WASHINGTON COLUMN
"RELATIVITY: FISH. POWER, INDUSTRY"
Because it is sane, well-reasoned and non-rhotorical we
like an editorial, "Relativity: Fish, Power, Industry", that
appeared in the Oregon City Enterprise late last week. And
we think that our readers will like it and so we reprint it
here :
Let someone suggest a new dam on the Columbia or any of
its tributaries, and you hear loud deprecatory noises from down
Astoria way. It's been going on for decades. No use blaming
them those people want to protect their fishing industry.
Oregon City, though more or less neutral in that it enjoys
a bit of front door salmon fishing while being interested along
with other Willamette valley communities in flood control and
industrial development, has had a ringside seat at this fight,
three speakers at luncheon club session here having discussed it
recently.
Dr. E. L. Perry of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who
spoke at Tuesday's Chamber of Commerce luncheon had, in our
opinion, the right slant. The fishing industry can be conserved,
right along with power development, If there is intelligent plan
ning rather than noisy recrimination which tends to obscure
the facts.
In all this there Is, however, a question of relativity which
deserves emphasis. Dr. Perry, in response to a question, said the
annual value of fish life in the Columbia and its lower tributar
ies is $17 million, of which about $14 million is In the commer
cial fisheries.
Now that Is a tidy sum, and well worth safeguarding as It
will be but It is relatively microscopic in relation to all that
Is involved in power, flood control and irrigation. The value of
commercial fish taken in the lower Columbia is, by coincidence,
almost exactly the value of last year's production on just one
irrigation project the Owyhee In Malheur county.
On the other hand the Bonneville development, against which
the fishing interests Inveighed at the outset and have complained
, rather persistently ever since, is a colossus alongside the salmon
take. In sale of hydroelectric power alone, Bonneville Adminis
tration's Income from Bonneville and Grand Coulee Installa
tions is 50 per cent greater than that of commercial fishing.
Try to estimate In terms of industrial output and jobs created,
what the utilization of that powqr means. There are of course,
no accurate figures which encompass everything that is keyed
to Bonneville power. The fact that Oregon's payroll "covered"
by unemployment compensation increased from $259 million In
"1940 to $853 million in 1947, largely through Industrial expan
sion which lack of sufficient electrical power would have pre
vented, may furnish some idea.
Today, further Industrial expansion is stymied because once
again, demand for electrical power has pushed ahead of supply.
These additional plants must be built or the Pacific Northwest
must level off at about its present state of development.
It follows that anti-power arguments of the fishing Industry
more and more are drowned out by the Increasing clamor for
additional power development. Relatively, salmon fishing shrinks
In importance. Fortunately the fishing industry and Its strange
bedfellows, the sportsmen usually at swords' points, yet allied
In this fight are coming to realize this. At the recent Colum
bia Basin project hearing in Portland, spokesmen for the fish
ing Industry made it clear that they would no longer oppose
power development, but asked merely for such protection as
could be afforded them.
The point is not that these interests should be Ignored. The
point is that these various factors In the Pacific Northwest's
economy need to be viewed in proper perspective. When that
Is done, a long step toward solution of the various problems
automatically has been taken. , , . , 1
To what the Enterprise has said we would add the sug
gestion that in protesting a Deschutes dam Astoria is not
trying to protect its fishing industry. It seeks protection for
one portion of that industry alone that based on the river
run of salmon. But the fishing industry at Astoria has many
more strings to its bow. Sharks from whose livers important
oils are extracted have, in recent years, become an important
part of the Astoria catch. Tuna, once unknown at Astoria,
now constitute a large share of the port's fishing industry
nor are these the fish taken in the nearby ocean. Tuna are
brought to Astoria for canning from points as far south as
Costa Rica and, according to our information, Astoria pack
ers are now preparing to go after fish away across the Pacific
around the Marianas. Varieties once discarded have now a
wide market.
Central Oregon's resources are important but the region
has no such opportunity as has Astoria to turn from one
phase to another unless it gets more power.
Others Say
CONSERVATIVE SIRS.
KOOKEVEI.T
(Corvallis CazcttoTimes)
We wonder if the radical Tru
man program has soared Mrs.
Roosevelt into being conservative
or has she always been as sensible
as she is in the article we quote
from below. Dr. Strand sends us
a clipping from a Washington
paper which quotes Mis. Roose
velt as follows in an article pub
lished there last week:
"It is essential lo a high level if
employment that it be profitable
for capital lo be Invested, not Just
In safe enterprises, but in new
and untried enterprises. There
must be incentive for tills, parti
cularly in lime of peace. Some of
our biggest investors, such as
trust companies, hanks and insur
ance companies, are limited bv
law in their Investment In order
to safeguard those whose money
they are using. Therefore. If we
expect to develop new enterprises,
to employ more people and to
have more buying power, there
must always be available capital
from individual investors as it is
getting harder to find today.
Therefore it Is going to be neces
sary, it seems to me, to examine
everything not only with an eye
to what we would like to dn, hilt
with the constant thought before
us of what the essentials are that
must be done.
"The preservation of the credit
of our government Is of vital im
portance to us and to I he world as
a whole. While 1 believe there are
things In our program as outlined
by the President that will help
bring us prosperity. 1 think that
even the best of them should be
weighed with the viewpoint of
their essentiality In obtaining the
objectives that we have before us.
These objectives are rehabilita
tion in (lie world at large and sta
bility and strength in our own
economic system at hnnie. These
ends should never be forgotten
and (heir importance should lie
explained to the people as each
step Is taken In this program so
as to see us through tha difficul
ties of the next few yc-a.-i."

Washington (NEA) Veterans
of Foreign Wars stole the show
from American Legion at the un
veiling of the Legion's own pen
sion bill on Capitol Hill. Smart
VFW legislative chief Omar Ket-chum-
called chairman John
Rankin of the house veterans'
committee and told him that new
VFW national commander Lyle
Beggs was in Washington, but
would have to leave soon. Ket-
chum asked if Beggs couldn t
speak his piece on the bill first.
Rankin agreed. As a result Beggs
got all the Initial publicity and
made it appear that the whole
thing had been planned by VFW.
Actually, the Rankin bill, which
would give veterans of both world
wars $00 a month at age 60 and
$90 at age 65, was drafted by the
Legion.

Katharine F. Lenroot.' head of
the U. S. Children's bureau, had
to do some fast ad libbing to
avoid an awkward conflict be
fore the national commission on
children and youth, meeting in
Washington. Speaking ahead of
her was George D. Stoddard,
president of University of Illi
nois. In lus talk he said he was
n't sure that rent control was
such a good thing for the coun
try. "Maybe what we need is less
rent control and more houses,"
he said. When Miss Lenroot read
her speech, she came to one sen
tence which said on paper, "Until
enough houses have been built
to provide a freer market, rent
control will be needed to aid in
keeping rents within the reach of
lower income groups and to pre
vent evictions." Instead, she said,
The question - of rent control
needs close study in connection
with lower Income groups."
Members of the audience who
were following printed copies of
the speech snickered. Miss Len-
oot blushed.

Ex-President Herbert Hoover's
commission an organization of
the federal government is now
somewhat concerned over how its
:,000,000 word report is going to
be handled by congress. The com
mission master minds would like
to have a special committee set
up to handle the report as a
whole. But there Is considerable
outside pressure to have the re
port broken up, with each part
referred to one of the standing
committees of senate and house
agriculture, armed services,
nd so on. This could easily nul
lify all Hoover recommendations.
Best compromise suggested is to
have the report handled by stand
ing committees on expenditures
in the executive department.
Veterans' administrator Carl
Gray Is having a rough time with
congressmen from districts In
which construction of vets' hos
pitals has been cancelled. In M
cities, a total of $1,250,000 had
already been spent for prepara
tion of sites tor promised hos
pitals. Water systems were en
larged, streets and sewers put in,
bond issues floated to pay for
them. Many sites were donated.
Under the law, these properties
can be returned only by act of
congress, or through sale by war
assets administration as surplus
property, irate congressmen are
trying first to get their hospital
projects reapproved, or at least
to get veterans' administration

Washington Scene
By Harmon W. Nichols
tUnitcjl Press SW.t Correspondent)
Washington, Feb. 21 l-n Some
scallywag once started a rumor
that James C. Petiillo, boss man
of the musicians' union, wanted
to organize the night club lushes
in Chicago.
Jim alleged, it was alleged, that
anybody who bangs a highball
glass with a swizzle stick In time
with the music ought to carry a
musician's card.
The former cornet player got
red around the jowls and said it
wasn't so. Which, doubtless, It
wasn't. Proving, he said, that
J.C.P. has a heart. Which, doubt
less, he has.
Old Jim was wearing his heart
where it belongs this week when
he wrote U.S. Senator Harry Pul
liam Cain, R of Tacoma, Wash.,
it would be all right for him to
flip a flock of platters as a radio
disk jockey. "Just so you don't
make a habit of it, Sir."
"Mr. Petrlllo' was very nice
about it," said the slender, brown
haired law-giver who Is photo
genic enough to jump from disk
jockeying lo video. "He looked
over the records we planned to
use and decided all are in the pub
lic domain and that all of the
folks who made them are rank
amateurs."
It all came up like this:
For over two years. Sen. Cain
has supplied the people back
home with the pro and con of
stuff that goes on in Washing
ton, usually ne keeps it to talks
that are of Interest to his state.
He makes a record of his talks on
Wednesday and airmails copies to
some 30 or more radio stations
out there.
"I thought they might like a
change of pace," he told me to
day. "So for my next Monday
night show I went over to see my
friend, Dr. Duncan Emrich, at
the Library of Congress."
Emrich is in charge of the folk
lore section of the library, prob
ably the world's largest collec
tion of musical lore. Some 10,000
recordings, made up of more
than 40,000 different songs and
ballads, fiddle tunes, harmonica
and banjo pieces.
Most of these were recordings
made by singers and guitar
strummers who never heard of
Petrillo.
The senator didn't take any
chances. He had his secretary
drop a line to the czar of the
treble clef In Chicago.
He told him what was up. He
said he had heard about the Chi
cago rumor, which he did not be
lieve. The senator also mentioned
a case in which Petrillo kept a
national champion high school
.band off the air.
ine neaa music-maxer came
back and said he would be glad
to. It was, he said, indeed a pleas
ure. The senator from Washing
ton state had nothing to worry
about. Words to that effect.
So on Monday night the people
of Washington (state) will hear
"Skip to My Lou. That s a fine
little ditty granddad and his lady
will remember. And "A Railroad
er for Me."
Not to mention "Barnyard
Song."
Clam Contestants
Ready for Action
Seattle. Feb. 21 iui Contest
ants for the second annual Clam
bowl were putting the finishing
touches on training tables today
as the west accepted the east's
challenge of Kenneth (I Like
Clams) Snow.
Snow, son of the founder of the
Snow Clam Canning Co., Pine
Point, Me., entered the contest as
a "dark horse" contender late
Saturday and immediately pro
claimed he would eat defending
clamateur champion Dick Watson
out of "house, home and crown."
The Seattle cab driver was un
perturbed by. the challenger's
cries. He said it was beneath his
dignity to even "think of answer
ing such obvious bragging."
"He'll have to dig deep to
prove his boast," was all Watson
would say.
Snow, momentarily nonplussed
when he learned the contest rules
called for consumption of steam
ed clams, bowed to the rules of
the International Pacific Free
Style Amateur Clam Eating
Contest association rules and
sniffed the fragrant delicacies.
"But back home we eat 'em
raw," he declared. "Steamed
clams are only for sissies."
The 145-pound Snow sniffed dis
dainfully when he heard of the
competition arrayed against him.

THIS IS
Photography
With the temperature re
maining above the freezing
point last week it appears that
there is hope that Spring oan
not be far away. With that
hope, the shutter-bug or cam
era fa.n begins to get the urge
to get out doors. Be reminded,
however, that all of the
"weather" isn't behind us and
that we shall be forced to re
main indoors for awhile yet.
One of the questions that is
asked most often over the
counter of the Camera Dept.
at Symons Bros, is how to ex
pose indoor color film wilh
photo floods, flash, or what
have you.
In exposing color film in
doors, the greatest confusion
seems to come from determ
ining the correct color lem
peralure of the various types l
of film, and the speed ratine I
Type "A" Kodachrome, wheth-1
er 35mm, Bantam, 8mm or 1
lfimm is balanced for 3100 de
grees Kelvin light which means
it may be used with photo
floods at the recommended
ASA rating, and no filter. All
other color film on the market
including Ansco roll. Tungsten
type, 120 and 35mm also Kkta
chrome Type "to" and Koda
chrome Tye "B" cut film, is
balanced for 3200 degree Kel
vin light and when used with
photo floods It requires a com
pensating filter, Eastman Ko
dak CC 15. When used with
3200 degree Kelvin bulbs, no
filters are required, the pub
lished ASA ratings are approx
imately correct.
Now, flash photography is
another story and principally
because of the fact that
and Sylvia-Wabash flashbulbs
have entirely different color
and rating from photoflood
lamps. When using daylight
Kodachrome you must use
either blue flash bulbs or
those that have been dipped
in Jen Dip or some similar
type bluing in order to make
them blue which will then
give you proper balance in
your exposure. If you use Ko
dachrome Type "A," it re
quires a compensaling filler,
Eastman Kodak CC 15 and
with Ektachrome Tye "B" a
Kodak CC as.
Don't let all ot the facts and
figures deter you from enjoy
ing good pictures taken on
color film wilh artificial light.
If you're still a little hazy
come in and let us try to sup
ply you with essential needs.
only. Photography is fun am
everyone will enjoy your pic
turps.
Movie film supply is an tin
known quantity for the sum
mer months. But, the stocks
are fairly good now and you'll
be wise to lay in a small stork
for the all important summer
months now. We hope to be
able to furnish you with your
needs lor colored movie film
during the vacation months,
hut it's bevond our control.
So: we suggest that you main
