The recently pending housing bill, which cleared its final legis late hurdle in the House with the adoption of. the conference report, extends housing loan provisions and authorizes some more funds for such loans. When it finally be comes law the bill will also carry a lection which we put in when the bill was being acted upon in the House. This section will enable cities or other local units to pur chase government temporary and semi-permanent housing. T h i amendment will, I believe, enable the City of Lebanon to make satis factory arrangements regarding the two federal projects which have been a worry to the Lebanon city administration. Good weather for Easter Sunday here in Washington brought out so many automobiles that traffic down Connecticut avenue and in the vi cinity of the Tidal basin, where the famous cherry blossoms are in bloom, was almost completely tied up for hours.

Ap parently this has been grabbed as ideal for a hot campaign issue by the left-wingers and socialist mind ed writers, commenators and politicians. The gas bill would seem to be ideal for their purpose. It involves a complicated problem which only a few experts really understand, so the truth about it can be distorted without much fear of refutation. Therefore, the propagandists are having a field day in this darkness by attempting to frighten people with a hob-goblin of their own making labeled: "Money grab bv the BIG INTERESTS." This bll was the subject of many weeks of hearings before our committee. 1 happen to know some of the fac's about it. Here are a few, if you are interested: (1) Long experience under the existing law pretty clearly indi cates what may be expected in the future. There is no honest reason to believe the passage of the recent bill will cause an increase of gas prices to the consumer. (2) The bill just passed means that the Gas Act of 1938 will continue to be ad ministered as it has been for near ly 12 years. (3) The recent bill does nothing new but merely clari fies the 1938 statute after its mean ing became questionable as the re- f CONOMICAL DELICIOUS HEALTHFUL NOURISHING Cosy fe pregMire " .......-- -' t Release of more than 50,000 trout was started eerly in March and will continue through June.

Those who hope to see most of the recommendations of the Hoover commission made into law, and I am one who does, must watch out for administration tricks. For ex ample, the Truman reorganization plan number 12, submitted as one of 21 such plans supposedly carry ing out the Hoover commission suggestion, would abolish the in dependent general counsel of the National Labor Relations board. This would make NI.KB prosecutor, judge and jury, just as in the bad old days. There is nothing in the Hoover commission report recom mending such a change. Hors Mtat Went Into Wieners, Witness Says PORTLAND, April 20 -.f Horse meat didn't go only into horseburgers here. Some of it went into wieners, a witness testified in circuit court here. In fact most of the horse meat bought for the Holgate Farms mar ket went into wieners, said Darrell Craig, a former employee at the market. He testified- that he bought the meat on orders from owner Tal- madge F. Staley, and listed the purchases as "red hens." Slaley is charged with selling horse meat, disguised as hambur ger, to a tavern operator here. Leopards sometimes serve a good purpose by keeping down ani mals that would destroy crops.

Flies Saved By Wrong DDT Spraying, Opinion CORVALLIS (TV-It may not be just the flies' hardiness that keeps them safe from DDT spray; it may be the way you are spraying. , That was what A. W.

He said that while house flies have built up some resistance to DDT. often a failure ia because the residual spray hasn't been ap plied properly. CHRISTIAN SPIRIT PORTLAND, JP) Christian churches get along belter with each other these days. That was the report from Dr. W. H.

Highway Aid To Oregon For 'Post Roads' Only; Ultimate Needs Unforeseen By Rlph Watson Public Relations Consultant, Oregon Highway Department On November 2J, 1922, Oregon's highway system so far as federal aid if concerned was "jelled" when the federal bureau of roads and the highway commission reached "a meeting of the minds" regarding the designated highways, and the mileage, for the construction of which the government would allocate its funds. This agreement mad no material change in the main or trunk line highways which had been set up by the commission, but it established a definite basis for joint endeavor which has not since been changed except by an increase in the percentage of federal funds allowed. The first federal aid law limited I federal funds to "post roads" or roads over which the mail was to be carried. Later this was changed to "such projects as will expedite the completion of an adequate and connected system of highways, in terstate in character." It required further that before federal aid would be given the state must set up a system of highways not to exceed T percent of the total high way mileage in the state and that federal money should be spent within the mileage limits of that 1 percent. Those provisions have been modified by an amendment increasing the percentage by one point whenever the designated roads were 90 percent completed The state in 1922 had 41 ,825.7 miles of public roads, which en titled it to a federal system of not to exceed 2,927.8 miles. The re mainder of the road mileage was left to state, county and city fi nancing and it is upon this crys talized program that the commis sions have been laboring since 1922. Ultimate Needs Unforeseen Oregon's highways in the begin ning were 18 feet in width, as com pared to IS feet in California. On that standard the close of 1922 saw the state with 837.7 miles of paved highways: 1,197 3 surfaced with macadam or gravel; 1940.2 still unimproved. In other words, "more than 50, percent of the system as then contemplated had been com pleted with practically all of the more important and most expensive portions entirely completed." That was the optimistic view of the commission on November 30, 1922, when its biennial report states: "Except for the construc tion of one single mile of pavement (through Rainier) the Columbia riv er highway is, at the end of 1922, a completed highway." "The com pleted cost exclusive of those sec tions within cities and towns will segregate approximately $11 mil lion." "The Pacific highway, J45 milts in length, stsnds practically completed: 327 miles paved, the remaining 18 miles improved to a very excellent all-season road." The Roosevelt highway had been "extensively improved" but not yet "opened over its entire length." Its total cost when completed was estimated at $10 million, covering it entire 409 miles. TV at was the way they felt about the Highway lob wnen tne commis sion balanced its books ss of No vember 30, 1922. From the begin ning of the highway endeavor in 1913 up to this later date, the com mission had expended $56,809,107 in highway construction and its con tingent expenses. Of this total, state funds, from bonds and other rev enue sources, represented $43,963, 030; county cooperative funds, $8, 202,166; federal funds, $4,546,530. and railroad funds $97,381.

Up to then the commission had been wheeling along on lt-foot high ways and believed they could sea the sunset of their endeavors with their job more than half done. They did not foresee how fast, or. how far, the economic world was going to travel on rubber; envision the fleets of 72,000-pound trucks the millions of motorists, the high speed end the superhighways. They thought they almost were ready to hang up their tools. In reality they had just outlined the backbone and a few of the ribs of their final handiwork. Western Trip Of Truman Scored By GOP Leader CHICAGO. (. President Truman's planned western trio next month, says a Republican leader, will be mad at the tax payers' expense "in a desperate attempt to save the socialistic Fair Deal.'1 Guy Gabrielson, chairman of the Republican National committee, said that the presidential special will be a "gravy "rain" with new promises to distract attention from untitled 1B48 pledges. "Mr. Truman realizes that unless he can continue to hoodwink the American people the whole social istic Fair Deal will blow up in his face," Gabrielson told the Western Railway club. "The President fully realizes what he is up against. The reports from the hinterlands tell of a na tionwide resentment against the Truman administration." The GOP chairman said that even the election of a Republican presi dent in 1952 could scarcely undo tne -damage" u the Democrats gain in the fall elections. He urged election of a Republic can congress, which, he said. would insure a reduction in taxes all along the line." a non-Dartisan foreign policy and a reasonable farm program. Gabrielson, who earlier had met with local party leaders, said Mr. Truman, on his trip to the coast, will ''completely ignore the sorry record he has made and will go on the offensive.".
