PRESIDENT GEORGES BI DAULT, of France (the host nation), addressing the 1500 dele gates this morning, says: "The hopes of plain men are turned to ward us today." Those are truthful words, and Bldault seems to be a sincere' and straightforward sort of person. (He was a leader of the French underground during the long years of the German occupation, and knows both hope and fear by personal experience.) But IM hopes of plain men have been turned so often to ward peace conferences, and so VERY, VERY frequently these hopes have been dashed. ONLY a little more than a quar ter of a century ago another peace conference assembled at Versailles palace In Paris (at least we have changed palaces this time). The hopes of plain meii were turned toward It. It made an un easy peace that lasted a l'ttle more than a couple of decadep long enough for another genera tion to grow up. Then another and BIGGER war blossomed. 000 A LITTLE better than a century and a quarter ago, a confer ence of nations assembled In Vienna to make peace after the bloody Napoleonic Interlude In Europe. It was known as the Con press of Vienna, and It was a niess from the beginning. Little of value was expected from H, and NOTHING of value came from It. All the Congress of Vienna could think of as a cure for all that Napoleon had done to Eu rope was to restore the dccadeit Bourbon dynasty to the throne of France. It In doubtful If plain men were greatly disappointed In the Congress of Vienna. They knew the gang that was assembled there, and they expected from it nothing more than they got. 0 0 0 AN'E good peace was signed at 3 Paris. It endrd the American Revoluntlonary war. But In J783, America was too insignificant to attract the notice of world power politics. A few plain men from England and America simply Rot together unobtrusively In Paris and did the obviously sensible thing. Vast good to the world has f stilted therefrom. IT is an exceedingly good thin that the power politicians of Europe couldn't foresee In 1783 the rise of the United States of America. They then looked upon the American colonists as mere ly a set of unwashed backwoods- men, wholly beneath their notice. So, after what was to us then a- tremendously important war we got off to a good peace. Because we, grew too big, nod became "important" In world power polities, we haven't been so fortunate In our later wars. THE making of a Just pen. that could practically outlaw war in the world COULD be so simple. Ail that would bo needed would be'.l sof or pliliii, honest, sincere men following the simple pre cept of the Golden Rule: "Do ye unto others as ye would that oth ers shall do unto you."

COPCO'S POWER PROGRAM By CHARLES V. STANTON The California Oregon Power Company has received final authority for construction of its projected Toketee Falls hydroelectric plant. This unit, first of six projected on the North Umpqua River, is estimated to cost $3,200,000, includ ing transmission lines to the Dixonville sub-station. Other proposed developments include sites at Slide Creek, two in the Lemola Falls area, and two on Clearwater River, a tribu tary of the North Umpqua. We have heard and read a great deal of controversial opinion in recent months concerning hydroelectric develop ment and its effect upon fish life. This issue has been par ticularly emphasized in connection with additional high dams proposed in the Columbia River, and new development planned for the Santiam, McKenzie, Rogue and other rivers in Oregon. Many Douglas County conservationists have been greatly perturbed by the Copco project, fearing it would adversely affect the Umpqua River fishing resource. Thorough investigation of Copco's plans was made by the State Game Commission, sportsmen's organizations and nu merous individuals. It is the general belief that unless opera tive methods produce excessive fluctuations in water level below the power plants, there can be no serious damage to fish life. Toketee Falls, 80 feet in height, is a natural barrier to fish migration. All fishlife above the falls came about through plantings. Thus, dams situated above the falls will not in any manner interfere with fish migration. Any dams located below detrimental to the fishing has at all times been the natural terminus of upstream fish migration, any development ing fish passage is concerned, will have no adverse effect. Danger to fish life lies in the possibility of fluctuations in water level due to power plant operations. If, by periodically clo.sing dams to impound water in stor age, spuwning beds are allowed to become exposed, through lowered water level below the clams, or are subjected to heavy washing when power plants are in operation, consid erable damage is possible. It is expected, however, that the plants will be in continuous operation and that the flow of water, therefore, will be comparatively constant, thus elimi nating danger of damage to spawning beds. Copco proposes to erect a dam 45 feet in height and 350 feet in length above Toketee. This dam will thereby create a cold water, mountain lake which should in itself be a most valuable scenic and recreational resource. We anticipate that this artificial lake will soon become well stocked with Rain bow trout, which drop downstream from Diamond Lake, or with other species of trout, now to be found in the upper reaches of the river. Thus the development will, in ajioeas urecoffset tlio change from the natural scenic beauty 'of the falls area. Water to the power house will be carried througti more than a mile of wood stave pipe and concrete-lined tunnel to develop 25,000 kilowatts. Additional installations are ex pected to approximately double capacity of the first unit. Power to be furnished from the generating units is most critically' needed. Douglas County's industrial growth is de manding more and more electric power. 'Present capacity is entirely inadequate. Even the domestic supply is insufficient to meet requirements. Copco now has on file industrial appli cations which will necessitate almost doubling the amount of power now being furnished the area. . Altogether the Copco program, in our opinion, is admi rably planned, in that it contemplates an ample supply of power to meet local needs, while, at the same time, requiring no sacrifice of scenic and recreational resources. Piluso to Defend Mat Title Against Hager Saturday Ernie Piluso, Portland Italian, will defend his world lipht-heavy-welijht wrestling championship Saturday night at the Roseburg Armory ai'ainst headlnrking Tex Hager. The bout will be over a two-out-of-thrce falls, one-hour time limit route and will head line Matchmaker Don Owen's weekly program. rlluso won the world title sev eral mouths ago from Danny MaeShaln in Los Angeles anil still has it despite a strenuous series of defenses against the best challengers In the area. Saturday night's bout will be his first defense against Hager, the "Creswell Cyclone." Hager has Just returned from a swing through the midwest and Chicago where he appeared as a head line attraction. A capacity crowd is expected to Jam the Armory for Saturday night's battle. A 30-minute, two out of three falls semi-final will support the championship bout. The semi- Html win it-itlUR- unngi-a i-.vi- sette", the strong-armed French Canadian, against rought and tough Bob Keneston. Owen said that he would line up a one-fall opener which will make the show one of the most attractive ever offered at the Armorv. Monarchs, Elks to Play Grants Pass Teams Two of Roseburg's Clly League contenders for the district title journey to Grunts Pass tonight for games with two Oregon Slate softbail Association members of that city. The local Elks meet the Cavemen Elks in a return match and the local undefeated Monarchs vie with Burpees' Sport ing store. The local Elks edged out the visiting lodge nine 10-9 in their last contest which almost ended in a slugfest. For the Monarchs tonight s contest w ill also be their the falls would, of course, be resource, but as Toketee Falls above that site, insofar as block second contest against an out-of-town club, having lost to the Eugene Chamber of Commerce ID "), and should prove to lie an all-around test as to their actual strength in southern Oregon, as their opponents. Hurpees' Sporting Store, is also underrated in their respective city league. Baseball Standings National (By the Associated Press) VV L Pet.

This statement was erron eous and was caused by a mis interpretation of information re ceived. The Crescent City-Med-ford game was a non-league af fair and the outcome had no bearing on the league standings. The sports writer very much re grets this error. Southern Oregon Baseball League game results Sunday: Crescent City 11, Gold Hill 4. Medford 6, Tri-City 2. Umpqua Chiefs 13, Central Point 2. Grants Pass was idle while Ashland walked over Klamath Falls, 15 to 6, in a non-league tussle.

Loses to Dodgers 2-fo-l Score : (By the Associated Press) The Brooklyn Dodgers are rid ing tugn today, nouncing along on a 34 game lead wilh Pollet, the best St. Louis Cardinal huiler. out of the way. When the Dodgers dumped Pol- let In last mgnt s series opener, 21, they struck a mighty blow in defense of their world series as pirations. . The Cardinals needed a clean sweep of the three-game set at Brooklyn to snatch first place irom tno uoagers nut now the best he can do is cut the margin to 11 games by tomorrow night. Mellon, Durocher's long shot starting choice, got home wilh his first win of the season al though he needed bullpen help irom dependable Keminan in the ninth. Once again, as is the custom in Flalbush, Dixie Walker provided the base hit that put the Brooks in the ball game, his seventh inning single converting Reese's triple into the tying scor. Then Fiiiillo bounced a ground rules double to apply the clincher. Chicago losl ground in the race by bowing to the New York Giants, 3-2, on Pinch Hitter Rosens single with the bases loaded In the ninth. Schoolboy Rowe chalked up his llth triumph for the Phillies over Cincinnati, 8-1, with Seiminck's bat booming for lour hits includ ing a three-run homer. A sched uled Pittsburgh-Boston night game was postponed because of rain. Bosox Increase L6.id Interest in the American League turned to the second place halile between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers as the Boston Red Sox Increased their lead to 121 games by blank ing Cleveland, 1 0. Dave Ferriss racked up No. 1-7 on a three-hit verdict over Grnmek. Teddy Wil liams cracked his 28th homer and Russell his fourth in the Sox's 70th win. Trucks fanned 13 Yanks in earn ing his 12th success, 6-5. Heath's home run blast with two mates on bases gave St. Louis a 63 edge over Washington in 11 Innings. Philadelphia chased Papish with a six-run seventh liming to down the White Sox, 9 2. The famous laurel leaves which crowned Greek heroes really were bay leaves. rOR GOOD HEALTH!
