1.-THE estimate points out that
at the rate of recent testing it
will be very difficult to meet
such an estimate.
IT think it is important for
everyone on this committee to
know that there is a very
perplexing basic factor in the
Soviet performance in capa-
bility in that they have fired
so very few longrange tests. To
be exact they have fired (cen-
sored) successful tests. We be-
lieve they have had several
failures"
Other Pentagon sources say
the USSR has fired only about
10 full-range ICBM shots, as
far as we know, one such shot
coming in recent weeks after
months of quiet.
Estimate Lowered
The public record does not
show whether Mr.. Douglas was
asked if the Pentagon believes
ICBM firings could be carried
on in secret within the Soviet
Union. But the tenor of the
Secretary's testimony would
indicate he does not believe so.

USDA Hikes Loan Share
For Bankers

USDA has again increased the
bankers share of the interest cost
paid by farmers on commodity loans
Beginning May 1, the "take" by
banks and other financial institu-
tions participating in the federal loan
program was boosted upward by one
tenth, that is, up to 2A % from 2 u %
rate paid by producers.
'This increase" declares USDA, sis
to bring the interest rates more in
line with current rates ON comparable
short-term government and CONNER
cial borrowings"
Farmers escaped this time without
a boost in the rate they pay but the
tax-paying public, including farmers,
won't escape if the new lower USDA
share of the rate fails to cover its
usual loan-handling expenses.
Taxpayers, also, aren't escaping the
big increase in interest now being
paid by the federal government on
national debt, as a result of the Ad-
ministration's hard-money policies.
This cost is now up to So billion per
year, an increase of more than 1919
since World War II.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Big
Horn Dam construction project, also
known as the Yellowtail unit Of the
Upper Missouri Basin Project, for the
past several days has been the subject
of extensive testimony by myself,
delegations from Hardin and Billings
and by other members of the Montana
congressional delegation. We are seek
ing an appropriation of $6,000,000
with which construction can start on
this long-sought project.

both of Hardin, and Howard Bunston,

Conservation Board of Montana.
The Big Horn multiple-purpose
project has been authorized by Con-
gress since 1914. The President did
not request any funds for this project
in the fiscal 1860 budget, so we are
showing how he, as well as the pres
ent commissioner of reclamation,
Floyd Dominy; members of the var
ious appropriations committees now
and in the past have endorsed this
project. We are maintaining that the
project to be built on the Big Horn

Montana, Site Of Coming Blast-Off To Moon :.
Land Sale for New City to
Be Held In Glasgow, June 2

On June second at the Valley
County hourt house in Glasgow the
State Land Board is going to auction
to the public 400 acres of school land
that lies adjoining to the Glasgow
Air Force Base. According to the
to-wit in the legal ads (Section 81
908 Revised Codes of Montana) these
acres are mot to be held for specula-
tion".
This auction does not give COM
plete title of the land to the success
full bidder since all sales must meet
board approval.
The deed and contract for any land
sold June second will have provisions
that the land must be used for low
cost housing. Certain rights of con-
version and re-entry are to be in
cluded in the covenants, if the land
is not used for low cost housing pur-
poses.
The Strategic Air Command has
withdrawn the request for the sale
since the board meat axed three
quarters of the land initially sought
to put the project on the scale re-
quired to achieve the end SAC visual

low down payments and monthly pay

amply substantiated by recent story
in the official Air Force magazine
and particularly a letter from Col.

Montanans in Congress are at work
trying to land proposed new North
ern Great Plains Soil and Water Con-
servation Research Center for Mon
tana.
Senator Murray made the delega-
tion pitch before the Senate Agricul-
ture Appropriations subcommittee.
A committee of research scientists
advised the Senate group that a facil-
ity is needed in the Northern Great
Plains area to do research on soil and
water conservation problems in the
region. Murray suggested an expan-
sion of the research station at Sidney
would be most economical. He esti-
mated that $4,000 would be enough
to finance the site preparation, plans
and specifications of the buildings
and equipment.
Already, Murray said, similar pro-
gram "has made important advances
in the Southern Great Plains. At the
Amarillo, Texas, research center, i'm
proved methods of benching culti-
waited fields have been worked out.
These methods greatly increase the
soil moisture stored for crop growth
even in years of subnormal rainfall.
Unfortunately, the Southern Plains
methods do not appear to be adapted
to the soil and climate of the Northern
Plains. For this reason, we need to
have similar research going on in the
northern areas"
Murray quoted another researcher
as saying that with good soil and !
moisture practices it should be poss-
ible to produce "a pound of hay from
135 gallons of water and a pound of
beef from 1925 gallons. But, he said,
methods now generally used require
about 1000 gallons per pound of hay,
and 10000 gallons per pound of beef.
The problem is to work out practical
methods that will approach those first
figures.
what we are discussing here is
not just some Statistics" Murray went
on. ''It is the difference between get
ting through the dry years or losing
the crop or the herd. 1t is the differ
ence between healthy family with
children having a chance of proper
or going broke and having

AIRBASE HOUSING

ton of LOGO housing units-360
more than the President requested

Bases.
President Eisenhower recommend
ed 800 units at Glasgow, 400 at Malm-
strom. The House increased this to
500 at Glasgow and $50 at Malm-
strom after the congressional delega-
tion told of the desperate need for
housing in the two cities.
Mansfield asked the Senate Armed
Services Committee to go along with
the House action, saying the addi-
tional units would relieve the con-
gested housing situation at both Glas-
gov and Great Falls"
