Backed By Mine-MiII

Cong. Lee Metcalf and four
other Democratic candidates
for major political offices this
week have been recommended
for support at the November 8
general election, by Montana
Mine-Mill rank-and-file legis-
lative committee, Ernest Salvas,
Butte, committee chairman, re-
ports.
The committee met in Helena last
Saturday.
In addition to backing Metcalf for
United States Senate, the legislative
arm of Montana's non-ferrous metals
workers also recommended election
of Arnold Olsen, first district Con-
gress; Leo Graybill, Jr., second dis
trict Congress; Lieut.. Gov. Paul Can
non for Governor, and Sen. III. III.
Anderson for Lieut.. Governor.
Endorsed for Associate Justice on
the non-partisan judicial ticket was
James Freebourn of Butte.
In announcing it's recommended
tions, the committee released the fol-
lowing statement:
GA complete study and analysis
has been made of the candidates prev
ious records and their political party
platforms, in terms of potential adj
ministrative and legislative action.
This study was made on behalf of
all Montanans, together with the rank
and file union members. The results
of this study and analysis makes it
clear that all of the Democratic Party
candidates be recommended to our
members, their families and friends
for support in the November general
election.

where.
The exposure came about when
Shacklette, pursuing persistent con-
tention of Livingston area people that
the sewer was not in, convinced the
Highway Department that the only
way to settle the matter was to dig.
The Highway Department paid
100000 for the lots on the basis
of statements of out of appraisers
who assumed" that sewer and water
were in place, putting the subdivision
in the category of improved lots"
The digging showed ''hop-scotch''
placement of pipes which would be
useless as a sewer system. The pipe
was not connected to the city sewer.

for Congressman Lee Metcalf, former
Attorney General Arnold Olsen and
Great Falls attorney Leo Graybill,
Jr., in the Senate and Congressional
faces.
"In the race for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, our study of
the candidates records sharply re-
veals that Democratic candidates Paul
Cannon and Henry Anderson have
consistently voted for and supported
legislation and programs in the fields
of taxation, education, agriculture
and highways to the benefit of all
Montanans. 1t also reveals that the
opponents of Cannon and Anderson
have consistently voted for and sup
ported special corporate interests in
these fields.

Congress may have rejected med

are So nations in the world which
provide such care.
The first government health in

type of government health and ma

Anne Forand and himself, Metcalf
said that very small start had been
made in the recent Hbobtailed' ses-
sion of Congress toward providing
health care for the aged. The Freer-
Kerr bill, he pointed out, will help
to give better care for the elderly
who can pass "means" test "a Sec
ond cousin of an oath of poverty !,
once enabling legislation is passed
by the various states.
But, the equally bob-tailed health
legislation passed by the short ses-
sion, will meet only minor part of
the problem. What is needed, he
emphasized, is hospital-health care
financed through Social Security, with
employer and employee alike paying
into the fund during the employees
working years. The chamber Of COM
merce, he pointed out, says such a
system of health care would be 'com-
pulsory'', would not permit the indi-
vidual to decide for himself whether
or not he wants to pay added taxes
for such coverage. Federal grants

"CLARIFICATION" JUST
REINSTATEMENT

The Blackfeet Tribal Council was
most interested to learn in the article
'sIndian Children Entitled to Free
School Lunches" that the "misunder-
standing about the recent opinion
of the Attorney-GeneraPs office on
the use of P.L. 874 funds has been
Clarified. AS a participant in the
Tribal Policy Board conference
with members of the Attorney Gener-
aPs staff, left the meeting with the
opinion that if any misunderstanding
was evident in that meeting, the mis-
understanding was on the part of
those representing the Attorney Gen
erals office. This so-called "clarifi-
cation was nothing more than re-
statement of the very policy which
created the problem in the first place.

plified the fact that this "clarifica-

talk, and double talk of the type which
my people and l highly resent. The
Attorney Generals representative
stated that PL. 874 funds could be
used for the school lunch program in
the general fund budget. The italics
are mine. What does this mean to us?
1t means that our Indian children, if
they are to receive "free" school
lunches, must sacrifice a portion of
the money intended for the mainte-
nance and operation of our schools.
This has never been the case in our
district before. Furthermore, the tax
payers of our district have never
borne, from local school taxes, the.
cost of feeding the INDECENT Indian
children. Under the Johnson 'Malley

legislation, he noted, is in no way
"non-compulsory" so far as taxpayers
are concerned.
In reply to a C.ofC. question ask

of the assumption the program isn't

that means we can do what we
like with them.
Neither side mentioned any
specific power. But it is clear
that the Cypriots have America
in mind.
Idea Not Appealing
The Royal Air Force base at
Akrotiri has a 9,000-foot run
way, the longest in the Middle
East, and it can accommodate
any military plane in the world.
The Cypriots are afraid Britain
may turn it over to the United
States one day. and that their
island win become a base for
United States atom bombers
without their having anything
to say about it.
Some of them believe Britain
may have already had talks on
this subject with the United
States Government. Although
the present Cypriot leaders are
not firmly on the side of the
West, this idea does not appeal
to them.
If the birth of tie Cyprus
Republic is held back over the

Cyprus will worsen. Already

Laid to MANAGERS

JOHANNESBURG, South At
RIGA. July l (AP)-A magis-
trate ruled today that the
January 81 Coalbrook mine
disaster which took 437 lives
was "due to negligence"
Magistrate P. ]. Van Heer-
den. who conducted an inquiry,
found the cave-in was due to
negligence and wrongful acts
and omissions of the present
consulting engineer, the gen.
eral managers and managers
and assistant managers, and
other managers employed at
this colliery." The negligence
was attributed to these exec
utiyes personally and through
their servants and agents. /"
1t was the worst mine dis
aSter in South Africa's history.
Today's ruling said the en-
tombed miners-6 whites and
431 Negroes-died from "mul-
tiple injuries due to their being
crushed by a fall of ground and
a stroke or lack of oxygen"
Since the bodies were not
recovered. the inquiry decision
is not regarded as final. The
case was given to the state at

Bus Drivers
End Strike
In New York

NEW YORK, July l (AP).-
Drivers who staged a day
wildcat bus strike against New
York's largest private transit
firm voted unanimously today
to return to work.
The action came after many
of the rebellious drivers all
ready had taken their vehicles
back to the streets.
The collapse of the walkout
had been predicted by union
officials, who had denounced
the rank-and-file action as un-
authorized and the work of
"crackpot leaders"
About 200 men voted the re-
turn to work after being ad-
vised to do so by one of their
strike chieftains, Peter Blu
menauer. AS their meeting
ended the group walked to a
garage to start driving buses
out.
The tieup had scrambled
transportation for thousands,
but had caused no major hard
ship.
The strike developed from
the city's plans to convert two
more avenues-Third and Lex
ington - to one-way traffic
starting July IT. The change
over will cause the transfer OF
II drivers of Fifth Avenue
Coach Line, Inc, from the ON
nibus division of the surface
transit division. The strikers
say the n men will lose in both
wages and seniority.

ROCKEFELLER IN

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
today discussed his pro-
posal for creation of a

President in terms of a
mythical African utopia
named "Ruritania" - for
security reasons.
When the New York
Governor was questioned
by Senator Mundt, Repub-
hcan Of South Dakota, on
whether the President or
the first secretary would
preside at meetings of the
National Security Council,
Chairman Jackson of the
Senate Subcommittee on
National Policy ruled him
out of bounds. He said he
had agreed with President
Eisenhower that there
would be no discussion of
National Security Council
affairs at public hearings.
Senator Mundt quickly
changed his question to
make it refer to the Ma

Congress Pension
Measure Passed
By the Associated Press

The Senate yesterday sent
to President Eisenhower a bill
slightly liberalizing the re-
tirement system for members
of Congress and their employees.
Under the bill a member or
empleye WHO had served long
enough to ,e eligible for the
top retiremt mt payment - 80
per cent of his highest salary
could use his contributions
to the retirement fund after
that to buy an additional re-
tirement annuity for himself.
Thus he could exceed the 80
per cent limit.
At present, the member or
employe when reaching the top
limit continues to contribute to
the fund from his salary, but
this does not add to his an
nuity.
Another provision would per-
nit members of Congress to
retire at so years of age on a
reduced annuity, but they
would be required to have been
under the civil service retire
ment fund 20 years, including
10 years service as a member.
The present limit is so years
of age after 10 years member
service.

FISCAL
ST Million Payment
Viewed Unlikely

In a statement opposing the
BILL Senator Morse said his
objection is rooted in the sales
tax philosophy per Sc"
1T certainly, therefore, is
just as strong against an
increase in the existing levy
which. in my judgment, should
be abolished" he said.
Asks Higher Payment
The Senator said the answer
to the Districts revenue prob
lens is an increase in the Fed
eral payment to the District.
Other witnesses who opposed
the sales tax bill were j. c.
Turner of the Greater WASH
ington Central Labor Council,
and Mrs. Benjamin Schiller of
the District League of Women
Voters. Mrs. Gordon Van San
ford of the District Congress
of Parents and Teachers, said
taxes should be increased only
if the full Federal payment is
appropriated and these in
creases are reflected in improve
mentS to the school system.
Support for the sales tax bill
came from William H. Press of
the Washington Board of
Trade, oscar l. Dodek, presi-
dent of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, and
Allen Jones. jr., representing
the Hotel Association OF Wash
ington. The aShingtonl
Board of Trade and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers AS
sociation had opposed the sales
tax bill at the House District
Committee hearing.
John S. Cockrell of the
washington Restaurant Asso-
citation spoke in opposition to
an increase of from 2 to 3 per
cent on restaurant meals.
Early in the hearing, Sena-
tor Frear commented that he
normally" does not support a
sales tax but that the situation
in Washington is somewhat
different because of its great
influx of "tranSientS." Some of
these visitors are here to lobby,
the Senator said, "and I am not
opposed to them paying little
tax"

committee until Congress re-
turns in August. I

S4.5 Million Available
The Commissioners proposed

cent raise in the real estate
rate. The six other tax m
crease proposals require con-
gressional approval.
In his statement, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said the city has only
about $4.5 million available

spending need of about SIT
million. The 712 per cent SAL
ary raises would cost the city

all in all, is preferable. He
added, however; that the com
missionerS do see certain ad-
vantages in a sales tax in
crease, including the fact that
this levy hits not only District
residents but also suburbaniteS
and visitors.
Warns Of Danger
The Commissioner went on
to say that the city still dis
likes the 'regresSive impact"
of the sales tax increase along
with ''its potentially adverse
economic effects on local busi-
neSses. in view of the trend to
SUBURBAN shopping and the
absence of a sales tax in Vir-
gina"
Mr.. Mclaughlin added, how
ever. that in view of the House
approval of Mr.. MeMillan's
measure. and recognizing that
the final decision is a legisla-
tive matter, "the commission
ers do not oppose the sales
tax If that be the will of Con-
gress."
Mr.. Mclaughlin said it also
should be borne in mind that,
if the sales tax increase is
adopted, the commissioners
program could be held in abey-
ance and adopted later if
needed.
