troll work are among items Tor which
Montana's BINS would spend more
money next year than President Ell
senhower would.
Speaking also for Senators Murray
and Mansfield, Congressman Metcalf
urged the House Appropriations Com
mittee to restore deep cuts by the
Administration in these programs
during the year beginning next July
II.
s.For years we have been treated
to platitudes about how education
was for children" he said. "And for
years we have received budget recon-
mendations which would provide for
less education for fewer children.
This year is no exception. The Presi-
dent proposed cuts of emore than 209o
each in federal appropriations under
Public Laws 815 and 874, under
which federal aid goes directly to
local school districts for construction,
maintenance and operation-includ-
ing textbooks and teachers salaries
in areas of federal impact, such
as military bases or Indian reserva-
tons" i
Turning to pollution control. Met
calf said for ''the third straight year
Senator Murray, Senator Mansfield
and I, in the continuing fight for
clean water, oppose the Presidents
proposal to reduce by $25 million
the appropriation to help local COM
munities build State-approved sew
age-treatment facilities
"Montana's ALLEGATION this year
was $516,425,' he said. eff the cut
stands, our ALLEGATION for next year /
will be $211, 44O.'' f4 / 4
Metcalf quoted DR.. G.. D. Carlyle
Thompson, executive officer of the
Montana State Board of Health, as
saying that ten Montana communities
are fairly certain to apply for a
total of $769,000 in federal grants |
under this program next year.
To date III of these federal-aidI
projects have been completed in /
Montana, Metcalf said, l"12l more
are under construction, an additional
IA have been approved, 10 more are
in process either in the State Health T
Department or the Public Health /
Services Denver regional office" /
Of the Presidents proposal to chop
the program, Metcalf said: 3sOnce
again, the President is part of a drive
.spearheaded by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers and trade associations represent
ing certain polluting industries-to
cut this program back to the point Of
uselessness, then end it." +
