NEW YORK, June 90 (AP)
-Indecision and inaction pre-
vailed In the stock market early
this afternoon.
The only apparent trend in
the market, some said, was to
look ahead to the Fourth Of
July and the possibility OF
making it a long week end
Trading proceeded at a quiet
pace, with little prospect OF
any pickup in activity until
July 5.
The lack of either a rally or
selling movement apparently
was feeding on itself. Contin-
ued hearings in Washington
regarding possible investiga-
tions of the stock market
community was believed be-
hind some hesitation by the
public and the uncertain in
ternational situation was no
help in providing motivation
tor the market.
Steels and rails were steady,
while rubber and aircraft
shares were higher on balance.
Oils joined chemical and
metals on the downside, but
other groups we're a tumble of
fractional gains and losses.
The second day of auto in
dustry labor negotiations saw
both GIN and Ford ease slight

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

and this meeting is no exception.
Democrats seem to be making noises
as if they aren't going to let them
selves be pushed around like they
have in the past few years, which, if
true, could add lot to the next
campaign that hasn't been evident in
recent ones.
Even elections that are three years
away are discussed with vigor and
immediacy. Rumors that the present
Governor will be jettisoned by some
forces who were close to him, and
will be left with only his Birchite
friends and the power company, gives
heart to many political clam bakes.
But it is too early to form any con-
elusive thinking on the political con-
versations and l am sure there is
neither time nor room to do it now.
That is for another day.

A GREAT DAY FOR
MONTANA-MANSFIEID

Contending that nobody is hurt
and Everybody benefits from the
construction of federal dams. Mans
field said "this is a great day for
southeastern Montana I think
it is great day for all of Montana.
Yellowtail is as dear to my heart as
Hungry Horse in the western part
of the state. He said this dam was a
stride forward by participation of
the entire nation in a resource in
this part of the nation that will bene-
fit generations to come.
He pointed out the funds for this
type of project come from the tax
payers, administered by the national
government in Washington. D. C.
"Some people think this is bad. | do
not. Washington is not the seat of
a foreign government it is the capitol
of the people who inhabit the so
states, he said. ''The federal govern
ment is taking the lead as it should
in an area where no one else is ready
or able to do the job, he said.
Calling the tax dollars used for
development of natural resources
IAN investment in the future, he
said the u. S. Treasury is the care
taker and is going to be paid back
with interest every dime put into
this dam, in SO years. If the life of
the dam is 100 years that means
after the dam is paid for practical
ly every cent realized from it will
go into the treasury. 1t is very
little different from private invest
ment and development, at is good
business, he said.
Mansfield said both private and
'ublic power have a role to play in
he development of our natural re-
ources, "Under our democratic sys-
EN- the people have charged various
evels of government to do things
hey are unable to do best'. he stated.
