THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST
THE FORAND BILL

Do you have any idea what stirs
the American voter these days?
Would you say nuclear testing, anti
Communism, the missile gap? Or
maybe presidential politics? If you
said any of these you would be-wrong.
The other day an old friend and
were having a leisurely lunch at the
National Press Club. We got to talk
ing about books. The conversation
ranged to the Eisenhower Macmillan
conference at Camp David. Eventual
ly we got around to the other sub
jects that interest men in their middle
40s.
Ny friend then asked a question.
He wanted to know what | thought
the general public was writing about
to Senators and Congressman? My
answer was civil rights. After all this
is the principal subject of argument
at the Capitol these days and the
lunch-counter sit-downs in the South
have kept it in the headlines.
But this, too, was wrong. Civil
rights was the No. 2 topic. The No. 3
subject was the woeful state of
American education.
But the No. issue, so far as those
who write to their Congressman is
concerned. was the Forand Bill Along
with it were letters on the high cost
of medical care and particularly the
high cost of drugs. None of the other
subjects, not even civil rights, ap-
preached this subject in voter in
terest. 9H

The five main points of Acting
Gov. Paul Cannon's campaign for the
governorship came to light in a press
conference last Friday before he
fastened to San Diego, California,
to attend final rites for his brother,
Ross.
If elected Cannon will:
1. Work to improve farm conditions
especially for the small family farm
whose conditions he saw first hand
on his recent trip in northern and
eastern Montana.
2. Formulate a far-reaching high
way program to eliminate the "piece

WATCH ON The POTOMAC

I checked this information and
there was scarcely lawmaker who
has not heard from his constituents
about the bill, or related subjects.
These were not, I might add, form
letters, or postcards prepared by some
organization for simple signature.
Usually these were personal, hand
written letters, from older citizens
who told in various ways and with
considerable feeling what it means to
wither on the vine-for lack of
money to get decent medical treat
ment.

The first Washington, d. C. hear
ing on the proposed authorization of
multi-purpose project, Knowles or
Paradise Dam, in the Clark Fork
Flathead Basin was held Tuesday,
March 20, before subcommittee of
the Senate Committee on Interior
and Insular Affairs. The lead-off wit
nesses in support of the bill, S1226,
were Montana Senators James E..
Murray and Mike Mansfield and Con-
gresham Lee Metcalf. Testimony was
also received from departmental wit
nesses representing the Corps of
Army Engineers and the Bureau of
Reclamation.
General E. C. Itschner, chief of
engineers, Corps of Army Engineers,
gave the Knowles Dam proposal
big boost and stated ''The project
is an extremely good one +. firmly
believe construction of the Knowles
project should be started soon.'
General Itschner pointed out the
Importance of this project in relation
to the current Canadian-American
negotiations over cooperative devel-
opment of the Columbia River Basin.
When asked if the authorization of
the Knowles project would strengthen
the position of the United States ne
gotiations and possibly save some of
the downstream benefits for credit
to the United States later on, Gen
eral Itschner replied Eyes, the au-
thorization of the Knowles project
and the authorization of any other
projects that provide storage in the
United States in the near future
would strengthen the justification for
the inclusion of these projects in a
schedule of construction times.
Therefore, in negotiating with
Canada, if we could show them that
we plan to construct projects on a
schedule which is earlier than the
time the Canadian projects could pos
sibly be effected, that would mean
that the United States projects would
be considered to be the next added
to the system.
THAT is important because the
first project added to the existing
system is the one which takes the
cream of the benefits. The next
one down takes less and SO on"
Senator Murray. in his testimony,
called attention to the strong local
support for the bill, evidenced by
polls, petitions, election of
proponents and defeat of most OPP

Senator Mansfield referred to the
many benefits that resulted from the |
of Hungry Horse and
stated that the Paradise-Knowles de-
velopment could have an equally i'm
oortant role to play in making Mon
ANA truly a Treasure State. The SEN

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee, on Thursday, March 81, failed
to secure enough votes to report out
the Forand Bill, to provide medical
care for the aged by boosting Social
Security payments, and this week a
move may be started to force the
measure before the House for vote.
The Forand plan would pay for so
days of hospital care, up to 120 days
of nursing home care, and surgical
benefits for about IL million persons
now eligible for old age and survivors
insurance benefits. The cost would
have been paid for by individuals and
their employers through an increase
of one-fourth of one per cent in. the
social security tax paid by both en-
ploye and employer. COP lawmakers
and the Administration have strongly
opposed the Forand Bill to take care
of Americas ailing aged persons.

Route 1893. a meandering,
two-lane highway stretching
from Kensington to Wheaton
and Four Corners and beyond,
has become one of Maryland's
leading traffic congestion pro-
ducers.
State and Montgomery County
officials hopefully declare traffic
tieups, which last Friday and

In severity once the "sightsee-
ing" novelty Of the new center
has waned.
But the roads tendency to
generate what highway plan

"queuing phenomenon" existed
long before the opening of the
regional shopping center.
Must Await Pattern
What steps are being con-
sidered by local and State
authorities to remedy the bot
tleneck on University boulevard
there?
For the moment, area officials
agree, nothing can be done. But
in a week or 10 days. when
traffic flowing into the new
merchandise mart will presum-
ably settle into a regular pat
tern, some minor traffic controls
may be set up.
In the indefinite future more
relief is expected. Route 1873 is
near the top Of the State Roads
Commissions priority list and
is actually at the top of the
County Councils list Of recon-
mendations to the commission.
Widening Slated
William L. Shook, acting
District Engineer said the road
agency recently awarded a con-
tract to widen a quarter-mile
stretch of l93-from the new
shopping center to the south
west toward Kensington. He
said the section should be in
use in June.

clared that when traffic pat

And Treasures

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-
Prices Of Treasury and corpo-
rate bonds advanced this week
in light, rather nervous trading.
Short term interest rates
continued to ease. The Treas
ury's latest issue Of 13-week
bills dropped to a rate Of 1858
per cent. lowest in six months.
Commercial paper rates were
cut.
For the first time, experts
conceded the decline of short
term money rates stemmed
from more than seasonal fac
tors. Throughout January
they linked falling interest
rates TO a seasonal flow of
money back into the banks
after the holidays.
Some bond specialists cited
investor reliance on stock mar
ket movements as the underly-
ing cause of what they called
the bond markets nervous
tone. Traders noted a flock of
addict buy orders from small
investors when the stock mar
ket is falling and then a rush
Of sell orders Tuesday when
the stock market rallied.
Among the Governments, the
312s Of 1890 advanced one and
1882 at 81 1882 bid. The 3As
Of 1983-78 and the 3As Of 1885
climbed 24/32 each at IS 1882
and "a 20/32 bid respectively,
But the IS of 1895 added only
1882 at 80 1882 and the Vic
tory 2l2s Of December 1972-67
eked out only 4/32 at SO 1892.
