton
and rice growers. Some of these are
foreign-owned corporations.
