In Matagorda, Tex, where

farm agent said. The farm
community Of Magnet recorded
13 inches of rain.
Other sections of south and
central Texas received nearly
as much rain.

8 inches of rain between Sun

action to curb the hiring of
retired military personnel for
civilian jobs.
While not closing the door
entirely on the hiring of re-
tired military personnel in the
future, the department puts the
brakes on such practices which
had brought sharp criticism
from Congress and Government
employe groups.
In a communication to the
Secretaries of Army, Navy and
Air Force, Deputy Secretary of
Defense Roswell Gilpatric said
that in most instances" career
civilian employees should be pro-
NOTED to vacancies in the de-
tense agencies.
He directed that "full con-
sideration" be given career ci-
villains before any retired mill
tary personnel were to be Sc
lected.
Also, Mr.. Gilpatric directed
that in no instance shall CIV
ilian job vacancies be held open
pending the retirement of a
person in the military service
in order to provide the military
man the chance to fill the civil
ian job. This practice had
brought severe criticism from
Congress and employe organ
izatiens.
Further. any move to en-
ploy retired military man at
an installation at which he was
stationed for duty within the
six months period preceding
the proposed appointment will
require prior approval by the
Secretary Of the military de-
partment involved or his de-
signee for the purpose, Mr.. Gill
patric declared.
In cases where it is contem-
plated selecting a retired mill
tary person for a civilian Job
without recourse to civil service
job registers, recruitment must
be conducted in a way to give
other applicants a chance. This
will involve adequate publicity
on the vacancy and a long
enough period for all interested
persons to apply.
Finally, when civilian job
vacancies are filled through
civil service registers, retired
military job applicants will be
treated as any other applicants
consistent with the provisions
of the Veterans Preference Act
and civil service regulations.

and other trouble spots around
the globe.
A reporter asked Mr.. Gil
patric whether his emphasis on
a buildup of conventional
forces for use in a Berlin
emergency meant this country
would not employ its nuclear
deterrent.
The defense official said the
answer was no. But. he added,
emphasis in past military plan
ming had been heavily on the
nuclear side, so President Ken
nedy wanted to see what steps
could be taken to expand his
choice between nuclear and
conventional forces in a con-
flict over Berlin.
Unified Intelligence Setup
Mr.. Gilpatric also announced
yesterday the establishment of
a unified intelligence agency
within the Department of De-
fenSe. The new DIA-Defense
Intelligence Agency-will not
take over any functions from
the Central Intelligence
Agency, but will be aimed at
achieving greater unity of ef-
fort in the military intelli-
gence field.
He said the new agency had
been recommended by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the three
service secretaries. Under the
plan, each service will retain
its own intelligence network or
tactical and technical opera
tionS.
On another matter, the de-
fense official said there had
been no White House decision
yet on allocating responsibility
for an expanded civil defense
program to the Pentagon or
the Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization.

Evening star., 1961-07-12
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star staff Writer

The Post Office Department
plans to hold new exams among
postal workers for promotion
to supervisory jobs.
The last exam was held in
November. but postal officials
said many employees didn't
bother to take it because they
were aware that political in
fluence was necessary to quail
ify for supervisory jobs.
Now, with new policy re-
garding promotions in which
merit is the deciding factor and
all political influence is barred,
many employees would like to
take the exams for supervisory
jobs.
Postal officials still are un-
decided whether to hold a COM
plete new exam, which would
mean that those who passed
last November and are now on
promotion registers would have
to take it over, or whether to
limit it to employees who didn't
take 1t in November.
Indications are the exam
will be given only for those
who didn't take it last Novem-
Der. In this way, those who
passed then would remain on
the promotion list. Postal Off
cials emphasize that the party
affiliation of employes-Demo-
Gratis or Republicans-will play
no part in their promotions to
supervisory jobs. Their scores
on the exam and their stand
ing on the promotion register
will be the only factors, they
emphasize.

state. (See Editorial, this page). This
ill-concealed attempt to raid the trust
funds handled by the state for various
segments of the population is to swell
the General Fund in order to make
the Nutterite Administration look
good on the ledger sheet. 1t continues
to be the main objective of the Coun-
ell.
Instead of the present simple and
rational method of assigning a num-
Der to the various funds handled by
the Treasurer, the services of the state
would be Jumped into eight cookie
jar categories. AS the money filters
to it's intended purpose the intent
of the people of the state and the
various administrators could be
thwarted in their work just to please
the within of the Governor. This would
be done in the spirit of vanity which
allows everyone to assume he knows
what Governor would do. Self
Judgment is self-deception much out
of tune with the conditions of sur
vival.
So far, third of the 800 odd funds
which serve the special laws and func-.
lions of the state have been assigned

The spectre that all is not well with
the Ship of State passed over the
Montana Legislative Council Monday
and left the usually glib gentlemen
searching the rudimentaries of their
political beliefs.
The ghost of doubt arose when
it was brought to the councils atten-
tion that House Joint Resolution 8
called upon them to formulate a
course of action for the Legislature
of 1868 in regards to calling Con-
stitutional Convention. Council Di-
rector Gene Tidban brought forth the
question which detracted the solons
from their preoccupation of plunging
their fingers into the Treasurer's
funds and piling them in eight cookie
jars.
CRYSTAL BALL MIGHT HELP
Chairman Bill Mackay reacted in
stantly. The very thought of Con-
stitutional Convention is abhorant
when nobody would know the out
come of such a procedure. 1t should
not be held unless the final writings
were known before such venture
was undertaken.
1t was felt by other members of
the council that at least subcommit-
tee should be assigned to point out
the areas that could be improved by
amendments then, there are so
many places which could be improved
in the light of past experiences and
modern concepts that it probably
would be simpler in the long run to
rewrite the venerable document.
1t boiled down to partisan think
ing. The Republican-hued half of the
Council was struck dumb that a
new unknown writing would guide |
our future destiny and the Democrats |
were speechless considering the pos
sibility that new people would be do
ing the writing.
The usual procedure was used to
handle the question-procrastin
ton.

HAIL FUND, A
"STAGNANT POOL"

Without qualm the reserves would
be dumped from the "stagnant pools"
of the Hail Fund, the Water Board
would be wrung dry, the Fireman's
reserve for disability filtered out Of
the Auditors office into the Treas
ury, the insurance investigators taken
off the backs of the companies and
placed on the taxpayers pocketbook,
the Board of Health would be cauter-
lied, and then come the professional
boards.
The trouble with the professions.
ranging from abstractors to well dig
gers, is that while some keep the rec
ords of the profession in a shoe box
in the basement-others have built
the association into control of the
occupation which has superseded state
law. These boards would have their
funds abolished and a consolidated
office would be established with a
central secretary. The only hurdle
to go over on this plan is how to avoid
having each profession come before
appropriation committees for their
dole from the general fund.
COWBOY" FUNDS SACRED
The hoof slipped out of the velvet
glove of Montana politics when it
came to Livestock Commission funds!
They must be left essentially the
same, even to the predator control
funds which are turned over to Fish
& Game to pay for the federal hunt
ers.
The Legislature would be required
to give up its special fund being built
up to protect itself from the inroads
of the special interest gentlemen of
the corporations. The Lobbyist regis
tration funds, according to MIC,
should more properly be used to en-
nance the power of the Governors
Fund.
But come to think about it the
Legislature is just as unpredictable
as a Constitutional Convention. May
be we should just forget about the
constitution and abolish the Legisla-
lure. 1t would make for a smooth adj
under our monarch.

Pinpointing how miseraDly the 1861
House had provided for school, uni
versity system and custodial institu-
ton needs, Ringing said the Republi-
can victory in 1860 was due in no
small degree to ''the people of Mon
tana having been subjected to the
worst kind of propaganda against
taxes" Continuing, he charged that
the State C.ofC. and others ''who did
this job, know better :. That's what
makes it so reprehensible." The ''bet-
ter business climate" gang and their
"taxorama" Ringing said, worked
on the theory that eff you tell lie
often enough lot of people are
going to begin believing it.
Recalling the taxorama fable that
the 1859 Democratic legislature was
Irresponsible, Ringing pointed out
that while the taxpayers association
and other corporation fronts are now
claiming the gradually reducing gen
eral fund deficit is a result of 1861
legislative action, such assertions are
not true.
The fact is, Ringing stated, the
1859 session DID balance the budg-
eft, and through reasonable revisions
of personal income and corporation
license tax rates, made it possible
to chop more than 100000 off the
deficit in the fiscal year which
ended June 30. Appropriations for
the biennium which ended last June
were made by the 1859 assembly.
The former Meagher county SEN
ator, and now a stockman in Park
county, warned that the Democrats
