Eugene Streets Flooded (Continued from page one) according to Dr. A. Triolo, Lane county health officer. The U.S. army corps of engineers placed into operation its emer gency flood control plan at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday. Surface water was over curbs and in basements all over Eugene, particularly in the Amazon flats area and on the west side. According to Dr. Triolo, the water was receding slightly in the Amazon area, and evacuation of the Amazon flats housing project was probably not to be necessary. .. Rainfall i nthe Eugene area totaled 2.53 inches for the 24 hour period ending at 10.30 a.m. Tuesday. It is rainfall such as this that has caused the river to rise, at the rate of seven tenths of a foot per hour. The river was at 11.7 feet Tuesday at 6 p.m. ) An interesting sidelight was brought out with the com ment by Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitories, that for the second time in her 18 years here, the cooks at John Straub hall were unable to get home because of the water. They stayed at the hall overnight. Senator Wayne Morse (Continued from page one) baffled political observers were his favoring or removing the controls off meat and dairy products and his campaigning for some men in office who were considered politi cal deadwood. He is the only North west senator who has not commit ted himself to approval of a Co lumbia Valley authority. Recently the ex-law , dean has made the headlines with his stand on the Taft-Hartley bill and his guiding of veterans legislation. Morse disapproved of the Taft Hartley bill because he did not be lieve in omnibus legislation. The Oregon senator held that there should be separate bills for the separate phases of the labor prob lem. A majority of the labor com mittee backed Morse in opposing the omnibus labor law but congress acting in response to what some members termed a “pressing need,” passed the Taft-Hartley act. A Friend bf GI’s Morse was chairman of the sub committee on labor and public wel fare and as such was in charge of framing legislation on veterans af fairs. He lent vigorous support to efforts to raise subsistence allot ments to $75 for single men and $105 for married veterans plus $15 for each child. Morse was not in favor of legislation that would pro vide “full cost” for the veteran but he was concerned with action J.

The bill was sent to the house of rep resentatives but languished there in committee without coming to vote before congress adjourned. Morse has gone on record as saying that further assistance to veter ans is up to the house, that the sen ate had done its part.

That’s true. But already, much of the job is done! For months telephone men have been hard at work—in offices and in the field. One group has carefully studied business and population trends and has forecast the tele phone needs of the community for years to come. Another has determined the amount and types of equipment that will best meet these needs. Still others have found ways to make this new equipment a part of our world-wide communications network. At our Western Electric plants the tele phone equipment—the switchboards, frames and switching mechanisms, the cable, wire and relays—nas been scheduled and is al ready being manufactured. All this ard more before the ground was broken! The telephone business is a constantly ex panding business in which thousands of — college men are finding interesting and re- ^ warding careers.There’s a future in telephony. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
