Name 5 To Advise With
Tax Writers On co-ops

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Members of the House Tax Committee
are looking for more taxpayers, and
they've called five experts to discuss
co-ops with them this fall.
The five are William Warren, dean
of Columbia University's law school;
Samuel Lanahan and Fred Peel, both
attorneys here; Wilfred Rumble, a
st. Paul attorney; and Leo Raskind,
Vanderbilt University law professor.
They'll meet with the House Ways
and Means Committee, November 80.
The committees chairman, Con-
gresham Wilur Mills OZARK. J, says
that the group "will examine our fed
eral income tax laws in the light of
basic principles that should control
an equitable, broad-based tax system,
consistent with the needs of grow
ing economy. More than ITO people
in various fields will advise the COM

State House Beat
FRANKLY SPEAKING

A major Republican fault last Fri
day appeared in the constitutional
form of Montana government. The
fault extends through the judicial and
administrative branches. This slippage
along deep political front has Gre
ated new post. The Associate Gov
ernor manifestation is the result of
the inner mantle pressing upward
through the basaltic layer of the time
between now and granite layer of
the final day for filing for office in
the next election.
Associate Governor Wesley Castles
with his master plan to embarrass the
Democratic congressional delegation
the rejection of the provisions of
Public Law 875-allowed the more
than fifty state and federal officials
to explain what had been done to
meet the recent earthquake disaster.
Up. L. 875 permits the federal gov
ernment to foot the bill for emergency
temporary repairs. This is a purely
administrative form that becomes eff
fective when the Governor makes the
prescribed proclamation.)
Associate Governor Castles had cut
his melon in three parts.
Castles politi-quake included a
fracture from Stamp Collector Hugh
Potter of the Montana Office of Civil
Defense, and the compound structure
fault of the Starlight Governor j.
Hugo Aronson and his assistant, Dar-
rel Coover.
Potter's surprising testimony that
he doubted 100000 damage had been
done was in keeping with the agency
he represents. The Office of Civil De-
fense Mobilization failed miserably in
dealing with the quake. The federal
officials whose names will not honor
with print didn't know anything hap
pened, didn't do anything about it and |
at the meeting admitted that commu- |
nications had not been established |
with the town of Ennis, which was
still in doubt as to the flood danger. |
Madison County Attorney Chester
Jones was quite properly incensed on
this last point.

I have tried to get myself excited

neutral zone around him.
At the same time I don't think
we have anything particular to lose

try.
would like to think we could show
Mr.. K. we aren't afraid of him and
that our people have at least the same
grace of politeness that his people
showed the Nixons. Surely no one in
this country has given the Russian
theology a rougher time than Nixon
has done in the past, and from all
reports they treated him with utmost
courtesy.
And I haven't heard any reports
that because of that Nixon has be-
come a Marxist just an oppor-
tunist.
One of the basic concepts of democ-
racy is the right to protest, therefore
we have to be careful to keep the ac-
tivities of protesting groups in proper
perspective. Under our precious sys-
tenn this right in "inalienable" and
must be preserved and protected. We
should not attempt to curtail the right
of people to protest Mr.. KS visit, be-
cause there are deep emotions and
beliefs involved among the protest
ants. q
However. as long as he has been

nation wants peace and goodwill

mental veteran was asked his opinion
of the engineering and economic FEAST
bility "of building an interstate high
way on the north side of the Yellow
stone river between Livingston and
Billings" and whether such "high-
way would be cheaper than one con-
structed on the south side of such
river.
The legislative committee, headed
by Rep. Truman Bradford (D-Cas-
cade) also inquired whether such
highway north of the river would give
the required service to interstate trav-
cling public; asked questions con-
cerning "the excessive ($1.1 million)
cost of change orders for removal
of unclassified excavation at Spring
Hill on said highway; inquired about
excessive costs of relocating utilities
for such interstate highway on south
side", and raised questions concern
ing the "cost of reconsideration of
east-west route between Livingston
and Billings.
One further question posed by the
committee to Williams asked if saw

dale Avenue at Helena, by utilizing
the excess material from the excavat-
ing of Park Avenue and of Main
Street +. in the expenditure of funds

tered by the Highway Commission?"
REPRaSAL-IN FOUR STAGES
Williams expressed his opinion on
the various points raised, and pre-
sented substantial facts in support |
of each answer given. Shortly there
after, according to his brief, reprisal
steps began being taken against him
by Highway authorities, as follows:
1. His pay check for March was,
for unexplained reasons, delayed;
2. His name was omitted from the
April payroll of the department and
it was necessary to have a supple
mental payroll listing made for him
to get his check;
3. For reasons still not adequately
explained, he was denoted from his
1855 month program engineering
Job to that of Maintenance and Space
Supt. of the Highway building, nom
position, at a salary of
$500 month, effective July I;
4. The fourth and final "unreason-
able and intolerable reprisal", his
'rief continues, came on July 1 when
lie was dismissed from the depart
nent.
Stating he believes "that it is un-
reasonable, intolerable and wrongful
lction for department of the State
# Montana to take reprisal against
n employee who, by reason of

handed to testify to the truth and +
