Ickes in a 2,000-word letter of resignation said of his testimony in opposition to the nomination of Pauley: "I cannot accept the'theory that I should have told the senate nav al affairs committee anything less than the truth. I hive no apolo gies for having done to, although I did regret the unhappy personal position in which I have involun tarily found myself." Pauley Assured Ickes told the committee that Pauley had advanced the "raw est proposition ever made to me" by suggesting that $300,000 could be gained in campaign ooninou lions from California oil men if the government would drop Its suit to establish federal title to oil-bearing tidewater lands. This Pauley denied, saying Ickes was mistaken. The Presi dent, too, told a press conference that Icnes couia oe wrong, ana this provided the springboard for the 71-year-old secretary's resig nation. Ickes wrote that some of Mr. Truman's friends "resent keenly the fact" that "I told the truth," then added: 'As to your statement that I might have been mistaken in my testimony my feeling is that, since you were not present at the hear ing and presumably had not read the record, it was not proper for you, even although you be the President of the United States, to pass judgment on a question of veracity between Mr. Pauley and myself. After all, I am a member of your cabinet at your own re quest and I do not have a repu tation for dealing recklessly with the truth." Ickes, appointed by the late President Roosevelt to his original cabinet In 1833, has been secre tary of interior longer than any other man. He is 71. The only Roosevelt appointees now remain ing in the cabinet are Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace and Secretary of Navy James For restal.

McClain, .McArthur as sumed the position as general superintendent and secretary up on his death in 1932. . McArthur's 55-year-old succes sor graduated in mechanical en gineering at Oregon State college in 1914, remaining in Corvallis for a year in the experimental en gineering laboratory. In 1915 he went to Carnegie Tech for a year of advanced work in his field. From 1916 to 1918 he was a test engineer in the steam power plant of the Duquesne Light company in Pittsburgh. Following a brief stretch in the U. S. navy, during which time he attended the steam school, Boals became a master mechanic for the Worcester, Mass., Gas-Light com pany. Twelve months later he re turned to the west coast, where he was an assistant professor in the mechanical engineering de partment at Oregon State college from 1919 to 1929, except lor an other year at Duquesn in 1928 24. He then went to Falrbury, Nebr., where he became light and water commissioner and city en gineer for the community of 8000. In 1938 the registered profes sional engineer and member of the American Society of Mechan ical Engineers came to Eugene to begin his rise to the position he now holds as manager of city light and water.' : 4 .

As the labor picture brighten ed somewhat by the end of the transit and power workers walk outs, news from Detroit in the General Motors strike was not cheerful.

That the militarists, including Peron and the present president, Gen. Edeimiro Farrell, assisted in a pro-axis policy during the war. 2. That they conspired to cre ate a totalitarian state in the western hemisphere and tried to provoke fascist revolutions in Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. 3.

Bremer assures his friends that he finds himself still alive. Wafer-- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) 194S. This represents real con sumption increase, as rates have never been raised. Further indication of the growth can be seen, McArthur has an nounced, in a 33 per cent Increase In the peak load kilowatt demand during the past 12 months - Rebuilding of the Walterville power plant, doubling the capac ity of the Leaburg unit on the McKenzie, building of two addi tional water reservoirs in Eu gene and redevelopment of both the power and water grids for. the city are a few of the planned pro jects. Both McArthur and Boals see no end in sight for the current boom. Just how swiftly the "five-year-program" can be pushed along de pends on material and labor avail ability. To Rebuild Plant . A half million dollars will go into the rebuilding of the original electrical power plant at Walter ville, expected to be well under way by the close of 1948. Offi cials expect to Increase its pres ent capacity from 3000 to 6000 kilowatts.' Reconstruction of the plant, built In 1910, will be effect ed without shutting down the plsnt. On complete new build ing will be necessary and the fin ished project will be at a slightly different location. Duplication of the present power unit at Leaburg will be facilitated by originally-planned buildings, pen stock and canal, already In place. The 7000 kilowatt present capacity at Leaburg will be dou bled with the installation of the new generator and water wheel. With the present flow of the river the maximum power output from a unit twice as strong as that htfw In place would be possible for an approximate eight months of the year. Regulation by the proposed dams on the upper Mc Kenzie would make full produc tion possible throughout the year. A total of $32,800 ' has been budgeted for expenditure at the steam plant to boost boilers, gen erators and electrical apparatus to a higher capacity and efficiency. Improvements in transmission lines in connection with the Wal terville development are budgeted at $45,000. Rebuilding of the transmission line between Walter' ville and Leaburg will cost an other $5000. Capital Additions Fixed capital additions to the electrical distribution system have been budgeted to the extent of $162,700 for this year. This will include completion of a partially built substation and installation of another one, as well as pay ment of $50,000 for distribution transformers, poles and wire. An outlay of $3500 for a machine for digging holes for power poles is also planned. The overall electric system now serving. Eugene will eventually be completely rebuilt. Plans in elude its change from a three-line to a four-line system. The same transformers will be supplement ed with others and the additional wire will more than double the carrying capacity of the grid. Dif ficulty in obtaining transformers and wire, as well as experienced engineers and linemen, threaten further delay, but the city hopes to have the development well along by the first of 1947. McArthur and Boals estimate that $910,000 of the $1,533,271.35 electrical budget will come from current revenues. The difference of $623,271.35 will be taken from the depreciation reserve. Plans and specifications are now near completion for two new water reservoirs in the Fairmount district. The low-level Chula Vista project holding six million gallons will cost approximately $150,000. The other, costing an estimated $45,000, will have a ca pacity of 750,000 gallons for higher levels of the city. Delivery may be expected soon, McArthur and Boals feel on $100, 000 worth of cast iron water pipe and miscellaneous fittings ancVf valves costing more than $9000. With 10,000 feet of water pipe on hand, this represents a total of $141,000 worth of materials alone, not Including labor costs, which will go into the water main sys tem as 'soon as possible. eventual expansion of the larger PA Do You Know InHeUee of plnpla, eitmtlly mt4,m be aatckly relieved end heellns ildcd by dtily ate of RESINOLomTMBNT Introducing MR.
