WASHINGTON AND
"SMALL BUSINESS’’
By C. WILSON HARDER
As this is written, whether or
not Congress is able to force out
in the open the so-called Gaither
Report is a moot question.
* * *
In line with the policy of the
past few years of seeking to keep
the public in ignorance, this re
port, purporting to show horren
dous facts con- ?

enough of this
report had ISiH
leaked out to c^V. Harder
indicate it would be used as a
spearhead to get billions more
dollars voted for defense.
• * *
Senator Lyndon Johnson of
Texas has held the report should
be made public.
♦ • •
Yet, release of report may be
as big a fizzle as first U. S. at

ative Wall Street Journal recently
intimated, from advance leaks of
the Gaither Report there appears
nothing startling in iU contents.

The report makes great store
of the fact that the Russian
industrial capacity is making
greater gains than the expansion
of American industry.
» * *
Obviously, with an industrial
plant at a very low stage of de
velopment compared to U. S.
standards, if Russia in increas
ing at all. it is increasing at a
greater rate of increase.
* • •
Thus, the Gaither Report will
probably fall into one of tvo
categories. Either it will develop
that it is purely and simply a
massive propaganda effort to get
more foreign aid appropriations,
more government spending, or it

Among those attending the Gol-
may come up with some hidden
facts to show that the U. S. de
fenses are quite inadequate.
* * *
If the latter turns out to be
the case, then it can be expected
that Congress will launch some
very stern inquiries to try to de
termine just what has happened
to the many, many billions voted
for defense purposes over the
past ten years.
* * *
And in view of the fact that
Washington burcacrats kept this
report secret for so long, the
reverberations could be big.
* * *
And likewise, by the same to
ken, if it is found that these same
bureaucrats made a big produc
tion out of this report in an at
tempt to “cry wolf” to scare
more and more funds out of
Congress, they are not going to
look too good, either.
• • •
In other words, these bureau
crats have. backed themselves
into a tight corner and no matter
which way the events turn, they
are not going to look good.
* • *
And there is an ever growing
public opinion that is casting a
skeptical eye at these repeated
governmental attempts to keep
secrets from the people.
* * *
It was just such “goings-on”
carried out in secrecy that re
sulted in Pearl Harbor,
* * *
In addition, there is a strong
desire in Congress to find out just
what value, if any, has been re
ceived from the many billions
poured into foreign aid.
• * *
While there is no truth in the
rumor that foreign aid bureau
crats want to give out free beer
on f indays in Tasmania to pre
ve it the natives there from ac
quiring a taste for Russian vod
ka and thus attaining commu
nist leanings, there are grave sus
picions billions have been spent
with no more valid reasoning.
Predator Research
Worker Assigned
Robert L. Brown, native of Wis
consin and graduate of Montana
State University at Missoula, re
cently assumed his new duties as
a predator research worker with the
Montana Fish and Game depart
ment.
Brown has been assigned to the
fur resources and predator investi
gations division to work specifically
on predator investigations. It is an
ticipated that his work will shed
factual light on some of the preda
tor problems of Montana which di
rectly concern the fish and game
department. Research is essential
in establishing guide lines for all
action programs. However, scientific
work on predators and their effect
on Montana game populations has
been quite limited in the past.

State Game Warden
Prevents Violation
Quick action on the part of one
of Montana’s state game wardens
in Great Falls prevented a Mon
tana resident from committing a
violation of fish and game laws
recently.
Spotting an announcement in a
daily paper which advertised the
sale of two hundred pounds of veni
son, the game warden immediately
contacted the party and brought to
her attention that such a sale would
be in violation of the state’s fish
and game codes. The woman was
innocently endeavoring to dispose
of game meat in her locker for
purposes of solvency and did not
realize that such a sale would be
unlawful. She immediately with
drew the advertisement upon ad
visement from the warden.
Don Brown, chief law enforce
ment officer of the fish and game
department, pointed out to all Mon
tana citizens that the sale of any
kind of wild meat is strictly pro
hibited by law.

Mild Winter Easy
On Wild Game
Big game is wintering well so far
this year according to reports from
Montana Fish and Game depart
ment field men. Deer and elk con
tinue to range at intermediate to
high elevations in nearly all areas.
Trips made into deer wintering
ranges show that no concentrations
were found due to the unseasonably
mild weather and the light snow.
“When game have it easy to find
food until the end of January,
chances are fairly good for easy
survival as the spring breakup nor
mally comes soon enough after that
date to prevent excessive losses,”
Bob Cooney, state game manager,
said. ,
With the continuing open winter
animals have been able to forage
freely and it is expected that game
nerds will come through this win
ter in good shape, Cooney said.

1958-59 Fishing
Regulations
Officially Adopted
Montana’s 1958 fishing regulations
have been made official by the fish
and game commission's’ adoption
this week. Sportsmen can look for
ward to a general fishing season
from May 25 through November 30.
Fishing hours will remain from
5:00 a. m. to 10:00 p. m. Mountain
Standard Time unless otherwise
specified in area regulations.
The commission discussed but did
not approve the 84-inch bag limit
which had been proposed in an
earlier draft of regulations. Bag
and possession limits will remain
the same as in 1957 except that re
gardless of weight a fisherman may
always catch at least two fish. This
change would permit a fisherman,
whose first fish was ten pounds or
over, to continue until he had
caught one more fish.
Many rehabilitated waters which
were previously open to year-round
fishing have been returned to sea
son A regulations. Alva, Inez, Seeley,
Placid and Salmon lakes and Clear
water river from Rainey lake fish
barrier io Salmon lake will be
opened to year-round fishing. This
will allow maximum harvest of
fishes in these waters before they
are rehabilitated.
According to Walter M. Allen,
fisheries superintendent, no live
fish of any species may be legally
used for bait in drainage areas one
and two as designated on the fish
erman’s map. Previously, Sculpins
(cottus) could be used as live bait
there. All minnow fishing in these
areas has been curtailed to pre
vent pollution of these waters
which are now relatively free of
trash fish.
