Doyle, vice-president and general manager of The California Oregon Power Company, has earned for him the title of Oregon's outHtanding engineer for 1951. The award was made by the Professional Engi neers of Oregon. Special mention was made of his achieve ments in connection with Copco's hydroelectric power de velopment on the North Umpqua River. Unless a person has inspected the North Umpqua power project, it is difficult to envision the engineering problems involved. Had the same project been undertaken by the federal government it doubtless would have cost many mil lions more while producing little or no more power. Copco's Toketee project is so favorable to the style of the federal agencies we are surprised it wasn't taken over by the Army Engineers or Bureau of Reclamation. It would lend itself so perfectly to the type of mammoth structure the government likes that Boyle's simple, practical and minimum-expense development seems almost like sacrilege. The North Umpqua River in the Toketee area has cut a deep gorge through solid rock. Walls of the canyon are al most perpendicular, varying from 800 to 1200 feet from water level to the top of the canyon. Had the government taken over, we can be almost positive a dam around 1,000 feet in height would have been built, rather than the puny little diversion structures Boyle has engineered. Road Wat Key Achievement Building a road to provide access to the project site was one of Boyle's first and biggest achievements. A number of years ago the Southern Pacific Company was flirting with the idea of electrifying its railroad in Ore gon. It made an extensive survey of the hydroelectrie pos sibilities of the Toketee region. Its engineers could find no way to get access to the river at that point and gave it up as an impossible job. Boyle was tempted to give up a few times, but finally succeeded in hanging a zigzag road on the face of the prec ipice. The first time we went over it, while it was still under construction, we're frank to admit we had some ap prehension. It has now been widened and improved, how ever, until it may be negotiated with safety. A road also has been pushed along the river route to a junction with the North Umpqua road. But Boylo has always been proud and rightly so of that route dowh the face of the canyon wall. Under his direction, Toketee and Slido Creek nower plants have been placed in operation with generating capa city of 45,000 kw and 18,000 kw, respectively. This year will see completion of Soda Springs and Fish Creek plants generating 11,000 kw and 18,000 kw, respectively. Two plants on Clearwater River will start this year, one to gen erate 15,000 kw and the other. 2(i,000 kw. They are expected to be producing power in 1953. Two stations at Lemola Falls, each with capacity of 30,000 kw, are in the prelimin ary stage. Sawmill Wat Boyle's Pride The layman, looking at the North Umpqua power proj ect, is amazed by the engineering achievements. It seems beyond belief that the massive steel and concrete struc tures could have been erected in such a remote and difficult site. But they are there for all to see. Boyle, however, is not at all impressed by the work he has accomplished. It was a job of engineering the type of job he has been tackling since he graduated from Univer sity of California in 1910, starting his work the following year with. Copco's predecessor, the Siskiyou Electric Power and Light Company. When wo first visited the Toketee project in its early stages, Boyle's delight was in a little sawmill, packed in oil trucks, horseback ami human backs. With this mill he-was cutt-'ng the timbers and boards needed for his buildings, bridges and other struires. The sawmill has since been enlarged. From trees re moved for road right of way, reservoirs, etc, the mill has produced all of tho lumber the project could utilize and has accumulated a large supply for future needs. Tho fact that he was able to conserve and utilize the limber removed to make way for his project appeared to please Boyle more than his achievements in overcoming al most impossible difficulties in harnessing the water to sup ply electric power so critically needed by the area. One need only look at the Toketee project to measure the engineering ability and intensely human and lovable per sonality of John Boyle. Without his many other achieve ments in hydroelectric development in Southern Oregon and Northern California, the North Umpqua project is enough to merit the recognition he has received from his profes sional associates. We add our own congratulations to the many he has already received. He certainly has earned the honor. iiii Il-'iiv it v In The Day's News By FRANK JINKINS THURSDAY, trtv&6:J07&VM by the little red Npws-Revlew iox clear so I can put the paper in without getting out of the car. I suppose the few who leave a cur in the way just don't think or else it is a visitor's car. "A few make It necessary for me to call back several times to collect but for the most part my patrons are very considerate; and I do my best to give them depend able and early service." My gracious, motor carriers and mail carriers must use plenty of gasoline and tires! Local News Fulton Lewis Jr. urn, 7t.-'.rrn;.- sw mrm mm 09?!? (Continued from Pag 1) ground force l already tied down in Korea (we won't dare to move one division already tied down in far northern Japan. Suppose the commies strike in Indochina? That will probably tie down MORE of our forces. Sup pose they should then strike in Malaya? That will tie down STILL MORE of our strength. Already we have large forces tied down in Western Europe. If I were Stalin, it would tickle me almost pink if I could get the armed forces of the United States scattered so widely over all the world that they wouldn't be strong enough ANYWHERE to meet an attack in force. Then After you've made this pattern Half close your eyes and take an appraising look at it. Here Is what you will see: Our strength will be scattered around the whole perimeter of circle that covers half the earth. STALIN'S STRENGTH WILL 15 E CONCENTRATED AT THE AXIS OF THE CIRCLE. He will be able to strike from the center toward any point on the rim. We will have to RUN AROUND THE RIM. TO MEET I him. It will be the old military story of short inner lines versus long outer lines. We got a taste of . that situation in World War I and again m World War II in boll of which' Germany was on the in-1 side looking out and we weae on the outside looking in. To be sure, we licked Germany both times, but because of her favorable 'n-j ner lines position it took longer j and cost more. , Stalin already has this favored inner lines position. He is man euvering, I'd say, to get us scat-, tered all around the outer lines. Th.r. !. SflMITTHTNr: NEW in war. It came into the world on ' Hiroshima Day. It is the atom bomb. The atom bomb, plus the long-range bomber to carry It, I changes a lot ol tne old patterns. O-jr ace in the hole is to move in FROM ALL AROUND . THE ' RIM with big bombers and de stroy Stalin in the middle with atom bombs. That is OUR SIDE ot tne mil itary story. Ponder this thought: The decision to move in on Rus sia (the spider in the center of the web) will probably be the grav est decision ever taken since the world began. We mustn't move too soon. We mustn't move too late. We must move, if and when we move, AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME. That decision will be too serious to be made by the Pentagon alone. I It will be a political decision, as ' well as a military decision. If and j when It is made, It will be made 1 BY THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CLOSE ADVISERS. Between now and midnight of the first Tuesday after the fiast Monday of next November we will choose and elect our NEXT PRES-; IDENT. Our next President, it may be, will have to make the fateful decision as to when and how to use The Bomb. I I have just one word to add: As our next President, let's have the best man it is humanly possible to get and let's have back of him the best congress it is humanly , possible to get.

The firemen had accused board mem bers of bias in favor of the rail roads and had refused to partici pate in the board's hearings. Democrats were charged with "blundering and plundering" in Washington: of running an admin istration "which includes tbe larg est collection of men of low prin ciple in high places since July 4, 1776," and of employing more pub lic relations and press men on the public payroll than there aro men in the air force in Korea. Also, promises were made to "throw out those mismanaged missouri messmates now undermining our government." President Truman was described ! as a past master of political tech niques who allows "thieving tax collectors, incluence peddlers and mink coalers" to fatten off Kie public till. Republicans were also Informed that the party alone cannot elect a president of the United States. Statistics reveal that if every reg istered Republican voted for the Republican candidate he would get only 31 per cent of the vote. Thus, it was pointed out, if a Republi can is to win, the independent and young voters must be persuaded that the G.O.P. is best for the nation. Demands were made fiat the Republicans include a gold plank in their party platform for the pur pose of anchoring the deflated American dollar and halting infla tion. , Another suggested plank Is a voluntary profit-sharing plan for labor and industry, with favorable tax rates for corporations taking part in profit-sharing plans with their workers. T.ie Administration's foreign po licy was described as semi-isolationist and defensive, with a con sequent loss of respect for the (.American flag and American in- lluence abroad. All of the prominent Republi cans present demanded that the G.O.P. statement of policy con tain a demand and a promise to rid the government in Washington of Communist influence, although Senator Henry Cabot Lodse Jr., who spoke on behalf of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, added "if Kiere are any (Communists) there." Other speakers displayed much less skepticism. On the issue of domination of the Republican party by politicians from the eastern seaboard section, national committeemen were re peatedly warned that voters would not support a campaign similar to the one In 19-18. The chief tar get was Governor Thomas E. Dew ey of New York, with supporters of Senator Rohert A. Taft openly and vigorously decrying Dewey's Infuence over foe Eisenhower campaign. Even Harold Stassen, an oper. candidate described in some G.O.P. quarters as a stalking horse for Eisenhower, admitted that the Republicans cannot survive if the party continues to be labeled the capitol representatives of big busi ness. which is concentrated in the Dewey baliwick. Stassen called for a return to principles that earned the G.O.P. the label of foe parly of the people, of labor and farmer and youth. This is in accord with Taft's views. which were pointed out repeatedly in San Francisco. His backers In sisted that the senator's re-election victory in Ohio in 1950 demon-1 strated the success of this broad appeal to the wters. In public mere was little talk of possible vice presidential candi dates for the G.O.P. privately, however, in the hotel suites re served for prominent politicans. the topic was talked over at leng Stassen and Warren led the list of likely possibilities, since neither one is conceded much of a chance for first place. The consensus was that neit'.ier Taft nor Eisenhower would object (o either one as a running mate. At least neither Warren nor Stassen made anybody mad at San Francisco, because the pressure on national commit teemen come from the Taft or Eisenhower headquarters. At the wind-up of the session it was generally agreed that Taft had t'.ie backing of about 90 per cent of the national committee men, but this did not mean that the Eisenhower forces - were not working on political leaders. And it was plain that the practical politicians who will direct the no mination in Chicago in July want to sec a wider cut of t5ie general's political coat before abandoning Taft or anyone else. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 9:15 P. M. Wheat Accord , Extension Aim Of United States WASHINGTON l-The Truman administration is campaigning for extension of an international wheat agreement on the ground that it helps thwart Communism in Eu rope. The agreement, put into effect more than two years ago, expires next year. Designed to stabilize world sup plies and prices of the bread grain, County Response To X-Ray Service "Fairly Good" Response to the county-wide tu berculosis chest X-ray program has been "very good" In some places and "a bit discouraging in others." Deputy Sheriff Ira Byrd, head of the program, said Sun day. But as a whole, he said, the program Is progressing "fairly good." Byrd was Interviewed by Bob Grant in KRNR'i "This Town Is Yours" series Sunday. So far the present X-ray pro gram had drawn more response than during previous surveys the officer said. The free X-ray service will con tinue in the county through Feb 16. Byrd explained that the X-ray method is "one of the best single methods of discovering tubercu losis." The disease is a conta- geous type and symptoms don't show up during ist early stages, he said. In all, the process of making tne x-ray takes about two min utes. Registratints are asked to re move coats and any metallic items such as jewelry. They then register and step up to the ma chine and in 20 seconds it's all over, the deputy . said. The X-rays are taken on small films. Larger X-rays are taken later of all whose films show an indication of disease or are questionable. After the second X-ray is taken and the results indicate disease, the subjects are advised on what to do, Byrd declared. Sponsoring the local drive are the following county organisations: Health Department, Medical So ciety. Tuberculosis and Health As sociation, Cancer Society, Health Department, Medical Society and Health Association. The X-rays, taken by mobile units operating throughout the county also can turn up signs of cancer and heart conditions, Byrd said. it uses a system of export and I ernment mak up the difference import quotas and maximum and m ,he form of sub5idj t0 export. minimum prices. Forty-two importing and four ex porting countries participate. The U S. is the largest exporter. Because wheat prices in this country have been above world market prices set by the pact, it has cost the U.S Treasury more than 400 million dollars in subsi dies to supply its share of the grain. Subsidies Are Costly The cost probably will exceed 600 million dollars by the time the four-year agreement expires in July. 1953 When U.S. prices are above pric es set by the agreement, the gov- port ers. At present, the subsidy averages about 65 cents a bushel, or about a fourth of the price of the gram. Plans for drafting an extension of the agreement will be made soon by an international council which administers the program. What Is Your Refrigerator Worth!
