diction over such matters as old age
pensions, unemployment insurance,
labor relations, minimum wages and
maximum hours.

States Rights At Work
Right Wing Move to Undermine
U.S.. Constitution Hit by AFL-OO

| ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The AFL-CIC
has launched a major attack on right
wing efforts to weaken the Consti
tuition of the United States to the
point that rural minority control OF
the nation would be perpetuated in
the interest of reactionary big bust.
ness.
The Federation's executive council
in recent session here, sounded an
unusually strong alarm against the
three constitutional amendments that
group of state legislators, acting
through the Council of State Govern
ments, is trying to have enacted.
These amendments would substi-
tute dual sovereignty" for the
sovereignty of the u. S. federal
government. In effect, it would be
a return to the old confederation
of states which proved completely
inadequate when the u. S. was
founded confederation that was
replaced by today's federal system.
The three amendments would:
Change the method of amending
the Constitution by providing that
vote of three-fourths of the states
would be sufficient to pass an amend
ment. The federal Congress would
have nothing to say about the amend
ment nor would a national conven-
ton, as now provided in the Consti-
tuition.
The AFL-CIO pointed out that this
would turn constitutional amend
ments over to the states, many of
whose legislatures are dominated by
rural legislators elected under long
apportionments and gerry
handlers. Rural-dominate state legis-
atures have repeatedly fought off |
efforts to apportion seats fairly.
A second proposed amendment |
would deprive the federal courts of |
power to hear suits challenging the
lpportionment of state legislatures.
The AFL-CIO pointed out that past
has shown clearly that
legislatures will not
eform themselves and that only
through federal action can political
ustlce be obtained.

Nursing Homes Must
Meet New Standards
Effective July !

The State Board of Health at its
May meeting reaffirmed it's policy
regarding the enforcement on July 1,
1868, of the revised standards for
nursing, personal care and boarding
homes.
Homes that do not meet these
standards by July 1, will not receive
a license. Under the 1947 Montana
law, the SBH is the licensing agency.
The board has given the homes
which existed on July 1, 1860, (when
the standards were adopted) three
years to meet the standards. This
time was given because the board
members realized that there would
be considerable costs involved in pro-
viding sprinkler systems, fire escapes,
re-wiring where indicated, and for
providing additional facilities in these
homes. Amy new facilities, including
additions ito existing homes, which
were constructed after July 1, 1860,
have had to meet these standards in
order to be licensed.

Grants In-Aid, Burden Or Hope? State Officials
BY ROSCOE FLEMING, Denver


"Grants-in-aid is a fighting
phrase to some Americans, one
of hope to others.
Such federal aid has grown
fast and enormously - from
less than ST billion yearly in
1916 to about So billions now.
Congress gives 40 kinds of
such aid to states.
Some people fear this means fed
eral control of local government. All
it does, they say, is to send local
money to Washington, and send it
back minus big handling charge.
But to get such grant, each state
legislature must accept it yearly by
an affirmative act, and provide match
ing funds from local taxes. Senator
Muskie of Maine would further pro-
vide that applications for urban aid
would have to be approved by a state
planning agency.
NEVER A TURN DOWN
Even states that complain they get
back much less money than they send
to Washington, never turn down
grant. Neither do those ruled by the
loudest states Fighters (such as Mon
tana.-PV), although to reject a
grant would create a national news
sensation to aid their battle against |
federal controls.
The underlying purpose and eff
feet of grants is to shunt some of
the national wealth and income
from richer areas to poorer ones,
so as to put floor under the con-
dition of all Americans. Some
wealthy states complain of this, but
some poorer ones would never pro-
vide American standards for their
institutions and people without it.
And Prof. Daniel Elazor of Illinois
University. in his book "The Ameri-
,an Partnership, characterizes grants
as an essential part of federal u. S.
system which sets up new goals of ,
civilized efficiency for the world to
match.

Some nations give local aid without

History In the Making

The U. S. Passport Office in 1868
expects to issue more than million
passports for the first time in it's
history, according to the American
Automobile Association. This would
represent a 10 per cent increase over
the number issued last year.

Robert Welch, the sef-appointed,
admitted dictator" of the John Birch
Society, states i'm his Blue Book that
the goals of the rightists can not be
attained through the political parties.
At page "a of the Blue Book Welch
states:
&c. Put not your faith in poll
ticians'. We shall have to use poll
clans, support politicians, create
politicians, and help the best ones
we can find to get elected. l am
thoroughly convinced, however,
that we cannot count on politicians,
political leadership, or even politi-
cal action except as part of some
thing much deeper and broader, to
save u.s..
This poses no casual dilemma for
the state COP organization in a
state that claims elected officials
and appointees from Birch Society
membership.
To win elections they may find it
necessary to censure and court stimuli
laneously.

WALKING A TIGHT ROPE

John Birch Society; the Republican
organization, as such, is not on rec
ord, but unlike places like California
there has been no open split over
Birchism.
Because of the inroads of right
wingism in Montana and the boast
full impact in elections, Republicans
have been flirting if not actually CO.
habitating with the Birchers. That
they are exploiting the prejudices
spawned by these people in the Gin
doctrination' process can be seen
daily.
The Republican State Chairman,
for instance, refers to the Democratic
State Coordination in his releases as
the "Ford Foundation Democrat State
COORDINATION"
The Blue Book at page 80: (Welch
is explaining the "plan" to convert
the United States into a socialist ma
ton, similar to Russia.)
&C. The best way to explain
the aim here is simply to quote the
directive under which some of the
very largest American Foundations
have been secretly but visibly work
ing for years. This directive is so
to change the economic and politi-
cal structure of the United States
that it can be comfortably merged
with Soviet Russia
"These foundations, influential
as they are, nevertheless are COM
paratively just a very small part of
the tremendous forces at work in
America today to accomplish this
aim. And those vital forces, mar
velously organized and brilliantly
directed, use hundred to a thou
sand completely misguided Ameri-
cans who are not Communists, for
every actual Communist who is
pulling strings behind the scenes, to
help them put over their innocent
and even 'progressive'-sound-
ing plans.
