Rival Agencies Squander
Millions, Hoover Declares
New York W) A Hoover commission expert claimed today
that "billions of dollars are being squandered on duplicating,
badly engineered projects" by the army engineers and the depart
ment of interior's bureau of reclamation.
The projects Include work on irrigation, flood control and
-power development, said Leslie
I A. Miller, chairman of the na
tural resources committee of the
Hoover commission.
Miller, writing in the Saturday
Evening Post, said the estimated
cost of water-resources-development
projects now in the con
struction and planning stages is
placed at $52,706,500,000.
Herbert Hoover, former presi
dent and now head of the com
mission on organization of the
executive branch of the govern
ment, wrote a preface to Miller's
article, saying:
"Opposition to effective cor
rective measures is already
rampant . . . the battlers for the
bureaus must be overcome by
sheer force of public opinion If
our free system is to be saved
zor ruiure generations."
Miller made four principal
charges against the army engi
neers and the bureau of reclamation:
1. The two agencies are so
violently jealous of each other
that an extravagant and wholly
senseless competition has sprung
up.
"2. In their indecent zeal to
extend their empires, both agen
cies are guilty of underestimat
ing apparently deliberately
Hie cost of projects they propose
to build.
"8. Both agencies stoop to de
ception m furtherance of their
efforts to stake out claims on
projects. . . ,
"4. Both aganoies are guilty
of braaan and pernicious lobby
ing to achieve their ends."

Margaret Pays
Vatican Visit
Vatican City, May 11 (U.R)
Princess Margaret of Great Bri
tain, demure in a long sleeved
black dress, came to the Vati
can today as a member of the
Protestant royal family to call
on Pope Pius XII.
The 18-year-old princess call
ed at the seat of the Roman
Catholic church despite expres
sions of disapproval by repre
sentatives of tens of thousands
of English Protestants.
However, the plans for the
papal audience were reported in
London to have the tactic appro
val of Margaret's father, King
George VI. Church quarters here
said that because of her royal
position the visit would "as
sume an official character."
The tall, resplendently unifor
med Swiss guards at the gate
snapped to attention as the cars
drove through. But some of the
pomp and ceremony incident to
a rtiyal visit was missing.
Margaret wore the traditional
costume of women being receiv
ed by the pope high-necked,
long-sleeved black dress.
Aptitude Tests
To Prisoners
The Oregon Prison associa
tion has begun to give vocation
al aptitude tests to young in
mates of the state penitentiary
connection with the new
work program in the institution,
it was revealed Tuesday at tne
May meeting of the association
held in Portland.
Mrs. Claire A. Argow, asso
ciation executive secretary, told
her board of directors of the
tests and of the "excellent co
operation" she has been receiv
ing from Warden George Alexander.
Mrs. Argow said Alexander
estimated between 300 and 350
inmates under 24 years of age
are in line for the aptitude ex
aminations. In addition, Alex
ander has requested that all
prison newcomers, regardless of
age, take the test.
They are being given, Mrs.
Argow explained, to determine
inmates' aptitudes for tasks that
may be assigned to them under
senate joint resolution 18 of the
last legislature. The legislation
permits such work in the prison
as may be deemed proper by the
board of control.
The association board voted
unanimously to continue its ef
forts to obtain parole board ap
proval of a radio interview pro
gram aimed at obtaining out
side jobs for prison parolees.
Lawson McCall, an associa
tion director, cited a letter from
the parole board in which it was
suggested the program be used,
instead, to find employment for
inmates who have completed
their terms. Association officials
expressed the opinion that the
alte r n a t i v e recommendation
would lead their organization
into the case work field.

U of C Savants
Washington, May 11
House spy hunters said today
they have testimony that the
son of a University of California
official helped a communist at
tempt to infiltrate the school's
atomic laboratory In 1941.
The testimony was given in
secret session by Paul Crouch,
admitted former communist of
Miami, Fla., who is scheduled to
testify again at a hearing of the
house un-American activities
committee on May 24. (There is
some doubt that he will appear
then, however. Committee aides
said Crouch was under the im
pression that he had been re
leased from a grand jury subpo
ena in New York but that there
may have been a misunderstan
ding about it.)
"I was active in trying to in
filtrate all scientific research at
the University of California,"
Crouch told the committee last
Friday behind closed doors.
In that project, he said, he
was assisted by the son of the
university official, who drove
him to secret meetings in swank
southern California homes. Be
cause the testimony was taken
secretly, the committee would
not permit use of the official's
name.
The plan. Crouch said, was to
organize the laboratory work
ers into special sections of the
communist party. So secret was
the project, he said, that instead
of using names of individuals,
party communications referred
to them in Greek figures.
