George Picric, Helena, secretary-manager of the chapter, made the announcement at the group's annual meeting. The chapter, representing 38 major Montana builders, said repeal would help destroy the system of competition in the state.

Members agreed that if system wore out, it would make it more difficult to supply Monfanans with good products at fair prices. The organization also voted to oppose repeal of the boycott provisions of the act. Building officials said they took the position because of the dangers of unrelated unions down construction projects, In oilier action builders, (decided to expand (lie industry's advancement program initiated recently by the Associated General Contractors in Spokane, Wash. Under the program, builders donate one cent per man hour of hired labor to a trust fund. The fund is used for health and welfare benefits, apprenticeship programs, job retraining and a pension system for the construction crafts, Pirrie said, "We believe this program is the just responsibility of our industry rather than that of the state or federal government where tax dollars must be diverted from other causes." The program is operating in Bozeman already and will be set up in other areas later this year or next.

The chapter voted to investigate possible revision of Montana's contractor license laws. Pirrie called the present laws "archaic." G. R. (Dick) Pew, Missoula, was elected to serve his second term as chapter president. Directors elected include Les Hardy, Billings, A.

J. Oswood, Glasgow, Tom McDonald, Butte, Tony Niklas, Helena, and Wayne Edsal, Bozeman. By JACK LEFL.ER NEW YORK (AP) The booming strength of the automobile industry was illustrated during the week when General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp. reported record sales and profits.

The industry is the major factor in the stale of the nation's economy. With car sales continuing to zoom, it is virtually certain that this will be another record year. General Motors, Ihe world's largest manufacturing concern, earned $1,274,843,649, or $4.45 a share, in the first six months of this year. This was a gain of 12 per cent over a year earlier. The first-half profit was greater than the full-year profit of any year in GM's history except 1962, 1963 and 1964.

GM's sales of $11,215,456,369 represented a gain' of 14 per cent over the 1964 first half. Chrysler, Ihe No. 3 auto maker, earned $118.4 million, or $2.91 a share, in the 1965 first half against $114.4 million, or $2.95 a share, a year earlier. More shares were outstanding in Ihe 1965 period than in 1964. First-half sales climbed to $2,6 billion, an increase of 28 per cent over a year earlier.

The industry's new car sales in tiie middle third of July set a record. Dealers delivered 215,429 cars in Ihe July 11-20 period, up 20 per cent from 180,167 to the like 1964 period. Automakers built an estimated 147,000 passenger cars during the week, down 13 per cent from the previous week, as most assembly plants began closing down for the changeover to 1966 models. United States Is Still Lbsine Its Gold Stocks By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP) The United States goes on losing gold in spite of the much publicized balancing of its monetary give and take with other nations. In late spring the United Slates managed to get more dollars back from abroad than it sent overseas in trade or aid or loans, But this surplus in its balance of payments after years of deficit didn't stop a further drain in June and July of (he U.S.

Treasury's gold reserves. Why arc American gold stocks still Money on Hand Officials explain that the years of deficits in U.S. monetary dealings have left oilier nations with billions of dollars on hand. Some of it is still being used to buy gold from the U.S. Treasury to build up the reserves of foreign countries.

Officials here hope this drain will peter out. A more specific reason for the latest loss of gold, $75 million of it last week, is that the over-all payments surplus achieved in late spring doesn't apply to all FPC Asks Authority Over Gas Pipeline Stock Sales WASHINGTON (UP!) The Federal Power Commission has again asked Congress to arm it with authority over sales of controlling slock in interstate natural gas pipeline companies. Us slated objective is to plug a big loophole in the natural gas act which allegedly permits potential monopolies and evasion of FPC price controls while the commission sils helplessly by. The regulatory agency's jurisdiction is now restricted to the sale of a pipeline's physical as- sels. This bars it from outlawing stock acquisitions which nail down control of such facilities.

Chairman Joseph C. Swiciler wants swift action but he may not get il. Congress is rushing toward adjournment and could force a delay until next year. There also will be powerful industry opposition demanding to be heard, Swidler sent a proposed draft bill to Chairman Warren G. Magnuson, of Ihe Senate Commerce Committee.

Magnuson introduced it without personally endorsing il. But he did insert in the Congressional Record for all to read Swidler's letter of transmiltal. El Paso Acquisition Swidler did not say so but his oft-repealed request grew out of embarrassment the commission suffered in El Paso Natural Gas Company's ill-fated 1959 acquisition of Pacific Northwest Pipeline Co. The commission approved Ihe merger after much legal bickering back and forlh, only to see it overturned by the Supreme Court which ordered El Paso in April, 1964, to divest itself of PNW. This is now going on under a consent decree signed by El Paso and approved by Atty.

Gen. Nicholas Deb, Kalzenbaeh and a Salt Lake City federal judge. Ei Paso cast longing eyes on PNW back in (lie 1950s when PNW, which serves Rocky Mounlain and Pacific Northwest states and lias a gns gateway lo in-financial trouble. El Paso acquired 90 per cent of PNW's slock but didn't press for merger until 1959. The commission first rejected the lake-over but this was where the embarrassment ia-had to do about face because il had no jurisdiction over the stock purchase.

No Position The Justice Department was in no such position. It stepped in with an anti-trust suit charging El Paso had set up a monopoly. Tliis ended in the Supreme Court's divestiture edict. In the meantime the commission had not gotten stock control authority from Congress. In addition to stock conlrol authority, he wants an amend- cominission in any anti-trust Congress.

That is why Swidler is again beating on congressional doors. In addition lo stock control authority, lie wants an amendment that would absolve (he commission in any anti-trust action the Justice Department might bring in a pipeline stock sale. He pointed out that, with stock control authority, the FPC would be able to dig out all the anti-competilive facets of any proposed deal before approving it. lie stressed, however, that this would not inhibit justice from going ahead wilh antitrust suits. And as a further safeguard, he suggested the law permit the attorney general and governors of affected states to "sit in" on any questionable cases up for consideration.

The divestiture plan was certified lo the FPC last week, a month after it was signed. It sets up a new pipeline named Northwest Pipeline now must win commission approval of its operations and rates. The rates, previously charged by El Paso, must remain frozen until Ihe FPC decides otherwise. nations Die surplus is just the averaging out of all transactions. That is, one nation may have had to dip into some of its reserve dollars in its dealings with the United States because it bought more here than il got from American buying or lending there.

This helped Washington in its effort to achieve a surplus. At the same time, another nation could have gone on raking in more Yankee dollars than it had to shell out. The trend of dealings with that country would slill have been in terms of deficit. In that.country dollars would be piling up that could be used to buy gold. Some European countries, notably France, have been running a surplus in their own.bal- ance of payments.

They have plenty of dollars; new or old, to exchange for golti if they wish. France, for one, is on record as intending to turn any new surplus of dollars into gold. The American balance of payments surplus was achieved largely by the voluntary actions of U.S. corporations and banks, under prodding from Washington, to cut back on spending and lending abroad. But of late much of American Investment overseas has been in countries that don't run a surplus in flieir own payments.

They have been, and still are, short of dollars. Cutting back on private spending by U.S. business with them may make for an over-all surplus on the books, but it doesn't affect other nations with dollars to spare. Still another reason the gold drain can't be written off yet lies in American export-import prospects. Nations that have a balance of payments surplus of their own and are therefore not starved for U.S.

dollars, have been giving Americans increased competition in world markets. Part of this has been due to the rising cost of production this year in American factories, and part has been due to (lie increasing efficiency of foreign producers as their prosperity has been translated into better equipment and newer products. To get more dollars back from overseas, Americans must export more. Some countries that most want American goods are short of dollars. Other nations, notably in Western Europe, have dollars to spend but are threatening to raise higher barriers against American goods.

The dollars they save could be turned in for gold. The stale runs Ihe Monte de Piedad (Mount of Piety) here lo protect the poor from usury. It's a pawnshop, in olher words. Montana Nay Sei Up New Law Enforcement Aid BILLINGS (AP) A teletype system for confidential law enforcement communication could soon be in operation in Montana. At least 12 cities are considering a Mountain States Telephone Co.

Ford Motor Co. closed all but three of its 16 plants. Chrysler wound up 1965 model production at its six plants. General closed one plant and will close more next week, but it is expected to keep some 1965 output running for another two weeks. Increased Earnings Two other industrial gianls, U.S.

Steel Corp, and Bethlehem Steel reported increased earnings for the first half of 1965. Steel users' slepped-up buying during the period to build stockpiles as a hedge against a possible strike Sept. 1 was a major factor in increased Kales. Steel production fell to the lowest level of the year during the week, when 2,603,000 tons were turned out. This was 1 4 per cent below the 2,640,000 tons poured the previous week.

The production trend has been downward since last June. The decline is the first evidence of the sharp letdown in steel demand likely to follow a labor settlement, unless there is a strike that lasts long enough to clean out excess inventories. Some of the apprehension of a recession in 1S66 may have been alleviated by President Johnson's call for a moderate step- up of U.S. participation in the Viet Nam war. More Spending The increased activity means that there will be more defense spending which will help the economy.

Businessmen breathed sighs of relief that for the time being there is no threat of government conlrol of wages and prices nor of higher faxes. The Labor Department reported that the cost of living went up five-tenths of one per cent in June to a record level. Prices of food, principally meat and poultry, increased 2 per cent and were the principal factor in boosting the government's consumer price index to 110.1. That means that you paid $11.01 in June for items that cost in the 1957-59 base period. Construction contracts climbed in June to $4,624,662,000, up 3 per cent from $4,506,885,000 in June 19G4.

Machine tool orders in June increased to $135.9 million, up sharply from $98.8 million in May but off from $163.2 million a year earlier.
