free than she ran into more diffi
culties. A 25-knot wind which had
been her ally in getting free now
became an enemy.
Afloat In the narrow artificial
channel which engineers had
dredged almost to the stern of the
ship, the wind threatened to send
her back onto the sand.
The tugs immediately moved to
positions around the Missouri and
protected her against the waves
and wind. Slowly she was guided
stern first into the main channel.
It was the end of a long and em
barrassing period for the navy.
For Adm. W. H. P. Biandy, who
retires today as commander in
chief of the Atlantic fleet, it was
a moment of "elation." Now, he
could turn over intact and afloat

the skipper of the Missouri who
was taking her out for the first
time as captain when she ran
aground, it was a moment of re
lief. The ship went aground when
she veered somewhat from the
channel to run over a navy under
water acoustic range.
VINSON HAS SUGGESTION
Washington, Feb. 1 mi Chair
man Carl Vinson of the house
armed services committee propos
ed today that the navy put the re
floated battleship Missouri in
mothballs and commission instead
another aircraft carrier.
"That's what should have been
done a long time ago," the
Georgia democrat told the com
mittee.
"There's no use spending $6,-
000,000 a year to keep this ship in
commission when we all know
that a battleship in modern times
no longer has the usefulness it
once did.
Vinson told committee members
he will ask the committee next
Tuesday to take formal action on
a resolution embracing this pro
posal.
President Truman, a Missouri
man, has made it clear in the past
that the battleship will stay in
service as long as he is chief ex
ecutive. Hospital News

coast property, a question argued
during four days of testimony last
week prior to rejection of the ini
tial offers.
The commission has no actual
authority to rule in any way on
the merits of the question. Its con
cern is solely to see that the pub
lic utility law is observed in all
respects In the sale of utility as
sets. Its rejection last week of the
bids of Allen & Co., and asso
ciates, and of B. J. Van Ingen &
Co., and associates came about
only because, in the opinion of the
commission, "competitive condi
tions" were not maintained by
American power in negotiating
with those groups.
Testimony before the examiner
last week disclosed the intention
of the Van Ingen group to dispose
of Pacific Power through the
services of public utility promoter
Guy C. Myers, and probably to a
public utility district in the Pa
cific northwest; the Allen inter
ests, on the other hand, indicated
their intention of selling Pacific
Power stock publicly, thereby as
suring continued operation of the
utility by private interests.
The original hearing, which
convened Jan. 23, heard the peti
tion of the Van Ingen banking
group for exemption, as prospec
tive purchaser of the Pacific
Power stock, from compliance
with the holding company act.
However, the submission of a sec
ond bid for the stock by the Allen
group created the question wheth
er "competitive conditions" had
been maintained by American
Power, and the SEC ruled they
had not been, and rejected both
bids.
During last week's hearing, wit
nesses tor American Power &
Light testified that the ever
growing threat of widened public
ownership of .utility operations in
the northwest had reduced the
chances for a successful sale of
such properties in that region.
Representatives for public serv
ice commissions of Washington
and Oregon, and of Pacific Power
& Light appeared in opposition to
any contemplated sale to public
pover interests, and Paul B. Mc-
Kce, Pacific Power president, said
during the hearing and subse
quently that he favored the Allen
bid of $15,000,000 cash.
B, J. Van Ingen & Co., and asso
ciates originally offered S10.000
cash plus contingent payments up
to a total of Sl.800.000 and then
changed the bid to $14,500,000
cash.
McKee said he favored the Al
len grotip because of their prom
ise to keep the utility in private
hands. If another group offered
more money, with the same prom
ise, he would favor that bid, he
added.

The outlook was for snow flur
ries and variable cloudiness in
Washington and Oregon this aft
ernoon and tonight, with more
cold wave In both states but
slightly higher minimums.
The weather bureau predicted
a tow temperature of 5 to 15 In
western Oregon, 10 to 20 degrees
below in eastern Washington, 12
to 22 in the Interior of western
Washington, and 5 to 15 below in
eastern Oregon.
Variations In air movement ac
counted for the quick tempera
ture drop this marring, the
weather bureau said. The cold
was complicated by strong east
erly winds blowing down the Co
lumbia river gorge winch whip
ped fresh snow into big drifts.
Stevenson, Wash., reported
winds up to 34 miles an hour.
During the night only traces of
snow fell in most northwest cities
as the skies cleared.
Bears in the Portland zoo and
monkeys, had enough of the cold.
Zoo custodians said most of the
animals in the main shelter stay
ed inside where the temperature
was 65 degrees.
Thermometer Moved
The Portland weather bureau
moved its official temperature
readings hack to ijs downtown'
office from the Portland-Columbia
airport because it was loo
cold.
Residents had complained that
the airport readings were too
cold for the city and would cast
a bad reflection on the usually
mild city of roses.
The dally temperature read
ings were switched to the airport
several weeks ago because sur
rounding downtown buildings
often caused inaccurate readings
atop !he customs house,
A combination of Ice In the
Columbia river and increased use
of electricity because of the cold,
forced the Bonneville power ad
ministration to cut off 88,000 kil
owatts interruptahie power to
northwest aluminum plants. The
BPA also cut the power fre
quency during last night's peak
hour to 59.5 cycle from a normal
60. causing electric clocks to lose
30 seconds every hour.

Continued Use
(Continued on Page 5)
1935, the resettlement administra
tion was directed to handle the
purchase and resettlement pro
gram. In 193, the administration
of the project and the develop
ment of the grazing units were
transferred to the soil conserva
tion service.
In the past decade, the grazing
project has been extensively de
veloped. A summary of the econ
omic report, made under the su
pervision of C, V. Plath, station
associate agricultural economist,
states, in part:
"Government ownership of the
iiy.uuu acres in sub-marginal land
m south-central Jefferson county
resulted, directly or Indirectly, In
a loss of an estimated $19,000 In
revenue for the county treasury
in 1348. Total losses in property
taxes were estimated to be ap
proximately $-10,000. Savings from
schools and roads and gains front
taxes on stock grazed on the proj
ect, from payments made by the
government, and from a leasehold
tax would amount to over $21,000.
This leaves an estimated net loss
of nearly $119,000 in 194a This
does not include the overhead ex
penses of a share in maintaining
county offices, nor expenses In
curred through tax delinquencies
and sales . . ,
No Farming'
"Government ownership, under
existing laws, precludes farming
on this land; Wheat farming can
not be recommended because rain
fall is so light, variable and un
predictable that vhcat yields are
low and undependable . , . Wheat
farmers op project land would
have costs as high as In other Co
lumbia basin counties but couWi
I be expected to have lower returns
) because the yield Is tower. Wheat
lean be produced on the best land
1 within the project, hut the hmg
Itime risk is too great to recom-
mend that the grazing be sacri
ficed lor grain production.
"Grazing Is the best acrfcultur-
al use of the sub-marginal land
until such time as more wtsrat is
needed than can tse produced on
land which has consistently high
er yields. Government owncrsiiip
with a large measure of local con
trol promises that the land will
continue to be used for grazing
purposes and will serve the needs
of local farmers."
