Politics. 1t was, indeed a public ex-

ment among those not previously
dedicated to the man and so-called
conservatism, over the content of
the speech.
Some. like myself, attended, not
expecting to hear great deal with

about this much ballyhooed "rising
conservatism" only to leave with
what one person described as a def
milton of liberal now being banded
about by William Buckley in his

aspects of a State occasion, with the
Governor and the President of the
University on stage, and a press and
a visiting dignitaries' section. Visit

individual introduced besides those
on the platform. The Governor was
introduced in the context of his posi-
tion on the Board of Education
and Tor Board of Regents.

New Law Opens
Books Of
Suspected Firms

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
By an overwhelming majority, the
House voted to give the Justice De-
partment power to open business
mems books without subpoena OF
court order if the firm is suspected
of antitrust violations.
The bill passed the House 338 to
SO March 13 and now goes to a
House-Senate conference to iron out
differences between it and bill the
Senate passed last var.
Seeking new power to inspect docu-
ments, Attorney General Robert Ken
nedy said some firms fail to CO.
operate with the Justice Department.
For effective antitrust work, he said,
the Department must have reader
access to business records.
Under present law, the Depart
ment may only inspect public records
or get the firm to cooperate in build
ing civil antitrust suit. In criminal
cases, the department can use the
subpoena power of a grand jury.

Its Greatest Challenge" .
Education Must
Teach People to
Think Clearly

neutrality-suspicious. of Pub
lie instruction Harriet Miller, in an
address given at the dedication of
the new Shelby High School Sunday,
called for education geared to the
development of thinking individuals.
"A nation of people educated to
think clearly is nation which can
face with confidence the threats
to our way of life," Miss Miller
said.
Individuals are unlikely to be VIC
tins of propaganda if they have &C
quired the habits of critical thinking
which enable them to read and ana
lyze, to listen and criticize, and to
form for themselves logical and OBJ
jective conclusions" the State Su-
perintendent said.
Miss Miller listed apathy, lethargy,
foolish conformity and fuzzy think
ing as four of the greatest threats to
individual freedom.
"If we are apathetic about our re-
sponsibilities as citizens, if we are
lethargic when it comes to making
the effort required for difficult de-
cisions. if we value conformity more
than personal integrity, if we insist
on thinking with our emotions rather
than with our reason, then we are
positively threatening our own free
dom.
This is where education today
faces its greatest challenge, for
true education has as its goal the
development of individuals able to
think clearly, to choose wisely, and
to act respensibly in the face of
all the threats of today's world"
Miss Miller concluded.

Pleases Republicans
Modern Liberalism Condemned By CoIdwuter

"The lecture" that was sup
posed to inform us about Con
servatism in American Politics,
however, turned out to be sort of
game of SCRAMBLE in which
Goldwater took the word liberal.
threw it into the audience, called
it back, rearranged it, tossed it
around and came up with the
rather remarkable conclusion that
the real liberals are the con-
servatives.
Modern" liberals are fiendish
lot, if you accept the conclusions of
the Arizona Senator. They have taken
charity from the Bible and "gen-
eral welfare from the Constitution
and prostituted the PHILOSOPHERS.
Modern liberals hold a contempt
for tradition, would have us drink
the glitter nectar of collectivism" !;
want bigger government structure, a
controlled and regimented economy,
less freedom; they "sneer at pa
triotism". "mock at devotion to ira
1ition''. he proclaimed.

The sordid display of fanati-
cism in action came about dur
ing discussion of federal aid to
education. Mrs. Villa Dale Evans of
Lavina, a mother of several children,
speaking in favor of federal aid to
an audience which obviously had
many hostile to the proposal, asked
whats wrong with the federal gov
eminent? Are you more afraid of it
than you are of Russian -..
To the latter question, the dele
gates roared back "YES", according
to the GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
Since then there has developed a
difference of opinion on what per-
centage of the delegates proclaimed
their ear of their government.
Some say, only 20 to 80 of the 375
present. Others place the percentage

ers for election to any office they

the way Holmes, Boedecker and Smith
have failed to protect the public in
terest against the onslaughts of the
private utilities.
Herewith is Local 2581's letter to
Chairman Holmes:

March 27, 1862
Mr.. John Holmes, Chairman
Montana Railroad and Public
Service Commission
Helena, Montana
Dear SIR:
This is to inform you that at a
regular meeting of Local 1851 LSW,
held March Is, 1862, our business
representative, Mr.. William Shawl,
was instructed by motion to appear
in our behalf before the commission
as a protestant against the increase
in water rates proposed by Pacific
Power Company.
Further, he was also authorized to
censure the commissioners for some
of their past decisions, in any way
he felt proper.
We have been informed by Mr..
Shawl that you took offense at his
criticism and defended your action,
in the recent Montana Power Co. gas
rate case, by saying that the in
creases granted didn't effect Libby.
We reject this argument completely
on the ground that any disservice
done any group in Montana adversely
affects all people in the state.
Finally, we wish to reiterate our
position that this locals committee
on political education will never rec
ommend any of the present commits |
sioners for election to any office they |
may seek in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Paul S. Armstrong,
Recording Secretary.

ington. D. C. The most impartial are
of the opinion that possibly % pei
cent made up in noise what they
lacked in numbers.
Whatever the percentage, this
unreasoning display of mob psy-
chology taking over, did have a
SOLDERING effect; did bring home
/ to many uncommitted delegates
that there was a well-org anized
little group which was attempting
to harass and "blitzkreig" the
convention.
While the convention majority re-
affirmed MCPT's opposition to fed
eral aid to schools via an emergency
resolution, it was evident by other
actions taken that the ultra-rightists,
by their excuses on the Evans ques-
ton. had overplayed their hand.
BACK FOUNDATION PROGRAM
In 1861. Montana PTA had equivo-
Gated on the School Foundation Pro-
gram. This year, after the uproar
caused by the Evans question, COM
bination of Yellowstone conservatives
and the liberal delegate minority
joined together to put MCPT solidly
on record for the program and for
needed upward revision Of certain
facets of the 13-year-old program.
One observer expressed the. opin-
ion that Except for the more calm
and collected conservatives giving
strong support on the foundation pro-
gram the 1862 convention likely
would have gone on record for its
adjustment.
Another indication of the return
to sanity after the outburst came
when delegates voted in favor of in
creasing the income tax to secure
necessary funds for the schools; a
vote which caused withdrawal of a
sales tax resolution.
Still another instance-and one
which probably gave a reasonably
accurate headcount on rightwing
strength-was favorable action on
a resolution dealing with the need
for mental health education in the
schools.

mary through higher education levels.
Updating of the method of COM
putting enrollments in determining
state financial equalization was also
given convention approval. Presently
the average number belonging (ANB)
for the previous school year is the
basis for determining state assistance
in the current year. With enrellments
jumping each year, the present meth
cd creates major financial hard
ship on many districts. The legisla-
ture will be asked to base equaliza-
ton on the current ANB, rather than
the existing previous year average
number belonging.

Nome Precinct Republicans met at dinner-meeting Tuesday eve- ming in the Seaview Room and elected a precinct committeeman and committeewonan and 15 delegates and 15 alternates to the NV. District Republican conven- ton to be held in Nome on March I6.
 Mrs Wm. Cameron was chosen committeeman and Clinton Gray committeeman for two year terms. Myrtle Johnson and Vim. Cam eron were the outgoing officers.
 The guest speaker of the eve ming was Dick Milner of the Fair banks Young Republican organ ization. Miners address was in a Lincoln Day vein and he re- minded the group of many things which Abraham Lincoln, the great Republican President, said, and which are still true today. Quoting from Lincoln, Milner said:
 You cannot bring about pros perity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You can- not further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot establish sound secur- ity on borrowed money. You can not keep out of trouble by spend ing more than you earn. You can not build character and courage by taking mans initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. z This, said Milner is the Republican plat form.
 Milner returned to Fairbanks today after holding several meet ings with the Nome Young Re publican Club.
