S. Court of Appeals here to set aside a Federal Power Com mission order authorizing the Port land General Electric Co. to build a hydroelectric power project n the Deschutes River. The project contemplates con struction of a concrete dam 205 feet high and a smaller dam three miles downstream from the Pelton site. The Fish Commission of Oregon and the Oregon Game Commission have petitioned the Federal Power Commission for a rehearmg. Oregon contends construction of the dam would prevent free pas sage of fish, principally salmon and steelhead trout, and would mean their ultimate destruction, as their spawning grounds are above Pelton site. The petitioners also said fish ladders over a height such as that proposed for the dam are impractical. Cobhler Overcomes Red Tape, Allowed to Give Gift to Truman NEW YORK OP) -Four years ago the humble heart of John Porio overflowed with gratitude to America, the land he adopted when he left Italy 30 years ago. He wanted to do something for the new land. Pario, 45, was a cobbler, a quiet craftsman in leather. So four years ago he set out to fashion a pair of lounging slippers for the men who symbolized his country to him the President of the United States. From Italy, Pario imported an expensive piece of hand brocaded velvet. Then it dawned on him that he didn't know President Truman's shoe size. A query to the White House went unanswered. Pario haunted Truman political rallies during the 1948 campaign, crowding forward for a glimpse of the presidential feet. Secret service men looked on him with suspicion, warning him away. Porio decided President Truman could wear a size 9B. A year ago he finished the slip pers. Then a new problem arose -how to get them into the Presi dent's hands. The cobbler was watching a tel evision news program when he got an idea. He wrote the commenta tor, NBC's John Cameron Swayze. Swayze took up the problem with the White House. On Friday, after four years, Po rio's humble, grateful gift will be given to the President of the Unit ed States.

Robeson Denied Use of Seattle Auditorium SEATTLE YiiP)-A contract for Paul Robeson, Negro singer, to use the Civic Auditorium here May 20 for a concert was ordered can celled Wednesday. Building Superintendent John B. Cain issued the order. He said he had noted public disturbances arose from Robeson's appearances in some other cities. Cain said he acted under a city ordinance which prohibits the use of public buildings for meetings which miht tend to engender "racial or religious antagonisms." Robeson has been a controversial figure because of activity fof causes which have been labeled Pro-Communist at Congressional hearings. The use of the Auditorium had been obtained by a Seattle group known a the "Peopl Pro grams.' , Lester Catlett, chairman of th group, commented that the action was not only a violation of a con tract but "involved a fundamental question of civil rights.? Legal steps to enforce ;the contract "Will be taken, he said. Catlett is a member of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union. ' . "This action will bring? shame to Seattle nationally and interna tionally," Catlett said.

Mrs. King has steadfastly de clined to see the dancing girl her son brought home from his trip to Paris last year, and threatened to cut him off without a penny. Samia, former favorite of King Farouk, has gone on her dancing way, wiggling her torso in night clubs from Miami to Las Vegas.

"We might just as logically feel that our adding chlorine to the water is a step toward such social ization," he explained. Hadjimarkos urged that consid eration be given this valuable ad dition to the water. "Fluorine is tasteless and, in the quantities used (which would be under the careful scrutiny of the Oregon State Board of Health) complete ly harmless. Nothing tut good can come of such an investment of 20 cents a year to reduce tooth decay a possible 60 per cent."
