Until yesterday, Meriwether res
idents and others have been pres
surfing county and state officials
for such a revision to complete
grading and graveling seven miles
of the northern portion of the
MeriWether road.
A letter dated Feb 90 from the
State Highway Commission had
advis d the Blackfeet Tribal
Council of its decision not to di-
vert funds from the Duck Lake
road as requested by a group of
Neriwether residents, and in con-
Torrance with the latest decision
of the County Commissioners,
much to the disappointment of
Meriwether residents.
Apparently, the meeting in Hell
ena produced additional funds
which local planners did not know
existed. Otherwise, the compile
ton of grading and graveling on
the Meriwether road would not
have been possible without chang
ing plans on the Duck Lake road.
The Highway Commission will
therefore let contracts for both
roads that will provide the seven
miles of graveling on the Meri-
wether road and IL miles of oil
surfacing on the Duck Lake road.
The plan to Oil surface the Duck
Lake road is at variance with an
article in Wednesdays edition of
a daily newspaper that stated the
Highway Commission tentatively
approved canceling the oil sur
facing.
The oil surfacing of the Duck
Lake road will include the 11-mile
stretch from the bridge over St.
Mary river near Babb to the Doug
Douglas ranch gate.
The cost of the Duck Lake road
project will run approximately
100000, according to Woodward.
He did not indicate whether that
covered the IL miles of oil sur
facing under immediate consider
alton or the entire road to the
Browning area when it is even
tually completed.
The sudden availability of addi-
tional funds for the Meriwether
project reveals that Glacier Coun-
ty Commissioners do not know
! the county secondary road fund
balance until they contact the
State Highway Commission, fact
which was verified by one of
the commissioners.
Neither is a record kept in the
county concerning disposition of
such funds, as this newspaper
has come to find out, through
inquiry made last week.
One county commissioner has
said, Its the darndest mess you
ever saw. We never know how
much we have in our fund, nor
can we tell you how much was
spent where - until we get a
report from the State Highway
Commission, or ask for the fig
ures."

Hoffo's IS Club

Among those who have been con-
Spicuously silent since November is
James R. Hoffa, and we suspect that
his sad experience with the $50 Club"
may have had something to do with it.
The members of the $50 Club" are
Representatives, all of whom voted for
the Landrum- Griffin labor reform bill
last year and all of whom were singled
out by MIR. Hoffa as special targets of
the Transfers Union in the 1860 cam
paign. Well, several of the original
Sc will not return to the House in
January because they did not run for
reelection, and one, Keith Thomson of
Wyoming, will not return because he
was elected to the Senate. OF the 40
House candidates against which the
Transfers did actively campaign, how
ever, the grand total defeated was one.
This pretty well speaks for itself
as far as MIR. Hoffa's influence in politics
is concerned. And it speaks pretty
well, also, come to think of it, for the
independent judgment which the great
bulk of the American people exercise
at the polls.

LBys Coming Role

Naturally enough, there has been
some speculation as to the part that
Lyndon Johnson actually will play on
the Kennedy Johnson team. This is not
a result OF anything that Senator John
son has said or done since the nominate
ing convention, for he has hewed to the
correct line. It stems instead from the
Majority Leaders well-deserved reputa-
ton as take-charge man in the Senate,
and from President elect Kennedy's
decision to visit the Vice President
instead Of having Mr.. Johnson come
to him.
1t seems to us, however, that SEN
ator Kennedy's statement as he was
leaving the LBJ ranch, if read carefully,
should eliminate any doubt on this score.
Senator Kennedy was warm in his
praise of his running mate. He said that
Senator Johnson's great talents and
experience" equip him to be "the most
effective Vice President in history" And
he also said that he and the Texan will
work closely together "in meeting our
respective responsibilities" to the
country.
To us, this means but one thing.
Senator Johnson is going to be Vice
President-and Senator Kennedy is 60
ing to be President.

Infant Mortality

Since infant mortality is closely
related to family income and the ade-
quacy of medical care, it is hardly
surprising that the increase of low
income Negro families in the District of
Columbia during the last decade has
been accompanied by an upward climb
in the city's infant mortality rates. The
degree of the increase is truly alarming,
however, for the most recent District
rates (38.5 per 1000 live births in 1858
and 36.5 per 1000 in 1851 are substan-
TALLY higher than those in most COM
parable cities and among the highest in
the Nation.
These rates can be cut most eff
fectively, according to public health
officials, by more adequate prenatal
care facilities, where expectant mothers
can be checked periodically by doctors
and instructed in how to care for them
selves and their babies Several years
ago, the Health Department prenatal
care program was cut back sharply for
economy reasons, and never since has
been able to catch up with the need
Among births at D. c. General Hospital
during the last few years, for example,

almost half the mothers have had no
prenatal care at all.
According to Health Officer Finu-
cane, the department has substantially
increased prenatal services within the
last year, most notably by the establish
ment Of part-tine clinics in various
sections Of the city. He feels that the
program still is far from adequate, how
ever, and has asked the Commissioners
for a budget increase to strengthen it
further next year. We hope this request
is given every consideration, and that
the Commissioners review the entire
program to make certain that every rea-
sonable step Is being taken by public
health officials to prevent deaths among
the newborn.

Where the Danger Lies

AS was to be expected, chorus Of
infiammatory protests against the
United States Navy's intervention in
the Caribbean crisis has come from
F1del Castro'S Cuba and from Moscow.
And, also not surprisingly, the facts of
the e-safeguarding patrol have
been distorted to make it appear to
Castros followers that an American
invasion Of Cuba is imminent-that the
United States is bent on provoking a
war. But the phony nature of such
charges must be apparent to all who are
not beguiled by Communist bombast
and propaganda. For the only real
threat to Caribbean peace lies in Castro'S
revolutionary regime. If war should
develop, Castro and his incendiary mob
will start it-not the United States.
The similarity Of the outcries from
CubaS controlled press and from Com
muniSt news and radio agencies in Mos
cow and Peiping is striking. The party
line was that the deployment Of Ameri-
can warshipS between Cuba and Central
America was "Smokescreen" to hide
an attack on Cuba or military occu-
patton" Of Central America, or both.
It was charged that the United States
had interviewed by force in the internal
struggles in Guatemala and Nicaragua"
Not mentioned, of course, was the
salient fact that the governments of
both Guatemala and Nicaragua had
appealed formally and urgently for
protection Of the American Navy against
threatened invasions by Fidelista-type
revolutionaries, organized and armed in
Cuba, presumably with weapons supplied
by Communist countries. In view of
recent abortive incursions by such forces
in both countries, the appeals for aid
against further sorties were justified
and in accord with hemisphere agree
mentS, And President Eisenhower acted
juStifably and in accord with inter-
American commitments in ordering the
carrier Shangri-la and a DESTROYER
squadron to stand guard against any
attempts by Communicated elements to
land armed forces or supplies from
abroad"
In short, our fleet units are patrolling
the Caribbean to preserve the peace, not
to breach it. Castro and his Communist
advisers now know that we are through
with futile talking and are ready to
act against aggression from any source
with bullets If necessary. There will
be no shooting, however, unless Castro
or his followers want it that way.

Justice Douglas Dissents

Most members of the Supreme Court
would hesitate to dissent publicly from
established United States policy on such
a delicate and dangerous political mat
ter as that of admitting Red China to
the United Nations. But not Justice
Douglas. He is rugged individualiSt if
ever there was one, and II he thinks
Red China should be taken into the
family of nations it is to be expected
that he would say so.
It certainly does not follow, how
ever, that the logic of his dissenting
view is beyond challenge or question.
Addressing a group in New York
City, Justice Douglas said that PeipingS
conquest Of Tibet exceeded in ruthless
ness and cruelty the actions of Russia
in Hungary" He conceded that Red
China is an "outlaw" in any accurate
use Of the word. But, he asked, chow
can an outlaw be kept outside the
United Nations and yet be disciplined
by it?"
The implication is, of course, that
IT Red China were in the United Nations
it could be disciplined as we'll as re-
formed. And this, we think, is both
fallacious and nonsensical.
Was the United Nations able to
discipline" Russia for its actions in
Hungary? Except for futile speech
making, it was not Had Red China
been among its members, could it have
disciplined Peiping for smashing Tibet?
OF course 1t could not have done So
Will the United Nations be better able
to serve the cause of peace and justice
If 1t counts among its members not one,
but two, powerful outlaws?
The question, we think, answers it
self. AS long as Red China continues
to be an outlaw nation, it is a good
thing that Justice Douglas speaks for
the minority when he steps down from
the bench in an effort to change the
policy of the United States in this non
judicial area.

He Is Still Paying

David Greenglass is a free man
again, after serving 91a years in prison
for completely in the Rosenberg atomic
spy plot. But he is still paying for his
crime. The jeers and curses which
greeted him on his release ahead of time
for good behavior" attest that the
public does not easily forget or forgive
citizens betrayal of trust.
Yet, in sense, Greenglass has
atoned for his crime, not only by serving
the sentence imposed by a Federal
court, but by reason of his cooperation
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation
in exposing and convicting the ring
leaders of the spy ring, Ethel and julius
Rosenberg. The Rosenbergs were ex-
ecuted for their part in delivering Sc
crets of the atomic bomb to Soviet
agents. 1t was in recognition of Green
glass aid to the Government that he
was let off with relatively light prison
sentence.
To bystanders who witnessed the
former Army sergeant's release in New
York City, however, Greenglass was "a
lousy Communist" dirty rat" who
Ought to commit suicide" The i'm
precautions were shouted by a crowd of
dock workers and truckers. GreenglasS
had nothing to say to the crowd or to
reporters. 1t has been suggested that
he may change his name and move to
another place. If so-and if his re-
pentance is as sincere as he has indi-
cated-he deserves chance to make a
new life for himself.

100 Years Ago

Prior to the election Of
Abraham Lincoln, Northern
Republicans and their press
had largely ignored or scoffed
at talk of secession by the
South. But at this time a
century ago, the scoffers re-
allied Dixie meant to back
up its words with action.
Horace Greeley's Republican
Tribune and some other pa
pers in the North said they
didn't care if the South did
secede, but there also were
conciliatory gestures. One.

field, Lincoln himself made
a brief thank-you speech.
saying: "Yet. in our rejoic-
ings, let us neither express
nor cherish harsh feelings
toward those differing with
us. Let us at all times re-
member that all Americans
are brothers of a common
country, and should dwell
together in bonds of frater-
nal feeling" Senator Trum-
bull offered this assurance
to Southerners: "Mr. Lin
coin, although the candidate
of the Republican Party, as
Chief Magistrate, will neither
belong to that nor any other
party. When inaugurated he
will be the President of the
