Big Battin VS.. Federal
Government

What are the possibilities of unseat-
ing Big Battin from Montana's East
ern Congressional District? Many farm
ers who are aware of his extremist
position and disapprove, still are vot-
ing for Battin. This can only be be-
cause Battin has capitalized on the
delayed rebellion of farmers against
policies of the Ike-Benson adminis-
tration. This has now become a re-
bellion against federal government it,
self; a rebellion fostered and led by
Birch Society forces. The Acreage Re-
duction Farm Program LIS the core of
this rebellion. 1t was and Is reducing
farmers out of business. The logical
answer is a bushe1 allotment farm
program, allowing each family to sell
enough bushels to provide themselves
with adequate yearly income. An equit-
able bushel allotment would greatly
reduce the amount of wheat on the
eliminate storage costs to our
government and provide bui1t-in crop
insurance for farmers.
Big Battin is using the farmers
plight for political gain and to spear
head the drive of the extremist Right
Wing against our federal government.
The great goal of democracy is to re-
spond to the need of it's people. The
policy the Ike-Benson us. Depart.
ment of Agriculture was to reduce
farmers out of business. The Kennedy
administration must find a way to
substitute bushel allotment for acre |
age allotment. Unless this is done, |

A University Must Teach
Young to Think

This is but a short note to backstop
the recent Gully 19) letter of Professor
Edmund Freeman in the PEOPLES
VOICE. Professor Freeman was the
conscience of the Missoula faculty when
my father taught at MSU (192O-27)
and he was the conscience of the facu1-
ty when I was teaching on that campus
C954-58). 1t is good to note that though
retired from the University, he has
not retired from speaking out.
University is community of
scholars dedicated to the principle of
making students think. The admins
tration of university has very little
to do with this whole process and If
1T is wise administration it will
recognize this fact and stay out of the
way. Thomas Jefferson left the Uni
versity of Virginia the legacy of hav-
ing no president and the university
got along quite well for more than
one hundred years by so doing. We
are, however, living in the age of adj
ministrators and since we cannot do
without them, we can, at least, choose
them with care and caution and know
ahead of time what we expect of them.
A good administrator understands that
the teaching faculty is the heart and
soul of college. A poor administrator |
seeks to run roughshod over this |
principle and the result is always and |
everywhere the ruin of faculty and |
student morale and the debasement |
of the university reputation. This is |
a basic fact of academic life and woe /
to those who fail to grasp the meaning. /

dent. This is as it should be, providing /

Babcock Doesn't Speak
For Majority of Montanans

Honorable Everett Dirksen, U.S.S.
Senate Office Building
Washington rs, d. C.
Dear Senator:
A recent convention of this District
Council instructed me to write you to
advise that the Governor of Montana
is not representing the majority of
citizens of the State in his opposition
to Knowles Dam.
This organization has been repre-
sented in the many hearings held on
the Paradise-Knowles project. 1t has
seen groups representing a substan-
t1al majority of the citizens of the state
and preponderance of citizens in the
area affected by the Dam testifying
as proponents.
We suggest that you rely on the
Judgment of your colleagues in the
Senate, Mr.. Mansfield and Mr.. Metcalf
concerning the desire of the people
of Montana and whether or not the
Knowles project is beneficial to the
state and to the nation.
For correct representation of the
attitude of the general public in the
area in which Knowles Dam would
be located we refer you to the con-
gresham from the Western Congress
sional District, Arnold Olsen. Respect
fully yours - ROBERT C. WELLER,
Kalispell, Executive Secretary Montana

ferently.
