House 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.

Other bulldozers from the naval

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. ,

said he had been a friend of
Grunewald, mysterious figure in
Washington officialdom, for many
years.
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,

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.
