succeed in putting over amendments
which would place control of the pub
lie corporation set up to guide the
destiny of communications in space
back in the hands of those who re-
searched it and created it's potential,
the U. S. government and it's tax
payers.
Senate opponents of the House bill
are also disgusted with what amounts
to a giveaway of the ''know' how"
painfully acquired through the ex-
penditure of nearly $500 million of
taxpayers money. The only return
provided in the House bill is a clause
requiring the government to be re-
imbursed by the public corporation
for odds and ends of services it may
give the corporation-or AT&T.
All the while, of course, the COM
munications company will be able
to write off for tax purposes a
good share of its own expense for
research and development. The tax
payer will also pick up a large
chunk of the tab for that research,
too. And the users of AT&T serv-
ices, under the House bill, will be
picking up the tab on additional
company expenses which will be in
corporated into the utility's rate
base.
A stalemate on the issue will toss
the ball back to the House sponsors.
In this all-important field, the gov
eminent, which has pioneered the
way, can get along quite we'll without
the monopolists. The monopolists
can't even get satellite up without
a government booster. 1t may be a
nasty choice for the House sponsors
to make, but at least it is an honest
one and that is what Kefauver's band
is aiming for. 1t could be an interest

on the line, but not by myself. l
wanted company"
And this is where the lobbyists
came in.
This is the way one Congressman
described the lobbying by AT&T and
other communications carriers:
"They are damned clever. They go
out of their way to be helpful. They
help out in your district. They may
even work for you. They stay out of
your hair during the minor Skin
mishes. They may even get into some
of the minor fights on your side.
Then, when the big one comes along,
what change.
THREAT OF REPRISAL
''Take the Accommodation is
sue. In this they are directly involved,
either through the big company or
the subsidiary outfits. They then give
us the line: why stick your neck
out? The administration is pushing
the partnership between big govern
ment and big business. They aren't
going to support you. You're going
to be left out there by yourself and
when election time comes around
your vote for government ownership
is going to be interpreted as vote
for socialism. Well see to that. And
for what? You can't win anyway
without the administration"
What member of Congress, my in.
formants said. isn't going to stop and
think about that one? OF course a
vote for government control of some,
thing that the governments own en-
ergy and taxpayers money has
brought within shooting distance isn't
"socialistic": it is commonsense. But
that isn't the way it would be made
to appear to the folks back home.
And so many Of the opponents of
the bill decided not to oppose it, after
all, and limited themselves to the
seeking of amendments which would
establish some degree of government
control over the private firms that
would dominate the experimental sys-
tenn. Not single House leader and
none of the all-important committee
,hairmen were included among the
nine liberals who voted against the
bill. The leaders did, however, seek
of which failed |
IF passage.
For instance, Representative
John Moss (D-Caiif.) correctly as
sumed that the ground stations,
needed to handle communications
via the orbiting satellites, were the
key to the effectiveness of the sys- t
tem-and to It's probability. He
proposed an amendment which
would have prevented the FEC
from encouraging" the private
communications firms-or "car-
riers"-to develop these stations.
He thought it only just that the
public corporation-which, however
much controlled by the AT&T, would
nevertheless include some public
nembers-should be given an OPP
to create the stations on
quail footing with the carriers. The
mendment got 33 votes.
The administration failure to ex-
rt leadership was described by sew
raj members of the House as an I'M

ssue of government ownership versus
rivate enterprise. The reasoning

Not since the Indians were gullec

That was the way one member OF
Congress described the 354 to vote
by which the House of Representa-
tives decided to turn over to the
AT&T the destiny of the nations
unications-satellite system.
Said the Congressman: If ever a
development needed to be kept in the
hands of the government, this is it. %
Yet he voted with the majority.
How did this overwhelming approx
al of the bill come about? How could
354 members of the House be led to
believe that by granting monopoly
to "public corporation dominated
by the giant AT&T, they were voting
in favor of 'free enterprise? How,
especially, could they do this to a sys-
tenn of communications into which
taxpayers have already poured a half
billion dollars in research and devel-
opment?
Several factors led to the failure
of House liberals and moderates to
make any kind of fight over what
was to many of them the most i'm
portant tangential development in
the race for space.
ADMINISTRATION WEAKENED
The first factor, they all agree
was the pathetic way in which the
Kennedy Administration fell for it's
own propaganda about the great
partnership" of business and gov
eminent. "The towel was thrown in
downtown (the White House) before
the issue ever got into the open," said
one Congressman. He pointed out
that the FEC and the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
(NASA) came to an understanding"
last year, that in keeping with the
American tradition, the Administra-
ton would proceed on the assump-
tion that private enterprise should
lead the nation into the space COM
era.
The conclusion drawn by the
House members otherwise eager for
a fight ON the issue was that the
Administration approved the agree
ment which, in effect, said that the
way to effective free enterprise
was through capitalistic monopoly. /
The conclusion seemed substanti-
ated when, subsequently, the Presi-
dent demanded only that certain
Safeguards be written into the bill.
Then even certain of these safeguards
were rejected by the legislators.
For instance, the President re-
luested that the State Department be
given leading role in the delicate
negotiations involved in
an international communica-
ions system. But as the bill finally
passed the House, in effect it merely
instructed the public corporation
which would supervise the system to
ret in touch with the State Depart
nent when it saw fit to do so. And
here was no squawk from the White
House. 80
With this lack of leadership from
downtown, it became clear even
before the hearings began that
those who wanted to battle this one
out la IVA and the great anti
trust issues of generation or more
ago. were strictly on their own.
"PubIic ownership, said another
member of the House who had
voted with the majority, "has lost
its magic with the voters. was

HEALTH PROGRAM
UNSATISFACTORY"

Flathead Kootenai Organization
makes further serious allegations as
to the conduct of tribal business.
One of these is that the health
program is conferred on ga most
unsatisfactory agreement between
the u. S. Public Health Service and
the tribal council which is in
complete disregard of the Treaty
of 1855 which provided for health
and welfare care. doctors. nurses,
indications and hospitals.
"There has never been hospital
built in accordance with the treaty,
to our knowledge, and tribal funds
have been paid for many years for
medicines and outside hospital care,
which is definitely contrary to the
treaty. We find that under the pres
emit setup, tribal funds are still being
used and many Indians, old and
young, blind and i'll, are required at
the present time to pay from their
own pockets for medical services, if
they can possibly do so :"
Other items needing investigation,
states the FKO letter, include negli-
gent keeping of tribal council meet
ing minutes, the tribal council budg-
ct, distribution of commodities, the
irrigation project and it's financial
administration of the tribes
resources, present supervi-
sion of hunting, fishing and trapping
on the reservation which "a maj ority
of the Indians feel'' will result in
this ''prized privilege slowly but
surely being lost to the Indian I'M

ervation nor the Constitution OF
the United States :"
the administration had something TO
do with it. When you get Midwestern
Republicans agreeing in principle with
liberals, the newspapers aren't likely
to smell much of a fight" a.sf
Others were less charitable on the
subject. One called what happened a
complete sell-out to the communica-
tions people" Another said that too
many newspapers just naturally go
along with the administration these
days. No doubt the complexity of the
problem helped keep it out of the
public domain. Newspapers today
tend to shy with horror from detailed
reporting of something that lacks
sex, term meaning reliability.
One Congressman pointed out
that even the legislators had only
the vaguest idea of the long-range
implications of Accommodation
in space. And, he added, signifi-
cantly, "Today's Congressman prob
ably couldn't take the time to find
out if he wanted to. On a compli-
Gated issue like this, many members
of Congress are forced to rely upon
the brain people downtown" In
this instance, the brain people"
downtown did nothing, or next to
nothing to help.
Another source of hard-nosed lib
eral support, the kind needed to pit
against the business-monopoly lobby
lists, was lost almost from the outset
when the American Communications
Association (AFL-CIO) gave its solid
endorsement to AT&T and the other
carriers. Some members of
the House charge that the union ex-
poets payment when it makes its
next pitch for contract. Whether
this is SO or not, the fact remains
that the attitude of the AGA effec-
lively killed off public statements
from heads of other large unions
known to favor public ownership, or
at least public control, of the satel-
lite system.
So all the elements for a debacle |
we're present: administration indiffer- |
encs or outright hostility; a swarm
Of some of the most talented and in

PRIVATE GAIN SHOULD NOT
DICTATE DEVELOPMENT

Although profitable operation Is
a legitimate goal of the free-enter-
prise system, the appearance of Amer
lean exploitation simply for profits
must be avoided and private gain
must not be permitted to dictate the
design, type or capacity of the sys-
tenn which ultimately develops"
The report also pointed out that
while the participation of private mi
tiative was to be encouraged, g.
the government must retain maximum
flexibility regarding the central ques-
ton of ownership and operation of
the system" Questions of ownership
and operation of commercial sys-
tenn, such as business and financial
arrangements, SHOULD not be per-
mitted to delay the research and de-
velopment phase" one report added.
Almost without exception, these
wise admonitions went UNDECIDED
when AT&T and ether lobbyists
turned on the pressure. Most ex-
perts concede that despite the
scare technique of warnings
about Russian advances in the field,
there was no need, at this stage,
to make final determination of
ownership. The fact is that, in re-
search and development on tele-
communications, the government
is, and has been, leading the pack.
Of the 27 members of the commit
tee which wrote last October's re-
port, only one Representative, Will
liams Fits Ryan, D-N.Y.) was pre-
pared to back it up with words and
action on the House floor. He and a
few colleagues raised the serious
question, first explored theoretically
by the space committee, of whether
private gain" would be permitted
to dictate the "design, type, or ca
pacity'' of the ultimate system.
The House bill places that power in
the hands of the leading carrier,
AT&T, which favors the so-called low
orbit system involving many satellites
orbiting the earth some 5000 to
5 700 miles up. This system is the
most cumbersome and expensive,
since it requires a large number of
ground stations. (Ground stations,
IS indicated above, carry the great
.st potential for profit.)
