The CIO claims much credit for
restoring Democrats to control oi
the House and Senate last Novem
ber. But the CIO is becoming
angry and impatient.
In a communication irom liu
headquarters last week there
were these hard words:
Bungling Charged
"Administration bungling of the
umrsk nrdor nlaved right into the
hands of the Taft-Hartley Repub
licans. A good many Democrats in
the Senate will have to be re
minded vigorously and often that
the nartv campaigned on a clear,
cut pledge to repeal the Taft
Hartley Act and to enact the
Wagner Act and that the party
won Its victory on that basis."
There probably Is no one in
Washington today who believes
the new labor legislation will
work out that simply or that way.
(In (ho contrary, the Senate is
likely to write and pass a bill for
which Sen. Robert A. rait i,k-u;
will cheerfully vote. Whether the
Hfiu.o will bo able to make the
final bill more pleasing to. Mr.
Truman and his labor followers
remains to be seen.

Norway Decides
To Join West
OSLO, Norway W) Norway
has decided to risk Russia's dis
pleasure and cast her lot with the
West by Joining the North Atlan
tic talks.
Despite Soviet warnings, the
dominant Labor Party has ap
proved the pro-Western foreign
policy of Foreign Minister Halvard
M. Langc,
The vote at a party meeting was
229 to 33, but the opposition Sun
day decided to make the vote
unanimous.
Parliamentary approval, which
still is necessary, is expected this
week. All part'es except the small
Communist representation are
backing Langc's policies.
Observers said it is only a ques
tion of time before Norway joined
the North Atlantic pact negotia
tions in progress in Washington.
They said the U.S. timetable prob
ably would be tho deciding factor
on when the Norwegians join.
Lange stressed the belief it is
necessary for Norway to turn to
the West for protection because he
believes the United Nations alone
Is not capable of ensuring peace.
Norway's leaders feel a regional
defense system offers more protec
tion for small nations. But they
rejected a Scandinavian pact with
Sweden and Denmark because
they believed that too could not
afford them the security they need
unless it were tied in with the
North Atlantic pact.
The projected North Atlantic
alliance would link the lefenses of
the United States, Canada, Britain,
France, Belgium, Holland and
Luxembourg.
The Norwegian Labor Party
action killed Swedish and Danish
hopes for a last-minute change in
the Norwegian attitude.
Bomb-maker
Goes to Court
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal. U.PJ
William J. Ward, who blew up the
home of nightclub owner Herman
D. Hover and planted three other
homemade bombs before his cap
ture by police, appears in Beverly
Hills police court Monday for ar
raignment on attempted murder
charges.
Police said the former boiler
maker and prospector admitted
setting the homemade bombs "to
get even" with California Indus
trial Accident officials who de
nied his compensation claims.
When arrested he had a list of
seven doctors and officials. Crude
bombs were found at four of the
homes. Ward said he mistakenly
blew up Hover's home because he
thought one of the doctors lived
there. ,
The 55-year-old diabetic led
police to a cache of dynamite and
partially finished bombs Saturday
near the Los Angeles River after a
frenzied search had failed to lo
cate 200 pounds of explosives he
was known to have purchased.

Hoover Commission Urges
State Department Changes
WASHINGTON W The
Hoover Commission Monday urged
a top-to-bottom overhauling of
the State Department to remove
"flaws" in the handling of the na
tion's foreign relations.
The commission laid down a list
of 22 recommendations in a re
port which said the reins over this
country's dealings abroad now
spread out all over the govern
ment should be concentrated
squarely In President Truman's
hands.
While some of the group's sug
gestions were directed to Congress,
most were aimed straight at the
State Department. That agency,
the commission declared, has fal
len to "low esteem" with law
makers, the press, the public and
many of Its own officials.
The main reason for this, the
report said, is the department's
postwar work overload.
The 12-man bipartisan Commis
sion oh Government Organization
is headed by former President
Herbert Hoover. As vice-chairman,
Secretary of State Acheson
helped draft the recommendations
for improving the department he
came to head.
Those proposals included:
1. Letting the department drop
such operating functions as handl
ing passport visas, munitions con
trol, aviation and shipping, so it
can concentrate on policy matters.
2. Providing the secretary with

CVA Leaguers
Pledge Action
PORTLAND ffl Columbia
Valley Authority League members
have pledged themselves to. an ac
tive campaign to acquaint the re
gion with objectives of the basin
development proposal.
Speakers told 250 delegates
from 10 farm and labor organiza
tions claiming 600,000 members
that they must raise funds to meet
the money which they said would
be spent to defeat the river con
trol plan.
Rep. Hugh B. Mitchell (D
Wash), reelected president of the
league Saturday, told the assem
bly that "CVA is an urgent and
practical necessity not a dream
of do-gooders." He said the plan
was "President Truman's fair deal
for the Columbia."
Governors Criticized
Mitchell, who wrote the origi
nal CVA bill of 1945, criticized
Republican governors of Oregon,
Idaho and Washington for oppos
ing the federal proposal. "These
foolish men do not realize that
creation of a CVA will lead to the
greatest period of prosperity the
Northwest has ever known."
The granddaughter of the late
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Mrs".
Van Seagraves of Portland, spoke
for the plan. She said the Colum
bia development was one of
"grandfather's dreams."
Fishing Controversy
Henry Niemela, representing the
CIO Fishermen's Union, raised
the only controversial issue at the
league day-long meeting. He In
sisted fishing Interests be given
full recognition In the over-all
planning. In reply to this E. M.
Weston, president of the Washing
ton State Federation of Labor,
said "we don't want the fishermen
to tell us that we can't go ahead
with the Industrial development
of the Northwest because it might
kill a few fish."
All executive board members
and vice-presidents were reelect
ed. John L. King, a Washington
stale granger and a regent of the
University of Washington, re
placed Mandel Nicder, Seattle, as
league treasurer.
Prompt action on the CVA pro
posal of President Truman was
predicted,

a larger lop-ievei staii to neiy
lift the "intolerable burden" he
and his undersecretary bear.
There shuold be two new deputy
undersecretaries, eight assistant
secretaries instead of six, and a
general reshuffling of functions,
the report said.
3. Building up a team of expert
negotiators to represent the Uni
ted States at international confer
ences an arrangement already
started with the appointment of
Philip C. Jessup as a special am
bassador. The top officials, the
commission said, "are needed in
Washington." v
4. Gradual merging of the
Foreign Service and regular State
Department establishment into a
single Foreign Affairs Service,
with all employes obligated to
serve either at home or overseas.
S. Giving such responsibility to
ambassadors and ministers abroad
that there could be no conflict
with other American representa
tives on the scene.
Along with these recommenda
tions, the group turned thumbs
down for the present on any move
to transfer the military govern
ments of Europe and Japan to
civilian control.
The commission submitted its
recommendations without any
estimate of possible immediate
savings, noting that postwar re
adjustments already have cut
down State Department personnel
by 26 percent.

one-quarter of a mile to a spot
cleared by snow plows and took a
bus to Portland. -
The last of the lodge's stranded
40 guests got out over the week
end by ski or sled, Temple said.
About 20-of' the resort's 40 em
ployes were kept on the payroll.
The rest were given free room
and board.
He estimated three days work
by a bulldozer and snow plow
would be needed to clear the last
1200 feet of road to the lodge, "if
we have luck with the weather."
Temple said there was plenty
of meat and frozen vegetables.
"We are out of lettuce, milk and
beer."
Hansel, the lodge's St. Bernard
dog, was lost a short time Sunday.
He strayed from a party of out

Eight Train
Cars Derailed
CHATSWORTH, Ga. (U.R)
Eight cars of the Louisville and
Nashville "Railroad's fast passen
ger train, the Flamingo, jumped
the tracks in rugged mountain
country about five miles south of
here Monday.
First reports said no one was
killed or injured.
Most of the passengers on the
Knoxville, Tenn., to Atlanta run
were sleeping when the diesel
powered train hit a broken rail
and plunged from the tracks.
W. A. West, L & N station agent
here, said a high bank alongside
the tracks at the point of the
wreck prevented what could have
been a major rail disaster. The
cars leaned against the cliff and
did not tourn all the way over,
West said.
The railroad was not even
blocked by the accident, West
said, because the wreck happened
at a spot where traffic can be
shunted around the debris on a
side track.
The train, due in Atlanta at 8:30
a.m., was barreling south through
the mountains just about on sche
dule when the rail gave away and
sent the cars catapulting from the
tracks.

Forecast Says
'New Storms'
PORTLAND (U.R) A warm
storm swept in from the Pacific
Monday as the weather bureau re
ported Western Oregon rivers had
crested and were receding.
Storm warnings went up on the
Oregon coast Sunday for south
east winds, 30 to 40 miles an hour.
Sporadic showers were forecast
for the region Monday.
The Willamette River reached
levels five feet above flood stage
at Corvallis, Albany and Salem
but damage was reported slight.
Other streams throughout Oregon
had spread and forced an esti
mated 1700 persons at scattered
spots to flee.
About 150 homes were stranded
near Lebanon, Tillamook, Philo
math and Southeast Portland.
At Oregon City the Willamette
lapped into the Crown Willamette
paper mill forcing it to suspend
operations. The tug boat Peter-W
was swirled against the Oregon
City-West Linn bridge, shattering
the pilot house and injuring the
cniei engineer, six crewmen were
unhurt.
The bulk of Oregon's flood mi
grants were in the vicinity. About
1000 were evacuated from flats
near Glenwood and the Eugene
Ferry Street bridge and were
housed on the county fairgrounds
and the University of Oregon cam
pus.
Snows continued In the moun
tains and kept marooned winter
sportsmen at Spout Springs. Tim
berline Lodge's guest population
managed to ski and toboggan over
the weekend.
Traffic Deaths
Drop to Low
Oregon traffic deaths dropped
iu a six-year low iasi montb as
accidents claimed 12 lives, the sec
retary .of state's office has report
ed.
This Is the lowest death toll
since 10 were killed fa February
of 1943, and marks the lowest
January toll since accurate rec
ords have been kept.
Last month's record was set
While road and wpathr
were extremely hazardous, It was

While Others UCPd ovtra tantinn

sunaces ana poor visibility.
All but one of the. January
fatalities took nlnr
cities and towns. Chief factors In
most of the death crashes, as re
vealed by the accident reports,
were icy roads and frosted wind
shields. Entering ice-coated curves
at too great a speed led to at least
three fatalities.

The dog hadn't been home since
he was let out for a walk six
