Pedro Ramos from talks and
submitted Kemmerer. This
prompted the Dodgers to yank
McDevitt and replace him with
Labine. The veteran right
handler had a 5-10 record last
season.
Despite the prolonged verbal
jockeying, Griffith appeared op-
timistic that the Senators
would hit it of with the
Dodgers either at the minor
league meetings here or at
major league gatherings next
week in Miami Beach. Bavasi
seemed to be impatient with
the constant chatter, accom-
panied by no action, and may
be inclined to break off talks
unless there is a meeting of
minds today.
The Senators have rejected
an offer of $25,000 for ASpro-
monte from Cleveland. Instead
they have offered Kemmerer
and Aspromonte to the Indians
for Second Baseman Billy
Martin, but that was Stunned
by General Manager Frank
Lane.
The Tigers and the Cardi-
mails both sought SieverS in
talks with Griffith and Lava
getto yesterday, but all clubs
admitted after those chats that
there's no chance of making a
deal.
Griffith said that the Tigers
wouldn't give up Outfelder
Charley Maxwell, while the
Cardinals wouldn't part with
either Second Baseman Don
Blasingame or First Baseman-
Outf1elder Bill White.
Lane said he wants Ramos
and will give up Shortstop Ray
Webster, in whom the Senators
have expressed interest, plus
"one of our promising young
pitchers and an outfielder. "

AS presented to the Senate
for final passage consideration,
after having been given tenta-
tive approval Monday, the bill
would have extended from %
to 25 weeks the maximum pc
riod an unemployed worker
could receive benefits. The
maximum weekly benefit would
have been increased from $32
to $35.
Sub. HB 19 would also have
repealed the 1858 amendments
which dropped employer pre-
miums under experience rating
to a minimum of five mills. The
bill proposed a return to the
10-mill minimum authorized by
the 1947 amendments which in
stituted the experience rating
for figuring employer
contributions into the fund.
In recommending the above
Clark stated "the ex-

Fifteen Senate Democrats, led
by Senate Majority Leader
Dave James, repudiated most
important plank of their party's
1858 platform Wednesday aft
ernoon when they voted to kill
legislation providing moderate
improvements in unemploy-
ment compensation. The bill,
Sub. HB 19, went down by a
tally~of 81 to 23, with 16 Re-
publicans joining the Is Dem
ocrats in opposition.
Sub. HB 10 was ahead by
two votes, 1910, when the Ma
jority Leader voted. Up to that
point, only three Democrats
had detected. After James
vote, at least five other Demo-
Gratis who ordinarily could have
been expected to uphold the
party's platform, followed his
lead in opposing passage, with
the bill killed as a result.
The bill, after amendment in
the Senate Relief & Social Sc
curity Committee, was termed
by committee chairman Clark

Four Tax Measures May Yield
STA Million Next BienniUm

A special order of business for four
tax measures lasted two hours on
Wednesday, most of the time being
used to argue whether the measure
to increase the tax on beer should
include a regulation as to size of a
beer can.
The regulation would have pro-
tected Montana breweries, but it was
argued we can not build walls and
keep others out. The regulation was
amended out.
Without undue exertion the House
closed loopholes in the corporation
license tax by disallowing the exemp-
tion for federal taxes, and disallow-
ing as a cost of doing business any
salaries paid to people not paying
income tax in Montana.

EQUALIZATION, PRIMARY
PURPOSE OF W-D

Wood said weight-distance was pri-
marily an equalization bill, and in
come was secondary. Republicans
pleaded" and ''implored" House
members to search their conscience
and not defeat the GVW, and each
time the plea was made the bill lost
more votes.
The first tally on GVW was a 42-42
vote. Chairman of the committee of
the whole, Fred Barrett (D-Liberty)
cast his ballot against it making it
z2 for the bill and 43 against.

Liquor Dealers
Again Thwarfed

Whether the liquor interests or
the state should control the retail
liquor trade, was debated, when a
Ways and Means Committee "do not
pass" report was overturned in the
House, Monday. The 43-page bill was
sent to printing, in spite of warnings
that it was the 43rd day and Printing
was hard pressed to get bills out, only
to be defeated Wednesday by three
votes in committee of the whole.
Liquor interests presented the meas
ure as a revenue bill and said it would
raise as much as 100000 more a
year for the state. Opponents said
liquor interests were trying to get
their foot in the door.
Ronald Holtz (D-Cascade) said
liquor interests figures "did not add
up", and their statement that it would
put money in the treasury may be
true, but they didn't say whose
treasury.

siIieosis Comp. Bill
Approved By House

"The ACM, in order to make prof
its is attracting miners to Montana
who have silicosis", Dale McGarvey
(D-Flathead) contended Wednesday
in support of what he called a "true
silicosis bill", HB 397, which passed
the House 62-33.
He said 46 states in the Union have
occupational disease legislation, so
now these miners are coming here
and when they can no longer work
they become burden on the general
taxpayer instead of the industry
which causes the disease.
The Flathead representative said
silicosis is costing Montana taxpayers
a million dollars every biennium, and
this cost should be borne by the in
dustry.
He said, you don't get silicosis
walking down the street, you get
it working in the mines.
The bill did not include any other

would be affected, and, if it passed
the states contribution to Public
Welfare would be substantially re-
luced in the years ahead.

School Bill,
A Workable
Compromise

Fred Barrett (D-Liberty), chair
man of the Education Committee in
the House, presented HB 255, the
school foundation program, Wednes-
day morning to an almost unanimous
body.
Minority Leader Gerard (R-Madi-
SOM supported the measure as a
"sincere effort to meet increasing
enrolment and our growing school
system. He regretted the program
could not be raised further, and
said ''this is the best we can do now".
Barrett, in explaining the bill, said
was an increase of the budgeting
powers of the school boards of $3.50
and was an attempt to equalize two
extremes of thinking. those who
wanted to raise it to TO and those
who didn't want to raise it at all. He
called the bill "a workable comprom-

bills were part of some 81 bills, many
of them controversial, that were con-

lasted until l :45 am. for those who
went by clock time. For the legisla-
tors, the House clock was covered
at midnight, "let's pretend meas
ure to get around the II o'clock dead
line.
At 4 80 pm, after two hours of de-
bate and parliamentary maneuvers,
the GVW, HB 269, had been throttled
by three tally votes and a roll call.
The weight-distance tax bill, Sub.
HB 228, passed gneral orders and
went to third reading before the GVW
was considered. The Democratic ma
jority of 81 were able to muster 48
votes on trial run tally in commit
tee of the whole.
Weight-distance has been an in
ner party issue for Democrats for
two full years, and following the
1857 Legislature became the We
hicle for defeating a state chairman

creases".
Their opposition came shortly
after they voted for a 7.2 million
dollar increase in the school foun-
dation program.
Pat Gilfeather (D-Cascade) said
disallowing the federal exemption
equalized the tax, between domestic
and foreign corporations.
A companion bill set the tax for
corporations with $4,000 net in
come or less at A per cent. Above
$4,000 the tax remains at per
cent.
The fourth bill discussed, Glib 315) !,
was the personal income tax increase
which was cause for political debate.
Republican spokesman Gerard pro-
tested they could not properly con-
slider revenue measures without know
ing something about what the appro-
priations were going to be. He asked
for target" at which they could
aim in considering revenue.
Macdonald gave Gerard figures
on increases above the 5 million dol
lar deficit as follows:
$7.2 million for school foundation
program;
So million for custodial institutions
and.
$1.5 million for the University Sys-
tenn.
He did not tabulate the amount
of increase for state departments, but
said there would be some.
Gerard accepted the target, but

posed the increases in taxes.

Rockefeller Points Out US. Goal of
 Universal Justice

LOS ANGELES, R nm New York Governor Nelson A. Rocke- feller said yesterday that the United States has. a higher goal than frustrating the ambitions of the Soviet Union.
 That goal, he said, lis to make sure that the emerging interna- tional order will serve, indeed will save, the aspirations of all mankind for a life of freedom, dignity and justice"
 Rockefeller - widely mentioned as a possible candidate for the Republican Presidential nomina- tion but still not ready to con- firm or deny it - arrived here to open a fast-paced, four-day speak ing tour of the west.
 In a speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, he said:
 "The tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union should not and must not obscure our awareness of the great and affirmative challenge before us, and the resisting of So- viet aggression is only part, a necessary but a negative part, of our great task as a nation.
 'We are not simply striving as nation to heal the wounds opened by the so-called cold war. We are striving to make man him self - the commonwealth of na- tions - healthy and strong. :.
 Our supreme purpose is not to defeat the intentions or the am bitions of others. Our supreme purpose is to struggle to achieve a world that respects our com mon heritage of belief in dignity and freedom of all peoples"

Begged Down
 Berry Shipments To Get Fast Check

WASHINGTON, R-The events that have raised the cranberry from the bog to the nations head lines spotlight the power of the government in guarding the na- tion's food supply.
 For half a century this power has existed, but the cranberry episode" as Secretary of Welfare Arthur s. Flemming calls it, marks one of it's most sweeping applications.
 Formal court actions, filed this week in San Francisco, asked seizure of two small shipments - a total of IA tons --- of allegedly contaminated West Coast cram berries. But the incident is affect ing, at least temporarily, an en- tire crop.
 There were these developments:
 l. Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc, a major grower cooperative, says it is moving quickly to assay crops grown in Massachusetts, Wisconsin and New Jersey, about which no question was raised, as well as those in the West Coast. It hopes to clear uncontaminated cranberries of suspicion in plenty of time for Thanksgiving Day dinners. Expanded forces from the Food and Drug Administra- ton also were checking the berries.
 2. The Army and Navy sus- pended use of cranberries grown in Washington and Oregon, but will permit use of those it can prove grew elsewhere.
 3. The New Jersey Farm Bur eau said it will seek government payments to farmers for sales they have lost as a result of the controversy.
 4. The National Grange, meet ing in Long Beach, Calif., de- manded that federal officials ap- pear and explain why the crack down was ordered.

New w. German Radio Will Hinder Talks, Say Russ

MOSCOW, R - The Soviet Union told the Western Allies to- day that West German plans to build a new radio station in West Berlin may hinder negotiations on the city's future.
 The Soviet government, in a protest note, charged setting up the radio would be unlawful and was designed to "step up subver- sive activity and hostile propa- ganda.'
 The protest, quoted by Moscow Radio, was sent to the United States, Britain and France, which share control of West Berlin.
 The Soviet move was sparked by proposed legislation by West German radio and television po- licy. The plans include a trans mitting station, Deutschland Funk, in West Berlin.
 The radio proposal is contained in draft of a new West German radio and television law It has been approved by the cabinet of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer but has not yet gone to Parliament

ROOtin' TOOtin' !

AUSTIN, Tex, lR - A football fan who didn't like the way an other was cheering shot down the object of his ire in full view of about $500 fans at a football game Wednesday night.
 Charlie Coleman, 25, from San Antonio, was hospitalized in ser ious condition with two pistol bullet wounds.
 Another San Antonio man, 35, was arrested, but use of his name is not privileged in Texas. Both are Negroes.
 The men were watching a high school football game from the sidelines.
 Police said if the two bullets had missed Coleman they would have gone into the packed stands and struck in an area mainly filled with children.
