    Columbia Basin
Split Program
Rapped By Cain
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. LW
The Senate public works com
mittee refused Thursday to au
thorize the $1,000,000,000 program
of army engineer! and the Recla
mation bureau lor the Columbia
river basin.
But it added $23,000,000 worth
of the projects in the coordinated
fuogram to an omnibus bill which
t approved. This bill would au
thorize flood control and naviga
tion projects estimated to cost
$1,564,28.630. This hill carried no
anpropriation. It merely would
make the projects eligible for ap
propriations. The committee's rejection of
the lull coordinated program was
described by Senator Cain (R
Wash) as "a sacrifice by the ad
ministration on the altar of a val
ley authority."
President Truman has recom
mended to Congress the creation
of a Columbia Valley administra
tion to develop that Pacific North
west basin.
"The Pacific Northwest has
been betraved." Cain asserted,
"and tie famed Reclamation bureau-army
engineering plan for
orderly development of the
Columbia has been thrown over
board by one of the most surrep
titious and underhanded political
maneuvers conducted by any ad
ministration in the recent history
of this nation's development pro
gram for our rivers."-
In all the committee added
$147,228,650 in new work authori
zations to the House-passed ver
sion of the bill.

Edward yannlng, a former em
ployee of the Chicago Atomic la
boratory, testified Wednesday
that an accused Russian spy had
"direct knowledge" of the war
time work In the laboratory.
Manning, who now lives In
Knoxville. Tenn., was before the

got his knowledge from Clarence
Hiskey, who worked in tha labo
ratory. Manning said he was dismiss

reasons and that Hiskey. now .1

nic institute, was dismissed, too.
It was Hiskey who introduced
Mm to Adams, Manning testi

committee twice and refused to
say whether he had any contacts

MONTHLY PAYMENTS ARRANGED.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7-4.P
West coast Longshoremen will
not handle canned pineapple from
a barge tied up at The Dalle.
Ore., even after the Hawaiian
dock strike is settled.
International Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen's union
spokesmen said Thursday the
only way the cargo could ever be
handled on the West coast was
for the Hawaiian Pineapple com
pany to send the barge back to
the Islands. There the cargo
would have to be transhipped by
CIO union labor to a Matson Nav
igation company freighter.
Thev said the tinned fruit load
ed bv non union stevedores in the
islands would be blacklisted until
the conditions were met even
though it would treble the cost of
the cargo.
Unloading of the barge at The
Dalles has been halted since pick
ets used force to stop non union
dock workers a week ago yester
day. Two AKL truck drivers were
beaten so .badly they required
hospital treatment
MOSCOW. Idaho. Oct. 7 Pv
Remember that "No flies in Ida
ho" campaign?
Now it seems the slogan should
have said: "No flies except those
that are Immune to DDT."
R. W. Portman, extension en
tomologist at the University of
Idaho, said that strains of house
flies that are naturally partially
Immune to DDT insecticide are
about the only flies left in the
state.
So Portman Is recommending
enother new insecticide. Lindane,
to kill off the flies that can't be
killed by DDT.
The immune flies didn't get
their immunity because DDT was
spraved, Portman added.
'The strain Is a natural selec
tion," he said. "We have always
had them, but they were small in
number compared with the Innu
merable flies that could he knock
ed out by the use of DDT."
But the strain flourished as the
flies susceptible to DDT died by
the millions.
Now the strains resistant to
Lindane, if any, will get their
chance to thrive. , ,
