Senator John M Zwach. con-
servative Majority leader was of
great assistance, supporters say,
in securing sponsors for the bill.
In the Senate an unidentified
senator argued the same point
made by Newman, by asserting: In
thinking over this bill, have con-
sidered that if were a Negro l

to help secure my basic rights. I
am therefore for this Fair Housing
measure and so cast my vote"
Twin City Council of Clubs Helped
Matthew Little, president Of the
Twin City Council Of Clubs, a
member of the strategy committee
praised the work of his group in
soliciting funds door to door for
support of the Fair Housing bill
drive.
The Council also helped get
crowds of supporters to each of
the committee hearings. IAN of
this, Mr.. Little said indicates the
concern and awareness of the coun-

which must be resolved before all
Americans can really be a free

Representative Harold ]. Ander-

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Faithful Pilgrimites braved ad-
verse climatic conditions to hear
DIR. Massey deliver another soul
searching message. DR.. Massey
chose as his subject when Death
Strikes Home" based on Psalm
90:5-6. In his Introductory re-
marks, the minister told the wor-
shippers that when we recognize
we are all finite, it is then that we
start growing up.
We should try to understand the
psychology Of grief. God expects
us to sorrow. Instead Of trying to
cover up, we should give vent to
our sorrows. The minister 'admon-
ished the audience to refrain from
feelings of guilt over supposed
failures to a deceased loved one.
Never offer excuses for what is
inevitable.
The thought of death reminds
us Of the ultimate mystery of ev-
cry person we meet in life. Death
has no regard for your station in
life. 1t is the beginning of bigger
journey, the sense Of infinite des-
tiny.
"The soul of man is likened to
the life of a water lily" stated the
speaker, From the dust of the
earth, a fragile stem grows. Un-
til it comes into the sun light of
God and then it opens up into a
magnificent blossom of God like
beauty"
Among the visiting guests were:
Mrs. T. Lloyd Hickman and Mr..
and Mrs. James Thomas.
Uniting with the church was
Master Bernard Brown.
You are welcome and urged to

lifetime fighting for strict enforce

against international chemical trusts,
died at his home here January IL.
He was 80.
His book, TREASON'S PEACE,

Thiessen Memorial
Asks US Build
High Voltage
Power Lines


| Congressional appropriation OF
money to build inter-connecting high
voltage transmission lines between
eastern Montana and the Bonneville
system is asked under Senate Me-
mortal 7 by Thiessen and eight other
Senate Democrats.
The other sponsors besides the
Richland Democrat are: Durkee, Hill;
Hafferman, Lincoln; Newman, Deer
Lodge; Cook, Powder River; Maho-
ney, Sanders; Stein, Park; Croft,
Ravalli, and Siderius, Flathead.
Such an interconnection between
the Columbia and Missouri basins,
according to Thiessen is Gin the
prime interest of the development
of Montana both domestically and
industrially. 1t would make avail
able huge blocks of low-cost power
where in industry could be devel-
oped to utilize our huge mineral
deposits such as the iron ore de-
posts between Stanford and Big
Timber"
The interconnection would:
a. Strengthen both systems by pro-
viding mutual reserve capacity.
b. Improve the efficiency and per-
nit improved use of the resources of
each system as a result of the diver
sity of time zones and of power loads
and resources between the two sys-
TENS.
c. Provide a market for surplus
BPA power and supplementary pow
er supply for the bureau system,
thereby providing substantial eco
nomic benefits to both systems.
d. Provide indignation and co-ordi-
nation benefits to both systems.
e. Strengthen the economies and
promote the economic growth and
industrial development of both areas
involved, and
f. Serve the national defense by
the power supply of
both areas.
G. Make possible a much needed
between the existing
federal transmission systems and the
federal power projects at Canyon

Memorial Seeks To
Block Paradise
Knowles Project

Montana Power Co., through its
friends, stooges and employees in the
legislative halls, is determined to keer
and strengthen it's monopoly of the
kilowatt in the Treasure State.
First there was MPCo's self-inter-
est memorial, HIM 10, which included
among it's sponsors an administrative
employee of the company, Bush of Mis-
soula. Purpose of that memorial which
the House approved "a to %, Tues
day. is to influence the Congress to
turn over the power production end
of Yellowtail Dam to the private
monopoly after the public foots the
bill for construction of the dam. (See
story elsewhere in this issue.)
Now before the House for consid-
GRAFTON is Hum another power
company memorial. This one requests
the Congress to give MPCo the green
light on constructing couple of low
head dams across the Flathead above
the Paradise-Knowles sites. The two
dams together would produce less

every kilowatt would be high-cost,
thereby shutting out the one major

climate of depressed western Mon
tana, via attracting major basic in
dustry such as aluminium and phos-
plate. The proposed low-head Buffalo
Rapids dams are so located that, if
given Federal Power Commission ap-
prevail, neither Paradise or Knowles
could be developed.
While it is conceded there is no
more chance of stopping the steam
rolling of Hum IL in the House than
there was of killing Hum 10, both
should be put in the deep
freeze once they reach the Senate.
Sponsors of Hum 10 are: Hawks,

Sponsors of Hum IL are: Murray,

GREAT FALLS-This city will ul
timately lose all railroad service
should the Great Northern-Northerr
Pacific merger be approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, ar
international union vice president
predicted at the recent Farmer-Labol
Institute banquet here.
The union official was Mr.. M. w
Hampton, Chicago, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen.
This loss of service "of course,
won't occur overnight" Hampton
said. "But 25 per, cent of more than
1000 jobs in the Butte Division of
the Great Northern would be af-
fected Immediately, and going by
records of past mergers, eventually
everyone else would be out of jobs"
Speaking before about three hun
dred attending the banquet at Mon
tana Farmers Union headquarters
here, the union official labelled the
proposed merger "a classic example
of monopolistic empire building"
He said the merger of the GIN, MP,
Burlington and Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroads is Numerically
opposed to the public interest"
Hampton charged that the COM
bined roads would have free tick
eft to serve only areas of the Pacific
and Northwest where high profit,
bulk commodities predominant.
'Tnstead of competition-inspired
expansion, the area would be afflicted
with retrenchment of rail transporta

Hum 10 asks Congress to allow

to develop the hydro potential at the
Yellowtail Dam and reap the profit
from this federal project. The vote
on HUM 10 followed on the heels of
Hum z asking for the construction
of Libby Dam, in what Truman Brad
ford (D-Cascade) tagged as the "let-
ter writingest legislature in the his
tory of Montana. Memorials are
praised or belittled depending on
whether you are for or against them.
Speaker Clyde Hawks (R-Big
Horn), sponsor of the memorial,
praised the virtues of the 'stax pay

some support from the Democratic
side of the aisle. Two Democrats had
their names on the bill as sponsors,
William Bush (D-Missoula) and C. G..

The memorial supporting construc-
