af 4A fUghfor-Guard. Eugene. Ore., Sun.. Aug. 21, 1949 This Years Chest Uoal . Nearly Same as Last Year Coal of the Lane County Chest appeal for operation of its 28 agencies in 1930 has been set at $134,958.95, almost exactly the same as last year's goal of $135, 001, Calvin R. Smith, Chest pres ident, has announced. ' Campaign dates have been step ped up this year, Smith said, with the intensive period of the ap peal scheduled between Sept. 19 and Oct. 1. Budgets of the 28 agencies which make up the major part of the Chest goal are substantially the same as last year, the presi dent reported. The budget for the Boy Scouts has been increased slightly as age limits set for Scout ing have been dropped by one year. This will make the pro gram available to a much larger group of boys. t The sum allocated to the Springfield Chest agencies has been reduced at the request of the Springfield Community Chest. The board of directors signified last week, however, that they Would be agreeable to a future request from Springfield for op erational expenses on the new community center when the new building is completed and the project is under way. Breakdown of the budget shows $78,343.60 allocated to agencies and expenses in the city of Eu gene, while $32,486.38 is budgeted tor the same purposes in Lane County outside Eugene. Oregon Chest agencies have been bud geted at $23,129. i Statewide agencies, a portion of whose budgets are carried by the Lane County Chest through the Oregon Chest are Albertina Kerr Homes, Boyi' and Girls' Aid So ciety, Catholic Charities, Child ren's Bureau. Children's Farm Home, Christie Home for Girls, Mental Health Assn. of Oregon Oregon Prison Assn:, Our Lady of Providence Nursery, St. Mary's Home for Boys, St. Rose Indus. trial School, Salvation Army White Shield Home, Volunteer of America's Mothers' and .Child- No More U.S. Library Awards WASHINGTON (IP) The Library of Congress is cancelling all plans for giving prizes and awards because Congress didn't like the selection of Ezra Pound for a poetry prize in 1948. Pound was accused of treason after he broadcast for the Italians during the war. The Pisan Cantos, for which he got tne prize, were written While he was held in an American prison of war camp. Now he is a patient in St. Eliza beth's Mental Hospital here. Loud protests arose after he was selected for the prize last spring by 14 men and women oi letters who form the "Committee of the Fellows of the Library of Congress." 'They gave him the Bollengen Foundation prize for "The highest achievement of American poetry in 1948." The Pound award came up at a meeting of the Senate-House li brary committee Friday. After ward, Senator Green (D-RI), the chairman said: ren's Home, Waverly Baby Home, YMCA and YWCA.

U.R)An expedition set out to hunt for pi rate gold Saturday in a swampy and desolate region of southeast Texas along the Gulf of Mexico. The Krigar and Beane Explora tion Co., a name which lent a 20th century air to the search, hoped to find a ship scuttled in 1821 by the pirate, Jean Lafitte. Ship was Scuttled B. J. Krigar, one of the lead ers of the expedition, said the ship "Pride" was scuttled by Lafitte after running aground on a bar in -Lake Miller in Chambers County. At the time, U. S. Navy ships were closely pursuing La fitte's 75-foot -craft. The searchers hope to discover golden doubloons- from Spanish vessels on which Lafitte preyed in the early 19th century. Preliminary work was to be de voted to clearing vegetation over the ship, believed buried in nine feet of silt in swamps near the now landlocked lake. Work Starts Monday Actual moving of earth will begin Monday. Mud pumps will be used. Making up the expedition were Krigar and his Houston, Tex., business partner, Leo T. Beane. Jr., and E. H. Sherman and C. H. Clark," both of Wallisville, near Lake Afiller. The location of the Pride has been a closely guarded secret in Sherman's family for more than a century. It was revealed Thurs day after the Texas land com missioner granted a search permit to. Krigar.. If any gold is discovered, the state's permanent, school fluid will claim 25 per cent under terms of the permit. ELLIOTTS ARE BACK At the Washaterla, 2470 Alder. Drop in and see us.

Water Heating Reductions Due (Continued rom Page One) 'Revolt Russia Tells Yugoslavs . (Continued rom Page One) jected an earlier Yugoslav charge that the Cominform resolution "excommunicating'' '.' Tito ' was "criminal." Moscow said that "only two governments in Europe re gard the resolution as a criminal leaflet. They are the Greek "and the Spanish. "Plainly, the declarations of the Yugoslav government are worth no more than similar declarations once made by Hit ler, and Mussolini." The note made no. mention--of Tito's recent statement that Yugo slavia has an army of 500.000 men ready to fight any aggres sor, including Russia. The note urged Cominform fol lowers to "compel their present leaders to admit their "mistakes openly and honestly -and to cor rect, them ... or, if the present leaders of the Communist party in Yugoslavia are incapable of doing this, to remove them and put forward a new-Internationalist Party Leadership of Yugo slavia."' ' "In all Marxist parties where there is internal party democracy, such a method of changing the leadership is natural and entire ly normal." the broadcast said. Western political observers commented that any , 'auch change In modern Yugoslavia would almost certainly require the use of fore1. Saturday's note wa the latest of a series of bitter exchanges be-: tween Russia and Yugoslavia! growing out of the "excommuni cation" of Tito by the Cominform I little more than a year age j The Russian document replied to a Yugoslav note of July 30. which in turn replied to a Soviet; note of July 25 accusing Tito's, regime of beating, torturing and unlawfully arresting Russians in I Yugoslavia. Saturday's note rejected the Yugoslav document as "internally false and politically groundless." The broadcast said that the new note was delivered to Belgrade two days ago. U. S. Watches Tito. WASHINGTON (U.R Gov ernment quarters predicted Sat urday that Marshal Tito will re ply in kind to Russians "toughest ever" note and probably will gain strength because of the Soviet threat. - American officials were confi dent that Tito could put down any disturbances that result from the Soviet call for a virtual revolution. trie Board will rely upon elec tronic control in making all new off-peak service installations. Spe cial switch mechanisms in the meters to which hot water heat ers are wired will be turned off and on as necessary by means of a high frequency Impulse transmitted from the main power plant control room over the reg ular power distribution lines. Will Replace Switches This control plan offers an ad ditional advantage to customers. Instead of having their service in terrupted every day during pe riods for which time clocks might be set, their water heaters will be disconnected only when actu ally necessary to prevent system overloading during peak use pe riods. Eventually the time switch es now in use will be replaced with the electronic controls. The problem of meeting peak demands is serious in the opera tion of any electric system. Last winter, for instance, there were several days when for an hour or so the total demand on the EWEB system was "37,500 kilo watts. On these same days, how ever, the average demand on the system was less than 20,000 kilo watts. Any plan providing for reduc tion of system peaks means sub stantial savings to an electric util ity system by lessening the need for capital investments made merely, to give it "peaking ca pacity." Thus, to balance the demand more evenly, the utility system Is willing to make special rate reductions and Is financially compensated by the resulting In creased sale of off-peak en ergy. But what of he customers? Is off-peak service really a bar gain? - . The EWEB proposition for off peak water heating . guarantees that service will be provided at least 18 hours each day. Properly designed and insulated hot wa ter heaters are seldom in opera tionunder average home con ditionsmore than 5 or 6 hours each day. - For most residential - electric customers, the off-peak water heating arrangement holds slight chance of inconvenience. This is borne out by the fact that more than 2000 homes subscribed for this more economical service be fore 1942.' Now, the water and electrlo board believes, there are ap proximately 6000 additional homes in Eugene using elec tricity to heat water, but pay ing .for the energy at regular rates. Anticipating that a number of these customers, as well as new customers will want off-peak water heating service, the board has written to all electric hot water heater dealers explaining regulations under which such service can be furnished. Inspections Are Necessary To deal directly with the elec tric customers, the board had special application blanks printed. These may be filled out at the EWEB offices in ,-the city hall. But before applications are ac cepted, inspections will need to be made by the EWEB to see that the hot wnter heaters are factory produced, properly insulated and' equipped with thermostatic safety controls, and that the heating ele ments are not of greater size than provided in the following schedule: Tank Capacity Lower-Upper (gallons) I'nite (watts) 30 i 750 1500 40 1000 1500 50 or 52 1250 2000 60 or 66 1500 2500 80 or 86 2000 3000 1Q0 or 110 2000 4000 140 - .2000 4000 The limitations on tank heating elements are Drovided as condi tions of the of'-Deak bargain tol i ii irtinrr, ...... ; . piUlCUfe lilt agdljl&l Hpmanri surer that mipht result on a Monday morning, for in-1 stance, n mere were a numrjer of heaters in the city with over sized elements, immediately after Eugene's housewives finished their Monday washings, all of these heaters could be expected to switch on to replace the hot' water used for the washings. The' demand peak would then put an' abnormal strain on the city elec tric system. By offering a bargain rate to those customers who use normal hot water heating arrangements, the EWEB hopes to minimize such peak demandr. 90 Gallons a Day - In its letter to the appliance dealers, the EWEB notes that the average family uses approximate ly 90 gallons of hot water a day. This quantity can be supplied by heaters with adequate tank storage capacity as easily as by those requiring larger elements to heat smaller quantities repeated ly. In fact, the letter to the deal ers states, "to heat water 'as you need it' is impractical. Storage is the key to satisfactory service." Customers signing for the off peak service also will need to bear the cost of any rewiring re quired in their homes to connect their water heaters with separate electric meters. They are advised first to have their water heaters inspected by the EWEB. Compe tent EWEB crews will do all out side wiring necessary and place the new meters or install the elec tronic controls in present meters without charge. The water and electric board has $30,000 invested in the equip ment through which the off-peak hot water heaters will be con trolled. The board expects that the cost of processing applications and making inspections and meter- changes will total almost that much again.
