Newspaper Page TextHouse Kindly To BPA Funds Lion's Share Goes To Western Oregon By FRANK W. VAILLE WASHINGTON (P) The House Appropriations Committee used a light touch Friday on the Department of Interior's proposed Pacific Northwest program for the 12 months beginning July 1. The report approved by the committee recommended appro priations totaling $94,527,400 for various power and reclamation programs in Oregon and Wash ington. BONNEVILLE Power Adminis tration was cut back from $70, 286,400 to $66,523,400 in its re quest for construction funds, and was given the full $6,600,000 It asked for operation and mainten ance. The Bureau of Reclamation es caped unscathed on its project re quests in the two states. The committee approved the full 20 million sought for the Co lumbia Basin, $106,000 asked for the Ynkima-Hoza project, and $308,000 for the Klamath develop ment in Oregon. THE COLUMBIA Basin appro priation includes $225,000 to carry on feasibility studies in connec tion with proposed construction of a third powerhouse at Grand Cou lee Dam. Most of the 3Vi million dollar Bonneville cut resulted from elim ination of proposed interconnec tions with other power systems. For the second year in a row, the committee rejected proposals for a La Grande-Baker, Ore., transmis sion line to tie-in with the Idaho Power Co. That eliminated $1,173, 000. ANOTHER $90,000 was slashed with the rejection, for the third successive year, of the proposed intertio at Klamath Falls, Ore., between Bonneville and the Cen tral .Valloy, Calif., reclamation project system. House Tax Investigators Threaten Perjury Action By B. L.

MALONEY IS a former special assistant to the attorney general. He left the government post in 1946 and has since been in private practice. At the, present tax scan dal hearings he has been acting as counsel for Grunewald. In the committee hearing, Rep. Kean (R-NJ) accused Maloney of making perjured statements at a closed meeting of the committee. He said he referred to Maloney's denials that he ever borrowed any money from Grunewald. In public testimony, Maloney Dozers in Battle To Free Livestock SAN FRANCISCO (P) Army .hniiHnTpri Fridav went to the res cue of 600,000 head of starving livestock in North and central Nevada.

Nev.. opened a 35-mile long lane through snow to 2,000 marooned residents in Mono County, East-Central Calif ornia. Residents were low on luei but had food. I N NORTHERN California, highway plows bit into snowdrifts which closed the two major high ways over the mountains to Nev ada U. S. 40 and 50 Tuesday. Their reopening was expected shortly. , The lion's share of the Bonne ville Power Administration's 1952 budget has been earmarked for projects in western Oregon. ' Specific Information on the lim ited budget cuts made by the House Appropriations Committee had not reached Eugene Friday, BPA area headquarters here re ported. However, it appeared from press wire reports that approxl mately $31 million has been left In the budget proposal for use in this region or on projects to In " crease power transmission into the ' western section of Oregon. Fans to Spend Day in Cooler Two Cleveland High School students were scheduled to spend ; Friday in Eugene's city jail aft er being arrested at 3:15 a. m. on charges of being drunk In an auto. Taken into municipal court at 8:30, tho boys were sentenced by .Judge John L.

Judge Barber directed, how ever, that the boys bo released about 7 p. m., In time to make It , to McArthur Court to see their team in a quarter-final tourna- mcnt game. Donald Gene Bresse, 18, and Dcrald Raymond Thornton, 17, told the arresting officer that they had been to a party In a Glen- , wood motel before they were taken into custody. Tho car In which they were stopped at 10th and Pearl Sts. was driven by an other youth whom the officer -found had not been drinking. Girl Students Counter-raid Men's Dorms anm innnn. Mich. (VP) Spring came bustin' out all over the usually staid University of Michigan campus Thursday night. It took a near-riotous iorm. Bands of youths' raided women's dormitories and the women raided back. Assessing the damages Friday, university authorities found some broken windows and smashed doors. They blamed a spontaneous outbreak of spring fever. At tls peak an estimated 2,500 students were Involved. The fun started with bands of men students invading the wom en's dorms, scattering undercloth ing about. The women formed counter-raids and city police were called. , A force of 10 officers respond ed but by that time the mob had split up into smaller groups which climbed on dormitory .roofs, threw mud at fraternity and sorority houses and rocked the cars of po lice who tried to restore order. The seven hours of revelry sim mered down around 1:30 a.m. when spirits were dampened by a light drizzle and a fire hose was truend on the last band of ma rauders by residents of one of tho women's dormitories. In the Rockies two snowstorms disrupted ground and air travel and left Denver streets almost im passable. The storm belt extended some 150 miles from Cheyenne, wyo., to Colorado -Springs. The biggest crisis was in Nevada where Gov. Charles Russell de clared a state of emergency to qualify for federal assistance. Promptly 20 Army bulldozers were ordered sent to help save an esti mated $18,000,000 worth of imper iled cattle and sheep. The first success was scored Thursday by an Idaho State De partment plow. It opened a road for the feeding of 4000 head of cattle in the Owyhee Indian Reservation in Nevada's northern Elko County. Behind the plow came loo tons of hay in six trucks. While the bulldozers from Ok- den went to work, the Fourth Air Force at Hamilton Field, north of ban Francisco, put its planes on a standby basis. They are prepared to drop feed, emulating the hay- lift" of 1949, if need be. , MOST of the menaced cattle are in Elko County, where ranch roads have been snow-blocked more than two months. Most of the 2000 persons who had been Isolated by California's Mono County were north and south of the town of Leevining. Thursday Navy bulldozers cut a road from Hawthorne to a point just north of Leevining, a distance of 53 miles. The road connects with Highway 95, open north and south in Nevada. . The Seabees expected to get through Friday to June Lake where 125 persons were stranded at a lodge with, fuel scanty but food plentiful. The afflicted area is 180 miles east of San Fran cisco. , Plane Missing In Washington SKATTLK (U.R All- Force nnd civilinn plnnrs renewed their soni'ch Kriclny for a light plnne piloted by h Wnlla Walln archi tect who vanished on a flight from Seattle to his homo Wednesday, Stanley G, Pane, about 42, dis appeared in his six-place maroon and yellow Hellanea plane while on the last leu of a return trip from Vancouver, H, C.

He said, however, that he had 'absolutely no recollection" of ever receiving $5,000 in loans from Grunewald, between 1944 when Maloney was a federal offucal and 1948. The committee produced a let ter, addressed to Grunewald's tax accountant and signed by Ma loney, which said that $5000 of Grunewald's 1948 income repre sented repayment of a loan to Maloney. I Maloney also testified he had "absolutely no recollection" of ever representing Grunewald while he Maloney was with the Justice Department. The committee then produced a report by special treasury agents which said Maloney's interceded in Grunewald's behalf, during a blackmarket whiskey investiga tion in 1943-44. MALONEY said that was nine years ago, but conceded if the re port was made It might have happened. 'Do you recall talking to Mr. Grunewald or Charlie Burke (Grunewald's chauffeur) about black market whiskey?" he was asked. "No," replied Maloney. Bridges' name was brought In with testimony from Maloney that he asked the senator as a "friend" to make inquiries at the Internal Revenue Bureau about a tax case. The investigators developed last fall that both Bridges and Grune wald made inquiries at the Inter nal Revenue Bureau three years ago about the tax troubles of Hy- man Harvey Klein, Baltimore wholesale liquor dealer and importer. The government had placed a five-miliion-dollar jeopardy tax assessment against Klein. The case still is pending. Maloney testified that his own interest and that of Bridges in the case was strictly a matter of friendship. ANOTHER U.S. Senator, Owen Brewster (R-Me) popped dra matically into hearings on Grune wald's tax affairs Thursday. In a voluntary committee ap pearance, Sen. Brewster acknowl edged he used Grunewald in 1950 to funnel $10,000 into the Repub lican primary campaigns of Sens. Nixon of California and Young of North Dakota. At the time, Brewster was chair man of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. It was "against the rules" for the committee to take sides in a primary, Brewster conceded, but he did so anyway through Grune wald, Union Pacific Porter Shot by Passenger NEW YORK STOCKS SELECTED LIST nOW JONES CLOSING AVERAGES! mi lnmiMruis ztw.nz up .29. 20 Hails 90.04 of .15. 1 UllllUci 50.37 up .32 Volume 1,390,000 NYSK SKI,ECTEI l.ISTl LIMON, Colo.

Jewing oy Forgery Brings 6-Year Term I WaynB Hodges, 31, of Shawnee, ,Okla refused services of an at torney, waived time to plead and be sentenced and was given six years In the penitentiary after pleading guilty to a charge of foriiery. His record disclosed he has pre viously been sentenced to one to ten years In San Quentin for car theft. Also in circuit court, Charles Randall Pruitt was placed on three years' probation atter plead ing guilty to a charge of forgery. It was Pmitt's first offense, he has no previous record. He said Moore "kept ringing all the time for me to come back and give him service. I treated him real nice." Ervin, hospitalized in Denver said Moore rang for him just as the train pulled into Limon Thursday, "HE WAS all covered by the blanket," Ervin said. "That's why when I heard a noise I thought it was a toy noise maker. I never felt any pain I guess I was shot by then." At that point, Ervin said, Moore took his hand out from under the blanket and pointed the pistol at him. "He shot three more times be fore I could get away. I could feel those bullets all right. I guess I'm lucky he didn't shoot a little higher. . . . I'd be dead now." Town Marshal George Mariner was summoned immediately. "The guy was sitting there with his gun In his hand," Mariner said. "I told him to drop It he was sitting there half naked and looked dazed. "I ASKED him three times to drop it and he just kept mumbling. All of a sudden he lift ed the gun and pointed It at me. I didn't wait to see if he would fire. I shot first at his leg. Moore, however, said from his Denver hospital bed that he fired after he felt someone trying to get his wallet while he napped In his berth on the train. "I was lying in my bunk when I heard a guy fumbling around outside my bunk," he told Sher iff Merlin H. Koerner. "I was mad. I hnd about $100 to $200 in my wallet." MOORE SAID he got his gun lout of a suitcase. He said he fired low on purpose. "I knew I hit him," Moore said. "I heard people telling me to drop the gun, but I was so mad that I didn't pay any attention to them." He said he was on a trip to visit his brother in Englcwood, Colo. Ervin and conductor Frank Wolfe told Mariner that Moore had been drinking before the shooting.
