New Law Helps
The Disabled
Regain Dignity

One worthwhile piece of legislation
enacted by the 1861 Legislature ap-
proved the transferring of up to
100000 per biennium of Industrial
Accident funds to the Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation of the State
Board of Education, for the refrain
ing of industrially disabled workers.
In the months since the effective
date of the act, Encouraging prog
ress" has been made in getting the
expanded rehabilitation program I'M
derwcy. Vo-Rehab Director Glenn
Lockwood told THE VOICE this
week.
Lockwood reports he is getting
splendid cooperation from his fell
low lab members, Chairman Robert
Swanberg and Comm. of Labor Maur-
ice Jones.
He also points up the need for
getting information 10 newly-disabled
workers on the services available
through his division. Workers inter-
ested in retaining should contact
lab directly

avail themselves of rehabilitation
services because of family financial
matters. In most cases it was impos-
sible to go to some other town for
training and yet maintain a family
on the limited weekly compensation
payments permitted by law.
The new act has provision that
disabled man accepted for re-
Mobilization shall not only continue
to receive regular workmen's COM
pensation for his family, but shall
be allowed up to $50 a week for
his maintainance while in train
ing.
In addition, Vo-Rehab provides tut

Commission Taking Firmer
Grip On Road Department

Jones, will step in to keep the COM
mission from straying off the beaten
path. The money must be used and
as Cowan put is, 'sIt's an intricate
business to get this road money
spent"
Not only is the commission putting
the hurry up act on the department
by providing the BPR with project
approvals 60 days in advance, but
is beginning to act as budget watch
dog. A request from George Sine,
information director, for new movie
camera with zoom lens was turned
down flat when it was demonstrated
that QuinnelPs inventory of cameras
owned by the department did not
include Shines present movie maker.
The three stripping machines asked
by the department which would have
cost about $4,000 apiece with eight
men crews, were vetoed. Instead the
commission substituted $4,000 models
operated by two men.
The increased efficiency of the
Commission since the secret session
methods were abandoned because of
press pressure is the outstanding re-
form initiated by Comm. James. The
department is now getting a good
play in the daily press. James looks
and acts like man who should run
for Congress.-FS

Membership and
Lobbying--AMA
vs.. AH-OO

The American Medical Associa-
ton has approximately $4,000 ac-
tive members. The AFL-CIO has
roughly 1880, 900. But guess who
spent the most on legislative activi-
ties during the first six months of
the year.
The ANA, heaviest lobby spender
of any organization during the
January-June period, reported to
the Clerk of the House that it spent
$146, 984. 40, largely in successfully
fighting medical care for the aged
based on the Social Security sys-
tenn. In contrast, AFL-CIO spent
only $67, 96O.35. In short, the ANA,
with only 1.27 per cent as many
members as the AFL-CIO, spent
more than twice as much money
in influencing legislation.

NV Monfununs Ask Road Action

From Plains, Edwin Diehl, Alvin
Amundson, Don Coe, Jack HARDWOOD
and B. B. Owen came in search of
information about how the money
was going to be spent in their area.
The commission put the question of
the Perma Bridge to them and it
seemed that the department would
not be criticized for building the
bridge even if it would be flooded
in the future years. If school bus
dropped in the river there would be
no way to excuse the commission.
From Flathead-Lake counties the
commissioners from Flathead and
Lake counties were up against the
blaze for spending the secondary
money to connect Big Fork to the
forest road east behind the Mission
range. This money is desperately
needed on the East Shore and Fin
ley Point. The cooperative agreement
still stands on the Big Fork connection
because it would not be possible to
get Forest money for this construc-
ton for maybe 20 years, even if the
connection, which is outside of the
forest, could be placed on the forest
road program.

can absorb the values of these gains
or we may all face old age with a

Several ways of approaching the
solving of this problem have been
advanced by social scientists, she con-
tinued. One of these is extension of
the present policy of paying the cost

Mills, etc.,. "This," she contended,
''seems to merely exaggerate and ag-
gravate all the magnificent obsessions
of opponents to social responsibility
through taxes, rather than alleviate"
these obsessions.

on a proposal to appropriate 100000

construction projects was brought
into sharp focus at this weeks COM
mission meeting. The first five let

about a million and a half dollars
when at least four millions should be

Now that the huge pile of funds
has gotten out of hand, the new COM

The Highway Commission this week
filled it's traditional role as the place
to blow off the steam caused by the
political pressures which build up
in our cities and counties.
The delegations referred to one
another as liars and implied that the
commission was even worse.
From Hot Springs came HI. e.
Smith, Earl J. Barlow and Olin E..
Ashcraft who wanted to know what
was going to be done about the Perma
Bridge. The second hand bridge was
installed 35 years ago and has lost
all the cam-the metal is stretched
to the breaking point. The bridge
serves the Camas Prairie-Hot Springs
and surrounding areas as an access
to the Missoula trading and market
ing center.
The bridge lies in the area to be
flooded by either Knowles or Para
disc dams and spending the quarter
of million dollars needed to replace
it has been postponed for four or
five years now.
The Commission is going to write
the representatives in Congress asking
when either dam will be built. Even
when a dam is authorized by Con-
gress it takes at least seven years
to complete.
