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

that would lend "substantial aid.”
Despite a floor battle Moorse
was able to steer a bill that em
bodied his recommendations
through to senate approval. 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.

Next Door to the Side
More than
meets the eye
One look and you’d say that a great deal of
work lies ahead before this new telephone
central office is completed. 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.
