BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

Yes. Mrs. Calabash, there
are movies which are al
lowed to speak for them
selves.
You will remember, of
course. The River Kwai,"
how it was allowed to speak
for itself. And, having spoken,
how it walked away with an
awesome popularity and all
those Academy awards.
During its making in
Burma, It might have been
classified as top secret. 1t
was nothing of the kind, Of
course. 1t was unnecessary.
Three factors account for
this. One was that its
producers were too busy get
ting the film made to toll
crate any publicity depart
ment nagging. Another, that
Burma is quite an out-of-
the-way place and hardly an
enclave Of correspondents
looking for something less
dull than official handouts.
The third reason is to be
found In the attitude of its
producer. He is a big man
named Sam Spiegel and he
has a fierce faith in the
ability of his pictures to
speak for themselves If, after
the picture has been shown
to them, columnists and crit
les are interested, they can
jolly well talk 1t over-in-
Guiding details of production
with those involved in its
making.
Another on Way
Mr.. Spiegel has another big
picture over q slow fire. This
Is Lawrence Of Arabia" It
will open here in February,
at the Ontario Theater. Out
side Of routine announce
ments. spaced far apart, one
has heard almost nothing Of
Lawrence Of Arabia" There
has been no scandal news,
no tales of feuds between
those working on the film,
no mention of huge sums be-
iLg spent in the great desert
campaign Of its making.
Mr.. Spiegel has announced
that the cost of the film is
his business. adding that he
might behead anyone who
undertakes to exploit the
subject of its cost.
This may represent a small
contribution to q better
world, but 1t remains a con-
tribution.
1t at least means that
moviegoers will not go to see
the Speigel film wondering,
as in the case of Cleo
patra," where all those mil
lions went. Or, to take a cur
rent visible specimen, is q
film like "Mutiny on the
Bounty" worth 20 million
dollars?
Almost two years Of talk
about its cost, its travails, Of
those headlines about how
headstrong Marion Brando
was during its making, send
the moviegoer to see "Mu-
tiny" beset by all sorts of
considerations extraneous to
the films merit. Is the film,
one wonders, really "Mutiny
on the Bounty" or should it
be called THE Mutiny of
Marion Brando," the latter
involving all those millions?
1t awakens interest in all
sorts of artistically irrele-
want details. For one of
these, there is Brando's Eng
lish accent. In the midst Of
all those British actors led
by Trevor Howard, how is
this Omaha boy making out
with his clipped "thenk yuhs"
and all those initiative
speeches? He is making out
badly, the more conspicuously

Foundation Program
Has Fallen Far Short
Of Coal: Miller

| Although the (school)
foundation program originally wa.
supposed to represent a minimum
budget, it has fallen far behind this
goal due largely to failure to keep
up with inflation,' Supt. of Public
instruction Harriet Miller said Tues
day in presenting to the Laurel Ro-
tary Club graphic demonstration of
how the program works.
The State Superintendent said that
while initiation forces schools today
to spend $1.85 to buy what $1.00
bought in 1949 when the foundation
program began, the foundation pro-
gram provides only $1.35 for each
1949 dollar. "The difference is the
loss of foundation program purchas-
ing power, or support, due to failure
to keep the law up-to-date," Miss
Miller explained.
She told the Rotarians that Gin
dollars of constant purchasing power
the cost of educating Montana
pupil has stayed the same since
1949."
To the question of why Montana
finds it harder to pay for schools
today, the State Superintendent
said that the states sources of
school support are failing to grow.
SCHOOLS are not causing Montana's
economic illness, but they are focus
ing attention on it through the school
problem" Miss Miller said.
She pointed to population loss,
drop in per capita income and other
factors as indicative of Montana's
lack of growth, and urged attention
DO the causes.
"Montanans have good reputation
for action, and action can't come
700 soon. The school financing prob
EN- can be solved only when our sick
economy is made BETTER" Miss Miller

airy Club, the State Superintendent |
listed the Laurel schools. Later in |
he day she was scheduled to speak
t a meeting of Laurel teachers be-
ore returning to Helena.

Washington Notebook
BY RAY DOCKSTADER. Legislative,
Assistant to Senator Mansfield


WASHINGTON, D. C.-From time
to time Congressional offices re-
ceived inquiries from constituents
questioning the financial soundness
of the old age, survivors, and dis
ability insurance program. A recent
inquiry by Senator Mansfield re-
suited in detailed report from the
Social Security Administration point
ing out that the program is designed
to be self-supporting and is financed
wholly by the social security taxes
paid by employees, their employers
and the self-employed. Under the
law the money in these trust funds
can be used only to pay benefits and
administrative expenses of the pro-
gram.
The report to the Majority Leader
contained the following information:
'The total income of the old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance
program from the beginning of
1887, when social security taxes
first became payable, to the end
of 1861 was SOL billion. About
ST. billion of this total was in
terest from the investments of the
social security trust funds; the re-
mainder was income from social
security taxes. From January 1910,
when monthly benefits first be-
came payable under the program,
until end of 1861, total of $75.6
billion in benefits had been paid
under the program.
''The total cost of administer
ing the program through 1861, in
Guiding the costs incurred by the
Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare and by the Depart
ment of the Treasury in connection
with the program, was $2.2 billion,
or only slightly more than 2 cents
out of each dollar collected in So

which they are convinced are nee
essary and worthwhile. Convincing
legislators of the need of our state
institutions is a political process
known as lobbying.
Furthermore, this comes down to
question for each citizen and GER
tainly for each Christian to answer.
AS Christians, we are under obliga-
ton to care for those who are hun
cry. in prison, sick in body or mind,
and cannot care for themselves.
Christ makes this responsibility very
clear. This is an individual obliga-
ton, but few of us as individuals
have the training, time, or resources
to fulfill these obligations as indi-
viduals. Therefore we delegate these
responsibilities to professional agen-
cies and institutions. But this does
not change our individual response
bility. We cannot say that the neces-
sary delegation of power relieves us
of the responsibility for the way in
which these agencies operate.
"a REASON FOR SHAME"
at appears that at least some of
our state institutions came out on
the short end of the 1861 legislative
appropriations. If SO, then the fiscal
policies of Montana are not as much
source of pride as a reason for
shame. 1t is the Christian duty of
our people to become informed as
to what the institution really is at
Boulder, Warn Springs, Miles City,
etc.-since if there is any real blame
to be placed, it must be placed at
the door of every citizen of Montana.
You and l elect our legislators
they act in accord with our
wishes and desires.
''Thus the only way in which what
ever problems exist in our state in
situations as far as financing is con-
,erned can be solved is through the !
'egular political processes of repre-
sentative democracy.
Instead of keeping these things
out of politics, and thus removing
the only real avenue of solution,
let's put these concerns into the
kind of politics that will get things
done-through legislature which
reflects the concern and opinion
of an informed electorate"

"The bankers that will be out

KEEP 1T OUT OF POLITICS!

Keep 1t Out of Politics is one
of the biggest fallacies to which the
people of our country are subjected.
Whenever vital issue, especially
one of humanitarian concern comes
up, somebody will always say, Keep
it out of politics.! The impression
conveyed is that the issue, whatever
it may be, should be held above the
give and take of the political process.
The implication seems to be that
practical politics will somehow con-
taminate the issue at hand.
"The fallacy is that if an issue is
actually taken out of politics, there
is no possible way by which it can
be resolved, since politics is nothing
more or less than the art of govern
ment, and the management of policies
and programs of public concern. 1t
is certainly true that at times, poll
tics can be messy and unsavory, but
we cannot reject our process of
orderly government just because
there are some who know few bar
riers to greed and dishonesty. We
do not reject all merchants just be-
cause there are some fly-by-night
operators who charge high prices for
shoddy merchandise.
"Our State Training School at
Boulder is currently in the news be-
cause of an apparent lack of operat-
ing funds. According to the news
paper reports as of Monday morning,
Superintendent Sandal states that
the last legislature made the appro-
priations for the school dependent
upon increasing collections from par
ents of the children who were at the
school.
'Now if the basic problem is "a
lack of proper financing, then it
is completely unrealistic for any
one to say that this issue should be
kept out of politics. The financing
of our state institutions is the
specific responsibility of the State
Legislature, and in turn the re-
sponsibiIity of every citizen. The
only way in which there will ever
be proper financing is through the !
political body known the legis-
Iature, through the political process
known as voting for apProPria-
tions. Since legislators are ordinary {
human beings, they will seek to
provide funds for those purposes

signed on August 27,. 1862 for the
disposal of 1928 long dry tons
of manganese carbonate ore stored
at Butte and Phihpsburg. The total
contract value is $1,O89,864 with all
out loading costs to be borne by the
contractor. The ore cannot be sold
or Offered for sale back to the U. S.

to be completed within one year.
This brings to close many months

posal of this manganese stockpile
and should provide direct economic
benefit to the Philipsburg area.
