Drug Warning
By the Associated Press

Innocent persons as well as
drugged drivers are endangered
by misuse of amphetamine
drugs on the, highways, the
Federal Food and Drug Com
missioner said today.
George P. Larrick made the
comments in a special report
on efforts of his anency to curb
illegal sales of the stimulant
pills to truck drivers and mo-
toriSts. They often are used
by over-tired drivers to keep
awake.
But Mr.. Larrick said experts
agree that use of the drugs for
such purposes can cause people
to think they see things that
do not exist. or fail to see such
things as oncoming vehicles.
His report cited examples OF
fatal accidents ascribed to Use
of the pills.
Since the FDA started a
breakdown last fall, Mr.. Larrick
said, IS criminal prosecutions
have been completed aud 81
others are pending in Federal
courts.
Forty-six of the terminated
cases and IL of those still
pending were brought against
individuals and establishments
not authorized to dispense dan
gerous drugs, but catering
especially to truck drivers.
These include truck stops and
their operators, grocery stores
and other peddlers.
Most of the other cases were
brought against retail drug
stores for selling the drugs
either without a prescription or
without authorization from the
physician for refilling the rre-
scription.

THE MONEY MANAGERS
AND NIXON

q VI.
There is cartoon now making the
rounds in Washington's social set
1t shows three elderly, well-meanine
women at tea party discussing the
1860 election.
One of the women sums up the atti-
tude of her group with this obserya-
ton:
81 used to base my vote on the
personality of the man. Then I got
interested in the issues. But now the
parties are so much alike have de-
cided to go back and vote for per-
sonalities."
In the abstract this may seem
amusing to anyone not running for
President this year. But to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon it is not laughing mat
ter. As matter of political strategy
he has decided that it would be fatal
if he entered a glamour contest"
with Sen. John F. Kennedy.
So, being every inch a political
realist, Nixon has decided on an al
together different approach.
One of the ideas he intends to stress
is that Kennedy, although basically

IL Guides 10 Safe
Use of Chemicals

Many insecticides and weed killer.
are known to be in use in the Lewis
& Clark area as well as other parts
of Montana, according to Clayton v
Berg, Helena, city-county sanitarian
These chemicals virtually without ex-
ception are poisonous to man and
higher animals. For this reason care
should be used in their application.
The National Agricultural Chemi-
Gals Association has published the fol-
lowing set of recommendations on
how to use Insecticides and other
agricultural chemicals safely:
1. Always read the label before
using sprays or dusts. Note warnings
and cautions each time before open
ing the container.
2. Keep sprays and dusts out of
the reach of children pets and ire
sponsible people. They should be
stored outside of the home and away
from food and feed.
3. Always store sprays and dusts
in original containers and keep them
tightly closed. Never keep them in
anything but the original container.
f.. Never smoke while spraying or
busting.
5. Avoid inhaling sprays or dusts.
When directed on the label, wear pro-
tective clothing and masks.
6. Do not spill sprays or dusts on
the skin or clothing. If they are
spilled, remove contaminated cloth
ing Immediately and wash thoroughly.
z. Wash hands and face and change
to clean clothing after spraying or
busting. Also wash clothing each day
and before reuse.
s. Cover food and water containers
when treating around livestock or pet
areas. Do not contaminate fish ponds.
9. Use separate equipments for ap-
plying hormone-type herbicides in
order to avoid accidental injury to
susceptible plants.
10. Always dispose of empty con-
tanners SO that they pose no hazard
to humans, animals or valuable plants.
IL. Observe label directions and
cautions to keep residues on edible
portions of plants within the limits
permitted by law.
IL. If symptoms of illness occur
during or shortly after spraying or
busting call a physician or get the
patient to a hospital Immediately. !

vote can be meaningful in an cleo

votes difference in each of the states

the result.

For every 500 that u S. sheepmen
received for their shorn wool in 1859

These payments represent the diff

sary to induce sheepmen to produce

tai eft IN fssli-
tics. So, he argues, Kennedy is likely
to keep moving further and further
in that direction. To businessmen,
Nixon is already explaining that this
will mean, new and higher taxes, more
union say-so in the operation of small
plants and general disruption of
the economy. He is using scare tactics
to persuade them that Kennedy is
surrounding himself with radicals.
But Nixon is also aware that there
are more votes among working people
than there are in the business COM
munity. 1t is in this area that the Re-
publicans have their hardest job; but
they are not entirely without power
to make an appeal to working people.
What has happened, almost I'M
noticed by the press, is that in the
last few days the nations money
managers governors of the Fed
eral Reserve Board-have quietly re-
leased tremendous amount of new
credit.
A POTENT WEAPON
Thus, at the very moment business
men are being warned away from
Kennedy, they are also receiving the
to persuade their en-
ployes and possible customers that it
might be good idea to string along
with Nixon if they want prosperity"
to continue, uninterrupted.
The Federal Reserve, which insists
It is being absolutely neutral" in the |

IS in new loans.
This means that, at crucial mo-
ment for MIR. Nixon, about $4.6
billions in new credit is unfrozen.
That's quite a campaign kitty;
wen Joe Kennedy might not be able
o match it.
Some other aspects of the Nixon
are also becoming clearer.
He has decided to downplay the
Tord Republican and to stress him
elf. "People vote for the man, not
he party these days. he said in a
ak which also received little at
ention.
But since Nixon feels he cannot
with Kennedy in the matter
f personal charm, he has decided on
mother tack. His humble beginnings,
is sense of humility at the great
onor which the party has bestowed
pom him, his wife's days in an or
manage these are the attributes,
and qualities that he
rings to the job.

At the end of June, 1860. net
farm income in the u. S. was rum
ming nine per cent below the low
1859 figure. Unless there's a sharp
upturn 1860 net farm income will
be the lowest since 1912.
In the 1950-1953 period Montana
net farm income averaged 1920 mil
lion annually. Since 1853 the average
has been $186 million. That's $34
million year less for Montana farm
ers, or 1904 million during the six
year period.
QUAKE AREA ROADS PROGRESS
In report to Senator Mansfield on
the anniversary of the disastrous
Madison River earthquake, the Bu-
reau of Public Roads reported the
first construction project on the Mad
ison River Road is scheduled for let
ting to contract late this fall. This
section will extend from the crest
of the earthquake slide to the upper
end of Quake Lake.
Upon the completion of this prof.
ect, Mansfield was bold, traffic
through the canyon "can be resumed
subject to the limitations imposed by
temporary facilities" II is planned
to have the road in shape for travel
next summer.
The Madison Canyon Earthquake
Area established by the Forest Service
is already attracting many visitors
and the slide area is we'll worth see
ing from either the Route 191 or
Route 10 side. When the new road is
completed the quake area, plus Madi-
son River trout fishing, should bring
tourists out in unprecedented num-
bers.
