author of the measure to divide the
nation into seven authorities simi
lar to TV A told a senate agricul
ture sub-committee today, that It
would be an "economic sin" not to
utilize the hydroelectric power pos
sibilities which would be developed
Incident to the program.
"Most of those who oppose this
measure, oppose It because of Its
power aspects," Norris said, "but I
believe It would be an economic sin
not to utilize the power resources
available."
He said the power phases would
both help pay for the projects and
bring the benefits of electricity to
more people.
Norris appeared as first witness
In the sub-committees hearings.
He emphasized, however, that pow
er development, Incident to the
flood control projects should be sec
ondary to navigation and flood
control "both as a constitutional
proposition and from the point of
view of benefits to the people.
"Some action must be taken to
control floods In the United States,"
Norris said, "and the national gov
ernment is the only power that can
do It.
"The idea is to build big dams,
little dams, all kinds of dams, all
over the country to control these
flood waters."

matter at Salem, Oregon
The plane which swooped down
on Vancouver, Washington, from
Soviet Russia via the North Pole
braved all of the dangers of the
Pole, flew thousands of miles over
the wildest sort of uninhabited
country, pierced storms of sleet and
snow with the temperature below
zero and got by unscathed. But the
three boys from the Soviet found
they couldn't handle a regulation
Oregon mist and alter talcing 50
miles of It turned back into Wash
ington and set their plane down.
Maybe that's why the naval af
fairs committee back in Washington
refuses to give us a naval base at
Tongue point and the army won't
pay a great deal of attention to
military defense for Oregon. Possi
bly they figure we're well enough
protected as it Is what with Oregon
mist and heavy dew.
It's barely possible the fliers
sighted some snow on Table Rock
and figured fooling around over
Oregon wasn t any place to be.
At any rate the three fliers got
into the USA in time for the Brad
dock-Lewis fight, if that is anything
worth flying 5000 miles and over
the North Pole to take a gander at.
It's too bad the weather Is such
that while the boys are in the
neighborhood we can't have them
down here to take a squint at Waits
and Hogg Brothers who were sched
uled to tangle In the softball league
tonight but probably won't because
of wet grounds. Could the Russians
see some of those lads swinging
their bats around a few times
they'd go back with some real stor
ies about the prowess of the giants
who Inhabit the Willamette valley.
a
We talked with a local business
man today and asked him if he was
going to vote at the school election.
He said he wasn't because In the
first place he couldn't vote, not
owning any property, and in the
second place it didn't make any
difference to him one way or an
other. Which indicates one reason
why school elections never seem to
turn out much of a vote among
those who should be deeply inter
ested. In the first place it didn't
make any difference whether thlr
business man owned property or
not, he could vote if otherwise a
qualified elector and lived In the
district 30 days. In the second place
it makes a whale of a lot of differ
ence to any interested citizen how
the schools are conducted. Every
body should get out and vote at ev
ery election or at least not com
plain when it's all over.
The voting hours today are from
3 o'clock to 7 o'clock at the school
administration building, 414 North
High street, and there's still time
for the business man referred to
and others to take advantage of
their citizenship.
But, after all, maybe school elec
tions aren't so important. The Ore
gonian now prints its front page
in large 12-polnt type so any child
can read it whether he's gone to
school or not.
At least, he can look at the near
half page of pictures.

administration forces, ignoring
economy pleas of their own leaders.
rejected today an amendment to the
relief bill designed to put more of
th cost on local communities.
The amendment of the $1,500,-
000,000 measure would have required
states and local communities, where
able, to contribute at least 40 per
cent of the cost of WPA projects.
Just before the test, administra
tion forces won a tactical victory by
rejecting a modification of the
amendment proposed by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, democratic
leader.
Robinson's amendment, which
would have required 25 per cent lo
cal contribution Instead of 40 per
cent, was beaten 49-34.
This forced the final vote on the
original amendment by Senator
Byrnes (D.-S.C.) to require 40 per
cent contribution.
The vote on the Robinson amend
ment, a showdown on the economy
issue, brought one of the strangest
votes In recent years. Republicans
and usual democrats leaders com
bined with new deal critics in dem
ocratic ranks to support the Robin
son amendment, but it was beaten
by a determined rally among young
