Billings Gazette Saturday, Feb. Edition 9, 1974 4 Morning Senate kills proposal for new state flag HELENA (AP) The Montana Senate effectively killed a proposal to replace the official state flag Friday, equating the loss of history with near sacrilege. Sen. G. W.

Deschamps, R- Missoula, said replacing the current flag with the proposed version would be "like going over to the House of Representatives and taking down the Russell painting and putting up a piece of modern art." The bill was defeated during the debate stage by a vote of 30-19. "I don't think the people of Montana want to change their flag," Deschamps said. As proposed, the new flag would become the official state flag and the current state flag would become the governor's personal standard. "If it's good enough for the governor, it's good enough for the state of Deschamps suggested.

education here is starting to fall apart," said one student. "I can see it when I go to class when I see my best teachers looking for jobs." Said another: "The students want higher salaries for teachers." Faculty members also complained that heavy teaching burdens have decreased time available for research and complained that budget cuts imposed by the 1973 Legislature have caused some to wonder about job security. This combination of factors, they added, has substantially decreased faculty morale. "I HOPE you don't neglect the spirit," one professor said. "We need some hope." The concern over jobs also prompted some faculty members to request that the commission include the complex subject of teacher tenure in its investigation.

Considerable concern was registered over the future of the school's curricula, particularly shortages of health care educational programs, graduate studies and programs aimed at enhancing the social awareness of Montana's college students. John Parker, an English professor, said the university should make students "aware of what's happening to our society." "I just hope you won't forget there are some things that aren't worth dollars and cents that are very important," he said. Others indicated some curiosity about political implications surrounding the study with questions concerning possible reductions in the number of college campuses and political pressures faced by the commis- sion. LINDA SKARR, a commission member from Bozeman, said no political pressure has been experted. "If we should come to the conclusion that unit should be shut down I'm sure we will all take a deep breath and recommend it," she said.

Then, she added, the commission must "muster the courage" necessary in the state legislature to make the cut. She did not indicate which, if any, units may be earmarked for closure. Other commissioners attending were Raymond Dore, Bozeman; Carl Davis, Dillon, and John Peterson, Butte.

WATER If you'd like to become a customer of a new dependable water hauling service, write your name, address phone number to: Sanitary Water Delivery Service Box 600M Gazette Battling in favor of the new flag was Sen. Harry T. Northey, also a Missoula Republican.

He said he was not reactionary in proposing the change, contending the current flag has lost its value and become blase. Northey said it did not take a great deal of creative genius to design the current flag and noted there are 25 other states with flags just like it. Montana's official flag was adopted in 1905. The state seal adorning its dark blue background was adopted in 1895. The flag actually is a remodeled cavalry standard and "not easily recognized at a distance," Northey said.

The debate became ludicrous at times. Sen. Gordon McComber, D- Fairfield, suggested the snowcapped mountains on the new flag should be replaced "with a pair of panty hose with the word 'ERA' on Sen. Fred G. Carl.

R-Missoula, said at first he considered the thought to change was idiotic but changed his mind after being strenuously lobbied by University of Montana student James Croft, who designed the new flag. Carl said the proposed flag was very symbolic, would be economical to buy and readily available. The new flag, which probably will surface in future legislative sessions, has a top stripe of blue symbolizing the blue skies of Montana, Northey said. The center white stripe symbolizes the state's clean air and water. while the bottom green stripe symbolizes Montana agriculture.

The three mountain peaks, he said, symbolize the rugged scenery that people most frequently mention in referring to the state. "If the flag is adopted it will be said Montana must be very cold and the residents must be very proud of it because they put an iceberg on one of their beautiful lakes." Deschamps said. The Senate also gave final approval on a 45-3 vote to a House-passed bill authorizing the deposit of public money in savings and loan associations. If signed into law, it would mean both banks and the savings and loan companies could receive state funds. Representatives of banks and the savings companies got together and worked out their 80 000 Present flag still waves own compromise version between sessions.

The banks fought the proposal for years and the mid-session compromise was considered a major achievement. The Senate, working through its 29th day, also unanimously approved a measure allowing the Twin Bridges High School District to increase its general fund budget and changed the requirement for wearing hunter orange while hunting big game. Among other things, the House-passed bill is aimed at making it illegal for a hunter to place the prescribed amount of "color" on his body and then cover it up with another garmet. It also establishes where the blaze orange. garments must be worn, excluding such places as the back of the legs.

Tentatively approved was a bill to reduce the amount of good time allowance for habitual offenders and an amended version of a bill withholding some student documents until assessed traffic fines were paid. A Senate resolution requesting the governor to appoint a committee to investigate the Professional Negotiations Act for Teachers and other labormanagement statutes involving public education was adopted on a 33-9 vote. Sen. David James, D-Joplin, said the legislation was particularly important in this age of increasing problems between teachers and their school boards. Sen.

P.J. Gilfeather, D-Great Falls, termed the resolution unnecessary and a waste of time and money. He suggested the respective groups should get together and solve their own problems. "You're opening a can of worms," commented Sen. B.J.

Goodheart, D-Malta. He said such a study would thrust state government into all the "school disputes in Montana." The resolution asks the superintendent of public instruction to work with 12 other persons appointed by the governor to study the act as it relates to labor-management relations between teachers and school districts. It specifically mentions teacher tenure, teacher contracts, appeals, bargaining agents, discharge, school board policy, impasse procedures and binding arbitration. "It's high time to deal with these matters." said Sen. Cornie Thiessen, D-Lambert.

Sailor spy FROM PAGE 1) ty Council, sources have said, documents dealing with those subjects were deliberately kept from high echelons in the Pentagon and the State Department at the request of Nixon and Kissinger. Radford's assertions contradicted recent statements by Moorer and Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger minimizing the spying incident. The yeoman said he had always believed Moorer was aware of his activities. He said that belief was conveyed to him on a number of occasions by Robinson.

The White House learned of the military spying while investigating the leak of sensitive documents in Decmeber. 1971 on the India-Pakistan war to Jack Anderson, the columnist. Although a later report on the spying activities by David R. Young a member of the White House "Plumbers" unit, concluded the unauthorized documents had been funneled to Moorer's offre, the admiral was reappointed by Presdient Nixon to a second two-year term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in mid-1972. Welander was banished from the White House and the liaison office-in existence inside the National Security Council since the early 1960's, was abolished overnight.

In his public statements. Moorer has acknowledged receiving two batches of documents from Radford in 1971 but has publicly described them as worthless and unnecessary. The admiral also has denied published reports he had authorized or approved the funneling of the unauthorized material. IT STARTS MONDAY 8 A.M.

Park opening to be May 25 HELENA (AP) Montana's House passed and sent to the Senate Friday a bill that would set up a nine-member Commission on Local Government to begin the constitutionally mandated call for more home rule if requested by electors. The commission, to be appointed by the governor, would study the entire local-government structure and prepare a revised Code of Local Government Law. The bill, which has Speaker Harold E. Gerke, D-Billings, as chief sponsor, cleared the House handily, 79-10.

Also passed to the Senate, this time on an 82-6 vote, was a resolution calling on Congress to rescind the Daylight Saving Time Law during the winter. The measure, similar to one already approved by the Senate, asks that Montana be exempted from fast time from early November to early March. Despite charges of stalling, representatives voted 49-39 to hold for possibly another week a bill to require economic-impact statements for certain proposed legislation.

At least one Democrat made it clear he supports the bill. Rep. J. D. Lynch, D-Butte, said: "My constituents feel this is a very necessary thing.

They're a little tired of having highway projects tied up under the guise of environmental impact." And Rep. Richard A. Colberg, D-Billings, indicated he might support the bill if the cost proves reasonable. He told the House, however, that 15 state agencies do not now have personnel qualified to produce the economic-impact statements the bill would require. The House, on a 48-39 vote, refused to overturn an adverse committee report on a bill that would have moved the primary election from June to September.

"Daniel is not really greedy," said the builder's friend who asked that the Miamian not be identified. "'He just put his own padlock on one of the station's three pumps.

the one with high test gas." According to the friend. the builder had been frustrated by hours spent in line trying to fill the tanks of his family's three cars, including two Cadillacs. Ten days ago, someone offered to sell him for $10.000 a rundown service station that has a small monthly gasoline quota, of which 1.700 gallons is high test. The builder bought the station on the spot with a $2.500 cash payment. Later.

he found a mechanic to open an auto repair shop there and to sell regular gasoline to the public. But the sole possession of three keys to the high test pump has enabled him to fill his cars at any time, even after the station's closing hours, and to dispense favors to close friends. is a very popular man these days." his friend said. "Daniel "The key to his pump has become a status symbol and it is more in demand than a key to a bachelor's pad."
