Establish ment by the Federal Government pt a management approach to the programming, timing and financ ing o an expanded development of hydroelectric power in the Northwest, was advocated here "Wednesday "not as a gift from Uncle Sam, but as a basic tool to Ihe free enterprise system." i Dr. Paul J.

This program is not a gift from Uncle Sam. It is fallacious to consider the development of this energy base only as a local matter for local prosperity. It is a great na tional asset. It represents the basic tools for creating new opportuni ties for new people to make a live lihood in new ways in a new part of our country. These tools are basic to the free enterprise sys tern."

Dr. Raver said. "This banking job is one important reason for the Fed eral Government's appearance in the picture and presents at the same time one of the current prob lems facing the Northwest in se curing an orderly development upon which private business can depend. That problem is one of financing." SI C-O-O-L!

Leader in Education Since the founding of the United Nations Organization in 1945, Judge Bosone has been a leader in the field of public education on world affairs. She was selected to speak on ABC's Town Meeting program here because of her knowledge of the Unitdd Nations Organization and the problems It faces in maintaining international peace. In addition to active public ser vice career, Judge Bosone, who is a widow, has put her daughter, now 22, through college. Two additional speakers for the program will be announced this week, the sponsoring council re ported Wednesday. Free Tickets Free tickets to the broadcast may be had at most downtown business houses, or by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to The Eugene Council on World Affairs, 27 E. Broadway. Glenn Gregory, acting chairman of the council, reported that most of the necessary funds for bring ing the broadcast to Eugene had been .raised, and said that the pro gram has been made possible by hundreds of contributions from housewives, businessmen, indivi duals and organizations who wanted to help bring Eugene's message for peace to the public's attention. Clay to Report Berlin Crisis (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) the Berlin crisis can be settled before It reached the point of open fighting. They do not, however, dis guise their concern that It might lead to war. Their determination is that if there is to be shooting the blame must rest upon Russia and not upon the western powers. As one informant put it: ''If the Russians want a war at this time they can get it, but they will have to bring it about themselves."

One of the dangers which top Washington officials hope to avoid aa the developments of the next few weeks unfold is a growth of hysttrria in the West over the possibility of an open conflict with Russia. These authorities declare that the United States must reject two extremes of action appeasement on one hand and excessive bellig erence on the other. Both President Truman and Sec retary of State Marshall have re peatedly called in the past for the American people to keep cool. 4 WAA 5tarts Dissolution WASHINGTON OP) The biggest bargain counter in the country is preparing to close up shop and go out of business. It is the War Assets Adminislra lion, which has sold, leased and given away surplus war property originally civting the government $23,000,000,000. It still has $5,400,- 000,000 worth of odds and ends to get rid of. Congress has decreed that WAA shall be abolished next Feb, 28. So Wednesday administrator Jess Larson told his regional directors to clear their shelves and get their books in order. Since WAA was established shortly after the war ended, it has done a land office business in war factories, jeeps, blankets, flash lights, life rafts, air fields and practically any commodity imaginable.

The tree nurseries would need 50 or 60 years to plant all that area, if they continue turning out 20,000,000 little trees a year. If the nurseries are expanded to their potential capacity, however, it would lake only 18 or 20 years.
