U. of 0. Library Eugene, Ot-egcm Bsirael Wainrfis IRfiirtheir Hleo"no"5irDS Hells Canyon Dam Measure Argued Wednesday Night In Hearing Held In Salem y PAUL W. HARVEY J. SALEM Representative! of farm, labor and public power groups pleaded Wednesday night for a federal high dam in Hells Canyon as a means of providing more power to create much-needed employment in Oregon. But Idaho Power Co., which has a Federal Power Commission li. cense to build three low dams in the canyon on the Snake River, countered that these projects would produce almost as much ! pwwn mgn uim, ami uo u ; much more quickly, The hearing was before the Sen ate State and Federal Affairs Committee, which is considering a House-passed memorial asking Congress to appropriate funds to Receiver For Three Debt-Ridden Firms Named By Court A. J. Bishop, comptroller for Pa- debt-ridden lumber firms being sued by the Douglas County State Bank. Faced with debts of about $320, 000, Commercial Lumber Sales, Inc.: Winston Mills, Inc., and Jay Mark Lumber Co. filed a motion in circuit court asking for the ap- pointment of the receiver. Judge Carl E. Wimberly made the ap pointment. Asking for the appointment were Oscar Peterson, who identified himself as president of Winston Mills and a principal stockholder in that firm as well as Commer cial Lumber Sales and Jay-Mark, and W. H. Gerretson, who listed himself as president of the latter two firms and a principal stock holder in all three. The petitions seeking the receiv ership declared it was necessary "because of the condition of the lumber industry, unless the prop erties can be put to productive use so as to properly maintain and con serve the same, there is danger that the sums realized on foreclos ure sale will not be sufficient to pay off the mortgage indebtedness and all claims for insurance, in terest and taxes." The firm officials said they be lieve the mills can be put to pro ductive use and "th rents re ceived for the us of said plants would defray the tax and insur ance expenses and could be applied on part payment of the mortgage indebtedness." Both men cited the "changa in the lumber market" as the reason the firms have been unable to meet current operating expenses and make payments on loans and debts "in excess of $300,000." Representing the defendants in the case is the law firm of Geddes, Felker, Walton and Richmond. The bank's suit was filed by Donald A. Dole for Long, Neuner and Davis.

Elmer McClure, master of the Oregon State Grange, declared that the difference in power out put between the high dam and the low dams would mean 10,000 additional jobs. However, Robert F. Ball, Boise, assistant to the president of Idaho Power Co., argued that while the high dam would produce 785.000 iiwwsiu oi aepenaaoie power. compared with 767.000 bv the low. er dams, the high dam would cost 399 million dollars, and the low dams 133 millions. "So," Ball said, "for only- an extra 18.000 kilowatts 'you would spend an extra quarter of a billion dollars of public funds. In our three low dams, the public isn't asKea to contribute any money, ,nT,. j f,omPny would Py 10 j miUion dollars a year in taxes, in- eluding one million to the state of Oregon."

WASHINGTON 141 The United States is prepared to use atomic explosiona high in the air to blast down any attacking enemy bomb ers. The Defense Department dis closed isst night not only that atomic rockets have been devel oped for that Duroose. but that they have been made available to air defense forces in this country. The present rockets are design- ad for firing fror jet fighter-inter- ceptors. Nuclear weapons are to be provided later for ground firing from antiaircraft defense positions. The department sought to mini mize the possible danger from the rockets, both in storage near cit ies ana in use high in the air. Secretary of Defense Wilson said the weapons "provide by far we most etiecuve lorm of defense against air attack." He said they can "destroy aircraft within a considerable distance from the point of burst," meaning no direct hit or near miss is necessary. In ita unprecedented disclosure of a military secret, the govern ment sought to forestall anxiety uy saying wai: 1. "Elaborate precautions have uiuiB oi uie weapons to minimize the possibility of accident. 2. Tests made by the Atomic Energy Commission confirm that "the possibility of any nuclear ex plosion occurring either by impact i apparently somewing like a mis sile falling off a truck or accident ally dropping from a plane) or fir is virtually nonexistent. 3.

The Pentagon recalled that a high-altitude test of a nuclear ex plosion waa made in 1955 at the Nevada Proving Grounds and that no damage or injury resulted.

Dan Dimick's blast at Doug las County's dog catcher Wednes day brought about muttered pro tests in the courthouse and a meet ing of the dog control board with members of the county court to day. The senator, just prior to Senate passage of his bill to give dogs a five-day reprieve before they can be put to death, told his fel low solons the Douglas County dog catcher "is something of a sad ist." County employes took a "he had no right to say that" attitude when they learned about Dimick's charge. Bob Hall, county dog catcher, said. "I'd like to know where the aenator gets his infor mation. Hall went on to explain, "We have never destroyed a dog be longing to someone without that owner knowing about it. The only dogs killed immediately are those touna Killing sneep. "To the best of our knowledge. no other county picks up stray dogs upon request as we do here in Douglas County. We go all over the county to fill requests to pick up straya and destroy them. I only carry out orders given to me and do not set policy." The policy makers supervis ors of the County Dog Control Dis trict are meeting today in a session believed to be a result of Dimick's proposed state law, if not because of the statements he made before the Senate vote waa taken. Dimick's bill provides that dogs be impounded for five days before being executed and that owners would have to pay board bills for impounded dogs. Evaluation Group Receives Reports Subcommittee of the Roseburg School Evaluation Steering Com mittee made reports, at a meet ing Wednesday night, on faculty and achievement, Elliot Motschen bacher, information director for the group, said. Mrs. William Green, chairman of the subcommittee on achieve ment, reported that members have been assigned to determine vari ous achievements in senior and junior high schools and elementary scnoois. She said a conference with Ar thur C. Judd, assistant superin tendent of schools, revealed that each student is given periodical I Q. testa and achievement tests every year. It la hoped that when the final report is made it will de termine how students in the Rose burg school district compare with other districts in achievement, she said. Bruce Hamilton, chairman of the faculty subcommittee, reported that information requested, in a questionnaire prepared by the eval uation committee, will come pri marily from: interviews with ad ministrators, printed material from the state, questionnaires sent to administrators and teachera and salary schedule and compari son with other aslarles.

Profits Larqe PORTLAND I The state pub lic utilities commissioner, contin uing to clash with the Portland Traction Co., presented figures Wednesday intended to prove the firm had big profits. Commissioner Howard Morgan said the profits averaged more than 20 per cent annually from 1950 through 1956. He introduced the figures as a hearing ended on whether the company should restore snuttie bus service between west side Portland and its suburban trolley linea on the east side of Portland. The company cut off the ahuttle- bus service liec. 31. Morgan earlier ordered the service restored, nut a circuit court judge ruled that order pre mature, since hearings on tne matter had not ended. Morgan is not expected to again issue the order at once. Attorneys were given five days more to sub mit brieis. Morgan aaid the figures on prof its were computed by his staff from monthly reports oi tne com pany. The firm twice haa attempted to halt passenger service on the trolley runs, wnne retaining freight service.

The announcement was made to day by L. R. Smith, superintend ent of the Portland Division. He said the roundhouse was clos ed because of the "dieselization' of power on the SP. He said it was in no way peculiar to KoseDurg. The closure affects eight employ es, including a foreman, binitn said they were expected to be ab sorbed elsewhere in the system. Smith explained that increased efficiency of diesel has resulted in the re-arranging of runs, pooling of power and closure of roundhouses at other intermediate points throughout the West and South west. He said the locomotives are able to make much longer runs without service than steam engines. He continued that the improved performance of diesel locomotives makes it possible to service them in Eugene and Ashland for the Siskivou runs. The future or the building itseu is uncertain. William Peebles, as sistant freight and passenger agent, said further utilization of the property is being studied, but no definite decisions have been made.

Premier David Ben-Gurion an nounced that he would spell out his reply in an address to the Israeli Knesset (Parliament). The President declared Wed nesday night that the United Na tions naa no choice nut to put pressure on Israel to obtain her withdrawal from Gaza and the Gulf of Aqaba areas. The President's statement was regarded as a support for U. N. sanctions against Israel. Further, the President sent another per sonal message to Ben-Gurion urg ing Israel's withdrawal. The cabinet discussed these de velopments Thursday, and Ben- uurion held separate conferences with leading officials, including the Army chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan.

The boost means at least a penny-an-hour pay boost for about 1,400,000 workera in the auto, air craft and farm equipment indus tries. Their labor contracts have clausea gearing pay to the gov ernment index. I 1 he new Index, for mid-January , showed a rise of two-tenths of one f per cent from mid - December. This brought the Index to 118.2 per cent of the 1947-19 average. It thus now takes $11.82 to buy what could be purchased fur a $10 bill in the 1947-49 era. Ewan Clague, labor statistics commissioner, told newsmen in appraising the living cost situa tion: 'I'd say not much change com ing in February. There seem to be more factors nudging upward than downward. I think it's going to keep on creeping like this." The record January living cost level is 3.1 per cent higher than a year ago. This compares with new factory worker earning data put out Thursday showing a 4 per cent earnings rise in January over a year ago, giving the worker a 1 per cent break. , TJ , UOIiar-r atterSOn Mill To Continue The Dollar - Patterson Lumber Co. of Glendale which was sched uled to close r riday will continue to operate with a reduced crew, Douglas Dollar, president of the company, announced.
