Wet Nam Peril Hiqh
Year After Coup Failed

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
Nov. IL (AP).-South Wet
Nam passed the first ami
versary Of an attempted coup
today in greater peril than
when disgruntled paratroops
tried to seize the presidential
palace.
The tide of the guerrilla war
has turned against the pro-
Western government Of Presi-
dent Ngo Dinh Diem. and the
United States has more deeply
committed itself and its pres
tige in Southeast Asia to put
ting down the Communist in
surgents.
The extent Of United States
involvement is still to be re-
vealed by Washington. No
American ground troops are
expected in large numbers
now.
But a big United States Air
Force supply and training op-
GRAFTON has opened only 20
miles from here to train South
Vietnamese pilots and ground
crews in propelle r-driYen
fighter -bombers and helicopt-
ers. B-26 medium bombers, it
is reported, will come later. The
operation raises the possibility
that American pilots will fly
in raids against Red guerrillas.
More U. S. Aid Needed
Mr.. Diem has told visitors
that much more American aid
is needed quickly to save this
nation of IA million from the
rebel forces directed from Com
munist North Wet Nam. His
government has hinted it
would welcome United States

Foundation Program
Must Be Updated

| The biggest problem facing
school financing in Montana is
chat the foundation program
Ilaw has not been kept up to
date, and initiation and rapidly
growing enrollments have far
outstripped State aid and basic
school budgeting authority -
State Supt. of Public instruction
Harriet Miller said in Missoula
last Saturday.
| Miss Miller addressed a luncheon
meeting of the American Association
of University Women, on Montana
foundation program method of school
financing, and gave the AAUW mem
bers a do-it-yourself demonstration
of how school budgets are figured
under the Foundation Program Act.
This program, she said, is zone of
the simplest school financing plans III
all the SO states.
Taking particular note of the great
increase in enrollments in Missoula
schools, she stated that in the Garden
City the problem is intensified be-
cause the growth rate of the school
age population (here) is considerably
higher than the statewide average.
"For example, she said, "there
are nine per cent more pupils now
in the Missoula County High School
than the number allowed as the
budget base under the foundation
program law.
''This means,' she continued. sthat
for every 100 pupils provided for in
the foundation program, there are
nine more not provided for"

a QUESTION OF VALUES

AS for the contention that we can't
afford to provide adequate education-
al opportunities, he said that for a
country living in luxury" it's a
question of "what do the American
people want? We want stability. We
can have it if we but do what we
have to do to achieve it,
AS for the oft-repeated claim that
education is 'locaP' problem, he
said there is no place in the Consti-
tuition where it says it is the respon-
sibility of the states -
Taking issue with businessmen who
thinks society owes them a living. he
said 1--WE have to cut across the
phoney issues and get at the real
issues. We have to break this fallacy
that government is competing with
business" The important thing is
that government and business ''must
work hand in hand" to meet the needs
of society, eff we are going to have
this glorious life, if we are going
to make it so"
He was at odds with the conten-
tion that we must have business
like government. He said "the
goal of government is entirely diff
ferent from that Of business. If we
were to run government like we
do business we would collect all
the taxes we could get and give as
few services as we could get away
with."-HLB

RETRENCHMENT WON'T
ATTRACT PEOPLE

Former Cascade Rep. Gilfeather
branding the "hetter business eli
mate" resolutions of both 1859 anc
1861 as hoaxes, said that eff we are
going to continue to retrench we are
not going to attract people, and peo-
pie are even going to move out of
the state :"
Cilfeather, an authority on taxa
ton, said Montana's "tax system is
the most equitable in the country,
but you have to keep it up to date"
Taxes are not a major cause of
business leaving a state or failing
to come in. This, he said, has been
documented time and again.
1t is Gilfeather's opinion that, be-
cause of the severe and irresponsible
cutbacks by the 1861 session, there
will have to be tax increases in the
near future ito get the state on the
move again. From another angle,
he questioned whether 1--WE can af-
ford to let the education of our chill
dren slide backwards" even though
some may consider taxes high.
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES
Leo Graybill spoke of enactment of
health care for the aged under Social
Security and federal aid to education
as the most pressing domestic issues
facing the nation.

for the nation winning the fight to
control pollution and pointed out that

the rate of about 2,70O a year. This
means we are exporting OF the tune
of about SIP million a year in pur-
chasing power.
To knock down the walls around
our state and join the rest of the
nation, he insists "we need to think
in terms of economic development,
if we really want it. The persons
most vitality concerned" he said,
are "you and me-"

COP DEEDS, WORDS,
DID NOT MATCH

Rep. Harper, in a brief review OF
the 1861 session, emphasized the in
consistencies in what Republicans
said and did, citing as an example the
Governors requests for agency con-
solidation and how measure propos-
ing consolidating agricultural agen-
cies Glib 81 introduced 40 minutes
after his message, wasn't even given
considerations in the GOP-controlled
House, because sit wasn't Republican
introduced
Pointing how completely big
business oriented the House con-
troll was, Harper recalled the plush
courtesy accorded railroad COM
pany lobbyists as compared to just
putting up with rail unionists, when
the proposed anti-rail merger me-
mortal was under consideration.
Still another example of how little
the 'better business climate" House
cared for small Montana business, he
said, was the quick death accorded
the bill Glib 1917 to end phantom
freight charges. This act, he termed
zone of the most shocking things"
that happened during the session.
We must continue to pay such charges
on "our products which never leave
the state We are being penalized
for living in state" +Lat is rich in
natural resources.
He also commented briefly on how
veteran Democratic legislators were
given less committee work than fresh
men, and that they received only a
few committee post they sought. |
This, he said, was in strange contrast
to committee assignments in previous
legislatures.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-12-08

| Superintendent said "197 are not
included in the present foundation
program because the law requires
the school to set its basic budget
on last years enrolment.
across the state, school financing
problems are becoming intensified by
increasing enrollments. More pupils
must be educated and the financing
must be provided. The present Foun-
dation Program is not adequate to
meet the problems, and improvements
are seriously needed" Miss Miller
concluded.
HOUSE KILLED UP-DATING
MEASURE
Efforts to accomplish some of
the up-dating of the Foundation Act
came to naught in the Republican
controlled 1861 House, after the bill
(SB 110) had overwhelmingly passed
the Senate with bipartisan support,
44-11. The House voted down the
much needed improvements okehed
by the Senate, 57-37. The roll calls
of the two houses follow. Democrats
are in boldface type, Republicans,

Swede's Guilt in

The June, 1860, conviction OF

for the theft Of $4,000 in En-

today by the United States
Court Of Appeals.
Per AXE Skantze, SO, was
convicted Of 18 charges-false
pretenses and grand larceny
in District Court here. The
appellate court agreed that the
trial record overwhelmingly
establishes his guilt"
The three-judge panel re-
called that Skantze took the
money between 1856 and 1855
in his status as cashier Of the
Embassy, making false entries
in cash journals in an effort to
cloak the transactions.
In his appeal Skantze con-
tended the offenses of grand
larceny and false pretenses are
inconsistent. The appellate
court disagreed, saying, He not
only intended (to steal the
money!. he consumated hii
purpose and actually converted
the money to his own use."
Skantze did not claim diplo-
matte immunity since he had
changed his status In 1855 from
diplomat to resident alien.
