Department officials said the cost
of maintaining modest but ade-
quate" living standard has risen 1919
since the last study was made in
1851. Half this increase resulted from
an increasing number of goods and
services that people in the U. S. con-
slider basic. Initiation accounted for
the rest.
On the day the Labor Departments
study appeared, "a House-Senate con-
ference committee couldn't agree
whether the minimum wage should
be $1.15 or $1.25 an hour. Assuming
a 4O-hour, so week year at the mimi
mum wage, worker would earn
$4,000 at ONE rate and $4,000 at the
other.
Thus, u. S. worker would need
to spend two or three years at either
minimum wage to assure his family
of a modest but adequate" living
for one year.

State House Beat
frankly SPEAKING

There was, frankie the Freeload.
err. big as life and twice as thirsty at
the Montana Licensed Beverage Asso-
citation convention held in the Helena
Civic Center bar-ballroom this week.
After tilt with the press and the
municipal authorities MLBA decided
to donate drinks to one and all.
United Press International carried
a story of the dealers difficulties, re
porting that Helena police chief Don
Raw had explained that MLBA did
not have to transfer license from
one of the local bars at considerable
expense $4,000 if they gave the
stuff away. The Liquor Control Board
said they had no interest if there
was no money changing hands. Origin
ally MIBA had planned to sell the
liquor to thirsty conventioneers.
Bob Blair, Billings, president of
the association, deplored the unfavor-
able press because the proceeds of
the drinks were going to charity,
and because after all the hall cost
fifty dollars a day.
This very unusual power of the
press gave the saloon owners free
access to their own donations.
While l loaded up on the spiritual
aspect of this groups endeavors, the
questions of increased membership
and dues were deliberated.
Every one of the speakers told
the saloon owners how they were GO
ing to have to shape up. Things were
so tough that you had to have photo
of finger prints before you cashed
a check. The cash registers supposedly
are knock-down proof-and the liquor
dispenser gadgets are calibrated to
the sixteenth of an ounce to overcome
the shaky wrists of bartenders.
Liquor is liquid money read the
slogan on the wall. There was lap
ping up that free money.

Cost Of Modest But Adequate
Living Rises 40% Since 1851

WASHINGTON, D.. C.-(CNS)-
To maintain "a modest but adequate
living standard" a city family of
four must spend about $4,000 year,
the Labor Department reports.
The exact figure ranges from
$3.50 in Houston to $6,567 in Chi
cago and somewhere in between for
the other Is cities surveyed.
This family includes the 38-year-
old husband, his wife who holds no
job outside the home, 13-year-old
son. and am 8-year-old daughter. If
the wife works out-and 5000 of the
married women under 81 do work
outside the home-then of course ex-
penses would be more.

WILL THE DEMOCRATS
EXPLOIT THE ISSUE?

| 1t is regrettable that the story OF
Mitchell and Martin broke in the
midst of a hot, national political cam
paign. There are undoubtedly Re-
publicans who feel that the haunting
attitude of Chairman Walters of the
Un-American Activities Committee is
his way of getting back at the COP
for the way Mccarthy and company
behaved in the days of Alger Hiss and
others.
I am inclined to doubt that this
was Walters motive, but the COP
may feel guilty enough about its own
past to attribute such motives to him.
The grave danger, however, is that
other Democrats will use the case to
poke fun at such nti-Communist
''watchdogs" as Vice President Nixon
and ask, tongue-in-cheek, "How could
such things happen in Republican
Administrations"
1t would be great tragedy if the
Democrats took this line, tempting as
it might be politically.
We would do we'll to remember that
many of the excuses during the Nc
Carly era resulted from the fact that
some distinctly anti-civil ibertarian
security legislation was recommended
during the Truman era. The Demo-
Gratis, who had resisted so long, sud-
denly got scared and knuckled under
to the COP Neanderthals.
If the Democrats yield to the
temptation to do the same thing now,
the Republican resistance may col
lapse even more quickly. The linger-
ing effects of new wave of Nc
Carthyism might be felt long after
this campaign is over.

Man-Mad Drought

lures dry spells" is spelled out by
Robert L. Ross, range conserva-
ZIONIST with the U. S. Soil Conserva-
ton Service, in the current edition
of the MONTANA STOCKGROWER.
He urged ranchers to maintain
good grass and mulch.

made throughout Montana show that
the water intake rate and pounds of
vegetation per acre were usually twice
as much for range in good or excellent
condition than range in poor or fair
condition.

THE GHOST OF JOE MCCARTHY
Nothing has stirred this blase. town
quite so much since Sputnik went
into outer space as the press confer
ence held in Moscow by William
Mitchell and Bernon F. Martin, the
two National Security Agency ode
fectors". S ~ ~
How did these two men get into
suchga confidential agency? Had the
FBIsor any other of our intelligence
services, ever really checked or passed
on their background? Did they enter
the agency as Soviet spies, or were
they genuinely shocked when they
got look at our counter-intelligence
activities?
Spying is dirty business, whether
practiced by our enemies or by our
friends. Yet we live in the sort of
world where ultra-efficient espionage
methods seem necessary for national
survival At least we assume this is
true.
When it became clear at the begin
ming of the summer that Mitchell and
Martin had become turncoats, our bu-
reaucrats did what bureaucrats al
ways do. They passed the two men off
as ssjunior mathematicians'' who knew
no secrets and were incapable of do
ing this nation any military harm.
Then came the Moscow press con-
ference, with their hints that others
in the USA may also be contemplate
ing walking the path of treachery.
And the reaction was just what you
might expect it would have been.
The House Un-American Activities
Committee, which apparently knew
nothing about these two men, sudden
ly jumped into action. 1t began de-
handing personnel data" on them
and their friends. Its chairman got
out statements about how other fed
eral agencies had warned one of the
men might be homosexual.
The situation seemed too serious,
however, for newspaper editors to
pay much attention to what the I'm
American Activities spokesman were
saying. The stories were buried, until
finally there was the usual sensa-
tional charge that was bound to make
headlines.
A representative of the committee i
began to talk of 1000 security
risks still holding jobs in federal
agencies. There were demands that
these names be turned over to the
committee, request which the White
House rejected. AS stated by David
w. Kendall, the Presidents special
counsel, the data ON these so-called
risks was unevaluated and there had !

They'd Rather Ignore
This Fact

Electric Consumers Information Comm
Commonwealth Service, Inc, an
engineering and consultant firm spe-
cializing in utilities, has come up with
an interesting finding--one which,
according to NEW YORK TIMES
writer Gene Smith, ''investor-owned
utilities would probably rather ig-
more"
The finding: The greatest per cap
tia sales of electricity in the 1854
1859 period 'were scored in states
Boosting huge public power projects
or where governmental agencies are
major power users"
While sharp variations in growth
rates were noted among the states,
every state registered a gain. And
total kilowatt hour sales to all Gus
toners in the U. S. rose by $3.50
from 1854 to 1859. Twenty-one states
had gains greater than the 52.5%
national figure. Top gamers, and their
percentage increases, were Ohio, up
1850; Florida, up 98.7%; Wyo-
ming, up 92.7R; and Arizona, up
1920.
National average for sales per cap
tia in 1854 was 2,549 XVIII. BY the
end of 1869, this had increased about
40Ge, to 1858 XVIII.

womens ski team, going into action against the

AIoHllhheu from rage ~
this, we are told in the
words Of Msgr. Paul Hanley
Furfey of the Catholic Uni
yersity of America is that
few American Catholic lead
ers have emphasized the SUI
p%ernatural and theological
teaching on Labor which the
Papal announcements con.
tain"
Msgr. Furfey's point is GER
tainly worth considering. for
it may very well be that Cath
Ollie leaders by and large have
placed insufficient emphasis
on the strictly supernatural
and theological teaching of
the social E~ncyclicals.
But, whether they have or
not, the fact of the matter
is that Labor unrest, strikes,
violence, etc." have substan-
TALLY decreased since Msgr.
Furfey originally raised this
question more than 20 years
ago. My authority for the lat
ter statement is not the Cath
Ollie press or any particular
segment thereof, but the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics of the
US. Department of Labor,
which | have always found to
be free from the faint of
special pleading and from the
stigma of bias"
MAY NOTE, in conclu-
sion, that the editors of The
Wsnderer, in my opinion,
have performed a useful serv-
ice in raising the question as
to whether or not the Catho-
lie press is reporting labor
news effectively. My only re-
gfet is that they didn't an
swer the question with great
er precision ard accuracy.
It's much too important a
question to be disposed Of
off-the-cuff, so to speak, with
an all embracing yes or
no"
