Facing Probe
Sloppy Procedure
Charges to Get
Congress Study
Ry WILLIAM GRIGG
by WILLIAM GklGS
Star Staff Writer

A congressional investigation
to see if the National Institutes
of Health is wasting money will
begin in the next few weeks
The House Subcommittee
on Intergovernmental Relations
plans the investigation because
NIH's control of research funds
is frankly regarded as sloppy
by some on Capitol Hill.
1t will be the eighth investi-
cation of Public Health Service
activities in a year. NH, al
Bethesda, Md, is the major
research arm of the Health
Service.
Hundreds of millions of dol.
lars are entrusted to the insti.
tute for medical research.
Deadlines Set in Two Cases
1t was also learned today that
the Department of Health
Education and Welfare has
been asked by the same SUBJ
committee to meet headlines in
the settling of two cases OF
alleged personnel abuse. The
subcommittee already has
studied these cases.
In one. it is claimed, a high.
grade civil service employe wa!
given an office" without ligh
or telephone to encourage
him to find a job elsewhere.
In the other, a member O
PHS' uniformed corps is salt
to have been stripped of hi
commission without explana
ton or hearing.
; The subcommittee in tn
past has dug up startling ex
amples of what it calls "slopp
management"
One was the use of million
appropriated for the purchas,
of polio vaccine. The subcom
mittee found PEIS paying 7!
to IS cents per cubic cent?.
meter of vaccine while the Ma.
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis paid only 80 to 81
cents for the same amount
(The foundations price was
intended to approximate cost
without any profit to the man.
ufacturerD
The subcommittee determined
that no one in the Public
Health Service had attempted
to discover the cost of manu-
featuring the vaccine before
1t was purchased.
Is Reforms Urged
Thirteen reforms were rec
commended as a result of the
earlier investigation.
The House subcommittee will
now ask PHS and NTH officials
to show that they have indeed
reformed procedures and tight
ened controls.
Sources also described "typi-
cal" cases being studied cur
rently by an investigation team
in the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Several cases involve high
grade personnel, including SCI
entists, who have gotten what
they consider bad deals from
their superiors-without ex-
PLANTATION.
One case, they said, involves
an executive of the Public
Health Service who is accused
by personnel under him of
engaging in psychological
sadism."
The employees say that a
person who makes a suggestion
or request gets "psychoan-
alyzed" by the executive. He
is alleged to have brought one
girl into his darkened office
and made her face a blank
wall to find out if she was
claustrophobic.
Another case involves a sci

Co. Radio Service
To Be Discussed AT
Meeting Tonight

A public meeting has been cal
led for this evening Thursday
TO be held in the Browning IL
brary at which time the county
radio service will again be dis
cussed.
According 20 Mayor Tcllefero,
the Board Of County Commission
ers has agreed to continue the
service. but will only reimburse
the town Of Browning ard city OF
Cut Bank at the rate of $4,000 a
month. With this small amount
of remuneration il will be pos
sible for the communities TO con-
tinue the operation, and in view
of the fact that public opinion
was almost unanimous in favor
Of the county supporting the ser
vice, the problem Of continuing
the operation Is as doubtful as
ever.
Everyone is invited to attend.

Court Upholds Suspension Of
County ASC Office Manager

Subsequent action on the part
Of the Montana Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
State Committee concerning the
July 6 firing of Glacier County
ASC office manager Witso III.
Rasmussen. by State ASC direc-
tor. Robert J. McKenna, is valid
and constitutes a suspension or
der, according TO Judge William
J. Jameson in an order filed in
Federal Court at Great Falls Fri
day.
Jameson granted a preliminary
injunction order enforcing the
suspension until the controversy
surrounding Rasmussen's tenure
in office is decided.
Rasmussen was appointed by
the elected Glacier County ASC
committee and served as county
office manager from April, 1857.
until July 6, 1862, when director
McKenna sent him a letter notify
ing him that the state committee
had suspended him from the posi-
ton.

City Water Supply
Contaminated By
Faulty System

Vernon d. Baker. M d., Medi-
cal Officer in Charge of the U. S.
Public Health Service Indian
Hospital, announces that recent
testings of the Browning water
supply by the State Board of
Health Laboratory show that the
city water supply is contaminat-
ed. To avoid the possibility of an
outbreak of dysentery, DR.. Bar
ker recommends that residents
boil their drinking water. With
the installation of a new chlorin-
ator it will be possible to main
tain a level of chlorine in the wat
er to insure its safety for drink
ing purposes but as this installa-
ton will not be completed for
several weeks, residents using
the city water supply are advised
to boil their drinking water for
the time being. incidentally,
boiled water If aerated by ladl-
ing or beating and then cooled
has a better taste.

Rasmussen refused TO relin.
quish the office and continued TO
hold il until July 10 when he was
removed by a temporary restrain
ing order issued by Federal
Court He contended the suspen-
sion order Of the state committee
was void because il was not made
as a result Of formal meeting
and that there was a failure to
comply with regulations.
Judge Jameson said 1t was his
opinion the suspension order, on
the basis Of that action, was inn
proper in that it failed to comply
with the letter or spirit of the re
gulations and that had no further
action had been taken by either
the county or state committee Il
would deny plaintiffs application
for preliminary injunction"
The state committee met July
10 and 20 and voted to confirm
the action taken July 8.
Jameson said he is not passing
on merits of the suspension or re-
moval. or on any other aspects of
the controversy between the ASC
committee and Robert J. McKen-
ma, director, on the one hand, and
the Glacier County Committee
and Rasmussen on the other.
Statements in a memorandum of
opinion accompanying his order
dealt solely, he said, with the
question Of the plaintiffs right
to a preliminary injunction.
The ordeal between Rasmussen
and director McKenna, both ap-
pointees, is but one aspect in a
huge controversy stemming from
farmers dissatisfaction with al

Leipheimer and Everin, en-
phasized to the Council that the
State was interested in a Coop
erative Agreement for the devel-
opment of the fishing potential
of the Blackfeet Reservation.
However" Leipheimer stated,
I'VE have a responsibility 10 the
people of the State of Montana
including members of the Black
feet Tribe to see that such agree
ments provide for access by
everyone to those waters which
the Commission assists in devel-
oping."
Both Evenin and Leipheimer
stated their opinion that the
Tribe should carefully consider
any tribal fishing fee. for the
Blackfeet Reservation I'VE are
all after the same thing" said
Leipheimer. 1--WE want TO en-
courage tourists to come 10 Mon
tana and to stay in Montana as
long as possible. The tourist in
dustry is one of Montana's lar
gest and we think is should be
cultivated and promoted"
Various members of the Tribal
Council expressed the view that
the Tribe should continue charg-
ing a fee for those persons wish
ing to fish within the boundaries
of the reservation as a means of
raising revenue to finance deve-
lopment of access and camping
areas and providing for game
wardens employed by the Tribe.
The Council also generally a.
greed that some form of coop
erative agreement is desirable IN
order that the Tribe may take adj
vantage of specialized services
offered by various State and
Federal agencies. At the close of
the meeting the Council, by re-
solution, referred the matter Of
development of fishing resources
of the reservation to its Recrea-
tional Committee for their con-
sideration and instructed them 10
bring back definite recommen-
dations as to an overall develop
ment Program and also as to a.
greements which may be enter
ed into by the Tribe and various
agencies for the experimentation
of such a program. 1t was agreed
also that this program should be
finally adopted by the Tribal
Council as soon as possible IN
order that streams and lakes may
be stocked for the coming season.

A MINUTE
WITH kl

We sat briefly on the meeting
between the Montana Fish and
Game Commission. the Tribal
Council. and bureau representa-
tiyes held Tuesday 1t which time
the reservation fish stocking pro-
gram ard license fees were dis
cussed. Purpose Of the meeting
was 10 reach some satisfactory
arrangement whereby the state
would again start stocking the
reservation waters with fish and
carry out their biological sur
yCys and tests. The question OF
jurisdiction was also a topic OF
discussion.
