NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1948 TWO Gens Rambo Wins Top Rodeo Title SANT FRANCISCO, Nov. . UP) A good rest on his home ranch at Shandon, Calif., was all that Gene Rambo hankered after today. He had S3.250 in his jeans, a trophy saddle and a fancy, jeweled gold and silver belt buckle as the 1948 all-around champion cowboy of the Interna tional Rodeo Association. Rambo was awarded the cham- ionship as the Grand National lvestock Show and Rodeo ended last night. The roundup here was desig nated as the 1. R. A. finals for a long string of arena shows throughout the west. Points are awarded on the basis of one for each dollar of prize- money won. Barney Willis, White Salmon, Wash., was runnerup to Rambo. Sonny Tureman, John Day, Ore,, won the bareback bronc riding championship, with $1000. In steer wrestling Barney Wil lis won the bolt buckle and $1250. Everett Shaw, Stonewall, Okla., won $1250 for the steer roping championship. - - Buck Sorrels, -Tucson, Ariz., won the calf roping champion ship, worth $1250. Carl Olson, Cardston, Alberta, Canada, took the saddle bronc riding championship of the I. R . A. Gene Prultt, Yakima, Wash., was second. The top award was worth $1000. New Party Leader Is Sought by Republicans (Continued from Page One) Michigan. Rep. Clarence Brown of Ohio is mentioned among House members. Governors who might be re garded now as available for one of the top spots on the ticket four years hence include Alfred K Driscoll of New Jersey, Ernest W. Gibson of Vermont, Luther W. Youngdahl of Minnesota and Frank Carlson of Kansas. While most of the new crop of Republican hopefuls hold public office, Stassen has perhaps as good a forum as any of them in his presidency of the University of Pennsylvania. His understand ing with the university is that he is to have a free hand to engage in politics. Stassen's appeal to many Re publicans lies largely in their be lief that he has widespread In fluence among younger voters. It was this asset, more than any other, which was said to have led Dewey to forget some of Stas sen's pre-convention cracks and invite his former opponent to take an active part in the campaign. Columbia River Basin Development Mapped (Continued from Pagj One) stream plants at a cost of $53, 880,000; Build transmission lines link ing the entire system at a cost of $102,669,000; Improve river chnnnels and harbors at a cost of $3,650,000; Build new and extend existing Irrigation projects at a cost of $273,324,000; Relocate and rehabilitate sal mon runs to 1hc lower Columbia at a cost of $20,000,000; Complote the Willamette Val loy 20-dam development plan In Western Oregon at a cost of $390, 746,000 to the federal govern ment and $41,141,000 to local gov ernments; Provide flood protection and other improvements in local null basin areas at a federal cost of $29,155,000 and loca.! cost of S2, 072,000. On the basis of Jnnuary, 1948, estimates, the total over all basin development would cost $3,030,. Flood Control Lilted Col. Weaver summarized the re sults of the program when com pleted In this way: Flood damage such as that ex perienced In Juno would be vir tually eliminated; the Installed and integrated regional power system would be 11,700,000 kilo watts; barge navigation on the Columbia and Snake Rivers would reach to Lime Point, Ida ho; new water would pour onto 500 square miles of now arid land and supplemental water would be provided many more thousands of acres; fisheries would develop on the basis of lower vallev fish runs. The plan calls for seven dams In addition to those already au thorized: 1, Llhby on the Kootc- The Weather U. 8.

Wash., and Oregon, S379, 826,000; 7, The Dalles, Columbia River, Wash., and Oregon, $286, 286,000. All of the seven dams would have power units. All but The Dalles would aid in flood control. All but Priest Rapids would have navigation features. The Dalles and John Day dams would aid irrigation. Grand Coulee dam's outlet would be modified for flood con trol at a cost of $250,000. Irrlaation Provided For Irrigation projects endorsed by the Bureau of Reclamation are the Bltterroot Valley, including Woodslde unit and Missoula val ley north side unit on Montana; upper Star Valley project in Wyoming; Mountain Homo-ray-ette unit. CambrldEe Bench, Council and Mann Creek projects In Idaho; Canby, Crooked River, Vale-Bully Creek extension and The Dalles west unit in Oregon and the Yakima-Kennewlck divis ion project in Washington. The Willamette Valley plan, an nounced several months ago, calls for 20 mulllple-purpose pro ects, five of which have been built or are under construction. Relatively small sub-basin pro! ects, including those previously recommended, would cost $29, 155.000. New protects include Bonners Ferry on the Kootenai River, Idaho; Clarke Fork, Mont.; Yakima River, Wash.; Columbia and minor tributaries above and below Yakima; upper, central and middle and lower Snake Riv ers areas in Wyoming and Idaho. Col. Weaver noted that since Congress requires irrigation proj ects to be self liquidating, the costs above what farmers can pay might be met by adding bo cents a kilowatt to the power cost. He made the sugestlon witneut rec ommendation. He explained that since both the irrlnatlon and the power are essential to regional development, the payment irom power wouju be a regional subsidy rather than a national allotment to the re gion. Two other compensation sug gestions were included: One would provide for annual pay menls to the slates where local governments lose tax revenues because of the projects; Indians would be provided new fishing grounds or given other compen sation for the loss of traditional rights. Revision in Income Tax Cut Truman's Plan (Continued from Page One) percentage saving big for low-Income people but tiny lor those In the high brackets. The President estimated the cost of his plan at $3,200,000,000. He proposed that amount be made up by an excess profits tux. In any event, the White House has sent word around to the various government departments that they will have to contend Willi "a hard-boiled policy." Budget Director Jnmes E. Webb told reporters about It after a talk with Mr. Truman lasl Sat urday. He said he and the Presi dent went over fund requests for 16 departments and agencies, and In most cases decided to hold the amounts below those Con gress voted for this year. Webb did not say which agen cies were Involved, hut he did make clear that the military ser vices were not among them. Largely because of stepped up defense planning, there have been predictions- that next years bud get may run some $.l',(Xl,000,000 above the $12,000,000,000 outlnv projected for the present govern ment year ending next June 30.

Roseburg Will Vote Again on Annexation (Continued from Page One) not clear In his mind, after he had made considerable study. He said that if it were merely a mat ter of electing councilmen no court would throw the election out, but since matters of taxa tion and bonding would be in volved there might be a differ ence. He said it might be possi ble to have the State Legislature at its next session validate the election. Representative Robert C. Glle, who was pieseut, said unofficial ly he would hesitate to ask the Legislature to validate an elec tion in which only 12 votes sepa rated the affirmative and nega tive votes. City Attorney Paul Geddes, not present at the meeting, had stated on Thursday he did not believe the election would stand up in a court test. Election Preferred Mayor Flegel exDressed the opinion the council should either abide by the cily attorney's de decision or call in outside legal advice. The councilmen voting on the ordinance did so on the basis that it would be better to have the matter cleared up by a sec ond election than to face prob lems which might arise, if the election were certified. The election Dec. 10 will have to be conducted in both the city and in West Roseburg. The hours, designated bv the city charter for all-city election, will be be tween 9 a. m. and 6 p. m. The date set was recommended by the city attorney in order to allow the time legally required for advertising an election.

Thomas was charged with con spiracy and also with a series of overt acts in the filing of alleged ly false claims. Court officials said that con viction on all the charges against Thomas would carry :. possible maximum sentence of 32 years In prison, $40,000 In fines, or both. George Morris Fay, U. S. dis trict attornev, said tin court was notified that Thomas will ap pear Tuesday of next week for arraignment. Fay said the trial, under nor mal procedures, could not take place before January.
