CHICAGO, Aug. 7.--"Who's
on first and what's on second"
"a real funny routine the way
Abbott and Costello used to do
it's giving Manager Mickey
Vernon of the Senators abso-
lutely no laughs today.
The wholesale juggling act
Vernon is using on his ball club
is supposed to shake it out of
its headlong dive toward the
basement of the American
League. So far, no returns.
Two drastically different
lineups proved one could lose
just as dramatically as the
other in a double loss to the
White Sox yesterday, 5-4 and
4-3. The setbacks dragged the
Senators to eighth place.
Idle today, the Senators
move to Cleveland to open a
two game series tomorrow
might that spells the end of a
rocky road trip. The Senators
are ALL on the trip. They
won't return to Chicago this
year, which is fine with them.
They won the opener here and
haven't won since, thus posting
a 1-8 record at Comiskey Park.
Dale Long hit tying home
runs in the ninth inning of
both games yesterday, but
those heroics went to waste as
the White Sox took advantage
of bases on balls in one game
and suspect fielding in both to
win in the bottom of the ninth
and send 17,108 customers
home happy.
Green Benched
Gene Green, Washington's
top hitter, sat out both ends of
the double header yesterday
following Saturdays game in
which he demonstrated again
that hitting the ball is one
thing and catching it some
thing else. ~
Bud zipfel, the minor league
phenom, got in only as a pinch
hitter in difference to Long,
while two other young infield-
ers supposedly with a future on
the Senators, Bob Johnson and
Chuck Cottier, were benched
for the nightcap.
Only Pete Daley, Green's re-
placement behind the plate;
Long, Outfielder Chuck Hinton
and Infielder Danny O'Connell
played both games.
"The juggling will continue"
says Vernon, who has only so
much he can juggle. II don't
know how I'm going to juggle,
but I've to do something. That
infield that played the second
game was the one we started
the season with. I thought
maybe we could win a game
that way.
Pitching Adequate
Hinton will stay in the line
UP and Zipfel will be back in
there, too. So will Cottier. ]

In an unrecorded 44-47 vote the
House Monday killed HB sc, thai
would have strengthened the qualifi
cations for teachers in the state by re
quiring a Bachelors degree.
The miserable incapacity and in.
ability of the State of Montana to
meet it's educational obligations, one
of the most pronounced civilizations
of the state, day in and day out in
Helena during this session, was used
in the "poor mouth declarations on
this bill.
The bill came out of committee
with a majority edo not pass" recon-
mendation and a minority "do pass.
The 44-47 vote killing the bill came
on the edo pass" motion, and voting
was not on party Lines.
The debate on the bill followed a
line that has become almost rote in
the House.
The most interesting reparte took
place between Francis Bardanouve
(D-Blaine) and Raymond Gustafson
(D-Pondera). Gustafson, a veteri-
marian, opposed increasing teacher
standards on the basis of cost and
leaving the matter as one of '1ocal
option.
Bardanouve, after determining
that Mr.. Gustafson had spent more
than four years receiving his training
as veterinarian and, that his Gus
toners were the farmers of his
county, said, "The gentleman from
Pondera says the people in his county
cannot afford we'll trained teachers,
but they hire one of the best trained
men to take care of their horses and
cows (. if they can hire one of the
best trained vets in the area they
should also have well trained people
to take care of their children.

ing the bill requiring trained teach
ers for Montana rural children on

said the state did not go out and
solicit insurance, and the reason for
growth in state business was because
stock companies increased their rates
and cut their commissions to their
agents. He praised E. K. Bowman
efficient management of the state
board over the years, and called the
State Hail Insurance Department a
regulatory agency that keeps hail
insurance rates realistic. He point
ed out that the state board does not
give commissions nor does it adver-
tise. To be regulatory agency they
only have to write a small amount
of insurance.
MIR. Hjartarson said without this
department rates would be difficult
to hold in line because "there are
many ways to get around facts and
figures and any rate company
wanted could be easily justified.
Also, he said, there is no way to
compare adjustments without the
State Hail Insurance Board.
'In the interest of equitable rates
and equitable adjustments SO farmers
can have reasonable rates and rea-
sonable contracts, he said, "the State
Hail Insurance Board should not be
abolished.
Rep. Magnus Aasheim (D-Sheri-
dam was chairman for those who
want to maintain the state hail in
surance program. He said that the
state program does not hinder a good
stock company salesman from selling
hail insurance to the farmers; that
farmers must go to the county assess
or to get the insurance and there are
no statesmen or commissions involved
in the state plan.

Hearing Held On COP
Strikebreukinq Bill

Two hearings in the Governors
reception room Wednesday afternoon
before the House Labor and Compen-
sation Committee concerned HB 313
establishing $1.0O minimum wage
and HB 430, a bill termed by pro-
ponents as labor management peace
measure and by opponents as strike
breaking bill.
The basic tenets involved in mini
mum wage can be presented in a
short time and the approximately 80
minutes allowed each side on that
bill was not oppressive. However, in
matter as complicated as HB 430
much more time was needed than the
scheduled 80 minutes for each side.
This could be attested by the ques-
lions asked by some committee mem
bers revealing their lack of informa-
ton on matters of unionism.
The comparison between the 30
minutes for each side on this issue
and the hour and 80 minutes al
lowed each side in the trading
stamp issue is noteworthy.
Worthy of note also to this re-
porter was the fact the chairman
for the proponents of HB 430, Al
Libra, Helena Employers attorney,
concluded his presentation by saying
the committee should look to the in
dividual working man for an opinion
on this bill :. ''the individual work
ing man for whom the bill is de-
signed''. This statement followed by
less than an hour Mr.. Libra's, as the
same Employers Association attorney,
bestifying against establishing mini
mum wage in Montana.
Mr.. Libra, with HB 430, would
free the individual working man"
from the persuasive :. hurried
influence of his collective member
ship and leadership and he wants
to be sure the working man has no
protection from the law by way of
a minimum wage.
Representatives of union people
from the industrial areas appeared
at the meeting. Because of the legal
in HB 430 in two diff
ferent towns sent attorneys.

Butte unions.

The labor attorneys said the law
was unnecessary because of fed
eral presumption in the field it
tried to cover; that it would pro-
mote labor strife not labor peace.
Some members of the committee
seemed unnerved to learn AFL-CIO
unions have been holding secret cleo
tions since 1885.
TIMBER said labor unions would be
in the position of either being in vio-
lation of federal law or state law
if HB 40 passed. He called it a

To Keep VAUDEVILLE From Gazing In
Mayor Asks Safeguards Be
Put In Eminent Domain Bill

Mayor Jimmy Shea eloquently de-
Tended VAUDEVILLE, which is perched
precariously ON the precipice created
by the Alice pit operations of the
Anaconda Company, at the hearing
on Senate Bill 112 Tuesday night.
SD 112 would give the right of emil
nent domain to mining companies for
open pit operations. Present mining
law, based upon "apex' concepts,
gives Anaconda the right to every
thing in Butte except the surface and
the pit method of mining takes even
that.
Shea pleaded with the solons not
to pass this law without some safe
guards for the public.
VAUDEVILLE has been a place for
people to live in for over 70 years. A
fine place according to Shea until
two years ago when the pit opera
tions began and he received a phone
call from Mrs. Dionise, Jimmy,
they're going to take up the roads up
to my back door,"

Senate Resolution
Asks Much Needed
Pollution Study

An investigation of the adequacy
of existing water pollution laws and
examining the need for air pollution
control legislation is asked of the
legislative council under SIR 7, by Dus-
sault and four other senator's. The
other sponsors are Cunning, Nc
Gowan, Harken and Grieve.
In making the study request, SIR 7
points out that 'sthe purity of Mon
tana's water and air are conducive
to the attraction Of tourists and new
industry, and with further economic
development and population increase,
the quantity and variety of water
and air contaminants will increase.
The resolution also notes 'Ethe
presence of dusts, fumes, mist, odor,
smoke and vapor produces discomfort
and reduces the enjoyment of life
and property and an increase of
the presence of these contaminants
may be injurious to vegetation and
public health :"
Further, the purity of our water
is necessary for the protection of
the health of the citizens of Mon
lana pollution of our streams
destroys fish habitat and reduces OPP
oortunities of recreation for our citi-
zens and tourists; and +. existing
water pollution laws may not be ade-
luate for the prevention of pollution

Following a public hearing last
week the House Judiciary Commit
tee came out with majority and
minority report Wednesday morn
ing.
There was a roll call vote on the
minority report recommending that
the bill to abolish the state hail
insurance board do not pass. (See
below.
The minority report lost so the
merits of this issue will be debated
again on general orders before it
state Senate.
The report below is of the public
hearing. The debate on the floor
of the House brought out the same
points, for and against the bill.
The hail insurance board was Gre
ated by the 1917 legislature for the
protection of farmers who were not
able to get insurance or could obtain
it only at exorbitant rates. There
were many "old timers" at the hear
ing Saturday who remembered those
days, and perhaps could be excused
for their lack of confidence in the
promises of insurance companies.
Insurance companies in the same
breath said: the State board did not
serve enough people to have useful
purpose land that if the board was not
abolished some insurance agents
would be having to look for other
jobs because of the lack of business,
and" some companies might have to
withdraw their business from the
state''-a time honored threat of in
dustry before a state legislature.

Tim Sullivan Gets
Credit For kiIIinq
Civic Center Levy

A short inter-necine battle took
place on the floor Wednesday when
Tim Sullivan (D-Silver Bow and
Lawrence Stimatz (D-Silver Bow
locked horns ON HB 261. That bill
would have allowed Butte an increase
in permissive levy, according to Sti-
matz, making it possible to keep
the Butte Civic Center OPEN.
Sullivan opposed the motion of
Stimatz to keep the bill alive after
it had come out of committee with a
edo not pass recommendation He
called the Civic Center a political
football in Silver Bow county,.
Stimatz said he did not think the
city politics of Butte was subject
for legislative debate, but it was
necessary to get legislative sanction
to increase the levy. He said if the
bill was killed the Civic Center would
close down.
Stimatz and the Butte Civic
Center lost.

AT Big Timber

BIG TIMBER-The Montana Pro-
tective Association and the Upper
Yellowstone Valley Protective Asso-
citation held their annual convention
in the Legion Hall here, January %,
1861. Ninety-one members were pres
emit representing Yellowstone, Still
water, Sweetgrass, Park, Gallatin
and Prairie counties.
Association members discussed the
pending Highway legislation. They
presented and passed resolutions OPP
posing HB 1874 and 1876 on the
grounds that:
1. Such proposed legislation is un-
constitutional;
2. Provides for the condemnation
and taking property without the due
process of law;
8. Places the landowner in posi-
ton where he can not financially de-
fend himself against the dictatorial
powers of the Highway Commission
and the paid legal staff of that High
way Commission.
Passed at the meeting was reso-
luton opposing any legislation that
gives the Highway Commission 'au-
thority or the use of trust funds for
the purpose of purchasing real estate
land or property not necessary for
