WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Records shnW- that the new secre-
tary to Governor Aronson, Chadwick
Smith, is receiving a salary of $500
month. His predecessor, Daryl
Coover. received 1921. AS chairman
of the Unemployment Compensation
Commission, job Smith resigned to
take the one in the Governors office,
Smith was receiving 5000 a month.
In the dying days of a political
career and administration, services to
be performed by a secretary would
be presumed to be less vital than dur
ing the time such as Coover reigned.
Yet the State of Montana is paying
$50 a month more for what should
merely be death watch.
There are few who envision Smiths
job-changing anything but an escape
hatch golly, lousy pun, that :.
but it is a rather expensive subsidy
for the taxpayers to hand over to the
Republican campaign committee.
Unemployment Compensation is go
ing TO be major issue in this cam
paign, and as chairman of the UCC,
Smith was ''hatched" because of the
federal funds involved. Another step
that borders on the politically ques-
tionable is that Smith was appointed
a member of the UCC board when he
moved out as chairman-just to keep
his hand in and keep in touch?

READERS FORUM
XII Network Has Been
Programming Educational
TV For Year and a Half
EDITOR The Peoples Voice:

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
I note with interest the article of
page eight of todays Peoples Voice
aug. 19) concerning Montana State
University, KSMO-TV of Missoula, and
Modern Chemistry of the Continental
Classroom NBC series. In this article
the lead says that this is Montanas
first venture into the field of educa-
tiona1 TV.
1t is a wonderful thing when a Mon
tana TV station and an institution of
higher learning can get together and
present a show such as Continental
Classroom to the public.
Contin entail Classroom draws loyal
audience of viewers who watch the
program to their educational advantage.
We of the XII Television Network
have found this to be true, for over a
year and half ago Montana State Col
lege and KXLF-TV, Butte, and KILL
TV, Helena, programmed Continental
Classroom and carried it through to
completion. MISC gave credit just as
MSU is now doing. Here in Helena, we
found much interest for the program
generated in viewers a good deal
and 90 good deal older than
the college age folks the program is
aimed at. Sincerely-ROB-
ERT e. CARROLL, Program Director,

Tons Of Unfit Food Seized

The Food and Drug Administration
announces that it took 1928 tons of
unfit food off the market during
May. most of which was either con-
taminated flour or contaminated SUI
gar. Other seizures included FL drugs
and devices and IL so-called flood
supplements" that were being pro-
NOTED by false advertising.
Most of the latter were seized for
suggesting that all disease conditions
are due to vitamin and mineral de-
ficiencies and claiming the average
diet must be supplemented with min
eral-vitamin products.

Future Foods May Be
Freeze-Dried

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
In few years, you may be buying
your beefsteak in a plastic package
off the supermarket shelf, and it will
keep indefinitely in the cupboard.
When you prepare it for dinner, you'll
soak it few minutes in water.
The process is called freeze-drying
Perishable food is frozen, put in a
vacuum. where the pressure is so low
that the ice crystals "boil off" with
out becoming liquid. 1t looks like a
dry brittle sponge but is said to taste
better.

"The Real Nixon

Editor, the Peoples Voice:
Recently read new book entitled:
| THE Real Nixon" 1t is termed IAN
| intimate biography" Containing 96
photos and documents from the Nixon
| family files) by the author, a Hun
garian refugee, Mr.. Bella Kornitzer.
| The. book is an unabashed effort to
combat the repulsive, public record of
Dick Nixon for the purpose of further
ing the chances of his election to the
presidency. This book is the family
| approach to creation of the New"
Nixon idea One is supposed to infer
that with such a wonderful family, the
controversial presidential candidate
cam only be right even though his indi-
vidual public record is little short of
abominab1e. 34T
The author relates how Dicks father,
Frank Nixon, became a Republican and,
since it seems to be aus good a reason
as any ever heard, let me quote from
page ~ of the book: sIn Franks youth
there was an incident which, it might
be said, determined the political future
of the United States. My husbands
family were Democrats Hannah told
me. He was a hired hand on a farm
near Macarthur, Ohio, when William
Mckinley came through. town, cam
paigning for governor. Frank owned
the best-1ooking fil1y in the county;
so the town committee had him ride
right behind McKin1ey's carriage Nc
Kinley was impressed by Franks
Deaut1ful morse and, assuming Frank
was Republican, he said he hoped
Frank would continue to vote and work
for the party. This took Frank by sur
prise and, before he could think he
pledged his support He was an active
Republican ever afterward."
In discussing Nixons chances Mr..
korn1tzer writes this gem: MANY vot-
ers are not equipped with the political
sagacity to pierce the fog of accusa-
ton, SANDER and praise, and come up
with a sound decisions. Their interest
Will be focused on whether the candi-
dates overall policies square with
the voters own beliefs and interests
And, no less Significantly the candf-
dates physical images will flash be-
fore the voters as they cast their ball
lots The unreasoning aversion to
Nixon's looks" could again play a
leading role at this turn in his career
Possibly this sounds like superficial
observation, but it can't be disregarded.
His chances may be determined by
whether the Democratic nominee is
better looking. and a better glad
handler than Nixon

Factory workers aren't as large a

once were in the u. S. In the 40
years since 1919, persons employed
in manufacturing have dropped from
1870 of the non-farm workers to

However, most of this happened in
the first 10 years-from 1920 in 1919
to "a % in 1929. In both 1899 and
