" 1rRTT.AVn on Twrfvc Pacific
Northwest industries, all heavy
electrie powef users, Tuesday pro
tested a proposed power sale con
tract between t n e eonnevuie
Power Administration and private
Utilities.
Mn a Vttr to Paul J. Raver
Bonneville administrator, the firms
contend that 7 The proposed con
tract . . . sets up drastic limitations
on the sale of power by Bonneville
to new industry or for the expan
sion of existing industry."
.'"The proposed utility contract
expressly provides, under certain
conditions, that Bonneville will not
enter into agreement to supply
firm power to an industrial cus
tomer without; the consent of the
private utility," the letter said,
adding, "The industrial customers
of Bonneville Administration
strongly believe it is contrary to
the public interest to grant a veto
right over the Government's sale
of its own power." f
-Signing the fetter to Raver pre
testing the contract were represen
taties of these firms: Aluminum
Company of America, Carborun
dum Co., Kaiser Aluminum and
Chemical Corp.; Penn. Salt Manu
facturing Co.; Reynolds Metals
Co. and Victor Chemical Works.
;They said they and other indus
tries who are protesting the con
tract purchase more than 99 per
cent of all the power now being
supplied by Bonneville to industry.

DALLAS Advertisements for
bids on the Dallas junior high
school property have failed to at

Yfhitworth reported Tuesday.
. Whit worth said the district ad
vertised for bids approximately
a month ago but none had been
received Monday night, the
scheduled time for opening
them.
One reason may have been that
the school can't give possession
until about the first of the year,
Whitworth said. The district
probably will wait three months
before trying to seU the prop
erty again, he added.
The junior high building will
be abandoned when the new Dal

Color Bar Ends in U. S. Capitol
Cafes, But Separation Remains
WASHINGTON LB The color
line vanished in restaurants of the
nation's capital Tuesday by order
of the Supreme Court But with
hard-to-find exceptions, white and
Negro residents continued to eat
and drink apart.
The high court Monday, by an
t to 0 vote, upheld an 1S73 law
requiring that ''any well-behaved
and respectable person" be served
in "any licensed restaurant, eat
ing house, bar room, ice- cream
saloon or soda . fountain" in the
District of Columbia.
District officials promptly an
nounced the long-mislaid law
would be enforced beginning
Wednesday. Most restaurants beat
the deadline by scrapping their
white only policy at once. A
spot check showed, however, al
most no Negroes asked for service
in restaurants where formerly
they were unwelcome.
One exception was Edgar Brown.
Commie Propaganda Methods
Explained at Girls State Meet
By MARGUERITE WRIGHT
Staff Writer, The Statesman
The 225 Oregon high school girls attending Girls State .here
this week were exposed to more
afternoon than they probably have
To convince his audience that
Browne of Portland, long identified with anti-subversive activities,
read long passages from Red tracts and guidebooks on how to in
filtrate and destroy cities, how
to turn American children into
communist saboteurs, and how
to turn schools into propaganda
outlets.
Browne defended the investi
gations by congressional commit
tees of communists and fellow
travelers, and said he doubted
"whether any single person has
been harmed by any action of
these . . . committees."
Those who are asked to an
swer questions as to their com
munist affiliations or sympathies
are not being "smeared," Browne
said. He compared them to
skunks and implied that a skunk
can't be smeared.
Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Browne
said, "has served a wonderful
purpose in America," and added:
"I don't know of a single person
McCarthy has accused that has
proven bis innocence."
During the question-answer pe
riod, Browne said he felt "very
bitter" about Korea and doubt
ed whether the possible truce
would lead to lasting peace.
Chances of peace now -are about
50-50, he said, but for the long
run he was more pessimistic.
Asked by on of the high
schoolers "how we can help fight
communism" Browne answered:
"Listen and give to the FBI all
information (pertaining to Reds)
you hear; and, go to church and
lead a Christian life because if
you believe in God you won't
ever become a communist"
The speaker, detective captain
in the Portland police depart
ment and member of the Ameri
can Legion national un-American
i activities committee, was intro
duced by Karl Wagner, Oregon
Legion Department head.

Water Issue
Discussed at
Grange Meet
MEDFORD UB Concern over
Oregon's water problems was ex
pressed Tuesday by a group of
speakers at the state Grange con
vention. The panel discussion followed the
address Monday of Gov. Paul
Patterson. He said that full utiliza
tion of water resources was neces
sary for continued development of
the state's two major industries
agriculture and timber.
Patterson said be hoped that a
state water commission authorized
by the recent Legislature, would
develop a new water code which
would provide the answer to one
of the greatest of the state's
questions: How shall the water be
used ! most widely?
These men spoke during the
panel discussion:
Kenneth Sawyer, agriculture
of Commerce. He urged conflicting
interests such as fishermen, re
creation, power, irrigation, stream
pollution and others to work to
gether. He said that high costs
may j require that future water
developments in the state be of
multi-purpose type. .
Marvin Shearer, Oregon State
College, said that irrigation could
provide a new source of wealth for
the state. More efficient use and
elimination of losses was cited as
a major source of irrigation water.
Elmer McClure, state grange
master, said that despite the heavy
rainfall this year, within two
months there will be a shortage
of water for domestic uses, irri
gation, and power generation.
In other action the Grange:
Officially noted a decrease in
membership down 397 from the
May, 1952, total of 29,938.
Presented gold sheaf awards to
eight persons with 50-year mem
berships. They included: Kate

Drew Pearson
QaimsPUDs
in
WASHINGTON (A Secretary
of the Interior McKay said Tues
day thhat any power' contracts he
signs with electric utility com
panies in the Pacific Northwest
"will continue to protect' the
preferential rights of the public
customers.
He took issue, in a letter -' to
Drew Pearson, with statements
made by Pearson Tuesday in a
column appearing in a number of
newspapers concerning ' negotia
tions now underway between the
Bonneville Power Administration
and private utility companies.
McKay denied Pearson's state
ment that under proposed con
tracts all power from the huge
Bonneville Dam would be turned
over to "nine private utilities with
the co-ops . and municipalities
pretty much left out in the cold."
Acting Secretary Ralph A. Tudor
made the letter public here. He
said McKay would sign it in Port
land, Ore., and mail it to Pear
son. McKay is in Oregon on a
speaking trip.
McKay denied a Pearson state
ment that the House Appropria
tions Committee knocked out the
"1908 reclamation law provision.
inserted under Teddy Roosevelt,
where by cities,- cooperatives and
public organizations have first call
on federal power.
Assarts Ceatuaaaee
He said the committee made no
such change but on the contrary
"took particular care to assure
that these customers would con
tinue to receive preferential treat
ment"
Pearson wrote that "the model
contract McKay sent to Oregon
Electric Co.. though the other util
ities blanketing the Northwest are
to get similar contracts.
McKay said his office has only
been reviewing some forms of con
tracts sent in by Bonneville Power
Administrator Paul Raver and
added:
"All proposed contracts fully
protect the preferential rights of
the public customers and you may
rest assured that any contract that
is finally signed by me will con
tinue to protect that right."
Pearsoa Claims
Referring to Pearson's state
ment that the proposed model con
tract not only gives them (the
utilities) an option on all power
produced by the Bonneville sys
tem, but provides that no new
contracts shall be let to new in
dustry until the option to the utili
ties is met." McKay said:
"No contract under considera
tion contemplates nor will any
contract finally signed give the
privately-owned utilities 'an option
on all power produced by the Bon
neville system.'
"The Bonneville Administrator
Paul Raver has proposed and I
am strongly inclined to agree that
all publicly and privately-owned
utilities served by Bonneville be
restricted from accepting any new
customers requiring large indi
vidual blocks of power which must
be provided by Bonneville.
Policy Said Needed
"This appears necessary and ad
visable in view of the stage of
power in the area and the grow
ing needs of all domestic and
rural consumers."

Reports reaching here said the
famed Himalayan guide made the
first climb on his own May 29.
Thus be was the first man to reach
the top and live to tell the tale.
Then, noting that his New Zealand

It was reported that Tensing and

ContracfcLet
School Job
AtHayesvill
(Story also on Page 1)
A contract was awarded for
an addition to Hayesrille School
and preliminary plans for a new
Grant School were studied Tues
day night by Salem School
Board.
The Hayesville contract for an
additional class room and two
offices went to low" bidder C W.
Hill. Son, , on bid of $7,900.
Other bids ranged to $9,689 from
six other Salem contractors.
Grant School sketches were
shown by Architect W. I. "Will
iams who is working on a two
story new building built around
the south and east of the present
old school at Market and Win
ter Streets. Included would be 10
or 13 classrooms plus library,
multipurpose room, kitchen and
other facilities. The project is
scheduled tentatively for next
year.
No board action was taken on
ther proposed consolidation of
Hails Ferry and Mountain View
districts with Salem School Dis
trict, but members indicated
they saw no objection to the
move initiated by the outlying
districts and due for a vote in
all three districts Jane IS.
Schools Business Manager C. C
Ward submitted an analysis of the
neighboring school districts show
ing that the addition would not
materially change the tax mill
age in the Salem district If con
solidation is approved, the budg
ets and tax levies of the districts
would be unchanged in the com
ing year as they are already ap
proved by the voters. Next year's
Salem budget would incorporate
the additional schools.
Halls Ferry has two classrooms,
two teachers and 38 pupils; Mt
View has three rooms,, two teach
ers and 49 pupils. The former
is under an $11,568 budget and
42.8 mill tax for the coming
year and the latter a $12,800
budget and 53 mill tax. Salem
school tax is 37.1 mills.
The Salem school board at last
night's meeting hired Miss Sab
ina M orison. Crowfoot, Ore.,
teacher,; as an addition to the
special education department for
teaching a state-subsidized pilot
course for mentally retarded
children.' Salem was one of five
districts chosen by the state edu
cation office for the experiment
authorized by the recent legis
lature. Early Milk
Deliveries
Scheduled
Salem milk consumers will get
their "milk earlier beginning to
morrow, morning and at regular
times, according to terms of a
union contract settled Tuesday
night by local dairymen.
Starting time for milk deliver
ies will be 5 a.m. April 1 through
October 1 and 6 a.m. for the oth
er half of the year. Last year's
contract called for 7 a.m. starting
time.
As in the past, no definite time
was , set for wholesale deliveries
under the contract negotiated by
AF of L Teamsters Union, local
324, with Mayflower and Curly 's
dairies.
Andy Anderson, business agent
of the local union, said all union
workers gained a 12 H hourly pay
boost as well as increased health
and welfare benefits and addi
tional paid holidays under the
new 1933-54 contract
Starting times in Salem now
coincide with those of Portland,
Anderson pointed out
Dairies recently have been com
peting with other on milk de
livery times which meant cust
omers were getting their milk
early some days and late others.
