I wish to take issue with the
editorial appearing in the May
10 edition of your paper en-
titled, Welcome Interven-
ton"
1t is not a welcome develop
ment for the American Civil
Liberties Union to stick its
nose in something which does
not concern them. This group
is famous for stirring up trou-
bic and crusading for Grimm.
ais and undesirables, but never
concerning themselves with
the victims. The majority of
decent, law.abiding, patriotic
citizens of Mont. County are
capable of seeing that justice
is done and we do. We do not
want our county to become a
second Wash, DC, where it
is unsafe to be on the streets
at mite and sometimes during
the day in certain areas.
Anyone who commits rape
and if it is proven, regardless
of race, they should receive
the death penalty.
In some cases where the
rape is brutal and sadistic it
might be a good idea if the
law allowed for the attacker
to be drawn and quartered as
a deterrent to potential rapers
and assaulters. If the naive
and do-gooders have their way
not only the county but the
whole country will return to a
savage state.
1t is persons like yourselves
who come to a peaceful, law
abiding community and stir up
trouble with editorials such as
the aforementioned, defending
savage beasts who should not
even be called human beings.
How would you feel If it
were your daughter who had

system whereby one obtains
registration and license tags
for motor and other vehicles.
My experiences with the De-
partment of Motor Vehicles
and their agents have left me
gunshy. 1 have had very little
cooperation or reliable infor-
nation from officials entrust-
ed with distribution of the
necessary forms. l have spent
weeks-literally- in securing
tags, because of forms mailed
and returned as incorrect"
Obeying Maryland law in re-
spect to use of a motor vehicle
becomes a chore, when it
should be simple, responsible
exchange between the individ-
ual and the agency.
/ was recently advised by a
person experienced in these
matters to cart my application
forms off to a company that
deals in expedient handling of
same. And / shall, but only
under protest. l cannot see
why l. a reasonably intelli-
gent person and one who is
happy to comply with local
regulations should have to
pay even the paltry sum Of
$1.00 for successful compile
ton of this process, when / am
helping to support a state
agency for this very purpose!
I would appreciate your
comments on this subject. I
would be encouraged, indeed,
to learn that my experiences
have not been shared by the
majority of Maryland citizens.
(But the very existence of this
title company" appears symp-
tomato to me of a condition
that should be corrected.)

In their truly fantastic job of

the rails promise anything?

Did the GIN attorney suggest you
modify the resolution, he was asked.
Robinson said they did not.
1t was pointed out that testimony
already in the hearing record shows
passenger service already lost will
not be recovered as result of merg-
er.
In view of that what would be the
consensus of the Malta Chamber?
''We assume if the railroads are
strong financially they could take
care of equipment and give us bet

Is there any Indication the GIN is

I wash" of the form his patriotism
must take.
In occupied Helena there is only
slight boost in the economy of the
local hustlers of personal services.
This is the year when the Guards
must prove their combat readiness
to the Pentagon, which is tired of
having the Guard considered as a
relief measure.
The Guard has not proved them
selves very worthy of occupying even
Helena never. mind territories of
other people. Like any occupied area
the military supplies have come from
a distant area. The fresh meat from
Chicago and of course the few civil
ians employed are children whom can
be paid substandard wages.
The Warden of the State Prison
in Deer Lodge, who is big wheel in
the Guard, thought it would be nice
thing to have his personal prisoner
cook work out with the Guard so that
when he arrived in Fort Harrison
the food would be to his palate. I'm
fortunately the prisoner-cook had
taste for the Guards liquid fare and
wandered away.
In all, the shots which are ex-
pended by the NG's on the ranges in
Townsend and the prison farm near
Deer Lodge, the Minuteman gopher
holes make a mockery of their To-
Called terror.
Combat troops in the style of Eu-
ope and Asia drive herds of fresh
meat with them. They do not have a
Chicago.
Combat troops of other nations
are meaner than an MP or an Inter
nal Revenue officer ever imagined.
The only reason for a military
group is to kill. They have no serv-
ice ito civilians worth mentioning, ex-
cept to kill.
When the Governor of this State
plans to have the NG killers oriented
as right-wing defenders there is a
danger to this nation such as has new
er been witnessed before. This coun-
try has never had to fight for it's sur
vival against what is commonly
termed the left wing or socialist
countries.
Many of our people have been
TO the death against the
leadership of other coun-
5ries.
1t is very foolish to speak of right

State House Beat ;.
FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

In National Guard-occupied Helena
there are some interesting charades
or phoney postures of the militaristic
death dealers. The devises of death
reach a comic opera intensity on the
American scene.
In Helena, with our own soldiers,
it can be seen the pointlessness of
persons dedicated to the destruction
of other inhabitants of the earth.
First, our Governor promises to
have an indoctrination course i'm
posed upon the Guard which will es-
tablish the vindication of the Right
Wing element of the Republican
party, according to a speech he de-
livered to the Disabled American
Veterans convention.
The NG's will have this orientation
which has been developed by Col.
Kendall and his training officer al

still in the planning STAGE. No

door cars available and he was in
terested in reduced rates.
Had the railroads told him there
would be more wide-door cars avail
able?
With improved service they would
be available.
Had anyone told him there would
be reduced rates?
No.
Do you sell ties to the Northern
Pacific?
Yes.
Do you sell ties to the GIN?
We have in the past, we are happy
to sell to anyone.

mics could enter into pooling agree
ment for wide-door cars without

HOW THEY ARRIVED AT
PRO-MERGER POSITIONS

How did these organizations arrive
at support of the merger? Under
cross examination the Farm Bureau
president said there was no referen-
dunn vote of his members; that reso-
lutions come from local groups to
state convention and policy is by
mai ority vote. Two of their members
worked on the resolution and their
organization ''had as much infoTma-
ton as anyone" on the matter.
The Gallatin Beef Producers, &C
cording to Walter Sales of Bozeman,
got their information individually.
He did not know where.
The Flathead Lake Cherry Growers
heard about merger at a stockholders
meeting from the agent of the Great
Northern and the Chamber of Com
merce; the stockholders expressed no
knowledge and asked that the matter
be left to the board of directors. MIR.
Miller, their secretary, said he made
the decision to support merger on
the basis of his own information
which came from Great Northern
officials. Asked if the GIN told him
the other side of the story, Miller
said mo-.
''Did you draft the resolution be-
cause you were the one assigned to
collect the information, he was
asked. Miller said it was done by an
attorney for the Great Northern at
his request.
How did the matter get ON the
Malta Chamber of Commerce agenda?
1t was presented by officials of the
railroad.
Did the Chamber go to any other
source of information?
Do you mean did we dig into it?
No. Some members of the Chamber
were approached by union members
in Malta. but no additional Informal
ton was presented at any meeting.

spell, supported merger because he
thought it would bring faster service
and make more refrigerator cars
available for his industry which seeks
markets ON the eastern seaboard.
When asked if he had been told by
railroad officials that these roads
already have pooling facilities and
that this is not an issue in the
merger, Miller said no, but he had
assumed with only one line more
cars would be available and service
would be faster.
Lee Robinson, the bearded presi-
dent of the Malta Chamber of Conn
merce, said his group was interested
in improved passenger service. When
he was Informed passenger service is
not involved in the merger Mr.. Rob-
inson said, eve assumed if the rail
road was better and stronger pas
senger service would be better.
TRUCKS SUBSIDIZED
TOO MUCH"
Shelby Chamber of Commerce
spokesman, v. r. Morrow, did not
think truck line competition to the
unsatisfactory rail service was the
answer to faster, more efficient serv-
ice because ''they (trucks) are SUBJ
sidized too much.

MONTANA WELL BEING.
SECONDARY

| What about the Well-belng OF M on
tana in the event of merger? Was
this important to the witnesses who
supported it? The Farm Bureau was
reminded that merger would discon-
tinue freight service into Jefferson
county. Asked if he thought it i'm
portant for the farmers of Jefferson
county to continue to have rail serv-
ice. Wilson replied, if it is possible
and feasible, yes; if not, no.
Asked whether the Farm Bureau
had the information that merger
would affect Jefferson county farm
ers. Wilson said he thought the MEM
bers from his organization Cooked
into the matter, chad as much in
formation as anyone else', and in
supporting merger his delegates took
that into consideration.
Lee Robinson, Malta Cote, said
they did not consider the effect on
the rest of the state when they passed
their pro merger resolution.
The Shelby Chamber supported
merger in ''the public interest.
Asked what he considered the "puh-
lie interest, Morrow said &C. in
general any improvement in operat-
ing efficiency in the railroads would
be of benefit ito the state as a whole.
Would you deem it efficiency after
merger and freight traffic in Mon
tana is reduced 24@o ON GIN lines
from Great Falls to Shelby, he was
asked.
Morrow had seen no studies indi-
eating this and was offered proof.
So. if it was helpful to the overall
operation of the railroads he thought
it would be, yes.
What about the well being of the
whole State of Montana if there
were loss of 74% of freight traf-
fic on the main line in southern
Montana between Billings and east?
Without time to consider, Morrow
did not want to answer.
Did the railroad officials tell the
Shelby Chamber about traffic reduc- |
ton or the number of employees
Montana will lose? Morrow was sure
they received that information.
The Butte Chamber manager said
possible tax loss was not discussed
in his group. He did not remember
that the loss of 40 of traffic in
Montana was discussed or the eco
nomic growth and prosperity of Mon
tana.
