Montana's 37th Legislature, re-
versing a spending trend establish
ed in 1858. went home days late
but with a balanced budget. This
means, according to the Montana
Taxpayers Association, that Mon
tana State government should
start its climb out of red ink.
Appropriations were nearly dou-
bled by the legislatures from 1949
to 1859. The result was spending in
excess of revenue with the states
general fund ending up SIS million
in the red last June Both. The
economy minded 1861 Session put
the brakes on spending for the
next two years by cutting biennial
appropriations by $1.1 million.
What the final general fund
cash balance will be at the end
of the biennium depends upon a
host of factors, the report states
If revenue estimates pan out, Mon
tana's deficit should be reduced
to less than So million at the end
of June, 1868.
On June 30th of this year the
state general fund is expected tc
be Sc million in the red. In 1914

Unemployment
Continues Drop
For Third Week

The claim load for unemploy-
ment claims in Montana fell off
for the third week in a row last
week, dropping the total to 1880.
Chairman Edgar H. Reeder of
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission said the total number
of claims dipped by AT per cent, or
863, from the previous week.
He said that 20 of the % local
employment service offices re-
ported claim declines indicating
active interest in re-hiring in all
sections of the state.
The biggest drop was at Billings
where claims fell by 157. Helena
was second with a decline of 1O6.
Reeder attributed the bulk of
the statewide drop to increased
construction hiring. Hiring of adj
ditional farm hands, sales and SER
vice personnel, and some lumber
workers also helped to cut the
total, he said.
Reeder also noted recall of
miners at Butte and smeltermen
at Great Falls. Smelter employ
ment at Anaconda was also begin
ming to adjust to more stable pat
terms.
Early missile site construction
activity in the Great Falls area
created demand chiefly for cler-
ical workers and survey crews.
There is practically no hiring in
other clasSifications at this time.
Early stages of work at the Yel-
lowtail Dam site near Hardin and
Clark Canyon Dam near Dillon
occupied so workers each. Reloca-
ton of railroad tarcks was the
main activity on the Dillon pro-
iect. About 100 workers were en-
gagged in interstate highway con-
struction near Livingston.
Weather-caused layoffS in log
ging and numbering were blamed
for slight claim increases in Liv-
ingston and Thompson Falls.
; Jobless women filed 3.738 claims
I21.4 per cent of the total.
Claim filing ended for 100 un-
employment workers who cert.
! flied to their final benefit check
/ during the week. Included were 81
at Billings. 90 at Great Falls, 2:
, at Kalispell, 18 at Butte, and II

J.F.K. Wants To
Revise Immigration
Policies Of US,

Washington (ANP) - President
Kennedy last week called for a
us. immigration policy free from
any taint of racism or discrimina-
ton"
I'VE must never forget that we
are a nation of immigrants Ken
nedy said, "and that our land has
always been-and must continue
to be "a haven for the prosecuted
and oppressed who seek the air of
freedom"
Kennedys remarks were con-
tanned in a letter read by Angler
Biddle Duke, us. chief of pro-
tocol, to a luncheon meeting of
the American immigration and
Citizenship Conference, of which
Duke is the president.
Kennedy called for a widespread
revision of immigration policies to
be keyed to the tasks we face in
connection with every aspect of our
rapidly-changing world"
The emergence of new nations
in Asia and Africa, the assump-
ton Of power by any totalitarian
tyranny, the cries for assistance
when disaster strikes, all call for
the best in our American tradi-
tons" Kennedy said

Frisco Mayor Names
First Negro Member
Of School Roord

San Francisco (ANP) - A YER
bal battle - involving three diff
ferent factions in the Negro COM
munity continued last week
over the appointment of James
E. Stratten as the first Negro
member of the Board of Educa-
ton.
Negro leaders are divided as fol-
lows:
Those who praised the ap-
pointment, saying Mayor C. Chris
topher's appointment of Stratten
Negro, was in good faith, de-
feating both his choice and his
tactics.
2-Those who have bitterly
charged the mayor with "snub-
bing" Negro leadership in the ap,
pointment after making prior COM
mitments that he would consult
closely with the Negro community
before naming a Negro to the
board.
3-Those who fit in the category
of "neutralists' who are not a.
vocal and who maintain that thu
mayor has appointed Stratten 70,
better, worse or political gain, ant
the appointment will stick.

Educotor To cifV's
School Board

Milwaukee (ANP) - The cleo
ton here last week produced the
city's first Negro member of the
board Of education. He is Cornelius
Golightly, a Mississippi born edu-
Gator.
Golghtly, who ran behind the
slogan of "an educator for an edu-
Gators job" viewed his victory as
part of a national trend to accept
Negroes on their merits.
He said: It's reassuring to the
Negro voter to know that it is
possible for a Negro to run for
office and win"
Golightly, 43-year-old associate
professor at university of Wiscon-
sin, pointed out that he had cam
paigned as an individual on the
merits of his educational back
ground-"I am rare" he says wry-
ly, because I got my bachelors,
masters and doctors degrees all
in philosophy"
A native of Waterford, Miss, he
received his bachelors degree from
Talladega college in Alabama in
1888, his masters degree from the
University of Michigan in 1899

presiding elder of the fourth Epis-
copal district of the Chicago con-
ference, delivered the morning mes
sage.
The subject Of his very inspir-
ing message was Gods Eternal
Search" and scriptural basis was
II Chron. 1919. Rev. Ellison stated
that in spite of all folly, faults
and sin, man is a grand creature.
He is kin to beast, but he also has
that something that is close to
God. He further stated that to be
optimistic, there is nothing too
good one may say about man, for
there is much clay in man, also
much gold.
The speaker also stressed that
If one is a christian others will
know by the fruit one bears. In
conclusion, Rev. Ellison extended
the invitation for membership by
singing the old fashion hymn II
Will Guide Thee with Thine Eyes" "
The Cantinos provided the mu-
sic. Mrs. Margaret Jamison and
Miss Mary Howe were soloists

PILGRIM BAPTIST

"A Fear-Filled Room" was the
timely subject chosen by DR.. Mas
sey for the morning message,
based on John 20:19-29. The mini
ster pointed out that the disciples
stayed in a dark fear-filled room
for 80 hours after learning that
the Romans had crucified Christ.
There was no security in hiding but
fear had overwhelmed them.
DR.. Massey pointed out that
Jesus appeared to the disciples
while the door was closed and
showed them his wounds to prove
His identity. How can we show
christian characteristics? The min
lister pointed out that some of us
are humorous, some Of us grouchy
and some of us chronic complain
ers. Some of us are optimistic and
look for the brighter side Of every
situation. All of these are marks
of identity.
DR.. Massey compared lot Of us
with Thomas. Thomas was absent
when Jesus appeared the first time
and did not believe He had ap-
peared. He wanted first hand in
formation.
DR.. Massey pointed out that we
need a first hand experience Of
Jesus in our heart-not what has
happened to someone else. In spite
of the door being locked, Jesus
re-appeared to assure Thomas He
was there.
With this experience the dis
ciples went forth into all the world
to spread the word - something
had happened in that room behind
closed doors. They went forth to
spread the message. The message
was that God was alive and all
who believed would not perish.
Among the visiting guests were:
lMesdames E. Clark, Gary, Indiana,
D. Johnson, F. Davis, E. Small,
st. Paul, B. Riley, Detroit, Mich
igan and Mr.. M. Brice and family
in Minneapolis.
You are welcome and urged to
Fellowship at the prayer service
every Wednesday at pm.
Next Sunday DR.. Massey preach

Friendship" extends all a hearty
welcome.

ton the sentiments are overwhelm-
ingly integrationist.
But rather than risk an all-out
war on this issue, and possible de-
feat, the President apparently
hopes to out-flank the segregation
lists. The stategy, aside from ex-
ecutive orders in housing, govern
ment employment, etc, is to make
Negroes so acceptable in the eyes
Of white voters that their equality
will be taken for granted
Thus we have: Andrew Hat
cher as assistant White House
press secretary, Carl Rowan as a
State Dept. official, Louis Martin
as a top man In the Peace Corps,
and, Of course, Robert G. Weaver
as director Of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency.
This is the way the Administra-
ton has chosen to fight. They see
it as practical politics. The real
test on how well it works is yet
to come, but there is no denying
that progress towards equal rights
is being made.
