This in essence is being asked Great Falls civic and governmental leaders this week by a special team of consultants on sheltered workshops.

1, 1968 29 GN Men Face Move To Havre By RALPH P0MNICH0WSK1 Tribune Staff Writer Repainting locomotives a dazzling blue and white, carrying truck trailers and mobile homes by rail and aggressively seeking other new sources of revenue are some of the measures taken in recent years by the Great Northern Railway in an effort to give the carrier "a new look" and return it to transportation prominence or at least to assurances of eco-nomica viability in the future. (Related story on page 1). Another measure announced Monday will affect the jobs of 29 men at the Great Falls yards by Jan. 1, 1969. or shortly after.

Placing the majority of the railway's maintenance specialists on the main line of the carrier makes economic sense, but it represents a large annual pavroll loss to Great Falls. Several workers interviewed at the Great Falls plant Monday expressed serious reservations about moving to Havre, where the Great Northern has guaranteed them jobs if they will relocate.

Robert P. Griffin, a leader in the fight against the nomination, told reporters after the vote that "the Democratic leadership now has good reason to lay this nomination aside permanently." If Mansfield makes another attempt to call up the nomina- Continued on page 2, col. 2 appointment was being laid aside temporarily. "The Senate has refused to face squarely the issue of the nomination of Mr. Fortas," Mansfield said.

He said he will announce in the next two or three days whether the fight will be renewed. Mansfield told his colleagues just before the roll was called thai this was the first filibuster ever directed against a presidential appointee. Johnson named Fortas, who has been an associate justice since 1965. to succeed Earl Warren as chief justice. Warren, 77, submitted his retirement request last June at the President's pleasure, and Johnson said he would accept it on Senate confirmation of a successor.

At the White House, press secretary George Christian told reporters: "The President nominated Justice Fortas and felt he was highly qualified for the position. Certainly nothing has happened to change his feeling on that. "He feels that there is a majority in the Senate in favor of the nomination and naturally he wishes there had been a more favorable vote today." Christian added that Johnson still believes that a majority of the Senate would approve the nomination "if the opponents would permit it to come to a vote." Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, ramrod-ding the effort to break through the opposition, announced the WASHINGTON iAPi President Johnson refused Tuesday to back down on his nomination of Abe Fortas to be chief justice, despite a Senate vote against considering it. "The nomination is still there," a White House spokesman said, meaning it has not been withdrawn. Senate administration leaders failed by 14 votes to break a filibuster against calling up the nomination and announced they were putting it aside lor the time being.

Forty-five senators voted to invoke the debate-limiting cloture rule, and 43 voted against it. A two-thirds majority is required for cloture, and with 88 senators voting the Fortas supporters needed 59 votes to end the filibuster. New York Strikes Put Off NEW YORK (API Mayor John V.

Havre had difficulty earlier this year in housing an influx of Air Force men reassigned to the radar station there.

In addition, several of them said they would find it very hard to move after building their homes and making friends in Great Falls.

The discussion group concerned with facilities at the Governor's Conference on Statewide Planning for Vocational Rehabilitation issued the policy statement during the meeting's closing session. Wayne Eveland, Helena business and group leader, read the statement which calls attention to the relatively low population and limited wealth of Montana and a need to prevent proliferation of poorly planned, poorly financed and ineffectual facilities throughout the state. "It is our conviction." Eveland said, "that the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and all agencies should use the greatest restraint in use of funds initiating these projects.

"By such action," he continued, "available funds and staff can be tunneled into facilities which offer the greatest possibility of attaining maximum benefits for the handicapped in the state."

"The most objectionable thing is that if one justice doesn't please them, they'll switch to another," Dickson said. Because of this, Dickson favors a commissioner with higher jurisdiction under the district court, as proposed at the Second Annual Citizens Conference on the Montana Judicial System meeting this week at Billings. Related stories on pages 4 and 8.

"1 support the idea that the justice of peace courts should be abolished. They were all right in the 1890s when the state constitution was adopted, but they've outlived their usefulness-just like the midwife. Some system should be established to give the court greater jurisdiction." Dickson referred to comments by Keith A. Mclntyre, Glendive af the Billings meeting which the Cascade justice also attended. Mclntyre charged enforcement officers coerce justices into handing out severe sentences.

Those who don't go along are blackballed, he said. Dickson noted that in a civil matter the justice can't hear any case that involves more than $300, or a fine in excess of $500 or a jail sentence in excess ol six months. "Any misdemeanor which carries more must go before a district court," he said. With increased jurisdiction, the pressure would be taken off the district courts, he said. The Cascade justice said there is great duplication in the present procedure.

He pointed out if a person appeals a finding, all evidence presently must be represented to the district court. Under the new system, he said, the matter would have to be appealed on the record as a point of error. "I'm not belittling anyone, just trying to point out some of the difficulties with the present system," Dickson said. "There are a great number of defective complaints and cases which are now being tried by the JP courts. The JP is not capable of recognizing or dismissing a defective complaint." "A new system might get the highway patrol down to the business of writing legal complaints, and gathering sufficient evidence to try a case before issuing complaints.

A complaint is not necessarily sufficient evidence for trial. Therefore, cases which could be beaten by appeal wouldn't be tried in the first place. "The judicial efficiency to be gained would be tremendous."

Oct. 10 at SI. Louis. Snyder to Sell KRlT to Garryowen Snyder and Associates Tuesday night announced an agreement for sale of the assets of television station KRTV, Great Falls, to Garryowen Cascade TV, Inc. Sale price was not disclosed.

The transfer is subject to approval of the Federal Communications Commission and is not expected to become effective before February, 1969. KRTV operates on Channel 3 in Great Falls and is affiliated with the CBS and NBC networks. Garryowen Cascade TV is associated with the Garryowen Broadcasting System which operates radio and television stations in Billings and Butte. Dan Snyder, chief executive officer of the Great Falls television property, said he would continue association with the station as consultant. His long-range plans include study toward advanced degrees in philosophy with the ultimate goal of becoming a teacher in the field, something "I've always wanted to do," he commented.

He received his bachelor's degree in psychology and philosophy from the University of Montana in 1950. A major consideration in the sale was the maintenance of control and operation of the broadcast outlet by Montanans, Snyder said. Joseph S. Sample of Billings, president of Garryowen, said the acquisition would lead to improved television service throughout the state. KRTV began telecasting in Great Falls on a regular basis Oct.

5, 1958, with authorized power of 600 watts. By 1962 the power had been increased to 30,500 watts. The transistorized color film chain was installed in 1967 and the station pioneered local live color programming. Sample operates KOOK radio and television in Billings and KXLS radio and television in Butte. He is vice president of the Skyline Television Network, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
