and the Rose Festival program In
general faced as a result, the
Band Jamboree was probably the

year made a decided hit at the
jamboree, and its return for this
year's festival, the Invitation
says. Is by "practically statewide
public demand."
The 1948 Festival crowd was
particularly pleased by the Rose
burg band's spectacular quick
time cadence, which ' was pro
claimed one of the outstanding
features of the band show. Lor
raine Losee, majorette for the
Roseburg band, was selected as
Oregon champion.
Director Rlcketta reports that
the band has accepted the Invita
tion and will appear at the festi
val June 8-12.

1,000. But we spent the last half
of the program on improvised
sealing up on the narrow cat
walk surrounding the auditorium,
and separa'ed from It by an iron
grill, where the guards patrol dur
ing assemblage of the prisoners. I
spent a good deal of the time, par
ticularly during the fire-eating
act, wondering what would be
come of us if the blazing torches
should Ignite the draperies or
stage scenery, for that mass of
people attempting to Ille out
thoruch the one or two narrow
exits I could find would be more
difficult than a camel going
through the proverbial eye or. a
needle.
Foolishly I consoled myself
mat anynow 1 was sitting in iront
of a window only to discover that
the window very efficiently barr
ed and totally inaccessible, and
below the window was a twenty
or thirty-foot drop to a gray,
uninviting cement court yard, and
beyond that the quiet dark cur
rent of the mill stream silently
protesting the brick and cement
confines through which it passes.
After the entire program was
over, when I laughlnlg asked one
of the guards if they had fire
drills often, he said "not very
often; this place is fire proof

Humor Injected
A good many bits of light heart
ed humor were displayed by the
performing prisoners. The master
of ceremonies, who reminded me
of one or two well known film
characters, was thoroughly at
home in a tuxedo and only
brought us back to his enforced
presence by such remarks as "We
nave with us tonight I don't
know why I said that because we
nave mm wnn us every nigm,
or, when Introducing a young Ne
gro tap dancer, "If Jim's feet had
moved half this fast the night
that policemen tapped him on the
shoulder he wouldn't be here
now." But I was more impressed
with the pathos of the situation.
The stars weren't in srtlpes. They
were in evening clothes, or white
Jnckets and bow ties and looked
very uebonalre.
A charming young Irish tenor
singing Sigmund Romberg's "One
Alone'' hauntlngly declared that
"Lonely asa desert breeze, I may
wander wTTPre I please." Then
singing with a group of "Main
liners' won were very dehonaire
In while suits we heard the Whlf-
fenproof song with new signifi
cance: "We are little black sheep
who have gone astray" and later
with real feeling they finished
the chorus which you all know
"Doomed from here lo eternity
God have mercy on such as we."
Then as fitting grand climax the
entire cast and orchestra sang
and played "Now Is the Hour'
and left us with the reminder
that "When you return youll
find me waiting here."
The haunting strains of the vio
lin, played by a fine looking
young fellow, followed me from
the hall and somehow I saw a
mother who sometime In the past

Burglary Attempt Fails
At Roseburg High School
An attempt was made late
Saturday night to burglarize the
office safe at Roseburg High

Entry to the building was
made through a window on the

from a corridor was pried open.
The safe was damaged, papers
were mussed, but no money was
taken, the chief said.

Snowstorms and sub freezing

demand careful, Intelligent driv
ing from Oregon highway travel
ers, Secretary of State Newbry
is cautioning motorists.
The secrelarv declared skidding
on slippery pavements was re
sponsible for more than half the
traffic deaths reported to date for
January, and has figured in a
high percentage of minor mishaps
in recent weeks.
"However, It Is faultv reasoning
to blame an accident on skidding
alone when we know the slippery
condition exists and hundreds of
other drivers safely. negotiate the
same roads and streets, the safe
ly official pointed out. "Most skids
are the result of faulty driving or
lack of proper precautions."
He advised drivers to remember
three cardinal points for winter
driving; accerla'.e easily to avoid
spinning the wheels, drive slowly
and well behind the car ahead,
and brake gradually with a pump
ing action to avoid sliding the
tires. Use of tire chains is often
necessary and will always sup
ply an extra margin of safety.

jeopardize their positions In the
coming legislative battle over
whether a power dam should be
built in the Deschutes River.
Pros and Cons Expressed
Legislative comment Included
Sen. Richard L.. Neuberger,
Portland Democrat, father of the
CVA memorial this should make
the people of Oregon awaken to
the Importance of getting ready
for the great development of our
state.
Sen. Howard C. Belton, Canby
Republican I can't see It. The
people of the Northwest are per
fectly capable of solving their
own problems.
Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles
Democrat Federal control Is the
only answer where more than
one state is Involved.
Sen. Paul Patterson, HUlsboro
Republican We should examine
other alternatives, too. Before I
would say CVA is the only an
swer, I would have to examine
whether a Columbia Valley inter
state compact might not be as
good or better.
Sen. Angus Gibson, Junction
City Republican I've always
been opposed to it.
Rep. Sprague Carter, Pendleton
Republican We don't want a
CVA. The valley's affairs should
be In the hands of Its citizens.
There is too much bureaucracy
now. The rise of Mussolini and
Hitler coincides with the opera
tion of the Democratic party In
the United States.
Rep. Gust Anderson, Portland
Republican and a labor official
Tthe President's statement Is
very encouraging.
Rep. Phil Brady, Portland Dem
ocrat I agree with the man of
the hour. It will bring one big
lot of improvement.
Rep. John I. Sell, The Dalles
Republican Before I comment I
would have to be sure CVA Is the
proper solution.
House Speaker Frank J. Van
Dyke, Medford Republican We
are capable of handling our own
problems. It would bring too
much federal control.
Rep. Giles L. French, Moro Re-
Eublican The western states had
etter get their loins well girded
to protect themselves. Aren't the
people in the Columbia Valley to
have more to say about it than
the people of the rest of the U. S.,
who are only Indirectly affected?

Columbia Valley authority was
hailed by farm and labor leaders
here today, but many business
and reclamation groups were ex
pected to bring out the guns
against it.
"We're very pleased with the
president's action," said J. D. Mc
Donald, president of the Oregon
State Federation of Labor, which
has long worked toward a valley
authority in this area.
'The president's request is
gratifying to the membership of
the CIO, who have long sup
ported this measure," commented
Stanley Earl, executive secretary
of the state CIO. "We vision an
enlarged and more prosperous
northwest, with an added increase
in population and industry, when
this project is completed. It is in
the interests of everyone, labor
and management, to lend full sup
port to this worthy enterprise."
The Oregon State Grange,
which only two days ago urged
that the 81st Congress pass legis
lation for a CVA, echoed the
praise. "We're mightily pleased,"
said State Grangemaster Morton
Tompkins, "to hear that Mr. Tru
man plans td make that a part of
his program this year."
Business Hat Pleased
But many business leaders were
expected to launch a full-scale
battle against the proposal.
Al Bauer, president of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce,
withheld comment pending study
of the president's directive, but
other sources pointed out that the
Chamber vigorously opposed simi
lar legislation In the 79th Con
gress. Hillman Lueddemann, chair
man of the board of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and Port
land's "first citizen of 1948," said
he felt control of the basin's de
velopment should remain in local
hands.
"This Northwest country is Just
100 years old, and has made the
most remarkable economic prog
ress of any section In the United
States through the private initia
tive, energy, and enthusiasm of
our citizenry. I can't see any
reason for destroying that and
setting up a federal authority in
its stead.

The 1947 legislature, after a

Newbry wants a system wner

plus a gas tax ranging as high
as 15 cents a gallon.
Baldock thinks that isn't fair.
He likes the present tonnage
mileage svstem, but without the
gas tax refund. Flagg agrees with
Baldock.
Rep. John Hounsell, Hood
River, introduced a bill today
calling for simpler withholding
returns by Oregon employers.
The bill would do away with
withholding returns for employes
who earned less than $100 a year.
