Truman Ends Vacation In Europe On Thursday SOUTHAMPTON. England 11 Harry S. Truman ended his Euro pean vacation Thursday ana saia the ncoole of Western Europe are definitely friendly to the United States. The former American president told reporters aboard the liner United States that he had found the people of Western Europe "generally happy, and their coun tries are prosperous." A British reporter suggested that the good economic conditions Tru man had seen were due to the Marshall Plan which he sponsored. "Let's get this straight," Tru man replied.

Hult, it was charged that hot fumes from a vehicle's motor were forced into airless boxes to kill the dogs. Dogs are killed with carbon monoxide. The two board members, Darley Ware of Roseburg and Harold Nichols of Brockway, denied meth ods used to gas the dogs were in humane. The third member of the board, Chester Rydell of Drain, was not present at the meeting. Judge Carl C. Hill of the county court said he had received sev eral complaints, but he said the court had no jurisdiction over the board except to appoint its mem bers.

The examiner favored non federal dams in the river on grounds it would be "useless' to recommend a federal project be cause here was no indication Con gress would authorize it. "What the examiner did was to disqualify the high dam. . . on tha basis of a purely political i guess as to what Congress was .likely to do," the report said. a Ttia Mimmiidn. ie.nail II- cense in spite of the examiner's finding that the federal dam would be best adapted to a comprehen sive development plan for the Columbia River Basin. This de cision "clearing Infringes on the jurisdiction of Congress" which under the federal power law has power to authorize dams for the benefit of the public. The federal dam, estimated to cost 308 million dollars, would add more than a million kilowatts of generating capacity to the federal low-cost power system in the nonnwesi ana piovme iiuuu cuii trol, navigation, recreation and other important benefits. The minority report was signed bv Republican Sens. Watkins of Utah. Millikin of Colorado, Dwor- hak of Idaho, Barrett of Wyom- ine and Go dwater of Arizona. Their reoort said Idaho Power's three dams, estimated to cost 133 million dollars, were licensed by FPC after "the most extensive proceeding in the commlsion's en tire history." It also said tn part: 1. The FPC found the three-dam plan best adapted to a comprehens ive river development plan. 2. One Issue before congress " is whether there is to be any place in the development of our hydro electric resources for assistance from nonfederal sources when that assistance can be rendered entire ly consistent with development in accordance with a coordinated comprehensive plan." 3. The Hells Canyon bill "would deny the nation the benefit of such assistance" and "overturn a na tional water policy developed over a period of decades and embodied for a quarter of a century in the federal power act." - 4. Congress has never nem mat comDrehensive development "re quires exclusive federal develop ment of our water resources. The minority questioned wheth er state water rights would be ful ly protected by construction of the proposed 4 - million -acre - foot federal reservoir. They said the governors of Ida ho, Oregon and Washington. . . "speaking for their states, arc un alterably opposed" to the Hells Canyon bill. Congress should not "override" the wishes of the three states, the minority said.

Steve Ferche Gets Contrcct To Build Courthouse Garage Steve Ferche of Roseburg Wed nesday was awarded a contract for construction of garages and a parking lot in the rear of the Douglas County Courthouse. The winning bid was $42,935, with $12 a yard for any extra rock excavation and $45 per yard for any extra concrete above that called for in the specifications. Ferche will have 90 days to com plete the job. Other bidders were William Pemberton, $44,900 and Todd Building Co. $48,586. More bids will be received Fri day for landscaping of the front lawn of the courthouse. The work to be done will give completely new face to the land scape of the courthouse. The contract awarded to Ferche will change the appearance of the entire rear landscape. Work will include construction of a garage facility to house two bookmo biles for the county library and seven cars. The garage will open onto Southeast Court Avenue. The top of the garage and the entire area to the driveway paral leling the rear of the courthouse will become a parking lot which should go far toward alleviating the 'parking problem in the courthouse area. : Room for 31 parking stalls on this upper park ing level are scheduled. In addi tion several more stalls will be arranged against the rear of the courthouse.

He said, of course, that it was impossible to outguess the weath er, but today the weather was sunshiny and clear and was good for fishing except for some wind. He said the fishing has continued "exceptionally good" for the last week. Bearing him out were six Rose burg residents who went fishing at the harbor Tuesday. The six caught 12 Chinook averaging from 20 to 25 pounds. It took them four hours from departure to arrival back at the dock. The six were: Cliff Aten and son, Jimmy, Ken Ellison and his wife. Velda: "Mac" McAlex- ander and Grant Phillips. Phillips said the water was calm and the fishing was "very good." The six went out on Luther Ellison's trail er "Rose," operated by Capt.

They may also receive first-hand reports of con ditions by calling him at Salmon Harbor, 17-R-15. am C SEATTLE H FQRTtAND 1 L SACRAMENTO L StRANCISCQ 1 LOS ANGELeT " LANJ)lEGO "3 Seattle.
