METCALF TO INTERIOR.
PUBLIC WORKS

Senator Metcalf received his re-
quested seat on the Interior Com
mittee, formerly headed by Senator
Murray. The new chairman is Sena-
tor Clinton P. Anderson of New
Mexico.
Another new member of the COM
mittee is Senator (and former Gov
ernor) Joe Hickey of Wyoming. Met
calf ranks ahead of Hickey on the
committee because prior Congress
sional service counts more, in deter
mining committee seniority, than
prior service as a governor.
The Interior Committee has juris-
diction over public lands generally,
mineral resources, forest reserves
and national parks created from the
public domain, irrigation and recla-
nation, insular possessions, military
parks and battlefields, Indian lands
and measures relating to the care,
education and management of In
dian affairs.
Senator Metcalf is the first Mon
tanan to serve on the Public Works
Committee in either House. His
new committee is headed by Sem
ator Dennis Chavez of New Mex
leo.
Under the Legislative Reorganiza-
ton Act of 1916, which established
this and other present-day standing
committees, Public Works has juris-
diction over the following:
L. Flood control and Improvement |
of rivers and harbors;
2. Public works for the benefit of
navigation, and bridges and dams
(other than international bridges
and dams)

With this issue begins the seventh
year of the WASHINGTON NOTE
BOOK. Retiring Sen. James E. Muir
ray turned over to his colleagues,
Senator Mansfield and successor,
Senator Metcalf, the names and ad-
dresses of Montanans who receive
this weekly report. Persons who re-
ceived the newsletters written by
Senator Metcalf, when he was a
representative, will be added to the
NOTEBOOK mailing list.
The beginning of a session is a
good time to go over the ground
rules under which the NOTEBOOK
operates.
1t was started in 1856 to augment
newspaper reporting of Washington
news important to Montanans. At
that time, Montana was one of only
two states (Wyoming was the other)
without a single newspaper CORES
pondent in Washington. To this date,
no newspaper in either state has
correspondent here. Idaho has none
either now.
The NOTEBOOK is usually writ
ten by Brit Englund or myself of
Senator Metcalf's staff, or Ray Dock
stader of Senator Mansfield's staff.
1t is sent out when Congress is in
session and for a few weeks there
after. Sometimes, particularly in the
post-adjournment period, the NOTE
BOOK is written by guest editors.
Anyone who wants to get on, or off,
the NOTEBOOK or Senator Met
calf's newsletter list, can do SO by
writing him at the Senate Office
Building, Washington 25, DC. If
you receive duplicate copies of either,
or change your address, please let

LONDON, FEB, 20 (AP)-
President NasSer Of the United
Arab Republic has urged Russia
and the West to keep out Of the
Congo to insure the peace OF
Africa, diplomatic sources re-
ported last night.
Mr.. Nasser also advised the
United States. Britain and Rus
sia he thinks initiatives for q
Congo settlement should come
mainly from African states with
Asian military backing, these
sources said.
In private messages to Presi-
dent Kennedy. Prime Minister
Macmillan and Soviet Premier
Khrushchev. the U. A. r. leader
proposed forming an African
controlled United Nations COM
mand to take over all response
bility for law and order in the
Congo.
He wrote five days ago to the
three permanent members of
the Security Council with which
the U. A. r. has diplomatic re-
lations. Cairo has no relations
with the other two. Nationalist
China and France.
Informants said Mr.. Nasser's
views resemble those set forth
by President Kwame Kkrumah
Of Ghana in a message last
week to U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammerskjold.
Mr.. Nasser was understood to
have warned that the interven-
ton of any Of the big powers in
the Congo would wreck the

The Prince, who fled from

tends he is still the legal Pre-
mier of Laos. He left his home
in exile this week for a visit to
rebel territory in Northern
Laos.

three neutral neighbor nations
to oversee Laos neutrality, was
"factious and devoid of any
practical value"
