of service to Montana education

cal issues and '3they get very much
alarmed when they think there might
be political interference.

the assurance of faculties, not SO
much the president" he said.
Following Renne, President New
burn, of MSU, said the formal con-
tract for the president was not the
thing, but the important element was
to give confidence to the faculties.

CruybiM Says
Buffin Sfruys
From The Facts

KEEP. James baCJln is misleading
the people of eastern Montana with
his recent statements" Leo Graybill,
Jr., charged in a talk in Broadus last
night.
The Great Falls Democrat, nominee
for the eastern district seat in Con-
gress in the last election, said "Last
week Mr.. Battin cried wolf by telling
the people that extension of unem-
ployment benefits would cost Mon
tana more than we would gain"
"The same day." Graybill pointed
out, ''the chairman of Montana's I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion said under the program the net
gain to the state would be 100000.
"Battin also has contended the
Kennedy Administration is extending
the Soil Bank, a statement proven
false when someone contacted the
Agriculture Department to get the
facts"
Graybill, Great Falls lawyer,
said the people in democracy need
ment. 'sMr. Battin simply is misrepre-
senting or twisting many of the facts
the people need to know"
MORE IGNORING OF THE FACTS
Wednesday evening at Jefferson
Jackson day dinner in Ryegate spon-
sored by the Golden Valley County
Democratic organization, Graybill
stated that Cong. Battin is ignoring
the facts and telling the people of
Montana what he thinks they want
to hear.
'Montanans who thought Mr.. Bat
tin would represent all the people
must be disappointed Graybill de-
clared. "Mr. Battin's voting record
clearly shows he is not representing
the people or the state, but only GER
tain special interest groups"
Graybill said statement by Battin
in Billings last week that the miners
in Butte should pack up and leave
because of unemployment in that |
area lis typical of his attitude toward |
some people,"
The Great Falls Democrat said
Battin told a radio audience that
Butte is "ghost town" and tried to
Justify his vote against the depressed
areas bill by suggesting that the min
ers "move on"
Graybill wondered whether Battin
n future statements might suggest
hat farmers or other groups faced
With difficult economic problems
hould move on too.
"Montana's congressman should
epresent the entire state and not
gnore the problems of people outside
is district. Recent statements at
ributed to Mr.. Battin show a dis
ressing responsibility and lack Of
oncern for suffering in some seq
lents of our society,"" Graybill

road structure of the merged railroad
be comparable in value to the worth
of the mineral resources and lands
embodied in the Northern Pacific's
land grant. Answer this question for
yourselves.
THINKS SEPARATE MINERALS
CORPORATION NEEDED
"Why then, we respectfully ask,
have not the board of directors of
our railroad provided that the present
land grants and mineral holdings of
the Northern Pacific be set up in
separate corporation-the income
from the present and future earnings
to be reserved to Northern Pacific
stockholders only, as of the effective
date of the proposed merger? Of
course, in the event the land grants
were set up in separate corporation
as suggested here the exchange ratio
would be less favorable to Northern
Pacific stockholders. Again, we ask,
what right have Great Northern and
Burlington stockholders to demand
any share in this income, if share they
should at all, and what do they offer
us in exchange?
while it is true, no doubt, that
the company has sold much of the
original grant, it still retains as far
as we know, much timber land, as
well as most of the mineral and oil
and gas rights in the original grant
witness of the company's oil in
come from its holdings in the Will
Hston basin. Therefore, we contend,
that the actual wealth in this merg-
er is mostly in what the Northern
Pacific has to offer -

ELEMENTARY COURSES
TO CONTINUE

Miss Miller's department will con-
tinue making available the elementary
courses they have developed because
instruction of this nature is available
nowhere else in the country. The
correspondence course law was en-
acted to make available some form
of instruction for isolated children.
There are no isolated children of high
school age now in Montana. Home
to-school telephones have been of
great help to the handicapped.
Of the 70 now taking courses in
the State Prison in Deer Lodge, some
means will have to be found by
Warden Floyd Powell to have the
courses corrected either by a cash
donation by some philanthropic or
ganization or by individual contribu-
tions of time. Enough courses are on
hand to carry the prison over the
next two years of financial drought.
The board approved the use of
inmate instructors in the prisons edu-
cational program. Also approved were
employees who have had no academic
training however they were restricted
from teaching English, math, social
sciences, etc. Only courses in shop
work and mechanics will be under
the supervision of the unframed
teachers.
The board approved the disburse-
ment of the remaining 40 per cent
Of the foundation program for this
year to the school districts or as much
as is available in the State Public
School Equalization Fund.

wanted more time. Mullendore be-
moaned the sad state of Montana
economics and said ''to tie our hands
on this kind of thing for three years
without giving us chance to further
study and come to conclusions is not
right. He twas not opposed to educa-
ton, except, he wanted to get dol
lars worth of education from dol
lars worth of taxes
Mullendore, who made the longest
speech on the subject said, 81 doubt
if anyone would hire anyone for three
years without having club well,
not club. but contract they can
not get out Off.
Lund assured Mullendore the board
had protected themselves against
contingencies such as had been init
mated.
Mullendore said he would never
offer a contract of more than one
year for help on his operations.
George Lund said he too had felt
the rigors of the climate of eastern
Montana, economically as well as
otherwise and felt he could say he
had made a success of his business.
"And i have given tenents contracts
for five years that could be renewed
:. but maybe we have better type
of people in our area, he said.
