Democratic leaders were busy
today trying to work out with
the Republicans a bipartisan
statement of policy on Cuba
that could be put through Con-
greSs quickly.
After their weekly conference
with President Kennedy, the
Democratic floor managers all
said they would prefer to have
the Cuban declaration handled
separately from the military
reserve Gallup resolution, which
they hope to pass in the Senate
this afternoon.
Senate Democratic Whip
Humphrey intimated, however,
that a last-minute decision
might be made to tie the two
together if satisfactory lam
guage can be worked out.
The leaders also predicted
the President would have a
statement on Cuba at his press
conference this evening.
Amendments Offered
The Republicans precipitated
the move for a Cuban declara-
ton by offering several amend
ments to the resolution asked
by the President to give him
standby authority to call up
$50, 900 reservists if that should
become necessary while Con-
gress is in recess.
Most of the Republican
amendments are intended to
reaffirm the Monroe Doctrine
and imply that the President
should do something to carry
it out.
The Democrats say no one
would disagree with the Repub-
hcan objective, but they ques-
ton the wisdom of making the
reserve Gallup appear to be
prompted directly by the Cuban
situation rather than the ten
sion existing at several world
trouble spots.
When the Senate met today,
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, author of one OF
the amendments to reaffirm
the Monroe Doctrine, disavowed
any political motive.
Senator Bush said some
Democrats have implied that
the Republicans had a political
purpose in mind, but he in
sisted his only desire is to
proclaim the fact that the
Monroe Doctrine is not dead
and that this country will take
whatever steps may be necesi
sary to preserve it.
Russell Emphatic
Chairman Russell, Of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. was especially emphatic
in frowning on the idea of tying
a Cuban declaration to the
reserve Gallup.
"I don't like the idea of the
Monroe Doctrine being kept in
cold storage" said Senator
Russell.
1T would be a mistake to tie
that question to this resolu-
ton, because it would create
the impression that we need to
call up 10000 men to protect
the United States against
Cuba"
Senator Russell emphasized
that the Presidents request for
a reserve Gallup was not
prompted by the Cuban situa-
ton alone.
The Bush amendment would
have Congress express its be-
lief that the continued domi.
nation of Cuba by internation-
al com munism jeopardizes
peace in this hemisphere. It
also would reassert that the
United States, under the Mon
roe Doctrine, has the right and
obligation to take all necessary
actions to end such domina-
ton. either with or without the
cooperation of other LATIN
American countries.
In addition to this Senator
Miller, Republican of Iowa,
has offered an amendment to
authorize and direct the Presi-
dent to take such action as is
necessary to prevent any vio-
lation of the Monroe Doctrine.

State Badly Needs

Mike Kennedy, director of the
Historical Museum; Attorney
General Forrest Anderson, Sec
rotary of State Frank Murray,
State Examiner Albert Leu
thold, State Controller Walter
Anderson, and State Auditor
Elmer OmhOlt.
AS the committee is now described
in law its chief function is the de-
struction of obsolete records. An
other function is permitting other
records to be preserved on microfilm.
At present the microfilming is al
most at standstill because the cost
must come from the privately do
mated subscriptions to the Historical
Society.
Montana has had a faltering effort
TO conserve us RECORDS on Him since
1911. A perpetual mine of reorgani-
cation attempts, little Hoover Com
missions and Legislative Council
schemes have been attempting to
solve the dilemma of the ever expand
ing file cabinets and storage spaces
which overflow into the operating
space in government buildings.
The problem of records is little
more serious than just the waste
of tax dollars involved. Time and
again the different committees as
semble at the Capitol and start in
from scratch to fall into the errors
of preceding groups simply be-
cause they are unaware that work

be indexed down to SO. Many coun-
ties may be assessing that same land
at IL dollars or more at present. To
index improvements downward by the
same percentage, the appraised value
would be reduced by 400 before the
400 assessment percentage was ap-
piled.

ing 248o to your full values and
see how your assessments would
compare with those you now use.
Can your county, by using "a %,
survive financially under the pres
emit 20 mill general fund limit?"
The great hope that was placed in
the statewide Redistribution and re-
valuation program ordered by the
1857 Legislature has been dashed
upon the arbitrary and futile rocks
of the tax-collecting mind and it's
stockgrower orientation.
1t has been felt for a long time
by authorities in the property tax
field that the only method that will
achieve real equalization is to place
mill levies directly upon the true
cash value, or the constitutionally
required "full and true'' value.
Babcocks' platitudes will not solve
the long-standing deviation from this
initial intention of the Constitution
of the state and the intent of numer-
Gus statutes.
The placing of the levies upon the
true cash value would avoid economic
of the owners and cut out
a lot of petty CRAFTY politics that
con be we'll done without.
The courts and Legislature should
get busy and demonstrate their abil-
ity to curb arbitrary percentage adj
justments because the present adj
yielding to major eco
nomic pressure groups can only lead
to real bankruptcy for the state.
The Assessors and the Board Of
Equalization-the tax collectors
have a great wealth of popular sup
port that is not being utilized. The

5 Key Points In
Meeting Arguments
OF Coop Opponents

BERKELEY, Calif.-(CNS)- 1.-The
taxes co-ops pay are "not an academ-
ic issue on Capitol HIP and leach CO.
OPP must face it squarely at home"
if it's to preserve it's public image
and operation, coop finance expert
declares in the current issue of CALL
FORNIA COOP LEADERSHIP.
George Yasukochi, controller of
the O,O0O-member Consumers Co.
operative here, advises members to
"discuss the objections of would-be
detractors with clarity and persua-
sion.' He suggests they emphasize
these points:
Consumer co-ops "enjoy no tax
advantage under federal tax laws"
"Any profit-motivated bust
ness can contract with it's custo-
mers to return all or part of its
earnings in proportion to their
purchases and exclude these re-
funds from its taxable income.
Refunds reduce the price of
goods a person consumes. They
don't create income for the con-
sumner.
A co-op's refunds wouldn't
necessarily be taxable earnings for
its competitors if the coop weren't
there.
Consumers really pay any COR
poration'sa taxes when they buy its
goods.

RECALLS IMPORTANT MOVE
DURING BONNER REGIME

To illustrate this loss, take the
example of when during Gov. John
Bonner's administration he appointed
an administrative committee to make
recommendation as to the DISPOSE
ton of the surplus. 1t is recorded in
the Depository Board records that
the committee report was given and
as result $10,000,000 was invested.
The report of the committee and it's
reasoning is lost but it could stand
the good service now that the sur
plus has reached S4O.O0O.0O0.
If the people employed by the state
could get the idea that they are max
ing history instead of lot of "hoo-
raw by having an archives Lewiston
to clean out their old records and
have at fingertips, data to back up
their efforts in social progress, the
money taken by the state would be
more effective in enhancing our lives.
Archives work is not in conflict
with any political view nor is it of
any historical significance. 1t is only
the memory element of any office
process.
If the archives approach were
used by the state number of prob
lens of our government would be
served. No longer would the myriad

process which is not available to the
Governor nor any legislative or judi
cial process.
A great number of administrative
decisions that are turning points
which have little or no histori-
cal significance but yet are es-
sential to the we'll being of Montana
and the political progress of the peo-
pie within her borders are lost simply
because we do not have an archives

One resolution protested to Secre-

permission granted to Montana Power
to tap into the Bureau of Reclama-
tons Fort Peck-Great Falls high
voltage line with a substation west
of Glasgow, while at the same time
a point of delivery off that line near
Malta for Big Flat Electric Coop
is denied. The resolution pointed out
that MPCo. gets the use of that trans
mission line for power wheeling for
one mill per kilowatt hour for the
$50 miles distance, yet at the same
time and because there is no SUBJ
station near Malta, forces Big Flat
to pay it one mill for each SO miles
