Presidents Edict
On Housing Seen
Possible Soon
Bv the Associated Press

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy said today a White
House order banning racial
discrimination in federally fl
nanced housing is very pos
sible" this year.
Civil rights advocates have
been pressing for issuance Of
sch an order. President Ken
nedy, campaigning in 1860,
criticized the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's failure to end
housing discrimination "by the
stroke of a pen"
Asked in an interview
whether the President plans to
issue such an order before No
vember, which some POLITICAL
observers say would be helpful
to Democratic candidates ir
the congressional elections. the
Attorney General replied:
There's no time set for it
| I know that the President is
giving it consideration.
IT think it's very possible
that it will come before the
first of the year."

Star Staff Writer

The Teamsters are going all
out to try to kill a Senate
passed measure aimed at pro-
| tecting witnesses during the
early stages of investigation of
Federal crimes.
The periodic appearance of
the bill on the House calendar
has been enough to precipitate
/ a flood of kilograms to mem
bers of Congress.
Several of the Transfers Of
ficials who have signed tele-
/ grams to Congressman urging
them to oppose the bill or any
substitute motions are current
ly under indictment themselves
on charges of violating Federal
laws.
One of the signers was
Anthony Provenzano, who iden-
titled himself as president OF
the Teamsters Joint Council
No. 70 and is now awaiting trial
on charges Of receiving pay
ments from a trucking COM
pany in violation of the Hobbs
Act.
Another signer was Joseph
Pecora, secretary-treasurer of
a New Jersey local, who is cur
rently under Indictment on
charges of accepting money
from an employer in violation
of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Some Get HaIf-DOzen Wires
The kilograms we're reported
received by congressman from
coast-to-coaSt. Some have re.
ceived only one or two tele-
grams but others have haC
half-a-do signed by officer;
ranging from local bushes,
agents to International vice
presidents.

Democrat of New Jersey, go

a far greater danger to the
rights of our citizens from
what the Transfers leadership
is pulling than from anything
in this bill. 1t sounds mighty
hollow, coming from the Team
sters' leadership to be worried
about the individual rights of
citizens"
Representative Glenn Miller,
Democrat of California, said he
had gotten a letter from a
Teamsters business agent in his
district and had also been but
tonholed by a Transfers lobby
lst as he was leaving the House
chamber.
Objects to Murder Provision
Representative Reuss, Demo-
crat of Wisconsin, got six tele-
grams from Transfers locals
opposing the bill although he
reported that the Teamsters
regularly oppose him at cleo
ton time. Mr.. Reuss said it had
been his feeling anyhow, that
the bill was an unwarranted
extension of Federal criminal
law. He objected particularly
to including murder among the
crimes coming under the pro-
posed measure.
Asked for comment on this
objection, a Justice official said
the bill would only apply to
murder in connection with a
Federal crime-Such as the
killing of a Federal agent.
For Protection of Witnesses
The obstruction of justice
measure as it passed the Senate

agents Of the FBI, Bureau Of
Narcotics and Internal Revenue
Service and specified that the
measure should apply to the
investigation Of nine Federal
crimes.
Before the bill left the full
committee, however, an amend
ment was tackled on that has
kept the measure in con-
troversy. The amendment would
make the protection Of wit
nesses apply only to investiga-
tons of Federal criminal ac-
tivity "in or affecting inter
state or foreign commerce.

investigation when 1t Is so i'm
portant that our investigators
get statements from witnesses
who are free and not subject To
intimidation or coercion.
On the House side, a House
Judiciary subcommittee re-
ported out the measure with
an amendment extending it to
Investigations by any Federal
agency. The full committee
thought it was too broad and
tabled it.
Thereafter. a new bill was
approved by the full committee
which limited the coverage to

the rail brotherhoods from honorine
them.
Last week Huppe won an order
which translated from legalese might
say, "By Jove! We think you've got
something there. Let's have the lower
court give us their version of what's
going on"
R. Lewis Brown, Anaconda Co. law
yer, responded for the lower court
by offering two suggestions rather
than throwing the injunction out.
First to have a hearing of sorts in
McClernan's court to hear what
Huppe had told them about the NLRB
several times already. The other was
that the NLRB could just very well
go to federal court and get an in
junction against the whole cotton
pickin' State of Montana if they
thought that the lower and upper
courts were officiously meddling in
the area of work in which NLRB is
supposed to function.
And so the four judges on the
bench were handed the Butte hot
potato. ((Stanley Doyle is on hand
shaking tours to try to retain the
seat he was appointed toy. The judges
on the high bench do a rather remark
able thing when it comes to writing.
One of them will write up the courts
report and the others will agree by
signing it or write a dissent if some
of them don't agree. Reporters would
never come to agreement if they had
to do the work of the Justices and
five opinions would come out for
every case. You could believe any one
of them you wanted.
One thing hung in my mind though,
all the facts and points don't add up
to what I call principle of law.
The right to face your accusers
should be extended even to Judge Nc
Clernan. Brown was in the Supreme
Court by custom rather than as a
requested defender of the lower court
whose instrument injunction
was in jeopardy.
The lower court can issue an in
junction as frequently as it wishes
but should be very interesting if the
people studying the points of law
become concerned about one of them.

Economy No Issue In
Defense Appropriations

When it comes to military pro-
grams, economy goes out the win
dow. That was demonstrated again
recently when the House passed a
$48.1 billion Defense Department ap-
preparation bill-$229 million more
than even the increased sum Presi-
dent Kennedy asked for.
Most of the additional money voted
by the House is to maintain the Ma
tional Guard and Reserve forces at
100000 men, despite Defense Secre-
tary Robert S. McNamara's insist
ence that fewer are needed in an era
of nuclear weapons; also to push the
RHO bomber plane program faster
than the Defense Department says it
can be done without waste of money
and scientific and engineering man
power.

Louisiana Bars


Louisiana has become the eighth
state to restrict the use of profess
sional strikebreakers.
The new state law prohibits third
parties to a labor dispute from sup
plying or offering to supply replace
ments for striking or locked out en-
ployees. Maximum penalty for viola
ton is one year in prison and a
$1,000 fine.
Similar laws have already been
passed in Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, Washington and Michigan.
State legislation prohibiting the
importation of strikebreakers has
been a major goal of the printing
industry unions. Strikebreaker re-
cruiting agencies have been widely
used by the industry.-IUD BULLE-

GAO REPORTS ON
SUBMARGINAL LANDS

The General Accounting Office re-
ported to the Senate and House In
teriors Committees this week that
'.there is little evidence to show that
the transfer of submarginal land
would be of any appreciable aid in
consolidating tribal land or in provid-
ing homesites for individual mem
bers."
Land studies by GAO included 49,
500 acres intermingled on the Fort
Peck Reservation, $3.50 on the Fort
Bellnap and 9,037 on the Blackfeet
Reservations.
Highlights of the GAO review in
clude these points:
"Inasmuch as most of the tribes
have not developed plans for use of
the submarginal land in manner
that would be beneficial to its MEM
bers. there is little evidence to show
that the submarginal land would be
better utilized if it is placed in tribal
ownership Seventeen of the Is

mented the Montana-Dakota Utilities

gram for development of power from

~ only WISH" Metcalf wrote MDU
President Cecil w. Smith, "that Mon
tana's other major private power
company displayed as much initiative
| in development of steam power for
consumers and jobs for coal miners. I"
President Smith wrote the Senator
last week, expressing particular in
terest in the July FL WASHINGTON
NOTEBOOK reference to Senator
Metcalf's suggestion that electric
power could be most efficiently de-
veloped by Harvesting falling water
in the western part of the State and
"by using our abundant coal to fire
steam plants in the east" montana
has 13 per cent of the nations coal
reserves, including 80 per cent of
the nations supply of subbituminous
and almost 20 per cent of the ma
tons supply of Ignite. Major coal
fields are east of the divide.)
Montana-Dakota Utilities Com
pany has been using Ignite coal as
fuel in it's steam generating plants
for the past 35 years." Smith wrote
Metcalf {. The steam turbine in
the Sidney plant is capable of gen.
Grating $4,000 kilowatts and at the
time it began operation was equal
to thirds of the generating capac-
ity then installed at the Fort Peck
Dam The Sidney plant furnishes
power for all of the area served by
Montana-Dakota Utilities Company in
eastern Montana and in portions of
northwestern North Dakota. 1t is also
connected to the Bureau of Reclama-
ton transmission system and under
the contract which our company has
with the Bureau of Reclamation is |
available for emergency standby serv-
ice to the Bureau and it's customers"
Commenting on the contrast be-
tween the two major private utilities
which serve his state, Metcalf said:
Thousands of dollars which could
be spent on developing the coal re-
serves at Colstrip and elsewhere in
eastern Montana are instead being
spent by the Montana Power Com
pany in its futile attempt to stop the
logical development of additional n.y.
capacity at the Knowles

that might be called social curiosity

everything that doesn't interfere with
my lazy disposition. However it seems
that | am being drawn more and more
into the Supreme Court chambers on
my daily rounds of the Capitol.
This is the place where the gentle
men of the cloth discuss the points
of law. Most of the time I avoid the
place like plague because, while it
may seem of vital Importance to the
people involved in case, it is usually
a very dull and dry interlude in which
everybody is happy when the attend

was told that Mr.. Charles V. Huppe
was going to appear before the Court
it best to put on my tie and listen
to Chuck because / had never heard
him in action before and it would be
a chance for me to learn something.
Monday of this week was the third
time have heard him speak on the
same subject-the Transfers strike
in Butte.
A picket tries to have an economic
effect on his employer so that he will
settle at the bargaining table. He
can't do violent things or stop any
body doing anything they want ex-
cept violate his person.
The Anaconda Co. lawyers had con-
WINGED Judge John B. McClernan that |
August 1 he should stop the picketing
because the railroad brotherhoods |
were honoring the picket lines and
with the mines and pit shut down |
economic losses would be felt.
Economic matters are matters that |
people must sweat out and hardly a |
point of law that either the state or
federal courts can settle.
In fact the National Labor Rela-
tions Board was set up to see that
both labor and management sweat
these economic differences out under
the Taft-Hartley law.
McClernan's district court like the
other Clover" courts are supposed to
develop the facts of law while the
high court only speaks of the points
of law.

sides were in combat instead of just

had net worths in excess of million
dollars and A had net worths ranging
from 100000 to $4,000. Because
some tribes having substantial re-
sources are engaged in land-purchas-
ing programs, the committee may
wish to consider whether those tribes
have adequate resources to purchase
any submarginal land they may re-
quire. Five Tribes have received fl
nancial settlements from the govern
ment for dam and reservoir land tax
ing or for awards by the Indian
Claims Commission during the last 10
years: six tribes have substantial
claims pending before the Indian
| Claims Commission If the sub
marginal land is to be conveyed to
the tribes we believe that trans
fer in fee title would serve to better
prepare the tribes for eventual with
drawal of federal supervision because
tribes would gain experience in man
aging their own affairs and also
would be required to bear related
civic obligations and responsibilities
such as the assumption of local real
estate taxes"
Senators Mansfield and Metcalf
have sponsored legislation which
would give the Montana tribes trust
title to the submarginal lands in their
areas. The Senators legislation, based
on agreements reached by Indian,
Roosevelt County, Wolf Point and
Poplar officials, would give Roose-
welt County 25 per cent of the ST.
363,4OO t IN at has accumulated,
through the years, from mineral
royalties on Fort Peck submarginal
lands. The other rs per cent would
go to the tribe, half for industrial
development on or near the reserva-
ton and the other for low-cost rental
housing for tribal members.
