sumo has been picked by clerical help
and an IBM. At this point it might
pay to take a close look at the serv-
ices rendered by outside engineering
talent. Maybe in this case the BPR
would prefer the latter described To-
cation as base for an Interstate.
What about principle and principal?
The foregoing is only a sampling
of what the BPR has approved while
the State has not investigated or
adopted alternates that were pro-
posed whereby huge savings in money
could have been accomplished without
the public being forced to put up
with costly detours and delays for
years to come, and the use of present
highways for present and future
frontage.
Press releases from Helena have
carried items of the retirement of
three Area BPR Engineers in recent
months?
For over twenty-five years, as
Road Plans Engineer and Program
Engineer 1 construed the directives
that it was my duty in programming
funds for improvements to the var
ious systems to prepare alternate To-
cations for consideration where nee
essary and feasible. A history of those
alternate routes in many cases is
contained in the files of the Montana
Highway Commission.
Maybe Quinnell's statement as l
recall it-no more construction iii
Billings-can be based on the pro-
posed 9th Street RR separation
route, as now proposed. Any COM
ments, Mr.. Sorrels?
Time and space do not permit
further exploration of routes and
routings but be assured there are
many more than can be commented
on in a manner that is not to the
credit of the Highway Commission
under your regime.
So maybe in applying the Prin-
ciple and Principal and not Federal
interference at long last the only
course open to the BPR was
Federal interference rundown
of the latest proposal for an Inter-
state Route and this was applied
in the case of the Bitter Creek
Route application.

Civil Defense's "FallOut Protection"
People MOI Given All the Facts

problem of civil defense is in large
part scientific problem and should
be studied according 10 the methods
used in scientific analysis. This re-
port explores the nature and extent
of the problem, and will be followed
by others which will help the citizen
understand what he needs to know
about the weapons of nuclear war,
effect of nuclear weapons, biological
effects of nuclear war, long term eff
fects on the environment, and the
social and economic consequences of
nuclear war.
Although a basic principle of
scientific analysis is that all of the
available facts relevant to the prob
lem should be assembled, the report
states that most of the civil de-
Tense plans available to the public
are based on piecemeal analysis
and sometimes reach contradictory
conclusions.
The report says that the citizens

actual attack, many fallout shelters
would become death traps from blast
and fire..
Another fact which the report says
he government booklet fails to men
ion is that radiation from the ex-
olosion itself and from long-lived
sotopes could noticeably increase the
incidence of cancer and genetic mu-
5ations among survivors of a nuclear
var, and set off epidemics by lower

"a remarkable feature of all analy-
'es of the civil defense problem" the
chi report states, els that they as

With nuclear weapons only. Yet, in
the last 20 years there have been
such rapid advances in the develop
nent of chemical and biological wea-
oons, that some observers believe
hat these could be as destructive as
luclear bombs"
In conclusion the report states
that although the government has
emphasized the Importance of civil
defense and of each individuals
participation in it, the citizen has
not yet been offered a comprehen-
sive analysis of the civil defense
problem that meets the standards
of scientific validity.

twenty and thence up Beaver Greek

missing an airport and sliding hill,

seventeen to eighteen miles of Ma

Mr. Roy Sorrels, Chairman
Montana Highway Commission
Helena, Montana
Sir:
Many years ago the Bitter Creek
Route was turned down for Primary
Location, of recent years it was again
given consideration as an addition to
the Secondary System, and again was
turned down, but now when the BPR
turns down this same Bitter Creek
Route as an addition to the Interstate
System you cry Federal interference
and claim principle" has been vio-
lated.
From the recent history of the
Montana Highway Commission
let's review a few routes and az
tions and take into consideration
both principle and principal and
lack of Federal interference.
At Harlem you tell the people the
road relocation must be South of
town, about a half a mile or more.
When this location was first made
many years ago, and storm of pro-
test developed, a couplet was sug-
gested using the present location for
West bound traffic. lanes and
parking with little additional right
of-way cost and either Central or
South Ave. with 2 lanes and parking
for the East bound traffic-again
with very little right-of-way cost or
segregation and still leave Harlem
in the picture to enjoy a full and
prosperous life.
Now let's take look at Sunburst
an Interstate through town and
then to continue the losing battle
against nature by fighting the sliding
hill on the North, in what is prob
ably some of the worst soil condition
in Montana, while there is to the
East location, same length of i'm
provement, that avoids these pitfalls
at probably 500 of the present route
costs. Principle and principal are both
applicable in these cases-and also
maybe the BPR would prefer the
routes mentioned as alternates.
SIS MILLION DOWN
THE DRAIN"
The people of Financial District
No. 8 are again in Helena seeking
crossing of the Missouri River in their
section of Northeastern Montana. So
taking another look at the Roy-Malta
Robinson Bridge sinking road loca-
ton. and the million and half dol
lars of State funds, gas tax that went
down the drain, we find the people
of Fin. Dist. No. in dire need OF
their share of this principal in fl :
nancing this much needed improve
ment. Maybe in this instance the BPR /;
would have preferred the Sand Creek (
Rock Creek Route with large saving
IN State principal.
Then again let's take look at
the Livingston Billings Bench
route as opposed to the States
Valley location, which entails
doubtful parcels of right-of-way at
$500, 900 plus or minus an asking,
equipped with sewers that don't
