Railroad Union Council Formed
AT Meeting In Falls, Sunday

Ken Davies, Ed Gallick, Henri,
Stemps and Arnold Anderson.
John B. Willis. chairman of the
Great Falls local of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, was elected
secretary of the council.
Leonard Kenfield, Montana Farm.
ers Union president, gave the keynote
address at the initial meeting Sunday.
stressing the need for cooperation
between labor and farm groups.
Kenfield said there is constant pres
sure to divide the farmer and the
worker, because together they repre-
sent a powerful political and economic
group. He suggested a better program,
of education for the farna-labor peo-
pie and a closer coordination of ac-
ton between the union groups.
Next meeting of the council, which
represents an estimated 1000 rail-
road employees, is scheduled for pm.
Sunday, April 10. at the MFU build
ing. In addition to all railroad work
ers, wives of rail workers and retired
railmen will be invited to attend.
A constitution and bylaws COM
mittee is scheduled to report at the
next meeting, and it is hoped an Off
cial name for the group will be
adopted at that time.
The newly elected officers of the
county council said after Sundays
that they will contact other
railway brotherhoods in the state con-
corning the formation of similar coun-
ellis. Reason for this, they explained,
is to bring about a concerted plan of
action among railroad labor through
out the state. GREAT FALLS

Tribute To Fine Man, Great Educator =.
40 Years Of Service By MSU's
Edmund Freeman To Be Honored

| bate for four years and has given his
time and talents to other student

other literary subjects. He is CO.

He has inbued generations Of MSU
students with his own love of English
literature, thereby adding an extra
dimension to the lives of countless
men and women.
Despite the demands of teaching
and research on Prof. Freeman's time,
he has often stepped down from the
ivory tower to take an active part in
organizations concerned with better
ment of social and economic condi-
tons. He has been consistently man
of unequivocal commitment to his
convictions and, perhaps, it is this
quality more than any other that has
earned him the affection and respect
that prompted the Forthcoming cele-

Tight Money Bars Five
Million From New Homes

More than five million American
families have been excluded from the
market for new homes by the tight
money" policy of the Eisenhower AID
ministration, Boris Shishkin, secre-
tary of the AFL-CIO Housing Com
mittee, has charged in an address be-
fore the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Housing Conference in Wash

Instead of deliberately and arti-
ficially pushing the average Ameri-
can family out of the housing mar
ket, the national housing policy should
be to make housing available to fam
lilies of moderate income on more
reasonable TERMS" he said. Monthly
financial charges can be reduced by
lowering the interest rate, by extend

Railroad Employment
Drops to New Low

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(PAD-
Railroad employment in the United
States hit a new modern low during
February when the mid-monthly count
showed only 1926 employees on the
payroll.
This was almost a thousand less
than during January and was almost
$4,000 lower than year ago when
it was 812,438.
AS has been the case for some time
jobs were down despite an increase
in car loading and railroad profits.
The figures were: jobs down 3.3 per
cent; car loading up 40 per cent.

MCGOWAN Act In
First 8 Months

Montana's state treasury received
gross income of more than 100000
during the first six months of opera
ton. of the nonresident income tax
Withholding law passed by the 1853
Legislative Assembly, the State Board
of Equalization has announced.
For the first quarter of its opera
ton, July 1 through September 30,
1859, the new law brought in gross
revenues of S75,873 via Withholding.
In the second quarter ending last
December 81, the gross revenue with
held and paid into the State was
$66,692.
In addition, the new law enabled
the State tax board to collect in ex-
cess of SAT, 500 in delinquent income
taxes owed Montana by non-residents.
Of the $142,5OO withheld, the
Board estimates that upwards of a
third will be paid back to the tax
payers via refunds. Should that esti-
mate prove correct, the State will be
richer by almost $4,000 net for
the first six months of the acts oper-
alton.

In 1859 the bill, again numbered los,
went through the Senate without a
single dissenting vote. 1t prevailed
in the House 1879, and later was
signed into law by the Governor.
Principal difference between the two
SD 105s was that the 1859 version
did not provide for withholding tax
on dividends-a proposition which
some solons contended would be ex-
tremely burdensome from collection

The Nome nugget., 1960-07-25
By MILTON LESSER

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- The United States asserted today it has scientific proof that Soviet fighter planes deliberately man. uevered a US. RB47 off it's course and shot it down over interna- tional waters,
 U. s. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge denounced the action "as a criminal and reckless act of piracy" which the Soviet Union tried to hide with reckless talk"
 But he did not seek Council condemnation of the Soviet Union.
 Instead he submitted a resolu- tion calling on the Council to either name an impartial fact finding mission to investigate the incident, or submit the entire matter to the International Court of Justice
 In highly dramatic speech he produced two maps to demon strate his points.
 Lodge said of the Soviet act of shooting down the plane July l. "This astonishing and criminal fact is established beyond doubt by the evidence of our scientific dveices." He did not go into de- tails and US. sources said the exact nature was withheld be-

Castro Sells One-Third Of Cuba's Sugar Crop To The Communist Bloc

HAVANA, tR-Fidel Castro has bound a third of the Cuban sugar crop - the cornerstone of the country's shaky economy-to the Communist bloc.
 For the next five years Cuba has agreed to supply the Soviet Union and Red China 112 mil lion tons of sugar annually out of a harvest that this year is set at 5,700,000 tons. Shipments to other Communist countries will bring the total Cuban sugar going behind the iron curtain to nearly two million tons a year
 The Soviets also have bought the 100000 tons of sugar Presi- dent Eisenhower cut from Cuba's 1860 sales to the United States.
 The Castro deals with the Com munists are largely on barter basis begged to world prices. The U. s. long has been Cuba's best customer at premium prices of ? to 212 cents a pound above the world market price. The Soviet Union pays the world price and Red China presumably will do likewise.

cause it involved secret informa- tion of great interest to the So- Viets,
 He accused the Soviet Union of denying the RB47 crewmen their rights under international law and denounced this as "flagrant disregard for the standards of international conduct
 As Lodge spoke, the chief So- viet delegate, Vastly Kuznetsov sat attentively erect, alternately twiddling this thumbs and jotting down notes.
 In the spectators gallery, the wives of the RB47 crewmen, their expressions grim, watched tensely as Lodge pointed with his finger to the maps upon which the planes course was charted.
 Speaking in reply to Lodge, Kuznetsov accused the United States of "cynicism without pre- cedent" in trying to play on the emotions of the wives and rela- tives of the crew members.
 Kuznetsov said ''maps could not delude anyone" and added that the Security Council should not be "a prop for that kind of farce" He repeated the Soviet charge that the RB47 was on an aggres- sive spy mission in Soviet air space.
