DIDN'T AFFECT FARMERS

During the question period follow
ing his talk, he was asked if it were
not true that farmer trucks would
also have to pay so much per mile
in addition to a flat Gross Vehicle
Weight fee. Quoting from the pro-
posed law (Sub. lib 228, Sec. /,
Subsec. 11-h) he said such an asser-
ton was without foundation; that
trucks used solely by farmer to haul
his produce and supplies would not
be subject to the mileage fee charged
regular commercial truckers.

Lundquist continued. This tagging be-

of Congressman the people elect and
to the "outmoded system of political

lyze our leadership for many months,

Concluding, Lundquist said that

the other abroad, is gone forever. If
we fail in one place, we are denied

RADICAL WORLD POLITICAL
DEVELOPMENTS COMING

=
Principal speakers Wednesday were
Ben Lundquist. Great Falls High
School political science instructor,
and Rep. P. J. Gilfeather, also of
Great Falls.
Lundquist, in warning his audience
of radical world political develop
ments, based his talk on a recent
book, '"The Coming Political Break
through, written by Cong. Chester
Bowles who was ambassador to India
during the Truman Administration.
The speaker described the revolu-
ton in weapons, the chronological and
industrial revolution in the Soviet
Union and the spectacular rise of
Communist China in one short dec
ade. He said that another revolution
is underway in the under-developed
nations of Asia, Africa and Latin
America, with those people having
rising expectations of securing indie
pendence and recognition.
The Soviet Unions recently ex-
pressed desire for disarmament,
Lundquist opined, is probably based
on their realization that the 22 per
cent of the country's production
for ornaments can best be utilized
in expanded production of consum-
err goods, with immediate advan-
tages at home and abroad.
Taking issue with those who be-
lieve this country's economy would
collapse should real peace break out,
the school man reminded his audience
that the billions now used for ar1na-
ments could be shifted to constructive |
programs aimed at aiding destitute |
countries of the world as we'll as
building programs for this country |
involving new schools, hospitals, high
ways, dams, etc.

COOP TAX EXEMPTION
STATUS EXPLAINED

i "A OS EAFLAlNEO
Rep. Gilfeather. in defending the
rights OF some co-operatives to be
tax exempt, stated that such co-ops
must "first have contracts with each
of their patrons Co-operatives, he
said, operate on contract basis and
on the same principles as partner
ship. Profits at the end of the year
are divided among patrons in over
payments, in accordance with the
amount of purchases from the CO.
operative by the patron-owner during
the year.
The exemption status, Gilfeather
said, is specifically provided for
under the state corporation license
tax law. Not only farmer co-ops, but
such institutions as building and
loans, chambers of commerce. labor
unions, churches, etc., are exempted
from the license tax as long as they
conform to statutorily provided re
quirements for exemption.
The proposed general sales tax
Gilfeather described as unfair to
farmers and the labor groups, and
"a nuisance" for the merchants.
The sales tax, he said, would cost /
farmers / per cent more than if
the same income tax were levied.
Finally, the tax expert warned his
audience that farmers and co-opera-
tives will continue to be attacked on
taxation issues. and he advised the
group to establish and maintain a
good education program $50 the peo-
pie will know exactly what you are
doing :"

California by q million votes.
More realistic Democratic
sources put the goal in the
neighborhood Of 100000 votes.
Tuesdays big and enthusias-
tic crowds in Northern Cali
fornia topped by the riotous
reception at the Cow Palace
appeared to confirm the Demo-
Gratis belief that the Northern
counties are leaning strongly
to Senator Kennedy.
One source said the Senator
might get as much as so per
cent Of the vote in this portion
Of the State.
But the danger in estimating
voting trends from the crowds
a candidate draws was illus
trated by Senator Kennedy's
visit to San Diego Wednesday
noon.
To reporters who had been
with Vice President Nixon on
his visit to the normally Re-
publican city two weeks ago,
Senator Kennedy's audience
seemed at least as large and
as enthusiastic as that for his
opponent. But after it was
over, State Senator Hugh
Fisher, the Democratic leader
in the area. told a reporter he
would consider it q victory II
we hold Nixon to a 30.000-vote
margin"
In 1866 President Eisenhower
carried San Diego by some
80 900 votes. In the judgment
Of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, the key to the California
outcome lies in Los Angeles
County, where As per cent of
the vote will be cast.
Democrats have q reg1Stra-
ton lead in the county, as they
do in the State as a whole, but
Republicans appear to be bet
ter organized to turn out their
vote.
The factionalism that has
plagued the Democrats through
out the campaign persists.
though there was some evi-
dence during Senator Kenne-
dy's visit of improved co-opera-
ton. Charles Spaulding, the
New York banker who was
brought in three weeks ago by
Robert Kennedy in a final ef-
fort to straighten out the mess,
has won greater acceptance by
the warning factions than any
of his predecessors in the try
ing assignment.

in the crowd replied:

van reached the Cow Palace in
San Francisco. hours after an
unruly 10000 or so spectators
had refused to be shunted aside
into an auxiliary hall and had
crowded the building far be-
yond its legal capacity.
Talks Of Peace Corps
If their response to the SEN
ator's speech was less frenzied
than that of his earlier audi
ences, it was chiefly because he
chose to devote most of his time
to the serious work of laying
out his proposal for the peace
corps"
Senator Kennedy made his
suggestion based on an idea
advanced by retired Gen. James
Gavin as a means of dealing
with what he called the short
age Of skilled, dedicated Amer
leans with language skills in
Government posts aboard.
II PROPOSE" he said, "that
our inadequate efforts in this
area be supplemented by a
peace corps Of talented young
men and women, willing and
able to serve their country in
this fashion for three years, as
an alternative or as a supple
ment to peacetime selective
service.
This would be a volunteer
corps, and volunteers would be
sought, not only among tai
ented young men and women,
but also among Americans of
whatever age. Men who have
taught, or engineers or doctors
or nurses, who wish to serve the
great Republic and serve the
cause of freedom"

serious problems.

Tone Is Bitter
A statement issued this morn
Ing on his running dispute with
Mr.. Nixon over social security
legislation propelled their dis
cussion along the increasingly
bitter and personal path it has
taken in the waning days Of the
campaign.
Mr.. Nixon on Tuesday ac-
cused Senator Kennedy of a
"barefaced lie" for stating that
Republicans had always op-
posed improvements in the
benefits for the aged program.
Today the Senator replied:
Having seen him close up.
and made up; for our television
debates, I would never accuse
Mr.. Nixon of being barefaced.
But I think the American peo-
pie next Tuesday can best de-
termine who is lying and who
is telling the truth"
Cites G. o. P. Record
The Senator then detailed, as
he had done previously, some
of Mr.. Nixon's and the congress
sional Republicans stands
against social security amend
ments. going back as far as
1885 to make the point that
''the Republican Party record is
one of consistent opposition to
social security.
'Mr. Nixon may convince the
voters to ignore party labels" "
he said, "but he can hardly eX-
pect them to ignore party rec
ords and no amount of personal
abuse can cover up the reac-
tionary history of the party he

In California, the results tended to
confirm recent reports of diminishing
popularity of Democratic Governor Pat
Brown. Although the Governor won
flrSt-ballot control of the States con-
vention delegation, an old-age pension
bloc captured approximately 80 per cent
of the Democratic vote in protest"
against Mr.. Browns administration.
Whether this bloc will vote Democratic
IN November, or will continue its "pro-
test" by switching to the Republican
presidential column, is a 32-eIectoral-
vote question. The fact that Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, unoppoSed on the G. o. P.
primary ticket, outpolled Mr.. Brown
leaves the old-age bloc in possible posi-
ton to determine the November result
There is time, perhaps, for the
Democrats to patch up these problems
by next fall. BY the same token, how
ever, there is time also for the Republi-
cans to exploit them-now that their
size and shape has been clearly defined.

Democratic Headaches

Primary voting this week in two key
States, New York and California, has set
up some potential headaches for the
Democrats in November-if not at
convention time in July.
In the Empire State, an insurgent
faction that has been fighting Carmine
DeSapio for more than two years upset
candidates backed by the Tammany
Hall chieftain in three contests that
were considered critical to his continued
control of the party in New York City
and to his influence statewide. Although
Mr.. DeSapio Immediately brushed off
demands for his resignation as Demo-
cratic national committeeman, the In
Surgent victories indicated that the
party split is sufficiently deep and bit
ter to affect the voting in the general
elections. The same division was con-
sldered major factor in the defeat of
Democratic statewide candidates in 1853.

First Things First

1t is good to learn that at least one
Eisenhower cleanly beat Nikita Khru-
shchev to the punch in the matter of
whether the Eisenhowers should visit
Moscow. Furthermore, the Presidents
grandson. David, had the best of reasons
for deciding to pass up the trip before
the Soviet Premier had chance to pull
the rug from under it. David stayed
home to play baseball, and that, as any
Little Lacquer can tell you, is simply a
case of placing first things first.
For David, things turned out fine.
He missed nothing, and now he is the
regular second baseman for the Moose
team in Gettysburg's Little League. The
Russians, who never have understood
"beizbol," anyway, probably see nothing
significant in thiS-and perhaps that is
one of the reasons for all the trouble.
For our part, we are glad there still is
something immeaSurably more impor-
tant to 12-year-oldS than international
affairs, and we are glad that David's
granddad backed him up in his decision.

Israel Faces Trouble

If the Argentine threat to carry the
Adolf Eichmann case to the United Ma
tionS is to be taken seriously and ap-
parently it is, there are likely to be some
troubled times ahead for Israel.
Eichmann, one of Hitler's hench-
men, is said to have been responsible
for the killing of some 6,O00,0 900 Jews. If
this can be proved, and it probably can,
hanging, to borrow familiar phrase,
would be too good for him. Nonetheless,
there are aspects of this case which con-
fiict with Western concepts of justice
One Is that Eichmann should be tried
on the facts, with opportunity to pro-
duce evidence in his own behalf. He
should not be condemned out of hand
on the Nazi or Communist pattern. The
second has to do with the method of his
apprehension.
According to first reports, he was
kidnapped in Argentina by Israeli agents
and forcibly taken out of the country. A
later version is that he was located by
Israeli volunteers" acting without "of-
f1cial" Israeli knowledge, and that he
voluntarily agreed to go with his cap
tors to Israel and face trial.
The Argentine government, judging
from its note of protest, does not quite
believe the second version. In any event
1t has recalled its ambassador from
Israel and has demanded that Eichmann
be returned, suggesting that then the
Argentine government would be willing
to hand him over under procedures
sanctioned by international law. If
Israel refuses, and the indication is that
it will refuse, Argentina proposes to take
the matter to the U. N.
Should this come about, especially

Argentina, the Ben-Gurion government

and troublesome situation.
