Control Measure
PORTLAND (UPD Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D.-Orc.) says
that he has had legislation draft
ed which would authorize more
than 51 million dollars for con
struction and modification of flood
control projects in the Willamette
river, basin, '
Neuberger said he Intends to
introduce the measure, including
recommendations of the Corps of
Engineers made in the controver
sial "308" report, early in the
86th Congress.
Included In the proposed legis
lation is construction of a new
storage reservoir at Cascadia on
the South Santiam river at a cost'
of $28,270,000. and at Gate Creek
costing $15,920,000.
The Fern Ridge reservoir in the
Long Tom river would be modi
fied to provide 15.000 acre-feet of
flood control storage at a cost of
$140,000.''
' The bill also includes authoriza
tion for construction ot a re-reeu-'
luting dam and' reservoir at'tho
Strube site on the south fork of
the McKenzie river, which would
cost $6,085,000. ...
Sen. Neuberger said the North
Pacific Division office of thjb
Corps of. Engineers lias described:
the projects as "economically1, jus
tified." "

By GAY PAULEY
- UPI Wofnsn't Editor
NEW YORK tUPD- The new
year promises an old look in fash'
ion the normal one.
Style forecasters predict the ma
jor silhouette for 1959 will show
off waistlines and legs and. kill off
any remnants of the trapeze and
chemise. You remember- them
the trapeze was one Paris design
er's swinging, non-clineiae innova
tion; the chemise had. cling only
tnrough the hipline, and inspired
many a cartoonist to, 6ketch the
Dow on the behind. '
Well, in the months' ahead, it's
"back to reality, . as one. manu-
factifrer sums up the style 'out
look; a "safe and sane spring,"
says another,
Modified versions of the high
waistline remain in- the new
clothes collections but the. ex
tremes of tho empire are wasting
awuy: and everyone In the na
tion's garment center' is talking of

production to become major, bene
ficiaries of a protectionist oil 'pol

import quotas to maintain Com
petitive cost structures in markets

The bank holds tliat the princi.
pal, beneficiaries of the protection

done the least tp build the qil mar
ket In the United States the Chide
producers.
"The' crude production, deficit
seanoard refiners," it adds, "thus
have a very strong moral case
and a very weak nolitical one. In
this' connection it can be Wed
that there are fewer registered
voters on (he combined boards of
directors of the seaboard refiners
than in any of the Texas counties
whose residents receive royalty
payments based on the domestic
price of crude oil," '- -' -
Courts and Company finds 'two
primary causes' for, the 'profit
squeeze on the domestic crude pro

"i. The proration system 'which
forces them to buy oil from crude
producers on balance although

forces them, to buy. domestij: oil
although they can import, it at a
lower cost. B6th of these causes
are essentially political; not eco

The firm holds that one Sikely
result is that the federal govern
