Barrett Critical of
Anti Public Works
Vote By Buttin

Repr. James E. Battin cast another
vote against Montana last week
"when he voted against the success
full amendment to include in the
Supplemental Appropriation Bill,
$3.50, 100000 that President Kennedy
and an Appropriation subcommittee
requested for the accelerated Public
Works Program according to Fred
Barrett, Demo state chairman.
Barrett said that "since the accel-
Grated Public Works Program began
last fall, more than 100000 has
been spent providing needed jobs or
community services on all seven Mon
tana Indian Reservations of
which are in Battin's district-and
in ten non-reservation counties, in
Guiding Carbon, Park and Mussel-
she'll, also in Battin's district"
The Democratic state chairman
added. "Many Montana towns have
submitted applications under this
program for funds for roads, sewer
age and water systems, and other
public works. Apparently Cong. Bat
tin opposes these projects !. they
include Bridger, Roberts and F'roid,
to mention only a few in eastern
Montana.
Barrett said, "Battin's negative
voice, if it had been in the majority,
would have had a wider effect in
that other communities and workers
will benefit from such planned prof. |
ects as range, timber and road work
IN federal lands
Barrett concluded, saying, eff Bat
in had been successful, Montana
own and county officials would have
cen. their applications thrown into
he waste basket. Who does Battin

quality timber"
A forest fibre consumer rarely de-
cides which product best suits his
needs on the basis of whether he is
a Republican or Democrat. Perhaps
both Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Collins
are bit hasty to resolve their diff
ferences via the press. 1t is a matter
for them both to refer to the Area
Redevelopment whose money to loan
is what they are squabbling about.
National forest policy of getting
the most money from the best use of
the forest cannot be changed to suit
political PHILOSOPHERS.
Other forest fibre news include a
promotion drive for funds by the Big
Sky Development Co. which has an
English mechanical process for MAX
ing paper pulp. They will locate on
the Flathead between Kalispell and
Coram. Inland Empire Paper plans
a plant in the same vicinity. Their
process, similar TO that of the plant
in Spokane, has noxous fumes and
toxic liquids. They have been spray
ing their discharge on land and road
ways to keep from communicating the
Spokane River. Let's hope the English
process becomes popular before the
Big Sky becomes the Big Stink.-FS

Rejection of C&C's Loan Application
Was Planning Boards Act
POLITICALLY Motivated'?

Politics and plywood domi-
mated the economic news this
week as charges and counter
charges hit the press after the
rejection of C and C Plywood

ment loan application by the
State Planning Board.
Clay o. Thompson, plywood man.
ager, stated, "We are naturally dis
appointed but certainly not surprised
by the politically motivated action of
Director Tom Collins and the State
Planning Board -
"The board was not asked to ap-
prove the ARA program of govern
ment-assisted loans, to which it is
apparently opposed because of con-
flicting political beliefs"
Thompson pointedly asked ques-
decision. If c and C pulled out of the
state would the sawmills employ
their Ito people? Would aother lum-
Der company receive approval for a
plywood mill loan? How can the Plan
ming Board know more about develop
ing the Flathead area than the local
development board?
Collins fired back, GIN the overall
economic development plan for Flat
head county, which preceded the re-
lection, it was pointed out that over
all sawmill capacity in the Flathead
Valley is considerably in excess of
the allowable cut from the Flathead |
National Forest. The same situation |
prevails in other timber ownerships. |
Sacrifice of either the future of |
Flathead timber resources or the ex-
listing health of the Flathead timber
industry would hardly satisfy the
goal of development set by the Plan
ming Board for Montana's economy"

AFL-CIO COPE REPORT

due to the increasing activity and
influence of the extreme right wing,
this months COPE REPORT is de-
voted to an examination of the gen
eral goals and methods of the men
and organizations dedicated to the
destruction of trade unions and other
democratic institutions.)
No single definition fully en-
compasses the right wing. 1t
could be called a flock of
maiden antis". But this would
portray only a crowd of busy
bodies harmlessly nosing about
in everyone's affairs. T h e
right mind is much more than
that. 1t is dedicated, deter
mined and dangerous. 1t has
money, manpower and mill
fancy.
Right-wingers basically are "again-
sters". They set out whole smorgas-
bord of spites. They fire salvos of
propaganda bombarding individuals
and institutions they fear and mis-
trust. What they are for-what posi-
tive proposals they advance is as
clear as London fog. For example,
most of them would destroy the So
cial welfare programs which cushion
the hardships of old age Or unemploy- |
ment. Yet, they offer no alternative |
They package their programs in
the red. white and blue of anti-com-
munism, but theirs is an anti-com-
munism which weakens democracy
by showering suspicion on democratic
institutions and responsible leaders.
They are united by a shared vision
of a vast internal communist threat.
In this nightmare, they see them
selves as the forces of good combat

What Is The Right and Why Is 1t Wrong?

/ negotiate a just and lasting peace.
They are the war-whoopers who be-
little our governments attempts to
reduce world tensions. Civilian right
wingers are back-stopped by an avail
able pool of retired admirals and gen.
erals who, from their armchairs, saw
agely second-guess political leaders.
1T is the right-wingers who have
tried to force the choice between
"Red'' and "dead", refusing to ac-
knowledge that Americans can en-
dure alive and free.
So far, the general attitudes of
the right wing have been described.
What happens when these atti-
tudes are translated into action at
the community level against spe-
cific, reachable target?
One concrete example, typical
one-occurred in California. 1t af-
fords an insight into the mind and
method of the right wing.
A member of a county school
board. who was also a teacher in the
school system-a wounded combat
veteran of World War II-hosted a
meeting in his home of the local
chapter of the American Civil Lib
critics Union. Violently despised by
the rightists, the ACLU is an old and
respected organization which defends
in court persons whose civil liberties
it feels have been violated, whatever
their political beliefs. It has defended
both right-wingers and left-wingers.)
The meeting in question was ad-
dressed by a man who had crossed
swords with the House Un-American
Activities Committee. John Birch So

ALA, ATTEMPT TO
PURGE BORDEN

A campaign of smear and SANDER
was launched. Blatant lies and ugly
insinuations about the "subversive"
background of the teacher-board
member were spread to every home
in the community through hand
bills, letters and newspaper ads.
The extremists bounded the man
and his family with threatening
phone calls and anonymous notes.
Their tactics worked.
In special election, a frightened,
suspicious citizenry ousted the man
from his school board position. His
teaching job also was on the block.
He died eight months later at SO,
leaving a widow and three young
children.
Not all the victims of the right
wingers die, but in most cases their
regulations do, and their jobs do.
Similar incidents have occurred in
all corners of the country: School
teachers run off their jobs by extrem-
ist trouble-makers; textbooks present
ing honest, objective facts about
trade unions, or the United Nations,
forced out of use; school boards in
undated and struck with fear; lib
eral clergymen attacked and de-
labor leaders vilified; respon-
sible community officials slandered.
1t has grown too frequent to laugh
off, too effective to ignore.
To really understand the dangers
posed by the right wing, try to en-
yision-based ON what we know of
-ightist purposes and methods-an
America under its control:
Free labor unions would be
smashed. Social welfare programs
would vanish. Free elections would
end. The liberal clergy would be
muffled. Dissent would be gagged.
Schools would teach only safe"
doctrines of INSTRUMENTATION.

Germany, a nation of neighbor spy
