Jobs Must
Be First


Jobs must be our first con-
Germ in our efforts to preserve
and expand our competitive
free enterprise system in Mon
tana," John E. Tenge of Bill
lingS, president of the Montana
Chamber of Commerce, said at
a meeting in Sidney last week.
Tenge spoke at one of a ser
les of nine regional meetings
conducted by the organization
with the cooperation Of local
Chamber and civic organiza-
tons. Other speakers were E.
G.. Kellner, business manager
and secretary-treasurer, and
Sam Gilluly, publications man
ager and editor of the Mon
tana Citizen. Both are staff
members in the Chambers
state office in Helena.
IF our Jobs problem is
properly solved. I believe
that most of our other
problems will fall into
line" Tenge, Billings bank
er said.
Montana private enterprise
employment declined by $500
in the decade between 1886
and 1860. At the same time, the
number of government employ
es increased by 10000. While
there has been an accelerated
gain in free enterprise payrolls
between 1860 and 1862 as well
as growing industrial invest
ment in Montana, the states
economy still should support
more workers, Tenge added.

Court May Fix

By JERRY KLINE
Star staff Writer

Alexandria school officials
will ask the Corporation Court
on December 4 to grant the
city immediate permission to
build the T. c. Williams High
School on privately owned
property in the Midtown area.
A report on school popula-
ton figures is being prepared
to support the school boards
contention that early construc-
ton and opening Of the 1000
pupil school is "a matter of
emergency" Supt. John c. Al
bohm said last night.
The SAB million school will
be erected as part of the Mud
town urban renewal program.
The Alexandria Redevelopment
and Housing Authority. which
is responsible for executing the
renewal program, has asked
the court to give contractors
immediate access to three prop
critics which the city has not
been able to purchase so far.
While sales negotiations con-
tinue or, If necessary, condem-
nation proceedings get under
way, the school board could re-
ceive construction bids and
work may begin next March If
the court gives access to the
land, DR.. Albohm said.
Three homes are located on
the properties, but 1t would not
be necessary to demolish them
Immediately, he said after the
meeting. The city seeks only
access rights to the sites for
construction work, he said.
Board Member Herbert M.
Early said If construction is de-
layed, double shifts might be
required at other high schools.
In other action, the board
voted to let the city use a 81
acre undeveloped portion of
the jefferson School tract to
build a $755,67O housing devel-
opment for middle-in o m e

the January agreement was ar

Under the January, 1862
agreement, the developers
promised to provide Mr.. Barnes
with a house substantially
equivalent" to the one he con-
tracted to buy in October, 1861
Mr.. Barnes sued the develop
ers for damages in october,
1862, charging they had vio-
lated two agreements to sell
him his $4,000 dream house. "
During the civil action last
summer, Mr.. Barnes testified
that he signed what he thought
was a sales contract for a
house in october, 1861, and a
second agreement three months
later for the same house or an
identical one on an equivalent
lot in the 42-house develop
ment.
He said the developers re-
turned his $1,000 deposit and
told him it would be harm
full economically" for them to
sell him a house. He rejected
a substitute house offered by
the builders because it was
poorly located on a smaller lot
without the trees and view Of
the original house.
In December. 1862, Judge
Thomson enjoined the devel-
opers from selling one of the
houses in the subdivision until
the Barnes case was decided

RICHMOND, Nov. Elbow
not to get ahead in Virginia
politics while really trying was
explained to members of the
General Assembly yesterday by
a retiring legislator who knew
whereof he spoke.
The lesson came from State
Senator Armistead Boothe of
Alexandria, who told colleagues
he was giving up the exciting
mistress" of politics for my
faithful love" Of practicing law.
He did not seek reelection this
year.
And in parting, he had a few
words to say about the ups and
downs of his political career
which saw him fall out with
the dominant Democratic Or
ganization of United States
Senator Byrd to become a
leader Of the opposition forces.
The lawmaker, who made an
unsuccessful race for Lieuten-
ant Governor two years ago.
declared, 81 am out: Out for
good, finally and irrevocably.
The reason is to devote myself
entirely to the practice of law
To me politics is an exciting
mistress: Law is my favorite
love"
/ Mr.. Boothe recalled that he
was serving as e naval officer
in the Pacific in 1914 when he
encountered a fellow officer
Harry F. Byrd, jr., now a State
Senator and son of the United
States Senator, who urged him
to go into politics.
! Harry, I'll do it." Mr.. Boothe
said.
He was elected to the House
in 1913, and, according to his
account, one of the first things
that happened to him was that
the House Speaker asked him
