A CHRONICLE OF BLUNDERs

But one thing has been lacking il
the conduct of our foreign affairs fol
weeks has been something that ne
intelligence agency in the world car
ever supply. It's known as common
sense"
1t is something with which the aver
age American is abundantly provided
but somehow it does not seem to have
trickled up to this Administration
The only explanation for the incred-
IDLE series of mistakes that makes
sense to me is that in the panic of
preparing for a presidential election
we have lost our heads.
Just think back to what we have
done in recent weeks:
tain pressing domestic problems might
make it necessary to absent himself
from the Summit" conference. so
he feels free to send Nixon as his
substitute. This was an obvious
build-up for the Nixon-for-Pre
movement. But Khrushchev quickly
said he would not buy it and asserted,
in typical language, that it was like
sending goat to tend the cabbage
patch"
When called upon to explain this
obvious political gesture, the Presi-
dent resorted to the flimsiest of ex-
plantations: Congress might do some
thing in his absence that requires
veto, so he would have to come home
to study the situation. No one both
ers to answer that all the data and
even the experts could be flown to
Paris.
This was the beginning of our
of the Summit meeting.
Then came the U-2 affair, with out
right lies offered as the first explana-
tion, followed up by what Madison
Ave.-types like to call Operation
Candor". Finally we announce that
we will continue sending spy planes
as long as the Russians don't open
their secrets to us.
If some one of the geniuses in the
had only applied that
of tests-how would we have
reacted if Khrushchev had made a
similar nnouncement?-it would
have been self-evident that we were
making a grievous tactical error.

tenn under which Uncle Sam pays 90
per cent of the cost of the new super
highways, but state authorities man
age the program and do the spending.
FOLLOWED IKE'S POLICY
This weakness in the program
largely resulted from President Eli
senhower's determination to hand
over federal programs to state gov
ernments and private business, ac-
cording 10 an article in the REPORT
Err magazine.
In line with that policy, it says, the
u. S. Bureau of Public Roads was
given "only handful of extra help
to supervise the vast nationwide
highway construction program, and
the state governments mostly turned
over the management job to private
engineering organizations operat-
ing on a "cost-plus" basis, so the
bigger the costs the higher their
profits.
The REPORTER recalls several
other scandals, particularly those re-
sulting from profits made by 'insid-
ers" in sales of land for the high
ways, which have leaked out of this
gigantic program, often called the
biggest public works program in his
tory.
Referring to these scandals, and
the disclosure at his committees
hearings, Blatnik asked: "Are these
taking place ON the
of highway projects around
America 2"
Partly because of such Irregular
ties, the superhighway program is
in serious financial difficulties. To
'bail OUT the program, Eisenhower
is asking Congress to increase the
federal gasoline tax which is the main
source of income for the highway
fund.

Municipal League To Meet
In Helena, June 9, 10, II

Montana Municipal League will
hold its 29th annual convention in
Helena, June 9, 10 and IL, Alfred
F. Klingler, Shelby, league executive
director, has announced.
The league, comprised of repre-
sentatives of city and town govern
ments throughout the state, serves
as a center for promotion and pro-
lection of the interests of municipali-
ties.
High on this years convention
agenda will be development of leg
islative program aimed at giving
municipalities greater authority to
operate their city and town affairs.
The "home rule" bill which has
been presented unsuccessfully to
previous Legislative Assemblies, is
the vehicle whereby municipal au-
thorities hope to gain greater auton-
omy. 1t will probably come up for
considerable discussion aimed at re-
vising it sufficiently to meet major
objections previously put forth when
the bill was under legislative consid-

Missouri River Navigation
Must Be Slack
Type, Coop Man Says

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - (RENS) -
Virgil T. Hanlon, manager of South
Dakota's East River Electric Power
Cooperative, said here recently, eff
there is to be any navigation on the
Missouri River it must be the slack
water type Hanlon made this state
ment at hearing of the u. s. Army
Corps of Engineers.
Last month, Iowa Governor Hershel
Loveless and Ken Holum, executive
director of the Midwest Electric
Consumers Association, discussed the
slack-water navigation problem at a
luncheon meeting of the Electric Con-
sumers Information Committee in
Washington. They also led big Mid
western delegation to the nations
capital to testify before Congress.
Both men stressed the critical need
for economical transportation and adj
ditional low-cost power in the region.
! Hanlon discussed in detail the
amount of water available for use i'm
the Missouri River reservoirs. sThis
is not a fight" he said, between
power generation and navigation; it
is fight between no navigation or
navigation"

Wages Aren't Export
Deterrent

Poor marketing practices have been
termed the major deterrent to u. s..
exports by University of Michigan
expert.
The expert, DR.. Lawrence P. Dowd,
of the university's School of Business,
said in an article that very few
American industries can attribute
loss of overseas markets to their
price structures, and even fewer can
attribute it to wage COSTS
DIR. Dowd pointed out that since
1853, foreign wages have risen as
fast or faster than U. S. wages. "To
charge all the decline in our exports
to high wages is simply lazy mans
excuse" he said.

a TRAGEDY OF ERRORS

Nikita Khrushchev overplayed his
hand. There is no question of that.
No American, even those most criti-
cal of the present Administration,
can find delight in seeing the Presi-
dent of the United States abused,
Inundated, snubbed and dealt with
as if he were defeated enemy.
If, as many suspect, Richard M.
Nixon will spend the months between
now and November running against
the Soviet Premier no one need be
surprised. What else can Nixon do?
But TO delude ourselves into think
ing this is any answer to the debacle
at Paris would be national folly. The
fact is that we played it cute and
we ended up outsnarting ourselves.
The real tragedy of the Summit is
that there was no American position,
nothing had been thought out, our
delegates came ill-prepared and we
had to run for cover when Khrush-
chew rained down his torrent of in
suits.
No matter how the Republican Ma
tional Committee tries to dress it up,
Ike does not come home a conquer
ing hero. Nor is there much to be
gained by telling the world that we
know there is no Saint Nilita. After
all, we knew we were dealing with
the man whom Europeans call the
Butcher of Budapest.
What the whole world hoped for
was that some sort of nnodus vivendi
could be worked out so that the
wealth of nations need not be squan-
dered on H-Bonbs, missiles and the
weapons of war.
When Krushchev started to rage,
someone asked, "Who does he think
he is. Stalin?o What internal pres
sures he has been subjected to we
may not know for years to come.
Whether this presages a revival of
Stalinism inside the Soviet Union we
may know soon enough.
There are those who say that our
intelligence agencies have faltered
badly-that what we really need is |
not SO much U-2 intelligence in the
some down-to-earth intelli-
gence on what's happening inside
Russia.
No one will disagree with that.
Since Stalin's death, Notwithstanding
a considerable relaxation of restric-
tions inside the Soviet Union, we
seem to be less and less informed on
what's going on there. And when we

Shocking Charges at Probe
Huge Highway Program
Held Full Of Corruption

-
WASHINGTON, d. C.-(LABOR)
"A peek under the lid over what
may prove to be one of the biggest
scandals in history was provided at
recent hearings which received little
notice in the daily newspapers. The
hearings were conducted by House
Public Works subcommittee headed
by Congressman John A. Blatnik
(D-Minn). The subject was waste
and corruption in the vast Al 1000
mile federal-state super-highway con-
struction program.
Estimated cost of that program has
nearly doubled from $25 billion in
1856 to $45 billion now, and is still
going up. This is partly for reasons
which a member of the House COM
mittee, Congressman Jim Wright Cd
Texas, said could make the highly
publicized 'payola' seem like a childs
game of marbles in comparison"
WANTS FULL PROBE
Blatnik hopes to show the need for
a full investigation next year by dis
closures such as those made at the
first series of this years hearings.
Among those disclosures were the fol-
lowing:
Under the program, a new super
highway in Oklahoma was conn.,
pleted only last year, but parts of
it already are "crumbling", be-
cause of what committee members
called graft, fraud and misman-
agement."
For example, the committee took
the 13-mile Shelly Bypass, near Tulsa,
Okla, which cost $8.6 million, mostly
contributed by the federal govern
ment. At the hearings, employees of
the Oklahoma State Highway De-
partment admitted the truth of the
following charges:
On orders from their superiors,
they faxed laboratory tests of the
they allowed the contractor to col
Iect pay for materials which were
never delivered or used. This lat
ter, alone, added more than half
million dollars to the cost of the
road, Blatnik said.
After being "repfimanded" by
their superiors for trying to make
the contractor live up to the specifi-
cations for the road, the state en-
ployes further testified, they ceased
their efforts abng that line and let
the contractor get away with almost
anything.
Senatorial charges were made
against Fl. Tom Right, former Okla
noma highway commissioner, and he
took the Fifth Amendment" in re-
fusing to answer the committees |
questions about those charges. They
we're made by Lee O. Downey, part
Ter of a contracting firm in which he |
aid Right was SILENT partner.
CITES DEATH THREAT
Downey told the committee he
secretly split his part of the firms
,rofits with Right when the latter
vas a member of the state highway
commission. Also that he had lied
bout this to Tulsa county grand
ury. The reason why he lied, Downey
estified, was that Right told him che
ould get anybody killed for $500
o $1,000" Some of these charges
we're denied by other witnesses.
Ralph C. Glover, the U. S. Bureau
f Public Roads engineer who was
to supervise and inspect
obstruction of this highway, told the
ommittee he followed the normal
ractice" of letting the state en-
loyes do that job and taking their
vord for it that all was we'll. II
