Status Of Development
Districts Is Questioned
(Continued from page One)
will have to be disposed of be
fore the district can be abolish
ed, he said.
The district wa created origi
nally to promote development of
the North Umpqua area. That
function has now been taken over
almost entirely by the State of
Oregon Highway department and
Bureau of Public roads.
Most of the district funds, ob
tained from a three-mill tax
levy against the district, have
been used for the purchase of
rights-of-way, which the county
could not otherwise obtain.
During the days of the CCC
there waa no money provided to
purchase such items as powder
nor for hiring of powdcrmen
and supervisors for road con
struction work between Cope
land creek and Big Camas. The
commission was able to purchase
the material and employ needed
supervisors.
Highway Work Don
Considerable work has been
done by the state and federal
government recently on the North
Umpqua highway. Two contracts
for major improvements were
let last summer extending be
yond the forest service boundary.
Forest roads now extend through
to Diamond lake, and plans are
to push an Improved highway to
the lake, a distance of more than
100 miles.
Trustees of the district board
are H. O. Pargeter, chairman,
Wimberly, secretary, V. V.
Harpham, J, R. Wharton, Earl
Wiley, C. V. Stanton and M. C,
Bowker.
The original trustees Included
A. C. Marsters, chairman, Wim
berly, secretary, Napoleon Rice,
F. B. Lane, R. T, Blakeley, J.
W. Humphreys, and C. A. Lock-wood.

Right To Probe
AEC Challenged
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-fP
Rep. Van Zandt (R-Pa) -today
challenged the legal right of the
House Un-American Activities
committee to Investigate anything
relating to atomic energy.
The committee has been look

The Pennsylvanlan told report
ers he Intends to ask Speaker Ray
burn and Vice-President Barkley,
who is president of the Senate,
for an Interpretation of the act

tivities committee would be strip
ped of authority to investigate
anything even remotely connected
with atomic energy.
Van Zandt made public a letter
from William L Borden, execu
tive director of the joint commit
tee, which said in part:
"The iolnt committee Itself
clearly possesses jurisdiction to
looK into sucn topics as illegal

fied atomic energy documents.
There also Is an Implication
that the joint committee's Juris

a request by Van Zandt, a mem

He noted, however, that the
military aid defense plan Is but a

Polio Research
Need Reported
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-WP)
The search for better ways of
treating polio has proved fruitless
so far.
This was reported to a House
Appropriations subcommittee by
Dr. Justin M. Andrews, a commu
nicable disease expert of the Pub
lic Health service. His testimony
was released for publication today.
"I know of no advance in the
treatment of poliomyelitis," Dr.
Andrews testified.
"The diagnosis of the disease
has improved in the apprehen
sion of mild cases, inapparcnt
cases, or asymptomatic cases.
"We feel that the key to further
knowledge lies In a more thor
ough Investigation of those so
called minor illnesses, associated
with paralytic polio, and we are
attacking the phase In our epi
demiological studies."
Eep. Hedrlck (D-W Va), him
self a doctor, asked: "In other
words, we are not getting along
very fast on the subject of polio
mvelltls, are we?"
''We are not making as much

Down Payment
Raise In U. S.
Housing Eyed
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. (PI
Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) to
day proposed requiring a stlffer
down payment ior nnusing unaer
the administration's new program
to provide dwellings for "moder
ate Income" groups.
The program proposed by Presi
dent Truman would allow cr
ooertives or non-profit corpora
tions to quality ior long term, low
interest loans by paying down as
little as 21 per cent of the total
cost on a project.
"I want to increase that to at
least five per cent of the proj
ect's cost," Sparkman told a re
porter today.
These cash payments would go
into capital stock of a National
Mortgage corporation for housing
cooperatives. Eventually the pay
ments would replace $100 million
of treasury cash advanced to start
the new program.
The original bill required that
cooperatives eventually buy cap
ital stock equal to 1 per cent of
their loans.
"I think that should be In
creased to 10 per cent," Sparkman
added. "The persons getting the
homes would then have a larger
Investment In them."
Sparkman Is , chairman of a
Senate banking subcommittee
which has completed public hear
ings on the program aimed at pro
viding $2 billion or more of government-guaranteed
loans in the
next two years for building 250,
000 housing units.

of the recovered gems today. They
are seeking to determine their
value and to discover what pieces
are still missing.

Bill Hart Proud
Of Son, Man Says
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (JP)
Bill Hart Sr. was "mighty proud
of his son," an old friend of the
family testified In the will battle
yesterday. .
"He once told me it was hit
great ambition to make some
thing out of him," said Al Jen
nings, 86-year-old westerner.
"I asked, 'You're going to
make him an actor?' but BUI
said no. He said, 'Al, I'm going
to make a gentleman out of
him."'
Jennings, a reformed Oklaho
ma train robber and picturesque
filmland character, said that he
first met the elder Hart in 1896
when he helped the latter out of
some quicksand in Sooner terri-
tory.
In later years, Jennings said
Hart complained of the domina
tion of his sister, saying:
"Mary's on my back all the time;
I can't do what I want to."
Hart Jr., trying to break the
will that disinherits him, con
tends his father was unduly in
fluenced by Mary Hart, who died
three years before the veteran
actor. The latter died in 1946 at
the age of 83, leaving the bulk of
his $1,170,000 estate to Los An
geles county.
Coastal Towns
Get Water Again
COOS BAY, Jan. 28 UP)
There was water in the house
hold taps of Coos Bay and North

The main reservoir on Pony
creek was not affected, however
and engineers ran 10-inch pipe
around the break to bring water
to the two cities.
