Ostrander. comptroller of the BPA. told him he could not promise it in a week, adding it "might take months." I he next day Jones wanted a breakdown of the qualifications of each employee of the BPA, witn their experience and wtiat they are supposed to do." D. L. Murk-It, assistant administrator, said it would take in 2,000 em ployees and cover their starting salaries, plus promotions and would be a large mechanical Job, but the agency would be glad to lurnisn u. Stockman Raps 'Excuses' And then Stockman broke out. "Dr. Raver," he said, "I have PLUMBING CO. Phone 413-Y AUTO CO. Phone 97 tt. i i i , i i Hi LINE UP M with NBEAR heard nothing but excuses from you and your staff about why you cannot furnish requested Infor mation. The committee does not react favorably to It. Everytlme the chairman has asked for something you men have spent more time telling why you could not do it than why you can. This is not the way to promote favor able relationships and I don't like your atatitude." Jones Interposed: "It would seem to me, Mr. Stockman, they surely knew their personnel would come under strict surveillance at least this year, and they ought to be able to answer with clarity and dis patch any questions 'relating to the operation and maintenance of their over all administration-con struction, transmission lines and sales. Your administration may look like a pretty good picture and then It may not when we get down to analyzing facts I have requested. "I would like to make It clear, Mr. Chairman," Marlett replied, that we are not ob lectins In any way to supplying whatever Infor mation you want. All we want to have Is adequate time to sup ply It That Is the only point I was making. I am sorry if my remarks here Interpreted as re sistance to supplying them be cause that Is not true." Jones Also Critical 'We had considerable discus sion yesterday about your ability to furnish the breakdown I want ed," Jones said. "Yesterday after the session you wanted to know our objective. It Is my under standing that you are here to answer questions put to you and the objective Is ot no concern to you. We can make whatever analysis we wish. "Again, I feel more than a slight resistance to answering the questions I liave propounded. . . . 1 asked you yesterday lor a oreaK- down of the cost per mile for construction of transmission lines and then another breakdown of the cost of substations on each segment of your grid and for the total. You tell me there are some $15,000,000 Involved that cannot be analyzed. And yet this morn ing you report figures showing the cost per mile of operation and maintenance. It shows that you have deducted, and must have deducted the cost per mile of con struction personnel and other obligations. "This morning you gave opera tion and maintenance flpures and represent to the committee that they are true and correct when they serve your purpose. If you can give operation and mainten ance costs per mile you can fur nish the cost per mile of construc tion. As far as I am concerned we are not going to make up this bill (decide on the total amounts) until we have those figures. "I have only one vote on the committee and I am just the chairman, but we are going to have them." When Stockman got back to his office that night he wrote Secre tary Krug of 1he Interior Depart ment demanding Raver be dis charged. Krug, en route west, suid In Idaho he would not do it.

Phone Strike Pickets Stage Brief Blockade (Continued from Page 1) line their next step publicly at this time, they told a reporter they feel the strike has reached a "crucial stage." Apparently there was no pros pect of government seizure of the Industry. At least. Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman said he knew of no plans for such a ; move. Entering Its third week, the i 340.IRHt-worker phone tleup stood as the only major blot on an otherwise placid V. S. lar rela tions picture.

Particularly hard hit have been the numerous sawmills ot this area, doubly discommoded by last week's Copco fire-caused shut down. The silence of lonp li tance communication facilities puts them out of touch with mar ket conditions and lumber-selling prospects, mill men report. Many long distance calls have been successfully put through, thanks to the efficiency of three or four persons of the telephone company's supervisory switch board staff. A visiting telephone official in Roseburg Saturday stated that there have been enough emerg ency calls here to keep business rolling, but added that tne strike is taking its toll among idle gos sipers and planners of general social affairs. Steel Wage Pact Brings Cheer to Whole Industry (Continued from Page One) Murray and Stephens settled in three days of highly private man-to-man conferences: An additional $1 a day (or 121 cents an hour) for all workers. plus slightly more than two and one half cents which the union said would cover the cost of additional benefits and bring total raises to a little more than 15 cents. Fairless said the average week ly pay would rise from $52.50 to $58.50 under the new contract, which will be retroactive to April 1. He put the average hourly wage rate at $1.57. " Senate Groups Ready For Tax Slashing Bills (Continued from Page IV Committee, who prefer to wait until July 1. What New Bill Provides The Democratic whip said his substitute, besides delaying the cut until next year, would: A. Hikh exemptions for depend ents from $500 to SfiOO and thus remove 3,200.000 persons from federal tax rolls. B. Cut each surtax next In come bracket by two percentage point". C. Permit husbands and wives In all states to split their Income for tax purposes. The govern ment permils this now by resi dents of only nine so-called com munity property states. I he ef fect in many instances is to avoid hit'her surtax rates. The House bill would cut low bracket income taxes by 30 per cent and most others bv one- fifth. Its cost to the treasury has been estimated at $4,000,000,000. I.ucns said his measure would cost $3,800,000,000. In his statement last Saturday. President Truman declared that now, when a balanced budget Is being achieved, he wants to em phasize the need for reducing the ouhlle debt "while times are good." "It Is natural for taxpayers to wish to see taxes reduced." the President's statement continued. PORTFR CREEK CAFE NOW OPEN 12 Miles South on Hwy. 42 6 A. M. to 9 P. M. Week Day 1 P. M. to S P. M.
