No sooner was the budget mes
sage of President Eisenhower's
released than Oregon's Democra
tic contingent in Congress rushed
to reporters and mimeographs to
denounce it for failing to provide
funds for federal construction of
the John Day dam, and for
neglecting to recommend fresh
project starts for development of
Northwest electric power. They
claimed the voters' "mandate"
had been repudiated,' the mandate
being their own election to efdee.
What the Democratic delegation
forgot was that President Kisen
hower was given a majority in
each of their own constituencies.
He has as much right to claim
"mandate" for his partnership
plan as they for theirs of federal
power. Moreover since the wishes
and the money of all the people
are concerned the President's
mandate, being national, would
aeem to have priority over the
mandates of Morse, Green, Porter
and Ullman.
Nor can it be said that the
Eisenhower budget neglects re
source development. It calls for
spending- $1,538,000,000 in the next
fiscal year, up from $1,371,000,000
In the current year. Congress is
asked to start six new irrigation
projects and 24 rivers aad harbors
projects. Oregon and the North
west share generously in the over
all allowances in the budget.
.Funds-are recommended for two
new Oregon irrigation projects
Crooked river, Wapinitia, and for
continued work on the Talent pro
ject. Sizable funds are provided for

Senate Plans
New Try for
Union Today
Oregon state senators today will
see whether a day's rest will re
sult in any new approaches to Ab
lution of the deadlock over elec
tion of a president.
The State Senate, divided equal
ly between 15 Republicans and 15
Democrats, battled seven days
straight without getting together
on a president. Then the senators
took Sunday off.
Both House and Senate will start
the week with 10 a.m. sessions.
Some of the House committees
will be meeting as early as S a.m.
today. With a clear (37-23) Dem
ocratic majority, the House or
ganized speedily and. began intro
ducing bills during the week.
Despite the wintry weather,
many of the legislators went to
their home towns over the week
end. y
The Senate Is expected to pick
up where it left off Saturday aft
ernoondeadlocked because Dem
ocrats are holding fast for Sen
ate president candidate Walter J.
Pearson and none of the Repub
licans will vote for him.
Republicans have offered their
15 votes to three other Democrats,
but those men say they won't take
the post even if elected. Republi
can candidate Warren Gill has re
leased his pledges.

Bomb Threat

PORTLAND, Jan. 20 ( A
bomb hoax led to the search of
a Northwest Airlines plane on its
arrival here this morning from
Honolulu. Nothing was found.
Sheriff's deputies, FBI- and
postal agents were on hand when
the craft arrived and conducted a
thorough hunt through the plane,
mail and baggage.
A Northwest Airlines representa
tive said he had only meagre de
tails on the bomb threat, but said
it originated at Honolulu, where
a phone call was received yester
day night about a bomb supposed
ly aboard some airline craft
bound for the states.
The airline spokesman added
there -apparently " were t li r e
planes en route from Honolulu to
the states at the time. Two of
them, he said, returned to Hono
lulu but the other, the Northwest
plane, was too far out and had to
go on to Portland.
After the search here the flight,
No. 572, proceeded on to Seattle.
A United Air Lines plane was in
volved in another bomb scare last
night.
Someone called UAL offices in
Seattle and said there was a bomb
aboard a DC7 flying non-stop from
Seattle to Los Angeles last night.
The plane landed in San Fran
cisco-, where demolition experts
from the Army's Ft. Mason were
waiting along with FBI agents and
sheriff's deputies. No bomb was

Enough donors to supply 21 pints
of fresh blood will be on hand here
tomorrow when a cute 8-year-old
girl undergoes a delicate heart
operation that will necessitate the
removal of her complete blood
supply.
Little Sarita Ann Boswell, Rocky

at Duke Hospital to remove a con
gestion in her heart.
A complicating factor was that
the girl has the comparatively
rare type Q-RH negative blood.
Only fresh blood can be used for
the operation eliminating the use
of plasma and liquid blood in
blood banks.
Response to an appeal (or the
0-RH negative blood was over

come from the Rocky Mount area,
while eight women will stand by
in Rocky Mount in case of addi

Her step father, Albert Taylor,
