Takes Issue With PV
On John Birch Society

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
/ have just finished reading your
article pertaining to the John Birch
Society. find your position completely
untenable
First, you acknowledge the fact that
not much is known about this society.
This is, of course, a part of the opera
ton of this organization. 1t does not
seek publicity for itself.
Secondly, after admitting that not
much information can be had on John
Birch Society, in the usual form of
liberals who Intend to have their view
recognized at almost any cost, you
begin the campaign to discredit this
group by mimicking other liberal pub
locations such as TIME magazine These
there is little public informa ton avail
able on the Society," Despite this recog
nized fact, these papers proceed to
make unfounded innuendoes about it,
liberal publications and their editors,
In the absence of evidence or fact,
I must admit, are masters at this type
misleading "mimick'' deception. such as
quoting each other. Neverth eless, it is
recognized by thinking people as the
lack of judgment on the part of such
an editor.
you be an original liberal editor for
q change. Please try to get the facts
for yourself before blasting people and
their organizations, especially when
you don't know who you are blasting

READERS FORUM
Appreciates Factual
Information In VOICE
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
| am enclosing my pledge toward
support of the best little paper printed
in the Northwest, in the peoples in
tereSt.
We liberals surely appreciate the
timely and factual information we re-
ceive each week in the Peoples Voice.
1t is positively alarming to note the
large number of supporters who lined
up with the Nutterism policy from Sid
ney, in the efforts to scuttle demo
cratic principles and install a form
of banditry to loot private funds for
their budget balancing program.
1t is sorry situation when society
can muster so few dedicated people
like our own talented and willing team
of Harry and Gretchen. We want you
to be in good trim when this Nutterite
Governor goes out campaigning next
year against those who supported the
idea of maintaining government of,
by, and for the people, during this
longest, and probably the worst legis-
lative session. Sincerely yours.-HAR-
MON E. DICKEY, Glendive Montana.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Associate Justice Albert Angstman
has announced his retirement from
the State Supreme Court bench, and
Harry and / want to extend to him
our best wishes for pleasant years
ahead.
My personal feelings toward Judge
Angstman have always been warm
and comfortable. He is conserva-
tive and we disagreed on many things,
but on basic human values, he was
deeply sympathetic. In the clinches
people could depend ON him for JUS
tice and compassion.

Senator's Wife Contends VOICE Is Unfair

Editor, Peoples Voice:
Since 1 was Instrumental in your re-
ceiving a $50 donation to your paper
from our Farmers Union local, of which
L was secretary treasurer for many
years, I feel that / have the right to
comment on your editorial in the March
3rd issue. CAT Least IA Senators Should
Consider Changing Party Affiliations.
-EDITOR)
Evidently, you feel, as does Governor
Nutter, that unless the Legislators agree
with you 1909 that they are way
out"-either "Demagops" or "Republi-
Gratis.
/ think you were most unfair IN
singing out six bills out of the 207
Senate bills, and 40 House bills, not
to mention the Resolutions and Me-
MORALS, to base the voting record of
the fourteen Senators on.
In the first place, HB 4O6 was not
religious issue, but an economic one.
There are groups who use religion rs
a skirt to hide behind in order to evade
their obligations to society. The bill
was not telling the butterflies how or
who to worship, therefore was not re-
1igious issue.
HB 131 will perhaps do more good
than damage to the name of Farmers
Union. Farmers Union has been used
as political pawn in the past cam
paigns by the opposition, regardless
VI WHCthti gu ssdy 50 u nut w = nave
lost seats in both the Senate and House
over this very issue. Sure, the Farmers
Union is not supposed to be political
and neither lis the Farm Bureau, but
by the very reason of what each stands
for, politics" is involved. Some of
the men you condemned on this issue
have been strong believers in co-ops,
and specifically the Farmers Union, for
a good many years, and / doubt very
seriously that they would have voted
rs they did, without fully realizing

Foreign Investments
Blamed For Cold War
Editor, The Peoples Voice:

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
peace, Peace. Everybody is talk
ing, walking, crying, and praying fol-
Peace. l am wondering just why
no one ever has mentioned the real
reason and cause for all the trouble
and strife in the world today
While a book could be written on
the subject, yet no one ever has writ
ten even a short letter about it.
1t is too controversial a subject?
After all, the whole world turmoil
could be summed up in just a very few
words (foreign investments of capital
for profit)
We in the u. S. are taxed to the
hilt, just TO protect those investments
and therefore the cold war to contain
communism, and a few other isms
because they are making great in
roads into "Our?' profits from "Our?"
foreign investments.
Just to mention a few countries
where this trouble maker has erupted
of late, there is Cuba, the Congo, and
Laos. OF course there are many more
but space is limited
| for one would like to see little,
or more discussion on this subject in
this column. We, as members of the
world family of people need to know
a lot more on this subject, so let's
hear from all who have the ability
to think for themselves and their
brothers.-R. H. COOK, Grantsdale,
Montana
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-03-24

After many years of public service
the good judge deserves his retire
ment and the regrets we feel about
his leaving the court stem from the
overall political picture and the fact
people of Judge Angstman's stature
are not easy comedy.
While a Republican and a conserv-
ative, Judge Angstman represented
an era of Republican-conservatism
that is difficult to find in Montana
today.
Today deep feeling for human be-
ings over other considerations are
secondary and even politically fool
hardy.
Montana history will record the hui
manitarian in Judge Angstman and
at a. future day some young man may
find courage from his actions, and
bring better days upon us.
Governor Nutter vetoed Senate
Bill 200, the misunderstanding
consent suspend bill
aimed ait getting even with the own
er of a Helena printing establishment
for an off-campus fracas.
He didn't do it on the same basis
as | opposed it. | opposed it because
/ believe it didn't make any differ
ence whether it was "a good bill'' or
not in the eyes of the proponents. |
contended there was no place in the
legislative process for "reprisal" leg
islation; that at the last minute there
was no time to determine whether a
bill was ga good bilp'.
Proponents said it was ga good
bill', therefore it was all right to
skid it through on this last minute
emotional hinge.
Nutter decided it wasn't a ''good
bill', at least to the extent that a
defect would make it impossible for
officers of the state to comply with
sections of the law.

| what they were doing. This year the
Democrats had control of the Senate,
but in two years from now, the same
may not be true, and then a bill such
as was presented in the Both Legisla-
| ture would be rammed through, kill
'em dead" one. / am sure that not one
of the Senators you ma1ign, wanted a
coop tax, but they could see into the
future, and felt that for the good of
the co-ops, this was the best way out
They did not go into this with their
eyes closed. They had information
not presSurel ses ~
HIM IL was concerning private power
VS. federal power, and was nullified by
the amendment placed on the bill in
the Senate. Do you feel that if the Fed
eral Government was not even inter-
ested in building either Paradise DR.
Knowles dams, that private ent erprise
not be allowed to develop any? In other
words, if we can't have Federally built
dams, let's not have any. I can't go
along with gin~the-manger atti-
tude.
HB "a on Workmen's Compensation.
Unless you are like the !, proverbial
ostrich, you will surely know that
Workmen's Compensation was being
sadly misused by the people who would
work only long enough to qualify to
draw unemployment funds, and would
not take a job of any kind until their
gone. This was unfair to small business
men and boon to seasonal employers.
The law definitely needed some adj
justment to protect those that are sin
cere. personally have tried to hire
farm labor, and the answer got was
Why should | work, when can draw
my unemployment checks?"
HB 40 was bill to define industrial
accidents so that the fund would not be
depleted by unfair, and unjust claims.
A cold, polio, or heart condition can
not, by any right, be claimed an "acci-
dent. This was another case where,
for the protection of the laboring man,
the law needed Qualification
In the past 1 was naive enough to
think that your paper was a fair and
unbiased report of the news, but since
have personally spent 81 days in Hell
ana, and know more of the legislative
processes, feel that you are definitely
100 far left.
Unless we have more straight thinking
men in our Legislature who are able
% make a stand on the merits of bill,
Ind not vote just because the party
'r pressure groups dictate, we will be
n worse shape in Montana than we
IRE now The Republican, dominated
louise was a good example of what
happens when men are not allowed to
hink for themselves
Your attitude and opinions while you
re entitled to them, will go a long way
n defeating the Democrats who have
o run for office this next session
'erhaps you feel that Republicans are
nore desirable in Senate and House
eats than Democrat who is not left
7ing-or liberal or has the courage
o think and vote his convictions
| would suggest that in the future,
GU examine all the facts before criti-
izing and crucifying those who are
rying sincerely to work for the better
lent of Montana and its citizens.
