Building MateriaI
Study Is Approved

Award of $12,5OO contract to
study the economic feasibility of
manufacturing a wide variety of
building materials on or near the
Navajo Indian Reservation in
Arizona, New Mexico and Utah
was announced by the Department
of the Interior.
The study will be conducted by
the Armour Research Foundation
of Chicago, ILL.,, and is, in effect,
an expansion of study initiated
last December. Under the first
contract, which was for SIS, 700
the Foundation was to study the
feasibility of manufacturing con-
crete blocks and was required to
submit a report in four months.
Under the new contract, the study
will be broadened to include other
building materials such as cement,
ready mixed concrete, brick,
structural clay tile, gypsum pro-
ducts, conc crete pipe, concrete
beams, and stone facing. The COM
pletion date has been extended
for five months from May 16.
The study is one of 80 which
the Bureau of Indian Affairs has
initiated under contract during the
past 10 months to explore the
feasibility of various types ofeco-
nomiC Developments on or near
Indian reservations. Forty seven
servations in 19 States are in
volved in these studies. Nine of
the studies have been completed
and are now under review.

Biologists
Map Moon

The Geological Survey has COM
pleted the second in a series of
geologic maps of the moons sur
face, Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall announced today.
The geological moon-mapping
project pressed forward by the
Geological Survey, on behalf of the
National Aeronautical and Space
Administration, is part of ma
tional effort to provide basic geo.
logic information needed to place
instruments and men on the moon
The map--prepared by c. H.
Mar shall, one of team of astro-
geologists stationed at the Surveys
Flagstaff, Arizona field Office
shows approxim ately 100000
square miles of the moons sur
face. an area slightly smaller than
the State of Arizona.
The unpublished by the Astro-
geology Branch of the Survey
depicts in color the geologic fea-
lures of the Letronne region of the
moon. The map is at a scale of
ii 100000 and joins the first sur
vey moon map.
The Letrome map (named for
Letronne Crater, about Is miles in
diameterl shows. as the other geo
logic moon map does, the distribu-
tion and relative age of lunar
geological units and major struc-
tural features of the area in symbol
and in color. The first map, called
The Kepler Map. is named after
Johannes Kepler, the famed 18th
Century astronomer.
Robert ]. Hackman of the Astro-
geology Branch of the Geological
Survey in Washington. DC, said
that "these maps are forerumers
of approximately II maps that will
eventually display the geology of
the moons visible surface, about
81 million square miles, or an
area equal, roughly, to the North
American continent. a"
Hackman added that, "the moon
mapping is being accomplished by
a combination of stereoscopic ex-
animation of photographs. tele-
scopic observations, and analysis
of brightness changes measured
with a micrOdenSitometer.

Royal Thievery

The action of Argentina in announcing
that it will annul contracts made with
foreign oil companies, primarily Ameri-
can, without any firm promise of ade-
quate indemnity, is another example Of
immortality on the part Of a government.
The United States is deeply concerned.
Efforts by a high us. official to settle
the matter fairly came to little or moth

pledges and agreements. Since 1853 the
oil companies concerned have spent 1897
million in Argentina. They have develop
ed her Oil to the advantage of
all. They believed that the freely-made
contracts would be fulfilled on the part
of all the signatory parties.
The news reports also say that the Ar
gentine government holds that its action
is legal, and if the companies are dissatiS-
fled they can go to court. One can imagine
what would happen then. The litigation
would, in all probability, be drawn out
indefinitely. And the chance of fair in
Identification would be frail indeed.
There can be no stability in the world,
no fair chance to better understanding
and cooperation between nations, unless
treaties, contracts and agreements are
kept to the letter.

Reader Writes
On Assassination
Memo to Sidney Herald:

Memo to Sidney Herald:
Much has been said concerning
hatred since the assassination of
John F. Kennedy, our deceased
president. | would like to add a
new note to the subject which
may sound strange to some peo-
pie.
When one person hates another
person they do themselves more
harm than they do the person
hat they hate. Hatred is a big rel
problem to the hater than to the
hated.
The time of the season is al
hand when the nation will be com
memorating the physical birth Of
the Prince of Peace. But does il
make sense to do so if we ig'
lore what He stands for?
The greatest danger to this ma
ion is not Communism, Facism
otalitarianism or any other act:
Of treachery. The greatest danger
IS the moral dtcay of the people

The country is criss-croSsed
with paved roads, nowadays, and
cars running up to ninety miles
per hour are racing wildly every
which way. There have been
many thousands of people killed
by automobiles since they came
into use. Young people who have
never had to follow a walking
pillow all day, cannot seem TO
realize the danger created by all
this speed. Sometimes | wonder
if they, in these fast moving days
are any happier than we were
in that slow, plodding period Of
fifty years ago
Anyway, it was nice to drive
those country roads again, even
in an automobile, and spend a
nostalgia hour in the locale Of
our younger days.

Reflections From An

Last fall we made a trip East
ard visited some CT the old men,
cry places in Eastern Montana,
along the way. We visited rela-
tives and ole friends; took a
look at the old homestead and
gazed for g moment at the site
where the shack that was home
so many years ago. We drove
down some of the old neighbor-
hood roads and marvelled how
little some things had changed.
From the bank of the nearby
river the view was exactly the
same. The skyline of Bad Lands,
beyond, had not changed one
iota.
But many things have chang

Going to grandma's house can be quite
an experience in itself. Particularly when
grandma lives on the farm and raised a
large family.
After we all got settled down l survey
ed the situation. Outside it looked like a
used car lot and inside it had all the ap-
pearances of an %orphanage.
Then on Thanksgiving Day came the
big noon meal and the pumpkin pies. l
joined the "How to Win Friends" club
that day. Granddad hoisted a piece on his
plate that looked entirely different thar
the other pies. Thinking it had beer baked
by the wife's mother, | loudly said:
"Well grandpa, if you're not sick after
that one I'll try some"
Then came the silence. | later learned
it was baked by an elderly aunt who
was seated about two chairs down from
me.
Have you noticed how pumpkin pie and
kids go together? They seem to get more
on their faces than in their mouths. And
they're always the last ones to finish
eating whenever there's pie on the table.
We had n at the table who piled out
of his chair covered with pumpkin pie
and his mother said-"Go and play with
your uncle Cliff"
Now there's two Cliffs in the family

It won't be long and Christmas will be
on us again. Many people are LOOKING Tor
ward to the occasion when families VIII
get together at the close OF another year.
Not wanting to seem like IN old scrooge
| have been agreeing with the wife that
it would be a good idea to visit my side OF
the grandparents since we were with the
other grandparents for Thanksgiving.
But | look upon the trip of some 4OO
miles with mixed emotions after having
gone through something similar at
Thanksgiving.
It took about five minutes to get the
two kids in the car Zone just 3 and the
other 115) and another hour to load all
the Junk that must accompany them
whenever we leave the house for more
than an hour.
Things looked like they might go off
okay until we got about five miles out OF
Sidney. Then the three-year-old, the girl,
discovered that she didn't have her
"bankee". Whenever this happens it
causes sheer panic and Illustration, so we
had to return for the blanket. By that
time the bow had fins he'd his bottle, so
we had to refill that at the same time.

Chairman
Chides Aired
Commercials

NEW YORK, Sept. "a (AP)
e. William Henry, chairman
OF the Federal Communications
Commission, cautioned broad
casters today that the time has
come for the FEC to spell out
what 1t means by overcommer-
cialization.
In his maiden speech to the
International Radio and Tele-
vision Society since taking over
the FEC helm from Newton N.
Minow, Mr.. Henry said that
that the commission has relied
for SO years on vague policy
and definitions in condemning
-commercialization in ra-
dio and television.
1T Is time, and past time,
to get specific-to bring this
policy down out Of the clouds
and into the homes Of viewers
and listeners" he said.
Asks Time Ceiling
Last spring the FEC proposed
rules to put a ceiling on the
amount of time used for COM
mercial advertising on radio
and television, and invited
comment. Mr.. Henry said he
hoped the industry would rec
ognize the seriousness of the
matter and respond.
He said in his prepared adj
dress that the FEC would keep
broadcasters interests fully in
mind.
Advertising provides finan-
cial support for programs of all
kinds, Mr.. Henry said, "but
when 1t began to interfere I'M
duly with the program or
to Illustrate by interruption
the enjoyment and understand
ing the public gets out of them
we have a real problem"
Industry Unheeding
He said the television in
dustry had failed to heed
warnings about clutter hamper
irg the effectiveness of adver-
Using. 1T is still, in a very
large measure, addicted to mas
sive doses Of clutter at the sta
ton break" he said.
Broadcasting code boards
have done very well, he said,
but. added:
THE strength Of ones con-
science in this area is too often
directly related to ones profit
picture-and the seal of good
practice will, I'm afraid, always
have to compete with the seal
Of the United States Treasurer"
He said the "teaser opening"
is one aspect of commercial to
which the public strongly OBJ
jects and is virtually untouched
by the broadcasting codes. He
gave this as an example Of the
teaser:
Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen. The President has
just asked the Congress to de.
clare war. Well be back with
that story after a word from
our sponsor"
Mr.. Henry said he respected
those who fear that Govern
ment intervention would re-
move the industry's incentive
to keep its own house clean.
But he added, II think it clear
that appropriate Government
action should not and will not
undercut self-regulation gen.
orally"
