Precinct Map
OF Montana

BOZEMAN-A more detailed anal
ysis of the voting habits of Montana
will be possible with precinct map
recently published by Montana State
College.
The first of it's kind dealing with
Montana, the map naturally will show
the strongholds of the two major poll
tical parties. But the real purpose
of the map is for social and economic
analysis of why persons in various
areas of the state vote the way they
do ON particular issues.
The project was sponsored by the
Office of Information and the De-
partment of Earth Sciences.
Breaking down the election re-
suits past the county TO the precinct
level gives us more detail and also
helps us to better understand the
social, political and economic picture
in the state" explained Milton j.
Edie, assistant professor of geogra-
ply
Good use of the map will be made
at Montana State. "The political hab-
it's of a population are a significant
characteristic of geography" Edie
added. 'Tne information we compile
will be used for classes in Montana
geography, as we'll as for economic
sociology and political science courses
which are concerned with Montana"
Information for all but IL counties
was obtained through the Montana
Extension Service, county extension
agents, and county clerks and re-
corders. Gordon w. Lightfoot, gradu-
ate student in geography with an as
sistantship in photography (map MAX
ing), visited the remaining dozen
counties to complete the study.
"Some counties had NO exact
knowledge of the boundary loca-
tions," Lightfoot said. Gin those
cases we obtained tentative locations
based ON the best data at hand.
Lightfoot, native of Glasgow,
spent about 10 months on the entire |
project. After compiling the informa-
tion, he tackled the map drawing job.
Edie said copies of the map will |
be sent to all state papers, county
clerks and recorders and county
agents. Copies will also be available
to the public at a nominal fee. |

Asks State To LegaIize
Short-Weight Packages

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-(CNS)-
Food packagers are asking state Of
ficials to allow some variotion in
weights. Harry Couden, quality con-
troll manager for Safeway, says this
is necessary because the accuracy of
men and machines varies.
State law says a package labeled
zone pound" must weigh at least one
pound. Consumer and trade union
representatives argue the law should
be left that way and not be changed
to legalize short weights.

kuispen Union Painters
Receive 25-Year Awards

KALISPELL - Five members of
Kalispell Painters Local 975 have
been awarded gold pins denoting 25
years of continuous membership in
their craft union.
Peter Saverud, Berger Saverud,
Fred Meacham, Charles Jerrow and
Mark Jerrow were presented the pins
by local union president Paul Barr
at recent union meeting. Each man
was a charter member when the local
union was organized in 1885.
At the presentation ceremony, ex-
cerpts from old union records of the
union were read by Secretary Perry
Melton and an evening of reminiscing
followed a regular business session.
First officers of the union were w. J.

The sweeping victory of Senator
Estes Kefauver over Judge Andrew
T. Taylor in the Tennessee Demo
cratic primary election continues to
cause wide comment.
"The avalanche of support for Ke-
fauver, an Associated Press report
said, 'belied the oft-voiced belief of
many that his liberal voting record
didn't reflect the sentiments of a ma
jority of Tennesseans.
Other comments called the vote a
"shock" to Republicans who had
hoped the civil rights issue would
split southern Democrats in Novem-
Der.
The Nashville TENNESSEAN, a
leading daily in the state, said 'the
voting should certainly show the hand
writing on. the wall to the big inter
ests who would defeat a senator with
lush campaign funds in their own
selfish interests.
''The big drug manufacturers who
sought to defeat the monopoly inves-
tigating senator took perhaps the
severest drubbing, and may have
opened the way for further probing
into the tie-up that could exist be-
tween the druggists and doctors
how much drug stocks are owned by
those who dispense or prescribe the
high priced drugs for the sick" the
added
Another article in the TENNES-
SEAN tells of ''the political activity
by Tennessee doctors" against Ke-
fauver, and says this unsuccessful
effort was part of national Amer

What the Kalispell Painters Union
stands for in broad sense was ex-
pressed in this statement by the %

The Nations record-breaking
population figure was being
checked today, with census
takers starting their calls to
every nook and Granny of the
land to count an estimated
18O million people.
In the Metropolitan Wash
ington Area they are expected
to count more than 81 million.
The 1860 census got under
way on a door-to-door basis
this morning when 1000 area
census takers took to the
streets. Among the first to be
counted were President and
Mrs. Eisenhower.
A group of District area
census takers. including the
top supervisors, started last
night (T-night), counting the
tranSients in hotels and motels
with so or more rooms.
Census supervisors said
T-night was success although
in a few instances there were
delays in getting the census
forms filled out and returned.
Otherwise, the hotel count was
routine and provided enumer-
ators and crew leaders a last
minute test.

filled out by householders. The
President had his form all
ready for Mr.. Alexis.
Mr.. Eisenhower wondered
aloud if anyone had started a
pool all over the Nation on the
exact number" of the country's
population that will be revealed
by the census. Someone re-
marked that that might be a
good idea.
14-POund Kit
Mr.. Alexis showed the Pres
ident the 14-pound standard
kit carried by all census emu
merators. He also showed Mr..
Eisenhower the more compli-
Gated form, asking questions
about income and detailed per-
sonal history that is to be left
at every fourth home. But the
President was not asked to fill
out this form.
Mr.. Eisenhower asked many
questions about the census op-
Grafton. He was told that
about 10000 persons started
to take the census today under
direction of 392 district Offices
and that the census enumer-
ators are expected to work
from II to 20 days.
Mr.. Eisenhower asked if any
of the census enumerators were
permanent civil servants. When
Mr. Alexis told him no" he
asked where do you get these
people? Are they retired peo-
pie? Where can you pick up
10000 people just like that?"
Mr.. Alexis explained that by
tradition the political party in
power fills the positions. Mr.. |
Burgess added that the party |
makes the first nominations"
but that each person hired as
a census-taker has to pass a

Trial in Rape
Set April Is
Not Guilty PIeo
Filed by Ralph

A Montgomery County Cir
cult Court judge today set
April Is as the trial date for
William Ralph, 26-year-old de-
liveryman accused of raping
two Washington area women
last week.
Ralph, who was extradited by
Maryland authorities Wednes-
day, pleaded not guilty at his
arraignment before Judge
Ralph G. Shure in Rockville.
He is to be tried on three in
dictments, charging rape, un-
natural and perverted sexual
practice and burglary on March
21 in the Wheaton-Kensington
area.
The Negro suspect was
caught on Saturday less than
an hour after he allegedly
raped a District woman in
Northwest Washington. In the
Wheaton case, the complaining
witness is a 41-year-old house
wife, who told police Ralph
broke into her home, cut off
the electricity at a basement
fuse box and assaulted her.
Judge Shure postponed the
appointment of attorneys to
represent Ralph, who told the
court he hoped to find lawyer
for himself. He is being held
in county Jail without bond.
Ralph also was indicted by
the county grand jury on a
charge of attempted rape in
volving a Chevy Chase woman

Congress 0Ks
DC. Budget
Compromise Seen
Posing q Deficit
By JAMES G. DEANE
Star Stan Writer

Congress has handed the
District a budget which, ac-
cording to present figuring,
threatens to put the city in the
red some time next year.
The Senate yesterday ap-
proved and sent to the White
House a $239,47O,433 appropri-
alton for Capital expenses for
the fiscal year starting July l..
Included in the measure was
$25 million payment from the
Federal Treasury, the figure in
sisted upon by House leaders.
The Senate. on motion of Sen
ator Pastore. Democrat of
Rhode Island, backed down
without protest on an earlier
effort to raise the figure to $26
million.
Under present estimates, the
legislative action leaves the city
government facing a general
fund deficit of $87,871 before
June 80, 1861, budget officers
said.
This forecast is based partly,
however, on a major expense
item not a part of the budget
considered by the congressional
appropriations committees. This
is an expected $527,500 in
crease in the city's bill for care
Of District patients at st. Eliz-
abeths Hospital under a pend
ing Health, Education and
Welfare Department appropri-
alton The HEW bill was ap-
proved this week by the House
and is awaiting Senate action.
Representative Rabaut, Dem
ocrat of Michigan, who headed
House conferees responsible
for the final appropriation fig
ures, said the st. EliZabeths
item is something in the future
as far as the present budgetary
action is concerned. He noted
that the city can seek a sup
Elementary appropriation later
if this proves necessary.
AS the Rabaut group calcu-
lated the fiscal prospects, the
approved appropriation meas
ure would provide a $1,789, ,629
surplus on June 80, 1861. An
even 81 million of this surplus
already is scheduled to be dis
solved by a forthcoming ap-
preparation request to provide
pay raises for city blue-collar
employees, however.
Another $35O,O00 must be set
aside for payment of legal
claims and judgments which
are certain to occur although
not now predictable, officials
said. This leaves only $439, ,629
unbudgeted and available for
miscellaneous expenditures, in
+cluding the $527,500 ST. Eliza
beths item. The latter obvious
ly would put the city in the
red.

The
Rambler
Shops
For Shud
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


With tonight's dinner in
mind, the Rambler went
shopping on the waterfront
yesterday.
He hoped to get a large roe
shad caught in the Chesa-
peake Bay.
Shad is on the market. It
can be purchased in large
chain stores. These shad
are netted in tidal rivers to
the south, the Pee Dee and
the Cape Fear and the Sa-
vannah.
With modern refrigerator
transportation, shad arrives
here in excellent condition.
But the Rambler is so old
fashioned that he clingS to
the idea that the nearer the
fish is caught the freSher it
is likely to be.
So he told the taxi driver
to take him to Twelfth and
Maine avenue.
When we got down into
that recently leveled desert
of desolation, the driver could
not find the once familiar
corner. Without the tower
of the Terminal Warehouse
and the long row of brick
stalls of the Municipal Fish
Market, he was lost.
Finally the driver did get
his bearings and managed
to accept the fact that he
was where he was. Then he
found that he could not drive
out on the wharf because the
entrance and the exit were
reserved for cement mixers
delivering concrete for the
tall white bridge piers ris-
ing in a row in Washington
Channel.
