COLUMBIA RIVER DIVERSIONS There has been a revival recently of discussion of the pro posal to divert Columbia river water and carry it to southern California. The idea was first advanced, we believe, by Assist ant secretary Warne 01 the department of the interior and preliminary studies are being made by the bureau of recla mation. As originally made the Warne proposal was for a diversion at some point below Bonneville. The fact, we suggest, is sig nificant. Warne did not propose simply the diversion of Columbia river water. Coupled with the diversion idea was an expression of where, as Warne saw it, the diversion should be undertaken. Why did this official select this section of the river as the point at which the diversion should bo made? It was because, without doubt, he as an official of the bureau of reclamation (he was an assistant commissioner of the bureau before becoming assistant secretary) was so well aware of the rules and the necessities of water use from Bonneville to the river's headwaters. The necessities include, of course, a flow in sufficient vol ume to keep all power generators in Columbia hydro plants turning at capacity. Such flow docs not occur today and that is one of the reasons why the Hungry Horse project is under construction so that its stored waters may be discharged in times of need "to firm up" down-stream plants, Grand Coulee in particular. The rules, on their part, include the obligation imposed on the bureau of reclamation to observe the laws of the states with respect to the appropriation of water. This is one of the fundamentals of the reclamation act of 1902 and Mr. Warne undoubtedly had the fact in mind when he proposed diversion at some point in a section of the river where, presumably, the states concerned (Oregon and Washington) would have no grounds for objection. Above Bonneville, to repeat, Warne knew that both power needs and state water rights would stand in the way of diver sion. We have seen nothing official regarding the $100,000 study the bureau of reclamation is now making of the Columbia diversion possibilities but we understand that it goes far be yond the original Warne idea and that there is even in con templation a suggestion of diversion from the Snake into the Colorado from which the canal over to Los Angeles would be used. This would bo at the expense of future irrigation devel opment in Idaho and, we believe, of power programs on the lower Snake. It is not likely that they will be sacrificed. It is equally unlikely that any other of the Columbia basin states will be willing to lose the benefits that are now theirs by reason of their rights to the waters of the Columbia. Secretary Warne knew these things when he proposed a diversion below Bonneville. , Incidentally, it occurs to us -that here is a good place to point out that given a Columbia valley authority and an effort to secure one will be made in the next congress these state water rights will be lost. Who then can rtponk up for the preservation of Columbia river waters Cor thuiColumbia river states? miiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiitiimiiiiiiMiiiHimiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiititiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiHiniiiiiiiiiimiimiiniiiii niiitHiiiitiiiiiiiiuimiiuur WASHINGTON COLUMN 'UWIM'IWUUIHVMIIIIIIIIIIUUhliWW Senator Cordon has introduced a bill to provide payments to counties in lieu of taxes on national forest lands. Under it the payments would be made in a regular amount based on the value of the forests in each county instead of payments based on annual forest. income. We assume that the bill is the same as that he introduced in the last session which had, as we re member, a favorable committee report by way of backing. That earlier bill had, also, the approval of the department of agriculture meaning the forest service and if 'there is any thing that the public can do to bring about its passage at this session it should be done. The enactment of the bill would mean a dependable, annual income, regular in amount and that is something that would help the countic; r.nd the tax payers in substantial degree.

SPACE COI KTENV CONSUMERS GAS A Local Institution Ity Peter ICiIson (NEA Wanhinnt.ui Corruniiuretrnt) Washington (NEA) Army chief of staff general Omar Brad ley recently got Involved in a dis cussion with the big shots of a mid-western city where he was making a speech. The group was arguing about future wars and how they would be fought. One of the men said: "General, the newspapers toll us that world war III will be fought with atom ic bombs, supersonic planes and a lot of new weapons. These are great strides, but how about world war IV? Is It possible to got any newer or fancier weapons than these?" 'I can give you the exact an swer to that question," said Gen eral Bradley. "If we have world war III, then world war IV will be fought with bows and arrows." The powerful American Legion lobby Is preparing for two big fights before the next congress. The first is a budget battle over probable drastic cuts In veterans admin istratlon appropriations. mere nas neon some indication that VA might be pared to pro vide more money for the armed services. The second fight, which is al ready out in the open, concerns ex-President Herbert Hoover's re organization commission recom mendation that all government hospitals be put under one admin istration. If this recommendation were put through. It would prob ably mean that only veterans wounded or afflicted while In service could get medical atten tion in government hospitals. At present almost any veteran can get Into a VA hospital, whether his trouble comes from service connected illness or not. A group of junior army, navy and air lorce officers in the Pen tagon have organized a new club known as "The Young Braves." Members are mostly aides and as sistants to the top brass. Idea for the new club grew out of a dis taste for the feuding now going on in the-unifled defense set-up. The Young Braves' plan for fighting would call for an entire ly new concept of a strictly air army, far beyond the present role of airborne troops They would be completely supplied by air and by ship. The navy would also be calll ed on to furnish tactical support for ground fighting from the decks of carriers. The way the Young Braves have It doped out! they'll have to wait until they get in the saddle before any of their ideas can be put Into prac tice. Most important appointment which President Truman must make In the immediate future Is to the United Nations Palestine conciliation commission. By ac tion of the UN general assembly at Paris, a three nation comrnlS' sion was created to try to find t& peaceful solution for the Palestine problem. The united states. Tur key and France were named td the commission. The two Euro pean countries are apparently waiting for the United States to name its delegate first. A list of names has been sent to President Truman for consld eration, but he has as yet made no cnoice. unding the right man may be difficult. He must be of outstanding character and repu tation, completely unbiased on the Palestine issue, yet able to win the confidence of both Jews and Arabs. Not only peace In Pal estine, but stability and future economic development of the whole Middle East are at stake on the outcome of the conciliation commission's work. Here's a hypothetical question which United Nations experts are debating: If the Chinese commu nists drive out Chiang Kai-Shek's nationalist government and take over control of China, the com mies will pick their delegates to the United Nations. If the Chi nese communists Join the Rus sian bloc, it would give the com munists two of the five perman ent seats on the security council. Then if France should eventually go communist the Russians would control three of the Big Five seats. Imagine what the sit uation would be if that process repeated a few more times so that communist countries would have a majority of the seats on the 11 nation security council.

He said that a repre sentative can best serve if he is given information well in ad vance.

He declared the legislature faces an almost impossible task of balancing the budget. Morse declared that he will be glad to have informative commu nications from Crook county resi dents at any time and gave an as surance that he will take especial pains in looking after the Inter ests of the people- of Crook and Jefferson counties. Washington Scene By Harman W. Nichols (United l'rwt Staff Uorrenpondcnt) Washington, Jan. 7 Ui Thanks to an old-time scientist named Marvin Pipkin, I now can remove the five o'clock shadow without fear of losing half my chin. The bO-year-old veteran of the laboratory started In the Invent ing business by trying to make paper from bullrushes. Later, he branched out into light bulbs and before anybody knew it, almost, he had gone Thomas Edison one better. Reconstructed, the story shapes up something like this: Edison In vented the incandescent lamp and for a long time there were no im provements. In fact, by the turn of the century, the great minds in the lab had decided that the carbon filament lamp was as per fect as man could make it. To strive for something better, they said, was something like sending a small boy in at deadline to do a quick re-write job on Hamlet. That's where the poll-takers in the lab should have taken a look over their test tubes instead of Into them. They hadn't reckoned with this man Marve Pipkin. He was in there working on the the ory that if you build a brighter bulb the world can better see the lane that leads to your doorway. Four BullVChanges All right. Time went on. And now it is agreed that the light bulb, as we know it today, has un dergone four major changes. First, the beginning and no challenge. Credit: Thomas A. Edi son. Second, the Tungsten filament, developed by Dr. Willis Whitney. Third, the first successful in side frost-job. This was one devel oped by Pipkin to soften the glare and brighten the room. And fourth now we have a fine new inside finish that is sup posed to be the ultimate in diffu sion of light. Also by Pipkin, who did what they said couldn't be done, making him one up on the famous Edison. As is often the case, Pipkin, who works at General Elect ric's lamp development laboratory at Ncla Park, outside Cleveland, was looking for something else when he came on his new discovery. He was fiddling around with magne sium powder, trying to get up a better flash bulb for photograph ers. All of a sudden, as a culmina tion of postwar research, out came a silica substance which acts as a nearly perfect diffuser of light. Yet it permits hlfih ligh transmission.
