Unemployment
Below Year AGO

For the first time in 30 weeks
unemployment claim totals this
year we're below the comparable
week a year ago.
UCC Chairman Edgar H. Reed
er reported today that 1875 idle
workers claimed benefits under
Montana's regular UCC program
after a decline of SO from the
prior week. Last year 3,784 I'M
employed workers filed claims
for benefits for the comparable
week.
Jobless women comprised 40
per cent of the claim total.
Claim filing ended for 1O2 per-
sons who exhausted their benefits
when they certified to their final
payment. Included were % at
Butte, 10 at Billings, and 13 at
Great Falls. Nearly half of the
current claims are concentrated
in these three cities, Reeder said.
Claims under the federally
sponsored unemployment claims
extension program rose AZ last
week to a total of 1862. The
tally of these claims is not in
Guided in the regular UCC count,
Reeder said.
Statewide labor market patterns
last week appeared to be more
passive than active. Retail trade
and service establishments in some
areas were starting to trim pay
rolls to normal forces as tourist
traffic lessened. There were a
few construction layoffs at Boze-
man, Helena and Kalispell. Ma
lterial shortages wer holding UP
construction projects at Glasgow.
The construction scene wa bright
er at Libby, LewiStown and Miles
City where some new hiring on
building and road projects was re-
ported.
Activity in numbering and log-
gng was relatively quiet with the
closure of a few small mills in the
Kalispell area and curtailed OPP
erations because of fire hazards ir
other areas.
Farm labor demand was GU
: considerably with completion O
the grain and fruit harveSts.
A few workers were recalled
to Smelter employment at Ana
conda. The picture was differen
at Great Falls where IL smelter
men yer laid off for severa
weeks. Thirty Roundup Goa
mners wer furloughed for sew
eral weeks while new equipmen
was being installed at mimi
operations. Oil field activity wa
UP in the Wolf Point area wher
two new drilling rigs started op
Grating.
In most major cities there wer
more jobs than workers in clerics
and professional occupations.
Claim declines last week cam
in this order: Libby, down 81
go; Glasgow, down IA to 164
Havre, down IL to LOT; Polsol
down IL to SO; Cut Bank, dow

Defense to Expand
ProductionofM-l4R

The White House said today
that the Defense Department
is moving to expand the base
of production for the MIA
rifle.
The Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee recently criti-
cized what it called delays and
deficiencies" in the production
of the modern rifle, which i,
said was not issued to Ameri-
can forces in Berlin until last
month even though it was con-
ceived 16 years ago.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger was asked to-
day about another complaint
by Senator Margaret Chase
Smith. Republican of Maine,
that the Defense Department
was trying to steer a contract
for production of the rifle to a
West Virginia plant she said
was practically non-existent
Called "UninfOrmed"
Mr.. Salinger, describing Sen
ator Smith as "uninformed on
this subject" said the contract
she referred to had been
awarded to the Thompson
Ramo-W Woodbridge Co. in Cleve-
land. Ohio.
The rifle has been produced
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-11

by two private firms in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, as
we'll as the Army's Springfield
Arsenal, the biggest producer.
Mr.. Salinger said that the
Defense Department felt it was
necessary to expand the base
of production by getting more
companies into the manufac-
ture of the rifle.
Inquiry Asked
He indicated that award Of
a contract to the West Virginia
Ordnance Co. had been con-
sidered, pointing out that the
administration is interested in
placing-defense contracts where
possible in depressed areas. But
he said this contract could not
be handled expeditiously in
West Virginia, so it went to the
Cleveland firm.
Mr.. Salinger also said four
times as many MIA rifles have
been produced since last Janu-
airy 80 than were produced dur
ing the previous three years.
West Virginia'S Senators
meanwhile asked the Senate
committee to inquire into why
the Army rejected the low bid
of the West Virginia firm.

Blow Is Aimed
AT Rugged Bids
By the Associated Press

A plan to discourage collu-
sive bidding on Government
contracts was unveiled today
by the Justice Department.
Attorney General Robert F
Kennedy said the plan will
hinge on the reporting of iden-
tical bids received by Federal
agencies and any OF 1000 par
ticipating local and State gov
ernmentS.
He called the program "an
important weapon against COL
lusive bidding"
Authorized by an April "a
presidential order, the new sys-
tenn will become effective No
vember /.
Local and State governments
will report to the Justice De-
partment identical bids or
items costing more than 81, 900
Federal agencies will report
identical bids on items costing
more than $4,000.
Will Publish Reports
After the reports are recorded
and catalogued by computel
the Justice Department viii
publish consolidated reports.
The Attorney General sale
the publication should have {
deterrent effect on companie!
trying to rig prices on Govern.
ment contracts.
But the effects need mo-
stop there" he said. These re.

ports will give US broader
sources of information on
which to base antitrust investi-
cations. If investigation should
indicate that an identical bid
is a rugged bid, we will prose-
cute"
Possible Prosecution
In cases involving possible
rugged bidding, but not in in
terstate commerce, the Justice
Department will turn its find
ings over to the State involved
for possible prosecution there.
The 1000 non-Federal par
Elephants in the program range
from States to local school
districts.
Mr.. Kennedy said these were
selected as representative in
population, purchasing needs
and geographical location. An
additional 100000 government
tai units will be brought into
the program through periodic
special surveys, he said:
Some governmental units
already have volunteered iden-
tical bid information TO u.s." he
said. Many have told us they
already are feeling the benefits
of Federal concern over iden-
tical bids - in considerably
more competitive biddings."

fleeing, the islanders messaged:
Lava is flowing and the whole
eastern end Of the island is
cracking. Great Jumps of rock
and earth have been forced up
about 80 feet"
The 7,640-foot-high volcano,
which occupies most of the is
land, was reported erupting
heavily last night, perilously
close to the lone settlement Of
Edinburgh.
After spending the first ter
rible nights crouching in potato
patches 2 miles from the vii
lage, the islanders gathered a
few personal treasures into
their handmade longboats and
fled through the surf to the
larger fishing boats offshore.
Capt. M. T. Scott, skipper Of
one Of the rescue ships, radioed
that the islanders acted with
admirable calm throughout
their ordeal. He said those who
remain on the smaller island
will need water, since Night
ingale, unlike Tristan, has nc
springs.
Tristan Islanders generally
sail their handmade longboatS
to Nightingale about four times
a year to catch petrels, birds
whose fat is used in, cooking
and to collect penguin eggs ano
fertilizer.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
McMurrin Fovors 2 &:
Federal School Aid
By the Associated Press

DR.. Sterling M. McNurrin.
q quiet, affable philosopher
who believes in firm Federal
direction to keep the Nations
schools from drifting off course,
is the new United States Com
missioner Of Education.
The 47-year-old academic
vice president at the Univer-
Sity Of Utah was appointed yes
terday by President Kennedy.
He succeeds Lawrence G..
Derthick in the $20,000-a-year
job.
On the controversial subject
Of Federal aid to education,
Mr.. McMurrin says:
II believe that certain types
Of Federal aid are both desir-
able and necessary for educa-
ton we already have vari-
Gus kinds Of Federal aid, and
higher education especially
would be seriously crippled If
such aid were withdrawn.
Aid Bill Awaited
II see no reason why Federal
aid to education must mean
some kind of Federal dictation
to local institutions but
without a strong centralized
Government agency taking a
firm hand in the educational
direction Of the Nation, we are
likely to drift in such a way
that our educational institu-
tions will not satisfy the de-
mands of the Nation."t
One of the key proposals in
the Kennedy legislative pro-
gram is a bill providing Fed
eral aid to education. Mr..
McMurrin is almost certain to
play a major part in drafting
this measure.
In addition to his admin
iStrative duties, Mr.. McMurrin
has served as professor of
philosophy at the University
! Of Utah since 1913. Until last
year. he served six years as
dean Of the College of Letters
and Science.
Held FellOwships
Mr.. McMurrin adds another

nedy administration. He won

tions.
The Judge yesterday ordered

regulations.
The trial, one Of three res
taurant sanitation cases heard
