Charles E. Pew, Helena, one
of the men who organized The
Montana department of the
American Legion, and who wa:
it's first commander, resigned
this week.
Announcing his resignation after
membership of 43 years, to De
partment Adjutant Chester X. Shore
Pew said he was taking this steI
with deepest regret.
However, he said that the Lee

have as its objective the ham
stringing of a vital service main

Veterans of Foreign Wars, and
Disabled American Veterans, and
serving $4,000 to $4,000 claimants
from the last two wars" is a de-
parture from the original charac-
ter of the Legion which "was serv-
ice to the veteran"
Pew reminded Shore that when
the state Legion was organized in
1919 cit was buck-private organi-
cation designed to aid the returning
veterans We worked on the prin-
ciple that the first duty of a veter-
ans organization was to further the
interests of the soldiers of the Re-
public. regardless of their member

their highest duty was toward the
disabled veterans and the widows
and children of deceased veter-

Departure of state Legion leader

wrote Shore, made necessary his res

developed.
"The run of the river dams de-
veloped by private power companies"
Olsen pointed out, "have permitted
a great waste of water by failure to
corral the floodwaters. This is only
natural inasmuch as the private pow
er companies are organized for the

not eleemosynary institutions organ
lied to control the floodwaters, de-
velop recreation, or irrigation and
reclamation, or any of the other
benefits of a great river such as the
Clarks Fork of the Columbia River
or this Flathead River"
Continuing the presentation of his
prepared statement, the First Dis
trict Congressman told the subcom-
mittee:
Thus, it has been my philosophy,
together with that of most pepole
in my district, that we should COM
nit ourselves to the development of

Butte Bankers Could Lose
|nterest-Free $735, 900

The four banks in Butte are
faced with the possible with
drawal of $845,000 of State
money because of their refusal
to cash Silver Bow county's
registered warrants, if the sug-
gestions bro u g h t out at

meeting are carried through.
Only $4,000 of the States mon
ey is drawing interest as certificates
of deposit. The $735,OO0 balance is
an interest free perpetual loan from
the Treasurer's office.
For the past five months Silver
Bow has had to issue registered war
rants because of the general eco
nomic slump in the area. Five months
is long time for county officials to
maintain government without pay.
If banks throughout the State
can't see their way to extend cred
it to the county the State DEPOSIT
tory Board may be forced to with
draw the more than $40,0OO,0O0
from the banking brethren-half
of which is interest free.
The Land Board has another way
to supply Silver Bow with the quarter

"Your responsibility" he said,

Looking at the extremists from

that these people wrap themselves

secondarily, for the benefit of every

Aid Not Asked
ByvenezueIa
By the Associated Press

The government of Vene-
zuela asked no help from the
United States during last weeks
Communist sparked uprising
there, officials here said today.
They added that If such aid
had been asked, the United
States would have been ready
to carry out what they termed
its inter-American obligations.
Asked to explain that, one
official said:
"Of course, all this Is hy-
pothetical, but the obligations
Of a hemisphere nation to rem
der aid in certain cases, when
requested to do so by the gov
ernment concerned, is quite
well known"
He said such an obligation
certainly would" cover a sit
uation in which Communist
Cuba, for example. may have
sent military help to forces op-
posing the constitutional gov
ernment Of Venezuela.
The inquiry arose because of
unofficial reports from Caracas
that President Kennedy sent
private word to his recent host,
President Romulo Betancourt
of Venezuela, offering to send
United States ships or other
aid, if needed:
THAT report is not correct" /"
said a source close to the White
House.
There was no such offer
made. President Kennedy did
not intervene in any way what
soever."
