Parental Training
Held as Essential
Back' from the 40th annual
convention of the National Pro
bation association at San Fran
cisco Mrs. Nona White, county
probation officer declares the
feeling lingers with those study
ing juvenile problems that in
numerous cases the delinnuenrv
of the child is traceable to de
linquency in parental training
and if these adult problems are
ironed out much juvenile delin
quency would disappear with
them.
She expressed the belief that
handling of delinquency in Ore
gon and Marion county is on a
level somewhat above that in
many,other slates but that there
is considerable room for im
provement. Siie said the tionrral nnininn
was that juvenile delinquency
has decreased some during the
past year with post-war read
justments coming along but
there is great need for pre-de-linquent
clinics and juvenile de
tention homes where diagnosis
may be made of the problem
child and steps taken according
ly. Such a home and clinic is
soon lo be established in Port
land, she staled but homes and
camps are a general need and
will come along as people realize
what a definite factor they can
become in meeting the diffi
culty of the problem child.
Work to Begin on McNary Dam
Following Formal Dedication
Umatilla, Ore., April 16 W.B Work was begun in earnest today
on McNary dam on the Columbia river following dedication cere
monies in which the widow of the late Sen. Charles L. McNary
turned the first shovelful of ; : : :
speecn curing ceremonies nere
said, "The timely and logical
sand.
The dam will cost $180,000,
000 and will be one of the larg
est power output dams in the
world. It will have an initial
generating capacity in 1952 of
828,000 kilowatts, larger than
the present 648,000 kilowatt
output of Grand Coulee, on the
Columbia near Spokane, Wash.
Col. William J. Ellison, resi
dent engineer of McNary, said
the ultimate 1,380,000 kilowatt
generating capacity of the dam
will place it among the world's
largest hydro-electric output
plants.
McNary dam will have an
overall length of 7400 feet and
will provide a modern highway
over the Columbia river. Its
navigation locks will be 86 by
500 feet with a lift of 85 feet.
' Fish ladders will be installed to

i The Columbia river basin
! alone has a greater hydroelec-

the remaining streams in the
United States combined, Ellison
pointed out. This is figured on
the rate-flow and drop of the
rivers, he said.
Oregon Gov. Earl Snell in a
utilization of the Columbia river
is most important to the econ
omy of the Pacific Northwest."
He said, "It will mark the be
ginning of a great transforma

thousands of acres dry, arid land
will be converted into virtual
gardens of rich and bountiful
crops, and will provide vast
amounts of cheap electric pow-

Wallace Scored
By Dave Beck
Everett, Wash., April 16 UR
There is no place in labor for
communism and communism is
only in the labor movement to
destroy Dave Beck, internation
al vice president of the Team
sters' union, told the Everett
Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
'Labor and industry must
fight communism on a common
ground whether it be in the
halls, out in the street or in the
gutter," the labor leader told
tbe Everett group.
. Beck also struck out at Henry
Wallace, former vice president
of the U. S saying "No citizen
of American government, re
gardless of the high office he is
associated with, can be excused
for traveling in foreign coun
tries and preaching a philosophy
that will create dissention in
his country and weaken repre
sentatives of our government in
their efforts to avoid national
peril."
In 1940, 12 per cent of Amer
ican girls between 15 and 19
years old were married com
pared with two per cent in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales and
one per cent in Ireland, Nor
