Washinirton, July 19 (U.R) Sentiment appeared to be al
most equally divided in the house public works committee
today for and against the administration's Columbia valley

The committee's hearing on the measure are in recess.
There is agreement that, in tfrneral, democrats will be for

British Looking
To U. S. for Aid
In Latest Crisis
By It. If. Khwkford
(Unit! I'rvu Staff rurr!.omlntl
London.- July 19 tli- Two days
of parliamentary debate on the
British financial crisis Indicated
today a general British attitude
that only America with her vast
resources and finances can solve
the problem.
The debate disclosed that vir
tually all classes of Britons disa
greed with suggestions from
America that the crisis is British
and tho solution must bo British.
No concrete proposal for a solu
tion was made in commons. The
members did little more than air
their views. The only step spe
cifically proposed was made by
tho commonwealth ministers.
They suggested that Britain and
her commonwealth partners cut
American purchases by 25 per
cent.
'litis appears to be all that will
be done until the financial confer
ence In September In Washington.
V. S. Policies Bluned
British foreign secretary Ernest
Bovln ended the crisis debate Just
before midnight last night. He
blamed the "welfare state" poli
cies of tho United States for a ma
por part of Britain's financial pre
dicament. He specifically named Ameri
ca's policy of support prices for
farm products, high unemploy
ment insurance payments and
high sick pay benefits as partially
responsible.
Tlie chief conservative spokes
man, former foreign secretary
Anthony Eden, called for the U.
S. to emulate 19th century Britain
and Invest billions abroad to
stimulate International trade.
Eden also called for the U. S. to
release some of its vast gold
hoard. Ho suggested that the
United States might raise tho
price of Its gold the same thing
as devaluation of the dollar.
Eden, Bevln and all other speak
ers rejected any Idea of devalu
ing the pound storling, oven
though Its 'pegged $4 rate is a
reality only here In Britain.
dn nisi te has boon suggested as a
substitute for former proposed
slfo near the confluence of Bear
creek and the mnln stem of
Crooked river 22 miles south of
Prlnevlllo, or the Post site, lo
cated between Post and Paulina.
Tho Prinevllle dam would not
store enough water for use on
lands In about a 10,000-ncre vol
ume to the south and east of Pow
ell Butte. Nor could the proposed
Post dnm, while creating a much
larger reservoir than than nt the
Prinevllle site, make available
any water for the west Crook
county lnnds.
The new association has
pointed out to the bureau of rec
lamation that water can be
pumped from the big reservoir
proposed by the Hoffman site to
a cnnnl, which will start serving
land almost at the point of diver
sion from the stored pool. It was
cited that a. main canal would
be of a maximum length of only
about five miles. The Powell

few exceptions to this general
rule.
For instance, supporters of
the measure tend to be hopeful
thut republican Reps. Homer
Angell of Oregon and Kussell
Mack of Washington will be on
their side. Neither Angell nor
Mark has announced his position
formally. Opimncnts believe both
will be against the bill.
Both sides agree that Chair
man William M. Whlttington.
Mississippi democrat, will cast a
no vkjte. Other democrats who
have indicated their opposition by
thair questions are Reps. Henry
D. Larcado Jr., La., and Tom
Pickett, Tex.
27 on Committee
Supporters of tho measure,
however, believe Larcade's vote is
still in the balance.
There are 27 members on the
committee. Fifteen of them are
democrats and 12 are republicans.
If supporters of the bill are to lose
three democratic votes, they must
pick up at least one republican
vote to get the bill out of com
mittee. A favorable report by the house
committee would not mean enact
ment of the measure this session.
Chairman Dennis Chavez of the
senate public works committee
has announced that his group will
take no final action on the bill
before holding hearings in the Pa
cific northwest.
Arnold Ditch
Work Projected
Bids on timbers to be used in
tho construction of a section of
the Arnold irrigation district's
metal flume were to be opened to
day in the U. S. bureau of recla
mation office in Bend.
Construction of a major pnrt
of the metal flume which replaces
the Arnold district's rotted wood
Hume, already has been complet
ed. The rehabilitation project was
begun In 1943 and to date a total
of 4620 feet of metal flume has
been Installed. There remains a
total 782 feet of metal flume to
be Installed to complete the job.
Under the rehabilitation pro
gram land owners in the Arnold
district contracted with the U. S.
bureau of reclamation for the re
placing of the wood flume, which
was constructed in 1905 by a pri
vate company. A $172,000 appro
priation was made In 1948 for the
project and to date $143,000 has
boon spent on tho reconstruction
program.
Other Bids Due
Timbers on which bids were to
be opened today will be used to
support the 782 feet section of
metal flume. Tomorrow bids will
be opened In the bureau office on
hardware to be used on the proj
ect. Bids have also been called by
the bureau on the radial gate and
gate hoist to be installed at the
Arnold district headworks. The
bids . will be opened at 11 a.m.,
July 27.
At present 3.400 acres of land
Is under Irrigation in the Arnold
district. District board members
include: R. R. Mitchell, George T.

Frank Murphy,
SupremeCourt
Justice, Dies
Detroit, July 19 dji -Supreme
court justice Frank Murphy, early
new dealer and close friend ol tne
late President Roosevelt, died to
day at Henry Ford hospital. He
was 59.
The red headed Jurist, who dur
ing his political career came to
grips us much as any man with
the Ills of civilization, was found
dead in his hospital bod at 7:45
a.m.
Death was caused by a heart at
tack. His body was found by a
nurse on her routine morning
rounds. Doctors said his condi
tion was "all right' last night.
Treated for Month
Dr. Wayne Parkinson, assistant
hospital superintendent, said that
Murphy had been coming to the
hospital for "about a month" for
heart tests.
Parkinson said tho Justice ar
rived at the hospital last night to
spend the night, and had planned
to go to his old Harbor Beach
home for the summer. He said
that Murphy's sister. Mm. Marga
ret Teehan, Detroit, was coming
here from Harbor Beach.
Appointed by the late President
Roosevelt, his elevation- to the
high court Feb. 3. 1940, climaxed
a long period of. public service
that began as an assistant federal
district attorney In 1919.
His family was not with him
when he died. The medical cause
of death was given as coronary
occlusion.
Ex-Mlrhigan Governor
Murphy was one of the first
important public officials to
espouse the principle that caring
for the unemployed was a nation
al responsibility. To him,, as gov
ernor of Michigan, fell the respon
sibility of dealing with a new tech
nique In American labor relations
the sitdown strike.
He had scarcely taken office in
1937 when tho sit-down epidemic
started in auto plants 01 General
Motors. His handling of the
strikes brought sharp criticism
from business. But the bachelor
jurist never waivered from his
firm belief that armed labor con
flict should be avoided a all cost.
President Truman was one of
the first to send a message of
condolence to George Murphy, his
brother and Detroit recorder's
court Judge.

Governor McKay Approves
Lifting of Rent Controls
At Ashland; Others Studied
By William Warren
(United Press Staff Correspondent I
Salem, July 19 (U.R) Gov. Douglas McKay today approved
the lifting of rent controls in Ashland, Ore., but he said he
was still studying the knotty problem of removing similar
curbs in Salem and Eugene.
McKay gave his approval to rent decontrol in Ashland
after the city council of that southern Oregon city requested
him to do so. The governor's decontrol order is being forward-
Warm Springs
Road to Slash
Driving Time
Now it Is official.
The new Warm Springs high
way, to be placed in use late this
fall, will reduce the distance from
Central Oregon points to Port
land 32.79 miles. The estimated
reduction has ranged from 30 to
35 miles, but as the final lines
were established it was generally
known that the distance between
tho midstate country and the
state metropolis would be slashed
around 32 miles.
The official distance was com
puted today by members of the
Bend district highway staff.
The new highway branches
west from The Dalles-Callfomia
highway at Madras, crosses the
Warm Springs reservation and
joins the Wapinitia route four
miles west of Bear springs.
It is estimated that the new
cutoff will lower the normalTiriv
ing lime between Bend and Port
land approximately one hour.
Distance between Madras and
the Wapinita Junction is given
as 46.43 miles. The span over the
gorge of Mill creek is 24.95 miles
from Madras. Both the Cow can
yon and Maupin grades will be
eliminated lor Bend- Porlland-i

Powells Store
Changes Hands
The sale of Powell's clothing
store, located on Wall street, to
two Lewiston, Ida., businessmen,
was announced today by Mr. and
Mrs. Fred C. Powell, operators of
the establishment.
The buyers, Ralph Baker, and
George A. Harvey, will take
over the operation of the bus
iness August 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Powell will move
to Stockton, Calif., where Powell
is California distributor for Gib
son farm equipment. Their son,
Kent, will also accompany them
south and take an active part in
the farm equipment business.
Powell has had the distributor
ship since this past March.'
The Bend clothing store has
been under the ownership of the
Powell for the past four years.
They said today that while in
Bend they have made many won
derful friendships and for that
reason dislike leaving the central
Oregon community. They plan to
leave tomorrow for their Califor
nia home.
Mrs. Ray Banks will manage
the store until the new owners
take over August 1. Powell said
that there will be no changes in
store personnel under the new
management.
Letter Lauds
Water
Pageant
A member of a party of visitors
who "happened to be in Bend at
the time of the water pageant,
recently wrote to the Bend cham
ber of commerce to commend the
city on its unique show.
In the words of the writer, P.
F. Willoughby, McMinnville, "We
had the great pleasure of seeing
the floats and hearing the pro
gram in tnat most beautiful set
ting (Mirror pond).
One of the party was Robert E,
Clark, of Washougal, Wash., who
designed six floats which won
prizes in the Portland Rose fes
tival. Of the Old Ironsides float
he declared, "It was one of the
finest floats I have ever seen." As
for the rest, he said, "They were
magnmcenr."
In closing Willoughby wrote,
"We are glad we chanced to
spend the evening with you and
to have had the pleasure of see
ing that show. We will be back
again next year and, incidentally,
we are telling all our friends
about the show."
ed to Tighe E. Woods, nation
al housing expediter who must
pass on the directive before
rent ceilings are removed
However, Woods has made it
a practice to date to accept
governors' recommendations
as the final word
McKay said he heard no reac
tion from Ashland one way or the
other about removing rent ceil
ings, except for the resolution
from the city council.
Others Controversial
On the other hand, he said the
problem of rent decontrol in Eu
gene and Salem was "a more con
troversial matter, by far."
McKay disclosed his office has
been bombarded with mail, tele
grams and telephone calls from
tugene since the city council
there voted 6 to 1 to remove rent
controls. More than 75 communi
cations have been received from
Eugene, with a slight majority in
favor of removing the controls.
Many of the writers asked for
an impartial survey of the Eugene
housing picture. Labor, and vet
erans organizations were gener
ally lined up against removal of
rent ceilings. Landlords were in
favor of knocking off the ceiling.
Many communications also
have been received from residents
of Salem, where the city council
first voted to keep the curbs, then
reversed itself and voted tor de
control. Gov. McKay said he would be
guided by.ity council action as a
general rule, but that he would
like to see housing surveys made
Derore city councils make their de
cisions, said McKay:
Governor Comments
When the resolution of a city
council is on my desk for action,
it appears that approval necessar
ily should be given it from the
state level, for the reason that
the local governmental agency
has a first-hand opportunity to de,
termine the wishes of the resi
dents of the city involved. The fed
eral law does not provide that the
governor shall hold a hearine. but
places that responsibility with the
city council
"It would seem to me that the
most sensible approach to the
problem, for cities financially
aoie, would oe tne conducting of a
housing survey. Monies to match
an equal amount of city-provided
luncis were made available
through senate bill 390, passed by
the 1949 legislature for the pur
pose ot insuring housing surveys.
But, as I said before, it would
appear difficult, and certainly out
of order, for me to override the
decision of a city council. If a pub
lic heaing should prove unsatis
factory, the council should be ask
ed for another hearing on the
subject.

a minimum of 100 guardsmen
The town was quiet today. But
McCall said he expected another
show of force by the mob tonight.
Only a few negroes were on the
streets and those reporting for
work were escorted by whites.
"I'm going to break up this
trouble," McCall said. "I'm tired

By Merriman Smith
(UP White House Reporter)
Chicago, July 19 President
Truman said today that Russia is
beginning to encounter trouble v
behind the Iron curtain, and
promised that this nation's great
crusade for peace" will win out.
The president said that the
world is "weary of lies, propa
ganda and hysteria created by
dictatorships," and bluntly told
world communism to stop rob
bing smaller nations of their lib
erties and Independence or suffer
inevitable self-destruction.
Mr. Truman addressed the dia
mond jubilee celebration of the
Shrine at sun-baked Soldier field.
He Degan speaking at 5 p. m.
EDT.
Without naming Russia specif-
Ically, he said that vJlthln her
circle, of control, tensions and
conflicts appear to be increas
ing."
He said world communism "may
have temporary triumphs, but In
the long run it must either de
stroy itself, or abandon its at
tempt to force other nations into
its pattern."
Crusade to Control
He promised that the crusade
for peace will go forward despite
tne contrary efforts ot communist-guided
leaders whom he ac
cused of erecting "barriers of
suspicion" between their people
and the outside world.
A crowd estimated by police it .
70,000 persons cheered the presi
