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.

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.

Search Started
For Pirate Gold
WALLISVILLE, Tex. 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.

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.

commented that any , 'auch

which in turn replied to a Soviet;

Saturday's note rejected the
Yugoslav document as "internally

The broadcast said that the new

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.
