KeImu Good On
35-Men1ber RAD
National Group

GREAT FALLS-Mrs. Velma Coco
recently returned from meeting Of
the 35-member National Public AID
visory Committee on Rural Areas De
velopment, of which she is member
The meeting was held in ST. Louis
Mo. 1t followed the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture's first regional
Land and People. Conference, at
tended by 1,40O persons.
The RAD Advisory Committee was
appointed by Secretary Orville L.
Freeman last December to advise
and counsel him and his Department
ON rural areas development activities
which are aimed at revitalizing rural
America.
In report TO the Secretary, the
group recommended:
That steps be taken to insure
that rural areas development work
throughout the nation be accelerated
and that the greatest possible empha-
sis be placed ON local initiative;
That better dissemination of in
formation to rural people on the edu-
cational and training opportunities
now available as the result of recent
legislation is needed;
That all rural areas development
groups make full use of existing COM
munity facilities, such as schools, in
meeting the training and retraining
needs of rural people;
.. That the principle behind the
RAD program is lf-help by the local
people; therefore, efforts should be
made TO develop this "sef-starter"
spirit among rural people through
teamwork;
That the Department continue
to promote good modern housing for
all rural people, as well as modern
group facilities such as watershed
protection projects and water supply
systems;
That action be undertaken to
develop job opportunities for rural
youth out of school;
And that, since agriculture en-
compasses people ON the land and the
use of this land, agriculture should
be directly concerned with the de-
velopment of recreational resources
in rural areas.
The group also discussed low farm
income and how it could be raised to
the standard now enjoyed by other
citizens of this country, Mrs. Good
reports.
This was the fourth meeting of
the public advisory group. Plans were
made to meet again in December, in
Washington, D. C. Clarence J. Nc
Cormick, former Undersecretary of
Agriculture, is chairman.
Mrs. Good and her husband, Mel
vim. are wheat farmers north of the
Electric City.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LABORl
Glass | railroads increased the
number of high-paid officials last
year while "crying the blues about
their financial "plight" and making
further deep cuts in the number OF
employees.
That ironic picture emerged last
week from an Interstate Commerce
Commission annual statistical report
on the compensation of Glass I rail-
road officers, directors and others
receiving salaries and "other COM
pensation" of more than $4,000 a
year.
The number in that bracket in
creased to COZ from $50 the pre-
vious year. On the other hand, en-
ployment on Class / railroads in
1861 was slashed by more than
$4,000 during the year to 717,543.
Executives of 10 roads received
100000 or more. The president of
the Union Pacific topped the list
with $147,675.

Historically, state utility commits
sions have given way to the wishes
of the power companies.
The Oregon U. S. Senator dug deep
at the private utilities who gain pub
lie support ON the local level because
of their "tax paying" contribution to
society, then go in the back door via
Congress and ask for it back.
He pointed out that private power
companies, who tell the public they
are ready, willing and able to supply
all of Americas power needs were
before Congress this year asking for
an so tax credit as an incentive"
to carry out functions they are re-
quired by law to perform as public
utilities.
Private power companies are reg
ulated monopolies which are afforded
the opportunity to earn just and rea-
sonable rates of return after taxes,
the Morse statement said. He con-
tended private utilities do not pay
taxes in the sense that other enter
prises do; that they collect them
from consumers. "They enjoy shell
tered markets and virtually risk-free
investment, he said

CAPITAL BUDGET NEEDED


The need for a capital budget to
put the whole power picture in per-
spective was considered important by
resource development people. Morse
pointed out that power is a paying
partner in multiple-purpose projects
and that in the last 10 years the tax
payers realized better than 81 billion
from the sale of electricity from fed
eral projects. lt5
To-day we lump self -liquidating
costs for power together with gov
eminent operating expenses such
as typewriter ribbons and carbon
paper, he said.
Pat Greenhouse, United Automobile
Workers, said the issue is profit
versus people, and it is necessary for
the people to be there with the right
program at the right time.
He said there must be overall
planning for the total economy and
then all groups work together to
achieve the goals that have been
worked out.

$4,000 new jobs each week each year.
"Just to stand still we have to run
that fast, he said.
Norman Clapp, Administrator of
Rural Electrification Administra-
ton, spoke of the formidable chal-
lenges" of those who would destroy
the REA program or convert it to
their private profit and expressed
his confidence in the power of the
people and their ingenuity to meet
the challenges effectively.
He said the challenge to ade-
quate, low-cost power is national
and plans for it's ultimate achieve
ment also must be national in
scope, but Fundamentally, the
solutions rest with the people

total several score millions of dol-' lars Exact location of the bases will probably be announced by the Department of Defense.
 In making the announcement, Bartlett said, T have been unoffi- cially, but authoritatively informed that substantial number of ICBM bases are to be constructed in Alas ka. They will be of the Minuteman type, which is solid fuel missile, with range of 5000 miles
 Bartlett continued. "These mis- siles will be able to reach every vii tai target area of the Communist world" He said the Department of Defense is expected to announce where and in what number" the bases are to be built
 Governor Comments
 Governor William Egan, when asked about the report, stated Tt is truly an announcement of great inn portance to Alaska and the entire nation" Egan went on to state that the bases will provide strong de- terrent capability for Uncle Sam and all the States
 He said he was pleased to see military leaders recognize the tre- mendous strategic importance of Alaska"
 The report by Bartlett today con- firmed long standing rumors that missile bases were to be constructed in Alaska. The action will bring US. ICBMs 2,500 miles closer to po- tential targets than previous bases constructed in the southwest United States.
 It is also the frution of longtime efforts by Gen. Frank Armstrong, Sen. Bartlett and others to beef up American defensive capabilities by adding retaliatory strength in the form of Alaskan ICBM bases.
