profitable in the Midwest "Bible
Belt" area. He, too, is crossing over
a million dollars a year, McCune re-
ports. Hargis also finds condemning
labor and the Farmers Union an i'm

Most of these organizations are

GAINING STRENGTH
Organized reaction has, in McCune's
estimation. made definite political
gains both at the Congressional level
and in number of states, including
Montana. The "ultras" are also grad
ually attracting more people TO their
"anti" this-n-that banners, and, in
McCune's opinion "we're in for
long period" before the public tires
and such groups begin to die out.
This is no new phenomenon, said
Mcclure. "ever since the country was
formed" we've had these groups gain
and decline, particularly during peri
DDS of tension.
McCune also outlined to his au-
cience how a parent" organization
spawns or assists in setting up various
fronts" to suit any particular occa-
sion and area.
The Committee of One Million, he
said, is an excellent example. 1t has
as it's main purpose the barring of
recognition of Red China. But, to
reach further, COM has an "educa-
tionaI' arm known as Asian-African
1t was all for the big Euro
pean copper interests and Tshombe
so it set up the Committee to Aid
Katanga Freedom Fighters. Yet an
other "front" for COM, he reported,
is the Committee TO Aid Chinese
Refugees. Still another is the Com
mittee for the Monroe Doctrine which
has as its purpose the arousing of
to the Kennedy policy on
Cuba. -..,,,.s.,

By E. L. MARVIN, Missoula
At the Authors Club in Mssoula
there was vigorous debate the other
night between Humanists and Scien-
fists about the things that matter most
IN the life of man. AS a contest it
was just about draw Now
comes news that Mariner II has re-
ported that Venus has no magnetism
What blow to the Humanist tradi-
ton! Those spoil-sport Scientists
Poets, arise! You have nothing to lose
but your reins!
The ordinary reader of the daily
papers is often set to bordering about
the way the news dispatches are Sc
lected and displayed. For example,
the Muscular of December 27, 1862,
had front page story ON the demo-
ton of Ignatov, the Russian deputy
premier who was in charge of the
drive to increase food production.
A picture of the unfortunate official
was placed at the top of the page,
where no eye could miss it, and the
headline said, Farm Expert Is Out"
In the same issue of the Muscular
ON page %, the last page, there was
G little item about our u. S. Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Orville L. Free
man, who had told President Ken
nedy about the difficulty of getting
ecross to the farmers the proper pic
ture of our agricultural program and
it's benefits. He spoke of ga general
Misunderstanding o f agriculture,
compounded by a strongly COP
oriented press. He pointed out that
farm income in 1862 was $25 billion
higher than in 1860.
So the reader can ponder this
front-page, back-page arrangement of
news, and what it implies about the
motives of editors and the nature of
man. Is it really true that the Ameri-
IAN public would prefer to gloat over
A shortage of food in Russia, and
not surprising change in the official
family there, than to face up to a
shortage of information about our
own affluent society? And if it is
rue that we have this streak of mean

Don't answer those questions;
