Mai. Roberts, like Gen.

Mai. Roberts took up Gen.
Walkers defense. He was later
transferred to Fort Lee as a
supply officer of the 2nd
Logistical Command.
Referring to the ISL vote in
the Senate Armed Services
Committee approving the in

Already, we have won the first

Maj. Roberts said his fellow
Army officers are sympathetic
with his position, but few Of
them will say anything because

Mai. Gen. Edwin A. Walker as
commander of the oath infantry
division in West Germany
hopes to tell his side of the
story soon.
Mai. Arch E. Roberts said
the story will be told 'if and
when" a Senate subcommittee
holds public hearings to probe
charges that the Pentagon is
n1uzzling Army officers. The
subcommittee is scheduled to
meet in January.
He said he hopes he will be
called to testify.
"Subversive elements have

came up with the charge he
had violated Army regulations

Mai. Roberts, in talking to a
newsman at Fort Lee, stressed
two points:
First, although he was the
author Of the troop informa-
ton program that was the cen

not called to testify at the hear
ings preceding Gen. Walkers
removal from command of the
oath division.
Second, the troop informa-
ton program was based on di-
receives and information sup
piled by the Army Department
itself.
Mai. Roberts said he had

society until the controversy
erupted.

Olsen Proposes Bill
To Govern Harvesting
of Indian Timber

Legislation aimed at putting "the
cutting of timber on Indian trust
lands on new and common sense
basis of prudent management was
introduced in the Congress by Rep.
Arnold Olsen, Tuesday.
''On the Flathead Reservation with
in my own Congressional district"
Olsen stated, "many elderly Indians
are unable to provide for the basic
necessities of life even though they
own timbered allotments, because the
Department of Interior regulations
consider their small allotment as part
of a theoretical mythical forest man
aged on sustained-yield basis. My
bill would provide for the cutting of
Indian forest lands on the same basis
as those of non-Indians-on the basis
of prudent management or what
makes sense in the particular cir
cumstance.
81 think an Indian-like anyone
else-should have his resources such
as timber available to him to help
meet hospital, groceries and other
expenses for the necessities of life"

Higher Minimum Wage Would Improve
Montunu's Competitive Position

Congressional action to increase
the federal minimum wage from $1.0C
to $1.25 would enhance the position
of Montana industries which must
now compete with similar business
in low-wage states" Sen. Lee Metcalf
stated this week in outlining Mon
tana's interest in higher minimum
and extension of coverage of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1888.
A higher minimum wage, he said,
would also ''help Montana farmers,
and the business communities which
serve them, because beneficiaries
would spend most of their increased
income for food and fiber" Metcalf
told the Senate Labor subcommittee
hearing the bill.
Montana lumber and timber prod
uct' companies, (which account for
about one-third of Montana's manu-
featuring employment" Metcalf said,
compete with similar firms in other
sections of the country where wages
are below Montana levels.
can increase in the minimum
wage would make Montana timber
and food products more COMPETE
tive by reducing the wage differ
entail advantage held by some of
the lowest-wage firms in this coun-
try Metcalf said.
Even though Montana is above the
national avarao,e in WaUa rates Mar
calf continued, some 5000 Montana
workers would get pay raise under
the bill. Average pay of manufacture
ing workers in Montana during the
most recent month for which figures
are available was $2.49 an hour, COM
pared with a national average of |
1892, Metcalf said.
