TRUMAN, LIFE AND THE EAST OREGONIAN This Columbia river diversion plot is thickening. La'st week, at a conference with three Californians, President Tru- v man told them that the solution ot their water shortage prob lem was "to pump surplus Columbia basin water" into their state. While talking, according to the news report, he pulled a folder from his desk and took therefrom "a map showing the water systems of the three west coast states and the prox imity of the mouth of the Columbia to northern California." Asked whether Oregon or Washington "might need the di verted Water in the future, the president is reported to have been fairly positive in saying no."- -, Thus there goes into the record, months before the recla mation bureau study of the proposal is completed and a re port made, a Truman indorsement. Obviously, with a map at hand and a ready proposal for a Columbia diversion to care for the California shortage, the president has already been briefed on the subjept and "sold a bill of goods." . With whom has he talked, we wonder ? And with whom did LIFE magazine talk in preparation for the article in the current (August 21) issue on "U. S. Water"? In it is more of the thickening of the plot for, as obviously as is the case with Truman, the magazine has been given a part of the story and, letting a, careless research staff and artist work on it, has prpduced a feature article filled with error and misleading assertions. And, in particular, the approach to an acceptance of the Columbia diversion plan. Who has interested himself to put over in LIFE this mis representation of the western water situation ? First to catch our eye in the article was a map in relief of the Colorado river basin showing a dam called "Boulder". The name, of course, should be Hoover. Does this represent simple carelessness or do LIFE, its artist and its editorial staff cling to the mean, cheap gesture made by Harold Ickes? Then there is a map on which region precipitation is shown by colors and ALL of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Cal ifornia are in a shade representing 20 to 40 average annual inches. With this is the assertion that "Precipitation in the U .S. has remained unchanged over the years ". But a few months ago, however, the weather bureau reported a de crease over wide areas as measured in the past 100 years. In the text there is a reference to "bringing water by aqueduct from the moist Northwest to the dry Southwest" and therein there is, to us, what might be called the pay-off. LIFE, like Truman, sees the Columbia diversion as the an swer to the problem of the southwest. We hasten to agree that LIFE offers no editorial discussion of this water sub ject. It seems obvious, however, that its article along with all the other more and more frequent news references to Colum bia diversion is part of a planned program of conditioning the public to the belief that diversion is the thing; LIFE may not be in on the plan but, certainly, it is being used. And now we wait with high interest to read what the Pen-..- dleton East Qregoniiin has to say about its hero, Harry, and his espousal of the Columbia diversion plan. If, as some sug gest, the business is related to the CVA perhaps the Pendleton paper will find it all right, after all. . v : . ; In an editorial last week about the Vancouver "cenaqua' celebration we said that we had not caught up with the mean ing of the word but that it seemed to have something to do with 100 and water. Since then Kessler Cannon, who fol lows the news better than we do, has told us that the word was invented to present the idea of 125 a centennial and a quarter (cen-a-qua) (get it?) since it was the community's 125th anniversary that was the occasion for the affair. So inai s mat. Others Say END OF CVA ISSUE IN IDAHO (Baker Democrat-Herald) The primary last week probab ly marks the end, for two years at least, ot the C.V.A. Issue hs a fuctor In Idaho politics. The 1946 election killed It off lor that long and the 1950 primary gave It an other thumping. Idaho . democrats : nominated antl-C.V.A. candidates for each senate seat to be voted on this year, defeating C.V.A, advocutcs in eacn race. Kepuullcans are vir tuallyall against C.V.A. so this will make it unanimous from a party standpoint. There can be no issue in the , fall campaign with all the candidates feeling mo same way. , This result is far more Impres sive than defeat of C.V.A. sup porters in a November election could possibly be. It in effect re pudiates the national leadership of ttie nemocratic parly, meaning President Truman, his cabinet, national chairman and oilier henchmen right at the grassroots of one of the three stales in which the Columbia valley is lo cated. When the impact of this vote hits congress it will be very heavy. It will be evident that the demand for C.V.A. comes from bureaucrats in Washington and not from the people of the Colum bia valley. It will also be evident that C.V.A. is not the winning is sue some opportunists thought it was, but a one way ticket to the political graveyard. Other than C.V.A. the rejection of Glen Taylor means a marked decline in the radicul Influence he radiated in the democratic party, which unfortunately caught on with some of its elements. The right wing of the party will be tremendously strengthened and may now be expected to become dominant again.

From now on. it win concentrate on turning out kill ers trained under actual combat conditions. Among other things, army offi cers said, this moans elimination ot "panty-walsf nsccts of basic training and return of the rough and ready top sergeant. Army sources gave no reason for the shift In training empha sis, but it apparently stemmed from experiences with green troops in Korea. Some officers are said to feel casualties and confusion would have been reduc ed If the men had been trained under fire. Gen. Mark Clark, commander oi tne army's field forces, already has said he will reduce the basic training period from 14 to fi weeks by eliminating all "non-es sentlals. From now on, he said, troops will be given intensive training under "realistic condi tions" so they will be ready to face the "communist murderers were up against In Korea." l lie shortened course, he said, will Include- such "real" discipline as crawling under barbed wire with machine gune bullets and live artillery shells whining over-' head. Clark admitted that some train ees may be lost through "acci dents" nut he claimed battlefield losses would he cut down greatly. Building Permits Show Increase Print-vine.

And Just as sure as the world, fall is Just around the comer. .;. - ,.- It's hard to believe, but there' are people who heva never been to a county fair. Just as there must be folks who. have never tasted- fresh blueberry pie, or watched the sun paint the early morning heavens, or sniffed the fragrant, new-mown hay. . Of all the festivals of the year, none brings back more memories than the county fair. Years ago, it seemed as exciting as a trip to the moon, to drive the 13 miles to Redmond. When the, family car made the last turn in the road; the thrills, followed In rapid succession. . ,. - Eyes danced at the sight of the colorful Indian village, at the edge of the fairgrounds. Then the tall ferris wheel loomed high above the carnival's magic city of lights and gaiety. And finally, we'd be driving through the fair ground gates, and the adventure would start to unfold. - r In- those days, the fair was held later in the season, several weeks after school had started. "Bend day" was always on a Friday, and school was recessed for the afternoon. That half-Cay holiday, like a gift from heaven, seemed like a belated extension of the summer vacation, all the more to be cherished because the , Grant days were starting to get short er, ana tne warm xnaian sum mer afternoons were numbered. It's natural enough that tastes change with the passing of the years. I used to think that the middle-aged people were peculiar indeed, to linger over the pens of fat hogs and cud-chewing cows, when the enchantment of the carnival was such a short dis tance apart. Now it's the live stock that I enjoy most of all. The Chief was Intrigued by the huge display of farm implements, and it was all we could do to get him past- the jlnes of trac tors, wagons, discs, harrows, seeders, manure-spreaders, hay balers and equipment for every farm chore imaginable. Watching the Young Man ex perience all the little-boy thrills of fair time was half the fun. I guess everyone tries to re-live his own childhood, in that of his offspring. The little fellow had been plan ning for the big event for weeks. Getting ready, he had put three or four coats of shoe polish on his field boots,' rolled his new levis up to his shoe-tops, and donned his pearl-buttoned west ern shirt and white suede vest. Late at night, on the way home, he sighed happily, said "Boy, I had Inn I" and fell asleep in the car. It had been a perfect day. Anderson Nash Agency Bought By Portland Man . W. B.

Paulina Area To Get Power Paulina, Aug, 21 Plans are under way to extend the lines of the Central Electric cooperative, REA organization with headquar ters at Redmond, to this stock ranch district of southeast Crook county, 60 miles up the Crooked river gorge from Prinevllle. Sur veyors have been in the district running lines. Paulina and Post residents are also engaged on a program aimed at having the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. take over farmer-owned lines and supply ranchers and sawmill operators of the district with a modern telephone service. 2nd Hurricane Threatens Coast Miami, Fla., Aug. 21 UP) The season's second hurricane, devel oping rapidly in intensity, moved toward the Virgin islands today with winds up to 105-miles-an-hour as the first big storm grad ually blew itself out off Nova Scotia. . In a 10:30 a.m. EST advisory,' the Miami weather bureau said the storm developed some 1,440 miles east-southeast of Miami. It was located 25 miles east of the small British island of Antigua. "Preliminary hurricane alert advised, for Peurto Rico and a hurricane warning for the Virgin islands," the weather bureau said. "This appears to be rapidly developing into a severe hurri cane with winds of 105 miles an hour near the center." -"The movement of the storm is still uncertain but it is believed to be moving in a west-northwest direction at a rate of eight to 10 miles per hour." The advisory warned all in terests in the northeastern Carib bean area from Antigua to- the Virgin islands to take "all pre cautions as this hurricane ap pears to be developing in inten sity." The season's first big blow de veloped 10 days ago north of the virgin islands, it moved up the Atlantic off the mainland after threatening the Florida resort coast for several days. - In an earlier advisory hurri cane warnings were ordered hoisted from the French island of Guadalupe westward to St. Martin Island.
