Wright C SUM Writer, Tb SUteamaa A young Keizej mother, who though she was suffering from an attack of appendicitis, has given birth to an unexpected child her third daughter. The three-months premature baby girl was bom Sunday, Fa ther's Day, at Bartell hospital in Dallas to Mrs. Russell Sullivan, 1135 Dietz ave. The Sullivans, already parents ef two charming blonde daugh ters, aged two and four years, So much agitation has been raised over a Columbia valley authority or administration that it was a pleasure to hear the prob lem of utilization of waters In the Columbia river basin discussed -without reference to CVAor any form of administration. That was done by Dr. R. R. Renne, presi dent of Montana State college, at the forum on northwest resources at Oregon State college Tuesday. Dr. Renne was well qualified to s discuss the subject because he served on the president's com mission for outlining water re sources policy. The Columbia river has a flow of 180 million acre feet, and with its tributarties drains an areas of 250,000,000 sq. mi. From Colum bia lakes to the ocean the fall is 2700ft. though some of its tribu taries have a greater drop. The Columbia basin, said Dr. Renne, has the ereatest economic poten tial of any of the basin regions. Presently its developed water power is 3,000,000 kilowatts or one-sixth of that in the nation. However its potential is 30,000,000 kw. or ten tunes the present gen erating capacity. A large area of land in the basin Is under Irriga tion or is being brought under irrigation, but physcal conditions limit the possibilities n tnis aevei opment. Dr. Renne summarized the re commendations of the president's commission on policy in dealing with water resources. The com mission agreed, that the- national area should be studied and handl ed by river basins, some 15 of them, though it did not undertake to delimit them. For treating these basins, and for the Columbia basin In particular a commission com' posed of representatives of fed eral agencies and of those named by governors of the states involv ed would be created to develop regional policy.' This should have an advisory board. (Continued on Editorial page 4.)

Increase Bid Claimed Last By Francis J. Kelly WASHINGTON. June 21-UP)-A democratic, leader, in the; house predicted today that the pending $7,200,000,000 tax increase, would be the last big one, but this failed to mollify republicans. They as sailed the bill as "disastrous" and 'socialistic." Chairman Doughton (d-NC) of the ways and means committee opened debate . on the record shattering measure, which', is set for a house vote late tomorrow. The bill is urgently needed to finance national defense. Dough ton said, but he made plain he be lieves it is about all the economy can stand, despite President Tru man's request for a total increase of $10,000,000,000 or more. Increase Doobtfnl "1 consider it unlikely," Dough ton said, "that we, shall be able to increase substantially the yield of the federal tax system beyond what is included in the present bilL $ MI say this in all frankness and sincerity, for I consider it i essen tial that we face up to the fact that any higher tax rates on either individuals or corporations or ex cises would be exceedingly bur densome and difficult to impose." He opposed deficit financing as likely to cause permanent injury to the government's credit, and said that left one alternative: To re-examine the scope of federal activities and to cut expenditures to the bone " i Reed Condemns Bill Rep. Reed of New York, the senior ways and means republi can, condemned the bill as an au- thorization for "the bureaucrats to turn the taxpayers' pockets inside out. If it is approved by; house and senate, he said, it will: fulfill the dream of "the socialist plan ners within the Truman adminis tration." . S Rep. Kean (r-NJ) called it a monstrosity,' Rep. Curtis (r- Neb) wa disastrous blow to our economy. Rep. Martin (r-Ia) an ill-balanced and far too drastic measure. ! Over a full year's operation, the measure calls for these increases: Individual income tax, $2,847, 000,000. Corporate income and excess profits tax, $2,855,000,000. ! Excise taxes. $1,252,000,000.

The driver, R. E. Puttit, Salem route 8, was not injured, according to Four Corners firemen who sa-'m' the hot blaze threatened a 50-gal- lon drum of gasoline on the truck. Firemen said the 1935 Interna tional truck was burned exten sively. Cause of the explosion was not determined. It happened at 3 pjn. ) I she phoned the Liberty-Salem Heights volunteer fire department from a neighbor's house, Pense and the daughter attempted to save some of their possessions, assisted by some. 15 volunteers, attracted to the scene by the light. The house was located just south of the wom an's clubhouse. The fire truck arrived at the scene a, short while later. ; Chief Noryal . Hines reported that the house was then nearly completely destroyed. After pumping for an hour from a nearby creek, the vol unteer crew was able to save only a barn and some outbuildings. Chief Hirons said that the fire was probably caused by defective wiring in a kitchen water pump. No estimate of damage was made immediately. I Neighbors have offered use cf the clubhouse to the homeless fam ily until other accommodations can here today and parliament gave unanimous vote of confidence to the Company's operations. The ' showdown probably will come in the next few days - at Abadan, the refinery center. There the British expect Iranian oil com pany I officials will ask British technicians to sign agreements ac knowledging they are employees of the Iranian, government at the same I terms they have had under AIOC contracts. The confidence vote in the Maj lis, the lower house of parliament, was 91 to 0. - , The ; vote in the upper house was 41 to 0. There was one ab stention in the Majlis; three in the upper! house. With none of the weeping and fainting that customarily marks his public utterances, Mossadegh declared quietly he will "proceed to take over the Anglo-Iranian oil company because the country de mands it." He implied his nation alist followers might turn to vio lence jif he lost the vote. There was no debate. A throng of several thousand nationalist demonstrators hailed the confidence vote in parliament square.! Street crowds of several hun dred cheered as a group of youths in a truck decorated with Iranian flags raided the company's Teh- ran offices and gasoline service stations this morning, hammering aown ailxj signs and replacing them with placards bearing the name of the Iranian national oil company, a government agency.
