the county officers are there to take

another lien or two shouldn't bother
them. Then in terminal cases death
if a person is mentally responsible

help him sign his property over

costs of the last breath, he noted.
That this bill was hastily drawn
seemed evident from the fact that
so eager were the sponsors to es-
tablish the relative responsibility,
the lien and penalties for fraud
they included them twice.
This little bit of socialized medi-
cine, the committee was told, is far
superior to the King-Anderson ap-
proach because it simply includes all
costs of. an illness whereas the for
mer is only disqualification.
The Montana Medical Association
testimony in favor of this bill is an
other indication that it is "panic but
ton" legislation. Most legislators had
received letters from the NINA prev
ious to the session saying they were
in favor of something that used the
Kerr-Mills method of medical care,
which includes the participation of
the state with federal matching funds.
At the hearing their executive secre-
tary admitted that they had changed
horses.
The proponents said this bill would
help establish whether there was a
need in Montana" for some medical
care for the aged. Lucas said "this
is being seized upon by other states
in the union" as an example of what
the states could do. Il hope they don't

Thursday morning was ar
historic occasion when the Sen
ate by a 31-25 margin, voted to
abolish capital punishment in
Montana.
Following hearing before Sen
ate Judiciary Committee the bill re-
ceived a "do-pass'' recommendation
and also passed the general debate
stage to reach a final vote in that
legislative body.
This legislation has been presented
many times to the lawmakers in Mon
tana, but has never reached the floor
of either body for discussion by way
of favorable committee vote.
When it reached the floor of the
Senate this week it was hardly given
the full debate the seriousness of the
issue deserves to claw away the preju-
dices involved, but opponents to Capt.
tai Punishment feel the progress made
is some indication of thought on the
issue, regardless of the final out
come of the vote.
Senators Theissen (D-Richland)
and McElwain (R-PowelI) spoke
against the bill which was supported
and introduced by Senator McKeon
(D-Deer LODGE.
The restraint evident in the chance
to fully debate the issue indicates
the emotionalism involved.

Montana fish and game en-
thusiasts and the Jaycees are
not the only ones concerned
over the single-mindedness of
highway builders which many
times destroys valuable fishing
waters and wildlife haunts.
Here in Montana, Senator STEMS
SIR 9 (see story elsewhere) and two
legislative bills, SB As by Durkee
and others, and HB 1917 by Haines
ct al, all point up in varying degrees
the growing concern over the single
purpose viewpoint of highway Off
Gals, which results in disrupting,
and/or destroying the
fishing resources which belongs to
all the people.
Both SB As and lib 161 would
place the Fish & Game Commits
sion in an advisory role, to investi-
gate and determine the effects of
stream disruption from whatever
the man-made cause, on the fish
ing resource. Both bills provide for

METCALF, OLSEN MOVE
ON PROBLEM
At the same time legislation to
help protect fish, wildlife and rec
reation resources from damage due
to construction of federal aid high
ways r. !" has been introduced
in both houses Of Congress by Sem
Lee Metcalf and Rep. Arnold Olsen-
Metcalf's bill, which Olsen's gem
orally parallels, would provide for
approval by the Secretary of Interior
of federal aid highway plans involv-
ing fish, wildlife or recreation re-
sources" Under the bill, the Secre-
tary "would consult with appropriate
state bureaus before approving such
highway plans !. :"
Metcalf's bill is identical to his
SOS-Save Our Streams proposal
which he introduced in the 87th Con-
gress, and which died in the Senate
Public Works Committee with the
adjournment of Congress last fall.
His 1862 bill received expressions of
strong support from all parts of the
country, and it was actively backed by
nearly every major national conser-
walton organization.
In reintroducing the bill, Metcalf
stated that damage to fish, wildlife
and recreation resources due to fed
eral aid highway construction is a
serious problem which we can no
longer afford to ignore. 1t is a prob
lem demanding immediate attention
if we are to preserve these fast dis
natural resources.
But, said Metcalf, the problem of
stream damage from highway con-
struction cannot be solved by federal
action alone. The solution will come
only through cooperation with the
various states.
1--WE can take big step in the
right direction at the federal level
by providing that the Secretary of
Interior approve federal-aid high
way projects before they are
started. In this way" Metcalf said,
''we could be sure that fish, wild
life and recreation resources would
be protected in highway construc-
ton using federal funds"

Two proposals on the same SUBJ

is a chance this session Montana will
finally get an air pollution law on
the books, because as Sen. Luke Nc

Senator R. T. O'Neill, committee
chairman, had to rap his knuckles on
the table continually to keep order
as opponents from the big industries
constantly interrupted the hearing.

just fine. That's the way to promote

FEARS GROUNDLESS
This type of thinking was squelched
by DIR. John Anderson and his staff
from the Board of Health. There is
no lawless haven for our air-fouling
industries to flee to. Other states are
just as concerned about the air pol

nomic arguments were presented in
favor of adjustment of the death
penalty by five witnesses.
Statistics proving that the death
penalty did not serve as a deterrent
to murder were presented to the COM

Martin correctly predicted the
Maryland-N North Carolina score
and had an exact point spread
in three other games as he won
the fifth weekly contest. The
Kensington insurance salesman
whose son Gary is Einstein's

ten games.

grand prize at seasons end. an

Army-Navy game in PhiladeE
phia. Paluch, who won the con-
test two weeks ago, was second
this week, and second by slight
margin.
Paluch, a student manager at
Richard Montgomery, also pre-
dicted eight of the ten winners
and also had the Maryland
North Carolina game correct.
He was not so close as Martin
on the other games and so was
placed second.
Another Rocket student,
Dougie Coleman is SIS richer by
placing third. He also was eight
for ten with no correct scores.
Interestingly enough, all three
winners missed the same two
games and that's no surprise.

but not convincingly, to the
Rockets, rs. But they came
back to whip Whitman in a

Wetzel in the same instant.
Walter Johnson, unbeaten and
unsecured on in three games, ran

tans went to Rockville, resumed

its tight defense Saturday, so
Roy Testers offense can't look
forward to a breather.
While the Double A league
takes on the aspects of top
going round and round, the non

show each Saturday that rating,
forecasting and trying to figure
