Congress Today:
; By UNITED PRESS
The split between President Ei
senhower and powerful members
of the congressional farm bloc
gaped wider today in the wake of
Mr. Eisenhower s renewed- appeal
for a flexible support plan.
Sen. Milton R. Young (R-ND)
declared the Republican, party
"might as well write off" the Mid
west In future presidential elections
if the GOP formally embraces the
flexible program. Young is a lead
ing champion of the present high
rigid support program for basic
crops. . : .:
Mr. Elsenhower said in a radio-
television speech Thursday night
that the farm situation is too "cri
tical" to delay adopting his flex
ible plan. He rapped the action of
the House Agriculture Committee
in tentatively voting to extend the
present high support program for
another year.
Young said adoption of the flex
ible plan would be "legislating an
other depression. Rep. Harold S.
Lovre (R-SD) said the President's
speech would have no affect on the

congressional vote on price sup

farmers" want high supports .con
tinued.
But there was some support for
the President's position. Chairman
George D. Aiken (R-Vt) of the
Senate Agriculture Committee said
the chief executive was "dead
right."

government guarantees prices on

Atomic: A fight over public pow
er is brewing in the House-Senate
Atomic Energy Committee. One
member said it might jeopardize
passage of a proposed new basic
atomic law. The issue is whether
to preclude the Atomic Energy

Jimmy Durante
Not Sure He'll
Like New Hours
By JACK GAVE It
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (UP) "They got
me in a predlctament, James
(Broadway) Durante admitted.
"It's an inlgamer!"
The great man was discussing
the fact that he's g;:ng to do two
half-hour television shows next
season instead of the monthly one-
hour show he has been identified
with tor the past four seasons.
I don't know." he continued.
"whether I'm, expected to be twict
as good or only half as good. Which
way are they cutting me up?
And how good is good? It cer
tainly ain't that last show I did
this season with all them circus
effects. I felt like Barnum and
Bailey without Ringling." ,t
He's Not Mad
Jimmy isn't mad at anyone of
course ne was just kidding.
Seriously," he said. "I don t
know whether It will be easier do
ing two 30-miniite shows every
other week. I think maybe. Then I
think maybe not. -
But I do know this.- With an
hour show, it's the last 30 minutes
that's the struggle. The first half
hour goes by like lightning. Even
it your material am t so good once
in a while, who gets tired of look
ing for a half hour? But that last
30 minutes, even when you got the
best, is an uphill pull.
NBC's realignment of talent for
next fall finds Durante and Donald
O'Connor employed by the same
sponsor. Durante kicks off the first
show about mid-September on a
Saturday night. O'Connor is on at
the same time the following Satur
day, then back to Durante the third
week. Neither is on every fourth
Saturday. Then the rotation starts
again.
I think on one of those off-
weeks once a month I'm supposed
to put a show on fil-Ium." the
comedian said. "But they won't use
none of them during the regular
season. They'll be lor use' next
summer after I'm off the air on
vacation.
I.Ikes Live Shows
"I like doing them live shows. I
get a bang out of them. It's show
business. You do a bad show, of
course, nobody s happy, but when
you've got a good one, it s a real
bang to do it."
The "vacationing Durante is up
to his old tricks. He's working in
a night club again, back at the
Copacabana which he has visited
for years.
'But I only do three club dates
a year," he said. "The Copa, the
Chez Paree in Chicago and the
Desert Inn in Vegas. This time
I'm going up to Boston for a week
at the Latin Quarter, but that's unusual.
"Why do I do it? Well, I've
known all these fellers 30-40 years.
They say, 'Jimmy, won't you come
back just once more for a couple
of weeks?' It s got me trapped
friendship, I mean. I'm getting to
feel like Harry Lauder with all his
farewell tours.

T Yale and Merwin dams are
only two of the points of Interest
on a leisurely one-day loop drive
we took from Portland Into some
of the fastnesses of Clark and
Cowlitz counties, on a motorlog
for The Oregonian and the Ore
gon State Motor association.
In the motor association's
white Ford, we clocked 150 miles
on the round trip, which took
eight hours, counting stops to eat
and to gawk.
. From Portland to Vancouver
across the Interstate bridge It
was familiar territory on 0. S.
highway 99, which would hRve
led the Ford directly to Wood
land, junction for the road to
Merwin dam. But in Vancouver
for novelty we turned instead to
. the left onto state highway 1-T.
- Approaching Rldgefleld. 23
miles from Portland on the
speedometer, we caught a tine
prospect out across the tints to-
. ward the Columbia, paused at an
Intersection inside the city limits
and swung easterly, to tho right,

however; so we crossed the

the old Pacific highway, which
now seems narrow and winding
in contrast to its replacement
Abandoned gns pumps and dance
halls along the way attest the
spotty traffic now that there's a
straighter road.
Woodland, home of showplace
lilac gardens, is the junction for
the Pl'&L dnms and Yale, and we
headed the white car east over
state highway 1-S. It's ensy go
ing for 12 miles through alternat
ing timber and farmland, with an
occasional glimpse of the Lewis,
its flow harnessed by the two
power dams upstream, to Merwin
dam and picnic grounds.
The picnic area attracts
swarms of people all the summer
long, and It's understandable aft
er even a casual inspection of the
facilities tables and benches for
groups large or small, free elec
tric plates, hot and cold running
water, shade trees, rest rooms,
ball field, swimming, boating,
even a sandbox for toddlers.
Best of all as far as the public
is concerned, it's all free.
The day we were there, the
most popular pastime seemed to
be fishing . for trout in Lake
Merwin. off the top of the dam
itself. GcniM Dave Shore, sispcr
lntenc;?nl of bo.h Yale and Mer

or dumped Into the- lake up
stream,
From Merwin . we continued
east along highway 1-S, which
skims along the hillside high
above 12-mile-long Lake Merwin
to Yale.
Beyond, the highway borders
the reservoir behind Yale dnm,
nine miles long, and at the time
busy with fishermen. There were
reports of a party of six landing
90 trout, all 10 to 14 inches long,
within 15 minutes on opening day
in the lake, one of the North
west's newest
Route Retraced to Vale , '
Cougar is the last settlement.
We went straight ahead a few
miles more, past the Lewis river
guard station; turned around and
retraced the npute back to Yale,
where we turned off for a glance
at mighty Yale dam, one of the
world's highest earth-fill barriers.
There are no facilities for recrea
tion, but visitors are welcome to
gaze in awe at the engineering
feat and admire the view of ML
St. Helens across the lake.
Turbines in the Yale power
house spin to generate 125.090
kilowatts, to make with Merwin
a total of 225,000 kilowatts from
the Lewis. It may be greater yet
in future years, for PP&L has
taken out preliminary permits to
construct dams at Swift creek
and Eagle cliff, both upstream
from Yal.
There is a variety of possible
return routes; we cnose to pass
through Amboy, Yacolt, Battle
Ground, Brush Prairie and
Orchards. . . '
