FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

Operation Abolition, the lying
smear which is billed as an anti-Com-
munist movie, was shown to the High
way Department headquarters per-
sonnet last Friday afternoon at 400
pm. This is the propaganda film en-
dorsed by the John Birchers. 1t was
furnished to the Highway by the
American Legion and ordered shown
to the department by Gov. Don Nut
ter. so of the 800 in the Helena head
quarters attended. The movie is to
be shown again to the rest of the
who may have missed it.
The film used was badly scratched
and spliced from repeated showings.

\ DISTRICT COURT MATTER

Whether the Montana Council on
Co-operatives is proper party at
interest in the case, Massman said,
is for the District Court to decide
and if they are not they can be re-
moved.
For the Supreme Court to assume
jurisdiction before there has been a
hearing in the district court, he con-
tended, is premature because they
have no evidence on which to act.
The allegations made by the CO.
operatives have neither been prov

en- or disproven, and Massman said,
according to MIR. Smiths conten-
tions it is never proper for any
one to seek extraordinary relief in
tax matters. 81 think this is just
little fantastic, he said, and
added, "How abusive does board
have to become before we get
help?
Massman said the Board of Equali-
cation majority members had gone
against their legal advisors and career
people who had more experience in
years than these board members had
in weeks. Justice Stanley Doyle asked
if the career people were attorneys?
Massman said they were not. Doyle
said "only lawyer has the right to
advise anyone as to the law of this
on the fright" of inexperienced Board
of Equalization members who have
no legal training to set forth rulings
based on state law.
''This fiasco might not have oc-
Cured if they had used their legal
staff for advice and consultation,
Massman replied. He said there was
no argument about the right of the
board to make regulations, but 1--WE
want them to do it within the law,
we don't want them to be legislature
or the courts" He said he did not
think the Supreme Court would want
the board to delay this matter in
definitely and he said such an at
tempt would be clearly outside the
law and should be stopped by stay
ing order.
On whether the state board is
bound by the law that says the fed
eral law will be followed to deter
mine the criteria under which pa
tronage dividends are taxed, JUS
tice Doyle asked, ''Do you think
we are bound by federal law?
Massman answered, "the legisla-
ture specifically says So.
Doyle, who stated he did not agree
with Massman on the matter of the
case being properly in the 9th Dis
trict, asked what there is in Cascade
county that would give that county
several thousand cooperative MEM
bers in Cascade county.
A GLASS" SUIT
AS to the matter of asking for
$4,000 in attorneys fees for the col
lection of a $14.76 tax, Massman
said the tax was much more than
S14.76 because this was not just
an individual suit but rather "class"
suit affecting many co-operatives
and it would be up to the district
court to decide how much, if anything,
he attorney was entitled to. Because
If the arbitrariness of the board, he
'aid, and the time already spent on
he case, he would charge more than
$1,000.

more material on taxing of co-opera-
ives, but was stopped by Justice
Castles who YEARLY commented he

"SOMETHING NEW"

Turning to Montana, the Junior

Trucker Tim Babcock, Metcalf said
the Lieutenant Governor is one of
those "who doesn't want to spend
ANY tax money for anything except

that Babcock was against continual
ton of the federal impact educational
aid act. CAT the very time when Re-
publican Senators Goldwater and
Mundt were fighting for the impact
bill ON the floor of the Senate, I re-
ceived wire from Babcock denounc-
ing the bill as socialistic. Every
Senator, he said, voted for the. bill. |

the act, "but, our Governor, Lieuten-

RECENT POLLUTION CONTROL

He said "Mike and I were proud"
that they came to Montana to meet
our people and secure first hand in
formation on water pollution prob
lens in sparsely-settled state for
study and for comparison with pollu-
ton problems Of the thickly settled
eastern states. (For detailed reporting

BLOODMOBILE TO VISIT
SWAN QUARTER FEB. II

The Red Cross Bloodmobiie will
be at the Agricultural Building in
Swan Quarter Tuesday, February
81, 1861 from 10 am. to 8 pm.
w. E. Bishop, Hyde County
Chairman of the Red Cross Blood
program, says Hyde County resi-
dents desiring to see the program
continued should make arrange
ments to donate blood at this time.
The county fell short of its quota
last year and should make every
effort to meet the quota this time
in order to assure the continuance
of the program.
Mr.. Bishop pointed out that
many Hyde residents have bene-
fitted from the program by having
blood available when needed, thus
relieving family members from
seeking donors at the time Of need.

BY STEVE WALL. Wilmington. N. c.

For hundred years now North
Cardinals barrier reef has beer
waging losing battle in a relent.
less struggle to hold the mighty
Atlantic at bay.
The States first line of defense
some 800 miles long and not more
than a few hundred yards wide ir
some instances, is gradually being
eaten away by gale and hurricane
propelled waves as we'll as by nor.
NAL tidal action.
Where the shore line stood prior
to 1850 is purely speculation, but
from this date forward the high
water mark in many places has
moved inland as much as 600 feet
If this gradual recession contin.
ues, and authorities say it will, oul
protective barrier will eventually
disappear, leaving the low flat
mainland defenseless.
BY what authority, then, come
such dire conclusiins about the
famed Outer Banks and their ex.
tension southwark to Little River
S. c.? t
It's all contained in a compre-
hensive document published in CO.
operation with the State of North
Carolina.
The document points out that the
main detectives were to obtain data
which would contribute to the ad-
vancement of technical knowledge
Of the processes of beach changes
and to gather information useful
in planning for proper development
of beaches as recreational areas
The findings, however, paint a
gloomy picture, for it says without
qualifying footnotes:
"The ocean shore line of North
Carolina is, in general, retreating
slowly and will continue to re-
treat"
Many statistics and much explain.
atory matter are advanced by the
document to bear out this depres-
sing conclusion.
Unfortunately, there are no sta
tistics Immediately available which
would give comprehensive picture
of what has taken place for the last
ID years beginning with 1947. The
Corps of Engineers points out
however, in an unofficial capacity
that Core Banks from Portsmouth
to Cape Lookout has eroded at ar
alarming degree during the 14-yeai
period, and that elsewhere signs dc

and 1920. erosion has moved the

shore line inward 249 feet in the
Oregon Inlet area, 395 feet at New
Inlet (now closely and 100 feet
Immediately north of Cape Hat
teras.
In the Hatteras Inlet area ero-
sion has taken a toll of over 500
feet, but farther south at Ocracoke
Inlet recession was less severe with
a landward movement of 80 to 80
feet. Beginning at Drum Inlet and
continuing to Cape Lookout, how
ever, erosion increased to better
than $50 feet. Around Hatteras In
let erosion averaged over 10 feet a
year for the go years ending about
1920. Although recession was not
too severe in the Ocracoke Inler-
Drum Inlet area, erosion stepped
up within the 10-mile limit of Cape
Lookout where the shore line cut
landward as much as $50 feet for
an annual average of six feet.
From Beaufort Inlet to New Riv-
er Inlet recession reached 100 feet
in only one instance Cat New Riv-
cry, but it rose to over 600 feet be-
tween the latter point and Queen
(Mason) Inlet during the 70-year
period ending in 1880. Strangely
enough but typical of natural for
ces, erosion amounted to $50 feet
at New Topsail Inlet but only no
feet two miles southwark at old
Topsail Inlet. Then it shot upward
to 400 feet at Rich Inlet and con-
tinued to $50 feet at Queen Inlet
just north of Wrightsville Beach.
Recession of the shore line from
the Wrightsville Beach area, in
Guiding Masonboro Inlet, to Cape
Fear shows a landward movement
of 100 10 200 feet for the period of
1S60-19S5.
Carolina Beach and vicinity, the
subject of a recently completed
plan to combat erosion and to pro-
vide protection from hurricanes,
show continuation of slow recess
sion of the high-water line and a
general steepening of bottom pro-
files.
The study Of this area encounter
ed numerous setbacks resulting
from weather disturbances. Hurri-
canes of 1864 and 1856 imposed new
situations and thus brought about
new starts in arriving at true con-
ditions and the best type of mea-
sures TO retard the landward move
ment Of the shore line. Another
