BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON
By Harris Ellsworth, M. C.
The bill which is generally re
ferred to as the universal mili-
taiy training and selective serv-
ice bill has been finally ap
proved. The last action in the
long legislative procedure of
making a law’ is the approval of
the report of house and senate
Conferees.
A bill is often drastically
• mended by one house after it
lias been passed by the other.
A conference committee com-
posed ot ranking members from
the proper legislative commit-
tees of both house and senate
meets and adjusts the dififer-
nces between the two bodies.
'he final draft of nearly every
mportant piece of legislation is
'ritten in that way. Inasmuch as
vhe conference is limited to the
principles contained in either
the house bill or the senate bill
or both, it is usual practice for
both houses to accept a confer
ence report.

The final or conference draft
of the UMT-Draft bill is basically
the house bill rather than the
senate bill. The house version
of the most important features
of the bill was accepted by the
senate. Perhaps the twro most
controversial and most discussed
details of the two bills was the
draft age limit and the method
of starting UMT. The house 18^
age limit for selectees was ap
proved as was the house pro
cedure for establishing a com
mission to work out the details
of a UMT plan.
It should be noted that this
legislation does not actually set
up a system of UMT. It merely
provides for the establishment
of such a program. The congress
must act once more on the re
port of the UMT commisison
before any training program is
startl'd.
The people of Gold Beach and
lower Rogue river country re-
cently sent a group of very able
representatives back here to
Washington to appear before the
Board of army enginees in be
half of the proposed harbor de
velopment at Gold Beach. The
delegation was headed by Earl
Foster of Gold Beach and in-
cluded the able and distinguished
attorney John C. Kendall ot

for Coos County), and engineer

evidence of need and benefits.
For example, it was shown that
the government itself will lose1
more then the entire cost of the
project every ten years by not
harvesting the allowable cuts on
its timber acreage. That timber,
if not used, will simply rot back
into the soil. Little or no har
vesting of forest service timber
is being done now because of
lack of transportation. The board
will give a decision on the proj
ect at its July meeting.
It takes a long time to get
such a project to the construction
stage. In 1948 the first hearing
was held on this project. The
district (nqincer made a favor
able report in 1949 which was
approved by the division engi
neer ant sent to Washington for
board approval. The board made
a study and came up with the
statement that it was "uncon-
Gm°d.” Hence the hearing was
called. Next step will be auth
orization of the project by Con
gress. After that it will Ke elig

these steps take a lot of time,
but if the board of army engi
neers gives it approval I think

urday, It wasn’t the ribbon as
much as it was the co-operation
received from the Smith River
Indians, without whom the float
might have been meaningless.
Since the occasion was a cen
tennial, the local float depicted
an Indian settlement in the wild
country, this must hare been a
century ago. Much credit is al
so due to George Funk and Joe
Rose who helped Ross Putnam
in its creation.
It is remarkable what a little
co-operation can accomplish in
all things. Take for instance the
Chetco Wranglers who trucked
their horses to Port Orford, had
uniform shirts so that the parade
might be colorful as far as pos
sible.
Lacking a newspaper, and by
