Secretary Krug Opposes Idea Of Naming CVA Directors By Popular Regional Vote WASHINGTON, July 15. UP) Secretary of the Interior Krug said yesterday he is opposed to letting Columbia River Valley voters select the directors who would administer a proposed Co lumbia Valley Administration. In reply to a question by Rep. McDonough (R-Calif ), Krug tofd the House Public Works Com mittee: "It is of paramount importance that the President and Congress retain control of a program re quiring such large federal ex- Krug said he believes three directors would be enough and "the. three best qualified men in the country" should be chosen without regard to ..where they live. The bill to set up a CVA would require two of the directors to be residents of the area. Under cross examination on his testimony supporting a CVA, Krug told the committee: 1. He opposes sale of public power to private utility com panies at any federal dam be cause it could give a private util ity company a monopoly over power distribution. 2. He does not want the pro posed CVA to have power of condemnation of private power companies. 3. He does not favor retail sale of power by the government. 4. Municipalities and cooper atives who distribute public pow er can now build transmission lines to the government dams and the government should con' struct the backbone transmission systems. 5. The Hoover Commission recommendation for a Depart ment of Public Works to con solidate the work of the Army engineers and Reclamation Bu- reau would be an improvement over the present river basin de velopment system Dut snouia not De used in the Pacific worth west in place of a CVA. 6. The CVA should report dl rectly to the President until such time as creation ot otner region' al river agencies makes it an impossible burden for the Presi dent to handle. Then, he said, a cabinet officer may have to be named to handle river authori ties. 7. He wants to "keep politics out of the CVA" and "wouldn't care if all the directors are Re publicans. Monroe Doctrine Extension In Lieu Of Atlantic treaty Urged By Two GOP Senators . WASHINGTON, July 15. (P) Republican Senators Taft of Ohio and Flanders of Vermont proposed yesterday extending the Monroe Doctrine to Western Europe as an alternative to the Worth Atlantic treaty. Their idea would be to leave I Bergh's , Appliance Service 1200 8. Stephens Servict On All Types of . Washers SALES the United ' States, as the sole judge of what steps to take in the event of an aggressive move against any Western European nation., A resolution calling upon Presi dent Truman to "extend the Mon roe Doctrine to Western Europe was offered by Flanders for him self and Taft during Senate debate- on the 12-nation North At lantic pact. '-'This is a unilateral action we can control," Flanders told re porters. Both Taft and Flanders have announced their opposition to the Atlantic Pact. It would bind each of -the 12 signers to consider an attack against any one of them as an attack on all. The Monroe Doctrine, as pro claimed by President Monroe in 1823, . was designed to protect Western Hemisphere nations from European designs.

Gotrocks Tries Out His Friends, Then Decides He Wants Quarters In The Zoo By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK WP) Once upon a time there was a wealthy man named J. Waddington Gotrocks. Money ran in his family but it never ran out. Waddington lived up to his armpits in four-leaf clovers. He kept a staff of thirty girls who did nothing all day long but clip his bond coupons. And every five years he had to retire them and hire a new they got musclebound. Must Have NURSE or NURSE'S AIDE by Sunday Phone 746-Y edtime story crew- -He Hve'd in a neighborhood so snooty that people baited their mousetraps with Rembrandt etch ing's rubbed with 100-year-old cheese. Once somebody asked Wad dington how much dough he real ly had. He hired the National Cash Register Company to build him a special machine to do it. The machine got up to ten dig itssomething like $1,000,000,000 and then it blew a gasket. "Well, anyway I'm not a pau per," concluded Waddington. Waddington -had an odd trait for a rich man. He liked to spend money " with both hands. But the faster he spent it the more it piled up. He was a real philanthropist. People got so they were shooting their parents so they could come to him and say they were or- of arms" to western Europe. "There is danger some of the governments might become Communist-controlled," he said. Flanders called extension " of the Monroe Doctrine to Western Europe a preferable alternative to the North Atlantic pact and arms for Europe. The Tart-Flanders resolution was introduced after the Demo cratic leaders tried to get an agreement for a Senate vote Sat urday on the pact. Senator Wat kins (R-Utah) blocked it. He said he would not agree to a vote be fore Wednesday. phans and enjoy his bounty. When the zoo asked him to fi nance a project to cross-breed an ostrich and a giraffe they mere ly wanted to see if the offspring would have feathers he import ed 30 acres of Africa to give them plenty of elbow room. Naturally a man like Wadding ton was surrounded by friends. One time he walked through his 999-room castle and counted 1, 998 friends who were staying with him. And they all had ordered breakfast in bed quail on toast, washed down with French cham pagne. "What a lucky man I am to be so well liked," he said. Came The Stark Truth But then a chorus girl, angry because he had given her an em erald four carats lighter than the Hope diamond, said: "Yeah, Waddington, but do they like you for yourself? May be it's your money they're aft er." Well, as I say, Waddington was a simple rich man. This thought had never occurred to him. Just for a joke he had four butlers blow a silver bugle call and rounded up all his pals for lunch In the main dining room. It was so big that the waitresses had to use roller skates. When they were all gathered around, Waddington said: "What do you know, fellows? My last check just bounced!" Panic broke out. In exactly 27 minutes every guest had pack ed his bag and left. Most of them went to the Grand Central Sta tion. A rumor had spread that an innocent Texas oil millionaire was arriving in town. Only two of his chums even bothered to tell Waddington good bye. They couldn't help it. They bumped Into him on the way out. Waddington walked through his castle, room after empty room. It was completely desert ed. He picked up a telephone and called the zoo. "I'm donating you another $10, 000,000," he said. "In return will you do me a small favor?" "Why certainly what is It Mr. Gotrocks?" replied the zoo di rector. "Fix me up a small room near the-Gorilla cage," said Wadding ton. "I feel a Utile lonely." Moral: Rich men are never satisfied with being admired for their penmanship. No fairy fale, this!

Cass Just Around the Corner From Douglas County Bank Referendum Vote On Pension Bill Is Assured ' SALEM, July '15. m Com pleted referendum petitions against the 19-19 Legislature's old age pension bill were filed in the State Department yesterday. This means that the bill will go on the November, 1950, gen eral election ballot, and that the bill's operation will be suspended until then. Sponsors said they had about 23,000 names, or about 8,009 more than were needed. The bill was attacked by Joe Dunne, Portland, and other lead ers of old age pension groups. It provides for $50 minimum monthly pensions If enough mon ey is on hand to pay them, and gives the state prior claims on the estates of pensioners whose children refused to contribute to their support. The old age pension leaders want a mandatory $50 minimum pension, and they object to t)ie prior claim provision. Today is the deadline for fil ing completed referendum petitions.

July 14.-UB The House armed service com mittee yesterday unanimously ap proved a sweeping revision of bookkeeping for the billions of dollars spent by the armed ser vices. The measure would create a comptroller in the secretary of de fense's office with full authority over the whole military budget. Under him would be comptrollers for each of the three services. Backers of the central account, ing plan contend it will permit substantial savings in military costs. Each service now does its own bookkeeping. The accounting1 practices of the three are not uniform. Committee members said House action on the measure will be asked immediately. It is one sec tion of the unification bill which the committee sidetracked last Tuesday. Communism Is Slavery Threat, Elks' Chief Says CLEVELAND, July 15. (IPt The new national leader of the Elks said yesterday, "Communist ambition for world conquest has placed every man, woman and child in the United States in jeopardy and threatens us all with ultimate slavery." Grand Exalted Ruler Emmett T. Anderson of Taeoma, Wash., called the United States "the greatest, if not the only, obstacle to the kremlln's scheme to sub Jugate the people of the world . . " He quoted William Z. Foster, chairman of the Communist party of the United States, to sup port ihs assertion that this coun try is in "Jeopardy." Anderson made his attack on Communism in his acceptance speech; he was elected head of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Tuesday at that organ Iza. tion's 85th national convention here. Next year's convention site will not be chosen for several weeks, but Washington, D. C, has bid for it. The great Salt Lake now cover 1,500 square miles, less than one tenth of its original area.
