The House Civil Service Com
mittte virtually has killed for
the year the bill to permit OPP
tional retirement of Federal
employees on full annuity after
so years of service.
In scheduling action on a
long list Of bills, the House
grpup yesterday ignored the
30ryear retirement measure.
This appears to bury it for the
year.
The Senate Civil Service
Committee last year approved
the 30-year retirement bill.
with an amendment allowing
such retirementS on full an
nuity at age SIS. The Senate
has done nothing since on the
bill, but there had been an
outside hope that the House
Cifil Service Committee might
revive the legislation by Initial
ing action of its own.
On the other hand, the
House committee revived hope
for the bill to increase the
amount of life insurance held
by. Government workers under
the Federal employe life in
Surance program.
It appointed a subcommittee
headed by Representative Nor
rispn, Democrat of Louisiana,
to. hold hearings on the bill
The measure, already approved
by. the Senate, would give ar
additional $1,000 insurance tc
employees earning up to $4,000
a year, and $4,000 more insur-
ance to those earning more
than $4,000 annually. En-
ployes would pay additions.
premiums on the same basi.
they are paying now.
The House committee set ur
another subcommittee, ais
headed by Mr.. Morrison, Il
hold hearings on legislation tt
increase the annuities of re.
tired Federal workers and theil
dependents.
Also referred to this subcom.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Bill for FuII-Annuity Retirement
After 30 Years Appears Buried

mittee voted to make a study
suggested by two of its mem
bers on whether the Govern
ment is discriminating against
older people when it comes to
promotions and appointments
in the Federal service.
The two members, Repre-
sentatives Olsen Of Montana
and Beckworth of Texas. both
Democrats, will be on the sub
committee.
AS a starter, the group in
tends to devise a QUESTIONABLE
on employment and promotion
practices which the various
agencies, bureaus and offices
will be required to fill out.
The group intends to follow
up on the QUESTIONABLE by
sending its own investigators
into various bureaus and Of
fices to investigate complaints
and make spot checks.
The Civil Service Committee
authorized Chairman Murray
to seek sufficient funds from
the House to make this and
other Investigations.

OTHER BILLS-The House
Civil Service Committee also
set UP a subcommittee to han
die a bill to abolish the present
system whereby the Govern
ment pays the insurance pre-
miums of Federal workers who
handle Federal funds or secu-
rites.
Under the bill, neither the
Government nor the employees
would pay the insurance pre-
miums. The Government in
stead would assume the risk of
money losses. The General Ac-
counting Office found it was
cheaper for the Government to
incur whatever losses occur
than to pay premiums for in
Surance to cover the losses.

By the Associated Press

Senator Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota, invited Presi-
dent Kennedy today to speak
out on what Senator Mundt
called an attempt by Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Freeman to
thwart q Senate investigation
Of the Billie Sol Estes case.
Senator Mundt and Senator
Curtis of Nebraska, the two Re-
publican members Of the Sen
ate Investigations Subcommittee
probing Estes dealings with
the Agriculture Department,
yesterday accused Mr.. Freeman
Of trying to intimidate them.
The two Senators made pub
lie a sworn statement to sub
committee investigators from
Thomas r. Hughes, Mr.. Free
mans executive secretary, ack-
nowledging that Mr.. Hughes
had ordered his staff to dig
out of the departments files
copies Of all correspondence
with Senators Mundt and Cur
tbs, but not the letters of any
other Congress members.
Uniformed Freeman"
"I am almost certain that
at the time I made the request
for the correspondence I in
formed Secretary Freeman"
Mr.. Hughes statement said,
adding:
81 felt that this material
would be useful to Secretary
Freeman in connection with
his appearance before the sub
committee"
Mr.. Hughes said the idea
was his own and that he was
curious about the depart
ment's experience" with the
two Republican Senators in
connection with rapid amorti-
cation of grain elevator con-
struction and grain storage
matters.
Reject Explanation
Senators Mundt and Curtis
both said fatty they didn't be-
lieve this explanation. They
said they had learned the de-
partment planned to leak out
distorted versions Of the cor
reSpondence to newsmen
closely affiliated with the
White House"
In Joint statement they de-
scribed the search for CORES
pondence as an attempt to-
intimidate the two minority
members" Of the subcommittee,
an effort to thwart the investi-
cation, and a foredoomed move
to curry favor with the Dem
ocratic members" by not look
ing over their correspondence,
too.
II don't think they're going
to buy them off this easily"
Senator Mundt said.
Republican leaders in both
Houses today denounced the
departments action.
Senator Dirksen Of Illinois
said "it smacks a little of Ges-
tapo techniques" and House
Republican Leader Halleck
said it will shock the country.
Mr.. Halleck also predicted
it would not intimidate Sena-
tor Mcclellan. Democrat of
Arkansas. chairman Of the
Senate subcommittee which
will conduct the investigation
Of the Estes case.
Following with a statement
Of his own, Secretary Freeman
said there never was any in
tention to make public any
material in the file, but rather
to review matters of concern
to the Senators by examining
inquiries they have directed to
the Department"
The Secretary also said: "I
have not personally reviewed
the files or discussed the mat
ter with Mr.. Hughes since he
first mentioned it several weeks
ago. I am surprised at the vio-
lent reaction of Senators

Mr.. Howard F. Johnson, Sup
erinetndent of the Blackfeet
Agency, announced today that
the National Park Service, US.
Forest Service. Bureau of Land
management, and Bureau of In.
Clan Affairs will cooperate again
this year TO present the annual
Blackfeet Fire-Fighters Training
School.
The training sessions will be
held at the Browning High
School Auditorium on ..une 25th
and 18th.
On June 25th special instruc-
ton and training will be given
to Liaison Officers from the var
ious National Forests, National
Parks and Bureau of Land Man
sgement who will serve the In
dian fire crews this summer.
The Blackfeet Fire-Fighters
Crew-bosSes and Squad-bosses
will attend the June 18th ses-
sion. The program this day is de-
signed to train the Fire-Fighter
overhead in forest fire suppress
sion, leadership and organization
skills. The agencies using the
services of the Fire-Fighters feel
that the Indian Fire Crews are
experienced and proficient in
fire line work and construction
and do not need the basic train
ing given in past years. The fire
control agencies feel that it is
now important to train the over
head in foremanship to increase
crew efficiency. All Blackfeet
Fire-Fighters who will be en-
ployed in a foreman capacity
should attend the Fire School.
The program will begin at 800
AM. sharp. Tuesday. June 26th.

Glacier County
Jail Escupee
Captured in Seattle

CUT BANK - Seattle police
notified Glacier County authori-
ties here Wednesday they had
captured Don Mocabee, 81, a
two-time fugitive from the Cut
Bank Jail.
Mocabee has been free since
his second escape June 9. He
was to have been sentenced June
ii on a misdemeanor conviction
of escape.
Glacier County officials said
they would not extradite Moca-
bee on the misdemeanor, which
would bring a maximum sentence
of six months in Jail. They said
they would let Washington State
authorities handle Mocabee as a
parole violator from Washington
State Penitentiary at Walla Wal
la.
Sheriff Jesse Harlan said Seat
tie police telephoned him Mon

Mocabee in Seattle. After veri-
flying he was an escaper from

Tribe FaVorS Constitutional
Change To Limit Enrolment

In time, after a few genera
tions, the total effect of the
amendment will be that only
members of one-fourth degree of
Blackfeet blood or more will be
eligible for enrolment.
The tribal enrolment figure
llovers around the 10000 mark,
about double that of the 1905,
due to considerable extent on
the enrolment of blood men,
bers regardless of the degree of
Blackfeet blood. Even a few
white men and women remain on
the rolls because of official
recognition of tribal adoptions
prior to ratification of the tribal
constitution. ~ Aa-,-. 10
Tribal voters rejected Amend
ment No. 4, one that would have
increased the authority of the
tribal council to purchase lands
within or adjacent to the reser-
vation boundaries, by vote of
837 to 802.
Presently, the council has au-
thority to purchase land main
ly under three eatergories; (a)
Lands of members who have
reached the age of 65 or over;
(b) Heirship lands as they eX-
listed in 1885; and (c) Lands of
members who have 10 intention
of returning to the reservation.
Reasons for rejection of the
amendment are not clear, in
view of the fact the tribal coun-
Gil, as well as the National Con-
gress of American Indians, has
asked the Secretary of the In
terror for a moratorium on sup
ervised land sales, a system de-
scribed. by Indian leaders as the
quickest way to separate the In
dian from his land.
Adoption of the amendment
would have enabled the tribal
council to compete in the bid
ding on lands under supervised
sales, for those lands not falling
within the above catergories.
A total of 1,767 ballots were
cast in this election.

Grain Growers
Seek To Establish
Wheat Commission

FORSYTH - Both major Mon.
tana political parties have been
asked to support the Montana
Grain Growers Association in its
campaign for a state wheat COM
mission, Larry F. Erpelding,
NIGGA president, reported We'd
nesday.
Erpelding said he contacted
the chairman of the Democratic
and Republican central commit
tees asking that their platform
committees adopt a plank on ag-
riculture in support of the Mon
tana Wheat Research and Mar
keting Act, which will be intro
duced in the 1868 State Legisla-
tive Assembly.
In urging bipartisan support
of the legislation, Erpelding not
ed, wheat is of extreme i'm
portance to the economy of Mon
tana. Our State is one of only
three in which wheat contributes
more than one of every three
agricultural dcllars North Da.
kota and Kansas are the others).
The wheat commission bill was
passed by a substantial margin
in the House during the last
Legislature, but then was killed
in the Senate when it became an
unrelated victim" of the
wrangle over the bill involving
the state hail board, Erpelding
said.
Erpelding told the party chair
men that wheat commissions al
ready are assisting the growers
i'm North and South Dakota, Col
orado, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, and "it
is imperative that Montana take
similar action to protect the in
terests of its nearly $4,000 grain
farmers.
