OUR RELIGIONS

"The outburst of the Governor and
the Republican controlled House
points up two facts" according te
Sen. MCGOWAN (D-Chouteau).
First, their state fiscal program
depended upon the unequivocal pro-
posal to breach trust. Who could
defend as responsible business judg-
ment a plan to divert trust funds to
other uses?
Second, their reaction to defeat
reveals the attitude of spoiled chill
dren. There are three branches of
government here each in their own
right to determine what they believe
to be right. They seem to assume
that anyone who disagrees with them
is acting in bad faith, motivated by
petty politics.
Such experienced senators as Dave
Manning, George Wilson, Ron Nc
Donnell and Paul Rice are accused
of being engaged in mass political
hysteria, although the only hysteria
we have witnessed so far has been
from those who are out to rout spec
ial funds.
The Governor asked the voters
to bear in mind the names of those
who killed his Hail Bill. The voters
should also bear in mind that DUR
ing his campaign for Governor,
this courageous man did not men,
ton his proposal to confiscate hail
funds.
The voters should also remember
that two years ago such conservative
stalwarts as Jerome Anderson, 1t.
Gov. Babcock, Orvin Flare and SEN
ator Hibbs voted to increase the
Hail Fund and in 1857 Governor
Nutter, then a senator, voted to re-
fund excess hail funds to the farm
ers. 1t is evident that if there were
not money in the hail fund, neither
the Governor nor the House would
have objected to the hail program.

The need arises for those devoted to
the public veal to come forth and
protest in behalf of those not pro-

With the above as background, the
council appeals to the Montana Con-

fer $2.1 million to the general fund
to be used in retirement of the states
$6.6 million deficit. To further the
interests of a limited number of sub
scribers, 81 senators jeopardized the
financial structure of the state by
refusing to transfer funds which be-
long, not to the subscribers, but to
people of Montana.
''Had this bill and the companion
legislation to transfer the reserve
fund passed, we could have had four
years without any increase in taxes.
The business climate of Montana
would have been much brighter. The
people of this state should know that
these 81 Senate members, in effect,
voted an imposition of taxes which
may be necessary two years hence.
"The administrations policy of
bringing new industries to the state
and of encouraging Montana indus
tries to expand, thus providing new
jobs, was based upon no tax increases.
This program so completely endorsed
by the people of Montana, has re-
ceived a severe setback.
Every citizen of Montana
should acquaint himself with the
name of every one of these men
who have disregarded the welfare
of the state in the interests of petty
politics."

Reps. Gustafson, Bashor and Schye,
the councils legislative committee

urged ''the senators to consider the

On Hutterite Issue :.

Prodded by Rep. Francis
Bardanouve (D-Blaine), the
Montana Council of Churches
this week evidenced interest in
the House-approved anti-Hut-
terite proposal (HB406). HB
406 proposes the setting up of a
Communal Property Board
which would have the power
to restrict butterflies Colony
holding to 6,400 acres.
Last weekend, Bardanouve pub
licly criticized the church council
for not defending the rights of a
religious minority group, while at
the same time successfully lobbying
in opposition to passage of bill to
permit distiilery representatives to
promote liquor sales in the state.
Admitting it was perfectly prop
err for MCC to oppose the liquor in
terests, Bardanouve said ''what dis
turbs me and shocks me is that the
day before, this same lobby never
buttonholed a legislator nor wrote
a letter in opposition to legislation
which is aimed at the Hutterite

Great Falls, council social education
and action chairman, along with Rev.
Walter B. Spaulding, Great Falls,
secretary, issued state
ment in which they said no action
had been taken because of the coun-
ellis limited knowledge of the Hut
5erites and ignorance of the bill re-
ferred to by Bardanouve.
In further justification, they said

BUSINESS CLIMATE" WOULD
BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

Lorin Joslin, Ringing, legislative
representative of the Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way, spoke brief
ly on the effect merger (and service
reduction by the Milwaukee, would
have on the business climate. He
contended that all Montanans will
be adversely affected by approval
of the current applications before the
ICC. "It isn't only the jobs we lose,"
he said, "but, it's what (these rail-
road proposals) will do to your
neighbors, to the tax base, to bust
ness in many Montana communities.
Concensus was that if the merger
is approved, the Milwaukee will be
gradually squeezed OUT of the
long-haul, profitable freight bust
ness, and eventually be lost to Mon
tana.
AS for rail management claims
that the Laurel Gateway will have
large increase in shipping to the
south once the merger is effected,
the rail workers wondered ''why
don't they have the Laurel Gateway
business now, if they can get it
later. Laurel, they said, is only
operating at about one half of capac-
ity. Another report was that during
December lis freight cars were the
daily average moving through Laur-
ell, and that if the number of rail
jobs are to be maintained at some
where near present levels after merg-
err, it would be necessary for. that
to be almost quadrupled.
OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST
Also reported at the meeting was
that for last year, Great Northern
paid $1O4,S25.22 and Northern Pa
cific $77,526.06 in taxes to Lewis
& Clark county.
A Missoula anti-merger group rep
Francis Schwartz, stated
hat more than $50 Missoula business
men had signed anti-merger petitions.
lie also said that he and another fell
ow, in less than one days time, Sc
cured 80 signatures on anti-merger

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
OPPOSES MERGER
Word received from Sens. Mike
Mansfield and Lee Metcaf and Cong.
Arnold Olsen, is that the three of
them are together in opposing the
merger. Joe Woods, rail telegrapher
and second vice president of the
anti-merger group, reported on a
telephone conversation he had had
with Sen. Mansfield earlier in the
day.
Woods said that Mike had advised
him that interested people should
write letters on their opinions of the
merger to the ICC, the President,
and to the congressional delegation.
Earlier, Arnold had written that he
was vigorously opposed" to the
merger because of it's effects on
jobs, the tax base, and the elimina-
ton of competition by the creation
of substantially monopoly in the
long-hall transportation field.

For Denunciation Of Israel
Arabs Ldshed AT II. N.
UNITED NATIONS. N

UNITED NATIONS, N.
Y, (JTA) - The annual
Arab denunciation of Israel
at the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly evoked from
Israel this week the sharp
est condemnation of an
Arab leader probably ever
heard at the United Ma
tiOnS.
The Arab spokesman was
Ahmed Shukairy of Saudi
Arabia, a frequent spokes-
man for the Arab League
who mounted the roStrum
to reject Israel proposals
for peace talks, a pilot dis
armament plan for the
Middle East and an Arab
Israeli non-aggression pact.
The proposals and the re-
ply to Shukairy were given
by Mrs. Coda Meir, Isra-
els Foreign Minister.
Shukairy's speech, which
an Israeli spokesman i'm
mediately denounced as
"the most vicious and OBJ
scene" ever delivered at the
United Nations, described
Israel as a gang" which
used the slogan" of peace
with Nazi determination"
Shukairy said Israel Ma
zism" was the cause of the
persecution" of Israeli
Arabs" He said "Israel and
Eichmann should stand in
one dock for one trial for
one crime and one verdict"
He also offered some pro-
posals, including setting up
of a UN committee to in
vestigate the condition of
Israeli Arabs, a UN COM
mission to implement "alP'
UN resolutions on PaleS->
tine, a request to the In
ternational Atomic Energy
Agency to check "the po-
tentialS" of the Israeli
atomic reactor" and the de-
militariZation of Jerusa-
lem.
