Horan said that $128,000,000 of

He said $t4,&91,250 of funds ap

wel as Slti6.550.000 of the S351.-
550,030 appropriated by Congress

"This amounts to a grand total
of more than $350,000,000 in
funds already appropriated for
reclamation and liver develop
ment which the rruman admin
istration has refused to expend."
Horan said. "The holding of this
money appropriated by Congress
for wealth producing projects
at this time can hardly be de
fended." Stockman-Raver Dispute

Jones asked data also on the
costs and expenditures computed
per mile of line. fc.. I). 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.

said it would take in 2,000 em

And then Stockman broke out.

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.
Four Children and Their
Grandmother Die in Fire
EAST BRADY, Pa., April 21.
UP)- Four children and their
grandmother perished In a flre(
in 11113 wrsil-lll n-mi ivaiua
town Friday, but five other
persons were saved In a dramat
ic second-story rescue as flames
singed their hair and seared their
skin.
The dead were Grace, 10; Tom
mle, 4; Dannie, 3, and Sally-Jo
Jordan, 1 year, and Mrs. George
Jordan, 50.
While flames raced up a Rtalr
way and Into a bedroom of their
home, the children's mother, Mrs.
Walter Jordun, saved three other
daughters by dropping them into
the arms of the severely burned
grandfather, outside.
Finally the Intense heat drove
the mother to Jump from the
bedroom window herself, oblig
ing her to leave behind the five
who burned to death.

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

the strike is beginning to tell on
some lines of business, It is re
ported. 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.
