PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO II. K. 5472
Three weeks ago we discussed here the situation in the
senate with respect to II. It. 5172. I hat bill, our readers may
remember, is the omnibus rivers and harbors and flood con
trol measure sent over from the house and held in the senate
committee on public works (Senator Chavez, chairman) while
the senate committee on interior and insular affairs (Sena
tor O'Mahoney, chairman) worked on amendments propos
ing the authorization of 13 Columbia basin projects to be un
dertaken by the bureau of reclamation. (We had it as 14 pro
jects in that first discussion but the correct figure is 13). One
of the 13, Hells Canyon, has no irrigation feature whatever.
We had said that the measure had had inadequate treat
ment in the news and the condition has been improved but
slightly. It now appears, however, that the rivers and harbors
and flood control bill has become, technically, the unfinished
business-before the senate. II. It. 5472, that is, was reported
by the Chavez committee last week. The expectation is that it
will be up for debate this week, that many public works
amendments will be offered and, in particular, that the O'Ma
honey committee amendments covering those 13 projects will
enter the picture. We think there will bo news on these.
Sound legislative practice would require findings of feasi
bility before project authorization. How it may be with the
other 12 we do not know but Hells canyon, we do know, has
had only sketchy studies and it has no business in an author
ized list. Project feasibility, however, is not likely to play
much part in the penate debate. Instead, the establishment of
the basin account and the use of the interest component on ac
count of the irrigation subsidy will be presented as the more
important issues. Each is proposed in the O'Mahoney com
mittee amendment.
There have been several wordings urged for the basin
account plan. Each has been devised to secure a particular re
sult. We lack the knowledge that would enable us to explain
each and to make clear what was sought. The provisions of
the amendment recommended by the committee, however, in
tend (1) a uniform rate for power from government projects
throughout the basin, (2) such rate to be high enough to pro
vide an irrigation subsidy with (3) tlfe use of the interest
component. -
What senate sentiment is on these points singly or together
we shall learn as the debate progresses. Outside the senate
there are various viewpoints on which sentiment has already
been expressed. There are groups who think that federal
power should be sold at cost without any additional charge for
subsidy purposes. Others accept the subsidy idea but have
reservations as to how far rates should be permitted to go in
order to produce this irrigation aid. The interest of this group
is in power rates rather than irrigation. On the other hand
there is a group whose chief interest is in irrigation and who,
accordingly, would be willing to see power rates at a point
as high as the traffic would bear with the above-cost income
dedicated to the subsidy.
Within the basin account plan there is opportunity to sat
isfy any one of these groups. Which one is to be satisfied will
be indicated in the wording of the, amendment that is approv
ed by the senate. As we read the O'Mahoney amendment it is
the last of the three groups just described that will find satis
faction in it. The influence of the northwest public power
association will be thrown against this for it is in the first
group that demands "that electric, revenues bo used,. only for
retirement of obligations incurred to provide facilities in multi-purpose
projects." It wants no provision for an irrigation
suosiciy.
As we get it Portland business interests will support,
though reluctantly, the set-up that will afford a subsidy.
Their reluctance would turn to opposition if they felt that the
rate was to go too high. Just how to determine at this stage
what rate would be too high is difficult and even more diffi
cult is the problem of putting together tile words to be used in
a congressional act that will express and effectuate their feel
ings. Wo imagine that Senator Cordon, while supporting re
clamation values, will be working for power rates as low ns
possible in a frame work of some sort of reclamation subsidy.
Use of the interest component as a part of the irrigation'
subsidy has been well described bv the Oregonian as a device
by which "the taxpayers of the United States .... not only
advance the funds for construction but also .... make up the
interest payments from their own pockets." This the Portland
paper accepts being, as it says, "not inclined to be more
virtuous in the matter than reasonable federal practices re
quire." Just what "reasonable federal practices" may be we
do not know. Indeed, the phrase seems to be beyond tlie realm
of definition. We believe the device to be improper and, as we
have said before, even dishonest.
According to a report by the Oregon Journal's Washing
ton bureau the cost to the taxpayers would amount in 50 years
to as much as S I billions. Nor. lot it bo noted in passing, would
that be the total for if the device is approved here it will be
used in the Colorado and other basins and run to many more
billions. The present state of the national economy forbids the
addition of such further burdens to the taxpayers' load.
The Journal bureau says that Senator Cordon opposed this
interest component use in committee hearings anil we hope
that his opposition will be oxnressccl. also mi iim

lar upward the Oregonian does not guess but whatever the
lignre may uc it is just what the taxpayer would have to pay
it the con,,ioncnt went for subsidy purposes. On the other
hand, since power costs are only n minor (and even, we think
it fair to say, comparatively insignificant) share of indus
trial costs the item could easily be borne without injury to the
basin's competitive position.
Low cost power is important only in the electro chemical
and electro metallurgic industries. Northwest rates, however,
with all the chargei included that are paid bv power elsewhere
can meet competition in these fields.
This is a big subject one of the most important to come
before congress in this session. There is much about it that
because ul its complexity, is not generally understood Our
hope is that it will be worked out lor the benelil of the whole
country rather than for a section.
By Peter Edson
(NBA Waahinitton CorrcHpondent)
Washington (NEA) President
Truman's program of aid lor un
derdeveloped countries has had a
hard time catching on. It was
Iirst proposed as "point IV ot
his Inaugural message in Janu
ary .1949. Now gradually, point
IV is gaining recognition as one
of the best answers available to
the riddle of how to promote
world peace and counter Russian
communist propaganda among
the more backward peoples.
The battle to get point IV en
abling legislation before congress
has been long and bitter. It has
been necessary to reconcile the
conflicting views of the U. S.
chamber of commerce and Amer
icans for Democratic Action, of
Rep. Christian A. Herter of Mas
sachusetts, Jacob K. Javits of
New York, and Helen Gahagan
Douglas of California.
The final bill Introduced by
house foreign affairs committee,
John Kee of West Virginia repre
sents a compromise. It is called
An act lor international develop
ment." Or for short, the "AID"
bill.
If passed, It will authorize .the
president to make contributions
for technical assistance to under
developed countries through the
United Nations, the World Health
organization, Food and Agricul
tural organizations, the Organi
zation of American Slates suc
cessor to the Pan-American un
ionor other International bod
ies.
Agencies of the U. S. govern
ment like department of agricul
ture, public health service or bu
reau of reclamation would be au
thorized to furnish assistance on
request from these international
organizations, after approval by
the president. It Is expected that
about 40 per cent of the point IV
program will be In this form of
assistance through international
organizations.
The other GO per cent would be
direct aid, furnished to the under
developed country by the United
Slates, after the signing of a bi
lateral agreement between the
two countries.
If the assistance could not be
furnished by government em
ployes, tlie president would be
authorized to make contracts
with any person or corporation
these pri
vate ctmlracls couid run for not
three. years. They would
have to be limited by funds ap
propriated by congress for this
put pose.
l'or first-year operations of all
these point IV programs, $l."i.0OO.
000 has been requested. This as
sistance would be made available
only on request of a foreign gov
ng to eminent. The country receiving
the aid would have to agree to
pay a fair share of the cost. What
constitutes a fair share Is up to
the president.
The Kee bin provides tnai
agreements made with underde
veloped countries may specify
that U. S. government or private
American investors will preserve
as well as develop the resources
to which they are given access,
observe local laws, pay a fair
share of local taxes, and nego
tiate adequate working conditions
for the native labor.
On the other hand, the coun
tries receiving investment aid
would have to guarantee no con
fiscation of property without just
compensation. American invest
ors would also have to be guar
anteed convertibility of their
earnings, freedom to manage
their properties, non-discriminatory
taxation, and assurances of
physical security. i
What all this amounts to is
really an authorization to con
tinue on a broader scale what U.
S. government agencies have
been doing for the past 10 years
and what private groups like
Rockefeller Foundation have
been doing for even longer.
The private developments have
been largely in the field of health.
The government's programs have
been administered by the insti
tule of Inter-American affairs
and the interdepartmental com
mittee on scientific and cultural
cooperation.
Out on the Farm
By 11a S. Grant
April 3 Several days ago, we
started saving eggshells for East
er goings-on. It's easy to remove
an egg from the shell by break
ing a small hole in one end, we
discovered. Eggs broken in this
manner can even be separated.
The white comes out first, and
often the yolk is unbroken.
The Young Man Is going to
make some of Mrs. Sugden's
"cascarones," which are hollow
eggs decorated and filled with
candles, as you. may have read
in The Bulletin. They make at
tractive favors for children's par
ties, or may be mounted on card
board and used as place cards.
We're going to use some of
the eggshells for molding fruit
gelatine dessert. The clear colors
are just right for Easter eggs.
A collection of them, arranged
on a platter, makes an attractive
Easter dinner centerpiece. The
hostess can have dessert plates
and a bowl of whipped cream
handy in the kitchen, and the
"eggs" can be served as a finale
for Easter dinner. Lime, lemon,
cherry, raspberry and orange gel
atine make a colorful assortment.
It isn't hard to use lots of eggs
these days for lenten meals, so
there should be plenty of shells
by the end of the week.
One of our favorite oven dish
es is cheese fondue. To serve
four, I use.l cup milk, 1 cup
soft bread crumbs, 'A cup grated
cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, lk
teaspoon salt, teaspoon pep
per, 3 egg yolks and 3 stiff-beaten
egg whites.
Scald milk in double boiler;
add crumbs, cheese, butter, and
seasonings. Stir in unbeaten egg
yolks. Carefully fold in egg
whites. Pour into greased baking
dish, set in pan of hot water, and
bake in moderate oven (325 de
grees) until mixture will not ad
here to a knife, about 30-45 minutes.

Compromise Due
In Plane Dispute
Washington, April 3 U'i Dip
lomatic quarters here expect Bri
tish courts In Hong Kong to com
promise conflicting U. S. and Chi
nese communist claims to 70 dis
puted transport planes.
Eventually, they said, the
courts will give 31 of the planes
to the Chinese reds and 39 to
Gen. Claire L. Chennault, organ
izer of the famed Flying Tigers.
Such a settlement probably would
please neither side. .
The British are trying to get
along with both the United States
and the Chinese communists, and
are frankly worried about the
problem.
The disputed aircraft were sent
to nationalist China under lend
lease. When the nationalist forc
es on the mainland tottered and
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
fled to Formosa, the planes were
stranded in Hong Kong.
Chennault quickly bought the
planes, but the Chinese reds
claimed them as the rightful
property of the government of
China. It is up to the British
courts in Hong Kong to settle
the dispute.
British authorities say 31 of
the planes were owned 80 per
cent by the nationalist govern
ment and 20 per cent by the Pan
American Airways.
When the British tried to have
the planes moved from Hong
Kong, they say, Pan-American 1
balked on the hope of doing busi
ness with the communists. Final-

Bureau of Land Management
Reports Good Collections
Washington. April 3 iuv Ma
rion Clawson, director of the bu
reau of land management re
ported today that during fiscal
1949 his agency collected over
$37,000,000 for the federal gov
ernment.
This, he said, was a ratio of
$7 received for every $1 spent.
Clawson said all tne money
collected didn't go to the federal
government. $13,300,000 went
back to the states and counties
within whose boundaries the land
lies.
Clawson said the high return
on the government's investment
was due to the "streamlining"
of the agency during the year
and the de-centralization of its
work. This, he said, accounted
for large savings to the taxpay
ers and made the BLM admin
istration of land more profitable.
The bureau of land manage
ment is now able to give better
service to its customers the
American people," Clawson said
in his annual report, under the
decentralization plan, the bureau
of land management's goal is a
dynamic program for resource
management.
Clawson said the bureau col
lected a total of $37,149,433 from
customers on the public domain,
which consists of 180,000,000 acres
of public land in the continental
United States: 290,000,000 acres
of public land in Alaska; 50,000,
OOO acres of privately-owned land
on which the government holds
the mineral rights, and the leas
ing of mineral rights on all other
federal land, totaling about 700,
000,000 acres.
Largest In History 1
Clawson said this collection
was the largest in the history of
tne agency, or Its two predeces
sors, the general land office and
tne grazing service.
He credited this rise in col
lections to two phenomena: High
er prices and, more important,
increased use of the public do
main by citizens. He pointed out
that the amount of petroleum

Photography
With the advent of Spring
we can expect quite a little
more sunshine than we've had
the past few months. And with
more sunshine, , we can expect
more and more .pictures to be
taken, and what could be
more logical tha.n lots of good
color pictures when the sun
shine comes.
Kodacolor Film makes it
possible for the owner of an
ordinary roll film camera to
make color negatives at rel
atively low cost and almost as
easily as black-and-white neg
atives. This film is Intended
primarily for exposure in sun
light and can be used with the
simplest types of folding and
box cameras. Blue flashlamps
approximate daylight in color
quality and can be used to sup
plement daylight or as the sole
light source when daylight is
not available.
After exposure your film is
returned to the Camera Depl.
at Symons Bros, and we in
turn send It to the Eastman
Kodak Company for develop
ment to negatives. The origi
nal price of the film includes
development to negatives, but
does not include the making of
Kodacolor prints.
The Kodacolor Process re
produces color with sufficient
fidelity to afford attractive col
or prints and enlargements.
It is not intended for making
of color records or for match
ing or measuring colors;
If you use a Brownie, Ko
dak Vigilant Jr., Jiffy Kodak,
or other simple camera, take
Kodacolor pictures only of sub
jects in bright, direct sunlight.
Use the largest lens opening.
Do not take pictures of mov
ing subjects or of people part
ly m bright sun. partly in
shade. Stands at least 8 feet
from the subject unless your
camera can be set for shorter
distances.
If you use a camera that is
adjustable for shutter time,
lens opening and distance, set
the shutter at 150 second and
lens opening at f it for aver
age subjects in bright sunlight.
When the sun is hazy, with
soft shadows cast, set at l,'5n
second, f 8 for average sub
jects. If in doubt about sub
ject color or light, use a lens
opening of f8 instead of f11.
Focus carefully.
The light should be coming
over the shoulder of the pic
ture taker toward the sub
jects. Light from the side, the
back or directly overhead
causes objectionable shadows
unless a supplementary flash
Is used.
Mid-morning and mid-after-,
noon are recommended, bo
not take Kodacolor pictures of
people within tlie two hours
after sunrise or during the two
hours before sunset.
And be sure to get vour
