THE POLITICAL MILL
A Strong Political Team
By GOULD LINCOLN

Politically, the Kennedy
Bailey operations on a ma
tional scale approach closely
those of the RooSevelt-Far-
ley combination during the
first term of the New Deal
President. President John F.
Kennedy and his Democratic
National Chairman, John M.
Bailey, have proved them
selves an able team, includ-
ing also the President' S
brother, Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy. Their
latest accomplishments in
the field of politics-during
the last week end-were the
nomination of Abraham A.
Ribicoff of Connecticut for
Senator and the appoint
ment of Mayor Anthony
Celebrezze of Cleveland,
Ohio, to succeed Mr.. Ribicoff
as Secretary of the Depart
ment of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Chairman Bailey, in addi-
ton to being national chair
man, is Democratic State
Chairman in Connecticut. 1t
was his job. with whatever
assistance he had from the
Kennedy administration, to
have the Democratic State
Convention nominate Mr..
Ribicoff, a former Congress-
man and Governor, for Sem
ator, at the same time pre-
venting Representative at =
large Frank Kowalski from
receiving 20 per cent of the
convention vote. Mr.. Bailey
put it across. The only thing
he failed to do was to per-
suade Mr.. Kowalski to &C
cept the nomination of the
convention for his office,
Concentrating.
Sees Boss Maneuver
Mr.. Kowalski, who had
been a candidate for the
senatorial nomination
m on his before Chairman
Bailey determined that it
was necessary to bring Mr..
Ribicoff back to Connecticut
to strengthen the Democratic
State ticket, now charges, as
he did throughout the pre-
convention campaign, that
the ,Ribicoff candidacy was a
maneuver of the bosses
in this case of the boss, A"
Mr.. Bailey, who for 16 years
has been State chairman.
Mr.. KowalSki, a retired
colonel of the United States
Army, is still saying Don't
count me out" He is not
m a king any statement at
this time regarding his fu-
ture plans. But he has sew
eral alternatives to tossing
in the towel. He might, for
example, decide to run as an
independent" for the Sen
ate, or he might run for his
present seat in the House,
either of which moves might
cause considerable trouble
for the Bailey Democratic
ticket.
AS he has insisted right
along, Mr.. Kowalski is in an
independent position. He has
many friends and supporters
in the State. He is of Polish
blood, and the Poles are a
big factor when it comes to
voting in necticut.

Regarding your recent ed
itorial, Farm Bill Blow" it
is agreed that the farm bill
was a step in the right di-
rection toward reducing the
present over-supply of Ger
tain favored farm commodi-
ties, but it did not go far
enough.
Due to congressional "ti-
midity," we have the spectacle
of a few favored crops being
singled out for support prices
over a period of II years.
These props have been way
above the world level and
when certain of them were
exported, a beneficent Fed
eral Government extended
exporters a generous export
subsidy so they could enter
the world markets. This has
been an additional drain on
the public treasury all these
years.
The membership Of the
California Grange has MAIN
tanned for years that one eff
fective manner of reducing
these unwieldy supplies
would be to set a definite
limit on the total amount
any one producer or corpo-
ration could receive in a cal
endar year in subsidy, loans,
or wherever these props are
designated. This would do
more than any one method
in reducing speculative plant
ing by many JohnnieS-come-
lately into agricultural pro-
duction during the past years.
Many cotton-growing outfits

Government and many of

- currently recrudescent -
seems to reflect the fact that
Katanga, formerly the finan-
cial mainstay of Belgian
colonial Congo, now part of
the free nation, quit paying
the government bills a cou-
pie of years ago.
Why?
Because in the free, post
colonial Congo, Katanga, the
governments financial main
stay, was denied its proper
influence. 1t appears to have
been denied its agreed rights.
1t was supposed to have
sovereign entity in a Con
federation of States" of the
newly freed Belgian Congo.
Understandable is the re-
luctance of the penniless
U. N. - and its financial
mainstay, the United States
to take over Katanga'S role of
supporting the Congo govern
ment.
But is it political realism
for the U. N. and the United
States to help Leopoldville
nibble away at Elisabethville,
as in these recent minuscule
armed assaults?
A sensible solution would
be support of Katanga's
Noise Tshombe in his logical
claim to control of his own
state in a Congolese Con-
federacy.
Even more sensible might
be recognition of the fact
that Katanga, as the only
reasonably we'll organized
and productive state in the
new nation. should become
its capital city and govern
mental center.

Child Brides Become COMMONPLACE
By THOMAS r. HENRY

American brides are getting
younger. More and more
teen-age girls are marrying
for the most part older
men.
This is building up some
thing of a population crisis
according to an analysis just
issued by the Population
Reference Bureau here.
There will be, says the
Bureaus report, approx
mately 100000 marriages
this year with two-fifths of
the brides, compared to an
eighth of the grooms, below
20. More than half the teen
age wives will have babies
while still in their teens. The
Bureaus study reveals that
while only three per cent of
the 1859 baby crop had teen
age fathers more than eight
per cent were born to teen
age mothers.
To-day" says DR.. Robert
c. Cook, president Of the
Bureau. more women marry
in their 18th year than in
any other, and more have
their first child in their 10Th
year than in any other. At
this rate the 38-year-old
grandmother soon will be
commonplace.
with mothers tending to
have their last baby before
they are 80, the time span
Of each generation is shorter
today than in days when
women bore children over a
longer period. One conse-
quence of this changing
pattern has been an accele-
ration in population growth.
Throwback to Early Days
"Paradoxically, our pattern
of marriage and parent
hood now is close to that
which prevailed in the early
years of the Nations history.
Early collaborating was a
practical necessity then, with
life expectancy at birth only
about 40 years. With life
expectancy now 10 years, the
desirability of having chill
dren early is less apparent.
THE current tendency to
speed lip the cycle of genera
lions often upsets the econ
omic and emotional stability
of the family. The process of
maturation and education of
the human being is an ex-
tremely long one. 1t is doubt
ful if youngsters just out of
school are ready to begin to
guide this all-important proc
ess for their own offspring"
Because of the increasing
youthful marriage tendency,
DR.. Cooks report points cut,
by 1859 more than SO per
cent of all teen-age wives
were mothers compared with
Al per cent in 1850. The per-

State convention, sought to
appease the Poles who have
supported Mr.. Kowalski by
having Bernard Grabowski,
a 39-year-old Bristol attor-
ney, nominated for Con-
greSSman-at-large.
Mr.. Bailey had no trouble
renominating Gov. John
De pSey, who took over
when Mr.. Ribicoff resigned
that office in January, 1861,
to accept appointment to the
Kennedy cabinet. But it was
to bolster Gov. Dempsey, not
regarded as a strong candi-
date, that Mr.. Ribicoff was
persuaded to run for Sena-
tor. Indeed, Notwithstanding
the strength of the Demo-
cratic organization just dis
played. Gov. Dempsey faces a
tough fight for election next
November. Under his admin
istration, taxes have been in
creased and he has not been
largely popular. The Demo-
cratic predictions are that
Mr.. Ribicoff will eeZe
through in the senatorial
election and carry the rest
of the ticket with him.
The Republicans have
nominated for Governor q
young and attractive candi-
date, John Alsop, an insur-
ance executive and brother
of Joseph and Stewart Alsop,
both widely known writer's.
For Senator, the Republicans
have picked Representative
Horace Seely Brown-after
Senator Prescott Bush de-
cided on account of health
not to seek denomination.
Mr.. Seely-Brown has been
an effective campaigner in
the past and much will de-
pend on how much of a split
shows up in the Democratic
ranks, and how effective the
boss issue" proves, in the
election of a Senator. If the
Republicans could put across
Mr.. AlSop and Mr.. Seely-
Brown, it would be a big
feather in their cap-or put
across either one of them.
Bid for Italian Vote
The selection of Mayor
Celebrezze has several an
giles. He is of Italian blood
indeed, he was born in Italy.
He has made an excellent
Mayor of Cleveland. His ap-
pointment to the cabinet of
the President may be expect
ed to please the many voters
of Italian blood, particularly
in Massachusetts,, New York,
Connecticut and other
States. 1t just happens that
the President has a young
brother, Ted Kennedy, who
will need the support of the
Italian vote, now reported to
be even larger than the Irish
vote in Massachusetts,, in his
race for Senator. 1t also
happens that the Kennedys
would like very much to see
Republican Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller knocked off in
New York when he runs next
November for reelection.
The selection of the Cleve-
land Mayor for the cabinet
may be regarded in some
quarters as an effort, also,
to boost the chances of Gov.
Mike Disable of Ohio for re-
election.

The chief duties of a university today
are teaching and research The reasons
for the latter function are threefold. First,
research keeps the professor up to date in
his field of specialization Second, research
trains graduate students working under
the research professor to learn the scien-
tific method and thereby develop the skills
necessary to increase our knowledge. With
out research program there can be

search hopes to uncover information that

tories of universities
Professors at Montana State University
have engaged in research activities for
many years. However, the researcher at
MSU today finds the conditions under
which he works very different from those
of twenty or thirty years ago.
In order to learn something of the his

Department. of Zoology. DR.. Browman came
to this campus in the late thirties and
found that research was not recognized
by the administration
1t was necessary to carry on research
activities in the evenings, during weekends,
and during vacation periods. That is, s'You
did research work on your time" Univer-
sity personnel carried full teaching load
plus routine committee and departmental
work without any time budgeted for re-
search work. During these years pro-
fessor even cared for the animals and
equipment used in his research, or hired
help from his own pocket. Later, under
National Youth Administration, student
help became available to university re-
searchers.
MORE TIME AVAILABLE
In the thirties, DR.. Browman pointed out,
the amount of time that professors had to
spend in contact with undergraduate stu
dents in the performance of their teaching
duties was much greater than it is today.
AS high as 81 hours of instruction per
week during this period left little time
for research activities. Today, with the
present student contact hours, there is
more time available for research, even

Advancement of Science, American Philo-
sophical Society, learned societies, some
industries, drug companies, and various
private foundations. Support came also
from the Montana State University Re-
search Council which, in the forties, had
a budget of ten thousand dollars per year
to be expended upon research here at MSU.
u. S. NOW PROVIDES MOST FUNDS
Since World War II the financial sup
port of research at universities has shifted
almost entirely to the federal government.
The two chief sources of support in the
sciences are the National Institutes of
Health and the National Science Founda-
ton. For the years 1961-62, $514,595 was
awarded to MSU to support the research
programs of the National Institutes Of
Health, the National Science Foundation,
and other federal government agencies.
In addition, ,891 was awarded by pri-
waite institutions for research here, and
$4,000 was provided from MSU funds for

seventy -eight research projects, supported
by separately budgeted funds, ranging
from studies of small business men in
