BOTH ON IMPORTANT
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEES

'He failed to point out that
both the Democratic members of
Congress are members of the all
important Public Works Committee,
committee perhaps more important
to Montana than the Interior Commit
tee. By custom, a Senator or Con-
gresham generally cannot serve on
both committees. The peculiar thing
about the Governors statement, how
ever, is that he made no mention of
the fact that Republican Congress
man Battin is member of neither
the Interior or Public Works Com
mittees, and it is my information that
he has made no attempt to get on
either committee.
perhaps" said Erickson, sit
may not be amiss to request the
Governor-if he really means what
he says about the importance of
the Interior Committee-to try to
persuade Mr.. Battin to give up the
Foreign Affairs Committee and
get on the Interior Committee. The
only important committee post
Congressman Battin has is on For
eign Affairs. The Governor should
remember the old adage that peo-
pie who live in glass houses should
be careful when they are throwing
rocks about.

A MOST IMPORTANT
COMMITTEE TO MONTANANS

SIN his speech, the Governor sug-
gests that service by Senator Metcalf
on the Health, Welfare and Labor
Committee was not in the best inter-
ests of the people of Montana. The
thousands of Montana citizens who
labor in the mines, in the forests and
in industry, generally, probably don't
agree with the Governor. Neither
would those who are retired and are
drawing Social Security. 1t is hard
to imagine committee whose work is
more important to Montanans gen.
orally.
''As 1 have in the past, again
suggest that the Governor has all he
can possibly do to take care of his
own responsibilities as Governor of
this State. Senator Metcalf and Con-
gresham Olsen have been elected and
reelected and / think the people of
Montana can decide whether they
are adequately fulfilling their re-
spective duties without any lectures
from Mr.. Babcock," Erickson con-

looked boyish. determined.

For their part, the cartoon

material for years OF skillful
doodling stood before them.

1T WORKS sort of like
this:
Each executive who will
play some part in the project
estimates how long it will
take him to complete a par
ticular phase of the work.
His role is broken down on a
day-by-day or month-by-
month basis.
The whole plan is then put
down on paper, from begin
ming to end. The big boss
can see at a glance where
the project will be, or should
be, on Christmas Day a year
from now, as an example.
Each sub-executive, mean
while, knows exactly what
every other sub-executive
should be doing at any given
period. He also knows at
what point his responsible
ties become greater-at what
point the ball will be passed
to him.
The chart also spotlights
slack" periods for an indi-
vidual or department, and
this enables the boss to see
at what time he might have
extra resources available
during the life Of the project.
All this information is fed
into the computer. AS the
project begins, there can be
weekly reports on each ex-
ecutive's progress. This too,
goes into the computer.
The boss, in a matter OF
minutes, using the computer,
can find out who hasn't met
a deadline-and then, why.

talking to Senator Byrd that
there was an "unbridgeable
chasm" between the Senator
and him on certain aspects OF

he planned then to withdraw
his application.
