Moscow Plan"
Bill Again In To
Take Away Your
Right To Vote

In the Soviet Union election of
officials amounts to a plebiscite.
There are no opposition candidates
to the ones chosen in the backroom
for each office to be filled.
Under provisions of HB 230-a
constitutional amendment-intro-
duced by Anderson, Felt, Gerard,
~Cavan and Angstman, Montana
voters would be asked to forego
their right of selection of men to
sit on the State Supreme Court.
All verbiage cleared away, HB
23O would put election of Supreme
Court Justices on a par with cleo
tions in the Soviet Union. You'd
either vote "Ja" for the politi-
clans given the official blessing of
the Governor, or you'd vote 'nyet".
Translated into terms of practi-
cal politics in Montana, the chances
of getting Governor appointed
judges who would be immune to
pressure from major corporate in
terests, would be almost non-exist-
ent.
HB 23O is longer and windier
than was a similar proposal Glib
48) which was turned down by the
1857 Legislature. But, HB 230,
like HB 4s, has but one purpose
to take from you your democratic
right to name men of your choice
to the high bench. You take it
from there.-HLB.

Rate Experts For Public
Service Commission Asked

The Public Service Commission
would be given authority to hire "rate
experts, engineers, auditors, account
ants, attorneys, and any and all other
expert help and assistance &. ;" needed
to conduct investigations and set real
istic valuations on private utility
property ''used and useful in the
intrastate utility operations of such
utility :" under HB 257.
HB 257, introduced by Powers,
McNally, Mernin and Wood, also con-
tains provisions for assessing the costs
of such rate experts, etc., to the
utility applying for a rate increase
or which the commission decides to
investigate in order to determine the
reasonableness of it's valuations used
for rate-setting purposes. The COM
mission could set as its cost of investi-
cation mot to exceed two per cent
of the final value placed upon
utility property used and useful in
its intrastate operations.
This bill is a companion measure
to HB 180, and is also aimed at stop
ping the irresponsible granting of
rate increases, the need for which is
not proven, as was the case in 1853
when the Public Service Commission
went hog-wild in granting 21 to Sc
per cent natural gas and telephone
rate boosts to the 'big three" of
utilities operating in Montana.

Powers took exception to the oppo-
sition calling HB 1 "an evil act'', and
said if it was "evil to help the unem-
ployed | am glad l believe in evil".
He said business argues this bill will
chase them out of Montana and they
would rather chase the unemployed
out. He added "some of these people
have deeper roots in this state than
the businessmen who would chase
them out".
Opposition came from J. j. Cavan,
Jr. (R-Yellowstone), Joe Casey, Cur
tis Lees (D-Yellowstone) and Orvin
Flare (R-Sweetgrass).
Lees said he had been told if he
didn't vote for the bill his boat bill
would be killed. He said he didn't
sleep all night thinking about that,
but he had decided he would not sacri-
flee his principles, so he was against
HB 1. Cavan pointed to Senate Bill
19 which requests an increase in the
length of time unemployment COM
pensation will be paid as a reason for
voting against HB 1, and Flare called
it "a substitute for an honest days

Montana participation in this pro-

The motion to return the bill to
committee was debated only briefly,
during which time Rep. Jess Angst
man (D-Hill) gave the PEOPLES
VOICE a three-minute commercial.
True, he was somewhat caustic about
the roll call votes we publish each
week.
Angstman really doesn't care how
the VOICE records him as voting, he
is only concerned how we are going
to give him a minus zero. Angstman
was the only member present who
didn't vote on the motion to recon-
slider.
Ye olde editors of the VOICE
aren't too worried about how Rep. A
votes, either. We only put it down on

In this year, the sesquicenten-
NAL of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln in 1909, Ohio motorists
are making trips to points of in
terest in this state connected
with the life of the Civil War
president.
While Ohio cannot match the
number of sites in Kentucky,
where Lincoln was born, nor in
Illinois, where he lived and prac-
ticed law most of his life, Ohio
has several localities associated
with Lincoln and several unusual
monuments to him.
Most unique is the marble bust
that stands by the entrance to
the Senate Chamber in the
State House at Columbus. This
bust, by T. d. Jones of Colum-
bus, is the only sculpture for
which Lincoln actually posed.
This nationally famous sculptor
spent several weeks in Spring
field, III. in 1861 where the pres
ident-elect gave him an hours
sitting each day. Many Lincoln
scholars journey to Columbus to-
day especially to see this bust.
In Cleveland, standing in front
of the School Administration
Building, is a famous statue of
Lincoln, protrayed as the sculp-
tor imagined he might look when
he delivered the Gettysburg Ad-
dress. The sculptor was Polish
born Max Kalish, whose early
studies were in the Cleveland
School of Art. A major portion OF
the fund for the statue came
from pennies contributed by
Cleveland school children. 1t was
unveiled on Lincoln's birthday ir
1882.
Lincoln visited Columbus or
} two occasions. September 16
1859, he made a political speech

'4Civil War Panorama" a Sc

Thomas Clarkson Gordon (in-

Indiana artist who served in
the Union army and later put
on canvas many of the events
he had witnessed. The pano-
rama starts with the firing on
Fort Sumter in 1861 and ends
with the surrender four years
later at Appomatox. Above is

on the east terrace of the State
House, and there is a plaque
there to commemorate the event.
Cincinnati has a fine statue of
Lincoln by George Grey Barnard
which was matter of great con-
troversy in 1917 when it was new.
1t has since been accepted as an
uncommonly searching portrait
OF the overburdened wartime
president. The statue, which
stands in Lytle Park, few
blocks east of Fountain Square,
was a gift to the city by Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft. Rep
licas of it are in Manchester

approving reference to the de-
cision Of the district judge in
the Little Rock case of June
20. 1858, for gradual racial in
tegration, the appeals court
had this to say:
THE proceedings of the dis
trict court and the total
inaction of the school board
speak so loudly that no argu-
lment is needed to show that
the last delaying order of the
district judge cannot be APP
proved, and that it has become
necessary for this court to give
specific directions as to what
must be done"
The appeals court said it was
aware of the fact that prob
lens confronting a school
board in a municipality "are
different from those which the
school board must meet in a
completely rural community
such as Prince Edward County
where the races are approx
Imately equal in number. This
difference, however, has al
ready been given effect in the
present instance"
The court added:
"Other communities in the

the question and solve it
whereas in Prince Edward
County school authorities have
taken no effective action what

STRAUSS
A-BIost Detection
System Questioned

have been used 10 manufacture
Jet airplane engines.
Senator Anderson suggested
that by talking about the iolo
incident. Mr.. Strauss was hop
lng 70 avoid discussion Of his
opposition 10 the medical iso-
topes IN io47.
Senator Anderson also said
the former Acc chairman had
deliberately withheld informa-
ton from Congress and had In
terpreted the law 70 suit his
own purposes.
For example. he said. Mr..
Strauss had kept from the
Congressional Atomic Commit
tee information about the de-
velopment Of a "clean bomb"
and plans for sharing with the
British secret blueprints Of the
U. S. nuclear powered subma-
rine Nautilus.
The New Mexico Senator
also dwelt at length on Demo-
cratic efforts several years ago
TO pass a bill increasing the
Governments program Of
building atomic reactors for
development Of atomic electric
power for peacetime uses. He
said Mr.. Strauss opposed this
bill. The bill failed to pass.
Sees Inferior Advance
Senator Anderson gave fig
ures to show that Great Brit
ain and Russia will go far
ahead Of the United States in
the immediate future in de-
veloping kilowatts Of electricity
from atomic power plants as a
result Of the failure Of this
Government to build more
commercial reactors.
Senator Pastore. Democrat OF
Rhode Island, interrupted Sem
ator Anderson to say that, in
fairness to Mr.. Strauss. 1t
should be pointed out that some
effort should be made to de-
termine whether he was merely
wrong or trying to deceive Con-
gress some years ago in his
estimate of how many reactors
this Government should build.
Senator Pastore said his rec
objection was that Mr.. Strauss
contended that while other
countries might go ahead fast
er in kilowatts, this country
would be developing a greater
efficiency in the use of the atom
through its research work.
Senator Magnuson, Democrat
of Washington. chairman Of the
Commerce Committee, said he
hoped the committee could
complete hearings on the
Strauss nomination by the end
of this week.

cess appointment As Commerce
Secretary, and then was for
mally nominated for the post
last January. The nomination
has been hanging IRE before
the Commerce Committee since
January II.
In his prepared statement,
which he did not complete yes
terday, Senator Anderson said
hts research has persuaded him
that Mr.. Strauss neither
proposed nor procured the es-
Enlistment Of q system OF
lone-range detection. although
he did indeed participate In the
drive TO bring Il 10 success"
Special Committee
senator Anderson said the
second claim made BY Mr.,
strauss Is that he began the
movement TO bring about de-
velopnent of the H-bomb,
Commenting on this. Senator
Anderson continued:
Il have always conceded that
Admiral Strauss strongly sup
ported the position that this
Government should make an
about effort 10 build a hydro
gen bomb. But did President
Truman concur with his rec
concentration? do not think
so. The record will show. in
stead, that President Truman
appointed a special committee
of three people-Dean AchesOn
Louis johnson and David Lili-
enthal. These three men studied
the matter and met on the
morning Of January 81. 1850
They reached a decision and
accordingly went at 1880 noon
that day to see President
Truman"
Senator Anderson said Presi-
dent Truman approved the rec
ommendation of this three-man
group, and suggested that Mr.
Truman is available If the com
mittee should desire to question
him about the matter.
With regard to the shipment
Of isotopes to other countries
for medical purposes, Senator
Anderson insisted that Mr.
Strauss opposed such shipments
in l947
The Senator said that in his
testimony at the current hear
ings Mr.. Strauss. in an effort
ito deceive this committee,
talked about his opposition to q
different shipment of isotopes tc
Norway in 1949, which Mr.
Strauss opposed on the ground
that they would be used fol-
testing materials which might
