City Editor. Tha How the Detroit dam for flood the entire Willamette valley proieci iliary projects was revealed graphically to the Marion county resi dents who predominated in a 40-member tour of 13 dam sites over the week-end With Col. O. E. Walsh and his district army engineer staff ex- plaining the. proposed projects, the visitors could envisage much of the long-term project that in years to come may see as -many as 17 dams harnessing flood waters, producing power and improving drainage, irrigation, recreation and navigation. Cost to Be Repaid The overall impression left with county chairmen for the Willa mette basin commission and Sa lem Chamber of Commerce lead ers who made the 500-mile motor trip included these highlights: (1) The entire project perhaps not to be completed in the life time of those who made the trip, will cost more than $300,000,000 when and as appropriated by con gress. (2) Figured on annual costs ba sis, the project will show in an nual benefits (such as avoidance of flood loss) a dollar value 29 f -; -4"" Detroit Dam Major (3) Although Fern Ridge and cottmem Grove dams already are Knt anH rv.rna ain in Tjn county, is about to enter actual t troit dams. I The Meridian dam. considered bv Col. Walsh as key dam of the project will be the only dam across the Willamette river it self, located 20 miles above Springfield on the middle fork. Although not as high as the 379 foot Detroit dam, this 250-foot dam, spreading across the river some 3,100 feet, will create a 14 mile lake and at peak periods surpass tne Detroit dam in pow er production.

X.4 S.85 7G0GD 1 ajj Newsmen Gain Court Backing In Criticism WASHINGTON. May 19 -fJf) The supreme court said today that judges may not use contempt proceedings to protect themselves from criticism and overturned a Texas Judge's conviction against three newspapermen. "The law of contempt is not made for the protection of Judges who may be sensitive to the winds of public opinion," wrote Justice Douglas for the majority in the 6 to 3 ruling. "Judges art sup posed to be men of fortitude, able to thrive in a hardy climate." The decision upset three-day jail sentences imposed upon Con way C Craig, publisher. Bob Mc cracken, managing editor, and Tom Mulvany, reporter, of the Corpus Christi (Tex.) Caller. Joe D. Browning as county judge had found the newsmen guilty of contempt for articles and an editorial , about a case in his court. It was one in which the owner of a building was awarded possession from a lessee, a cafe operator who was away in the army. Douglas recounted that Brown ing instructed the jury to return a verdict for the owner, out it came back twice with an oppo site finding and finally followed the judge's orders with a. state ment that it acted under coercion. The supreme court ruled - that the news articles and editorial did not raise an "imminent threat to fair administration of Justice. And without that, it said. they could not be- legally con temptuous. Chief Justice Vinson and Jus tices Frankfurter and Jackson dissented. ' Douglas said "inaccuracies in reporting are commonplace," and certainly a reporter could not be laid by the heels for contempt because he missed the. essential point in a trial or failed to sum marize the issues to accord with the views of the judge."
