is the new system to which the
Jaycees referred.
The letter said mot only
to protect the citizens Of our

city council"
'The new plan should be

expect to use the new system,
he said.

system, Briggs said, 1T is 60
ing to be enforced"

With the Fourth Of July weekend
here, we should not forget few
words of tribute to one of our most
enduring national monuments,
Gypsy Rose Lee.
Gypsy recently opened a one
woman Broadway show called "A
Curious Evening with Gypsy Rose
Lee," which will be on view around
the country this summer.
Gypsy sits on a stool and ex-
plains a collection of her ''home
movies,'' and the effect is like
being lectured to by a teacher that
you'd love to run off to a desert
island with.
Personally, l was SO entranced
that | whistled a tune as went
back stage to see her, something
picked up from the piano player.
She threw a shoe at me. Oar
ling she said, you ought to
know better than to whistle in a
dressing room!" l remembered the
old superstition and asked her if
she knew what it was based on.
She said no, she didn't. All she
knew was that if you whistled in
a dressing room, the chorus girl
nearest the door had to go out,
turn around three times and spit
- or she'd be fired On Saturday.
Evening star., 1961-07-02
Don't whistle at Gypsy!

"You may laugh" j" she said, "but
Eve seen it turn out that way
many times. Don't ever fool
around with theatrical supersti-
tions and folkways. Some of them
make no sense, but others do. -.
''For instance, if you'll give me
back that shoe, I'll put it where
it belongs - on the table. NereT
IeGre shoes on the floor! The rea-
son is that many dressing rooms
are in the basement and the floors
are damp"
We walked over to Sardi's restau-
rant for a sandwich, and Gypsy
(who has the rare charm of talking
to you as if you were a lifelong
friend) warned, "DOn't put any
thing in bureau dr0tceFs except
groceries or a small baby. Of
course you have to hide groceries,
because the landlady doesn't allow
cooking. But if you put clothes in
a drawer, you're liable to forget
them if you have to leave in a
hurry. Naturally, you'd never for
get the baby.
''And when the baby gets too big
to sleep in a bureau drawer, you
put him in the bathtub, but you
must always scrap a tO,CeI tight

ing is near. The ways and means
that have been devised to keep some
services going have merely delayed
the day when we must look ourselves
square in the face on this tax bust
ness.
Already the Republican majority
in the House and the new admins
tration are having to back up. The
great promises of consolidation have
not materialized, and there is little
doubt but that the people thought
Nutter was promising immediate re-
lief in overlapping, inefficiency and
expense of administering state gov
eminent. l think the people of Mon
tana expected the miracle of con-
tinued services without an increase
in Taxes, and now find they can't
have one without the other. 1t is a
cruel fact of politics that when peo-
pie grab WHISKY promises because
it is what they want to believe and
not because they have faced reality
they are in for shock, and the peo-
pie of Montana have had a shock.
The frightening truth, at the end
of the 45th day, the epd of trans
initial of bills in the House, is that
not one piece of legislation bene-
ficial to the general welfare has
been passed.
1t is standing joke, tragic and
not funny, among some legislators
that they have 1000 record of not
being able to win on any issue in
behalf of the people.
The House is controlled not by
corporate interests, but by foreign
corporate interests.
Montana, in the eyes of the House
Majority becomes vital part of the
national interest or ducks behind
the Chinese wall of colonialism, which

ever benefits the foreign corpora
tions.
Any attempts of Montana people
to keep our income at home or pro-
tect our natural resources for the
benefit of Montana people are al
ways perverted in some way so it
comes out a royal flush for the for
eign exploiters.
Instead of being able to develop
a dynamic and glorious state we
are being pinched, squeezed and
drained to a bloodless pulp. We
are being CONSTRUCTED so eighty
our struggles are being narrowed
to eating on each other.
The elected leaders of large groups
of people who fight to keep us from
being strangled by foreign corporate
control are held UP to scorn in a
calculated move to tear down the
effectiveness of organized groups.
The success of this campaign of the
past few years is in the outcome of
the 37th legislative assembly.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

After all the publicity about how
much cheaper the Republican major
ity in the House was going to run
this legislative session, it is interest
ing to note they more or less apollo
gized to the Democrats Wednesday
when they had to put through an APP
preparation bill for an additional
100000 to get through the 60 days.
If the session goes beyond 60 days
they may have to appropriate even
more to pay the attaches, who are
on daily basis. The legislators won't
get anything after the 6Oth day.
When the time comes to pick up
the pieces from this session I think
one obvious thing will be that the
Republicans aren't going to come out
much ahead of the Democrats. If
they do it will be at the expense of
vital services.
The situation the legislature finds
itself in is the result of phychosis
that has been built up over taxes
over the years during political cam
paigns; then when the legislature
gets to Helena they are caught in
their own trap.
The earmarking of funds for spec
ial purposes, and the practice of US
ing the Student fee" method of
building on our campuses is a child
of hn ,1,f1 hot u 10
an adult monster.
Refusing to face the needs of the
state, session after session, legislators
have put such a bind on necessary
state services the people have sought
means to circumvent the legislature
to get what they want.
These processes are wrong, if in
truth we believe in representative
government, and the day of reckon

State House Beat :.
FRANKLY SPEAKING

The Senate has begun its function
as a tranquilizer in the political life
of Montana. Being misrepresentation
of anything in particular it must re-
sign itself to the solution of problems
by the use of purely theoretical COM
putations of governmental double
talk. s
It's main function so far has been
to keep up a show of petty formalities
while the money men rummage
through the requirements of the next
two years to try to keep Montana on
an even keel. For the next three
weeks the Ship of State must swing
to the wild gyrations of the new
helmsman, Gov. Don Nutter, who
swallowed Budget Director Jack
Reid's bag of tricks much as college
freshmen used to swallow gold fish
in the old days. Meanwhile the money
committees are faced with the real
task of providing the foreseeable
needs for Montana to make the pas
sage in the sea of time.
AL CIlO uIOIIIcIlO dill CllO H6duS VI
the various segments of the admin
istration are studying the legislation
which has now been transmitted
to the adjoining law creating groups.
The intentness of this study is ap-
parent in the Controller and Board
of Examiner offices. The usual flow
of expenditures has virtually dried up.
TO DATE, ONE LAW ENACTED
Of the 204 pieces of legislation
which attempted to become law via
birth in the Senate, IA were killed
outright. Eight smothered in COM
mittee and only one has been signed
by the Governor so far. This one
permits hunters TO wear orange and
yellow clothing while hunting in addi-
ton to the usual red. Before it gained
it had to be amended so
that the hunter was required to wear
only one of the colors to prevent him
from looking too much like clown. |
Orange sleeves on red and yellow |
polka dot jacket would have been
too much.
The tranquilizing feature of the
Senate is one which you would
least expect from their back
grounds of doctor, lawyer, mer-
chant, Indian chief-rich man, poor
man, beggar man, thief.
The investigating committee of the
Jmber frame-up-smear came out with
he suggestion that the Senators be
approached with refinement. This has
rought about a furry of apologies /
n the floor as to the conduct of APP !
