Robert D. Holmeg Thurs day endorsed a Columbia River Regional Corporation power de velopment bill sponsored in Con gress by Democratic Senators Richard L. Neuberger and Wayne Morse. The bill, prepared by the North west Public Power Assn., would set up the corporation to sell bonds to finance dam construction. The Republican State Central Committee also gave its endorse ment to the measure this week. "At last we may be able to move ahead with orderly plans for power development in the public interest," Gov. Holmes maintained. Some Weaknesses The bill, he pointed out, contains some weaknesses, but does provide a chance for agreement by public and private interests: The governor said he saw the measure as the "way to counter act the present tendency to build wrong dams in the wrong places at the wrong times. It provides nothing more than a more orderly process for accom plishing what the federal govern ment until recently was trying to do, he commented. Really a BPA The proposed new corporation is really nothing more than a "Bon neville Power Administration"' which would be given powers and duties commensurate with the re sponsibilities which have been thrust upon it, the governor continued. Approximately one-half or more of the electric generating capacity in the Pacific Northwest now con sists of projects for which Bonne ville Power Administration is mar keting agent, Holmes added.

C. Branson announced Thursday. Widmer, formerly office mana ger at Valley View Hospital at Glenwood Springs, Colo., has al ready joined the staff, The hospital has been without an office manager for the past five months. Raised in the Sheridan-Amity area, Widmer is an accountant and has had hospital administration in struction at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind. He is married and has four chil dren, i flown to Santa Monica, Calif. where a more thorough study of the plane's electrical system can be made. Pilot William Farris of Seattle said a malfunction, either of the landing gear mechanism or of the panel indicators, caused. him to land without knowing the wheels were not down and locked. "We tried and couldn't get it to malfunction again," Byrd said, "so apparently the trouble was tem porary." Because of limited facilities, a closer examination of wiring could not be made, he said, and this will be done by crews at Santa Monica. Trustee for' State Library Appointed Mrs. Eva Nelson Shold, Pendle ton, was appointed by Gov. Robert D. Holmes Thursday as a trustee of the Oregon State Library. He also reappointed Mrs. A. T.

Minors employed in the canning or any processing operation of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat or fish are allowed .to work a 10-hour day un der the Commission's cannery or der. A minimum age of 16 has been established for work in he pro cessing plants.

Associated Press Writer Freeman Holmer, Oregon elec tions supervisor, thinks the new state election law, passed by, the 1957 Legislature, was a big factor in speeding up the vote counting at the recent primary election. No body disagrees with him. He did the research for the law, so he is its father.: Known as "Big Bertha," it probably was the long est bill ever passed by any Legis lature. The fast counting of ballots re sulted largely from splitting of many precincts and providing for simpler forms and counting pro cedures. Holmer will meet in mid-June with the county clerks. They will decide whether to ask the 1959 Legislature to make further changes in the system. Holmer says one change already is in prospect. That is to provide simpler poll book sheets so that the county clerks would find it easier to total the vote in each county. Another post-election thought is that the gubernatorial campaign between Gov. Robert D. Holmes and Secretary of State Mark Hat field should be a hot one, as both 'are good speakers and vigorous campaigners. - Some of the campaign will be waged at meetings of the Board of Control, which runs state institu tions. Both are members, plus State Treasurer Sig Unander, whom Hatfield beat in the Republi can primary. Actually, Holmes and Hatfield are good friends. They like to needle each other in the political arena, but they like and respect each other. At board meetings, Holmes and Hatfield almost always are in agreement. Now that they are op ponents, each probably will try to make some political hay at meet ings of the board. USED CAMERA SALE USED CAMERAS $17,500 Won By Pedestrian A Marion County Circuit Court jury awarded $17,500 judgment Thursday for Injuries allegedly re ceived by a pedestrian when struck by a car at Woodburn on New Year's Eve of 1956.
