Wednesday filed his nominating pc
tition for Railroad and Public Service
Commissioner. He seeks the office
now held by Austin Middleton, 78,
whose term expires next January.
His father, Lou Boedecker, was elect
ed Railroad and Public Service Com
missioner in 1856 but died before
assuming office.
Boedecker, a native of Montana.
is product of Montana's educational
system and received a bachelor of
science degree from Carroll College
in Helena. He is a World War III
veteran, Marine fighter pilot, captain.
served in the Pacific theatre of OPP
erations and received the DFC and
five Air Medals.
The 38-year-old Boedecker stated,
''The decisions of the Railroad and
Public Service Commission are vitality
important to every citizen of Mon
tana. The precedent of past perform
ance indicates that protection against
unreasonable and unwarranted rate
increases must be provided by respon-
sible representation"
He further stated, ''In justice, util-
ity rates should be set at levels insur-
ing legitimate returns on investments,
however. experience indicates the
Railroad and Public Service Commits
sion's concern should be on of keep
ing those rates at levels fair to the
citizen consumer. Rate structures
should not be established by myster-
ious manipulation, but rather by /
process encompassing the principles |
of accounting, economics, engineer
ing, law and a high level of honesty |
and integrity"
Boedecker has gained considerable |
in the operations of gov
eminent ON a federal level, having
been employed as chief price clerk |
FOR the Office of Price Administra-
ion and as a government representa-
i've in the pharmaceutical field for
seven years; and ON a state level,
raving been director of Montana's
veterans bonus payments.
Boedecker concluded: In process
ng veterans applications one fact was
learly evident-a large number of
'eterans are no longer residing in
dontana. Montana is losing much of
Ter natural and human resources. We
re suffering from the expectation
f our greatest crop, our youth. The
sailroad and Public Service Commits
ion, in conjunction with the legis-
alive, judicial and other executive
ranches of federal and state govern
rent, can be an effective tool in
this critical condition by
elping to create favorable econom-
climate and in not limiting the ex-
ensions of our industrial and agri-
ultural horizons
Boedecker is married to the former {
at McRae of Helena where they re- {
de with their five children. t

CIuring Waste By Military
Barred In Official Report

WASHINGTON. D. c.. =
Charges of waste and misman-
agement running into billions
of dollars have hit the armed
forces~In one case, US Comp
troller General Joseph Camp
bell reported that the Navy has
spent SCOTS million for jet
planes and radar equipment
that proved incapable" of car
rying out their assigned mis-
Sions.
Despite 'known serious deficien-
cies" in these products. the Navy con-
tinued shoveling out the taxpayers
money in repeated orders for them,
Campbell charged. A Navy spokesman
protested that Campbell's report
Estates the truth but not the whole
TRUTH
Other charges of waste came in
a staff report of the Congressional
Joint Economic Committee.It found
that the armed forces are wasting
$3.50 million a year by failing to
push through standardized purchas-
ing of common items such as furni-
ture, office supplies, food equip
ment, and SO on. x
DRASTIC ACTION URGED
Despite repeated proddings by Con-
gress, the report said, the Pentagon
"has been extremely dilatory in in
tegrating common supplies and serv-
ices."
Congress has twice sought to push
the Pentagon in this direction-in
a 1852 measure sponsored by Senator
Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) and
a 1853 measure sponsored by Con-
John w. Mccormack Cd
Mass.) and Thomas B. Curtis (R-
Mo-. But little has been done by the
Pentagon, the report said.
Cong. Mccormack, the House
majority leader, called meanwhile for
''some drastic action. He noted that
savings through improved manage

in the Department Iof Defense would

NineGood Reasons for
Passing Forand Bill

| is the best insurance buy available,
and people who have retired would
not have to pay anything
8. The Forand Bill follows our
established pattern for paying the
costs of health care.
A. 1t does not involve political
medicine" or 'ssocialized medicine"
as some officials of medical societies
claim. They used similar unfounded
slogans against medical care for de-
pendents of servicemen, lworkmen's
compensation, Blue Gross and Blue
Shield plans, disability benefits, fed
eral grants to local health agencies,
and many other worthy programs.
B. The well-known and conserva-
tive WASHINGTON POST supports
the Forand Bill approach in an edi-
torial of February 20, 1860, which
says in part:
'That the American Medical
Association would offer its usual
doctrinaire opposition to this
proposal was as much TO be ex-,
pected as a bill from a doctor
after visit to his office. Senator
Mcnamara has observed that the
ANA had nothing to offer but
tired abuse This is not. by the
widest flight of the most neur-
otto fancy, 'socialized medicine
or political medicine 1t is SIM
ply system, if the ANA could
but calm it's nerves enough to
realize it, which, like Blue Cross
or Group disqualification or any
other insurance program, would
enable a patient to go to the doc
tor and the hospital of his choice
and would pay the bills resulting
from the care he needs in old
age. 1t would help doctors, hos
pitfalls and medicine in general.
And it would enable American
men and women to retire in their
old age with more security and
self-respect."
C. The bill would protect the pub
&c from excessive charges by the
mall minority of doctors, hospitals
nd nursing homes who let business
lotives dominate their medical ac-
vities.
g.. Persons most familiar with
Social Security operations and the i
health needs of the aged support
the approach of the Forand Bill. I

BY ART EDISON

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, R-
Not in 1856 years has the old house
seen anything like this.
Here in Monticello, the be-
loved home of Thomas Jefferson,
Adlai Stevenson dined in high
style Monday night. The last SIM
liar dinner, according to the GU
rator at Monticello, probably took
place in 1924.
That was when Jefferson-old,
tired and feeble-held a dinner
for General Lafayette on one of
his return visits to America. After
Jefferson's death in 1926 the house
was sold, and while entertaining
was done, it was on much small
er scale.
For years now Monticello has
been a national shrine, closed at
5 pm.
Stevenson, the Democratic pre-
sidential nominee in 1852 and
1856, is here to make a Founders
Day speech at the University of
Virginia, set up according to the
plans of Jefferson.
Monday night Stevenson was
joined by 81 other guests, some
of them students at the Univer-
sity, and they ate in manner
as like Jefferson's as can be dup
Heated in this complicated time
The place was lit by candles
there's no electricity in the up
stairs of Monticello-andt the food
was brought in from the outside
by a caterer. Unlike the old days,

when slaves prepared the meals,
the food was passed from hand
to hand somewhat in the nature
of the old fire bucket brigade
from downstairs to the elaborate
dining room above.
To hungry reporter, let in to
observe the great occasion but not
allowed to share in the food, it
was maddening experience.
Course after course was floated
in and as Jefferson was a great
lover of good wine, each course
was washed down with a new
delicacy.

Cuba Airliner Grew
Seeks Political
ASYLUM In us.

MIAMI, Fla, R-- A Guiana
Airlines flight crew brought their
airplane to Miami on regular
run Tuesday then asked for polit-
ical asylum.
The three crew members, join
ed by one passenger, said the
Cuban government was infiltrated
by Communism and they wanted
no part of it.
Fifteen other passengers - IL
aliens and four us. citizens :
were unaware of the drama in
the making during the Havana
Miami flight.
The plane landed safely but
two of it's engines burned out
after it reached the ground.
The crew was greeted by Ed
uardo Whitehouse, Cuba's civil
aviation chief under the ousted
Batista dictatorship. He said he
had bunch for couple of days
that the defectors were enroute.
The crew members added that
another reason for their olsen
chantment with the government
of Premier Fidel Castro was that
they were forced into the Cuban
air force although employed at
the same time by Guiana.

U of A Given Contract
To Study Flora and Fauna
At Alaska Blast Site

WASHINGTON = The Atomic
Energy Commission has awarded
the University of Alaska a $127,-
327 contract to study the flora
and fauna of the Cape Thompson
Pgotoruk Creek region where a
giant atomic explosion is planned
to blast out harbor.
The earliest date at which this
experimental blast could be con-
Quoted is the spring of 1862, ac-
cording to Gerald w. johnson,
head of the Lawrence Radiation
Laboratory, which is preparing
for the so-called Plowshare pro-
gram. If the Cape Thompson blast
succeeds, second blast for a
small harbor near Katalla on the
Gulf of Alaska is being planned,
he said.
Fresh details of the planned
atomic test at Cape Thompson
were supplied to the Congression-
al Committee on Atomic Energy
in a rundown of planned use of
nuclear explosives for excavation,
power and water resources.

WASHINGTON R-The United
States made new demand on
Russia for the release of two
American airmen held since early

A State Department spokesman
said Hare emphasized our deep
concern over the Soviet govern
ment's continuing detention of the
two RB47 crew members"
Hare also told the Russian en-
voy, the spokesman said, "How
important it is to the relations be-
tween our two countries that
these men be promptly released"

President-Elect Kennedy, At 43,
Is Youngest Leader of World Power

since the old dictator died in 1858.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan, sc, has long record
of public service but didn't reach
the top spot until 1857.
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, 68,
became his country's leader dur
ing the war and still is in charge.
Nationalist Chinese President
Chang Kai-Shek, 72, was a tower
ing figure in China as long ago
as the 192Os and, although the
Red Chinese threw him off the
mainland, he's still boss on For
mosa. OF all the present world
leaders, Chang has the longest
record of holding the top job.
India's Prime Minister Nehru,
II, was long a prominent figure
in his country, although over
Swallowed by Gandhi. He became
giant after the war.
In Spain there is Generalissi-
mo Francisco Franco, So, who
took charge in the 1930s and is
still boss.
And finally there is Red China's
Mao Tze-Tung, Ct. He was leader
if the Chinese Communists before
the war and now that they domi-
nate mainland China he still is
top man.
While it may seem extraordi-
nary that this country should
have chosen a man of 40 or its
leader, young leaders may be the
rule by the end of this decade,
not the exception.
With the younger men will come
new ideas and new energies which
in retrospect may make the tur-
MOL of 1860 look like collec-
ton of stupidities or, by COMPARE
son with what lies ahead, gold
en- age of peace and quiet.

WASHINGTON R = President
elect John F. Kennedy's admins
tration will be the first wave of
the future.
By electing Kennedy, 43, Presi-
dent, this country-alone among
the big nations-has made the
first clean break with the past.
One by one in the 1960s the
giants who dominate the world
scene now-all either ancient or
aging-will disappear off the
stage of history.
BY the end of this decade most,
probably all, will be out of posi-
tons of leadership.
Kennedy alone among the big
world leaders is both young and
new in the sense that has no direct
link with the past in making,
shaking or shaping the world.
The others, like retiring Presi-
dent Eisenhower, are holdovers
from the past.
Eisenhower, now 70, is typical
of those others, in one way or
another is molding the world OF
the pre-1960s.
He was Allied Commander in
Europe during the war, Com
mander of NATO in Europe in
the early 1950s, and President
eight years.
But all of the present world
leaders either came to prominence
and retained it, during and after
the war or even preceding the
war.
Nowhere among the big nations
since the war, until now in the
case of Kennedy, has a new and
young man appeared.
Take some examples: West Ger
many's Chancellor Konrad Alden
auer, now "a, emerged after the
war and has been the German
leader since.
French President Charles De
Gaulle, now 70, emerged as leader
OF the Free French during the
war, served as President, retired,
and now has come back to domi-
nate France again.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev, sc,
built up stature during the war
by his services under Stain and
has been the real Soviet leader

Report Card
BY CONRAD Fl. POTTER
Superintendent of Schools
WHAT ABOUT FEDERAL AID i?

One of the most pressing prob
lens confronting the new Con-
gresS will be its action involving
the question of federal aid to edu-
cation. What about it? Is our ma
ton prepared for it? Do they gen
orally favor this sort of thing
The following discussion is di-
gested from the Dec. 1859, N. E. A.
Research Bulletin.
The authors call attention to
the fact that there are those who
are opposed to the granting of
federal funds either to the state
or to themselves. The question is
then asked, "Is this true " In an
swer to this question the readers
attention is called to the Annual
Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States for
the fiscal year 1858 in which it
is indicated that vast numbers of
American citizens "desire and
willingly accept the benefits of
federal funds" In witness of this
position an array of supporting
evidences are set forth:
% Most American farmers are
not opposed to federal grants.
They receive in one year 1858
million under the Soil Bank Pro-
gram and $215 million under the
Agricultural Program. They bene-
fitted from the experimentation
research, and the advice for which
the Federal Government spent $85
million. An additional $149 mil
lion for grant-in-aid programs
provided additional benefits.
CD The majority of the mem
bers of our state legislatures, most
of our motorists, and truck, bus,
and other motor-vehicle opera
tors were not opposed to their
states receiving SIS billions in
federal grants-in-a for highway
construction projects. Many others
benefited from the $43 million
made available for airport con-
struction and civil aeronautics ad-
ministration.
90 Most citizens, including doc
tors, nurses, and patients did not
oppose granting of federal funds
for hospital construction and other
medical facilities.
ca Few elderly and handicapped
persons in the United States have
refused to accept the benefits in
old-age assistance and other bene-
fits that derived from federal
grants made available to the
states.
90 Higher education and other
research agencies requested and
received $137 million in research
and training grants.
co School board members,
school administrators, teachers
and parents were favorable to ac-
cepting $218 million for public
elementary and secondary schools
for school construction, school
operation and maintenance and
other operational costs including
teachers salaries as well as $165
million under school lunch and
school milk programs.
In brief when one looks at the
overall picture, we see that prac-
tically all our people apparently
want and benefit from some type
of federal grant-in-aid program.
The thought occurs to me that
the people may not be cognizant
of the full impact and ramifica-
ton of such aid and perhaps
would re-evaluate their wants if
they did. Marten Ten Hoor ap-
preciated this problem when he
said, Sooner or later, the indi-
vidual faces the world alone, and
that moment may overwhelm him

There was one other perti-

on which Westport audiences
voted in connection with "I'he

This had to do with whether
the play should be taken to
Broadway, which is a strong
possibility, or left as a memory
to- Westport's summer play
goers.
On this, the vote went on
Monday night; 20 yes, 4 no,
is with less harshness in the
treatment of the Senator, and
4 with other changes in the
writing. Tuesday nights audi
ence voted lat to take the play
"in" as is; 81 voted no, 20 sug-
gested changes in the Senator's
portrait, and 81 voted that it
should be revised in other de-
tails as we'll.

The controversy it has
aroused could be a factor in
assuring that "The Captains
and The Kings" will get to
New York. In case it does, one
could hope that it would have
a prior-to-Broadway fortnight
here. And, as a more delightful
prospect, that we here who live
with 100 Senators would be
asked to vote on the WeStport
questions.
1t would be the first time we
ever had a chance in Washing
