Accuses Power Enemies ntha False Dam Fads HI-- iL Army ene"1' because of a liin the area. """t $202,000,000. jf'here the dam By Charles D. Watklni ColumDia Kiver, ea miles below Grand Coulee Dam, is not true," Cain told a reporter. "The Army engineers are the greatest authorities in the nation on dam construction and they have assured me the site of Chief Joseph Dam is satisfactory and will produce almost as much pow er as Grand Coulee is producing now." Cain said he has received many letters expressing disappointment the President did not include more money in his budget for the dam. Shock It was allotted $5,000,000 and Cain said the amount "was a shock" as the region had been led to believe a much larger amount would be given the project. He said he intended to appeal to House and Senate appropria tions committees to increase the funds. "The report that a fault exists in the region is being spread by enemies of public power projects, some of whom appear to be in federal bureaus," Cain continued. When hearings were held on the proposal to authorize the dam there was intimation that (he rec lamation bureau wished to con struct the project but Cain said that the engineers and the bureau are working together to promote projects in the Columbia Basin and "are doing a good job." He said he hoped plans can be: worked out so that Chief Joseph! if 1 Dam can be used to irrigate land 1 Zl IfCi fl V fOUC in its vlrinitv In artriitinn tn nm. wvu ' V TT J ducing power. program yeHit ... jil.

Our Democratic forms involve a time lag which makes govern ment impossible and therefore circumstances will force us to adopt a Soviet system," Shaw told reporters. "It is useless to go on ignoring the patent fact that Stalin is ob viously the ablest statesman in Europe." The aged playwright tossed out those observations when advised of news from Russia that he is "lonely and forgotten' In England because of his sympathy for Communism. Alaska Site WASHINGTON (O.R) Assist ant Secretary of Interior William E. Warne said Wednesday that the Aluminum Corp. of America is considering building a plant in' Southeastern Alaska. "I know that Alcoa has had under consideration a develop ment in Southeastern Alaska of major proportions," Warne said. He made the disclosure in ans wer to a question before the Sen ate Interior Committee which also heard Warne and James P. Davis, director of territories, urge speedy statehood for Alaska. Chairman Joseph O'Mahoney asked Warne if Alcoa was con sidering the expansion because of Alaskan aluminum deposits or be cause of the potentialities of cheap power in the territory. Warne said power was the sole consideration. He said a power plant would be necessary to th operation. GOP Platform . Meet Disliked j ' ! WASHINGTON WVCongres- ' sinnnl T?pniihlfinn tnmirf thumhs down Wednesday on the idea of a national conference to draft a GOP platform for the 1950 elec- tions. A decision on whether to hold ' such a meeting was checked to a 1 14-member strategy group at the party s national committee meet ing in Omaha, Neb., last week. But even before the four Sen ate and House members of the group have been chosen, law makers said they don't think the Republicans in Congress want any part of the policy conference. The idea was first suggested by Hugh D. Scott, Jr., national chairman. Senator Bridges of New Hamp shire told a reporter he thinks a majority of GOP Senate and House members arc against such a conference. Republicans arranging some 600 Lincoln Day dinners next week are expectantly waiting to hear what Gov. Thomas E. Dewey has to say about the party"s future at the Washington dinner Feb. S. This affair will be the first of the week-long series for which some 50 senators and representa tives will take time off to attend Irom here to the Pacific Coast and in the South. The Republican national com mittee is lining up speakers on re quest of local GDP erouns. Some of those picked so far and the dates and places: Feb. 10 Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin, at Yakima, Wash. lea. ii benator McCarthy at Tacoma, Wash. Feb. 12 Senator McCarthy at Seattle; Senator Cain of Wash., at Winston baiem, IV. u. . Senator McCarthy will also speak at Everett, Wash., on the ! 14th. KTS M M BUY HIS VALENTINE GIFT HERE! COLORFUL SHIRTS AND TIES FOR HIM! Yugoslavia Hits Moscow Action BELGRADE, Yugoslavia UFt Yugoslavia showed annoyance Wednesday at Moscow's failure to Include her in the new Russian led Economic Council of Mutual Aid (ECMA). Foreign Minister Edvard Kar delj said in a statement Yugo. slavia could cooperate with the Soviet Union and the other na tions of ECMA in an economic al liance if those countries would end their damaging campaign against the Yugoslavs. But if the Soviet Union wants Yunslavia in the bloc, it must drop all charges of non-cooperation and treat her as an equal, not a satellite, the state Indicated. Failure to invite Yugoslavia into the ECMA consultations was an other violation ot treaty obliga. tions, the statement said. Kardelj said he noted with pleasure that the conclusions ac cepted at the Moscow consulta tions included a paragraph offer ing equal rights to all states com posing the council. It has been just this stand that has caused Premier Marshal Tito to defy Sov iet demands and subsequently be expelled from the Communist International Information Bureau (Cominform) for his allegedly na tionalistic views. - ' AFL Plans Publicity Bid MIAMI, Fla.-(U.R) Newspaper, radio and motion pictures will be used by the American Federation of Labor to promote its organiza tional and political aims. The AFL executive council, now meeting here, will fork out details of the broad program aimed at he general public as well as AFL membership. President William Green said publication of a week ly newspaper will begin soon, with circulation of 1,000,000 at the start. Later, he said, the league for political education will sponsor five-day-a-week broadcasts over a national network, and produce motion pictures for union halls. The league Is well on its way to ward a $750,000 goal, Green said. A chief target of the drive will be state laws forbidding closed or union shop contracts. Green said state campaigns will be made to eliminate legislators who fail to support repeal legislation. Some 75 per cent of labor "will be freed" by the assured repeal ot the federal Taft-Hartley Law, Green told the council, but the remainder will continue to be af ! fected by state laws deemed antl- labor.

Johnson of the Alaska Railroad told a Senate committee that a "lady section gang" work ing for him at Cantwell, Alaska, was the best he had and that he wished he had more like them. He said they were native women. iArrvr.RTisrMrKT) H.y SKINNY!
