A $341,980,000 Interior Depart ment appropriations bill became the financial guinea pig for the test at the hands of a joint con gressional conference committee. As It passed the Senate late yeserday, the measure carried nearly twice the $79,426,800 allo cations previously approved by the House. It would give the In terior Department about $138, 000,000 more than last year. Senate passage, by roll call tally of 44 to 19, came only after Senator Bridges (R.-N. H.) termed the bill ''the worst money grab the Senate has enacted in a "long, long time" a "slap In the face of economy, a slap at pri vate industry." With this money measure out of the way, the Senate turned Its attention to a $4,100,009,000 sup ply bill for the Navy. Here, too, the appropriations committee rec ommended more than approved by the House, boosting the total $49,000,000. Before final action on the In terior bill, the Senate approved $7,500,000 for the Southwestern Power Administration and grant ed $4,572,000 for construction of power transmission lines at Cali fornia's central valley project. Funds for the two federal proj ects were voted by narrow mar gins despite a bitter two-day protest that they constituted a trend toward socialization, a threat to private enterprise, and a menace to state sources of revenue. Senators McCarran (D.-Nev.) and Elmer Thomas (D.-Okla.) led an unsuccessful fight to halt con struction on all ' future govern ment power projects until Con gress could establish an over all policy on nationalization of elec trical energy. U. S. Plan to Train China Army Waits On Congress O.K. WASHINGTON OF) The United States Is ready to help train a Chinese army of possibly 1,000,000 men, provided congress gives its okay. The training would Include both central government and communist troops, in a ratio of five to one. The exact number of men still Is uncertain, but Gen. George C. Marshall, special ambassador to China, has approved a program developed by the state, war and navy departments calling for an "effective small army" of 00 di visions. That descriptive came from of ficials who said the objective Is three-fold: 1. To enable China to maintain her internal security. 2. To help preserve peace In Asia and, 3. To cooperate In whatever way Is necessary with United Na tions peace forces yet to be or ganized. Secretary of State Byrnes sent Acting Senate President McKel Iar a request for the necessary legislation before he left for the Big Four foreign ministers meet ing in Paris. The proposal was referred to the foreign relations committee for action. "I firmly believe," Byrnes wrote McKellar, "that the na tional Interest in the establish ment and preservation of peace and security in Asia, requires that the United States give aid to the Republic of China by assisting that country to organize and maintain modern military forces of moderate size which will per mit China to make a substantial contribution to peace In that part of the world." Some of the officers still In China are reported to have been held there In anticipation of such an assignment. Warehouse Permit Given Wholesale Grocery Co. Hudson-Duncan & Co., whole sale grocers, have received ap proval of their application lor construction of a prefabricated frame steel building at Roseburg to be used for a wholesale gro cery warehouse, the CPA an nounced today.

Site for the struc ture has not been announced. 'Hie CPA has denied the ap plication of the 1WA T,ornl No. Season for Federal Projects Reopens Amid Porkbarrel Cry By EARL BERKLEY WASHINGTON The inevitable (In peacetime) "project" sea son is back In Congress. A rivers and harbors bill, first since before the war, has been passed by the House and sent to the Senate. It proposes expendi tures of at least a billion dollars. So does a flood control bill to be considered later. Final passage of the measures probablv certain won't mean high expenditures Immediately. Money will De provmea over ine years as construction moves for ward. President Truman likes such programs. He says they create a backlow of public works for slack time jobs and at the same time assure orderly and full develop ment of ine country s water re sources. Opposition' Raised But there's opposition, too. Pri vate power people say pumic power development puts govern ment In competition with private enterprise. The railroads usuauv mosi oi them don't like the idea of too much federal spending for im provement of waterways. That s competition for the rails. Thi.ro la little SeriOUS ODDOSi- tion to ourely flood control proj ects, although there are those wno look with misgiving on soending too much for them. Procedure Extensive A nrnlect travels a long and sometimes a rough road before It finally Is anproved or rcjecica Dy Congress. Here's how it is han dled: Someone decides It Is needed. It Is proposed to Congress. A committee authorizes the Army engineers to make a survey. They go to the scene, consider the cost and the benefits, and hold hear of a $10,760 meeting hall. The union naa proposed 10 uuuu a structure of pumice blocks. CIO Leader Protests OPA Extension Plan WASHINGTON. June 21 W Senate-House conferees on OPA extension today agreed on a for mula for setting manufacturers' profit margins and passing in creased costs along to the con sumer. It was a modified version of the Taft amendment which Sta bilization Director Bowles has called a "delayed action bomb" that will explode in an unending stream of higher prices all across the board." As the agreement was reported from behind closed doors, CIO Chief Philip Murray went to the White House to urge President Truman to take the leadership in the "preservation of a decent, strong OPA." U. S. Proposes 4-Power Control Over Japan Continued From Page 1 also be deprived of al sorts of bases and factories for producing arms and shall be allowed only civil police having small arms, and such explosives as are neces sary for Industrial users." 2. To enlorce tnesc oojeciives, the four powers would operate, through the control commission, an Inspection system which would keep constant Japanese disarma ment and demilitarization. 3. The Japanese themselves would have to accent this method of keeping themselves disarmed. 4. In case ot any violation oy tile Japanese, the four powers would move in "by common agreement" with the necessary forces to put the Japanese in their place again. 5. The treaty would come Into force when it has been ratified by each of the four governments and could be renewed after 25 years for an additional 25-year period. Any changes to be made then would depend on how far the Japanese would have ad vanced "in the reconstruction of their life on a democratic and peaceful basis."

The engineers make their rec ommendation to Congress. If it is favorable, the proper committee holds hearings. If the commit tee's decision is favorable, the Eroject goes Into an "omnibus'' ill with many other projects. The measure goes to the House or Senate. Either Senate or House can eliminate, or add, prolects. Finally approved by Congress, the bill goes to the President. He can veto or approve It. But approval by the President doesn't build the project. An ap nropriation bill has to be passed b" both houses first and accepted by the President. Finally the engineers have au thority to modify the project or to change their minds and not build it at all. Cry of "Porkbarrel" The word porkbarrel" re sounds In Congress during noisy debate over project bills. A pork barrel bill has been defined as one In which various congress men agree to vote for projects in each other's district. Advocates contend such a de scription is unfair, that their sole purpose is to Improve waterways and provide flood protection. But both sides agree that it helps a congressman at home If a project is authorized in an election year. Ore., have rented the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh and took pos session Saturday.

Phone 896 Coal Prices Increased To Meet Wage Boosts Continued From Fage 1 effective immediately, but In most cases the higher costs ap ply retroactively to all sales since May 13, when OPA author ized seller-buyer agreements for later payment of any increases granted. The new price schedule applies at present only while the bitumi nous mines are operated by the government, which seized the pits during the strike which ended May 29. President Truman told his news conference yesterday he did not know when the government will turn back the mines to their owners. Bituminous mine operators have delayed opening negotia tions with Lewis, UMw president, until OPA granted price in creases to compensate for wage hikes the government allowed. But there was no immediate sign that the mine owners will start dickering with Lewis right away on a contract similar to the one negotiated by the govern ment. Ezra Van Horn, chairman of the bituminous operators negoti ating committee, told a reporter "there is no meeting scheduled (with Lewis) and no indication that any overtures will be made immediately." He expressed the opinion that the operators will want to Btudy the new prices first. Maj. Gen. Halsey Will Leave for Japan June 30 (Continued From Page 1) Corps, a part of Gen. Patton's Third Armv. Gen. Halsey was the first gen eral to make German civilians bury the concentration camp dead and his example was followed by other generals of the Allied armies. When re-deployment ot troops to Japan began following V-E day, the 97th was among the first divisions picked. "We went into Japan standing up, for which I am thankful," the general com mented.

He re-joined his family in Boston, Mass., where they are now, but he hopes to have them In Japan with him as soon as he can be settled in his new assignment.

Before entering a rodeo show for participation, each par ticipant must pay an entrance fee which enables him to enter as many events as he chooses. Ma jority of the contestants travel sections of the country that they believe will bring in the most prize money. West Is Stepping Stone Gerald Roberts, who holds three silver buckles for events won at Madison Square Garden, New York City, said "most of the fel lows In this particular show either came to the West Coast for a change of scenery or to build up a reputation in the smaller shows. Ail of us in this show are looking forward to getting into the big and final one at Madison Square, but it s tnese smaller snows tnat get you there." Roberts reportedly drove 1,750 miles to reacn tne west coast circuit for its present tour. After entering shows In Roseburg, Ta- coma, Mollala, and Ogden, utan, he plans to tour toward the East Coast. Extension of Draft Exempts 18-Year-Olds Continued From Page 1 months of service will make man eligible for discharge, upon application It also calls for the release of fathers now in the service, upon application, after Aug. 1, 1946, and no more dratting ot lathers. Pay Increases Voted Along with the draft act ex tension, the conferees also ap proved a pay increase plan for all men and officers of all the armed services. Like exemption of 18-year-olds, the pay hike represented a vic tory for the House conferees who had insisted upon a separate bill providing mgner salaries in ine armed forces. The Senate originally incorpor ated pay increases in its draft ex tension measure. The increases were limited to enlisted personnel with biggest jumps for army pri vates, corporals, and sergeants 119 N.
