Hy Ci.VRY LANGI.KY Missuulian Staff Writer The man responsible for a bill before the Senate which would establish an all-volunteer military force Friday night called the draft and said it denies young men individual liberty through "unjustified intrusion by the government." Speaking at the first formal event of the grand opening of the new University of Montana Center, Sen. Mark O. Hatfield. pushed for an all-volunteer military force and scoffed at a proposed draft selection by lottery. Sen.

Hatfield said the "most basic inequity" in the draft is the fact that "a smaller and smaller minority of our young men is carrying the burden of national defense." This fact, he said, "is often camouflaged by listing specific injustices." A lottery, Sen. Hatfield said, would "not alleviate the basic injustices of the draft but only treat some of its symptoms. "Men will still be serving' against their will," he said. The Oregon Senator pointed out that an all-volunteer military force would provide "absolute personal liberty and freedom from government interference. "A volunteer system would eliminate the inequities of conscription and would end the injustice of forcing some to serve while allowing the majority their liberty," the Oregon Republican said.

Proposal Appro Nixon Preparing For Foreign Visit Sharing Costs Hatfield said that under a volunteer military all taxpayers would share the true costs of support of the armed forces, and he contended that a volunteer military "would not cost any more than an army of conscripts." "The bill would be sent to a different party," he said. Sen. Hatfield charged that under the draft the American voter "never sees the true cost of the armed forces because he doesn't have to pay it. The young man in uniform does." In addition, Sen.

Hatfield said, the President has the ability to send American fighting men "to any spot in the world without approval or even consent of Congress."

Friday charged the firm's president, Martin Ackerman, with misappropriating and fraudulently converting $6 million of pension fund assets. It is the second law suit this week to accuse Ackerman of juggling the finances of the giant publishing house which had as its queen, the Saturday Evening Post. The Post's last issue is now on the news stands.

Trustees of the estate of Cyrus H. K. Curtis who founded the firm, disclosed Thursday they are seeking ouster of Ackerman, a New York financier, as president as part of a "re-vitalization" of the company. The Curtis Council of Unions is composed of six international labor organizations with a collective bargaining agreement extending through June 1970. The council filed the complaint in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.

Besides Ackerman, the suit named as defendants the publishing company; secretary E. Eugene Mason and vice president G. B.

Noose is Prepared for VI MS A subcommittee which drafted HB301, it would create a nine-member State Building Codes Council. This council, with five of its members appointed by the governor, could establish building codes but city codes could be used if equal to those of the state.

Cities would have authority over construction within their boundaries and. upon petition to the state agency, could also apply the city codes to the area 4 1 2 miles outside city limits. The proposal did not win endorsement of the full Legislative Council. By a 54-38 tally, the House beat down an effort by Rep. John Melcher.

D-Forsyth, to revive his HB479. This would require the county high schools share in any surplus state equalization money after the state has met 100 per cent of its obligation to finance the school foundation program. Melcher said the bill, killed Thursday by adoption of an unfavorable report of the Education Committee, could provide property tax relief. Rep. Oscar Kvaalen.

R-Lam-bert, chairman of the Education Committee, said the Melcher amendment would circumvent the foundation program and provide money to oil-rich counties not otherwise entitled to such state aid. Senate-passed consitutional changes would authorize additional amendments to be voted on in 1972, 1974 and 1976, let county school superintendents function in two adjoining counties and remove the county indebtedness limit for airports. Passed to the Senate on a near-party-line vote was HB557, the individual income tax-rate bill which originally was part of the Democrats' 14-bill revenue package. After the Republican majority amended the tax-rate bill to a flat 10 per cent increase, Democrats disclaimed it. They will, of course, amend it in the Senate.

The bill was approved by 56 Republicans and opposed by 45 Democrats and Republican Tom Clemow, Jackson. Not voting were Reps. Kenneth M. Wolf, R-Shelby, and Francis Barda-nouve, D-Harlem. Clearing the House were companion bills that would set up a program of voluntary sterilization for the mentally retarded and repeal Montana's old, unused involuntary sterilization law.

During the House debate stage, 14 bills received tentative approval, including a proposal to set up statewide building standards. As explained by Rep. Walter J. Ulmer, R-Miles City, chairman of the Legislative Council By J. D.

HOLMES Al Capitol Writer HELENA (API A proposal to require individual Montanans to cast a team vote for governor and lieutenant governor won House approval Friday but another possible constitutional amendment was rejected. The bill that could end separate voting for a governor and his lieutenant passed to the Senate 82-16, with the "no" votes cast by four Democrats and a dozen Republicans. Failing to win the 70 votes needed by a constitutional amendment was a bill asking the public to again vote on doubling the number of amendments that may appear on one election ballot. The question of increasing the number of constitutional amendments at the same election to six from three was rejected by the public last Nov. 5 by a vote of House members, on the 33rd legislative day, rejected it 63-34, seven short of the necessary two-thirds.

One constitutional amendment already enacted this session would give the vote to 19 and 20-year old Montanans. Others which have won House approval would set up annual legislative sessions, let county treasurers succeed themselves and legalize bingo when played by nonprofit organizations. HELENA (API A wave of dissatisfaction with the Montana High School Association carried a bill through the Senate Friday to establish a division in the Department of Public Instruction to control interscholastic high school activities. The measure cleared the Senate on a 29-24 vote and now faces consideration in the House. The association, a private nonprofit corporation regulates high school athletic, music and speech competition.

Proponents argued that the association has no business handling any facet of public education, that it is arbitrary in its policies regarding athletic competition, that it uses funds ters for members of the legislature during legislative sessions was killed on a 28-23 vote. Two strip-mining bills bit the dust through adoption of adverse committee reports. They included a measure providing rigid regulations for reclamation of strip-mined lands and one creating a reclamation commission to control all aspects of such mining operations. One strip-mining bill still is under consideration by the Senate Natural Resources Committee. The high school activities bill received Senate approval in the wake of two stormy debate sessions and in spite of a sate-ment by Mrs.

Dolores Colburg. superintendent of public instruction, who told newsmen she thought passage of the bill would hurt her department. She said her office is busy enough controlling the academic side of education without taking on interscholastic competative events. belonging to public education and that it is not answerable to voters. Also winning the Senate's final endorsement were a bill controlling dredge mining and reclamation of dredge-mined lands and a measure allowing the Industrial Accident Board to extend compensation to totally disabled workers beyond 500 weeks.

The constitutional amendment proposals were killed. They included a bill establishing annual 45-day legislative sessions and a bill to repeal the antilotteries amendment to the state constitution. The other three amendment proposals dealt with lowering the voting age. They were given adverse committee reports since a House bill to lower the voting age to 19 already has cleared both houses of the legislature and has received Gov. Forrest Anderson's approval.

Insight and Inside By JERRY HOLLORON Missoulian State Bureau HELENA There's nothing quite like a good fight between bankers especially when the lobbyists for the opposing sides represent almost a "super bowl" of talent. That was the situation Friday when the House Business and Industry Committee heard two hours of spirited debate on House Bill 300, which would allow branch banking in Montana. Spokesmen for the Montana Independent Bankers Association claimed the bill would give bank holding companies "an un-limited hunting license" to force smaller "Ma and Pa" independent banks out of But those favoring branch banking, which is now prohibitec under Montana law, said it would result in economic growth in Montana, more competition, better banking service and more readily available credit. The importance of the bill, which may become one of the major controversies in the 1969 session, is shown by the fact that both sides were represented by men generally considered to be among the most capable lobbyists in the state. The bill, sponsored chiefly by-Rep.

Matt Himsl, R-Kalispell. would allow banks to open up branch offices throughout the state with the approval of the state bank superintendent. Testifying in favor of the measure were Himsl; Jerome Anderson, lobbyist for the First National Bank of Billings; Dr. Lloyd Rixe, president of TAP a Bozeman consulting finn; and Heniy Loble, lobbyist for the Great Falls National Bank. Both the Great Falls and Billings banks are owned by the Northwest Bancorporation, one of three intra-state bank holding companies operating in n-tana.

Aligned against branch banking were Pat Hooks of Town-send and John Cavan of Billings; J. H. Hanson. Poison banker and president of the Independent Bankers Association, and Horace Hansen, general counsel fur the National Inde- ice. Rixe.

In great deUul. he listed the Montana communities with no banking service and compared that with South Dakota, which allows at least limited branch banking. For example, he said only 25 per cent of Montana towns with populations of from 400-500 have a bank compared with 87 per cent in South Dakota.

Here were the claims made by those favoring branch banking: It would aid economic development in Montana by making capital available. "If we really want Montana to grow and to prosper with an expanded economy, we must put in the factor of branch banking, the catalyst in the modern equation of economic development." said Himsl. Anderson read letters from California and Arizona which said branch banking had a major effect on the economic development in those states. It would allow banks to open branches in communities that now have no banking serv Area News Astrology Classified Comics Dear Abby Doctor's Column Markets Sports TV Schedule 6 12.15 6 5 6 11 9.10 12 'Who put the pills.
