Unemployment
Gripping Main
Street Montana

President John F. Kennedy's pro-
gram to stimulate the tagging econ
omy by building roads, schools and
hospitals prompted the wire services
to press Gov. Donald Nutter into a
conference Saturday. Widely diverg-
ent news stories resulted.
Headline writer's billed one story,
estate Has No Plans - while an
other story hailed Governor An
nounces About Drive Aimed at Full
Employment in State.
Nutter pinned his hopes on bright
ening employment in Montana by
attracting secondary financial aid
from Denver and Minneapolis-sec-
ond mortgage 'kiting' to encourage
small businesses. If Denver and Min
neapolis could not provide this as
sistance he would get it from the
Chase National Bank in New York
until it was pointed out by column
ist that he might run into difficulty
with the Federal Reserve districting
regulations.
Nutter said, "We had 10 thousand
unemployed last week. turning to
this reporter he asked, ''How many
do we have this week."
"19 thousand, l responded.
The Unemployment Compensation
Commission report On Tuesday had
showed 20 thousand of insurable
workers without jobs. This includes
"a total of Liza unemployed work
ers who have exhausted their claim
benefits since the first of the year."
1904 exhausted their % weekly pay
ments in Montana last year.
To the 20 thousand insurable job
less should be added several thou
sand other jobseekers who are able
to work but do not qualify for COM
pensation.

of jobless is gripping the Main

Democratic Women
Pledge Efforts
To Aid Education

Montana's Democratic Womens'
clubs disapprove heartily of the ''cut-
backs in appropriations of our schools
and institutions for higher learning"
as proposed by the Republican adj
ministration, according to a resolution
passed by the organizations execu-
tive board at meeting in Helena
last Thursday.
Concerned for the progress of edu-
cation in Montana if the cuts proposed
are permitted to stand, the board re-
solved that "our children are the
greatest resource of our country +. :.
(they) must have the very best edu-
cational opportunity to prepare them
for the ever more complex problems
they will have to face - if this
nation is not to inevitably fall be-
hind in the world struggle :"
They also noted that Montana is
near the bottom of the group of IL
western states in it's support of edu-
cation"
Instead of cutting back, the clubs
board believes we should "strive to
bring the Importance of adequate
support of education to the women of
the state" They also intend to do
their utmost to elect to the next
legislature men and women who will
pledge themselves to work for ade-
quate support for education
State President Norma Keil, Ledg-
er, presided at the meeting. At that
time nominating committee was ap-
pointed to name candidates for state

mittees were appointed to handle the

Workmen's Comp. Bill

Helena, Montana
In your edition of the Montana Citi-
zen, dated February II, 1861, page 4
under the heading -Four Against Comp
Measure, you stated that four repre-
sentatiWes voted against House Bill
No. 140, a bill to increase weekly pay
ments for workmens compensation
and re-defining of injury. Votes cast
against it were by Rep. Emmons, Harp
er, lombard and Picard.
We, the undersigned representa-
tfves, did not vote against the in
creases in benefits, but rather the
new definition of injury i'm Section
@ of House Bill No. 40.
This new definition of injury was
referred to the office of Doepker e.
Hennessey, attorneys at law, Butte,
Montana, and their explanation fol-
lows Quote Injury or injured-means
a Sudden and Tangible happening of a
Traumatfc nature producing an Imme-
dfate or Prompt Result and occurrin g
from without and such physical condi-
tion as results therefrom. Emphasis
ours)p. Unquote.
Quote: when you look at the words
Sudden and Tangible together with the
word Traumatic, it will be noted that
before any injury can be compensate,
it will be necessary that the injury
be perceptible to the senses Dunk q
Wagnalls Dictionary, and also that
it must be caused by or resulting from
wound or any external injury (Trau-
matte Blacks Law Dictionary, not
only must those conditions exist but
the injury must produce Immediate or
Prompt Result" unquote.

milton, will place Montana back in the

AT Legislative Banquet

Montana Democrats, like Demo
Gratis in various other western states,
last year lost governorships and other
important state and federal offices
because they were not united, said
Cal Rawlings, speaker at the BIZ
ennial Democratic banquet here in
Helena, last Thursday night.
Rawlings, national committeeman
from Utah since 1910, and the old
est man in years of service on the
Democratic national committee, said
that lack of party unity was a major
factor in the reverses suffered by
Democrats in the west last November
while nationally the party was re-
gaining the Presidency. "The little
things that divide u.s. he said, ''aren't
half as important as the big things
that should unite u.s."
Rawlings was high in his praise of
President John F. Kennedy, and
pointed out how he had overcome
religious prejudice and other OBJ
stacles in winning in November. The
Utahn termed Kennedy imam of
action, President who will mot
tolerate conflicts of interests, and
one who is determined to build public
confidence in his administration. He
also briefly reviewed some of the
major problems facing the new adj
ministration, including: our lag in
space development and our deteriorat-
ing foreign affairs, and our lag in
economic growth as a result of "eight
years of drift :"
The speaker also emphasized the
growing Importance of the West to
the nation and the need for the West
ern States Conference of Democrats
taking an increasingly active role in
keeping the problems of the West
constantly before the attention of
Washington.
He said this is ''the age of the
Pacific the West has become of
age. We've got to be regionally-
minded and united in keeping Wash
ington informed about our needs.
Just as the Age of the Mediterranean
is passed, the Age of the Atlantic is
passing, he stated, and said that "the
great new period in the history of
our civilization is the Age of the
Pacific :"
He pointed to the enormous un-
tapped or only slightly scratched re-
sources of the West, and the growing
of commerce with newly
developing countries across the Pa
cific, as important reasons why the
West is destined to play a major role
in national affairs within the imme-
diate future.

Tuesday the Commission was only
able to let to contract $1,427,108 for
a total of $2,283,261 for this cal
endar year. Even last calendar year
had $10,435,745 let to contract at
this time. On the fiscal year basis
the department is falling even furth-
er behind and will never be able to
get rid of the ~ millions scheduled
to be spent.
State matching money has been
piling up so rapidly that when the
state school equalization payment
was made in January the Highway
was asked to delay investing eight
million dollars in government bonds
until the regular flow of tax money
into Treasurer Edna Humans cash
box became normal again. Otherwise
the Treasurer would have had to
cash in the ten millions of surplus
which is invested in government
bonds.
Fred Quinnell, Jr., chief engi-
neer, was called on the carpet by
Gov. Don Nutter and 1t. Gov. Tim
Babcock Saturday and the entire
commission was on the same carpet
Monday morning to explain why
things are not rolling.
President John F. Kennedy has
released the Bureau of Public Roads
funds earmarked for March, April
and May to be available for next
months bidding. The planning barrel
was scraped and only two extra jobs
were found to be included in the
March letting.
A Miles City delegation headed by
Clark Jorgenson and Repr. Ted Mel
stead expressed their fears to the
commission that the bypass to be
constructed around their town may
be detrimental to the tourist indus
try there. They were treasured that
the Interstate would be extended east
and west of Miles City within two
years.
Another bone of contention was
the REMEMBERING of Highway PIP.
Instead of ending the route in Miles
City as is presently done PIP will
head west from Broadus to Yellow
stone Park. The delegation wanted
either to delay the number change or
be signed on the 312 route. They
thought that the number change
might affect the chances of getting
some work done on the road south
from Miles City.

yers' act. We are regressing if we
take this definition
McKeon pointed out "when you
eliminate vast numbers of people
from coverage under this act you
force those people onto our welfare
rolls, someone has to pick up the
check and that will be the welfare
system.
The defeat on this bill was con-
elusive. The Senate lost its So
called dignity and the chairman of
the committee of the whole had
problems keeping order. The SEN
ators were calling question.
question. They were weary of
the potential weeping of widows
and orphans; they had had enough
of the spectre of the disabled body
of the working man. The pleasant
contemplation of how to assure
greater profits to industry are not
often married by these raw con-
siderations of life and death and
the fate of unfortunate survivors
they wanted to get it over with
as quickly as possible.-GB
On the final vote on HB lao SEN
ators had to choose between in
creases in weekly benefits and the
damaging change in the definition
of injury in the law. The increased
benefits were considered "come
on" for the drastic definition change.
Those who voted against 140 felt
the financial exchange would con-
stitute a betrayal of future victims
