APPEAL FOR IMPROVED
CUSTOM FACILITIES

Senators Murray and Mansfield
have again appealed to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations for ade-
quate funds for the improvement and
modernization of Custom-Immigra-
ton facilities along the Montana
Canada border. s9
AS result of the Senator's efforts
new facilities have been constructed
at the Turner station. This year they
supported the Bureau of the Budget
request of $450,00OJ for the Bureau
of Customs and the same amount for
the immigration and Naturalization
Service so that these joint projects
which are so badly needed could be
started. Each small station would cost
approximately 100000 and the re-
quest would have allowed new facili-
ties at three Montana stations-Del
Bonita, Opheim and Morgan. I'm
fortunately, the House cut this appro-
priation in half which would permit
construction at Del Bonita, making
improvements at Opheim very doubt
full and Morgan would be completely
out of the picture.

REFoREsTATIoN HEARING
POSTPONED

The Interior Committee hearing
scheduled for April IA on the Senate
version of the Murray Mansfield
Metcalf resolution to accelerate tree
planting has been changed to April
%, Arbor Day.
Figures on Montana forests illus
trate the need for much more ambi-
itious planting program, according to
Senator Murray. Many national for
est areas burned over as long ago as
1910 still wait reforestation.
At the present snail-like rate of
tree-planting, according to Murray, it
will take $50 years to reforest 49,
594 acres Of burned-over land on the
Lewis and Clark National Forest, 400
years for the 82,898 acres on the
Flathead National Forest, 1872 years
for 1883 acres in Bitterroot Ma
tional Forest, and 1852 years for 95,-
301 acres in Lolo National Forest.
Looking at the whole national for
est pictrue in Montana, it would take
236 years to reforest the $4,000
acres in the state which need re-
planting. 1t would take $40 years to
reforest state lands in Montana. if
the present level of planting isn't
stepped up.

The citation for the Sigma Delta

Mr.. Weston's direct broadcasts
from the scene of the Madison

MetcaIf Expects Some

the approval of President Eisenhower
had, rejected the approach utilizing
the social security system. Flemming
then laid down some guides for future
study that indicated the Administra-
ton favored subsidization of private
insurance carriers out of the general
fund instead of establishing a special
fund under social security to be paid
for on an actuarial basis by the bene-
ficiaries. This is along the lines of
the Flanders-Ives bills first intro
duced in 1949 and rejected as too
expensive and unavoidable several
years ago.
JAvITs BILL-A BUcK-PAssINc
DEVICE
"The other approach" Metcalf
said. ''is the Javits bill which would
provide for grants-in-aid to states
which would establish state systems.
You can imagine what success we
would have with our state legislature
with this sort of legislation. Such a
proposal is just passing the buck and
will do nothing for the neediest states.
In fact it would be years before more
than a dozen states even voted to
participate"
The United States is one of the
few countries in the world that does
not provide some sort of tax-paid
medical benefits for it's aged people.
Congressman Metcaf said the mail
he had received from people all over
the nation telling of their financial
problems arising out of health re-
of the aged expressed
real and pressing need in this coun-
try for some sort of compulsory medi-
cal benefits for older people, and even
though the Forand Bill as such may
be dead the theory and principle can
not be ignored and some progress
along that line will be made in this
session of Congress.

MONTANANS SUPPORT
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT
By RAY DOCKSTADER.

PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT
Montanans stated their case fol
investments in public works before
committees on both sides of Capito
Hill last week.
Eight men from home, joined by
their Congressman, appeared before
the House Appropriations Committee
Two days later, the four who could
stay made their pitch at a special
hearing of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. arranged by Senators
Murray and Mansfield.
Congressman Metcalf led off be-
fore the House Committee for the
group which included Congressman
Anderson. William w. Hawkins of
Dillon. State Sen. Charles Mahoney
(R-Garfield) of Jordan, Henry Rue
gamer and Howard Funston of Hard
in. j. Carter Johnson, Willard Fraser,
Melvin Seitz and Albert White of
Billings.
Speaking also for Senators Murray
and Mansfield, who will make their
presentation to the Senate Commit
tee Liter, Metcalf summarized this
way:
eve support the budget items to
continue work on the East Bench
Unit and to start construction of
Yellowtail Dam; to essentially COM
plete the Helena Valley Unit, con-
tinue work on the second power plant
at Fort Peck and complete the Fort

In addition, the 3-M's seek money
for a study of the West Bench Unit,
on the west side of the Beaverhead
River valley near Dillon; funds to
start the 3 ~ year job of designing
Libby Dam. in the Kootenai River
near Libby, and for promising re-
search on reduction of evaporation
losses from reservoirs and stockwater
ponds"
Limited research on the latter, Met

chemical agent, hexadecanol, can re-
duce by at least one-fourth the evap-

lens of the aged and especially the
problems of long illnesses and chronic
diseases as something that this Con.
gress should do something about.
That he believed the House OF
Representative should assume its
constitutional responsibilities and act
on this legislation;
That though he would make nc
specific declarations as to the details
of the legislation it should be based
upon the social security system;
That the major problem was hos

entire family;

gent patients and resist the inclusion
of surgical care, SO they should be
given an opportunity to work out

would be made on institutional care.

This midget motor is no

Newspaper
PoyoIo Held
Substantial

NEW YORK, Jan. Is CAP).-
A teacher of journalism says
he thinks the amount of payola
received by newspapers and
newspapermen is substantial,
though impossible to estimate.
"Up until now, I don't know
that it has been a menace, "
said Ralph Ober, an assistant
State attorney general since
1855 and a teacher Of journal
ism and public relations at the
new School for Social Re-
search.
Mr.. Ober's statements were
made yesterday in response to
questions from a panel of COL
lege newspaper editors on the
WNYC radio program, Campus
Press Conference.
The teacher directed his crit
icisms principally at the writer's
of daily columns.
He said news reporters were
less likely to be involved in
payola because "the day-to-day
general reporter covering gen.
eral assignments is not in a
position to accept bribes or to
be offered bribes."
He said he feels "the press
itself should not have the right
to indulge in payola and at the
same time criticize other media
Tor the same conditions"
Mr.. Ober recommended a
code of conduct, rather than
legislation, to curb such in
f1uences on newspapers, radio.
television and other media.
Payola was defined for the
purpose Of the program as
any form of payment or pene-
fit designed to get advantages
outside of those from outright
paid advertising"
Mr.. Ober formerly was a
picture editor on the New York
Times and also worked tor the
Associated Press.
