A few years ago, popular song
appeared whose refrain ran,
Friendship, friendship, just per-
feet blendship; when other acquaint-
ances are long forgot, ours will
still be hot" Marylanders might
be pardoned for taking issue with
this happy prophecy in regard to
their own Friendship Airport. De-
spite a passenger increase of Sc per
cent this July over the same period
last year, a Soon-to -be-announced
, agreement between France and the
/ United States for direct jet service
. between Baltimore and Paris, and
the near-perilous congestion of Ma
tional Airport in Washington,
Friendship Airport continues to be
ignored by the airlinCs and the
Civil AeronauticS Board The re-
/ luctance of the airlines to shift OPP
eratiOnS from one terminal to the
other is all too Understandable:
/ Why bother to provide adequate
service at Friendship when every
year $4,000 passengers make the 40
mile trek to and from Baltimore to
use National? However, apparent
lack of interest by the CAB is not

More than three years ago. the

CAREFUL CONSIDERATION

Administration heads have assured
Montanans in Congress that two more
of their requests will receive careful
consideration" One is that soil and
water conservation research labora-
tory be located at Sidney; the other
that a commemorative stamp be is
sued in 1860 for the 50th anniversary
of Glacier National Park.
"The Department recognizes the
need for this and many other pro-
posals which we receive for additional
research programs and facilities" +"
True Morse, acting Secretary of Agri-
culture, wrote Senator Murray of the
former request, backing up study
group recommendation.
"The soil and water study group
was one of three such groups active
last year. Many other phases of our
research program if reviewed in a
similar manner, would no doubt re-
veal gaps in the research which need
strengthening. However, it will not
be possible to provide for all high
priority items at one time. In view
of these circumstances, we do not
consider it desirable to make specific
commitments on individual proposals
far in advance of their realization. l
want to assure you, however, that the
you point out for Sidney
lover the other possible location at
Rapid City, SD as location for
this particular center will be given
very careful consideration when it
becomes possible to include it in furth-
er expansion of our soil and water re-
search program"
L. R. Walter, special assistant to
the Postmaster General, told Senator
that his suggestion, backed
up by Senator Murray and Congress
men Metcalf and Anderson, that a
Glacier Park 5Oth birthday stamp be
ssued. twill receive careful consid-
eration".

On the question of how such a
comprehensive development program
would be paid for, Kenfield said that
"the project would pay for itself to
a large extent. IVA is paying off
and so is Bonneville Power Admin
istration out west.
"How would we get the money to
start regional development project?
Some of it from federal appropria-
tions and perhaps some of it might
come from issuance of revenue bonds.
Recalling revelations of colossal
waste by the military made by
House committee last spring, Kenfield
quoted from the committee report
that "the defense department :.
wrote the equivalent of at least S7.5.

The Commission was astonished at
the command of language and poll
tical affluence the delegation dis
played. Paleface delegations which
appear do not understand commits
sion rituals half as we'll as the Grow
nation representatives. The idea of
any assemblage is to keep the peace
pipe burning. In the menatime the
Crows are keeping their powder dry.
The Indians need the cooperation
of F and G to promote their trophy
plan. If permission was unilaterally
granted by the tribe to take game the
hunter would be open to arrest by
F and G wardens. The F and G needs
the tribal cooperation to have
sound wild life program.

Production of planting stock from
Forest Service nurseries in the North
ern and Rocky Mountain regions,
Campbell said, is far short of that
needed and money allotted for re-
forestation is "inadequate to accom-
plish the program within reasonable
period of time". The Administration
has been after this tree program with
an axe since 1854.

House committee, ''was spent on

Centering on the theme "on what
the army throws away we could re-

leader suggested the Senate commit
tee that eff we could take one-sixth
of the military budget of $40 to $50

USDA LOST IN FOREST
OVER TREE PROGRAM

While the need to plant 48 million
acres Of commercial forest land during
the next 1920 years is urgent
if we are to have the timber we need
by the year 2000-the Agriculture
Department has turned thumbs down
on a proposal that we get on with the
job.
The adverse departmental report,
which usually means the death of a
measure, was submitted on measures
sponsored by Montanans in Congress
Senators Murray and Mansfield,
Congressman Metcalf and Anderson.
Their resolutions would make it
policy of Congress to provide a con-
tinuing program for the reforestation
of federal, state and private land.
Accelerating and supplementing exist
ing programs in the Agriculture and
Interior Departments would provide
for planting of 48 million acres in
the 10 years beginning next July 1.
The need to plant this 48 million
acres of eomercial forest land in the
next 1920 years ''is urgent, in the
words of the report on the measure
submitted to the House Agriculture
Committee by the Department of Ag-
riculture.
"The Department is currently re-
viewing state-federal forestry pro-
grams for small forest ownerships. |
This review may have bearing on
the Departments future views as to
the proper roles of the state, local and |
federal governments and private own
ers in planting these small forest own
erships to trees. In the meantime, the
Department believes that the states
should assume much greater financial
for tree planting on
non-federal lands. "For this reason,
we do not at this time favor the pro-
posed increase in federal authorize
tions for tree planting on such lands"
the report said.
AS this departmental report headed
for Capitol Hill, the Comptroller Gen
eral recommended more tree planting

Crows, Fish & Game Talk
Peaceful Co-Exisfence'

Edward P. Whiteman, chairman of
the Grow Tribal Council, William A.
Wall, secretary, and John Smart En-
emy, advisory council member, handed
the Fish and Game Commission Tues
day talking stick' which outlined
the Indians legal position in relation
to reaching agreement for mutually
cooperative handling of the wildlife
on the Grow Reservation.
F and G responded by closing the
deer season on the reservation No
vember A, meaning only a four-day
season for the greater portion of the
reservation, October II through Oc-
toger 18.
Grow tribal lands. like those of
other reservations, have been closed
because it is doubtful F and G has
any real authority to make regula-
tions in these treaty areas. The al
lotted and decided lands on the reser-
vations appear to come under F and
G control. In 1851 a request came to
F and G to open a season because

ties on the reservation.
This beginning action is to secure
F and 6 stocking and policing services
but to retain the treaty and natural
rights of the Indians to the game
within the reservation.
The Grow are formulating "tro-
phy'' license plan to make tribal land
game available to paleface hunters
which have wampum in their jeans.
This is the beginning of a new
enlightened diplomacy with numerous
summit conferences, with the F and G
on the Attorney Generals
office for guidance and the Crows
making what use they can of the In
dian Bureau.

said coordination at the federal level
was needed and leadership there
seemed to be lacking. He suggested
establishment of a co-ordinator of
water resources at the federal level,
an independent board of review to
analyze the feasibility of projects,
the formation of a regional basin
committee and establishment of a
permanent inter-agency committee.
Senator Kerr asked Renne if he
knew why Congress was against such
a proposal then elaborated that the
reason was congressman are against
any combine that isn't their own so
it won't be possible for President
that is against any new starts to be
any more fortified. Kerr said highly
as Congress respects the agencies they
feel their constituents interest is
going to be better protected if the
are in the position of
strength they presently have.
DR.. Renne told Senator Kerr that
the answer to the fears of Congress
came in the provisions of S2549
which set up a committee of eight
senator's and eight representatives

ions coming out of any of the agen-

Take Care In Burning

BY Thomas Moorf, 9Th G "a d G.
John Randolph School, son Of Mr..
ard Mrs. o. H. Moore. r. ]. Farm
Vile.
Burned forest lands produce VERY
little forest income Since almost
all forest fires are man-made they
can be prevented The main causes
Of forest fires are incendiarN. smOk
ers. brush burning. railroad l6sg-
ing. and lightning.
Some of the ways to save om
forests are to be thoughtful n d
careful. If you smoke. don't throw
your cigarette down. but crush it
and make sure It is out.
When you are burning brush. you
should start the fire against h
wind and not with the wind. Burn
brush late in the afternoon when
the winds are low and air moisture
is high. When you are burning off
a field. you should first pillow a
strip around it wide enough so the
fire won't jump across the strip.
Be sure to have plenty Of tools
handy in case your fire gets out of
control. Always have someone
watching the fire, and be sure the
fires is completely out before leav-
