The people's voice., 1959-12-25

A story out of United Press Inter.
national early this week tells of the
editorial advisory board of MON
TANA. MAGAZINE OF WESTERN
HISTORY deciding to exercise some
control over the publication.
The meat of the story seems to be
objection by certain forces within
the board to the name of Richard L.
Neuberger, senator from Oregon, be-
ing listed as northwestern regional
editor.
This publication of the State His
torical Society is one of the outstand-
ing publications in its field in the
nation.
What a blow to history that the
chief objection should be from the
Butte board member. retired Mon
tana Power Company official, based
on 'T don't like Neuberger".
Neuberger is a political figure. The
Oregon Senator has been a prolific
writer on the Pacific Northwest. He
made better living as traveller and
writer than he does as u. S. Senator.
He was western correspondent for
the New York Times for eight years.
he may not basically be a
historian he is contemporary writer
recording material from which his
tory will be compiled. He has spent
time writing about the
Alaskan Indian and has vast exper-
ence and understanding of the re-
gion.
The sad part of this whole matter
S that none of these things probably
lave any bearing on the controversy
hat has developed.
1t seems redundant to even men
ion that history can hardly avoid
,eing controversial-and strange
ttitude in America today tends
oward attempting to assure that our
uture history will record little of
ontroversy.
Neuberger's sin, alas, is his poll
cal party, his stand ON public power
nd perhaps his religion.
Then there have been the articles
