Safeguard Against Dami
For Salmon Demandtd
PORTLAND UP) Safeguard!
lor salmon runs muit precede
erection of additional big dams
on west coast rivers.
That was the demand ot the
Pacific Marine Fisheries commis
sion which is meeting here.
A resolution pointed -out that
the commission was not opposed
to dams, but wanted assurance
beforehand that salmon runs
would be protected. Particular
concern was expressed over
rower proposals for British Co
imbias Fraser river.
The commission also suggested
a survey by the three west coast
states to determine the number
of salmon caught fr sports fishermen.

Canada, Britain,
U. S. Outlining
Atomic Research
By JOHN M. HIQHTOWCR
WASHINGTON. UP) The
United States, Britain and Canada
have virtually completed the
broad outlines for a new partner
ship in the development of atomic
energy and atomic bombs. The
next move will be for the State
department to take up the pro
posals with congressional leaders.
The proposed plan which will
apparently come to nothing un
less Congress is prepared in some
way to authorize It reportedly
would provide for continued con
centration of atomic weapon
manufacture hi this country. It is
said to contemplate that British
and Canadian scientists would
participate in the work.
Discussion of the three powers'
roles moved to the foreground,
at least temporarily, with the lull
in the congressional atomic inves
tigation. That inquiry deals with
how the Russians were able to
get atomic materials from the
U. S. during the war. Congres
sional probers said over the week
end they have asked for wartime
records of the Chemical Warfare
service as a possible clue.
Under the projected American-British-
Canadian partnership in
the future, Britain would aban
don its plans for making A-bombs,
as in fact it appears to have done
already. Thus would end the
threat of a future British claim to
a larger share of the Belgian
Congo uranium the greater part
of which now comes to the
United States.
Responsible authorities say
there would be several advan
tages to this arrangement. Fl-st,
it would assure the western world
a maximum of output of atomic
bombs of the kind the United
States is able to make in 'he
shortest possible time. Second, it
would prevent dispersion of ef
fort as oetween this country and
Britain. Third, it would mean the
continued development of atomic
filants, including weapons factor
es, In places remote from any
possible European war area.
Britain and Canada, for their
part, would continue fully the
kind of experimental work in
basic atomic research which they
have been doing. They would nave
far greater access to so-called

House Will Quiz
Gen. Groves Again
WASHINGTON. UP) The
House un - American Activities
committee has decided definitely
to recall Lt. Gen. Leslie R.
Groves and former Major George
Racy Jordan for more question
ing on wartime atomic leaks to
the- Russians.
Rep. Harrison (D-Va), a com
mittee member, said that Chair
man Wood (D-Ga) advised the
committee counsel Frank Taven
ncr, by telephone that he wants
Groves and Jordan to come back
to the witness chair." Tavenner
said he Will ask them to be here
next Monday.
It was Jordan who testified last
week that the late Harry L. Hop
kins put on pressure to speed an
atomic shipment to Russia dur
ing the winter of 1943-44. Jordan
said that at least a man who said
he was Hopkins telephoned him
at the Great Falls, Montana, air
base where Jordan was stationed.
Friends of Hopkins have com
mented that Hopkins was ill and
inactive in government in the
first half of 1944.
Groves testified that neither
Hopkins nor former Vice-President
Henry Wallace tried to pres
sure him into supplying atomic
materials or secrets to the So
viets.
There were Indications that
some committee members want
to ask Groves more about some
of the things he has said in press
interviews since his testimony.
Another reason for recalling
Groves is the protests from Re
publican committee members
that they were not present when
he was heard last week.
Shasta Daylight Rams
Truck, Scattering Logs
EUGENE, Dec. 13 M) The
Shasta daylight smashed into a
logging truck on the tracks be
tween Harrisburg and Junction
City at 9:51 a.m. Monday and
the unidentified driver miracu
lously escaped injury. No one was
injured on the crack San Fran F
co-bound streamliner.
Engineer H. L. Mercier of Port
land pulled away from the scene
almost an hour after the acci
dent and the Shasta picked up its
schedule out of Eugene an hour
behind time.
Damage to the train is estima
ed by Southern Pacific officials
at $2,500 but the logging truck
is almost Intact. Seventy-five-foot
logs loaded on the truck were
splintered at the impact and scat
tered over the crossing. The train
was traveling 79 miles per hour
when the engine rammed the tail

School Vets On Gl Bill
Told Change Regulations
Veterans Administration has
explained what is meant by a
"change of course", In the light
of its recent regulations requir
ing veterans to obtain advise
ment and guidance if they plan
to change their GI bill courses
to new general fields of study.-
Under the regulations
Instruction I B to Public Law
266 a veteran may make a
change, without advisement and
guidance, so long as his new
course is in the same general
field as his original objective or
a normally related progressive
objective.
If he want3 to change to a dif
ferent general field, however, the
instruction requires that he un
dergo advisement and guidance
to determine his aptitude for and
need of the course to complete
his educational or Job objective.
Anchange of course, VA 'ex
plained, means a change of a
veteran's educational or vocat
ional objective. It does not mean
changes made within the course.
New Australian
Prime Minister
Is Sharp Debater
By Barbara Gormly
SYDNEY. iP) Robert Gor

bourne lawyer who will be Aus
tralia's next prime minister, is
a fervent believer In the free en
terprise system. He is nrobably
Australia's sharpest debater in
Parliament and on the stump.
For the tall, thickset, and grey

second term as leader of the
government. He was prime min

1941 the youngest empire prime
minister of that early war period.
Opposition Ldar
Since he went out of office he
has been almost continuously the
leader of the opposition. For a
time his closest liberal friends
despaired he ever would lead the
party to victory. They said: "Bob
Menzies is not clever enough to
hide his own cleverness." Ano
ther said Menzies had every good
quainy except as a vote-getter.
Saturday's election disprov
ed these fears.
Menzies wants a world !n which
ambition is encouraged, In which
there are rewards for the cour
ageous and the enterprising; in
which, as he puts it, "there is
no foolish doctrine of equality be
tween the active and the idle,
Intelligent and dull, frugal and
Improvident."
In a campaign speech he said:
"We must choose between the
ancient British idea that the gov
ernment is the servant of the
people and the shabbv. defeated
continental Idea that we are ser
vants oi tne government."

Pledge Support
Of Hoover Report
WASHINGTON UP) Co
operation by both business men
and labor has been pledged In a
campaign to push through con
gress the government reorgani
zation steps recommended last
spring by the Hoover commis
sion. The drive was launched at a
national reorganization confer
encea two-day meeting called
by the non-partisan, non-government
citizens committee for the
Hoover report.
The citizens committee was
formed last summer as a "lobby"
In behalf of the recommenda
tions for federal economy and ef
ficiency made by the commission
headed by former President Her
bert Hoover.
Walter J. Kohlcr Jr.. Wisconsin
manufacturer, said in an ad
dress prepared for the opening
session that "only the first skir
mishes have beei. won. Major
battles remain to be fought."
Letters to congressmen and
group resolutions were urged by
Oveta Culp Hobby, wartime com
mander of the Women's Army
corps and executive vice presi
dent of the Houston Post.
"The American people owe It
to their congressmen to tell them
of their interest, Mrs. Hobby
said.
Kohler, president of the Voll
rath Corp., Sheboygan, Wis., de
clared that businessmen have no
greater interest than labor In cut
ting government costs, despite the
tax burden on corporations.
"Businessmen are realistic
enough to know that corporations
do not pay taxes," he said.
"Only people pay taxes. All cor
porations do is to collect them."
That view was echoed by Stanley
Ruttenberg, education director of
CIO. Declaring CIO's support for
the basic aims of the Hoover pro
gram, he said:
"It Is the working man of
America who pays taxes m if

How America's first service station was born
One day back in 1907, a Stand
ard of California man stood
watching a line of impatient
motorists in goggles and linen
dusters waiting to buy live-gal
lon cans of gasoline at Standard's Seattle plant. He had an idea for
serving customers more efficiently, more conveniently.
The next day a thirty-gallon tank which had been a kitchen water
heater was installed opposite the main gate at the plant. To it were
attached a valve-controlled hose and a glass gauge... so gas could be
poured directly into the customers' cars.
That makeshift arrangement was the first service station in America.
Today there are more thn 10,000 Company and Independent Dealer
Stations selling Standard of California products. The services and con
veniences they offer. ..the improved products they sell. ..would prob
ably make them hard to recognize by the men who developed the first
station. For the people of Standard today, as then, continue to seek ways
to make better products and to serve better the people who use them.
