WORKMEN's COMPENSATION

You may wish to examine the Sec
ond Injury Fund with an eye toward
eliminating any major barrier which
may exist to the hiring of physically
handicapped. However, any extension
must be accomplished by financing
that will not overprice workmen's

P.E.R.S. & SOCIAL SECURITY

In considering any legislation af-
fecting the Public Employees Retire
ment System, it is imperative that
any proposals for the liberalization
of its retirement benefits be accom-
panied by adequate compensation pro-
visions for their funding or financing.
In any proposals to establish addi-
tional retirement systems for sepa-
rate coverage groups, urge that you
explore fully the advantages of keep
ing all public employees under the
established retirement system. Recent
amendments to the Federal Social Sc
curity Act make it correspondingly
necessary to amend existing statutes
so that our public employees and
their beneficiaries may enjoy full
Social Security benefits.

MONTANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Our State Historical Society has
been in existence since it's creation
by the Territorial Legislature. The
last revision of its laws was made in
1949. Since that time the portion of
the law dealing with appointment of
trustees has become outmoded. There
is no longer any Chancellor of the
Greater University of Montana, so
change is in order here. You should
also make it more easily possible for
potential donors to endow the His
torical Society. This will greatly aid
the preservation of our historical cul-
ture, which has made such great |
strides these past few years.
VOTING
In view of recent controversy over
the use of voting machines, a need
to clarity the laws concerning their
use definitely exists. In addition, you
have a duty to see that no barrier
70 simplified voting procedure exists |

LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD

Two of Montana's greatest indus
tries are livestock and poultry. They
are both part of our states biggest
industry = agriculture. Animal di-
seases are responsible for a large
loss to these industries in the form
of reduced meat, milk and egg pro-
duction, as well as actual livestock
and poultry loss. In addition, 81 of
these diseases can be given to humans.
Responsibility for prevention, con-
troll and eradication of these diseases
lies with the Montana Livestock Sani-
tary Board. That Board is also re-
sponsible for establishment and main
tenance of meat inspection, enforce
ment of grade A milk standards and
enforcement of other laws in this
field.
To properly fulfill these RESPONSE
bilities, an adequate diagnostic labor
atory must be available. The present
lab is outdated, over-crowded, dam
gerous and entirely inadequate. The
space now being used is the same as
was provided in 1918-more than 40
years ago. | hope you will give the
fullest consideration to this critical
need of the livestock industry.

they look so much like the grass

planted them, we are not sure
whether they are alive or not"
Unfortunately the fishing was
so good that we simply did not take
time to take any pictures, but the
thought has occurred to me that
perhaps you would like to have
your conservation people take the
time to go out and get some pic
lures before it grows up to the
point where no one will believe that
this could possibly happen. do not
know when I will get out there
again myself, but if it is soon
enough I will attempt to get some
pictures for you although 1 am
afraid that if the fishing is as good
as it has been for the past months

lost finally had to go out on the
beach to get our bearings to come
back. In the area down toward tbs
point of the Cape where, as YOU
know, the dunes are badly cut back
the seed from oats has dropped
over the edges and alre a d y
sprouted to the extent where the
straight banks which were left
from last years hurricanes have al
ready filled up with sand and have
resumed the appearance which they
had some seven or eight years ago.
We also noticed with complete
amazement that the flat area of
the beach on the exposed side now
has sprigs of these same oats COM
ing up to about six inches high
and that each of them has small
pile of sand around it so that, in
effect, there is the beginning of an
entire new line of dunes as much as
200 feet outside the remaining ones.
Apparently there is some sort of
an air current through here which
carries the seed because the gen.
eral appearance is that new outer
barrier of dunes is at least trying
to build itself between the point Of
the lighthouse. This unfortunately
will run right down the middle of
the area which has been used for
landing planes on the island. You
will probably recall the low
swampy area between the new dock
and the Coast Guard Station which
had nothing in it but grass as re-
Gently as last spring. This has now
grown up to not only grass but a
number of these bushes some of
which are as much as six feet high
and are apparently growing like
weeds. We also noticed that next
to Skinny's house in a low place
where there had always been the
semblance of some roots of some
kind which we could not identify
that a complete scuppernong vine
has grown up and has on it about
two bushels of good scuppernongs
ready for the picking. AS a matter
of fact, it is growing SO fast that
Skinny is planning to build a trellis
for it in order that he will have a

"When we first started going
out there, Skinny decided that he
would see whether or not he could
grow any trees of any sort in the
area around his house and as re-
suit planted them on several diff
fent occasions only to have them
die. Apparently this was due to the
cattle either walking on them or
nibbling at the tender shoots since
the ones which he planted last fall
have survived almost 1000. At the

COASTAL VISITOR
NOTES GAINS BY
REMOVING ANIMALS
Great Improvement. TO Outer
Banks Has Come by Taking
Up Free Range Livestock

An interesting commentary or
the benefits from taking up free.
range livestock on the Outer Banks
is contained in letter from John
t. McIsaac Jr., of Spray, N. c., to
Governor Luther Hodges. 1t cites
the benefits that haye come to
Gore Bank, one of the worst eroded
sections of the state, since cattle
have been removed. We all know
what benefits soon came from re-
moving cattle from the North
Banks, and then from the South
Banks. Such legislation was bitter
" opposed, but now Legislation to
put livestock back would be more
bitterly opposed.
Hogs and horses are particularly
destructive, because, they dig up
the grass roots and eat them too,
whereby bare, loose sands are left
to mercy of wind and tide. Over a
long period of years, the almost
irnperceptible lowering of elevation
of the beaches, opens the door to
disaster when hurricanes and high
waters come to the coast.
By taking up the livestock, grass
gradually gets to grow again, it
helps to hold the sands, it encour-
ages other vegetation, finally trees,
hnd in time again offers areas safe
for investment and human habita-
ton.
Mr.. MacIsaac's letter explains
how benefits can come in a. short
time. he says, to Governor Hodges:
"Last night we were talking
about the change that has come
over Core Bank since the cattle and
horses were removed. The thought
has occurred to me that perhaps
you have not been out there and
not familiar with what a spectacu-
lar thing has happened on this
bank"

thoroughfare for the horses had

year, we watched with amazement
as the whole appearance of the

How The Tag Comes About, But No Link Between -
Liberals And Communism

Drew Pearson remarked some
weeks ago that strange as it
might seem Khrushchev might
elect Richard A. Nixon President
of the United States. Nixon, Pear
son said, was being sent by Els
enhower to open the American
exhibit at the Soviet fair in
Moscow this summer. While there
if Nixon could pull off some sort
of an easement of the Berlin cris-
is, he could come home the Man
Of-The-Hour and hold an adj
vantage in 1860.
Khrushchev might just do that.
1t would be in line with the Com
munist's pattern. For forty years
now Communists have been AM
erican reactionaries best friend
and American liberals worst enc
my.
Neither Lenin nor Stain had
any place for American liberals
in their schemes for a totalita-
rian society. Lenin made it clear
that he held war an instrument
of policy, to be used to bring
about the destruction of demo-
cratic societies. Stain made it
gruesomely clear that any who
opposed his way of thinking
would be summarily shot I'd
Khrushchev makes it clear by his
counting big business in America
who are the people in the United
States he favors. It is of more
than passing interest that when
Mikoyan was here few months
ago, it was big business, big steel,
big bankers who were invited to
his hotel suites at the Biltmore,
the Palmer House, the st. Regis.
How does it happen that lib
erals have been linked in the
public mind with communism
and communists?
First much of this came from
the overthrow of the Car and
the aristocracy and the vast es-
tates. Liberals approved. But lib
erals also approved when Keren-
sky came into the picture and
sought to construct a govern
ment along our lines. Liberals
supported President Wilson when
he gave material aid to Keren-
sky and dispatched American
soldiers to fight in his short Lived
war with Trosky and Lenin. Will
son was THE liberals leader and
what he did reflected the atti-
tude of liberals. But neither the
Press, nor the NAM would allow
it.
Second, American communists
have always mouthed a program
in behalf of Negroes, the laborer,
the youth and the poor. These
often paralleled proposals of lib
erals and progressives. Actually
those of us in position to know
what went on in the fight for
such proposals as the right of

The hard fact is there has new
er been any love between Amer

munists and certainly none on
the part of Moscow or the Amer
lean Communists for American
liberals. They have had nothing
but contempt for all American
liberals. Yet. because Liberals
would give workers the right to
bargain collectively, would ex-
tend equal treatment under law
to the Negro, would undergrad

Communists. who incidentally do
not have the right to strike, who
have no law except what Khrush-
chew says is the law, and who

times that Khrushchev, Mike

A New Governor
In Mississippi
BY JAY MILNER

|
Georgia's Talmadge, Arkan-
sas' Faubus and Alabama's Pat
terson had best look to their
laurels as champions of white SUI
premacy. Mississippi has just
elected a Governor who is deter
mined to become the nations
foremost foe of equal rights for
Negroes since Sen. Theodore Bill
DO went to Washington with his
plan to "send all blacks back to
Africa"
Ross Barnet, sixty-one-year-old
damage suit lawyer who never
held an elective office before,
won what is known as a land
slide victory this week in Missis-
sippi's second primary guberna-
torial race. He defeated 1t. Gov.
Carroll Gartin, who was support
ed by the comparatively moder-
ate present Governor, j. P. Cole
man. In one-party Mississippi,
llOIlllIldtlOI1 Ny tllC DCIIlOC4 dIlC
party means you're elected.
In most other Southern states
candidates for state offices, ap-
parently with an eye to the future
when Negroes might vote in large
numbers, speak of the race issue
in somewhat oblique phrases. Ev-
erybody knows what they mean,
but they don't ordinarily come
right out and say it. Mississippi's
Gov.-elect Barnett comes right
out and says it.
'The nigra," he declared not
long ago, 'is different because
God made him different to pun
ish him. His forehead slants back.
His nose is different. His lips are
different and his color is sure
different"
This was Mr.. Barnett's third
try for the Governors chair. He
has been campaigning year
round for eight years. He went
up to Clinton, Tenn, and defend
ed John Kasper when the New
Jersey racist was on trial there
for melting riots. Attorney Bar
nett lost the case and didn't ask
for a fee, but Candidate Barnett
got lot of publicity back home.
AS violently anti-labor union
as he is anti-integration, Gov
elect Barnett made Teamster
Boss James Hoffa as big an issue
in the race this summer as he
did the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie. This was despite the fact
that their influence is so weak in
Mississippi the unions haven't
even dared to publicly support a
gubernatorlal candidate yet.
mississippi needs a Governor
who is. not afraid to stand up to
the Hoffas and the Supreme
Court sociologists and the N. A.

date Barnett shouted from every

summer. Gross Barnett is that
man. Ross Barnett will rot in a
Federal jail before he will let

turning point in the ultimate de-

young man who was considered
the front runner in the race at
that time. Gov, Coleman, an open
supporter Of Mr.. Gartin's candi-
dacy, requested FBI assistance in
the case. This caused a lot of
grumbling throughout the state.
