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

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-

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.

W. 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.
Indictment Hits
Congressman Thomas
(Continued from Pago One)
He added he might have a state
ment later.
The committee headed by
Thomas was in the spotlight
throughout the year in its inves
tigations Into Communist and sub
versive activities during and since
the war.
Rn. Elected Last Tuesday
Thomas was re-elected last
Tuesday. However, he will lose
his chairmanship when Demo
crats take control ''. Congress
In January.
The conspiracy was alleged to
have run from Jan. 1, 1940, to
Jan. 30, 1945.
Miss Campbell was accused
only of the alleged conspiracy.
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.
Tim Indictment chnrces Thom
as with 34 "overt acts," that is
specific Instances of wrongdoing.
