Hemingway Characters
All Alike to Poet Pound
By DAVID BREASTED
Star STAFF Writer

Hem never knew one human
being from another, and never
much cared"
= That was poet Ezra Pounds
appraisal of the late novelist
Ernest Hemingway's artistic un-
derstanding Of people, Hugh
Kenner, University of Califor-
mia professor Of English, said
yesterday.
. The stormy poet. Mr.. Henner
explained, was not being unkind
to Mr.. Hemingway, longtime
friend of Mr.. Pound. 1t was
simply that Mr.. Pound reserved
the right to candid literary
evaluations of all his best of
friends, but rose to defend them
from anyone else'S criticism.
Pound felt that Hemingway
understood himself = sort of =
and that his major characters
were himself Hemingway in
one way or another. The other
people were just types. 1 think
I'd agree" Mr.. Kenner said.
Fought for Release
He heard the remark about
Hemingway during one of eight
visits to Mr.. Pound in the years
from 1916 to 1858 when the
poet held forth at st. Eliza
= beths Hospital. He had been
committed there after being
tried for allegedly reasonable
broadcastS for Mussolini dur
ing World War II.
Mr.. Hemingway. one of the
leading agitators for Mr..
Pounds release. once wrote
that what I want to do is get
him the hell out Of St. Eliza
beths, have him given a pass
port and allow him to return
to Italy where he is justly
valued as a poet"
Mr.. Pound, rs, is back in
self-imposed exile in Italy, but
the salons for visiting intelli-
gentsia he presided over at the
hospital are well remembered.
according to Mr.. Kenner, 80,
author of THE Poetry IF Ezra

On Annexation

The Falls Church City Coun-
Gil last night voted to post
pone until next week a decision
on whether to appeal the city's
recently defeated annexation
suit.
The move came in the wake
of pleas by citizens attending
the meeting to put the money
necessary for an appeal to
other uses and counter-pleas
by council members to study
the facts closely.
A circuit court on June %
denied an attempt by the city
to annex as square miles Of
Fairfax County-including the
Seven Corners shopping center.
May Be Last Chance
The move to consider more
fully whether to appeal was
initiated by Vice Mayor Lee
Rhoads, who said that If the
city did not appeal the suit
now. it might never get the
chance again.
Earlier at the public hearing.
City Clerk Harry E. Wells read
a report on the results of the
annexation suit. Then, City At
torney Phillip Brophy explained
there was enough evidence Of
error in the circuit courts de-
cision to warrant an appeal. He
d d e d, however, that the
chances of winning an appeal
were less than even.
$4,000 to Appeal
After Mr.. Brophy announced
that the cost of an appeal would
be about $4,000, several citizens
arose to ask that any such ac-
tion be dropped and that the
money be used to better the
ow-existing city-notably the
city's schools.
Council member Charles Sey-
mour said he felt the annexa-
ton suit had denied the school
board mot one cent" although
he conceded that the money
saved on an appeal could be
used to better the city.
The council decided to call q
special meeting next week to
clear the action once and for
all, although 1t could wait until
its next regularly scheduled
meeting August %. The city
has so days in which to file an
appeal.

Senate Axes Nutter's Proposal TO Loot
Hail Boards Reserve Fund

Republicans, in the best ICON
man tradition, were, from the Gov
ernor on down, determined to mis-
appropriate various special purpose
funds. These included the $2.1 mil
lion State Hail Board reserve fund,
and reserve funds of the State Aero
nautics Agency, Oil and Gas Commits
sion and the Veterans Bonus. AL
though there would have been as
much justice-and many times as
many millions of dollars-had they
proposed confiscating the Workmen's
Comp, Unemployment Comp and
various pension funds, for some rea-
son these were not on the expropria-
ton list this year.
Of all the funds in question, the
move to place the Hail Fund in the
General Fund caused the loudest out
cry. Farmers, through their insurance
premiums and by careful manage
ment, had built that fund up without
a nickel of state appropriation. OPP
ponents to turning the fund over to
the General Fund, pointed out that if
this kind of ''legalized larceny" could
be perpetrated on the Hail Board,
there would be no end to such a prac-
tice as in each succeeding biennium
the Administrator reached out furth-
er for funds to balance it's budget
without increasing taxes.
The House vote was on HB 227
which would have turned the $2.1
million reserve over to the General
Fund. This bill died in the Senate on
adoption of an adverse committee re-
port. The Senate vote was on HB
167, which, by proposing to abolish

Unemployment
COMPENSATION Act Revision

The number one objective of Mon
tana State Chamber of Commerce was
the drastic cutting back of eligibility
under the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Act. BY and large the State
Co.ofC. had done we'll it's attempt to
mislead the people and the legisla-
ture, and as a result, many jobless
Montanans in the future will find
only Public Welfare assistance avail
able to tide them over winter periods
and periods of economic recession.

Silver Bow, Gustafson, Hawks, An
derson of Yellowstone, Loman and
Cerovski-as passed by the House
would have denied eligibility to ap-
proximately one third of all workers
heretofore covered, and cut the UCC
annual pay-out in half, or from SIP
to Sc million. Certain "softening"
provisions were made in the Senate,
which will reduce the annual payout
an estimated $4.3 million instead of
Sc million. The latter includes ex-
tending benefit period to 26 weeks

fits to disabled workers-bringin
such payments up to within mailing

set by Public Welfare-writes new
definition of injury" into the Work
mems Compensation Act
The bill was introduced by Blewett
and Bradford.
This new definition, supposedly
aimed at a few isolated cases where
compensation has been awarded for
contraction of polio, and some other
extreme examples, actually will cause
endless court litigation while a new
legal determination is being made as
to what does constitute an industrial
injury. While this lawyers relief
act'' is being interpreted, many dis
abled will have to become an added
burden on Public Welfare. Many
others, although suffering an impair
ment of health because of job condi-
tions, will find themselves permanent
ly barred from compensation because
of the narrowed definition of what
constitutes an industrial injury.

Same Number of Farmers
As 100 Years Ago

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Farmers don't necessarily want to
celebrate the anniversary of the Civil
War this way, but the facts show
their numbers are down to Civil War
levels. u. S. statistics show farm
population in 1860 was 1888, 900,
the same as in 1860. Highest farm
population was in 1916 when it
reached 100000.

Roll Calls On Some Important Proposals
Measures Affecting State's Wage Farmers

from the present % for those eligible
for maximum benefit period. This
latter provision was made in order
for Montana to qualify for the 13
weeks of extended temporary COM
pensation now provided under federal
act.
While the maximum number of
weeks is increased to &c, and the
maximum weekly payment upped
from $32 to $34, very few Montana
workers will be eligible to draw the
maximum number of weeks because
of drastic stiffening ON earnings
requirements for all four quarters
of each year. In a seasonal economy
state such as Montana the now re-
quired 500 or more earnings in the
third and fourth quarters for maxi
mum number of weeks payments
means that several thousand crafts
men in the building and construction
trades, the numbering industry and
the heavy equipment field such as
road building, will at most be able
to secure only 20 weeks comp during
the average five and a half month
winter lay-off period. For many
others, because of winter shutdowns
and the highly seasonal nature of
their employment, ID weeks will be

HB 27-while propagandized as
real help to STEADY" employers, such
as Main Street Businessmen-wil
actually find them on the short end
in their cash registers because of the
reduced purchasing power most I'M
employed workers will have during
part of each winter. Likewise, this
cutback in jebless benefits will re-
suit, in an increased pay-out by Pub
lie Welfare-paid for by all of us
in our taxes-that many jobless be
able to avoid starvation.
HB 27 passed the House 75-14, and
the Senate; 48-5. The Senate roll call
showed only five-Durkee, Haffer-
man, McKeon, Mahoney and Reardon
opposing passage. Newman was ex-
cused because of illness and MacDon-
aid (Garfield) and Hibbs were tenn
porarily absent from the Senate while
the vote was being recorded.
In the House, in addition to final
passage vote, was a roll call on behalf
of the so-called "small business
amendment by Schwinden. This
amendment would have limited the
increase the comp premium could take
for stable employers to one per cent
at any one jump. This was to offset
drastic jumps such as the one put in
by the UCC in April 1860 which
raised stable employers from one half
of one per cent to 2.7 per cent, or an
increase of over five hundred per
cent. Schwinden's amendment re-
ceived absolutely no support from the
party of the small Businessman

Major Agricultural Legislation
Taxation Of Farmer-Own co-operatives

lib 131-the farmer coop tax Dill
by 13 Republicans and three con-
sentative Democrats-was the num-
Der two objective of Montana State
Chamber of Commerce, ranked Sec

POLITICALLY expedient" 10 vote for
HB 131.
Sponsors of HB 131 were: Republic
cans: Mathers, Edwards, Anderson of
Yellowstone, Goan, Smith, Stearns,
Schye, Spilde, Resell, Pierce, Beam,
Hawks and Adams; Democrats: Bush,
Gustafson and Regain.
HB 131 removes the corporation
license tax exemption from farmer
co-ops, rural telephone co-ops, credit
unions and building and loan associa-
lions. Actually, what it does is place
Montana in the position of being the
only state in the union which attempts
to make patron overpayments to q
cooperative, income to the coop.
Elsewhere among the states, and in
the eyes of federal tax authorities,
such overpayments are liabilities
against the coop, not income, and
are taxable only after being re-
funded or allocated to the patron
making the overpayment.
.HB 131 may, under existing court
decisions, result in such people-owned
organizations paying only minimum
$40 license fee, however that was not
the intent of the sponsors. Floor de-
bate in the House brought from Ma
jority Leader Anderson that if HB
131 didn't put the A " per cent cor
poration license tax on such over
payments, he and his fellow sponsors
of the bill would be back in 1868 to
finish the job.
HB 131, which is now law, destroys
very basic principle of taxation. 1t
is punitive and has as it's purpose the
harrassment and financing weakening
of farmer-owned co-operatives.
