NEW GOVERNMENT COMING UP
When Harold Ickes, as secretary of the interior, testified
before a senate committee on a proposed Missouri valley
authority he said that the enactment of the bill would mean
a change in the government of the United States as we have
known it for the past 150 years. The same thing would be
true under a Columbia valley administration. It would impose
a new form of government on the northwest region and since
the consent of tho governed is the American way it has been
urged that there be a referendum on the pending CVA mea
sures. Secretary Krug does not like the idea saying it would
be impractical to hold referenda.
It would, indeed, be difficult to hold a general election on
the question and even more difficult to set up .the rules to
' govern the election and to determine, if some sections voted
Jor and others against the proposal, just how the event should
bo treated. We should like it better, however, if Mr. Krug,
, instead of making an off-hand rejection, as he did before a
house committee last week, agreed to make a thorough study.
On the subject of management Mr. Krug opposes letting
the voters of the Columbia valley region select the directors.
He thinks that residents of the region should not necessarily
be members of the board but that "the three best qualified
men in the country" should be chosen regardless of residence.
That, of course, is a highly idealistic idea but Secretary Krug
is hardly naive enough to think that Harry Truman, were he
making the appointments, would consider it. Certainly, Presi
dent Roosevelt had no such thought in mind when he appoint
ed the lame duck, Jim Pope, to the TVA. Various appoint
ments by Mr. Truman for important posts have failed to get
by the senate because the appointee was unqualified. So many
others have been made to pay political debts that the line of
Truman thinking on the subject is obvious. Accordingly, it
is important that, at a minimum, residents of the region make
up the board. An important additional requirement has been
proposed by Senator Cain that no appointee has been in
government office for years 10 is the figure he suggests.
One of the Krug suggestions is at variance with the pro
posals of the CVA bill. According to the news reports the
secretary said to the committee: "It is of paramount im
portance that the president and congress retain control of a
program requiring such large federal expenditure." The bill,
however, goes a long way in by-passing congress and in plac
ing the administration board in a thoroughly independent
and self-sufficient position.
One other of the Krug proposals interests us. This is that
when other regional river authorities have been created mak
iner it an impossible burden for the president to handle "a
cabinet officer may have to be named to handle river author
ities." The secretary, it will be observed, mentions "author
ities" and thereby conforms the proposition that in the CVA '
the word used is administration just to take the curse off ,
the authority idea. That is interesting and it is interesting, ;
also, to find that some day all these government agencies will
be under a department head. - t
When that day comes the authorities department secretary
will have stripped other departments of a great variety of j
functions. We 11 certainly have a new government.
Fact and Fancy
By Ken Hicka
Another "sign ol the times" is
tho increasing number ot ped
dlers, agents and plain racketeers
now making the rounds.
"Bovs Town" has had to Issue
warnings that It has no solicitors
or agents. The '"easy money" Ren
try, capitalizing on high public
regard lor Father Flanagan's
wonderful institution, have been
ringing doorbells unci asking
(or "donations" to this cause.
They pocket all cash received.
Better business bureaus also
have felt impelled to warn the
public. The usual run of maga
zine solicitors, some legitimate
but many bogus, have been mulct
ing the gullible of late. One out
tit specializes in high pressure
girl s;Ues agents, who appear as
though they are barely out of
high school.
"My mother tells me I shouldn't
be doing this, but it I can sell so
many subscriptions I'll win a
prize," is the door-opening line ot
one such lassie. The "victim" as
sumes that he is talking to a
local girl, and frequently "doesn't
wise up until he has been
hooked," to use the vernacular.
Remodeling Starts
At Penney Store
' The Bend J. C. Penney Co. de
partment store on Wall street is
undo! going extensive remodeling
which will provide 2000 square
teet of additional floor space.
At present workmen are en
gaged in extending both the bal
cony and main floors by 20 feet.
In addition to that Job, the store
will be painted and new fixture
will be Installed.
Kenneth M. Longballa, store
manager, said today that all de
partments will be enlarged when
the remodeling It completed. He
added that thu location of some
of tho departments also will he
changed. For example, the In
fants department, and the foun
dation department are to be mov
ed to the main floor.
A. Wilson Uenold, Bend con
tractor, is in charge of the re
modeling work.

Ex-Prineville Man
Dies in Accident
Prlnevllle, July 19 -Mis, C. V.
ilonncy of llio Ochoco highway
district Monday returned from
Nampa, Ida., where she had lieen
culled hccaiiNO ot the fatal Inju
ries of her uncle, (.'art Falk, for
mer local lumlicr company em
ploye. She reported that she had
left Mrs. Clara M. Falk, her
uncle's widow, recovering at U'
Nampa . hospital from several
fractures and other Injuries suf
fered In I he accident, a collision ol
the Falk ear and unotlier Satur
day morning.
Mrs. Falk taught In the Crook
ed river grade school here last
year. She had declined tt contract
(his year, according to Crook
county school superintendent C.
M. Sly, to go to Ontario to teach.
Her husband has gone I hero to
enter employment of a lumber
company, it was reported.
MEETINfl TON N HIT
A dinner meeting of the no
Nerve Officers axHorlallou will be
held al lh I'ine Tavern tonight
at 7 . 'ID, with wives of nicmlici it
Invited. Following the meeting,
plans fur organization of an aux
iliary will lie discussed. Infuinia
lloii laming on organlallon
work has been received from I he
state president of tlin auxiliary.
All reierve officers and their
wive In central Oregon have
been Invited to utU'iid the dinner
meeting.
Almost Invariably the first ob
jective is to get inside the door.
Strategy ranges all the way from
"five samples" to outright mis
representation. "I'm taking a radio poll," is
one ruse. "I'm making a public
opinion survey," is another. Once
inside, however, the real objec
tive soon becomes known. And it
takes an individual with great
sales resistance to escape the
clutches of these specially trained
agents. More than one individual
has bought a set of books, con
tributed to a good cause or has ;
purchased unneeded articles as a
result of their "fast talk." Manyj
have pungled up cash for pictur-!
es never received, or have had j
"free" photographs taken only to
get an exorbitant bill for the
"picture frames." The radio poll
racket, in which listeners are j
urged to send money along with '
their votes, is the latest innova-!
tion.
Another fast one reportedly !
making the rounds capitalizes on '
public support for the infantile
paralysis foundation. An iron
lung, or at least a reasonable
facsimile, is displayed and uni
formed attendants demonstrate
how it is operated, and also dis
cusses the dread poliomyelitis in
authoritative terms. Then "con
tributions" are asked.
The public is not told that the
money thus contributed goes to
the national foundation for con
trol of Infantile paralysis, Tho In
ference is there, however. It may i
be that a small porUon of the
"collection is used to combat
polio, but we'll wager that "ex
penses" eat up most of the pro
ceeds. a a
We are not condemning all
door-bell ringers, although many
of them Ignore the regulation
that calls for registration with
the chamber of commerce before
they operate. Some are legi
timate; like the "Fuller Brush
Man," the Watklns Products"
and "Real Silk" hosiery salesmen.
It would be well, however, for
Bend householders to demand
positive identification in the fu
ture, before they do business with
these canvassers. Demand cham
ber of commerce credentials be
fore you even consider writing a
check or getting your "grocery
money" out ot the teapot!
For the racketeers are on the j
prowl again, with new ideas and I
new methods. They'll "gyp" you
if you don't watch out!

Out on the Farm
By IU S. Grant
, July 19 Already the feel of fall
is in the air. Last night I added a
sweater to my usual gardening
outf it d ungarees and shirt.
Found a new use for the wooden
shoes, by the way. They're good
pinch-hitters for irrigation boots.
The Chief went off to the par
ent larm north of Calico to help
mow hay. He was wearing a wool
shirt over his lighter one, I no
ticed. The Young Man was togged
up incongruously in a straw hat
and padded jacket He pinned the
brim of the hat back at both sides,
and tied the strings under his
chin. "Do I look like a western
er?" he asked anxiously.
Friend Electrician came out
from town and got the water
down three more rows of potatoes
on Upper Mosquito. We looked
apprehensively at the gathering
clouds. As cool as it's getting, rain
might be followed by a hard frost,
we worried. The beans and squash
are getting so big that covering
them would present a problem.
The pea vines are full of pods,
not yet filled out. The second
planting of beets and lettuce is
coming on, and we have hopes of
having a harvest, after all.
Others Say
AS THE SOCIALISTS VIEW
CVA
, (Oregon Journal)
. The Seattle Times was given
an interesting news release May
13.
It came out of a two-day con
ference of Socialist party repre
sentatives lrom uregon, Idaho,
.Montana and Washington at Seat
tle. It was released by Anis M.
Fisher, P. O. Box 286, Seattle.
, It concerns CVA which has been
branded by opponents as a move
toward socialism.
The Journal believes this news
release worth quoting in full.
Here It is:
"The -Socialist party has pio-!
nee red regional planning in the
utilization of our river resources
and public ownership of power.
We realize the urgent neeu for a
CVA. We realize that CVA is a
socialist venture. The Socialist
party, U. S. A., is a party of dem
ocratic socialism and is alarmed
at the present rapid trend toward
collectivization without democra
tic controls. The success of the
TVA is due primarily to the ap
pointment of such men as Morgan
and Lilienthal as top administra
tors. But in both 1 VA and CVA
there is no guarantee that such
appointments will always be
made.
Upon analysis of H. R. 4289
(Mitchell bill), the Socialist party
finds no adequate safeguards to
insure democratic control under
this measure. It centralizes pow
er in the president and three of
his appointees, thereby, in some
measure justifying the charge of
opponents of federal public power
and regional planning that CVA
will be a step in the direction of
the authoritarian state.
'To remove any such possibil
ity, Socialist party locals in the
northwest urge that control ol
CVA be 'vested in a board elected
by and representing as many of
tne following groups sa may be
feasible:
"a. All its non-supervisory em
ployes (not to be elected through
tne collective bargaining agency;,
b. All its supervisory and mana
serial employes, c. Consumers
of its product, d. Organized la
bor in general, e. Consumer in
terests in general, f. Represen
tatives of the nublic Interest ap
pointed by the Columbia Valley
Administration.
That's it. Think It ever!
A new variety of sweet potato
does not crawl all over the
ground like the ordinary kind
but grows upright, like a bush,
one foot high.
