Thermal Power on the Way
The Northwest comes a step closer to sup
plementing its hydro-electric power with the
'thermal energy of the atom with the an
nouncement of Pacific Power and Light that
il is acquiring a 9,000-acre site near Hanford
for the erection of a reactor plant.
j There are no known plans for immediate
development, and understandably so. 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

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-

emphasis on infant and maternal care. That
form of cooperation survives and is well or
ganized over the county. 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.

clinics for vaccination against polio, in Mar

Teamsters' Probe 'Hot Potato' for Many

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - The

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.

Where a pinch may come in this program,

to neglect some of its present work to under
take this big job. If the vaccine is to be fur

because free federal supplies are limited.
The project is worthy but will require care

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.

When Beck handed down ord

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

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.

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,

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. I do not
spend my monev on such enter-
tainment ana object strenuously

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.

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.

dents studied methods of keeping
their school and school grounds

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.

words and pictures was compiled
