Criticism of Harriet Miller Unjust
Edtorial In SANDERS COUNTY LEDGER. Thompson F.

n SANDERS COUNTY LEDGER Thompson Falls
The criticism leveled at Harriet Miller Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. by Clyde Hawks Speaker of the House, and
Anderson House Majority Floor Leader is unjust and
unwarranted.
Anderson criticized Miss Miller for her philosophy of school
financing and the foundation program
During the last session of the legislature Miss Miller
ported the public school financing House Bills 373
amended by the Senate instead of the original
House passed measures.
Under the two bills passed by the House, and favored by
Anderson every school district in Sanders county
school funds during the coming
than they did in the past two Now the
amended by the Senate and finally approved by both
school districts we'll all districts of the
will share in the increased public school appropriations
by the legislature The House bills originally passed
school districts such Mssoua Billings and
Great Falls The opposition of Anderson whose home in Bill
ng understandable But had the bills passed he would
have liked Sanders residents and taxpayers in other
population school districts the state would have
paying local taxes just to provide the amount
of funds as the schools had the last two years.
Miss Miller chose to stand for financing that
aided all districts instead OF favong few OF the large ais
trcts at the expense of the smaller ,alsasaN

apparently took the attitude, 'Tt
must be some other guy he is writing
about. In any case very little was
done to correct the impression of
chaos at high level in government.
Then came the blunder of the Cuban
tractor deal". Candor should have
compelled the White House staff to
admit it was a blunder.
Instead they foundered and came
up with feeble explanations that made
all those associated with the project
look silly. This included the President.
Nor Arthur Krock, also writing
in The Times, has called for the resig-
nations of the Presidents top four
White House advisers, as well as the
Joint Chiefs when their terms are
up and the top men in CHA. Unlike
Reston, Krock did name names.
To many here Krock's proposal
seems a bit severe. Mistakes are
bound to happen. There will be ups
and downs.
But it would be compromising all
previous mistakes if those on the
White House staff regarded as the
intellectual elite did not begin some
self-analysis in depth.
The starting point could be a COM
ment Mr.. Kennedy made on June 16,
1860:
"Our task is to devise a national
strategy-based not on the 18th hour
responses to Soviet-created crisis
but comprehensive set of carefully
prepared, long-term policies designed
to increase the strength of the nom
Communist world /. :"
The trouble right now seems to be
that the professors are trying to be
politicians. They are improvising or,
as the so-called hard-headed politi-
clans put it, they are playing it by
ear"
That may be sufficient planning
for political campaign. 1t is made
quate for the Cold War.

NV "Two-Bits Worth"

Castro's offer to trade 1,200 prisoners
of war for five hundred tractors seems
to have posed rather perplexing
problem for our American conscience.
Richard Nixon is quite vociferous
in opposing the tradea possibly with
the New England Yankee notion" that
Castro would be getting the best of
the bargain, since Cubans could ac-
complish more with one tractor than
they could with two or two and % half
prisoners in the farming area.
All levity aside however, Americans
sentiment seem to be split two or three
ways. Humanitarian principles indi-
cate that the exchange should be made
but stubborn face saving Millions for
defense but not one cent for tribute"
politicians oppose that with Mortified
mitigation.
No information is available as to the
nationality of these prisoners, whether
they are all Cubans or if there is a
percentage of American soldiers of
fortune so as far as ranSoming our
own citizens is concerned there is no
issue. The problem then resolves itself
into the choice of humanitarianism or
the cold blooded ito hell with you

Carroll Commencement
Speaker Stirs 'Mucker joe
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Graduates hear Corettei 1t only rated
few lines in our local newspaper but
we figured it was pretty darn import
ant.
Nav and I sort of give up hope of
ever amounting to much years ago;
so we thought if we just saved along,
a buck here and there, we could send
our kid to college. Remembering this,
we sort of polished our manners
bought few books and mostly dreamed
about how proud we'd be when our boy
was learned to be a somebody. Guess
by somebody we meant that he would
know right from wrong; that he would
mt believe something just because
some big shot said it but that he'd
kinda weigh it and be able to say ii
it was ON the square. So, come time he
gets out of high school, we shop around
and decide that Carroll would be a
good place. 1t being all right with him,
we tog him out in new pair of Stacks
and ship him to Helena
Four years in the mine is a lot of
shifts for me and lot of dirty clothes
and sewing for Nav but we were
happy Our kid was going to college.
Now I've been union man for a lot
of years and Nav and I think that in
a lot of ways the Labor Party in Eng
land and the Socialists in Norway and
Sweden have good points and on top
of that, right or wrong, being Ameri-
cans we don't plan on asking anybody
what we can think, we just hope we're
right Coming home from school the
boy tells us that being union man
is OK. That if helping others as much
as they want to be helped is socialism
that OK. too, whether its done by one
man or the whole bunch of us.
You can just bet we're glad. We were
wondering if we were odd-balls or
something. Now the boy'll realize the
old folks know a thing or two and,
he won't be ashamed of us. On top of
that, We're glad that he's going to
Carroll where they teach him that if
you follow the Man of Ga1ilee you
won't go far wrong. Everything is all
right till graduation comes along then
somebody rings in this Corette to give
the kids a send-off.
He's % good looking guy and a
smooth tallSer; even dumb cluck
like me could understand all he was
saying but, he being a man who has
sold his right to talk from the heart
he has to get his plug in even on Sun
day. It's slick the way he does it, too.
He tells the kids that they can choose
to be anything they want, even racket
GERS or labor union officials. That they
will have to choose our future govern
he nails socialism tight to
communism. -Aw, you know all the
old baloney. He knows it. The Profs
at the school know it. Corette just done
a good job and he'll get paid for it,
But here's what's worrying Nav and
me: how much does the school get
paid for the captive audience and,

The Readers Forum

a demand for tribute" for government
funds are not demanded nor is 1t likely
that any will be used. Committees of
private citizens thus far have been
doing all the negotiating and who is
to saw that American private citizens
shall not be permitted to contribute
of their funds to any cause they deem
humanitarian.
AS to the face saving Millions for
defense" argument, 1T seems that our
CHA and other government agencies
pulled off a Super Colossal Boo-Boo
when they violated Article Is of the
Charter of the GAS Organization of
American States) and Sec. $50 of the
U. S. Neutrality Act, so instead of face
saving, some face lifting would be in
order. ,saf
When a man or group of men under
take a revolution against a de-facto
government, they clearly understand
that they chance the fortunes of war;.
So what? Death or possibly imprison-
ment.
Another question arises. What to do
with these prisoners if the exchange
is made Are they all Cubans? III so,
what do we do with them? Provide a
retreat where they can plot and pre-
pare another revolution?
Were it not for a matter of possibly
life and death the situation in which
Fidel has placed our government de-
partments would be amusing. On one
hand national pride urges us not to
yield, on the other, humanitarian in
stincts urge the exchange, and the
third question arises, what to do if and
when the exchange is made. The pros
and cons can be argued unfortunately
and our "WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO
DO?" situation will no doubt provide
an interesting and amusing spectacle
to the rest of the world.

THE PROFESSORS AND
THE PRESIDENT

John F. Kennedy is learning the
hard way that there are bitter ironies
connected with being President.
When he took office he was de-
scribed as the "most literate man.
ever to occupy the White House. Now
his critics say that Kennedy is ''too
literate". BY this they mean there
is lack of practical experience on
the White House staff as well as
too much concern with style and not
enough with content.
When Kennedy was in Congress
he wrote a book, "While England
Slept. Now his critics say that he
is ''like two Englishmen"
He writes like Winston Churchill
and acts like Neville Chamberlain, a
prominent columnist wrote recently.
All these criticisms, hard and Bit
ing, are having a damaging effect on
the nation. But they should surprise
no one.
Some weeks ago James Reston,
writing in The New York Times,
sounded a. note of warning. After
the Cuban debacle he said that there
was danger of new wave of "anti-
sweeping the coun-
try.
Putting the blame for that affair
on the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the
Central Intelligence Agency seemed
hardly adequate as an explanation
of what happened. Many observers
began to wonder, "Where were the
Professors? What kind of advice were
they giving?"
In short. what were they doing?
MUST BE SOMEONE ELSE
Reston was kind in his criticism.
He named no names. Perhaps, that
was mistake because the indica-
tons are that his warning went un-
needed.

to find some one to draft a bill for
the State to buy out this setup. The
utilities are always bleeding the peo-
pie for something, gas or electricity or
telephones. So why not buy them out
so we can get rid of them. We have
people who can figure just as good or
better than Corette. See if you can
