Thoughts
about
Things
BY Paula Tardy

Nc matter what your age,
l think you'd find a visit to
the Zaa' as pleasurable an eX'
perience as l did.
When you get in your teens
you begin to feet that it's a
disgrace to be seen at a Zoo;
that it's childish and degrad.
inf, but actually it isn't
the ZOO is simply a public
place to go for enjoyment.
The Jackson zoo is a good
example,:
The ZOO in our capital city
is the right size not SO
small that it's undressing,
and not large enough to be-
come hopelessly lost in. Owe
been through that experience
in a ZOO elsewhere).
The animals are charming
of course it helps if you
LIKE animals. My favorltes
are the tigers and the polar
bear and the ostriches and
the owls. The tigers because
of their beautiful markings,
and the. ostriches because
they're so friendly. You can't
help but like the polar bear
because he enjoys life SO
much. He has his own cool
little pool where he swims
from morning till night
he pulls himself up at the
end of the pool and glides
backwards with his head in
the water, his feet out Of the
water, and a contented smile
on his face. The owl fasci,
mates me because they can
turn their heads completely
around without moving their
bodies at all.
And, of course, it's always
fun to feed the ducks and
geese because they're always
voracious. Hippottamus are a.
musing, too, because they're
80 big and lazy, and, usually
as contented as the polar
bear.
The anteater very obligingly
will oot ontc for the visitors.
although III never understand
hew he developed a craving
for anything that repulsive.
I like g~iraffes, too, because
in spite of their height, they
are, in my opinion, very pois.
ed and they're SO pretty.
Perhaps one of the most
entertaining things about the

POWER PREFERENCE
FOR MONTANA

Montana Jared very we'll in the
passage of bill to guarantee electric
consumers first call on the power pro-
duced by hydroelectric plants in that
region and to permit electric consum-
ers in other regions participating in
the Pacific Northwest power pool to
the extent of surplus dump power.
Montana's reservation of Hungry
Horse power was preserved.
Additionally, Montana west of the
continental divide is a full partici-
pant in the firm power of the Column
bia Basin. There is another plus for
Montana in that the bill provides for
full participation in the firm power
supply for that part of Montana up
to rs air miles east of the divide.
This all means that Hungry Horse
Dam could be linked with the Missouri
Basin power supply and that the
Bonneville power line connecting
Noxon and Anaconda could be linked
with Canyon Ferry, and Canyon Ferry
in turn with the Missouri Basin pow
er of the Bureau of Reclamation.
There is one fly in the ointment,
in that amendment to the House bill
which hope the Senate will not ac-
cept, forbids the construction of fed
eral power lines unless Congress au-
thorizes specific grant. This House
amendment would take away long
established authority from the Sec
rotary of the Interior-to build fed
eral power lines where necessary and
as appropriations are provided by
Congress.
feel ng-distance transmission
lines linking the federal power
sources in Montana could be an
additional incentive for industry to
come to Montana and make more
jobs for our people.

He records some slight progress

The treaty has been signed by repre-

Hearings brought out that there
are some 10000 water supply sys-

In addition, industrial wastes, equal
to the pollution of 60 million per-

waters.
In 1861 the President signed into
law water pollution measure, based
on the Administrations proposals,
which authorized 1910 million in fed
eral aid over a period of seven years,
the major provisions of which were !:
1. Increase the present $50 million
annual authorization for federal
grants-in-aid for sewage treatment
plants to $50 million in fiscal 1862,
500 million in fiscal 1868 and to
500 million each in fiscal years 1864
through 1867. Earmark half the funds
for communities of $4,000 popula-
ton or less. Increases the maximum
federal grant to 100000 or 5000
of the cost of the project, whichever
is less.
2. Extend federal pollution abate-
ment authority to all interstate and
navigable waters; authorize Depart
ment of Health, Education and We'll
fare ito investigate intrastate pollu-
tion and make recommendation for
abatement if requested to do so by
the Governor of the State.

In MILWAUKEE JOURNAL


WASHINGTON, - Progress
toward outlawing capital pun.
ishment in the United States
has been slow since Wisconsin
abolished it 10 years ago, but
the efforts to rule it out con-
tinue, on federal and state
levels.
Representative Abraham J. Multer.
Democrat, of New York, has again
introduced his bill to abolish the
death penalty in all federal jurisdic-
lions except the military services and
cases of treason. The Brooklyn Con-
gresham proposed the same measure
in the last session of Congress but it
never got out of the House Judiciary
Committee.
A proposal by Representative Adam
Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.), to amend
the Constitution to abolish the death
penalty throughout the United States
also died in committee last year and
has not been reintroduced.
MOST EXECUTIONS
ARE OF THE POOR
Multer argued that the death PEN
atty is unfair because most executions
are of poor people, who cannot af-
ford expert legal help.
In this view he is supported by
Representative Robert w. HASTEN
meier (D-Wis.), a member of the
Judiciary Committee, who favors
Multer's proposal over Powell's be-
cause it would be easier to enact.
The Watertown Congressman OPP
poses capital punishment for the adj
ditional reasons that it does not, in |
his opinion, deter crime, it results
in the execution of innocent persons,
and because society is amply pro-
tected by life imprisonment.
Kastenmeier said that if legislation |
to abolish the death penalty is passed
at the federal level it will do much
to set moral example for the states.
The fact that of 1872 executions
by electrocution, gas, hanging, or
by firing squad since 1880,
only 81 have been in federal cases.
InfHction of the death penalty is
now authorized by laws of the fed
eral government, az states, and the
District of Columbia.

MICHIGAN FIRST STATE
TO ABOLISH

Wisconsin abolished capital pun
ishment in 1853, following similar
action by Michigan in 1847 and
Rhode Island in 1852. Maine did the
