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

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

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.
Flanders said he sees danger in

NEW BUSINESS RISES Occupying a portion of the familiar circus and carnival grounds on
Garden Valley road is this new building, which is being erected by O. B. Digby to house a drive
in food market. Digby plans to operate the business himself under the name of Digby's Food
Market. The building when completed will include a 20-foot extension on the rear, and 26 by
40 foot quarters above the store. Digby erected a drive-in market bearing his name north of
the city in 1937, but sold the business in 1944. (Picture by Paul Jenkins.)
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

The machine got up to ten dig

"Well, anyway I'm not a pau

Waddington -had an odd trait

the faster he spent it the more

He was a real philanthropist.

"There is danger some of the

Flanders called extension " of

When the zoo asked him to fi

ostrich and a giraffe they mere

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.

But then a chorus girl, angry
because he had given her an em

Hope diamond, said:
"Yeah, Waddington, but do
they like you for yourself? May
be it's your money they're aft

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

an innocent Texas oil millionaire
was arriving in town.
Only two of his chums even
bothered to tell Waddington good

Waddington walked through
his castle, room after empty

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.

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.

Revision Of Armed Services Bookkeeping OKd
WASHINGTON. 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.
