In 1858 the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee directed the Agri-
culture Department to study the
need for soil and water research
facilities. The 1859 report to the
Committee listed many needy
areas. One was the Northern Great
Plains.
Research needs of greatest ur-
gency, according TO the report,
were precipitation runoff relation
ships, water intake rates of soils,
alkali and salinity problems, wind
erosion and windbreaks, fertility
requirements, crop residue man
agement, and conservation crop
ping systems.
No recommendation was made as
to the site of the proposed North
ern Great Plains Laboratory. How
ever, the late Senator Murray,
Senator Mansfield and Senator
Lee Metcalf, then a Representa-
tive, proposed the Sidney location.
Other sites had been suggested i'm
the Dakotas. But, the Montanans
had good points on their side.
In the first place, local support
erS of soil and water conservation
research had done a lot on their
own. For more than 20 years, soil
conservation districts in the area
have put money and land into re-

Phone SURVEY
Is Under WAY
In Sidney

Conversion of Sidney tele-
homes for dial service, together
with a customer service survey is
under way, r. f. Packard, man
ager for Mountain States Tele-
phone, announced.
A team of specially trained in
~stallation technicians will visit
all homes and business places who
have telephone service in Sidney
within the next few weeks.
Business customers will be con-
tacted shortly by communications
Representatives rom the Billings
office, who will explain new ser
vices which are available for in
stallation at this time.
Formerly available only in
black, telephones are now avail
able in numerous colorS to match
or blend with home furnishings,
or color schemes of individual
rooms.
Packard explained that special
equipment such as amplifier sets
for people with hearing defects
and noisy locations, Princess
phones with lighted dials, extern
sion telephones, home inter-phones
and bell chimes are just a few of
the family of phone services all
available in colors.

Budget Director and Secretary
Freeman, he convinced them that
the drought situation required an
immediate start on planning for
this research center.
Consequently, the Northern
Great Plains Laboratory moved to
the top of the priority list. Sidney
was named as its location. Plan
ming money was appropriated last
year.
In January 1862, the Admin
stration recommended appropria-
ton of 1895, 900 for construction OF
the project. Thereupon, the Mon
tana Senators asked the Agricul-
tural Research Service to begin
selection of a Laboratory Director.

had served with Senator Russell
since 1884, went before the Sub
committee in 1859 and again in
1860. There, speaking also for Sen
ator Mansfield and Representative
Metcalf, he built up the case for
Sidney. He followed by a January
20, 1860 conference with Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Peter
son and a Montana delegation.
Need for the facility was recog-
nized by the Agricultural Depart
ment, but the Northern Great
Plains facility was still low on the
priority list, and no definite deci-
sion had been made as to its site.
Early last year, Senator Mans
field and Senator Metcalf confer
red on the proposed Sidney Lab
oratory with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Orville Freeman. The Mon
tanans pointed out that because of
the severe drought in the North
ern Great Plains, the need for a
great soil and water research eff
fort was more urgent then ever.
During the closing days of the
first session of the 87th Congress,
in fall of 1861, Senator Mansfield,
despite his many duties as Major
ity Leader, devoted a lot of time
to the Sidney project. In his con-
versations with the President, the

Both Parties Heard From Last Week
MeteaIf Raps
Voting Record
OF Rep. Battin

Richland county Democrats
moved in some heavy artillery
last week when Sen. Lee Metcalf
peppered away at the voting re-
cord of US. Rep. James Battin and
called for the election of a Con-
gress of Democrats.
"If u nation is to move ahead
we must have a Democrat Con-
gress," Metcalf stated.
Metcalf leveled his attack at
Battin and said he has the worst
voting record in Congress-"
"He stamped no to every bill
submitted by the President and he
will continue to vote no." he
charged.
Sen. Metcalf told the group we
are living in a time of change and
said il is a time of strife and peril.
Metcalf said the President needs
power to negotiate item by item
and commodity by commodity on
tariffs and said the President was
given this power by Congress.
Turning to the farm problem he
said in 1880 this country will have
to retire 81 million acres of crop
land because Of our efficiency.
"In a decade we've moved from
a time of anticipated scarcity to
a time of anticipated surplus" he
added.
The 87th Congress. Metcalf said,
has been successful in meeting
these challenges in America. He
cited the passing of the Area re-
development Act, the Manpower
Retaining Act and others.
We're not completely SATISFIED
with all the ways in which we met
the challenge" he explained.
He went on to point out that the
87th Congress failed to pass a pro-
gram for medical care for the
aged; a program for the youth
conservation corps and failed to do
much in the way of resource deve-
lopment
These failures will be cured in
the next Congress if you will give
us the tools and the opportunity
and men to do it," he said.
Metcalf said the great issue in
1862 is the initiative, the leader
ship, the courage and the confid-
ence the people have in the Presi-
dent of the United States. He said
President Kennedy is confronted
with a far more difficult problem
than any president before him.

strated that he can face UP to the

in an apologiZing mood during his
recent visit to Sidney.
Speaking at the Lalonde Hotel
Monday night, Battin said he
wasn't here to apologize, but here
to say if reelected 1 will work for
the best interests of Montana and
the nation"
Battin told the group he didn't
believe in sideStepping an issue
and added that some people are
making quite a wrangle about my

no." he said, "but its been with a
conscience"
Getting to the issues in the

search Center.

didn't support the project. Let me
tell you that there isn't a person
in Congress that doesn't now know
where Sidney, Montana is. And, he
added, please remember that our
Montana Senators don't vote in
the House."
Touching on political philoso-
ply, Battin drew a round of ap-
plause when he said it was his be-
lief that the people at home were
not only capable, but qualified to
handle SO per cent of their own
problems.
"Just the other day we had a
representative from the Depart
ment of Health Education and
Welfare in the state say we should
throw the rascal out I'm the raS-
cal. l don't believe they should be
telling us how to run the state; or
should the senator from North Da-
kota come to Wolf Point and tell
us Montanas how 10 run our
state"
'By the way" he smiled. she

Switching to the national scene
Battin leveled his attack at deficit
spending and initiation.

eminent keeps spending more

President Kennedy re-
turned yesterday to his for
mer stamping ground, the
United States Senate, and
found it, in his words, the
way it was when I left"
The Chief Executive was
referring specifically, though
jocularly, to the fact that
Senator Wayne Morse, Dem
ocrat of Oregon, was making
a late afternoon speech, and
to an almost empty chamber.
The Oregonian has a repu-
tation among his colleagues
for delivering long. erudite
addresses late in the day,
when other Senators are
anxious to go home. 1t has
caused wagS in the Senate
press gallery to dub him the
five o'clock shadow"
There were only four other
legislators on the floor when
President Kennedy popped in
briefly. said this is the way
it was when I left" to a
startled Senator Morse, and
popped out again.
The sparse crowd still in
the gallery cit was $50 PM
belatedly recognized the
President and gave a flutter
Of applause.
Senator Morse, who by
that time was debating a
California irrigation project,
earlier had been denouncing
cocktail parties in the Cap
itol such as the one which
had drawn the President to
the Hill.
The party, which most of
the cabinet, several indie
pendent agency heads and
almost all Of the Senate also
attended. was an informal
reception given by Senate
Majority Leader Mike Mans
field to show off the big new
walnut-paneled Senate CON
ference room" in the new
East Front.
For Social Events
The room, which was called
the reception room" in the
architects plans, but now
is called a conference room"
by Senator Mansfield, will be
the scene of relatively large
Senate social events in the
future. This will allow the
hallowed Old Supreme Court
Chamber, whose use for
cocktail parties has outraged
historically minded persons
for some time, to be retired
to a more dignlfied status as
a tourist mecca.
Senator Morse called for a
ban on the serving of hard
liquor in any room in the
Capitol.
President Kennedy, who
did not sample either the
bar or the amply filled buffet
table during his half hour at
the party, arrived about 6
pm.
He was met at the entrance
to the party by Vice Presi-
dent Johnson, Senator Mans
field and Minority Leader

~ QUESTIONS 5
 AND ANSW FIR s

QUESTION: l was injured in an automobile accident and have been unable to work for about five months. The doctor says I should be able to go back to work in a few more weeks. Am I eligible to receive disability benefits from social security for the months I'm not able to work?
 ANSWER: No. Social security disability benefits are not pay able on account of temporary disability. A person must have a disability that is expected to be of a long continued and in- definite duration.
 QUESTION: I have worked many years as a professional musician although 1 am totally blind. Work is now scarce and my yearly earnings are much lower than they used to be. Can 1 have my social security account frozen? 1 understand that this would keep my future benefits from being reduced because of my present lack of work.
 ANSWER: Contact your so- cial security office. They will explain the effect of a disabil- ity freeze in your case. A per son who is totally blind, un- like persons with other types of disabilities, may have his so- cial security record frozen even though he is able to work, but you will have to file an appli- cation.
