HELLS CANYON OR CALIFORNIA?
In a recent editorial, "Eyes on the Columbia", the Ore
gonian discussed the "United Western Plan" the study now
under way on the feasibility of diverting water from the
Columbia basin to California. "Excess water", the Portland
paper calls it but that, to our way of thinking, is an agreement
that even under the most remote contingency there would
never be a use for all the waters of the basin. The northwest
y cannot accept such an agreement.
"The feasibility of diverting water" we take to refer to
feasibility in terms of engineering. Before that study is made
there must be a finding that there actually is and always will
be water m a quantity that leaves an excess over all basin
needs. We say that no such finding can be made. The weather
bureau has recently reported a substantial reduction in pre
cipitation in the Columbia basin over a long period of years,
What estimate can the bureau of reclamation make for the
. year 2000?
In its editorial the Oregonian said :
When the reclamation bureau and California congress
men started putting out feelers on Columbia river diversion,
they were careful to state that consideration would be given
only to use of water not needed by the Northwest and that
diversion certainly should not be made above Bonneville
dam. But other suggestions have been made since then
that water from the Snake should be moved Into the Colo
rado, for example.
We have noticed that suggestion that water from the Snake
river might be diverted to the Colorado and we have observed
the deep interest taken by the bureau of reclamation in the
Hells canyon project on the former stream. We called atten
tion yesterday to the restriction placed on Hells canyon in
' the DroDosed reclamation amendment to 1I.R. 5472, the om
nibus rivers and harbors and flood control bill. It read, in
case you did not see it, "the operation of Hells canyon dam
and reservoir for the generation of power shall be without
prejudice for future depletion of stream tlows arising irom
upstream diversions for beneficial consumptive uses . . ."
Were those words prepared in contemplation of a diversion
to the Colorado? If not should not the Hells canyon under
taking be postponed until the United Western project report
is completed? If the engineers find the project feasible then
the issue as to "excess waters" is narrowed. Will there" be a
supply in the Snake more than sufficient to meet all possible
needs in Wyoming and Idaho and to generate power at Hells
canyon as well? May it not come to a choice between Hells
canyon and a diversion to California?
SPINSTERS AND CLOVER
Jefferson county farmers are said to be competing for bee
colonies. The bees are wanted to aid in pollenizing the blos
soms in their fields of clover. They might persuade spinsters
to establish themselves in the county, too, and through them
secure better clover crops on the lines once described by
Charles Darwin.
Darwin, as we remember it, wrote of the fine clover found
in vicinities where spinsters lived. The explanation that he
offered was that spinsters kept cats, cats killed the mice that
ate the bees that pollenized the clover. Keep down the mice
and the bees flourish. j- t . ' '

(NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) CIO's
communist purge has hung up a
remarkable record over the past
four months. Six international
unions have been expelled. The
trials of six others are pending
Results In the six General Mo
tors plant elections were a ten
to-one victory for the new Inter.
national union ol Electrical worri
ers over the expelled United Elec
trical workers.
The California CIO council has
been completely reorganized. This
is the last of the major JIU coun
cils to be purged. Communist
leadership is now a factor in only
a few city councils.
This CIO clean-up drive began
at the Cleveland convention last
November when two internation
als were expelled forthwith. One
was the UEW, the other the Farm
Equipment Workers' union.
At the end of the convention
the CIO executive board was em
powered to conduct trials on 10
other international unions. The
charges against these unions
were not that they had commu.
nist membership, communist lead
ers or anything of that kind. The
charge was simply that these un
ions had consistently followed the
communist party line in prefer
ence to the approved policies of
uiu.
The four unions that have been
brought to trial and expelled in
mid.February are: Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers. 44,000 mem
bers; Office and Professional
Workers. 12,000 members; Public
Workers, 14,000 members; Food,
Tobacco and Agricultural Work
ers, 22,500.
Unions still to be tried are:
American Commun 1 c a t i o n s
Workers and the Fur and Leather
Workers, whose membership is
largely concentrated in the New
xork area but whose numbers
are not made public; the Allied
Fishermen with 25,000 members;
the Marine Cooks and Stewards
with 7000 members, and the Long,
shoremen and Warehousemen
with 75,000 members, largely con.
centra ted on the west coast; and
finally the Furniture Workers
with 44,000 members scattered all
over the country but with biggest
membership in New York and the
midwest.
Principal reason for delay In the
trial of the Longshoremen, Fish
ermen and Marine Cooks is that
they are in the Harry Bridges
orbit. Bridges is now on trial for
perjury relating to previous oaths
that he was not a communist. The
CIO executive board apparently
did not think it wise to' put Bridg
es under double Jeopardy by a
second trial at this time.
It is noteworthy that the Fur
niture Workers' Union is the only
one which has made any effort to
purge itself of left-wing domina
tion. Alter the Cleveland con
vention, Morris Pizer, president,,
started a campaign to get the
union in shape to avoid expulsion.
Pizer's difficulty has been that he
does not control the executive
board of his union. But to date
70 per cent of the local union's
members have voted to back Pi
zer and his ultimate victory
seems sure.
Reorganization of the expelled
unions' membership is now under
way. A new organizing commit.
tee of government and civic work
ers have been formed. To date it
has recruited some 12,000 mem
bers from government workers
who led the fight to clean up the
old Public Workers. Issuance of a
new CIO charter to this organiz
ing committee is pending.
The big fight has, of course.

bers.
The six General Motors local
elections at Frigidalre, Delco,
Packard Electric. Rochester. N.X.,
and New Brunswick, N.J., plants
were fairly simple to run off un
der national labor relations board
rules. All six unions had defin
itely broken with the old UEW.
The total vote was 22,167 IUE,
2528 UEW and 1240 no union. ;
Records on the Westinghouse
and RCA-Victor hearings have
been completed and are now un
der study by NLRB. These situa
tions are complicated by the pres
ence of other unions and of many
more locals. .

Old Witchcraft
Statute Revived
Wilmington, Del., March 15 iib
An ancient statute, written at
the time witches were burned at
the stake in colonial New Eng
land, was dusted off to charge a
23-year-old mother of two child
ren with practicing the "art of
witchcraft."
Pretty Mrs. Helen Evans, who
said she was a "character reader
and adviser" described her arrest
as "so much foolishness." She
was freed on her own bond pend
ing a hearing next Tuesday on
the witchcraft charge brought by
Detective Lt. George Keinberger.
Keinberger accused Mrs. Evans
yesterday of telling a woman that
her handwriting indicated she
was under a curse and giving her
a charm to "sleep on." Mrs. Ev
ans told the woman to return
with $10 in a .few days, at which
time the curse would be removed,
Keinberger said.
The ancient statute under which
Mrs. Evans was arrested has not
been used in the memory of court
and police officials. It carries a
fine not exceeding $100 or-imprisonment
up to one year.
Mrs. Evans, whose husband,
Lawrence, Identified himself as
an ordained minister, said she has
faith in certain practices such as
using garlic and wrapping bread
and sugar in a handkerchief and
keeping them next to the body.
the sauce. The garlic could be left
out if you're persnickity.

in the oven.
