- I 1 t T- Magnuson1 to Get Job of Promoting Northwest Dams 4 By A.KOBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON The mantle of chief legislative responsibility for carrying on Columbia river power development, stripped from the back of Sen. Guy Cordon by Oregon voters in last week's election of Richard L. Neuberger, will in January be wrapped about the shoul ders of Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.). . I Cordon wore that! mantle during the past two years when the ', 1 GOP ran the 83M congress, for J lncreasein Farm x4dvisojy Service Due WASHINGTON (UP) The Agriculture Department is expand ing its on-the-farm advisory serv ice in an attempt to Save many young farm families from bank ruptcy. ! fi Farming Is now "cash business nd big business," and farmers must be good business managers to survive in a dayof increasingly commercialized operations, Paul V. Kepner. deputy administrator of the Extension Service, said Sunday night. -!. ' Young farmers are on especially " shaky financial ground because many are operating under heavy debt loads, Kepner said. To help thorn boost efficiency and Income the Agriculture Department i and cooperating state extension serv ices this year are expanding iheir en-the-f arm advisory aervice across the country. Get Expert Advice "You can reasonably, assume that in time, an farm families who need and want this more individual tailor-made kind of assistance will lave the chance to get it,"; exten-, - sion administrator Garence M. Ferguson said. v i f Under the program! farm fami lies get expert advice on when to buy and sell crops and supplies, what crop to grow and how to grow them, livestock management . and marketing, improved home making 'methods everything in volved in farming. " . I Under the extension program in ' force in most counties, farm agents representing the Extension Service nave to help so many farmers and suburban dwellers with such a wide range of problems that they have do time for personal, overall serv ice to individual families. i Finds Available U J . Congress last summer added even million dollars to the Exten ' aion Service budget for expansion of the personal advisory1 service. Results, in the form of higher in comes for. farmers aided by the service can be expected to show op within a year, Kepner predicted, although it may take (longer for farmers who have to make gradual changes in crop rotation and live stock programs. ! L " With the extra federal money and an additional four million dollars added by states and local sources, extension officials had enough money to hire an additional 1,000 county agents. ; ; j Nevada Senate Vote Conceded By Candidate - k - . t j . . Rlinaicay Boy Opens Jail Door With Shoetace RENO (UP) Sen.; Ernest S. Brown (R-Nev), defeated at the polls a week ago by more : than 12,000 votes conceded Monday the election of Reno Democrat Al- - an Bible to the major portion of the unexpired term of the late Sen. Pat McCarran. i f Brown refused to concede Bible's election immediately after the bal loting at the request of high Re publican officials. He hinted the GOP was contemplating a Senate floor contest of Bible's right to take his Senate seat" when he pre sents his certificate of election af ter the state Supreme Court can v asses the ballots Bee. 1. : Brown, who flew to Washington FrWiav to talc hie snt f hp.tr : censure charges against ea. Jos eph R. McCarthy (-Wis). said he had cleared the matter with Re publican party leaders who - pre f erred to abide by the wsh of the during that! period he was the'! most powerf al member of the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee when it came, to fixing the amount of money to be spent in the Pa cific Northwest by the federal agencies that count for most in the resource1 development of the region. : j Magnuson,' with his party set 19 take back control of congress, gains this responsibility by vir tue of his position on the same committee. A 10-year senate vet eran, he is 9th ranking Democrat on the committee and will be in line for the chairmanship of one of the 10 subcommittees which divide up the job of .working on the federal, budget , r - - j Cordon was chairman of the subcommittee! on tne Interior de partment ; appropriations, which gave him the dominant voice in determining the level of spending in the region by the Bonneville power administration and bureau of reclamation, whose budgets were sharply reduced in the past two years. . r - ' j May Get Chairmanship Magnuson served on that sub committee last year and it is quite possible he may attain the chair manship. In the Democratic 82nd congress, Sen. Carl Hayden (D Ariz.) headed the Interior sub committee, but he 4s now in line for the full chairmanship and wMl probably sit only as a member of subcommittees. : " ; i Magnuson's responsibility irt this new role Is magnified by his criticism of the "partnership power policy of the Eisenhower administration and his announced preference for; continued all- federal development of the hydro electric potential of the Columbia river according to the main con trol plan. It 1s only by approval of the house and senate appropri ations committees that new fed eral dams can be started in the pattern which has seen six major dams built or started (plus those smaller projects in the Willam- ette valley and on other tribuar- tes) during the past two decades. Appropriation Committee v ! The committees on appropria tions, ! men, are likely to be the pit of the forthcoming struggle over power policy in the new 84h congress, for financing is the mijor distinction in the imple mentation of the federal vs. the "partnership" approach. ; Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay says the election results will not cause him to alter the "partnership" policy under which congress is asked to put up the funds to finance the Hood control, navigation and other non-reim-bursible - features of new dams while local utilities pay for and control the power facilities. ; Election of Neuberger gives the region four senators who are united in their opposition to this policy and advocacy of seeking sufficient appropriations to con tinue the policy of the Roosevelt Truman administrations, whereby the government puts up all the money for dams and the treasury is reimbursed with interest the share of the cost allocated to power. ' : j .j ' The Eisenhower administration has argued that the "partnership" policy is necessary in order to reduce the , government's outlay for public works expansion in view of the high national debt, while critics of that policy argue that federal spending for power projects is largely repaid arid is therefore not a debt but a sound investment. 1 Either approach is in the hands of the lawmakers, however, what ever the administration may pro pose. And whether congress next year may demonstrate any renew ed willingness under Democratic guidance to finance new projects as the region' senatorial bloc advocates, remains I to be seen. But this will be dependent largely upon the attitude of the appropri ations committees a condition Sen. Magnuson will have the most power to influence. : 7 H rr "I -: ? v'i r ' , jr- Roseburg Millt Prices Down ROSEBURG W The price of wholesale milk went down a cent Tuesday . to 20 cents a quart, following a cent cut in the retail price to 22 cents a quart last week. - . !.. jj ; O.
