Ag-new drew some ridicule for his poorly planned political statements, "He has to be heard to be believed, and if you don't listen carefully, you might think he's making sense," He wasted no words of praise on George Wallace, describing him as "thinking like a reactionary but talking like a radical." Wallace, he said growing more serious, has a "keen antenna" and has sensed that something is wrong, that there is a profound discontent among the so-called little people.

He described Nixon as the "cellophane-wrapped candidate' and the "total contemporary politician" who could be elected because he has not taken forthright stands on all the issues. Nixon, he said, has studied the of his past and has learned something. Vice President Hubert Humphrey's problem is somewhat different, the news analyst said. Humphrey has been trying too hard, perhaps, and his optimistic statements that all is well when people knew it wasn't perhaps made him look ludicrous, he added. Agronsky told the group that he was not urging support for any of the three candidates, but that they should recognize the real differences in the three.

He said that many people are disenchanted with the candidates, "none of whom would look good on a pedastol," but they should keep in mind that the 1968 election is "as important an election as we have ever had." By DENN CUHRAN Missoulian Staff Writer American voters should give the presidential campaign a fair hearing and should not prejudge the candidates. Martin Agronsky, CBS news correspondent, said Wednesday night, Speaking to a crowd of approximately 250 in the University of Montana Music Recital Hall, the veteran newsman urged voters to listen to the issues and not "drop out." "Politicians got us into the present chaos, but the solution is not to drop out," he said. "The solution is going to have to be political." Agronsky urged the audience, composed mostly of students, to be open minded about the Nov. 5 election and to study the issues to determine the future course of the country. "The important tiling is not to cop out," he emphasized, adding that if voters will take the time to study the candidates and the issues, they will be able to discern a difference, despite the talk on the cocktail party circuit.

And despite the polls, Agion-sky said that he perceives the presidential race to be much closer than most people think, meaning that every vote will count. Agronsky also took advantage of lus podium to air several witty, personal observations about the candidates which brought laughter from the audience. Of Richard M. Nixon he said a Republican i would "bring America one heartbeat tablished He said the council is fully confident that a Halfway House would serve a real need in the community and go a long way toward lessen substantially the problem of alcoholism. $25,000 Award Given in Damage Action A district court jury Wednesday awarded $25,000 to Mrs, Alberta W.

In answer to questions from advisory board members.

Walter Custer, executive director of the Western Montana Council explained that the immediate goals of the council are obtaining a building for the house and $10,000 to launch the program. Custer further stated that the council has arrived at an estimated operating budget of $42,000 annually. He said this figure includes an estimated $20,000 from Vocational Rehabilitation participation, approximately $16,000 from clients on the basis of $4 a day for board and room, leaving about $6,000 to come from donations. Custer said that at present the council does not have firm plans for a drive to raise the initial $10,000 considered necessary to launch the local program. Regarding operation of the house, council members pointed out that after a client has been a resident over a certain period and is considered ready to reenter society on a full scale, efforts would be made to find him a job if he is without one; there would be a follow-up program under which the client would return to the house for lectures and conferences and help on solving any problems he might encounter.

Dr. Lampert said that a number of locations for the house are under study and that the council has hopes that someone might donate a premises that would be suitable for the program. The Halfway House is one of three long-range goals of the Western Montana Council, Custer explained. The others are a counseling center and an information center. He said it is now planned to combine an information center with the Halfway House when it can be es- Alcoholism can be combatled to sonic degree of success in western Montana, and the best weapon in the tight would be a Halfway House.

This was the theme of a presentation by the Western Montana Council on Alcoholism before its newly appointed advisory board Wednesday night in the Montana Power auditorium. embers of the council spelled out the nature and extent of the problem of alcoholism, the concept of the Halfway House and the problems and plans for initiating such a program in Missoula County. Dr. Kenneth Lamport, vice chairman of the council's board of directors, presided at the se-sion, which, in addition to council members and advisory board, was attended by state and local representatives of the Montana Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, which is directly involved in the Halfway House program as it already has been instituted in Helena and Great Falls. The problem of alcoholism and the Halfway House concept was discussed by Steve Smirnoff, graduate student in jour-n a 1 i at the University of Montana, who in other locations has been connected with the establishment of halfway houses.

There are at least 2,400 known alcoholics in Missoula County, and many others who are problem drinkers, but who either deny they are alcoholics or are able to hide their affliction, Smirnoff said. Each of the known alcoholics involve in turn five others, for a total of 12,000. it was explained. On this basis the annual economic loss to Missoula County is approximately $6,000,000 in wages alone, plus police costs, welfare costs, bad debts and hospital costs. Smirnoff said it was most vital at the outset that the advisory board understand that alcoholism is a disease, that re-quires a continued and patterned treatment, and that in the individual case, nothing can be accomplished unless the alcoholic himself admits his affliction and has a desire to be cured.

Establishment of a Halfway House is the best way to fight alcoholism, Smirnoff contended, because it gives the alcoholic a place to go, it provides him with contacts with people who Peoples Voice Looks For Funds, Editor High pressure remains well entrenched over the northwestern states, according to the Missoula weatherman.

Clarence 1 1 vice chairman of the board of directors, told stockholders the weekly opinion paper has been losing from $5,000 to $8,000 a year. Present editor and associate editor Harry and Gretchen Billings have announced their retirement from the publication. Board member Hugh Mass-man, a Helena lawyer, said that after consultation with former UM Journalism School Dean Nathan Blumberg three prospects for editor have been found.

Massman said the board also hopes to hire a business manager to travel the state, soliciting subscriptions, advertisements and job printing. Five persons are being considered for the post. Mr. and Mrs. Billings decided to retire after Mrs.

Billings developed back trouble and the added work load became too heavy for the editor. Billings' 22-year tenure on the paper has been one of controversy. Although the paper has directed much of its fire at the Anaconda Co. and the Montana Power union bosses and some blunders by the Democratic party have been targets of barbs. Massman said that if the People's Voice can be brought to the break-even point financially, the parent corporation will next try to develop the property where the present printing plant stands.

He said he believes the property to be worth in the neighborhood of $150,000. I i -V 4.
