Astronaut
P|ansChanqed
BY the Associated Press

The Space Agency has de-
cided against firing a Mercury
Astronaut 1900 miles out
across the Atlantic in an Atlas
ballistic missile.
Instead, the first American
space travellers will go from
short-range test flights in
Redstone rockets to full-scale
satellite launchings with the
Atlas ICBM.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration re-
ported this previously in clear
ing up what it called an error
on the part Of its administra-
tor, DR.. T. Keith Glennan,
Sunday.
DR.. Glennan said that in
between the Mercury programs
Redstone and satellite flights
there would be manned sub
orbital test launchings with
the Atlas for a distance of
1900 miles.
This would land the Astro-
naut about a third Of the way
down the Atlantic missile test
range. off Antigua in the
Lesser Antilles, southeast OF
Puerto Rico.
A NASA spokesman said DR.
Glennan erred. The Atlas ride
which would take the Astro-
naut more than 200 miles
above the earth and give him
some IL minutes Of weightless-
ness, was given consideration
but was dropped. the Spokes.
man told a reporter.
Instead, some of the Astro.
nautS will be launched to ar
altitude of 100 miles by a Red
stone rocket, possibly starting
next spring, and will be recov-
cred from the water about 20(
miles down range after about
five minutes of weightlessness

Open on Laos

BANGKOK. Thailand, Sept.
% (AP).-Military leaders of
the Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization opened a conference
here today less than an hour
away by jet from revolt-torn
Laos.
The pro-Communist rebel
lion in Laos is not officially on
the agenda for the 18th SEATO
military advisers conference
but delegates left no doubt the
situation in the strategic Budd-
hist kingdom will be a key
point Of discussion.
Even though not a member
of SEATO, Laos comes under
the protective wing of the
eight nation anti Communist
alliance.
SEATO Secretary General
Pote Sarasin said yesterday
that SEATO would be pre-
pared to consider sending
armed forces to Laos if the
Laotian government requested
aid.
Varied Strength Cited .
Without mentioning Laos.

cif1c are powerful manifestations
of the alliance which my cOun-
try has made with nations in
Asia"
Admiral Felt, who is COM
mander of United States forces
in the Pacific, told the opening
session of the three day con-
ference that an important char
acteristic of SEATO armed
strength is the varied assort-
ment of military assets pos
Sessed by member nations.

ties thus we can devise defense
plans which are appropriate to

Some Western correspond
ents who returned from the

night had described govern
ment reports of heavy fighting
as highly exaggerated. The
government had claimed the
border post of Sam leu

practically unscathed and

saying that it had never been

SO Legislative Record On IL Major Issues

HB 234 proposed that farmer-owned CO.
operatives would have to make annual cash
refunds of all overpayments by the patron
owners, even though the patron-owners might
desire to leave such payments in the co-opera-
tive to provide more working capital or capital
for expanding the number of services they
desired the cooperative furnish them.
HB 234 was defeated 50-31 in the House.
(Note: Freshman Rep. Harball (Lake) re-
ported in the VOICE during the Legislature,
pushed his voting machine button the wrong
way By the time he realized his mistake, the
tally had been made and it was too late for
him to change his "Yea' to a "Nay'O.

Taxing of Farmer Coop Income

strenuous effort made by Rep. Felt
and others to impose the corporation license
tax on the non-existent net income of farmer
owned marketing and supply co-ops. A public
hearing on HB 65-the coop tax bill
brought out that such co-operatives have no
net income; that all overpayments by patron
owners of such enterprises belong to the pa
irons and not the cooperative
Although there are 13 types of businesses
and associations, including labor unions, cham
bers of commerce, rural electric co-ops, build
ing and loans mutual insurance companies,
religious organizations, as we'll as farmer
ops, exempted from corporate license tax, HB
65 would have removed the exempt status of
only the farmer-owned businesses
"Yea" votes were for removing farmer CO.
operatives from the Corporation License Tax
exemption list; "Nay' votes were for retain
ing their long-held exempt status.

the Governor vetoed 228, all hope of making
the big trucks pay their fair share of highway
costs, during the 1859 session, died. The House
refused to be stampeded into adding an extra
penny to the gas tax, thus refusing to widen
the inequity of highway cost responsibility be-
tween autos and the big trucks. Fifty Demo-

Two sessions in a row advocates of estab-
fishing a Wheat Commission have failed to
secure favorable legislative action. Opponents
have each time successfully contended that
the Extension Service and Montana State Col
lege are already carrying on research into i'm
proving wheat strains and that setting up
commission would amount to (1) another state
bureau of doubtful value, (2) creation for
all intents and purposes, of another farm or
ganization subsidized via tax collections. This
years wheat commission proposal HB 251,
called for every grain grower having to pay
one-fourth of a cent bushel tax to finance
the commissions activities. The grain milers
