(API Indications mounted today that the proposed Columbia Valley Administration is a dead duck for the present session of Congress. Chairman Whittington (D.-Miss.) of the House Public Works Committee said he is certain no action can be taken at this ses sion on legislation to create a CVA to develop the Columbia Basin in the Pacific Northwest. Resumption of hearings on the legislation appeared unlikely before the second week in July, at the earliest. The Senate Public Works Committee announced an indefinite postponement. . Committee attaches said the committee prob ably won't be able to get back to he CVA unil afer Julv II. ' I feel eertain," Whittington said, "that members of both the Senate and House Committees would not want to vote on he bill until after many of them have visited the Columbia Basin area. Such a trip is impossible the trip can be made until after Congress recesses and when that will be is indefinite now.

Under his plan, we would let the wide world know we won't drop an A-bomb on ANYBODY until somebody has dropped one on us. No matter what turn the situation takes, we won't drop a bomb on anybody FIRST. We'll wait till somebody drops one on us and then ZOWIE! We'll turn our air fleets loose and blast the aggressor off the earth. IT sounds humanitarian and beau tiful. But when we- turn the chip over this is the bug we find under it: No enemy Is going to drop ONE bomb on us and then wait for us to retaliate with overwhelming 1 power. The No. 1 principle of suc cessful warfare is to destroy your enemy before he can destroy you.

That was the recommendation today of a fact-finding board for ending Hawaii's 60-day longshore strike. A spokesman for the 2,000 stevedores of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse men's Union didn't go for it. Op erators of the Islands' seven stevedoring firms haven't said whether they do or not. Neither is bound to accept the recommendations. The Board said it "must rely on public opinion to convince the parties, if they are not inclined to accept the rec ommendations, that it offers a basis for settlement which un der all the circumstances can be accepted by them as a service to the community." The ILWU wants a raise of 32 cents. The present scale is $1.40 an hour. That would shove the Jay up to where It used to be 0 cents under the Pacific Coast scale. Employers at first offered 12 cents. They withdrew the offer when Gov. Ingram M. Stainback set up the five-man board. What Board Advised Late yesterday the Board rec ommended: A 14 cents increase In the basic hourly wage, with eight cents to be retroactive to March 1.

Established 18731 Housing Lower Limit On Price Of Homes Sought Proposed 'Home Rule' Amendment Beaten When Speaker Breaks Tie Vote WASHINGTON, June 29 IO The Home, on a voice vote, trimmed its housing bill down to Senate size today. It cut the public housing program from 1,050,000 to 810,000 units and the yearly subsidy from $400, 000,000 to $308,000,000, as the Senate had done. Earlier, the House knocked out of the administration mea sure a provision for contin ued government operation of migratory farm worker hous ing. The section was voted out of the measure 198 to 99 despite the argument of one member that the program had helped solve the problem that formed the theme of "the grapes of wrath." WASHINGTON, June 29. UP) Republicans launched another major assault on President Tru man's big housing bill today but administration Democrats 'confi dently held to their forecast of victory by nightfall. The GOP proposal would pre vent the government from pro viding homes for low income families costing more than most people who house themselves can afford. Rep. Halleck (R-Ind) said the administration bill would allow costs running as high as $12,000 to $15,000 per dwelling unit in publicly-owned housing with sub sidized rents. He announced he would offer an amendment limit ing the average cost to $8,465 per unit. "Mr. Truman, in a letter to Speaker Raybum," Hallecksaid, "was very inuignant at what he said were the over-estimates of unit costs. Mr. Truman said the average cost would be $8,465 per dwelling unit. In consequence, I plan to offer an amendment re quiring that the average cost not exceed $8,465." Oouble Objective Cited He said he has a two-fold ob jective: 1. To make sure that building expenses are as economical as possible; and 2.

Ellsworth (R.-Ore.) says that passage ot nousing legisla tion and other "welfare state" proposals "may touch off a finan cial explosion that will blast free governments and personal free dom off the face of the earth." SDeakine to the House yester day during debate on the Housing bill, Ellsworth sam: "Bv passage of this housing bill, by miserable failure of this Congress, to date, to reduce the fantastically high cost of govern ment, by passing the other wel fare state spending legislation de manded by the President, we are lighting a fuse which may touch off a financial explosion that will blast free governments and per sonal freedom off the face of the earth." Ellsworth said that as I sit in the House day after day and see no slightest indication on the part of the majority in Congress, or on the part of the President to cease or at least slow up our march toward national bank ruptcy, I am appalled." He said whatever the cost of the housing bill "it means taxes, taxes, taxes for 40 years . or more." Ellsworth said that the peo ple of Europe aligned themselves with the United States and if the nation fails them "they must turn toward Commmunlsm."

Only minor chancres from the Neuner's Ruling Affects Rates Of Power Concerns SALEM, June 29 UP) Power companies have the right to re duce their rates to meet local competition, without having to get permission from the state public utilities commissioner. Attorney General Neuner gave that opinion today to Public Utilities Commissioner George H. Flagg. Flagg had asked whether the Pacific Power and Light Company could reduce its rates in The Dalles to meet com petition of a peoples utilitv dis trict. Neuner said the rate reduction could be made by the Company as long as the Company took the loss of revenue itself. In other words, a company can't reduce rates in one city and then in crease rates in other cities to make up for the loss. The rates proposed by the Com pany at The Dalles are about the same as those charged by the PUD. But they are considerably lower than those charged by the company In other cities. The Company told Flagg, how ever, that its proposed rates for The Dalles would tie high enough to make a profit In that area. . ... The decision Is of far-reaching Importance to power companies over the entire state, because it will enable them to cut rates to meet competition of all publicly owned power Bystems.

UP) The AFL asked today that the Senate kill the administration's labor bill, now amended to em brace the Taft-Hartley law's In junction powers. ml, resident wiuiam ureen wrote Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, that the action of the Senate in adding "national emergency" Injunction authority to that bill makes it "absolutely unacceptable."

Arthur Goldberg, CIO general counsel, told a reporter "We might as well face the fact that we have the Taft-Hartley act un til after the 1950 elections." Green said a meeting of AFL union representatives this morn ing unanimously approved a move bv Lucas to bring a speedy end to the Senate Labor debate. "We feel that amendments de signed to make the Taft bill more palatable would be useless and a waste of. time," Green wrote Lucas.

The Judge spoke for 25 min utes, repeatedly stressing that the defendant's intent was a major point for the Jury's consideration. Before the Judge began speak ing, Defense Attorney Archibald Palmer demanded that he de clare a mistrial. Palmer's move was based In part on the closing argument of Prosecutor John M.

"I deny the motion," Judge Reeves said when Palmer finish ed. As soon as the Jury filed out to begin deliberations, Palmer Jumped to his feet again to com plain about the Judge's instruc tions.
