ABC's formal announcement
Of its Tuesday night realign-
ment. effective next week, came
yesterday, about a week after
the network went to work get
ting the necessary sponsor
clearances. 1t goes like this:
. Dropped: for the time be-
ing). Calvin and the Colonel, a
cartoon series seen at $3.50 pm.
. Moved Up: Leslie Nielsen's
The New Breed, an hour-long
police-crime adventure strip, to
$3.50, thereby giving it a half
hour jump on the tough Dick
Powell NBC competition.
o Introducing: Yours for a
Song, a Bert Parks series on
which contestants will attempt
to identify pop tunes for cash
prizes. Neither the idea, nor
Mr.. Parks. are new.
There's an ironic note in this
shakeup. While Calvin and the
Colonel is scheduled to return
in late January, its custer after
only a half-dozen shows must
come as a stunning disappoint-
ment to its veteran creators.
The cartoon features the voices
of Freeman Gosden and Charles
Correll,, the same voices which.
at the height of their popular
ity in the '30s. could be heard
from 80 out of a 100 radios in
their adventures as Amos n
Andy.
AS if to balance this dour
bulletin. ABC also announced
yesterday that Gene Kelly will
become a regular TV performer
next season in an hour-long
series based on the 1914 movie.
Going My Way" Kelly
will play the Catholic priest,
Father O'Malley (played by
Bing Crosby in the movie) ard
the series will revolve about his
relationship with his parishion-
ers and his friendship with a
Protestant minister. That last
note may not ring a bell, but
its inclusion is obvious. Spon-

less than $4,000 population-cit
which have been unable 10 meet the
financial burdens of adequate sewage
treatment facilities.
The new legislation also puts teeth
into the enforcement powers of the
federal government so that munich
palities which neglect their response
bilities and pass their sewage ON to
others may be brought before the
courts. ae4s
The 1861 victory of the antipollu-
tion forces in Congress who believe
the federal government must take a
strong hand should put to rest any
further ideas that water pollution can
be safely left to local care.
President Eisenhower, in vetoing
the amendments passed by Congress
in 1860, made the extraordinary claim
that water pollution is uniquely
local blight, that primary RESPONSE
bility for solving the problem lies
not with the federal government but
rather must be assumed and exercised
as it has been by state and local gov
ernment.''
This statement, of course, was in
line with the general conservation
philosophy of passing on to the states
and local communities any problems
and accompanying expenditures that
are likely to involve the stiff federal
income tax rather than regressive
state and local taxes. Nevertheless,
it is an amazing statement in the face
of the Overwhelmingly national i'm
pact of any continued breakdown in
the provision of unpolluted and album
dant water to the American people.
Outside of the air we breathe,
water is probably the one complete
ly nationwide resource that is vital
to us as nation, to our strength
and even to our security. To leave
it to local and state action is to
risk catastrophe.

Legislation currently pending be-
fore the United States Senate, would
| in the estimation of the Livingston
Anti-Merger Committee, remove an.
other hurdle in way of the proposed
merger of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington Lines.
The bill, HB 6630, which has passed
the House, the anti-merger group
contends would make it possible for
the MP to get around certain stipula-
tons by the federal government when
that route was given huge land grants
almost century ago; stipulations
which the group contends represent
obstacles to the elimination of the
merger, and which, if removed, will
make it possible for good title to such
grants to be transferred by one meth
or or another from the MP to the
proposed new railroad company.
Seemingly, HB $3.50 simply re-
vises present law to permit railroads
to convey patentable title to third
parties for grant lands along their
right-of-way, such as industrial sites,
etc.
Actually, say the rail unionists,
the scope of the measure is much
broader, and accordingly, they are
asking Montanans to write to Sem
ators Mansfield and Metcalf to vote
against Senate approval of the bill.
The unionists contend that the
Northern Pacific Railroad grant
prohibits a mortgage of the right-of-
way without Congressional approval,
and we feel that HR $3.50 could be
construed as giving the power of
conveyance and implic-
lily, the power to mortgage.
"The Northern Pacific Railway
Company" they continue, 'has sue
cessfully created the impression that
they have succeeded to Northern
Pacific Railroad Company's charter,
franchise, right-of-way and other
statutory assets, but Congress never
authorized this as required by the
act of July 2, 1864-the act that
chartered the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company.

Court DELAYS
Hearing On
Coop Issue

The proceedings in the case of the
Board of Equalization versus Judge
R. V. Bottomly, district judge in the
9Th judicial district, to determine
whether a case filed by the Montana
Council of CO. operatives, the Coop
Supply of Lake County, and Richard
Lensman, preventing the Board from
enforcing certain rulings in regard
to collection of taxes from co-opera-
tives, has been delayed for hearing
by the Supreme Court until October
9. Originally the case was set to be
heard on September 10. This also
means briefs to be filed by the Judge
of the 9Th judicial district will not
be due until October and reply
briefs of the Board of Examiners will
be due by October 6.
The State Supreme Court is being
asked to decide whether the case filed
by the cooperative interests can
rightfully be heard in the jurisdiction
of Judge Bottomly's court of the 9Th
district, or whether it must be heard
in the Lewis & Clark jurisdiction
where the board makes it's decisions
and takes its actions.
The question of the tax status of
the co-operatives is not involved in
the October 8 hearing.
1t is expected the counsel for the
Montana Council on Co-operatives
will appear in defense of the order
by Judge Bottomly.
Court records show one brief has
been filed by A. w. Scribner, Helena
attorney who has received permission
from the court to appear as friend

Rehabilitation of
Disabled Workers
To Be Intensified

Last week $4,000 was transferred
from the Montana Industrial Accident
Board reserve fund to the Montana
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation
TO finance new vocational rehabiii-
tation program for Montana's indus
trially injured, Robert Swanberg, di.
rector of the lab, has announced.
This program for Montana's indus
trially injured was established by the
1861 Legislative Assembly. The meas
ure and authorization for the trans
fer was passed by the 37th Legisla-
tive Assembly without dissenting
vote in the House or Senate.
The legislation enjoyed business
and labor support throughout Mon
tana.
Similar legislation in other states
demonstrates that rs to 100 indus
trially disabled persons can be ex-
pected to be returned to productive
employment each year under this
program, Swanberg pointed out.
The Legislative action provides the
DVR $4,000 each year in the next
biennium from the LAB reserve fund
to finance special rehabilitation
program for the industrially injured.
Under the administration of the DVR
the funds are to be used solely for
providing vocational rehabilitation
services for selected cases of indus
trially injured workmen.
Rehabilitation of the industrially
aside from restoring a
workman's dignity as a person, is of
great dollars and cents value to the
state and nation. For a rehabilitation
outlay of approximately six hundred
dollars per trainee, the average re-
habilitated worker can look forward
to earnings at least eight times as
much annually as a result of being
trained for work within the capabili-
ties of his disability.
On top of this, each retrained
worker is one less charge against
compensation or public
or both.-HLB

Health Care for Aged Aired
AT Meeting In Capitol City

Lewis and Clark Democratic
Women, attempting to bring
the issues of the day before the
people in their area, sponsored
a panel discussion on medical
care for the aged, Monday
night, the 18th of September,
before a group of more than
SO people.
The panel discussion which was
open to the public resulted in many
questions from the audience and
brought out the broad aspects of the
problem of medical care for citizens
over SIS.
Panel moderator, c. w. Huber
Carroll College professor, laid the
groundwork for the discussion by
using Flip" chart showing Stats
tics, compiled from federal records
on numbers of aged, income, and
medical costs and needs. s
Huber pointed out that in 1870
there were 3 million people over 65
in this country, and by 1875 there will
be % million; that 500 of those
over SIS presently have incomes of
$1,000 or less, 204o have incomes
of $1,000 to $4,000, and 20%o have
incomes of $4,000 or more. Medical
costs for the aged, he said, average
$177 of which an average of only
$26.55 is covered by some form of
insurance. The average social security
check is $1,000 month, Huber said,
and the average yearly income from
this source amounts to 1914.
The first panel member was John
Vance. Helena attorney, who out
lined the history of social security
and the "slow but unresistable drive"
of the American people to enact So
cial programs.
He said the question now is not
whether we should have social Sc
curity, because the dire predictions
of those who originally opposed it
have not come to pass, but rather
a question of whether we should
expand the program.

Texuco To Flood
Cut Bank Oil Field
With $12 Million

Texaco. Inc. will spend $12, 1000, 900
to flood the Cut Bank oil fields to
get more production out of the nu-
merous 3,OOO-foot wells, representa-
tives of the company's Billings office
told the Land Board Wednesday.
The school land oil leases in the
area are expected to produce 135, 1000
barrels at the present low rate of
production by 1869 for revenue of
$4,000 from the royalties flooding
of the fields will result in $8.5 million
in the same period from royalties and
additional taxes paid to the state
and locally.
Tentative approval was given for
the states land to be included in the
flooding of the unit, upon the RECEIPT
of technical advice from the Oil and
Gas Commission.
Keith Watkins of the Great Falls
office of the Corps of Engineers was
sold five more missile sites-two in
Fergus and one each in Wheatland,

Plentywood, or a feed lot, was held
up until the next meeting because of
a clerical error.-FS

Defending the medical profession
stand that medical care should be
judged from local needs, Little said
he did not think there was anyone
in Lewis & Clark county who needed
medical care who wasn't getting it.
He approved the approach to provid-
ing medical care for the aged on the
basis of proof of need.
The Kerr-MilIs bill which was
gress, giving financial aid to the
states in their medical care for the
aged INDECENT, on a matching basis,
according to need, is supported by
the American Medical Association
and the Montana Medical Associa-
ton, DIR. Little said.
Opposition to the social security
approach, the medical opposition
contends, is because it does not cover
everyone.
NURSES SUPPORT
SIS APPROACH
The Montana Nurses Association
position as presented by Mary Mum
ger, their executive secretary, is in
support of the King-Anderson bill
which will use the social security
method. Mrs. Munger said this did
not mean unsupported medical aid
based ON need for those who did not
have coverage under social security
would be abandoned. She pointed out
both programs are necessary.
Social Security, she said, is the
most equitable, and income limits in
the over 65 age group are not ade-
quate to buy adequate medical-hos-
pital care. The degrading" condi-
lions imposed by tax supported pro-
grams add nothing to the lives of
the aged citizens, she said.
Gretchen Billings, of your Peoples
Voice staff, said the question re-
volved around whether we would do
the job that needs to be done through
general taxation or through the gov
eminent holding funds over many
years as trustee against the day when
they will be most needed.
1T socialism is the fear, Mrs. Bill
lings said, the social security meth
cd is the proper one because the
tax supported programs put the
state ''up to its neck in the life of
one individual. The compulsory
versus voluntary aspects of the
arguments on this issue are mean
ingless, she said. If contributions
to social security would be "com-
pulsory'' we might ask ourselves
if there is anything less ''voIun-
tary'' than taxes.
The program was well received by
hose present and a great deal of
redit must go to the Lewis & Clark
,ounty Democratic Women for spon-
oring it. Especially the work put in
n it by Pat Syskowski, program
hartman and secretary of the or
Mrs. Virginia West, club president,
resided at the public meeting.
Future topics the group intends
