Ketchum D.C. ftunw 794 Bend Congress Today: ; By UNITED PRESS The split between President Ei senhower and powerful members of the congressional farm bloc gaped wider today in the wake of Mr. Eisenhower s renewed- appeal for a flexible support plan. Sen. Milton R. Young (R-ND) declared the Republican, party "might as well write off" the Mid west In future presidential elections if the GOP formally embraces the flexible program. Young is a lead ing champion of the present high rigid support program for basic crops. . : .: Mr. Elsenhower said in a radio- television speech Thursday night that the farm situation is too "cri tical" to delay adopting his flex ible plan. He rapped the action of the House Agriculture Committee in tentatively voting to extend the present high support program for another year. Young said adoption of the flex ible plan would be "legislating an other depression. Rep. Harold S. Lovre (R-SD) said the President's speech would have no affect on the FATHERS DAY SPECIAL PAJAMAS Values to 4.95 Broadcloth or Seersucker ' STOVER-LeBLANC congressional vote on price sup ports. He said "a vast majority of farmers" want high supports .con tinued. But there was some support for the President's position. Chairman George D.

Atomic: A fight over public pow er is brewing in the House-Senate Atomic Energy Committee. One member said it might jeopardize passage of a proposed new basic atomic law. The issue is whether to preclude the Atomic Energy Commission from making and sell ing electric power except as a by product in the production 01 tission- able material. The committee has tentatively approved such a ban, but' by a split vote. The issue is likely to come up in Iloor debate Appropriations: The ..H o u s e, which has approved all but two of the money bills for fiscal 1955, has trimmed President Eisenhower's budget requests by an average of less than 5 per cent so lar this year.

"It's an inlgamer!" The great man was discussing the fact that he's g;:ng to do two half-hour television shows next season instead of the monthly one- hour show he has been identified with tor the past four seasons. I don't know." he continued. "whether I'm, expected to be twict as good or only half as good. Which way are they cutting me up? And how good is good? It cer tainly ain't that last show I did this season with all them circus effects. I felt like Barnum and Bailey without Ringling." ,t He's Not Mad Jimmy isn't mad at anyone of course ne was just kidding. Seriously," he said. "I don t know whether It will be easier do ing two 30-miniite shows every other week. I think maybe. Then I think maybe not. - But I do know this.- With an hour show, it's the last 30 minutes that's the struggle. The first half hour goes by like lightning. Even it your material am t so good once in a while, who gets tired of look ing for a half hour? But that last 30 minutes, even when you got the best, is an uphill pull. NBC's realignment of talent for next fall finds Durante and Donald O'Connor employed by the same sponsor. Durante kicks off the first show about mid-September on a Saturday night. O'Connor is on at the same time the following Satur day, then back to Durante the third week. Neither is on every fourth Saturday. Then the rotation starts again. I think on one of those off- weeks once a month I'm supposed to put a show on fil-Ium." the comedian said. "But they won't use none of them during the regular season. They'll be lor use' next summer after I'm off the air on vacation. I.Ikes Live Shows "I like doing them live shows. I get a bang out of them. It's show business. You do a bad show, of course, nobody s happy, but when you've got a good one, it s a real bang to do it." The "vacationing Durante is up to his old tricks. He's working in a night club again, back at the Copacabana which he has visited for years. 'But I only do three club dates a year," he said. "The Copa, the Chez Paree in Chicago and the Desert Inn in Vegas. This time I'm going up to Boston for a week at the Latin Quarter, but that's unusual. "Why do I do it? Well, I've known all these fellers 30-40 years. They say, 'Jimmy, won't you come back just once more for a couple of weeks?' It s got me trapped friendship, I mean. I'm getting to feel like Harry Lauder with all his farewell tours. Visitors Welcomed By PP&L at Merwin And New Yale Dams J Th following le eondena- ; t!on of motorioir appearing In the June IS NOBTHWK8T rolo f rnafaalne of The Sunday Orego- nlan. II la ona of an annual aerie ; aponaored jointly by the Oregon J Btate Motor aaaoclatlou and The Oregonlan. tBY JOHN A. DIEHDORFF ' Suit Writer, The OrelonUn T Yale and Merwin dams are only two of the points of Interest on a leisurely one-day loop drive we took from Portland Into some of the fastnesses of Clark and Cowlitz counties, on a motorlog for The Oregonian and the Ore gon State Motor association. In the motor association's white Ford, we clocked 150 miles on the round trip, which took eight hours, counting stops to eat and to gawk. . From Portland to Vancouver across the Interstate bridge It was familiar territory on 0. S. highway 99, which would hRve led the Ford directly to Wood land, junction for the road to Merwin dam. But in Vancouver for novelty we turned instead to . the left onto state highway 1-T. - Approaching Rldgefleld. 23 miles from Portland on the speedometer, we caught a tine prospect out across the tints to- . ward the Columbia, paused at an Intersection inside the city limits and swung easterly, to tho right, Pacific Highway Crossed This road intersected the main Pacific highway, U. S, 99, a little more than two miles later, anil again it's possible to take it Straight to Woodland. We were still unhurried and .adventurous, however; so we crossed the speedway and continued east two miles farther to Pioneer. At that crossroads we joined I Exwia cmaf 0,L'i -iinon Ml I IfiU I "ill .

Woodland, home of showplace lilac gardens, is the junction for the Pl'&L dnms and Yale, and we headed the white car east over state highway 1-S. It's ensy go ing for 12 miles through alternat ing timber and farmland, with an occasional glimpse of the Lewis, its flow harnessed by the two power dams upstream, to Merwin dam and picnic grounds. The picnic area attracts swarms of people all the summer long, and It's understandable aft er even a casual inspection of the facilities tables and benches for groups large or small, free elec tric plates, hot and cold running water, shade trees, rest rooms, ball field, swimming, boating, even a sandbox for toddlers. Best of all as far as the public is concerned, it's all free. The day we were there, the most popular pastime seemed to be fishing . for trout in Lake Merwin. off the top of the dam itself. GcniM Dave Shore, sispcr lntenc;?nl of bo.h Yale and Mer win p-ojrets. showed o.'f the t'-ni -mi.ig generators, with ca pacity to produce 100.000 kilo watt for the Northwest power pool, ana me nsn elevator wnicn hoists salmon from the river into trucks to be hauled to hatcheries or dumped Into the- lake up stream, From Merwin . we continued east along highway 1-S, which skims along the hillside high above 12-mile-long Lake Merwin to Yale. Beyond, the highway borders the reservoir behind Yale dnm, nine miles long, and at the time busy with fishermen. There were reports of a party of six landing 90 trout, all 10 to 14 inches long, within 15 minutes on opening day in the lake, one of the North west's newest Route Retraced to Vale , ' Cougar is the last settlement. We went straight ahead a few miles more, past the Lewis river guard station; turned around and retraced the npute back to Yale, where we turned off for a glance at mighty Yale dam, one of the world's highest earth-fill barriers. There are no facilities for recrea tion, but visitors are welcome to gaze in awe at the engineering feat and admire the view of ML St. Helens across the lake. Turbines in the Yale power house spin to generate 125.090 kilowatts, to make with Merwin a total of 225,000 kilowatts from the Lewis. It may be greater yet in future years, for PP&L has taken out preliminary permits to construct dams at Swift creek and Eagle cliff, both upstream from Yal. There is a variety of possible return routes; we cnose to pass through Amboy, Yacolt, Battle Ground, Brush Prairie and Orchards. . . ' ' Special to The Bulletin PRINEVILLE C. M.
