at the time financially dependent upon us.
Most of them were recovering from the
ravages of the latest war. All of them were
aware that IL the United Nations was to be
financed then the United States must do it.
All of them were fully aware that If America
was to remain member, then the wiSest
course was to meet in the States. They re-
membered what we did to the old League of
Nations. New York was chosen because of its
accessibility. No matter how much honor we
may choose to derive from its presence, these
were the overwhelming considerations in the
selection of the site.

they resent the fact that pressing matters to

Part |

1.-THE opinions in this column do not
necessarily reflect those of this newspaper.
CGndadG IS a pen name for highly intelli-
gent citizen OF Montgomery County lUho has
definite ideas on many subjects. His opinions
are strong and often in the minority but it is
fett has OieOs may provoke thought on the
part of oar readers)
Dag Hammerskjold was dedicated serv-
ant of the United Nations He had all the
stubbornness of the righteous, but he had the
courage of his convictions. He was able to
stand aloof from the bombaSt of both Moscow
and Kennedy's Washington. One wishes that
he might have lived out his life in peace at
his Swedish village.
Regrettable as was his death, Hammer
skiold had outlived his usefulness as Secre-
tary General Despite his recent canonization
by the American press, he was human be-
ing with the usual mote in his eye His re.
tirement was urgent if the necessary evolu-
ton of the United Nations was to come about.
In a sense we had made him "our man."
and we were stuck with him and therefore
with his policies To have supported necessary
changes in the organization at this time would
have seemed like pulling the rug from under
him. This came about in reaction to Russian
demands that he go. Had we had more
imaginative administration, instead of one
reduced to little more than reaction to Rus
sian gambits and clinging to the status quo,
we might have been prepared for the vacancy
that occurred. AS it turned out we were so
busy propping Hammerskjold up that we lost
sight of alternatives. AS matter of fact, in
usual fashion, our reaction was so outraged
and sanctimonious that initiative was not part
of our own policy-and this 1 fear is our
case today.
The United Nations needs considerable
reorganization, and Russian complaints are
legitimate in this area This is not to say
that their proposals are acceptable as sOlu-
ton, but here again we have offered no
alternative solution to the quandry.
One of the major problems, as see it, is
that we Americans have got the notion that
the U N. is little more than an extension of
our own Institutions. This notion has been
fostered by the proximity of the East River
to Washington It's location in New York has
become handicap. To begin, New York is
the least representative community of the
United States More than once the United
States has been embarrassed by the volatile
passions of various immigrant groups har-
bored there. Their behavior alone indicates
how thin the veneer of American custom and
law lays upon Them This is understandable,
nevertheless deplorable, when they gather as
bowling mobs to affect United Nations de-
liberation. They are usually stirred to such
unsophisticated behavior by some minor poll
tician seeking public notice. The point is that
this is more easily done in New York than
anywhere else.

Battin PLANNING
Introduction Of
Two Farm Bills

U. S. Representative James F.
Battin R-Montana) announced to-
day that he is preparing two le-
glslative proposals in line with the
needs of Montana agriculture.
Rep. Battin said, "These bills
Will eliminate some of the in
Equities that now exist. One of
my bills will do away with the
fifteen acre exemption and the
other will defer payment of in
come tax on contract sales until
such time as the money is actually
received"
Battin said, "The fifteen acre
exemption has been the bugaboo
OF Montana agriculture since it
was first proposed and has caused
a serious problem in regard to the
allotment of wheat acreage for
Montana. Our people are unable
to raise a multitude of crops as
can our southern friends and
must depend on wheat or small
grains for their livelihood. In
order to improve our agricultural
situation it is imperative that this
exemption be removed" the red
haired Congressman stated.
Commenting on his second pro-
poSal, Rep. Battin said, "Other
businesses have the advantage of
deferred income tax payments.
My bill would bring the farm in
come tax in line with present
practices"
Congressman Battin said he
plans to introduce the agriculture
bills by Mid-March, and that he
feels the proposals deserve the
support of THE entire Montana
delegation.

The location of schools being a
never-ending problem, the COM
mission is advised that in spite
of Powhatan's nominal growth.
school sites should be obtained
before they are actually needed.
A school plan should be incor-
rorated in the commission S plan
for the county suggests the state
agency.
Steps Suggested
Five basic steps are suggested
for planning future school needs:
determine future school enroll
ment in the school system being
planned, determine standards Of
school design and location desir-
able for the community, deter
mine condition and capacity of
the present school plants, deter
mine distribution of future school
population in the area Of study.
and determine the future needs
for new schools. for abandon
ment of existing schools. and for
alterations and expansion.
To aid the commission in de-
termining what is best to fill the
needs for the county, the di-
vision includes in its report STAN
dards for a progressive school
program for comparison. The
standards involve the distance
for children from home to school,
desirable size of school for effec-
tive instruction, and size of
school building and area of
school grounds.
A program to meet the coun-
tvs school needs has already
been initiated and a report on
recommendations from the De-
partment of Education presented

POWHATAN, Nov. / A
community facilities report to
the Powhatan County Planning
Commission gives the county a
key to solve its public office
space land school reeds.
The report, prepared by the
State Division of Industrial De
velopment and Planning, recon-
mends that the county planning
commission and the school board
hold joint meetings from time to
time to discuss current problems
and work toward development OF
a comprehensive regional school
site plan. It contains specific
starting points for fruitful dis
cussions.
To alleviate the need for adj
ditional space for public offices,
the state agency recommends
tnaL tne county CONSIDER taklIlS
available federal funds to build
new facilities for the health de-
partment.
Take Federal Aid
Federal funds are availably
under the Hill-Burton plan on a
SIS per cent federal-45 per cent
local matching basis. After the
building is completed it. must be
used for some type of health pur-
rose for 20 years and after that
period of time it becomes county
property. Construction of such a
building would provide the health
department a d equat e office
space, and clear its present
quarters for other needed uses.
