WASHINGTON. April 6. (An Legislation authorizing a three year Jl.SOO.OOO.OOO fcedral aid highway program starting July 1, J 949, was approved yesterday by the House rules committee. Already approved by the pub lic works committee, it may come before the House next week.. The bill provides authorization for $MO,000,000 for each of the three years starting July 1, 1949, with Die states matching federal contributions on a 50-50 basis. The hulk of the money, 45 per cent, would be available for federal-aid highways; 30 per cent would be for secondary and feed cr roads, and 25 per cent for fed eral aid roads in urban areas. The public works committee es timated that the various states would receive t h e following amounts for eaoh of the three years If Congress appropriates the monev: California, $22,000,000; Oregon, $K,!)!W.000 and Washington J7,-301,000. MODEST MAIDENS TruUnart Rafirtrrf U. S- Fcteot Oftot "I don't mind going out with you Johnny, but three's a crowd leave your inferiority complex tit home!" LETTER FROM WASHINGTON By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, 4th Oregon District In about two weeks, the Fed eral Highway Aid Act of 1948 may ne acted upon hy tne House of Representatives. The bill which was reported to the House In the torm or a clean but is now designated as H. R. 5888. It authorizes appropriations for fed eral aid highways, and the au thorization extends lor tne ensu ing three fiscal years. An important improvement In the road bill Just reported Is that It provides that a state may have three years after the close of the fiscal year for which the sums are authorized in which to com plete construction contracts. Pre viously, the states were required to complete their expenditures within one year. ERP or Nothing I believe most of the members of the House of Representatives wno voted lor the European Re covery bill were displeased with the plan, disliked the bill, and did not feel that the enormous expenditure authorized would ac complish the results claimed hy tne sponsors at the bin. Then why, under the clrcumslances, did they vote for it? There are many parts to a complete answer to that question, but the under lying fundamental reason Is that the governments of Western Eu rope were assured months ago that Congress would approve the plan. They began counting defi nitely on it when the bill passed the Senate with only 11 dissent ing voles. Had the House rejected the ERP l this critical time, the reaction not only in Europe but throughout the world would have been disastrous, and I mean ulti mately disastrous to the United States. Furthermore, we had only the flat choice of doing this or nothing at all. Rogue River Plan Cited After nearly 10 years of inves tigation and study of the ixisxl- hllity of improving and develop ing me water resources ol the Hogue River Basin, the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation has issued a preliminary report. The report is eniiuea "Alternative nans lor Development of the- Water Re sources of the Rogue River Basin, Oregon." A public hearing in con nection wltn tilts report will he held in Meriford on June 8th. The. purpose of the hearing will be to ALLEY OOP obtain information and opinions from local people concerning the alternate development plans sug gested. It should be clearly understood that no hasty decision will be made on this project. Many steps must be taken and much time must elapse before a final deci sion is reached and construction is actually started. After the hearing is held, the Regional Di rector makes a report to the Commissioner of Reclamation. This report is reviewed in Wash ington by the Commissioner and by the heads of the several divi sions of the Department of the Interior, including the Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, etc. All concerned express opinions, offer suggestions or objections, and a proposed final report is then adopted. This report will be sent to the Governor of the State for review by the State Engineer and the State Game Commission. A copy is also sent to the Secre tary of the Army for his com ments, and to the Secretaries of Commerce and Agriculture, and to the Federal Power Commis sion. Comments from all of these people, including the Governor, are requested to be made within 90 days. After the comments arc re ceived, the report, together with the comments, are sent to the President through the Bureau of the Budget. After approval by the Budget, it comes hack to the Sec retary of the Interior and bo comes the Secretary's official rc ort. In the case of the Rogue River report, it will bo sent lo Con gress with the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior. In Congress, it will be referred to the Public Lands Committee. A bill may then be prepared and introduced. After such a bill is introduced in Congress, the com mittees of both House and Senate will undoubtedly hold hearings on it, where all matters in dis agreement may again be re viewed. If a bill authorizing the construction of a Rogue River project is passed by Congress, no work can be started until an ap propriation is marie by Congress.

The 26th International Beauty Show at Grand Central Palace revealed today that miracles of modern science have been har nessed for the slenderizing and beautification of Mr. and Mrs. America. On hand are sitnh nhiDvAmnnlE of postwar civilization as radar mm icicvimuii waves, ine gyro ducing salon, the postural align ment couch, the massage-o-mat and assorted other wonders. The accent is on time and com fort. Most of the gadgets are aimed at speeding up milady's beauty treatment or combining several steps in reducing and beautifying.

The gyro-lator barber chair can when a coin is dropped in a box provide oscillation of the feet andor legs while the cus tomer is being shaved or having his hair trimmed. One of the most fascinating exhibits, however, was the pos tural alignment couch. A pretty blonde demonstrator settled a man on a flat table. His legs were strapped to the table and his shoulders held securely hy metal clamps. Then his hands were extended back over his head to a metal bar which was moved away from the table mechani cally.

It is a long and complicated procedure, but one thing is certain: If a pro posal stands up under all of this screening and investigation, and is finally given an appropriation for construction, it must be a good and valuable project. It must he a project that is eco nomically sound and of proven benefit. Easy There, Boy BY V. T. HAMLIN t THESE TWO CRITTER. IVE SEEN NO LIVINdT..

Karasek, charged in Kederal Court with mail theft, has admitted obtain ing from $70,000 to $100,000 bv theft and fraud in cities through out the United States. The 26-year-old danper Chica goan was arrested here after at tempting to cash a check in a local bank. The check was drawn on the name of a man whose wife worked at the bank and she told officials the check was not good. Apparently sensing that some thing was wrong, Karasek ran from the bank lobby but was cap tured after a chase of several blocks through downtown streets. He was arrested and charged with forgery. Later, Mien said. Karasek told him fie made a regular practice of removing bank statements from apartment house mail boxes, then forging checks on the ac counts after practicing signatures found on the checks. At the time of his apprehension here he had $1,900 in cash on his person and was driving a new expensive automable. Mien said Karasek has served time twice in San Quentin (Calif.) prison for forgery. I don't know of a statement better calculated to empty our colleges. But this is only because of the present flattering prefer ence women show for men with hair. Why do women foster the de lusion that a man topped with cranial shrubbery is more attrac tive to them? Because the bald headed men give them a feeling of inferiority. Women have dominated men since they led them as shambling half-apes out of the forest. But they are secretly afraid of a bald man. They know that he is a symbol of the coming man in telligent, authorative, energetic, and aware of his own superiority to them. They know a bald headed man is too smart for them. Socrates, the greatest philoso pher of our race, was bald. So was Julius Caesar, warrior and empire builder. In our time Charles Boyer, screen epitome of the successful lover, and Blng Crosby, our finest living jukebox artist, have been crowned with more success than hair. Baldness Is the Insignia of civ ilization ; hair is a hangover from savagery. There is a day on the way when a man will have to shave from his eyebrows to the back of his neck to be socially presentable. Then the bald man will have that last laugh he's been waiting to enjoy through history. I sure am glad my hair is Tail ing out. PIANOS Baldwin, Wurlltzor, Gulbranten Otf Piano Dspt at Lund'r Radio 8 tor Phono 1119-J Bald-Headed Man WiH Have Final Laugh In Future By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK () Today we sing a dithyramb in praise of that forlorn hero of the ages the bald-headed man. Those who laugh at a bald headed man only show their ig norance. For the bald-headed man is the man of the future. He has been sent by heaven as a model of what all men will be like some day, when brainpower will be honored over brawn. Meanwhile the bald-headed man, like all pioneers and light bringers, is joked at and ridiculed. "Wanta know how to save your hair?" his friends ask. And when he innocently and hope fully says "how?" they jeer: "Get a .cigar box." There is no reason any longer for bald-headed men to submit to these jibes, because they are com ing into their hour of power. The hairy man has had his day in history and is on the way out. Hair is unkempt, uncouth, un sanitary and unncessary. It is actually an expensive nuisance from our animal cast, a relic as useless as an appendix. There is really no pluce for it in tho machine age. It may remain the glory of womanhood, but it is already out of date on the brow of man, the thinker. Science has- confirmed this. Any number of tcsttube savants have advanced the theory that bald-headed men arc more virile than their fur-headed brothers. The more hormones, the less hair. Sign of Brains And baldness is also a sign of brains. Dr. R. E. G. Armattoe, a scientist from North Ireland, has just completed a study which showed that educated men get bald sooner than uneducated men. C. W.
