were shown only selected areas
"Only the abundance of weeds and
the lack of individual homesteads
stood out in sharp contrast to an
American farmscape," the MISC pro-
fessod points out.
In the Crimea and throughout the
southern republics, Helburn states,
the Lenin doctrine of "single use'
for forest areas apparently is still in
effect and limits the development
and use of the forests.
Electric power seemed to be plenti-
full, according to Hellburn, which
would indicate extensive state de-
velopment.
The most progress in resource con-
servation and development is evident
in the arid or desert regions of Cen
trail Asia. There are irrigation de-
velopments, i m prov cultivation
practices, shelterbelts, and terracing
in evidence, but the higher mountain
slopes which grow forests are still
overgrazed.

BOHEMIAN While the Russians
have vast undeveloped resources,
they do not appear to be doing much
in carrying out conservation prac-
tees on the land they are using.
This is the impression a Montana
State College geographer had after
travelling across the Soviet Union
this past summer.
The geographer, DR.. Nicholas Hell
burn, head of the MISC department
of earth sciences, comes to this con-
clusion as a result of observations
from the air and on the ground by
the party of 15 geographers in his
group.
Helburn, who is accepting speak
ing engagements in Montana on the
subject of his trip, reports that he
saw little development of conserva-
ton measures in many areas of Rus
STA.
While the expansive flat lands of
Central Russia are not subject to
water erosion, the southern portions
of the Steppe showed Outlying. Wind
erosion is problem on the drylands.
In only one place did the geographers
see strip cropping.
Helburn writes in the MONTANA
CONSERVATIONIST that most ex-
perts agree that agriculture has been
neglected in most of the USSR, but
livestock and crops appeared to be
in excellent conditions on the one
Ukraine farm the group visited. But

At the time Montana each year is turning back
thousands of dollars which had been allotted to it by the
federal government for its basic rehabilitation
Why you ask? Simply because state appropriation
is large enough match all available federal matching
funds For example, in this current fiscal year the bureau
appropriation 100000 This about
$171 900 in federal funds matching ratio of 500
federal and 400 To match all available federal funds
worse by 1865 will be expected to parc
pate $3.50 with federal government in sup
port of the rehabilitation program
Meanwhile hundreds of handicapped must be forced
to continue relying families friends and welfare for
assistance and wait for future help in rehabilitation
Not only this a of human resources, but adds
burden 1t well established fact that for
dollar spent the rehabilitation of handicapped
person. he will the government dollars in

MATCHING FUNDS FROM OTHER SOURCES
One way some of these federal funds be used is
through special projects with the local share
of matching funds coming from other For
instance January L. 1861 there will begin vocational
evauaton and testing unit the Montana tuberculosis

prepare selected patients eventual society
The local matching money raised by the Montana
tuberculosis Association and the santarum provides space

University Units
Enrolment Up AZ
Per Cent Over 1859

Enrollments at all units OF the
University of Montana System for
the fall term of 1860 showed an
overall increase of 4.74o over last
year with total of 1888 students
registered on the six campuses this
fall. In addition, there are 685 ex-
tension students and 1912 students
enrolled in correspondence courses.
Actual campus enrollments were
as follows:
Montana State University $3.50
Montana State College 49, 1891
Montana School of Mines - 341
West. Mont. College of Edu. 498
East. Mont. College of Edu. 1881
Northern Montana College : 682
Increases ranged from 1.7% at
MISC, where a reduction of part-time
students was experienced plus an in
crease at the graduate level, to a
$50 increase at Mines and 1890
at Eastern, with both of these insti-
buttons experiencing substantial in
creases in part-time students. Mon
tana State University's resident stu
dent body increased Al 90 although
part-time students dropped 148o, and
2.29o increase took place at West
ern and Northern.

The House of representatives
ECONOMY minded" employment COM
mittee. Frank Hazelbaker (R-Beaver-
head) and Dan Dykstra (R-Lewis u
Clark ran into the political facts OF
life at the Board of Examiners meet
ing Wednesday. Their naive proposal
was to have extra help" in the adj
ministration offer their services to
the legislature for free thus effect
ing a savings in attaches expenses.
Secretary of State Frank Murray
and Attorney General Forrest Ander-
son told the economy kick pair
point blank that the legislature would
receive no personnel or typewriters
from their offices. Quite to the con-
trary, extra help would be hired to
take care of the extra work caused
by the legislature in their respective
offices.
Gov. J. Hugo Aronson, could not
speak for the incoming Don Nutter
but his experience told them that
no help could come from the Gov
ernor's office at that time because
of the increased activity the legisla-
ture fosters.
The recruiting of help from exist
ing departmental offices would be
a demonstration to the lawmakers
that perhaps the budgets could be
slashed. 1t would also be demoralizing
for a department secretary receiving
$3.50 month to work beside the $3.50
legislative secretary. Offices which
receive federal funds could not par
ticipate in the economy plan.

Aronson Bids Farewell
To Board Of Education

''I'm gong to miss this gang, Gov.
J. Hugo Aronson told the Board of
Education ex officio Regents at the
meeting Tuesday. The regents pre-
scented him with a farewell gift of
cuff links and tie clip fashioned in
the shape of oil derricks. Aronson
started his career by driving square
spikes into the derricks in 1915, two
and one half years after he came to
this country from Sweden.
He told the regents that he prob
ably never would have walked on

Labor Fights Sales Tax

AUSTIN, Texas (PAD The
Texas State AFL-CIO has declared
war on a scheme or 200 Dallas
businessmen to launch a campaign
for retail sales tax. Rather than
taxing the states wealth and earn
ings on ability to pay" the bust
nessmen were accused of seeking to
"tax the widows SGT per month
old age assistance; tax the mig
grant farm family with its $500 a
year total income; tax the man who
makes a buck and half an hour
and who already has to work longer
to pay his state taxes than do those
in the executive class"

not elected him Governor because he
had received only eight years of
school.
This was the last Board of Educa-
ton meeting for Aronson and prob
ably the last Governor of Montana
to come up the hard way.
The Missoula Chamber of Com
merce came to the Regents Monday
to endorse the reorganization of the
University system as espoused by
Executive Secretary Russell Barthell
They took exception to the inter-city
squabbling of the units and more or
less challenged Billings G of C to
repeat their efforts to promote East
ern Montana College in the Legisla-
ture.
The Regents blasted the Legislative
Council for reporting in their "blue
book" on education that the twin hat
groups should be separated into two
bodies, one for the University system
and the other to work for elementary
and secondary systems.
Little of the business OF educat-
ing the young came to light at the
two-day meeting because of the
secret committee system now in
use.
The custodial budget committee de-
cided not to form a policy for the
charging of fees at the Boulder Hos
pital and School for the Mentally Re-
tarded. Legislation will be introduced
to cover the topic.
Glen I. Harris, superintendent of
the Great Falls School for the Deaf
and Blind, was given permission to
build $4,000 bedroom addition to
the residence of the head teacher for
the deaf. This action did not need
Board of Examiners approval because
the money is coming from donations
held in trust by the institution.
