2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ors. Wed., Jon. 26, 1955 Talent Project Exclusion Termed 'Betrayal', By Sen. Neuberger In Senate Talk WASHINGTON The admin istration's decision not to budget money for starting construction of the Talent Irrigation Project, Sen. ' Neuberger (D-Ore) said Wednes day, "constitutes a Betrayal ot ine DeoDle of Southern Oregon." In a speech prepared for the Senate, the newly elected senator declared: "The neople of Jackson County were sold a mirage for political purposes. The Talent Project, in the Rogue' River Basin, would develop stor age to water 8,640 acres of arid land and supplement the water supply ot anotner ,&o acres. Also included is a 16,000-kilowatt power plant: The project, estimated to cost 23 million, was authorized by Congress last .summer. - Neuberger, in his maiden speech in the Senate, said Republicans staged celebrations during last fall's political campaign "herald ing" the Talent Project. "Yet, having used this important project, which has the support of Orcgonians of all political persua sions, as a campaign device to drum up Republican voles," he de clared, "the administration has now evidently abandoned interest in the project as demonstrated by the fact that no funds have been included in the budget for construc tion of either irrigation works or the power plant." Neuberger said both he and Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) bave urged the Department of Interior to request project funds and "will spare no effort to try .o redeem tlie broken promises which the administration Labor .Legislation Gets Lawmakers Attention (Continued from Page Or.e) existing three-man stale Board of Conciliation if he wanted to. The 1953 anti - picketing law, which the Democrats want re pealed, also created the office of state labor examiner. He conducts elections to determine whether em ployes wish to join a union. This part also would be repealed by the Democrats. The Senate has a similar repeal bill, but it is lying quiet while the Slate Supreme Court is deciding whether it is unconstitutional. At Wednesday night's hearing the Senate Labor and Industries Committee will take Its first look at the unemployment compensa tion problem. It is probably the most complicated issue before the Legislature. , , Members of the Governor's Ad visory Committee will be on hand to explain their findings. The Department of Agriculture asked the Legislature to make sev eral Important changes In the dairy laws. - i One of these new bills would eliminate B. and C;grades"in fluid -milk, and make it illegal to arm water to milk.

He said the budget for the year beginning July 1 should contain "at least $350,000" to restore Med ford and Roguo River Va'ley canal systems and 2 Mi million to start engineering and construction of the project. . i Asserting that Oregon is one of the nation's fastest growing states and needs sound and steady de velopment of its resources, Neu berger declared: "Its people should not be sub jected to so-called political 'author izations' of projects, which then are cavalierly abandoned once the campaign at the polls is over."

Total money needed is $3,000 ac cording to-Green. He said this is the amount needed to meet budget requirements which include addi- tion of one new youth service. Green said the "Y" intends to hire a fulltime summer director for a summer recreation program. The summer program will bo climaxed by the summer .camp In August. It has been tentatively planned to hold the camp at Dia mond Lake again this year. Mean while, the "if" is negotiating to purchase a campsite on the north fork of the fcmitn Kiver tor suc ceeding years. It will not serve as a camp this year. Director Don Naden of the Rose burg "Y" said extension of serv ices for 1955 means more money which the "Y" hopes to raise from persons interested in the program, "Memberships mean a partner ship in helping subsidize young people," Naden vsaid. Polio Contest At Two Schools Getting Hotter The contest between '.wo Doug las County High Schools wages hot and heavy as the two teams work ing for the greatest amount for the polio fund come into the home stretch. Latest reports from Principals David Potter and Harry Jacoby indicate that the schools are run ning neck and neck on a per cap ita basis. From Douglas High School, the figures stand at $472, a sum of $1.08 per student collected. The ninth grade leads in the Douglas High race, with a total of $149.77 in donations. Roseburg High School reports a total of $1332.58, with the fresh men leading with $505 for the class. No per capita breakdown has been made as yet, Jacoby states, but will be figured at the end of the race at 4 p.m., Jan. 31. Students have a varied program for raising fund", ranging from baby sitting and car washing to steak dinners and fashion shows. Both groups are collecting bottles and clothes hangers, turning all collections over to the March of Dimes. 1 $1000 Investment Triples Return Last August the First Methodist Church ot Mitnerlin distributed si,- 000 in talent money to members of its congregation. Within a nine- month period, more than twice lhat amount, $2,800, was raised and turned back to the original fund. That amount went for building of a new parsonage. Now, the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Luis Bove, pastors, will hold open house Sunday from 2 to p.m. in the new parsonage to permit the public to view the result of their efforts. Closely following on the heels of the open house, will be another fund-raising project by men of the church. Members of the men's classes will hold "Ground Hog Day" Feb. 2, by preparing and serving a dinner to the public at the church. Their motlo for the day will be "Be A Hog For A Day." Money raised from the dinner sales will go into a fund for putting in a new lawn for the parsonage. The fare includes both individual and family style dinners, and both children and adults are invited. Wilson Holds Military Now At Proper Strength (Continued from Page One) gression short of general war." Wilson said he did not expect Russia "to take action during the next few years that would delib erately precipitate another world conflict." But Communist aims are unchanged, he said, and a "con flirt might arise through miscal culation on their part." "I cannot at this time, ' he add ed, "foresee any important reduc tion in the military establishment nor in the tolal annual military ex penditures of the Department of Defense below the present levels, nor do 1 see any need for any important increases short of war."

Corner of Rota and Lant Street Individual referring to 'that group of individ uals who actually make a full time career of it and have per fected the necessary technique to the nth degree. There are seventy eight lobby ists whose names appear on a -list of "LOBBYISTS UN-INCORPORATED" in Salem this session and there are several more part time "legislative - consultants" who aren't recorded in the book offate. Most of them hang out, or should I say "hang out their shingles" in the local hotels where they will be available for any tired or lone some legislator to visit. The interests represented are ralher strikingly at variance. For example there are two men rep resenting the Oregon Temperance League, and one each for the Ore gon Brewer's Institute, Licenced Beverage Ass'n and The Wine Council. One man chooses to call himself a representative for Christian Sci ence, while another espouses Dog Racing. Nearly twenty represent organized labor or its affiliates, but there is only one brave enough to wave the placard for Employers.- " , ' In keeping with the fact that the economy ' of the state is so largely dependent upon . our for ests is the fact that there are six representing our forest indus tries. And also pointing up the significance attached to the pow er problems in the Northwest is the presence of representatives of six power groups pupiic or pri vate. Transportation interests are keeping keen eyes on what goes on in saiem. Kauway conductors, Railroad Associations, Railroad Trainmen, Railroad Brotherhoods, United Air Lines, and the Oregon Bus Association, as well as two representatives of truckers asso ciations are on hand. Just scanning the list I find dis ciples for Hie cause of drinking, or not-drinking, for barbers, teach ers, longshoremen, doctors, farm ers, truckers, fishers, accountants, judges, loggers and druggists all evidently flourishing and of course a thousand little causes all of which are important to somebody, somewhere. That is, they are im portant enough for people to be willing to pay to have someone look out for their interests. I haven't seen anyone lobbying for unorganized mothers and it seems to me that field is being overlooked. But I have faith that another day some enterprising man. no doubt, will be doing a capable job of persuading legis lators of the merits of mother hood and proposing legislation to make it a more attractive occupa tion for the reluctant.

Wimberly in Douglas County Circuit Court Tuesday. Farella waived his right to a grand jury hearing and pleaded guilty to a district attorney's in formation read by Dept. Dlst. Atty. Don H. Sanders. Farella waa charged with lar ceny of personal property in con nection with theft of a car in Rose burg Dec. 31. He and his court - appointed at torney, Donald A. Dole, said Far ella was under the inlluencc - of liquor at the time, that he wanted to visit relatives over New Year's. When he found a car near the Southern Pacific depot, belonging to Virgil Hassett of Eugene with tbe keys in it, he stole the vehicle. Despite the fact it is no excise for stealing a car, Judge Wimberly criticized the "bad practice" of leaving keys in cars. Soon after the theft, Farella was arrested in Salem by state police. "See how quick you get pirked up? You didn't even get to Port land, did you?" the judge said. Dole pointed out this was Far ella's first "serious scrape with the law."

Amacher's Bill Would Outlaw Fishing Derbies SALEM on Fishing derbies In Oregon would be outlawed by a bill to be introduced by Reps. Robert L. Elfstrom, Salem, and John P. Amachcr, Winchester. Elfstrom said that fishing derbies encourage wasteful fishing prac tices, and that state fish and game officials don't like them. , "The big prlr.es offered by com munities, resorts or businesses for the biggest fish caught, or the largest amount caught, amount to commercialism, not sportsman ship," Elfstrom said. Elfstrom added that derbies are a big force in overtaxing the fish ing resources, STEARNS , Cr LITTLE MORTUARY' Mr. & Mrs. Vernon Little Managing Owners Our service is for all qnd meets every need.
