Country Style Sausage 25' Rib Steaks 53- T-Bone 29' Skinless Weiners 39- Leon Meaty Short Social Security Hearings Started WASHINGTON Wl The House Ways and Means Committee scheduled kickoff hearings today on President fcisenhower s re quest to increase social security benefits, taxes and coverage with most members predicting general approval. A scrap was indicated, however, over some points. Some doctors lawyers and farmers oppose the President's proposal that they be brought under the system. And Democrats planned to drive to pro vide monthly benefits for disabled workers under 65 a feature left out of the Eisenhower program. Eisenhower made his recommen. dations to Congress Jan. 14 for far-reaching changes in the social security system- The current hearings deal oniy with old age retirement and sur vivors' benefits. Another part of the President s program involv ing changes in direct federal wel. fare grants to states for the needy will come up later. U.S. Rejects Note Of Russia's Molotov (Continued from Page One) ganization if the Western Powers would (A) loin a Russian-sponsor ed European socurily plan from which Germany would be barred and (B) scrap plans for a Europe an Defense Community (EDC) in which German troops would be rearmed. Initial Western reaction showed some division, and officials said it was reasonable to assume there would be consultation with Britain and France on the formal replies. A few hours after Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov hand ed his proposals to Western am bassadors in a 10-page note, a French F'oreign Office spokesman said the note would require care ful study "as it represents a con siderable modification" ot propos als on the same subject which the Soviets had put forth at the Benin nig four contcrence in February. In Washington, meanwhile. Sec retary of State Dulles and his top advisers wound up a quick study of the Russian message with a statement categorically turning down tne boviet move. What Molotov proposed was that the United States should join a Sa nation European security treaty which he had first put forth at the Berlin meeting. He then sug gested that the United States and Red China should sit in mere ly as observers. Thus his sugges tion for American membership represented a change. In the new note he said accept ance of this plan for European se curity would lead the Soviet Union to consider joining NATO. This or ganization was formed for the pre cise purpose of unifying and build ing up the strength ot the west acainst the threat of Russian now- At the Berlin conference. Molo. tov had said frankly he was out to wreck Western plans for IvUU under which Western Germany would be armed in Hie interest of strengthening Western defenses. Dulles and other Western minis ters argued at Berlin that Molo tov's whole purpose was to wreck the Western defense system nd drive the United States out of Eu rope. Gen. Vandenberg Takes Turn For Worse, Report WASHINGTON t The Air Force announced Thursday that Gen. Iloyt S. Vandenberg, former chief of staff, "has taken a turn for the worse and is failing rap idly."

However, private physicians who attended him in his first illness said that at that time it was found he was suffering from cancer of the prostate gland and that sub sequently the malignancy spread to the hips, spine and other bones. 25.'- Steaks 63' Ribs 19 Phone 3-5434 Bonneville Administrator Sees Shortage Of Power Eventually For Northwest WASHINGTON Ul Despite im proving power conditions in the Northwest, Bonneville Power Ad ministration officials believe they will never be able to meet all the requirements of privately owned utility and industrial customers. In testimony made public Wednesday by the House Appro priations Committee, Bonnevile administrator William A. Penl said that under average water conditions this year BPA will be able to meet all requirements ut privately owned utilities. But interruptible industrial loads, he said, will have to depend "heavUy" on purchased steam generated energy unless better-than-average water conditions oc cur. "The situation' improves for the interruptible customers through 1958-59 but in no year will the ad ministration be able to meet all of the privately owned utility and the interruptible industrial require ments," he declared Pearl appeared before the com mittee in mid-February in support of Bonneville's request for S30.200, 000 in construction money and $6, liOO.OOO in operations and main tenance funds for the year begin ning July 1. " In parts of the hearing, discus sion turned to BPA rates. E. D. Ostrander, BPA comptroller, testi fied in answer to questions that "the rates are going up, the only question is how much and when." That statement was countered Wednesday by Undersecretary of tne interior Kaipn A. Tudor. "No one is in position to say definitely until completion of stud ies now under way whether they (Bl'A rales) are to be increased or remain the same," Tudor de clared. 'If any increase is nocessary," he said emphasizing the "is "we feel Certain now it will not exceed the five dollars (increase1 the previous administration pre dicted." Tudor said the department is working closely with the Federal Power Commission and thi Gen eral Accounting Office to see that all three agencies reach their de termination on Br A rates oy tne same methods. Law requires rates high enojgh to pay operating and maintenance cost and repay over a period of years the government's investment in the power facilities. "Until that study is completed, no one can tell what the Bonne ville rates will be," Tudor con tinued, "the previous administra tion predicted repeatedly that Bon neville rates would be increased from $17.50 to $22.50 (per kilowatt year). We have said that if there is an increase, it will not be great Garden Valley Man Attends Conferences By ERMA FIELDING Mr. and Mrs. Frank ' Blizard were In Salem last week to at tend a forestry conference- Blizard is in Medford this week attending a similar conference- To Junction City Mr. and Mrs. M.

Mo er than was predicted by our pre decessors. Pearl took up the task of ex plaining the BPA budget requests. Of the 30 million for construc tion, he said $24,321,000 would be used to complete transmission lines and substations already un der way. New starts to be begun with the remainder include a 230-kilovolt transmission line from Oregon City to Chemawa, Ore., and fa cilities to serve Lewis County and the Frenchman Hills area in Wash ington. Elaborating on the power out look in the Northwest, Bonneville officials said the region has not had a margin of safety in its operations for many years- H. F. Jones, acting power man ager, said that in January the fed. eral system hit a peak of 3,300,000 kilowatts production as compared with capabilities of about 3,311,000. This, however, was not inclusive of steam potential, he said, so there was no danger of possible curtailments such as occurred in previous years. Despite increased federal pro duction through the addition of McNary, Lookout Point and other projects, and increases brought about by nonfederal construction, Jones said, "there will still be a substantial shortage of power un der low-water conditions in any one of the next 10 years, as far as we can see." He said the shortage, "gets very substantial when you get to the 10th year. In terms ot prime pow er, even after the use of steam generation, it is considerably in excess of one million kilowatts." House Cuts Reclamation Costs By $59 Million (Continued from Page One) private enterprise or taeal inter ests can perform the function, or where delay will not jeopardize achievement of the ultimate ob jective."
