ment of someone who has just
wandered in off the street.
Bing's next hour-long special
will be shown on the ABC net
work October 5. The show was
in rehearsal six straight days,
through the week end, and goes
before the cameras today.
I watched one Of the final
walkthroughs. That's a sort of
preliminary rehearsal, when
script changes are made, when
the cast is learning where each
should stand at every point in
the proceedings. Those with
lines TO read or songs to sing
move through their PAGES with
out microphones, speaking or
vocalizing but not straining
themselves.
Formal the Same
It's a turbulent scene. and
Crosby. in gray flannel slacks,
business shirt, conservative tie
and bright red baseball cap,
moved through it all calmly
with good humor and as sure
footed as a chamois. All about
him were dancers ]lmberlng
up, singers practicing their
songs. crew. and technicians
measuring distances, adjusting
/ lights, showing huge pieces OF
equipment around on dollies
J The format of the show is
the successful one used in his
two specials last year. Crosby
strolls around a tastefully aus
tere and apparently vast stage
meeting his guest stars anc
singing a long, uninterrupted
/ string of familiar old songs
And there will be a lot Of thai
apparently spontaneous kidding
in the Crosby style, particular
ly with sons Lindsay, Philip
and Dennis.
AS Crosby breezed along, he
occasionally departed from the
lines printed on the cue cards
to add some lighthearted com
ment of his own. Sometimes
he would get little too fun
ny and break up the rest OF
the cast.
Plans Olympic Trip
When it was time to re-
hearse a dance number. Crosby
wandered over to the sidellne!
for cigarette and converse
ton. And conversation witt
Crosby at this moment involves
one subject: sports.

In THE NATION

Few people have a clear picture
of the vast resources that disarma-
ment would release for the devel-
opment of a world at peace. Amer
lea alone is wasting resources on
ornaments at the rate of more
than $40 billion a year-an invest
ment in fear and anxiety which is
costing us $110 million a day,
$4.5 million an hour, $4,000 a
minute, $1,250 second. And
that's America alone. Altogether,
the nations of the world are vast
ing 2.5 times this much. And each
nation says it must do this be-
cause the others are doing it.
This is real wealth that we are
wasting. 1t represents productive
effort that we have been expend-
ing each year for more than a,
decade. 1t is wealth that is ready
for constructive use whenever the
world decides to get together in
peace instead of preparing to
commit suicide.
Perhaps the best way to visual
ize this wasted wealth is to COM
pare it with the comparatively low
costs of peacetime capital i'm
provements that permanently i'm
prove the human condition.

nually over and above what it
costs to have these two million
students go to college in their own
countries. Even if the Russians
contributed not a cent, we could
pay for the program by spending
$37 billion instead of $40 billion
a year on ornaments. And, SO long
as there were million Russian
students on our soil, one could be
certain that neither
country would make surprise at
tack on the other.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

man Johnston ana explains In some
| detail his past political activities.
Warnings from national conservative
publications came during the cam
paign that Republicans were going
to bring their ''big guns" to North
Dakota. and the 'load' the ''big
guns were carrying became evident
only during the campaign.
Victor Johnston, it seems, came to
North Dakota early in May and moved
into a hotel with his aides and in
what Bob Dugan, Editor of the
North Dakota Union Farmer, called
'semi-secrecy", directed the cam
paign.
Johnston's political claim TO fame
is his position as director of the Re-
publican senatorial campaign COM
mittee in Washington, d. c., working
under the chairman of that commit
tee. Barry Goldwater. "History and
general knowledge" says Dugan,
show that Johnston ''master-minded
the Joe Mccarthy campaign for SEN
ator in 1916" and subsequently was
MCOdIUlly ccOIoCdIlI.
1t was under this mans guidance
that the fred smear" senatorial cam
paigns against Carol of Colorado.
O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Murray of
Montana and Douglas of Illinois were
carried on in 1854. Few Montanans
need to be reminded of the 1854 Sem
ate race here and the tactics that
were used.
After the lack of success of the
Johnston tactics in 1854 he was kept
under wraps to some extent in '56
and '58. Success in North Dakota,
political observers believe, would
have meant much stepped-up cam
paign of red-smear in at least eight
farm belt states for the general cleo
ton of 1860.
Fabulous amounts of money are
spent for the Johnston-type cam
paigns and many believe it comes
from coil sources.
Encouraging is the lack of success
of the tactics used by these people
and especially encouraging is the
evidence that their tactics did not
work in North Dakota. However, with
the tagging Republican popularity
forecast in 1860, and desperation be-
ing the better part of political smear
tactics, the North Dakota expose
should put the people of Montana on
heir guard.
For many months now, parading
across the face of Montana have been
speakers indulging in the tactics of
The Johnston school of politics. These
people could well be, and many be-
ieve they are, laying the ground
work for the blast that will come the
loser we get to November.

The fact that the Blatnik Commit

: tereSting old places in the county,
some Of which have since been
destroyed. She collected as much
OF the history of each one as she
could find. She now has between
go and IS different homes with adj
