CLARK CANYON, AT LAST
Thursday the Congress put an
end to the crack going around Capt.
tol corridors that natures dam Gre
ating Quake Lake was the first new
start in the Eisenhower Admins
tration.
Congress resoundingly overrode the
Presidents veto of the second public
works bill, thereby giving the green
light to continuation of the second
power plant at Fort Peck, the Helena
Valley Unit, and new start at Clark
Canyon Dam ($975,0 appropriately
of the East Bench Unit near Dillon.
There are some fears however that
the President, angry over inclusion
of new starts, might impound the
money for the East Bench Unit which
Congress gave him.
Prior to the Senate vote to over
ride, Senator Mansfield took the floor
to contrast the Administration oppo-
sition to new starts at home to its
advocacy of new starts in Morocco,
Somali and Tunisia, at u. S. expense,
through the foreign aid appropriation.
''This Administration has no COM
FUNCTION about spending money on
telecommunications in Liberia, on irri-
cation in Spain, on roads and bridges
in Malaga, on dam in Taiwan cost
ing more than $40 million, on dredg-
ing in Thailand, on waterworks in
Paraguay, on. sewage system in PAX
istan, on waterworks in Wet Nam,
and on a airport in Bolivia"
Mansfield said the Administra-
ton calls such projects develop
ment" abroad, but pork barrel
at home. As the Administration
sees it, he said, eff these projects
are for development abroad they
are urgent and essential. If these
projects are to operate at home they
are spendthrift and socialistic."
New starts and continued resource
development here at home, he said,
are essential to progress.

".We're getting dozens of letters

hrushchev as great propaganda VIC

Secretary of State could deny
passport to Mr.. Eisenhower"
