EAIJ1O
We don't know exactly why
it is, but somehow all Of these
year-end recapitulations turn
out to be terribly depressing.
Measured against unlimited
hopes and expectations, prog
ress at these moments Of ret
rospection seems desperately
slow. In terms Of the cold war,
the defeats seem to outweigh
the victories.
To cheer ourselves, we have
been trying a different ap-
proach. The game consists Of
looking at the year as one
looks through a Photographic
negative in which all blacks
appear white and everything
is reversed. How would we
stand at this point if all the
critical decisions had gone
the other way? And when the
coin was tossed it had come
up tails instead of heads?
How would it have gone
for instance, if Richard M.
Nixon instead of John F..
Kennedy had moved into the
White House a year. ago?
Certainly, as far as the world
as a whole Is concerned, the
expectations would have
been less and this might have
been a blessing.
Transition Problem
One doubts, however, that
the transition would have
been smoother or the basic
decisions sounder. The en-
ergy and the spirit of the
New Frontier would not have
stirred the country. There
would be no invasion of egg
heads in Washington, no
rocking chairs and, most
surely, no dancing the twist
in the White House.
Or what If the other big
stories Of the year had a diff
ferent ending? One might
congratulate ones self over
the successful invasion of
Cuba and the overthrow of
Fidel Castro. One might even
applaud the success Of a
handful Of Portuguese ad-
venturers in overthrowing
the dictatorship of Oliveira
Salazar, but what about Gen.
de Gaulle? If a bomb had
gone off under the generals
car or if the revolt of the
French generals had sue
ceeded last April, the record
of the year would have been
a very much Sorrier one for
the whole free world.

Number from the John Birchers.
This talk of democracy being a
weapon of demogoguery and a
perennial fraud is from Page 159
of Robert Welch's Blue Book, the
Bible of the Birch Society. WEIGH
is the man who said that President
Eisenhower was dedicated con-
scious agent of Communism. He
has attacked Milton Eisenhower,
Foster Dulles, President Harry
Truman, Chief Justice Warren, to
name but few of the many he
has sought to besmirch.
What are we Legionaires want
ing to do-ape the Russians? Birch
ers prattle about being against de-
mocracy as a perennial fraud but
being for Republic. Well, the USSR
is the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics! Birchers weep with fear of
a strong central government. Yet it
was Lenin who argued that under
Communism the central government
would wither and disappear. Is the
Montana Legion now wanting to pro-
mote Communist ideas and ideals?
Do we favor the Monolithic (dicta-
tori form of government that WEIGH
demands for the John Birch Society
(Blue Book. It's a pretty low blow
to us common run Legionaires when
the Legion's leaders stoop to follow
WEIGH and the Birchers, and to ape
Communist ideologies!

Members since the resolutions of jan

KeyserIing Urges Halt
In Railroad Mergers

WASHINGTON, D. ca ranking
economist has called for temporary
halt to railroad mergers, declaring
that a growing national economy will
need more, not less, rail transporta-
ton.
Leon H. Keyserling, former chair
man of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisors, warned on the
basis of year-long study that the
trend towards railroad mergers is
against the public interest. 1t is also,
he added, against the long-range m
terests of the industry itself.

study, termed the 102-page report

Clinch, who summarized the political

Young Democrats, he said, must
work as a liaison between the older

wheels and wasting time, Democrats
need to revitalize their program. use
their limited finances as effectively
as possible, strive to choose able

This is an academic obituary. DR.
Joseph Hashisaki, Associate PROBES
sor of Mathematics at Montana State
University, has passed from the Mon
tana scene. Never again will Mon,
tanans benefit from his life ano
teachings. What kind of a man was
he?
DR.. Joseph Hashisaki is a Nisei
His parents came from Japan. He
was born in Joliet, Montana, June 27
1917. He was very poor. He was edu-
Gated in the schools of Montana,
graduating with distinction from Jol-
let Grade School and then Joliet High
School. He worked his way through
Montana State University doing all
sorts of odd jobs: dishwasher, labor
er, ranch hand, etc.
He entered the u. S. Army in 1912
as a private and was discharged in
1916 as a first lieutenant. A loyal
American, looking and speaking Jap
anese, he served under General Doug
las MacArthur's command as a civil
ian during the postwar occupation
in Tokyo, Japan. He attended the
University of Chicago for a year
and then transferred to the Univer-
sity of Illinois. He received two .ad-
vanced degrees in mathematics from
the University of Illinois; the Master
of Arts in 1851 and the Doctor of
Philosophy in 1853. He specialized
in the fields of modern algebra and
topology.
DR.. Carl Mcfarland appointed DR..
Hashisaki assistant professor of
at Montana State Uni
versity in 1853. DR.. Hashisaki was
promoted to associate professor in
1856. He was granted tenure in 1859.
The very great maj ority' of stu
dents and professors will attest to
DR.. Hashisaki's great worth as a
human being and as a teacher. He
was a man of high integrity. He was
fair, objective, honest,
warm, helpful, and friendly. He was
dedicated to quality and excellence
rather than quantity and mediocrity.
He had just completed a book,
OF ARITHMETIC, and he
had worked on or helped others on
many scientific papers in his own
field as well as in other domains of
knowledge. He was a great teacher,
and an even greater human being.
He loved Montana. And by and large,
Montana loved him. Then why has
Dr.. Hashisaki passed from the Mon
ana scene?
Some are saying that he has COM
nitted the unforgiveable sin: he
AIRED too much. He cared for his
lima mater, Montana State Univer-
ity. He cared for mathematics. He
AIRED for students. He cared for his
olleagues. In short, he cared about
18th principles and people. And now
he impact of his life is lost to Mon
ana and it's children. Why? How?
An editorial in THE PEOPLES
TOICE of January 10, 1862, stated:

tally one powerful corporate interest
or all three, and together these forces
spell dynamite.
/ have discussed this editorial
(Which reappeared in the MSU Kali
MINI with several people, and they
all agreed that the, zone powerful
corporate interest or all three re-
ferred to the Montana Troika, at
whose apex stands the Anaconda Cop
per Company supported at the base
by the Montana Power Company at
one corner and the Oil Interests at
the other. 1t takes power to purge.
And these companies are powerful
they "spell dynamite.
Some people feel that a purge of
university professors actually started
in the spring of 1861, and that within
the pattern of provisions in the con-
tracts of professors, one can see the
of such purge
through salaries, promotions, and
tenure given. Others feel that the
custer of DR.. Paul Carter which oc-
Cured shortly thereafter was indica-
tive of the kind of people who are
being purged.
Several fine professors of mathe-
matics left Montana State University
before DR.. Hashisaki, and it can be
said with a high degree of conf
dence that more of the best profess
sors in the mathematics department
will leave soon after he is gone I'M
less drastic measures are taken to
retain them. Some may say that DR..
Hashisah left voluntarily because he
his position, and, therefore,
ne was not purged. DR.. Mcfarland
also left voluntarily; he resigned
his position, but many believe that
he was purged by the Montana Troi-
ka. Suicide, even when done in re-
spouse to unbearable pressure, is
voluntary, too. At least some people
feel that the machiavellian influence
of the Montana Troika can be so
and subtly utilized as to
make life within the state or an in
stitution so intolerable that one
purges ones self, voluntarily, so to
speak, by resigning or leaving the
state.
These may well be minority opin-
ions" and, as was recently reported
in the newspapers, the expression of
minority points of view in Montana
IS not looked upon with approval by
1T least some state authorities.
Those of us who knew and loved
DR.. Joseph Hashisaki should not
MOURN his departure too much or too
ong. Like all good men, he is being
IMPLY rewarded in his future aca-
lemic life. He is going to a higher
'lane of academic existence: to an
Institution that is building and is
n the rise. He moves from the lower
fSU academic level of associate pro-
essor to the higher academic level
f full professor. He moves from
fSU's lower academic level of little
administrative responsibility to the
igher academic level of chairman of
he department of mathematics. He
loves from the lower MSU academic
.vel of one of the lowest paid asso-
late professors at MSU to a much
igher salary appropriate to his abili-
es and his position. Montana's loss
their gain. A great and good man,
r. Joseph Hashisak, passes on to
better academic life. We wish him
lie success and happiness that he so
chilly deserves.

Laurel Legion Post
Condemns Actions
OF Executive Board


This community as a whole un.
doubtedly was startled in reading in
the press of several resolutions pro.
posed by the departmental executive
committee of the American Legion at
its mid-winter meeting in Helena.
Three of its proposals would: % re-
peal all legislation under the adjusted
agricultural act, (2) outlaw all CO.
operatives, 81 denunciate democ-
racy.
Local Legionaires have been more
startled; they have been chagrinned
and angered. This attitude was ex-
pressed in the passage of a resolution
unanimously of their disapproval of
the proposed resolutions, and publ
cizing of this opposition, and the in
tention of battle for their defeat.
These proposals, regardless of their
merit or demerit, are outside the
scope of the Legion program as de-
fined in its charters preamble and
other parts of that instrument and
the history of the Legion during its
life of some four decades. This great
and honored organization is a fra
ternity dedicated to the welfare of
those men and women who served
heir nation during World War and
II and the Korean conflict, to COM
nunity service and good citizenship.
It bars itself from politics, and par
Jicipation in controversial, social and
economic issues, wisely leaving these
% be decided in the arena of partisan
politics. Under this policy it has
sained in strength and has won public
and has avoided internal dis
ord, providing an atmosphere con-
,enial to all of many walks of life.
This Post feels the farmer is intel
igent enough and has sufficient high
landing with his fellow citizen to
vim his own freedom through the
'allot box and his own organization.
The Post resents the allegation
hat co-operatives are foreign and
lien to America and that they are
menace to our way of life. The
farmers Union Central Exchange is
he second largest taxpayer in School
District z and is an important vital
actor in the economic life of this
community. Not withstanding its tax
it recently in paid
urged the voters to
Import bond issue for new high |
chool. 1t is stated administrative |
nd operatively, by as fine group
f citizens as can be found any
here; they should not be labeled |
as un-American.
This Post vehemently resents the
Legation by anyone, more especially
nose with Legion connection, that "a
institutional republic is the best
orm of government yet devised by
ian and that democracy is weapon
f demagoguery and a perennial
raud." Our government is both
institutional republic and a democ-
acy. What form of government did
lincoln have in mind when he said
of the people, by the people and for
lie people?" Scholarly President
Tilson. college instructor, college
resident and the author of texts on
told the nation World
FAR / was being fought to make the

ffrage, the secret ballot and the
