Today the welcome mat is
out for Beethoven's Fidelio
and Westminster Records,
two whose paths happen to
have crossed on the come
back trail.
Westminster, reorganized
and healthy, is bent on pro-
ducing more records of the
caliber that made it one of
the most respected in the
business. Beethoven, unfor-
tunately, isn't around to see
how his only opera is catch
ing on again.
Whatever brought the rec
ord company and opera to-
gether was a happy coinci-
dence. They met in Munich a
few months ago. but it wasn't
as simple as that. 1t took
sharp planning to assemble
forces of this dimension.

fully toward the climax. He
is fortunate in having in the

in having an all-round

Aroused Gas Consumers

| made by Montana Power -
That, during the hearing Mon.
tana Power had contended they hac
to pay % cents per thousand cubic
feet of Canadian gas, but that they
"were negotiating with other south
ern Alberta gas producers about the
purchase of gas in quantities suffi-
cient to take care of Montana Power
needs" at a lower price. However,
since the hearings MPCo. "has broken
off such negotiations notwithstanding
the fact the gas is available at
a delivered price of approximately 1e
cents per mcf against the 23e per
mcf allowed by the (PSC) order"
This acting in bad faith by the
utility, the brief charges, Gin refus-
ing to seek the best price available"
was an arbitrary act by MPCo., and
did not take into consideration ''the
best interests of it's customers :"
A PSC statement that $54.16 of
each new $4,000 of revenue must
go for taxes, is, in protestants' opin-
ion. either false "on its face or
and admission by the commission
chat all the additional revenues
(under the rate order) are actually
additional profits, less the taxes"
A BUILT-IN 2O% RATE INCREASE
. One other extremely signifi-
can't contention by protestants'
counsel has to do with the cutting

The Canadian gas, the complaint
points out, has heat content rang
ng from 975 to 1000 .BTUs at a
certain temperature and pressure.
However, say the plaintiffs, the COM
mission does not require this COM
,any to supply its users with the
anne quality of gas, and that it
MPCo.) may supply the users with
as which has a heat content of only
90 BTUs." This, ''in effect, is an
utomatic increase to the company
f up to 20 per cent, and con-
titutes (still another) deprival of
of the consumers with
ut due process of law; that there

Colorado Transmission Giveaway
UdaII's Claim OF Savings
Shows Vivid Imagination

Observation-Disclosures
Interior Secretary Udall's claim
of savings from a transmission
partnership with power com.
panies in the Colorado River
Storage Project was sharply
challenged here early this
month.
The National Rural Electric CO.
operative Association, after analyz-
ing the companies letters of i'm
tent, said UdalPs claim of SIT mill
lion savings was little more than
ungrounded speculation.
Charles A. Robinson, Jr., staff en-
gineer and staff counsel for NRECA,
said the letters of intent were vague
ly worded. 1t was impossible to tell
from the letters, he said, how long
the contracts would run, how much
power would be lost in transmission,
how much the wheeling charges would
be.
Robinson also noted that the claim
of SIT million was only As per cent
of the total revenue expected from
the project over the payout period
of 80 years.
Eighty year forecasts are simply
not accurate to within As per cent"
Robinson said "a shift of system
losses or higher wheeling costs in
later years could easily wipe out
4.5 per cent margin"
The engineer also pointed out that
four of the five letters of intent con-
tain no definite term for the con-
tracts. Further, the fifth letter pro-
poses a term of 20 or % years, less
than a third of the period covered
by Udall's claim.
"This indefinite language as to
term of the contracts strongly sug-
gests that the power companies are
planning to leave the door open
for renegotiation during the life
of the project" Robinson said.
AS NRECA was releasing its analy-
sis, Udall himself was saying he ex-
pected to have firm drafts of con-
tracts with the power companies by
May 81.
He repeated his earlier prediction
that the partnership agreement would

has been a county attorney and has

for over 20 years. Bennett, former
Glasgow city attorney, recently re-
signed as Assistant Solicitor of the
U. S. Department of Interior in order

The other three aspirants for No.

CONTRARY TO UNIFORM
ACCOUNTS SYSTEM

A third objection centers On
the rate commission allowing the
utility to include in its rate base
Glands not used and useful, namely
leases upon which no royalty was be-
ing paid, and upon which there was
no production, that these properties
were allowed in the rate base con-
trary to the provisions of Sec. 70-106,
ROM 1947, and of the Uniform Sys-
tenn of Accounts by which Montana
Power must keep its books !" This
inclusion further initiates the rate
base and is unreasonable and un-
just" and takes from consumers
"their property in the form of rate
payments without due process of
law"
A fourth contention is that the
commission authorized "the inclu-
sion of some Sc, 1000 worth of
lands in the Pakowki Lake region
(of Canada)" which have not been
paid for, and that until such time
as the six million dollars is paid

VI HEX SPEAKERS
Other guest speakers before the
joint meeting of the Brotherhoods III
cluded Ralph Cook, secretary-treasur-
er of Montana Farmers Union, and
James S. TIMBER, president of Mon
tana State AFL-CIO. Cook spoke of
the historic support of labor by the
Farmers Union and recalled resolu-
tions out of their 1861 convention
opposing railroad merger. Common
problems of both farmers and labor,
Cook said, include a tax program
based on ability to pay and the ne ed
for task force to study land reform
in this country.
TIMBER said the railroads were at
tempting to merge for one reason
and that was Ito skim off the cream
from the transportation industry and
the public be damned" profits are
the only thing they can understand"
he said. He predicted if merger comes
to Montana, small business, the crafts
and trades are all going to suffer-.

ONE DEMO LEADER
NOT BEGUILED
But Clyde T. Ellis, general mana
ger for NRECA, was not persuaded.
In letter to Governor Gaylord Mel
son of Wisconsin, Ellis agreed with
Nelson that the partnership in the
storage project was a giveaway.
"You alone of all the public Off
Gals in the United States have said
exactly what / think to be the case
with reference to the Colorado lines"
Ellis wrote.
"Unless the real friends in the
Kennedy Administration speak out
against such travesties upon JUS
tice as this" Ellis continued, "Then
the Kennedy Administration will
fail without knowing why 1t
failed"
Earlier in the letter, Ellis COM
pared the Udall decision with hypo-
thetical decision by an REA admin
He wrote:
"This was as if we had worked for
years to get the original loan for
generation and transmission cooper
alive and at the last minute, the REA
Administrator had said, T'm sorry,
boys, l have secretly and without
your presence negotiated with the
power companies to serve you instead

1861 FALSE ECONOMY WILL
HARASS 1868 SESSION

LESS than years operation under
the budget of the 1861 Republican
| House has shown clearly that the
1862 Legislature not only will have
to restore all of the money cut from
the budgets of the educational and
custodial institutions, but will have
to greatly increase the appropriations
for them to make up for deferred
maintenance of plant and facilities
occasioned by the cuts made by the
1861 Legislature. These increases in
appropriation will have to be made
by the next Legislature whether the
House is Democratic or Republican.
"The real reason why the four and
a half million dollar deficit is being
wiped out is that the 1859 Democratic
Legislature revised the income and
corporation license taxes. The Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature accepted their
responsibility to provide support for
the school foundation program, to
meet the need for the custodial in
stitutions and to do those things de-
manded by the people of the State
Of Montana of its government.
"The records of the Montana Leg
islative Council show that the total |
state income for the 1889 fiscal
year was $31, 100, 660.51. The change
in tax schedules made by the 1859
session became only partially effec-
