The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-03-31
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Some years ago there was car
toon depicting a policeman beating
fellow who was hollering, "But |
tell you I am an anti-C Communist /,
and the policeman as he continued
his beating said, 81 don't care what
kind of a communist you are"
The political emotionalism of the
past decade has resulted in just such
an impasse in this country the
radical-lunatic right organizing in the
manner of, and using the tactics they
have publicly said they despise. The
general public at this point doesn't
know from whom to protect them
selves.
In the last couple of years the
fanaticism of the lunatic-right has
been so vicious that good people and
good issues have simply been backed
into corner. Reason has had no pub
lie appeal in the face of the machine
gun attack on every segment of our
society.
The conservatives paved the way
when they were able to nullify the
political effectiveness of the liberal
labor and farm groups through the
osmosis of a "strike the shepherd
and the sheep will scatter approach.
AS the cause of conservatism ad-
vanced with these tactics they gath
cred more and more radicals to their
ranks. The attack intensified on min
listers and educators and finally
reached the top offices of the land.
The goal was clear-to discredit
every organized group that repre-
sented large numbers of people. The
success has been frightening, but also
may have led to the excuses of to-
day.
In Montana Republicans court the
John Birch Society groups, and show
their film Communism on the Map
at their meetings, among other things.
In Helena the JBS film has been
shown not only at the Republican
meeting, but at Farm Bureau and
Lions Club meetings.

High School.
Sophomore and senior English were
involved in the encouraging team
approach. Each group was combined
under team of specialists. The in.
tensive studies of each specialist
caught the imagination of the class
which was divided into those going
on to college, the "knotheads" and
the "slow" ones. The problem of class
discipline improved in the large group
The feeling was that if they missed
the lecture they would not be able
to get the material again. The teach
ing which was divided into the in
structor's specialty-gra litera-
ture and speech-went up in quality
mostly from increased preparation
The teacher felt that his work had
to be good for presentation to 90
students whereas maybe he could slip
up on it with only the regular 80.
The other instructors used the time
to work on test papers and in helping
small groups called out from the gen.
eral lecture. Student talents were
discovered during these extra ses-
sions and brought to use. Individual
assistance was even made possible.
The experiment was a complete
success. More English was learned
by more students than was ever be-
fore possible.
tt was even considered possible
that the team approach could be used
in the elementary schools. The "se-
curity'' of having single teacher all
day was not considered necessary.
The child is rather used to dealing
with strangers. He has been used to
dealing with his mother and father
and they are not even related to one
another. His brothers and sisters
very probably give him less of a
chance to feel at ease than would the
different instructors of the team.
Team teaching in conjunction with
,he electronic computation of sched-
lies to utilize the educational oppor-
;unities available will help out with
he skinny budgets now in effect.

full scale in the immediate future.
The finest instruction available will

aid to Republicans who will
speak to the tradional party
rallies to be held this week.
The kit contains several
pages Of ''maxims and cogent

It also contains a warning
that 10 maxims Of impecable
conservatism, often attributed
to Lincoln, are spurious. Among
the sentiments Republicans are
warned against attributing to
their hero are, 'You cannot
bring about prosperity by dis
couraging thrift" and. "You
cannot help the poor by des-
troying the rich"

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 10 (AP) =.
Controller Louis L. Gold
stein said yesterday the State
collected 1854 million from it's
major tax sources during July.
Mr.. Goldstein said the total
of $25, ,399,676 represented a
1863 per cent increase over COL
lections for the same month a
year ago.
The largest increase was
noted in collections of $685.
319 from the individual income
tax, 28.8 cent, or SIG million,
over July last year. Mr.. Gold
stein said the variation in the
figures was only of a tempo
rary nature.
He explained that the In
come Tax Division is in the
middle of the processing period
for employers withholding re-
turns for the April-June
quarter and a better picture
can be obtained at the end of
August when this processing is
completed.
The first returns from the
recent increase in the sales tax
showed collections of $7,275,-
936, up $730,140 over a year
ago. The recent Legislature
lowered the sales tax base from
81 to 25 cents and applied it to
restaurant meals over 81.

The Saturday evening series
OF organ recitalS at st. Johns
Church, Lafayette Square, con-
tinued last night with a pro-
gram by Mark Fax, Associate
Professor of Music at Howard
University and organist and
choirmaster of the Asbury
Methodist Church.
Professor Fax outdid all his
predecessors in the series in
making the relatively made
quate organ in the church yield
some striking registrations. The
color drawn from the inStru-
ment in the third of the Bach
chorale preludes, Rejoice, Be-
loved Christians, was more
than I would have thought
possible.
Unfortunately, the perform
ance was marred by what for
some may have been highly
expressive playing, but for me
was excessive mannerism. The
chorale preludes were subjected
to all manner of arbitrary re-
tards-and not all of these at
phrase endings at that-and
this seemed to set the tone for
what followed.
In the two large works,
the Bach Fantasy and Fugue
and the Franck Chorale,
this rhythmic freedom rarely
seemed to be used to clarity
structure, but rather to some
end which I must admit
could not fathom.
Mr.. Fax's Three Pieces is a
conservative work, pleasant
enough in style and execution,
and doubtless very useful for
church performance.
The Handel concerto did
much better minus the orcheS-
ira than one might think. In

US. Recovery
Quickest Ever
BY the Associated Press

The quick recovery from the
winter recession was even
more vigorous than previously
calculated, the Commerce De-
partment said yesterday.
The department said the an
nual rate of the Gross Nation
al Product - the value of all
goods and services produced
rose from a recession low of
l$500.8 billion in the January
March quarter to $516.1 billion
in the April-June period.
A month ago the department
made an April-June estimate
which was lower by $4.1 billion.
This represents a faster
turnaround than experienced
in any of the other postwar
receSsionS," the report said.
THE second quarter sizable
advance follows three quarters
of mild decline and brought
real output back to the pre-
recession peak of a year ear
lier."
Nearly half Of the rise in
GIMP was attributed to an up
turn in the production and sale
of new autos.
The only bleak spot was in
ternational trade. In transfers
of goods and services, the sur
plus of exports over import
dropped from $5.3 billion to
$50 billion, on an annual basis.
Purchases by all levels of
Government advanced at the
rate of $2.3 billion to $107.3
billion. Defense spending moved
to a three-year high and is
continuing upward.
Spending for personal con-
sumption increased from $33O.7
billion to $336.1 billion. Private
investment in housing, plants
and equipment and inventories
rose from $59.8 billion to $68.8
billion.
