The voice of Southwestern Montana since 1881 Dillon, Montana More No to Document HELENA (AP) — Three more c o n s t i t u t i o n a l co n v e n t i o n delegates say they will vote against the proposed constitution they helped write. The latest to announce their opposition are Douglas Delaney, D- Grass Range; Lloyd Barnard, D- Saco; and Robert Hanson, I- Ronan. The three bring to seven the total delegates who have announced they were opposing the document. Barnard said that based on in dications he received from a meeting of delegates in Billings recently, he thinks “ there will be 30 that will vote no if they want to commit themselves. Delaney said he was primarily concerned with the revenue, education and Bill of Rights ar ticles. “ I’m really concerned about the right to participation,” he said. “ It looks to me like it guarantees a person’s right to attend any school board, county commission, any ABM Stoppage Costing Money JACKED UP AND READY TO MOVE—is the old Montana Highway Department Garage on Highway 41 north in Dillon. The building was sold recently by the highway department. The new headquarters for Montana Highway maintenance equipment is north o f Dillon on High way 91. (Don Mrachek Photo) Want Constitution Stopped $ 28,500 HELENA (AP) — Three state organizations say they will spend approximately $28,500 in an at tempt to defeat the proposed constitution. The three groups are the Mon tana Contractors Association, the Montana Farm Bureau Federation and the Citizens for Constitutional Government. A Citizerts Committete Con stitutional Im p rovem ent has budgeted nearly $27,000 to push for passage of the constitution, but had received donations totaling only $10,770 as of midweek. Jack Marlow, executive sec retary o f the Montana Contractors Association, said his group {dans on spending about $5,000 to prepare an anti-constitution cam p aign. About $1,500 of that will go to television advertising, Marlow said. He said funds would come from the association’s treasury without a special assessment o f members, adding that association directors are opposed to the document mainly because of a “ watering Campground Daily Charge For persons intending to use most National Forest cam p grounds the daily use charge of $1 to $3 per car will again be made this year, according to Regional Forester Steve Yurich. The only difference in the fee system this year, according to Yurich, is that there won’t be an annual permit such as the Golden Eagle system afforded previously. He explained that the Golden Eagle recreation fee system expired on December 31, 1971, and Congress has not enacted new legislation to continue it. Fee charges will start about the second week in June at most campgrounds. The collection method will be by the self-service envelope deposit system . The camper places his fee in an en velope which is deposited in a central collection box and keeps the envelope stub to display at his campsite. Forest officers make periodic checks to insure that fees have been paid. The daily $1 to $3 fee admits the driver and all occupants of his vehicle to the campground, is good for overnight camping and until the noon checkout time the next day. Each of the National Forest Supervisors is currently developing a charge program for his forest. Signs are posted at all charge areas in the National Forests. A recreation fee is not required to hike, hunt, fish, or otherwise travel in the National Forests. For more information on which campgrounds are and are not fee campgrounds write to any Forest Headquarters, which, for Mon tana, are located in Billings, Dillon, Bozeman, Great Falls, Kalispell, Hamilton, Butte, Helena, Libby, and Missoula. In north Idaho they are in Orofino, Coeur d’Alene, Grangeville, St. Maries, and Sandpoint. International Trade Talk HELENA (AP) — Ways to in crease international trade for Montana were discussed today at a meeting of the state’s ■ business leaders With officials o f the Department of Commerce and Export-Import Bank. Gov. Forrest H. Anderson, in a prepared speech an aide gave to the conference, said he hoped the discussion “ will assist us to make a more aggressive and successful effort to export the products o f this state.” “ Foreign markets may provide the outlets we have so long been seeking,” Anderson said in remarks read by Ronald P. Richards, his executive assistant. “ In the past, Montanans overlooked the possibilities for export when they considered new markets.” He said Montanans must overcome a number o f problems if its position in the export market is to be improved. These problems involve a limited production capacity, great ship- d b g .distances and the “ foreign laws and regulations that add cohfUBlon to an already difficult business proposition. 1 1969, the governor’s text said, Nfontaha’s Manufactured exports export to the economy of the state,” Anderson reported. “ They also show that we must do something to increase the export of manufactured products.” He said increased trade and profit from export markets will help improve economic conditions in Montana and well as alleviate the nation’s first deficit balance of trade in this century.' Hie statement said Montana took positive action regarding international trade during recent industrial promotions in San Francisco and Los Angeles. As a result of that trip, a Japanese delegation from San Francisco will visit Montana in July to investigate possibilities for trade with this state. Another example of an effort to profit from foreign trade, ac cording to the governor’s text, is the attempt by die city of Butte to establish an inland port for the, in- transit warehousing of con tainerized goods received from overseas by the port of Seattle. The containers would be sent directly to Butte where they would be reduced into smaller lots for shipment throughout the nation. “ If this innovative effort is successful, it will provide new income in Butte and establish a precedent for other communities in the state to find new ways to create needed jobs,” the statement add ed. down” o f the highway anti- diversion amendment which Would allow gasoline taxes to be used for nonhighway purposes.» Stan Burger of Bozeman, ex ecutive secretary of the Montana Farm Bureau Federation, said his group will spend about $2,000 in its campaign to defeat the proposed new document. He said taped interviews and a slide program had been compiled, and that would alro be loaned to the contractors association for its use. The biggest share of the anti constitution campaign will come from the Citizens for Constitutional Government. Roy Crosby o f Missoula, who lobbied for the group when the convention met last winter, said Vwe are going to spend all we can get. We have spent $20,000 to date.” Crosby said expenses include printing of 300,000, 63-page pam phlets outlining deficiences in the proposed constitution, plus television, newspaper and radio advertising. He said his group found fault with the new document particu larly with the general government, education and taxation articles. Susan Quail of Bozeman, sec retary of Montanans for Citizens Rights, did not disclose what that group was spending to send the new document down to defeat June 6. She said, however, that it is just “ nickles and dimes. There are no large contributions.” SHELBY, Mont. (AP) - The work stoppage on the Montana antiballistic m issile com p lex (ABM) will apparently have little effect on some o f the smaller cities surrounding the north-central Montana area, but a Shelby businessman says he stands to lose up to $500,000. Bob Kalbfleisch, the owner of Homestead Development, said his loss will be $400,000 to $500,000. Shelby is located about 35 miles east of one o f the two ABM project work sites. Kalbfleisch said he paid $1,-500 per acre for a 200-acre subdivision near Conrad, built a 40-unit motel and a 35-space trailer park and . holds ap. additional 70 acres at the edge of the community. “ I bought that land at com mercial prices, but I ’ll be lucky to get $200 an acre selling it now for farmland,” he said. “ Seven people checked out of the motel Wednesday and everything will probably be shut down by the end of this week. There’s $70,000 tied up in the trailer park. “ It started out pretty good,” he said, “ but she’s all not worth much today. The contractors are getting away fat on this thing. It’s all cost- plus on termination of a contract. Kiewit (Peter Kiewit Sons Co., prime contractor) is probably going to make as much of a profit on the deal as if they completed the work,” the businessman said. “ I have a lot o f trailers on stock to sell, but everybne is going to be waiting for the trailers that the government paid for to go at about halfprice,” he added. He said the government should provide some compensation to investors because many of the projects were initiated at in sistence of the Corps o f Engineers and the Army’s Safeguard Com mand. “ We were encouraged to build facilities for another 4,000 people. Safeguard asked us for a proposal for 200 homes. There was meeting after meeting to plan facilities — they gave us a list of 1,636 people who would be assigned here and their pay grades too, to base developments on. The banks weren’t worrying about their loans, but now it’s all changed.” The $160.9 million Montana portion of the ABM construction came to a halt last Friday when President Nixon signed an agreement with Russia limiting the arms race. The U.S. will have two ABM sites, one in North Dakota and one around Washington, D. C. other governmental board, take part in the meeting right up to the vote.” He also said he was unhappy with the less restrictive gasoline tax provision, saying the roads in eastern Montana will never be up to par and the possibility of siphoning gas taxes off for non highway purposes only makes the future bleaker. Barnard said he is opposed to “ pretty near the whole thing.” Specifically, he said “ revenue and taxation provides no protection for the property taxpayer at all. The Bill of Rights is detrimental to law enforcement and the court system. Too much authority for the board of regents and board of education. We don’t need two boards any way.” Hanson’s main objection was the cost factor. “ I think our cost of state government is getting out of hand,” he said, adding that he thinks “ this is going to make it more so.” Art Kamhoot, R-Forsyth, on the other hand, said'that while he isn’t too enthused over the proposed constitution, “ I don’t feel it’s my place as one delegate to go out and tear down the work of 99 others regardless of how I feel about it.” Civil Rights Suit Dismissed GREAT FALLS7 (AP) - A rights suit against Pondera County law enforcement officials, alleging mistreatment in the Pondera County jail has been dismissed for lack of prosectuion. Hie suit was filed in 1970 by Montana State Prison inmate Edward J. Pound against Pondera County Sheriff Walter Ham- mermeister; John Vandercroft, undersheriff; Andy Sangray, then deputy sheriff; and Del Walker, a former deputy sheriff. Pound had contended he was forced to lie in his own body wastes for 26 days, wearing handcuffs and restraining belts. He said he was not allowed to take a shower for 40 days and had to appear in court without shoes or clean clothing. An identical suit was also filed by a Richard Lee Gong. It was dismissed earlier. The suit was filed while Pound was serving two concurrent five- Melrose Grange Smorgasboard M ELR O S E —The M e lrose Grange will serve smorgasbord on June 4 at Melrose from 1 to 5 p.m. Featured on the menu will be roast beef, ham, salads, breads, spaghetti, baked beans, and dessert.

He had two attorneys withdraw from the case at various times, and on several occasions told the court he could not attend a scheduled hearing because he was in jail. At other times, his attorney claimed he could not reach him. Henry Hibbard Campaigns Here DILLON—Henry S.
