Rainbow Family 'council' mostly going as scheduled COLORADO SPRINGS, Col-o. (AP) A coal-leasing law awaiting President Ford's signature would "not seriously hamper" the administration's schedule for coal development, Interior Secretary Thomas S.

Kleppe told the National Coal Association Thursday. But the association disagreed sharply with Kleppe, who was one of the principal speakers at the group's annual convention here. The coal association sent a telegram to the President stating: "If this bill becomes law, the development of the vast low-sulphur federal coal reserves in the West will be set back a decade. "Not only would this measure halt the leasing of new federal coal reserves, but development of existing leases would also be stymied," said association Chairman Paul Morton in the telegram to Ford. But Kleppe told the group, "If the President signs the bill now on his desk, our schedules for coal development will not be seriously hampered." Kleppe said the American Mining Congress also opposes the bill, but added: "Seventy-five senators are asking for it to be signed.

Congress is not going to accept not passing a leasing bill." In a prepared release.the association said, "One damaging provision of the proposed law is a requirement that the federal government conduct extensive exploratory drilling of all federal coal reserves prior to any new leasing. This alone would delay leasing federal coal reserves for at least 5'2 years." Kleppe said the administration believes "the system of environmental impact statements which we have worked out is more than adequate. "We are deeply concerned about the environment and do not plan to allow any mining which would bring the scars of Appalachia to the West." Kleppe emphasized "that I support increased coal production as a means to an end. Coal is the energy for Murry jabs GOP for being too 'right' from Canada. Beck said none of the participants planned to stay in the area overnight.

The Rainbow Family sought a meeting place for weeks before Forest Service and Teton County officials approved the site northwest of Choteau. The group had been turned away from the Kootenai and Flathead national forests and from Glacier National Park. Officials cited potential environmental damage by such a large number of persons. The site near Choteau was severely damaged by flooding last year and has been burned by forest fires three times in this century. Bud Powell, acting supervisor of the Lewis and Clark National Forest, said the Forest Service felt the site could not be damaged further by a large congregation over a short period of time.

"Most of us would never consider camping there, but it is adequate for the Family," Powell said. CHOTEAU (AP) Some 900 to 1,000 persons were gathered on Lewis and Clark National Forest land near here Thursday, as scheduled, for the annual "tribal council" of the Rainbow Family. District Ranger Lloyd Swanger reported no problems with or because of the loose-knit religious organization, which has members throughout the country. About the only problem has been some ffiinor traffic congestion in town and at the parking area for the campsite, Swanger said. "The gathering will be 100 per cent completed the night of the Fourth, they will start leaving the fifth, and the area will be completely empty on the sixth," Swanger said.

"All cleanup will be finished by that time." A Rainbow Family spokesman, Garrick Beck, said on Wednesday that 100 to 150 members plan to travel to the Canadian border, about 100 miles north, on July 4 for an international peace ceremony with family members Anaconda Co. plans $50 million move BUTTE (AP) The Anaconda Co. announced Friday commitment of $11 million to the relocation of the central business district in Butte. Total estimated relocation costs are $50 million. Anaconda's commitment is centered on approval of the program by appropriate government agencies.

The Butte City Council has approved the project and is trying to seek federal funds from several sources. The council now is selecting a site for the new central business district. Anaconda said its contribution would consist of $8.5 million in funding and property located in the central business district valuated at $2.5 million. A major portion of the funds would be payable upon completion of the project, which is expected to take several years. Governor pleads for high way safety HELENA (AP) Gov.

Murry, executive secretary of the Montana State AFL-CIO, on Thursday chided the Republican Party for what he said was a swing to right-wing political extremism.

"Not since the Republican administrations of Donald Nutter and Tim Babcock has Montana seen such extreme tendencies within a major political party. The party is swinging back to an era that put people beneath private profit on its list of priorities, he said. Murry cited presidential candidate Ronald Reagan's weekend sweep of all 20 GOP national-convention delegates and public declaration of the party's nominees for various offices. Bill Diehl, the GOP nominee for Congress from the Western District, recently disclosed his membership in the ultraconser-vative John Birch Society. Murry said Republican conservatism had cost the party credibility in Montana, and added that a political system needs "two strong parties to function effectively.

"If fanatics dominate one party, the system no longer is representative of the people," he said. He echoed the charges of President Ford's supporters that Reagan's sweep of delegates was divisive, coming as it did against the recommendations of GOP gubernatorial nominee Robert L. Woodahl and State Chairman Florence Haegen. Murry charged that Diehl, Eastern District nominee Ron Marlenee and U.S. Senate nominee Stanley Burger all had indicated their support of "right-to-work" legislation support which Murry said weakened unions and allowed nonunion workers to share the benefits of union efforts without paying a AUTOMOTIVE Computer service for rural federal grant The U.S.

Agriculture Department has a computer service for rural communities which are searching for federal grants. For $2 to $4, the service will print out a list of grants which would apply to that community. Gary Madson, director of the Rural Development Service of the Agriculture Department, recently told the Montana Cattlemen's Association in a Washington, D.C., meeting that often rural governments do not have the professional expertise to allow them to compete on an equal basis with urban centers. He said that his 30-person department is trying to help rural agencies find and win federal funds. "If EfjfrJ share of costs.

The statement of the known as STAB, was issued in the wake of a gubernatorial order returning the values of most real estate and improvements, to the 1974 level. STAB Chairman Ray J. Way- rynen said many appeals now. before county tax appeal boards are based on new appraisals made by the Revenue Depart- ment under the Montana Appraisal Plan.

"It seems safe to assume that most of the taxpayers whq appealed for this reason will be satisfied with the 1974 Wayrynen said. 1 1 After suggesting that such taxpayers check with their county appraisers, Wayrynen said: "If the taxpayer is satis-, tied with the 1974 value and has an appeal before the county tax appeal board, he should with-1 draw his appeal." "A written request to with: draw is needed to dispose of the matter for 1976," Wayrynen added. He said that if a county board has already held a hear-I ing and made a decision, it has the option of reversing that decision. To comply with the gov- ernor's order, county boards may issue another order in each case to vacate their earlier deci- sion," Wayrynen said. "This would cancel a decision, made earlier, supporting the 1975 ues under the Montana Apprais al Plan." County tax appeal boards have been meeting since June 21.

The judge issued the declaratory judgment in a court suit filed by The Playground Bar against the City of Great Falls. The suit sought a judgement declaring Pokerino an authorized game under the Montana Game Act and an order restraining city authorities from preventing the bar from playing the game. Hatfield cited a state law which identifies the card games authorized by the state as bridge, cribbage, hearts, panguingue, pinochle, pitch, rummy, whists solo and poker.

He said the term "poker" must be taken in its "popular and general sense and the game of Pokerino does not meet that definition." The judge said the game of Pokerino is not authorized by the state and is illegal because it is a "banking game." Montanan chief judge SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Judge James R. Browning, 57, became chief judge of the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals Thursday, succeeding Judge Richard Chambers. A native of Montana, he was named to the appeals court in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy.

Earlier that year, as Clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court, Browning held the Bible when was sworn into office by Chief Justice Earl Warren. Browning was the son of a blacksmith whose business evolved into a Ford garage with the arrival of the "flivver." He was graduated from the University of Montana Law School with honors in 1941 at the age of 22. He was with the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department until entering the Army in 1943 as a private. He left the service with the rank of first lieutenant in 1946 and returned to the Justice Department.

Entering private practice in Washington, D.C., in 1953, he was appointed clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1958. Browning said he felt one oi the most important decisions he participated in was the April 6 ruling upholding the 160-acre limit on ownership of land receiving water from the federal Pine Flat dam. In reversing the lower court, the three-judge panel also rejected claims that individual landowners could avoid selling such excess land by agreeing to repay project construction costs allocated to irrigation. The judge noted that the question of water is an important one in the West and affects many people.

Of his historic Bible-holding chore, Browning said it was the last time a Supreme Court clerk did it.

Oo you think the above suggested udgment Is out of harmony with Christianity, The Christian Spirit?

Christ said: "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD." It can be shown where God Almighty says In His Book If a man deserves to be whipped he may be given "forty stripes, save onel" If such judgment was exercised and the guilty party was a member of my own family, I trust I would not change my Judgment but say let him "drink his cup," he has poured In the contents; however, permit me to be his substitute and drink the cup In his place with the admonition and prayer that "HE GO, AND SIN NO MORE," and never again "reject law for Individual liberty."
