Senator Cain Divorce
Action Is Dismissed
TACOMA, June 15. UP)
The divorce action of U. S. Sen
ator and Mrs. Harry P. Cain has
been dismissed. It was revealed
here Tuesday.
The action was taken vester.
day afternoon by Superior Judge
ah a noseiiini on action of
Mrs. Cain's attorneys.
Finseth said the matter had not
been discussed in previous meet
ings. They voted no.
President Edgar W. Smith and
others said it had been discussed
many times informally, Chambers
adding that the move is strongly
favored by many members of the
Legislature, and was discussed fre
quently during tne recent session.
Lobby comment afterwards in
dicated that Salem may be fav
ored as a central and "neutral"
location, and that it may take
close to a year to obtain suitable
quarters and complete the trans
fer. Dr. C. D. Byrne, secretary of
tne Doaro, saia aDouc iu persons
are involved in the offices of the
chancellor, the board secretary
ana budget department. The cen
tralized business office has been
at Corvallis since the system was
organized and is apparently not
involved in the projected shift.
Main board offices were estab
lished at Eugene in January, 1933,
when the first chancellor. Dr. W.
J. Kerr, suggested that location,
temporarily at least.
Salaries, Wages Upped
Budgeted funds for the five in
structional units total $8,488,873.
The total budget exceeds that of
last year by about $2,600,000 of
which more than a million dol
lars goes to salary and wage in
creases. Increased costs oi ma
terials and expanded services ac
count for the rest, the finace
committee reported.
An additional $1,221,298.90 in
the budget was earmarked for
special ; rese. ves and purposes
such as state retirement assess
ments, equipment, dormitory utili
ties, land purchases and other
items. J
The I budget provides for con
tinuation on a part-time basis of
some staff members reaching
normal retirement ace. In accord'
ance with recent legislative ac
tion. Each case is to be reviewed

Housing Bill. Sent To Floor,
Strikes Drive For Economy
WASHINGTON, June 15. (API The House Rules Commit,
tee Tuesday sent the administration's housing legislation to the
floor. The action clears the way for a House vote on it next
week.
The committee acted when confronted with a threat that it
would be by-passed under the new "anti-bottlenecking" pro
cedures. The rules group kept similar legislation bottled up in the last
Congress.
Estimates of the cost of the legislation runs from $9,000,000,
000 to $19,000,000,000 over a 40-year period.
As 'the Committee voted to clear the bill, Rep. Cox (D.-Ga.l,
a member, issued a statement saying "we are doing that which
Russia so much desires. We are bankrupting our country."
The housing program, one of Mr. Truman's major campaign
promises, was passed by the Senate April 21 by a 57 to 13
vote. In the House it has collided with an economy drive. Some
members are attacking it as "Socialism." The outcome of the
prospective House vote is in doubt.
The bill calls for a vast program of slums clearance, low rent
housing and tarm housing aids.

Child Brutally
Beaten By Father
YAKIMA, Wash., June 15. UB.
Little 44-year-old Joyce Mlnon
perked up Tuesday, apparently re
covering from the beating her
father has admitted he gave the
tot last Saturday "because she
woman t eat.
The father, Walter E. Minon,
41, is being held on an open
charge until it is known whether
the child will live.
Sheriff's deputies, summoned to
the Minon home by a sister-in-law
who lives next door, said the
youngster lay unconscious on a
davenoort for more than 24 hours.
When they took Joyce to a hos
pital Sunday, both eyes were swol
len shut and her skull was "'al
most pulpy." An x-ray examina
tion failed to show any fracture,
but her doctor said later "thpre
are clinical evidences enough."

WASHINGTON, June 15. rP)
Senator Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa)
is setting out next to attack the
atomic energy c o m m i s s i o n's
spending of the taxpayer's dol
lar. The Iowa senator, pressing his
charges of "incredible misman
agement" against Commission
Chairman David E. Lllienthal,
picked for his first target at to
day's hearing a secret atomic
installation at the Hanford,
Wash., plutonium plant. . .
The cost of the Hanford proj
ect already has stirred up con
siderable congressional Interest.
Described as the "capstone" to
the whole Hanford operation, the
facility originally was expected
to cost b,j3o,uuu. me commis
sion now estimates It will cost
$24,950,000.
Senator McMahon (D.-Conn.),
chairman of the House-Senate
Atomic Committee, told reporters
yesterday that he had started an
investigation into the project as
soon as he had heard early (his
year about the greatly Increased
cost.
The Senate Appropriations Sub
committee on independent of
fices, to which the AEC must
turn for money, also has had it
under discussion.
Hickenlooper was told to go
ahead on his new line of inquiry
at a closed-door meeting of the
joint committee yesterday.
And, after consulting with the j
five atomic commissioners, the
committee decided that the mat-!
ter could be discussed in public
without "damage to security." . !
Cost Increase Defended '
Details of the facility, for
which the General Electric Co. I
is contractor, still are shrouded I
in secrecy.
Carleton Shugg. the commis
sion's deputy general manag?r,
told the appropriations group
last week that the product is one I
iou wnicn you neea a oetter word
than "deadly poison." It was he
who called It the "caDstone" of
the whole costly Hanford operation.
Shugg and other commission
officials have defended the in
creased cost. They say that (1)
many Improvements have been
made in tne original project for
which there was no previous
blueprint and (2) there have
been difficulties which were not
anticipated.
Another aspect of Hlckenloop
er's ease against the commission
its loyalty review program
will be aired behind closed doors
at some later date.
None of the committee mem
bers, McMahon said, favors a full
open hearing on Hlckenlooper's
contention mat Key aec em

secret material despite "deroga-

refused to eat and wouldn't talk
to him when he tried to "reason
with her." The father said he used
