Thirteen Democrats, via House
Joint Resolution IL, have asked fell
low House members to join them in
urging the Congress to approve the
tax cut legislation proposed by Presi-
dent Kennedy.

grow only when the Individual men,
Der of this society has ample funds
to provide the needed purchasing
power to sustain that strength and
encourage that growth" HJR IL con-
tends the proposed federal tax cuts
twill allow numerous low and mod
crate income citizens ito retain a
greater portion of his income -
and that, if approved, such cuts will
materially aid "the prosperity of the

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN C. BILLINGS

is going to say, "See, we told you
there are no old people in Montana
who need medical CARE.
The Republican leadership has la
mented the "robbing of the state
treasury when bills requiring any
where from $24,000 to $250,000 have
been proposed. Just where they are
going to dig up their measly $780,
600 to bail their Governor out on this
one is somewhat of a mystery.
There has been so much mystery
surrounding the activities of Joe
Kelly as he wanders around town and
most recently around the lobby Of the
Capitol, had to ask him what he is
doing, the other day.
Many of you will remember Joe
when he was running the first cam
paign of Leo Graybill, Jr., for Con-
gress.
Well, he has been operating around
Helena from what people said were
his headquarters" in the Railroad
and Public Service Commission. From
as many people as you cared to ask
you could get as many surmises or
guesses as to what Joe is doing.
That he was ON some sort of fell
lowship everyone agreed. He was
working ON paper on the operation
of the Public Service Commission;
no. he was working ON Paul Smiths
campaign for Governor; or did some
one say he was lobbying some piece
of legislation through?
Whatever his objective, it just did
MT seem right that all he was doing
was walking around talking to people.
But, Joe tells me, that is exactly
what he is doing. Walking around
talking to people. He has fellow
ship, given to professors of political
science, so they can spend time at
he grass roots learning what politics
S made of, from politicians and peo-
de.
1t seems so sort of unbelievable
hat some have been won't to disbe-
ieve. But Joe showed me the list

isor in 1860, James E. Webb, adj

EDUCATIONAL director, international
aides Garment Workers Union, and
dozen or so more national figures.
To teach politics, Joe says, the

bout how it works. The assignment

lore fun when Joe was mysterious.

In a rare display of farm or
ganization unity, Montana
Farmers Union and Montana
Farm Bureau, have joined to-
gether in opposing the creation
of a Wheat Commission.
Hearings were held on the wheat
bureau proposal Glib 112 by Hanks,
Smiley, Leuthold, Asbjornson and
Smiley by Rep. Leuthold's House
Agriculture Committee last Thurs
day afternoon.
Supporting this fourth attempt to
create a wheat commission in addi-
ton to principal sponsor Rep. Hanks,
were officers of Montana Grain
Growers, Larry Erpelding, Forsyth,
president, and John Skarda, Fort
Benton, secretary; and Montana State
Grange, represented by Master Win

Senator from Lincoln county.
Farm Bureau opposition was ex-
pressed in person by President Hank

Indians Split Sharply Over
Crin1innI-Ci Jurisdiction

House Bill 55 came near to
instigating some Indian wars
during the past week, with all
but one of the tribes opposing
the bill and the Flatheads sup
porting it.
/ According to Rep. Turnage (R-
Lake, HB 55 would allow the State
of Montana to extend criminal and FOR
civil jurisdiction over Indian land
and people by proclamation of the
Governor, after the tribes have re-
quested it and with the consent of
the Board of County Commissioners
of each county which encompasses
any portion of the reservation of such
tribe or tribes.
| The Lake county representative
told the House the bill does not force
lany tribe to accept state Jurisdiction
unless it wants to do so; and that
If at any time within two years after
the state assumed jurisdiction a tribe
thought its best interests were not
being served it could ask the state
to withdraw.
In spite OF amendments that Tur-
mage said were 'built in protection"
and would take care of the objections
of some of the tribes, opposition will
follow the bill into the State Senate.
The tribes in opposition insisted
the bill was unconstitutional: that if
enacted it would impose large costs
on the State of Montana and the
counties; would violate fundamental
principles of self-determination and
lose important federal benefits to the
tribes, to Montana and to the counties
in which the reservations are located
They contend the cost of law and
order alone for all Indian reserya-
lions in Montana is estimated at
about 100000 a year.
In debate on the floor of the House
Rep. Hawks (R-Big H6rn) stated the
people in his county were afraid the
federal government will tell the
tribes they no longer have jurisdic-
ton so they will pull out. eve can

ANA Using Casey, Kildare
To Win More Public Appeal

BALTIMORE, Md.-(PAI-Wher

such as DR.. Casey and DR.. Kildare
to build up it's image, even the staid
BALTIMORE SUN is left screaming.
The SUN noted Wall Street
JOURNAL article which reported that
the ANA is now advising both NBC-
TV and ABC-TV on both the medical
techniques as well as plots on the
two television programs.
The WSJ reported:
Through little-known but power
full committee of 13 doctors, the
ANA is reviewing almost all the
scripts for the growing number of
medical shows on TV."
Not content with assuring that the
programs are using accepted medical
techniques, the ANA committee has
gone so far as to demand change in
script.
One example given was a Ben
Casey plot in which doctor was
painted in a bad light. The ANA COM
mittee protested but the producer in
sisted the script was realistic. The
committee then went to the medical
advisor of the Chrysler Corporation,
sponsor of the show, who killed it.
DR.. Benjamin Frees of Chrysler
was quoted as saying: 81 talked to
Detroit and had the show called off.

deavor? Whatever they see on the
screen, people are apt to judge real
life by real life. They think well of
doctors when they are we'll cared for
by them, badly when they feel they
have been treated badly. If the ANA
confines itself to doctoring patients
and leaves the doctoring of plots
alone. it will more easily win friends
for its point of view.
The Wall Street JOURNAL article,
explaining just how the ANA oper-
ates, observed:
'The efforts of the ANA physi-
clans advisory committee are par
ticularly significant now because the
1905 OO-membe ANA is seeking pub
lie support of the profession in the
probable showdown ahead over medi-
cal care for the aged under Social
Security.
''To the ANA, the Kennedy Adj
plan is the entering
wedge to socialized medicine"
The business newspaper also
warned that the networks, which have
been anxious about fire they have
been receiving from the Federal Com
Commission, might be in
for some more hot water.

UNNECESSARY NEW
COMMISSION

Farm Bureau spokesman opposed
HB 112 in it's entirety because: (1)
it would establish new commission
and there are already too many such
agencies completely outside the juris-
diction and control of the legislature
(2) election of commission members
would be a costly process 90 the
one-fourth cent tax is compulsory
and therefor is form of dues check

to receive gifts, and that condition
already prevails so far as research

that marketing is being handled by
several federal agencies and the farm

value out of a new agency. Opponents
also questioned how a commission
could advance research and market
ing when no evidence is available to
show that similar commissions in
other states have achieved either OBJ

In reply to a query the Grain

| Even among some of the members
of the Flathead Tribe, which is the
only Tribal Council supporting the
bill, there is worry and concern over
the legislation based on the fear ex-
pressed by Rep Hawks.
These people have stated they do
not oppose this bill as such, nor what
it is supposed to accomplish. Their
fear, they say, is that in another ses-
sion, after the financial burden to
state and county government becomes
felt, the drive will be to impose taxa
ton, move in on their fishing and
hunting rights. etc.
While there is prohibition in this
bill against this sort of thing it only
states that this bill shall not be con-
strued or used to tax or infringe on
historic Indian Treaty rights.

similar to those used in passing HB
