General Robins
Says Dams May
Be Too Costly
WASHINGTON, "Nov. S5 (Ifl - A
farmer assistant chief of army en
gineers said today the-dams pro
posed in the so-called ultimate plan
for development of the Columbia
River basin may prove too costly
to build. ,
Brig. Gen. T. M. Robins, USA
ret., macic the statement in testi
fying in support ot an iuaho Pow
er ; company plan to build three
low dams on the Snake kiver in
hells canyon on the lanhoOregon
border
. He was under cross examina
tion by Mrs. Jivelyn Coopw,. at
torney lor public power groups, at
a eueral Power Commission hear
ing. Power trom a high dam fav
ored by the public groups, he said,
would be more costly than from
the company, dams.
Airs. Cooper asked him if ' the
government doesn' t plan to build
"nigner. cost aams at other lo
cations. "i dotn't know how far you can
go in that direction," he said, 'be
lore it is more economical to build
steam , plants rather than addi
tional storage dams." ' .
. Ssne asked him if he thought that
point would be reached before
'pnase D" dams in the ultimate
piun are completed. Some XI or
14 dams are proposed in the plan.
"Your guess is as good as mine,"
he said, "but I think you might
reach It at the beginning of the
phase, rather than at the end of it.
None of the phase D dams have
been authorized for .construction,
but they haye been -proposed to
follow completion of the. present
'phase C2" development which In
cludes all completed dams and
those under construction and seven
not yet started. -

be a nurse might receive a convertable four-wheel bike (right) which comes with a shoulder
strap bag full of first-aid essentials, an apron and a nurse's cap. A railroad trestle set with sup-

engineers. Junior firemen may find under their trees Are trucks (left) that feature four-foot exten

kits designed to foster interest in good grooming. Other toys can be found that feature making
a game of tooth brushing, tidy eating and going to bed.

SALEM, Nov. 25 (IB State Real
Estate. Commissioner Al J. Crose
today -warned all property owners
in Oregon to' be on guard against
non licensed persons who contact
them regarding sale of their prop
erty..; i ' ;.
'Crose said their method of oper
ation follows a pattern generally
like, tltis: A representative of an
out-of-state concern calls on a pros
pect to list his business. In many
cases the prospect has previously
received some literature asking
him if he; wished to sell and has
filled out a card and mailed it to
the' concern In California, Chicago
or some other out-of-state point.
The company representative shows
the prospect a large, impressive
catalog, containing pictures and
descriptions of thousands of busi
ness properties of all kinds located.
ln;every part of the United States, j
The prospect is told that if listed
with -'the company his property
will . receive . nationwide publicity
through this -catalog. He is usually
tola . that 'an additional coverage
will 'oe' obtained througn newspap
ers and radio advertising, .
tyfo then is-asked-lo sign a listing
contract which calls for the pay
ment -of an advance retainer fee
for proposed service. This contract
is not: exclusive in nature, and the
property owner Is told that he will
have the privilege of selling the
property himself. However, if he
does, he cannot recover the initial
fee paid. In most instances, Crose
said the contract provides that 16
the property is sold to a prospect
secured by or through the efforts
of 'the company, the advance re
tainer fee is applied as a portion
of 'the commission that will be
Charged for the sale.
Many complaints have been re
ceived by, the Oregon real estate
commissioner from individuals who
have ,paid such advance retainer
fees and have received little or no
service for this payment.
Crose said that so far represent
atives of these companies have not
been licensed in Oregon and there
fore are not legally authorized to
engage in the real estate Business
in this state. Action against such
violators has been taken where
they have been apprehended, but
it is not always possible to catch
them as the complaints too many
times come after the operator has
left the community, Crose said.
As a matter of self-protection,
Crose advised every property own
er to demand that any representa
tive of such a company show his
pocket identification card to prove
that he is licensed to ao Dusiness
in Oregon. Every duly licensed real
estate broker and salesman is sup
plied with such a pocket card.
Croso further recommended that
if there is any doubt in the mind
of the property owner that he con
tact his attorney, nanKer, some re
liable real estate broker, tne dis
trict attorney or the real estate
commission before he pays any ad
vance retainer tee or signs any
contract. i

Edgar Bergen 'in Training'
For Eventual Show on TV
NEW YORK,. Nov. 25 (IB-Edgar
Bergen, a big thing on radio these
many years, is in training for tele
vision, but he still doesn't know
when he'll get around to it.
"When I do, it will be under a
contract that calls for both radio
and TV," said the master of Mas
ter Charlie McCarthy. "Last spring
I thought we might do some tele
vision this season, but it looks now
as though it won't be until next
fall at least."
Bergen's "training" consists of
several dates in night clubs around
the country to enable him to get
back to a fundamental of ven
triloquismnot moving his lips
when he talks for Charlie, Morti
mer Snerd and his other dummies.
"Fifteen years in radio where
the sight value meant nothing
caused me to get very lax in the
matter of the lips," the CBS star
explained. "And it's something you
just don't resume overnight. You
have to practice."
Bergen also has been showing the
customers at the Empire Room of
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel during
his local engagement a preview of
a new member of his "family"
who is especially designed for television.
This is a life-size dummy named
Podine Buffington, a real glamour
gal who looks as though she could
sit down at any ringside table and
be the life of the party.
"Podine, of course, has no value
at all . on radio," Bergen said.
"You have to see her to appreciate
her and she'll come into her own
on television."
