Pag I .Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore,, Tuea., July 13, WQrYCY Toft Get Together Water Board Decides to Build Oil Storage Tank at Eighth Ave. The Eugene Water Board, antic inating a greater demand for gen eration of power for sale to other communities this winter, Monday night decided to build a 8000 bar rel oil storage tank at its Eighth Ave. steam plant Cooperating in the Northwest Dower pool, the water board will generate power for theoretical sale to other cities during the winter peak demand periods. This plan, followed last winter, too, actually means that the Eugene power sys tem foregoes delivery of Bonne ville power and uses the output of its own oil-f ired steam generators. However, the difference between the cost of oil-produced electricity Insurance LIFE ANNUITIES AUTO FIRE BURGLARY BONDS "In Business for Your Protection" U.S. Nat'l Bank BIdg.

Superintendent Ray Boals re ported Tuesday that the power pool requests operation of the Eugene system steam generators at peak use periods because of the above-average efficiency of these units. Boals also stated that the plan works advantageously for Eugene in a financial way while It also gives other cities power sup plies they otherwise could not have. Other business at Monday night's meeting of the water board included general reaffirmation of the policy that water customers outside the city will be served through legally constituted water districts. However, the directors decided, when it is feasible to serve customers directly as along the main pipeline from Hayden Bridge judgment of the board's engineers will be relied upon to orovid. flexibility in this rule. The directors also decided to deny a request from the Kiwanis Club for use of a plot of land south of the Leaburg damsite. The Kiwanlans asked for permission to establish a youth camp on the property, but the board decided that protection of the public Inter est would not permit granting the petition. NEW YORK W) Gov.

Reuther of the CIO United Auto Workera angrily walked out on the Ford Motor Co. wage nego tiations Tuesday, 24 hours after he entered them. "All they're doing in there is fighting theoretical windmills," he told newsmen. "I'll come back when they get down to brass tacks, the practical aspects of the situa tion." ' Ford vice president John S Bugas retorted: "When Reuther talks of theoret ical windmills, he means we are not acceding to the union's full demands." The UAW-CIO is asking wage boosts and social security demands totalling an estimated 28 cents an hour. The current estimated 'aver age production wage is $1.52. The company has offered an 11 to 14 cent an hour wage increase for mula. Negotiations continued after Reuther walked out.

Civil Service Exams n for Positions and waved the "New Deal" banner proudly Monday night in a thun dering speech that lifted him close to the Democratic vice presidential nomination. The 70-year-old Democratic Senate leader was given a rousing 28-minute ovation at the end of his address keynotlng the party's national convention. It was the first big outburst of enthusiasm from the delegates. i "For the People" The Kentuckian said the Demo cratic party deserves victory this year because of Its 16-year record of "devotion to the people's wel fare." He was followed by Mrs. India Edwards, director of the party's women's division, who sounded a battle cry against high prices, and Miss Frances Perkins, former sec retary of labor, who called for a campaign "without mudslinging." Barkley somberly mentioned the possibility of war and the efforts of the Truman administration to prevent it. "We have nither peace nor war, ho cai4 "Th umlrl cHontlnn Vac reached a posture where intensity! of feeling and spontaneity of con duct might easily precipitate armed' conflict." , "Obstruction" He wanted to know if the na-' lion's fate could be entrusted safe-; ly to a party which, he said, has given "obstinate obstruction" to steps toward peace. There were cries of "pour it onl" as Barkley lit into the Republicans. The Republicans can jeer all they like at the "New Deal," he' said, but "the American people! will not willingly surrender the! great gains they have made under it." The New - Deal, Barkley said, brought recovery and prosperity ' to the nation with series of "some ; of the greatest programs ever in augurated by the American government." Republicans, he declared, con demn it with their mouths but en dorse it in their platforms. "Let us ask, he suggested, "and let the American people ask those who spray this forest of superb accomplishment with the froth of their vindictive lips, which tree will they cut down with their mighty ax or their puny hatchet?" Amid loud and frequent ap plause Barkley accused the Republican-controlled 80th Congress of trying to "sabotage" the 18 years of Democratic accomplish ment. By limiting funds, he said, it sought to cripple such programs as soil conservation and rural electrification, and to destroy the rights obtained by labor. He said the Republicans failed to attack the housing problem, surrendering instead to "the real estate lobby." controlling inflation or increasing the minimum wage from 40 to 70 cents an hour. All these measures "are a part of the flock of 'gone geese,' put to flight by the Republican Con gress which has just adjourned," the senator declared. The Kentuckian said the Re publican convention marked a re turn to political Influence by Joseph R. Grundy, former Repub lican senator and one-time head of the Pennsylvania Manufactur ers Assn. Grundy, Barkley said, "exer cised great Influence in, if he did not actually dominate" the selec tion of Rep. Hugh Scott of Penn sylvania as the new chairman of the Republican National Commit tee.
