The air lias far from cleared as to the future expan sion of hydro-electric projects. But PP&L President McKee exhibits a commendable firesight in his statement that "the time is thermal pnerirv tn tcpon tin . . w. ...&a, , H, ...... .... Ivr..,. growing power requirements. . . . We want 1i be ready to take action at the proper time." Thermal energy, in its present stage of development, is considerably more expensive than that produced by the great rivers of. the Jv'orthwest. Apparently, from i cost factor, even steam plants would bring cheaper power than reactors, but as McKee says, "we look for great progress to be made in reducing atomic costs." Already, more ihan a score of companies over the nation are either presently building or have orders to build civilians research jjidms ior power reactors, jne nuniDcr un doubtedly will increase rapidly. PP1L and three- other firms Washington Water Power, Portfand General Electric and Montana Power have had a , power study contract with the Atomic Energy Commission since 1954 and for two years had a study team at Hanford. Ttiey must have found much encouragement for their venture. Com- , mercial atomic power isn't here yet but it's well to know it is in the background as a major adjunct to the, power output of. this japidly growing region. Salk Viccine for School Children A "crash program-for inoculating school rhildrcn with Salk vaccine is in prospect for Marion and Polk, counties. The bi-county medical society offers to perform the serv- be if, volunteer groups will organize the necessary -clinics. That should be possible, in View of the recognized importance of provid ing children with this protection against a dreaded disease. .

In thirteen separate communities there are local committees and for the county as a whole what is called the Citizens' Advisor Council. This has some 150 rpembers from all over the county. Mrs. Lewis D. Clark is the chairman. This organization advises with the health department staff, headed by Dr. Willard Stone. When local clinics are held, the local committee arranges for such assistance as may be required of non-professional people. Baby clinics are still a regular undertaking, providing counsel for mothers and immu nization for babes. The professional nurse laff does this work, but always there is a doctor in attendance.

ROBERT SMITH Slatesmaa Carreipondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - The .. forthcoming Senate investigation of the Teamsters is making a ''number of Pacific Northwest members of Congress wish they were like delegates to the United Nations who, when a ticklish diplomatic issue comes up for a vote, can abstain, taking sides neither one way or the other. The basic rea- son (or the un r easy feeling that prevails in the political camps of some Demo- crats . and Rc- - pitblirans fronr " the Norf H'wesF is that they have had Teamster financial support ' in recent elec tion campaigns. A Rnbt. Smith The Senate, of course, isn't ex . ploring this common condition, because this in itself is no dif ferent from the financial support . congressional candidates have received from the olher groups and interests, from business ty coons, farm organizations and other labor unions. ; .

Now we ran do a wholesale job of immunizing school children of the two counties." Where a pinch may come in this program, -however, is with the staff of the health de partment. Unless it is augmented it will have to neglect some of its present work to under take this big job. If the vaccine is to be fur nished free local donations will be required because free federal supplies are limited. The project is worthy but will require care ful preparation and organization before 'it is launched. u-ith ir ranirtlv. Long Alphabet Loses Shaw Legacy .. The effort of G. Bernard Shaw to propagate his notions about an- alphabet has come to naught. An English judge has declared the Shaw bequest to go to propagandize for a bigger alphabet on the one-letter, One-sound idea, is invalid. This would involve a change in the , law of the land, which, ruled the jtidse. was beyond Siiaw's power of devis'ng. The famous dramatist included an alterna tive in. his will. If his boquesTTshould fail by judicial decision then his estate was to be divided among the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the National Gallery of Ireland. We may be sure those legatees will hail the judge's decision, for the Shaw estate is worth over 12,000,000 sow. Royalties from his books and plays keep tolling in there have been three or four in production in New York this winter; so these institutions will keep on sharing ior yean to come. The Shaw alphabet promises now to go the way of simplified spelling, which had great backing in the early part of this cen tury. Teddy Roosevelt gave it a boost, and so did Andrew Carnegie. The Chicago Trib une persisted in using some simplified spell ingslike frate for freight until the death, of its publisher, Col. Robert S. McCormick. Now there is no agitation for simplified spell-, ing. Advocates of a revised "world calendar" however are still serious in working for it, but without making perceptible headway. We cling to our 26-lctter alphabet (though its letters have been overworked ever since NRA and AAA), to old spellings and to the old calendar. For our part we are happy to see Shaw's estate go to such worthy institutions as those he named as his second choice. underwrite political campaign, Few politicians like to summarily chop off possible campaign sup- port, especially when they fear a close c ampatgir ahead hrwhich that group, in this case the Teamsters, might swing the out come by their choice of candi dates. Sen. Henry M.

It became a delicate matter for Jackson when the nbrommltlee called la same of his, Seattle constituents ..who are. top iTeannter.: leaders i around the throne of Dave Berk. When Beck handed down ord ers fur his chieltains not to co operate with the subcommittee, Jackson went along with commit tee members in voting to cite several of them for contempt of Congress;' but he explained that if they should later change their miad and testify , freely, this wofild purge them of their con tcrtipt. Meanwhile, the Senate decided to put the labor racketeering probe In the runtody of a new special committee whoae mem bers were chosen from the com mittees on labor and en govern ment operations. Jackson and Ken. Wayne Morn (D-Ore.) were both naturals to become members of the new committee, but both begged off.

They'd prelcr to remain University a Manufacturer? Millwork manufacturers are complaining because the University of Oregon operates a plant which furnishes millwork on construc tion jobs' for the State System of Higher Edu cation. Administrative officers claim the state saved $60,000 when this plant supplied mill work for a new dormitory for Oregon State College, They explain also that. they jjot the machinery almost free gratis out of federal "surplus" The private manufacturers cite certain 'advantages the state enjoys over them in its cost accounting: equipment nearly cost-free, taxes, unemploymentjnsurance. This opens'old sores, which fester not only in this state but in other states, and as the Hoover Commission revealed, on a wide scale in the federal establishment. The do-it-our-selves habit tends to grow among public ad ministrators so we have the government op erating (uneconomically) a rope walk or "cord age plant in Massachusetts, and coffee roast ing plants at other points, etc., etc. We haven't had much of this in Oregon though the state does do most of its own printing in three state-owned printing plants, and, partly to provide occupation for in mates, does have farnis and docs industrial work at some of the institutions. Virtually all its produce is self-consumed. The Statesman dislikes to see this expan sion into industry by the university or the State System of Higher Education. Tax ex-, cmption itself creates a basic inequity in competition with private manufacturers. In' a sharply competitive period such a: the one we seem to be entering bids from private suppliers may be less 'than costs to the state with all its "advantages. The system loses also in good will among those whom it must de pend on for a large measure of its support. quiet about the whole matter, pointing out that it's being handled by "the other body," as members of one house say when referring ja-the-other chamber.

Civil Authorities Told, Sen; Neuberger Says Otto Cahill Praises Mrs. Pierce To the Editor: . The report of my happy event which appeared in your issue- of Friday, IS February 1957, con tains an erroneous reflecUon upon the United States Air Force which 1 hope you will be kind enough to correct. I refer to the medical service furnished to me and to which I am entitled as a retired mem ber of the armed services. On IS June 1956 the Air Force moved me to the- Portland Air Base for medical attention upon the recommendations of a doctor .engaged by the civil authorities and with the approval of the Polk County District Attorney. The following day, 16 June ,19'6, .in spite of knowledge of an im nendinn. Aniwal tn the U. S. Su preme vCourt. the special deputy district attorney of Polk County demanded my removal from the Air Base Hospital to the prison, and he engaged an alleged heart specialist to provide the opinion he required. Upon receipt of that opinion, the Air Force then delivered me by ambulance to Salem. "m Any inference-that I was moved at any time without the consent and the knowledge of the civil authorities is a departure from the truth and the recorded facts. Other discrepancies apply only to me and do not warrant com ment. Otto W. Cahill. Lt. Colonel. L'SAF (Ret P.O. Box 58, Nelscott, Or Gross Income Tax To the Editor: . , , , It is now learned through re liable sources that our vaunted "legislators" just refuse to go along with 'a gross income tax. They know what it is and what it will do. They know that gross income is a two-edged sword when the money raised is ear marked for both education and welfare. The recipients use the money for dire necessities, put directly into the merchants cash registers, and thus successfully stopping the increased number of bankruptcies. : It the subject of gross income was put up to the people, pro perly advertised, they would vote for it without question. But, if the law-makers will not go for gross income, let them bring out a better method of their own. We suggest that they put a poll tax of 50 cents on every car that crosses our bridges, and that every church parsonage in the state pay the same amount of taxes as are paid by other pri vate home owners. Welfare bills locked up in the senate mean for the senators and also for the welfare recipients fnany future headaches, and don't let anyone tell you to the con trary. George H. Holmes, 1326 3rd St., Salem, Ore. . Protests OCE Play To the editor: I have been under the impres sion that the Oregon Slate sys tem of higher education was guided by moral Christian prin ciples. But since I have had con firmation of the fact that Oregon College of Education 'a teachers' college is going to present the play "Shadow and Substance," I have been forced to alter my at titude. This play Itself Is a slam aga'inst Catholicism and Includes snide remarks aimed at Presby tcrianism and Lutheranism and has anti-American slogans which might easily be , construed as Communist Inspired. The abridged form of the plav Is vile enough, but O.C.E. is daring to present the original version, with no changes. There was obviously a reason for the publisher's cut ting of these inflammatory pas sages. I write this in the sinccrest hope that something can be done to protect our colleges from such dramatic Immorality.

Monmouth, Oregon, By Lichty To the Editor: May 1 take" this opportunity to pay a very brief tribute to the memory of Cornelia Marvin Pierce, who recently died at her home in Salem? Many editorials and statements have noted her accomplishments as Oregon state librarian and as secretary to her late husband, Representative Wal ter M. Pierce. One significant fact shbuld be added. I still re member the ' famous Senator George W. Norris telling me in 1937, when I was writing a series of articles about him:. "I rarely have met a more brilliant, woman than the wife' of. Congressman Pierce of Oregon. She keeps all of us .informed about events" in the Pacific North west which should be brought to attention. Furthermore. I never beard a more lucid or thor ough discussion of Oregon's ex perience with the initiative and referendum than Mrs. Pierce gave to us at the Dodge Hotel one evening. She is truly a bril liant person." Those, as I recollect, were al most Senator. Norris's exact words. Inasmuch as the Washing ton press corps in 1940 chose Sen- ator Norris as the outstanding U. X Snaf nr nf mnrlnrii tima ' S. Senator of modern times and inasmuch as Senator John F. Kennedy repeats this estimate In his new book about Senators of courage I think the homage by Senator Norris to an illustri ous Oregon woman is noteworthy, indeed. Richard L. "Neuberger, .

IT ESMD3 (Continued frtm Page One) dealing with Oregon's' economic problems. This was allowed to lapse with a change of adminis tration. Instead a smaller agency was set up in the office of the state - budget director the late William Crawford was in charge. With the advent dfihe war Craw ford's main work was to direct state cooperation in wartime activities. In Governor Sncll's administra tion Johnny Kelly, former news paper writer, was1 employed to head a state agency for work in this area. Later it was dropped. Nothing more was done until 1953 when a new development com mission was set up, the one which Holmes would dismiss at the present time. It took a long time for this commission to get going; but it has been function ing the past biennium. It hired Stanford Research to do an in dustrial survey aimed at quick results; but Holmes: arid Sen. Neuberger were critical of this report because it did not exploit, the value of low-cost power to attract industry. With the employment of Ivan Bloch any such defect will be cured. Bloch came to Oregon as engineer with Bonneville Power Administration. His job was to find consumers for Bonneville power and he made extensive surveys of Northwest cities, showing site possibilities and list ing the -economic factors for each. He can bring to this as signment an intimate knowledge of Oregon's resources and econo mic possibilities. Whether he can turn up much more in the way of immediate opportunities than did the Stanford Institute re mains to be seen. In my opinion a state develop ment agency can only be of limited value in promoting indus trial expansion1. It can assemble data and make it available to those seeking locations for in dustry. Perforce, it must be neu tral as regards locations, within the state. Moreover, it finds it self up against fierce competition from states and communities which bait their hooks liberally to attract new industry. The South has been specially flagrant in this regard, with offers of tax advantage, etc., which Oregon UM I nnl nnH ckmiM nnt nffar will not and should not offer. A promotion agency is always tempted to claim credit for new industry even though it has had little or nothing to do with ob taining it. Hence the difficulty of appraising the value of such an agency. The present commission lists' quite a number ef. new plants which have cacne to Ore gon. Just how effectivrtvjart was iq bringing them we do knoW- , the endhe manager, . . . ... of business make the decisions for their concerns, and usually these decisions rest on weighing of all factors with most of the ballyhoo blown out. That will continue to be true when Holmes gets his new department. Most every governor takes a fling at trying to get the state to lift itself by its bootstraps. This will be the one for Holmes, so let him have his chance. But do not be so optimistic as to think a new director of Devel opment can expand Oregon pay rolls overnight.

This year marks the seventh straight year, Englewood School of Salem has won a Freedoms Foun dation Award. Englewood, together with five other Salem schools, took an award in the coveted Freedom Foundations school program. Englewood students participated in an "anti-Utter" campaign to win. "Our students have won an award each year since the Free dom Foundations program started in 1950," Principal Dorothy Daugherty said. "This is the fifth top award which permits us to send a student and teacher to Val ley Forge Englewood students and staff have won." Jaycees' Car Safety Check Wins Award A national eertlflcate of achieve ment for a vehicle safety-check program cenducted last August by the Salem Junior Chamber of Commerce was presented to the city Wednesday during brief cere monies at the.

White and Ben Fortner, chair man of the Jaycee vehicle check committee. During the two day check in Salem, 372 cars were inspected and 157 were found to have mech anical defects. This is approxi mately 50 per cent higher than the national average. r Lunsford commended the Salem efforts and said he was looking forward to results of the , next -fja-lem check which is scheduled for some time in May. Periodic auto checks are compulsory in many eastern states, Lunsford noted. Paul E. Lippold of the Salem Citi zens Advisory Traffic Council was also present during the ceremony.

Theme of Englewood's award winning program this year was "Keep America Beautiful." Stu dents studied methods of keeping their school and school grounds and adjacent city park property clean -and free of litter. Methods Studied Older students studied the meth ods the state uses to protect its property. They also discussed and put into practice personal habits to help keep public buildings and grounds clean. A summary of these activities in words and pictures was compiled and sent to the Freedoms Four dations for judging. The student in line to make this year's trip to Valley Forge is Susan McGce, student body presi dent. Susan, a sixth grader, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Horace McGee. A teacher will -accompany her. Salem's other - top winner this year, Morningside Klementary School, won with its first attempt, although the entry was meant for last year but held over because it was received too late for judging. Neither the teacher nor the stu dent who will make the trip east this spring has been selected, ac cording to MrsA Margaret Pierce, sixth grade teacher who was in charge" of the project. Freedom Board Prepared by the fifth graders of last year, the project consisted of a large "Freedom Board" jm which each member of the class told why his father's job was more satisfying in this country than it would be "behind the Iron Cur tain," plus an original play and poehis on the same general theme. Sixth graders this year, the same class wrote an "American Credo" and put it to original music. A tape recording of . thi was added to their entry. Bush School is on the winner list for the fourth consecutive year. Recipient of a Principal Award, the highest, in 1954, it won an Honor Medal the following year and a' Library Award last year.
