Court Says Contract Valid, BUT -.
'EMCOE Must
Sue to Get Salary

Miss Frances Brown may
have problems figuring out
how she is going to pay her liv-
ing expenses this summer; she
may worry about why she was
dismissed from her summer
teaching position at Eastern
Montana College and what it
might do to her professional repu-
tation; she may worry about how she
can afford to implement an action
for damages and salary through what
the courts have decreed her "ade-
quate remedy at law, to compensate
for interference with her employ
ment. but whether the remedy at
Iaw'' seems quite adequate, or
seems to have included tempering
with Justice, may be beclouded by
the exigencies involved.
Miss Brown was a speech instructor
at Eastern Montana College. The dis
trict court has determined that she
has an existing contract with the
college to teach for the summer ses-
sion. When she instituted action to
be allowed to fulfill that contract,

cation.
The State Supreme Court (Adair
dissenting) concurred to the extent
that she has adequate remedy at

THE CASE
Miss Brown filed a complaint IN
the district court on June asking
for and was granted a restraining
order that would allow her to con-
tinue teaching.
A hearing was held on, June ID,
and on June 10 the district court
denied the injunction, which meant
that she could not continue at her
job.
She then appealed to the Supreme
Court, which upheld the district court.
Her complaint stated that she was
employed as speech instructor at
Eastern in September, 1861, with a
contract ending June 80, 1862, the
regular scheduled term. She was Of
fered summer employment by E. Lyle
Cooper, head of her division, orally

on November Ia, 1861, indicating her
tentative schedule for summer ses-
sions. 1t was again confirmed in a
memo dated January 26, 1862, in
which Mr.. Cooper stated Miss Browns

mer session.

torneys declined cross examination
of at least nine witnesses appearing
in opposition to the merger.
Opponents came from areas where
rail consolidation will cause serious
economic stress and communities are
''an apt sacrifice for the increase in
profits to immensely wealthy and
profitable railroad corporations" as
it was stated by Harold G. Crotty of
the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employees at hearings in st.
Paul in May.
The Railroad Companies continued

nesses for a day and half, and the
testimony followed the same line as
that in Helena. (See VOICE, June
15).
Shippers, unhappy with rail serv-
ice, disliking trucks, hoping for
freight costs relief, and having no
promises from the Railroads any of
these things would be improved, still
spoke out in behalf of the merger.
The witnesses in Billings knew no
more about whether they might right
fully expect better service from the
wealthy companies now, without con-
solidation, than they did in other
hearings. The effects of monopoly
did not worry pro-merger witnesses.

competitor or to any other railroad.

MFU Head Says
Lack Of Farm
Plan Can Be
Disastrous

Defeat of the Ellender-Cooley
farm legislation raises the prospect of
no farm program and possibly grim
future for Montana agriculture"
Leonard Kenfield, president of the
Montana Farmers Union, wrote the
Montana Congressional delegation
Tuesday. Opponents of the legisla-
ton apparently have no adequate al
tentative to Offer"
II respectfully recommend that eff
forts be made to enact fair and
workable farm bill that will provide
opportunity for our farm and ranch
families to earn a decent American
standard of living" Kenfield said.
''Under conditions of no federal
farm program the Montana econ
omy could lose upwards of $780,
100000 a year on a normal wheat
crop alone" Kenfield told the law
makers. Losses on other agricui-
tural products would ultimately
swell to depressing situation that
would blight rural areas of the
Treasure State. The swing to all
out production would only add to
farmer woes.
-Four independent studies includ-
ing those of Cornell and Iowa State
Universities show that with no farm
we are headed for SO per
cent drop in price of wheat by 1865
and % per cent cut in barley price.
The studies also clearly indicate that
cattle prices too would feel the blow
ACTION NEEDED
Kenfield emphasized that, "unless
better is offered re-enact-
ment of the 1862 wheat and feed
grain program is must if our farm
people are to hold their income from
dropping to disaster levels and if
they are to retain their equities in
their property. 1t is unthinkable to

gram of 1868 with it's costly surplus

steady blast of from three to
five minutes, and is designed
to advise Delawareans to tune
their radios to the CONELRAD
frequency (640 or l240) in the
event of an emergency.

MATS gIobal mission to air
lift men and equipment.
Dover's initial test In air
borne delivery resulted In an
exceptional 100 per cent del
livery performance to Fort
Campbell. In three days Dover
aircraft dropped 1888 para
troopers of the l0lst Airborne
Division stationed at Fort Cam
bell, all within the drop zone.
On the second days drop Dover
achieved a bulls eye accuracy,
having a circular error of only
go yards.
Dover had six aircraft making
IL drops each day In the ac-
cident free exercise. F Forty-two
Dover people qualified para
troop pilots.
Dover performance followed
rugged, but orderly, training
program. Flight examiners
from the 63rd Troop Carrier
Wing, Donaldson AFB, Sc,
arrived here to assist the base
in implementing the training.
The program began with
three-aircraft day formation
flying. This involved airplanes
taking off seconds apart, re-
ndezvousing in the air, flying in
formation, making a simulated
drop, peeling off on the approach
to the base and landing. This
multiplied to nine aircraft day
formation flying. Next, the pro-
gram shifted to night training
and followed the same pattern
of starting with three aircraft
and increasing to nine.
The practice resulted In 81
pilots -qualified4fen=da sforma-
tion flying and 62 fortnight for
nation flying. More will quail
ify as training continues.
The course flown on forma :
tion flights varies according to
the number of aircraft involved.
A three-aircraft flight follows
triangular course - from
Dover to a point over Delaware
Bay between Cape May. NJ,
and Cape Henlopen, Del, to
Georgetown and back to Dover.
Nine aircraft formation
flights follow an outline from
Dover to Sharptown, Md, to
Mardella Springs. Md, to Sal
isbury, Md, to Berlin, Md,
to George town and back to
Dover. In both instances
Georgetown is the simulated
drop area.
Crews avoid congested areas
when flying these low-level
flights which are navigated by
pilotage. The use of pilotage in
navigation refers to crews using
visual land sites, like rivers,
railroads or roads to guide their
aircraft. In actual practice this
primitive form of navigation is
used where radios are not avail
able for flight Instructions.
