For the Record

In The Washington Star Of
August IS there was q very
interesting news story about
the Montgomery County Fair.
! have been taking a con-
siderable amount of joshing
because Of one gross error
In that part of the story
which refers to the Devon
cattle which I have on ex-
hibit at the fair. The story
states:
Senator Morse, Democrat
or Oregon, had a 100000
English Devon bull on exhibit
from his ranch at Eugene.
Oregon. The Morse entries
also included a baby calf,
which was born at the fair
grounds yesterday. The calf
is destined for the show ring,
and is valued at $4,000"
! was never interviewed by
the reporter who wrote the
story and, therefore. such
an exaggerated evaluation Of
these animals never came
from me. May ! say good
naturedly that If anyone
would like to offer me So
900 for the bull, he would be
sold If could catch my
breath quick enough to say
Sold" Likewise, I would
waste no time in accepting
an offer Of 81 ZOO for the bull
calf.
I seek to correct this error
Of extra ciphers in your news
story about my cattle because
as president Of the American
Devon Breeders Association,
I am seeking to encourage the
establishment of new herds
Of Devon cattle, and one Of
the inducements that the
Devon breeders emphasize is
that the very best of Devon
breeding stock can be pur-
chased at very reasonable
prices. We are trying to en-
courage young farmers with
little money to invest in
breeding stock to purchase
Devons because they are high
quality cattle that can be
obtained at very reasonable
prices.
Wayne Morse,
Senator From Oregon.
Editors Note: We regret
that the reliable source" of
The Stars information turns
out not to have been very
reliable and are grateful to
Senator Morse for having
stopped the inf1ationary trend
in Devons which we mad
vertently may have started.)

Kermit me TO comment on
the article Generals Find
Jobs Outside Arms Industry"
by Richard Fryklund.
Mr.. Fryklund maintains
that retired military don't all
go to work for arms manu-
facturers, despite the impress
sion coming from the Hebert
subcommittee. Mr.. Fryklund
appears to have done some
Of his own research in this
matter and offers 10 cases Of

ing for "non-defense" firms.
His choices, however, are most
unfortunate. I can demon
strate. and herewith submit
partial proof. that such COM
panies as Bulova Watch,
Sperry Rand, American Ma,
chine and Foundry. etc., etc.,
are very much in the arms
business. In fact, over half Of
the cases cited represent
firms with one or more divi-
sions that advertise boldly
their contributions to the
Nations defense.
Please don't misunderstood
my intention. I am not taking
the position that such hiring
Of retired military leaders is
necessarily wrong. All that I
am trying to do is clear up
misconceptions about the
cases cited. You used to be
able to tell what a company
did by its name, but with so
many food manufacturers,
chemical firms, car manufac-
turers, and so forth, DIVERSE
fled into a number of different
fields, including the arms
field, the name doesn't really
mean much. That's why so
many of the old line COM
panies are changing over to
initials instead Of names.

Now it's AMI.

Poll Tax Analyst
Southern poll taxes" came
from the so-called carpet
bag" constitutions imposed
upon the people of Southern
States by the Reconstruc-
ton and related Acts of Con-
gress.
They first appeared in 1869
as conditions precedent to
the right to readmission to
representation in the Con-
greSS.
One poll tax dollar stays
in the county for the benefit
of the public free schools
and so cents goes into the
literary fund for the benefit
Of the public free schools.
Why do we still have them?
Because of the restrictive
conditions imposed upon the
people of Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas as conditions
subsequent to the right to
readmission to representa-
ton in Congress.

The board has unanimously
chosen to ask the public to ap-
prove the site adjacent to the pre-
sent football field, The reasons for
nominating this site by the board
are IS follows:
l. The cost will be kept at a
minimum. The ten acres will be
purchased for S10,00O.00. This will
give the school a twenty-acre site
for a minimum cost. This item of
cost is of vital Importance. The
amount of money that is available
for the construction, equipping,
architect fees and site purchase
is $840 100000. Mos construction
jobs of this magnitude in Montana
have been costing over a million
dollars. All the money possible
will need to be used for construc-
ton. Other adequate sites would
range in cost from $4,000 to
$40,0 00.
2. The investment of $4,000
in the present football field can
be kept and have the entire school
plant at one site.
3. This site will meet the re-
quirement of the State Board of
Health which require a minimum
of ten acres plus one acre for each
one hundred anticipated students.
The site will be adequate for a
school enrolment of one thousand
students.
a. The site is centrally located
so far as present city growth and
development is concerned.
5. The site on Sunset Avenue is
ideal for future grade school deve-
lopment. The board feels that adj
ditional land should be purchased
for future elementary expansion
on the Sunset site.
