READERS FORUM
No Substitute For
Paradise Project
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
There is no substitute for full de-
velopment in the Clark Fork Basin.
Knowles, Nine Mile-Prairie, Mcnamara,
Buffalo Rapids, Glacier View, Smoky
Range, and Spruce Park are all ques-
tionable substitutes for Paradise
Dam" Why? Because, authorization of
Paradise would strengthen the hand
of the United States negotiators in
conferences with the Canadians on de-
velopm ent of international streams of
the Columbia River system Paradise
is with the exception of Libby Dam,
the most outstanding multi-purpose
project remaining to be developed on
the Upper Columbia Basin. If Paradise
is constructed before the so-called
(Door-Bull River-Luxor Dam System)
three dams proposed on the Canadian
side of the border, the downstream
benef1tS of the Canadian water storage
would be reduced and the United States
would give Canada less compensation
in power for the storage benefits of
the Canadian financed and built prof.
cots.
The diversion of the Kootenay River
into the Columbia in Canada sby
the so-called Door-Bull River-Luxor
Dam System would produce $4,000
kilowatts. The plan would divert an
annual average of 100000 acre-feet
from the Kootenay proper. The average
annual runoff of the Kootenai River at
Libby, Montana, is about 100000 acre
feet and about IL, 400,0 acre-feet at
Porthill, Idaho. Therefore it could be
said the Kootenai River annually flows
about 100000 acre-feet across Mon
tana and 100000 acre-feet across
Idaho.
Paradise will control the Clark Fork
and Flathead Rivers to 1920 cubic
feet second; disable flood control stor-
age 4,080,000 acre-feet; disable head
241 feet; installed capacity initial 432,-
600 kilowatts; ultimate $4,000 XIV;
prime power 100000 XIV; cost s492,-
$4,000; relocation costs 1921, ITO, 900.
One cannot aquatic dollars and cents,
when population projections are to be
upwards of IL % increase by the turn of
the century. Montana, the upstream
state, should be guaranteed of at least
half of the power benefits from down
stream states generating facilities.
Right now, $4,000 Montanans are able
and seeking work. 10000 are still draw
ing unemployment compensation bene
fits for lack of broader job base.
Since 1856 we have had a steady de-
cline in employment in Montana and a
net loss of $500 wage earners. Sincere
ly yours.-ELMER w. ENGSTROM,

SMALL BUSINESS GETS Z
"THE BUSINESS"

A recent analysis of Small Business
Administration loan totals points up
the spectacular failure of this agency.
SBA came into being late in 1858
on wave of Administration publicity
about creation which would help COM
petent small businessmen get the fl
nancing they need. During the early
years of its life, if did little, if any
thing, for the small businessman. Due
to the tight money policy of this Adj
ministration, it was practically impos-
sible for the operator of a store, serv-
ice concern or small plant to find
loans at reasonable rates; and SBA
loans were even harder to get.
AS part of his 1856 campaign,
President Eisenhower promised
bigger, broader SBA program. Con-
gress went along, authorizing the
agency to expand it's lending activi-
ties and voting ample funds to do the
job. Last session, we increased the
revolving fund for business loans by
$75 million, to total of $575 million.
That the promised assistance failed
to materialize is documented in an
SBA report to the House Small Bust
ness Committee. 1t shows that in six
years, the agency approved 81 loans
in the 17-county First Congressional
District, an average of Is a year. and

Contends 1860 Farm Bill
Won't Help Farmers
To the Editor:

10 Un6 EulCOr.
For sometime my opinion of the
Poage bill (Family Farm Act of 1860
has been that it wouldn't help farmers
any but hadn't realized that it will
actually hurt them, until recently.
DO you know that the bill will do
away with all non-recourse loans and
that 1t has a compulsory soil bank fea-
ture which requires farmers to put
aside 1919 of their cropland without
any pay?
The bill would put our surplus on the
market instead of keeping it off the
market. Any excess production storage
costs would be paid by the farmers
alone and the bill does not provide for
any real price supports.
This information comes to me from
the U. S. Farmers Association, a group
who are truly working for the farmer.
Let's take a look at their program.
They are working for full parity
assured by federal legIsla ton; govern
ment price control administered by
farmers, consumers, workers, with no
special interest to manufacturers, pro-
cessors or distributors; civil rights or
full democracy; full employment; broad
er Social Security to cover all over SIS
including surgical, hospital, and medi-
cal care; return the control of money
to the Congress; abolish CONSUMPTION
forever and also the Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee; stop the bomb test
ing NOW; world peace and disarma-
ment.
This is the program I'm interested in.

BY CONG. LEE METCALF

One of the interesting items that
comes into my office is a publication
of the Montana State Employment
Service giving statistics on the Mon
tana labor market. This is a periodic
report on employment in non-agricul-
tural industries in Montana.
Paging through this publication the
other day, l found dim picture for
employment in Montana and an indi-
cation that the widely heralded pros
perity was not quite what it was pur-
ported to be. at least insofar as Mon
tana was concerned.
For example, the total average non
agricultural employment in Montana
in 1866 was 10000, in 1857 it was
1852, 400, in 1858 it was 1900 and
in 1859 it was 160, 400 This shows
drop in employment of $500 from
1856 to 1857 and a total drop of
$500 from 1856 to 1859. The loss
of jobs from 1856 to 1859 in manu-
featuring was 300, in mining 1900.
In contract construction there were
900 fewer jobs during the period,
in transportation and utilities a loss
of 2,40O jobs and in the trade section
which includes both wholesale and
retail trade and takes in such cate
gories as general merchandising and
apparel, food stores, restaurants and
filling stations there were 2,1OO fewer
jobs in 1859 than there were in 1856.
The only increase was in the cate

"This is going to be one of the

ment. A source of constant amaze
ment and almost disbelief is the con-
test that has come about in the Re-
publican primary for U. S. Senate.
So unbelievable has it been some peo-
pie thought Montgomery would go
into the Western District Congress

to be signally bereft of candidate

Current rumor is that the Orvin
Flare statement about the Senate

James Morrow of Bozepan out of the
u. S. Senate race. The
story is that Sumner Gerard has been
given the nod from the powers that
be, and if Morrow should ignore them
he was told they would file Flare.
There are others who analyze the
matter much differently. They believe
Gerard is not catching ON, and Nor

II you have ever driven 10
Annapolis, or any OF the
Chesapeake Bay beaches,
you probably have driven by
our school which is located
on a prominent hilltop in
historic Bladensburg, Md.
Our school is the Oldest
Junior high school in Prince
Georges County, having
started in 1916. In 1851, the
senior high school. which
used to occupy our present
building, was transferred to
a newer and larger building
in the Sunnybrook area of
Bladensburg. Since then, the
old high school building has
been known as BJHS.
We are proud of the fact
that part of our American
heritage and modern prog
ress co-exist in our i'm
mediate area.
In 1914, British troops
marched down the road
that runs by the school and
scattered the American mi
litia in the vicinity of what
is now Fort Lincoln Gene
terry. From there they went
on to burn the Capitol, the
Presidents Palace, and
other governmental build
ings in nearby Washington.
From our hilltop site We
can see the famous Peace
Cross, a World War I memo
rial; the now peaceful East
ern Branch of the AnacoStia
River; and the many Colo
nial-built homes along with
modern homes, large apart
ment developments and
busy shopping centers.
The athletic program of
our school is so arranged to
provide for as much student
participation as possible. We
are especially proud of some
of our former students who
continued their athletic
pursuits in the high school
and won last years State
basketball championship for

School. For those not parti-
cipating in a varsity sport

for his combination jet

was exhibited at the County
Science Fair. It's an unusual
