Cordon Blasts
CVA Proposal
Washington, Oct. 22 W)Sen-
ator Cordon (R-Ore) said today
the session of congress lust rins
ed "was the most extravagant in
history."
'Here," he said, "the whin nf
the executive was directly re
sponsible. 'The Truman program from
the opening messaee to the rinv
of adjournment was a calculated
scheme to garner for the execu
tive department more and more
dictatorial and arbitrary Dow
er," cordon told a reporter. "It
oecame so raw that even stal
wart administration democrats
rebelled.
No better example of this
philosophy of the administration
can be found than is embodied
in the president's Columbia Val
ley administration bill which is
a bid for power run riot."
Cordon referred to Mr. Tru
man's proposal to set ud a CVA
to develop the Columbia river
Basin in seven northwest states,
wmcn wuuin De Headed by a
board of three members appoint
ed Dy tlie president.
Cordon said the session
"dragged on far longer than was
necessary chiefly because the
democrats, who had a control
ling majority, could not agree
among themselves or with the
administration on a program."

Lebanon A. J. Walker, Lebanon farmer, comes to town
twice a week driving Molly, 14-year-old mare, who is indif
ferent to the hazards of traffic. Molly and the shay occupy a
full parking meter space and this is frequently the cause of
good natured argument between Walker and members of
the police force. Walker contends that in pioneer days
an ordinance was passed requiring the city to furnish hitching
racks, that the ordinance has never been recinded, and that,
since there are now no racks, Molly is entitled to free stand
ing space wherever it may be found. Chief of Police Cliff
Price, who is hazy on this point, still maintains that Molly is
entitled to a ticket, and slips one under her bridle. "Molly
will never pay that fine, Chief," Walter insists, "You'd just
as well arrest her right now."

Car Registration
At All-Time High
An all-time high registration
of 638,873 motor vehicles was
recorded in September, the of
fice of secretary of state report
ed today.
Registrations exceeded the to
tal for the same period last year
by 10 percent and topped those
for all of 1948 by 38,000.
The break-down showed 44,
544 more passenger cars, 7888
more pickups, 3743 more trucks
and 323 more motorcycles than
at this time last year. Buses, on
ly vehicle classification to show
a decrease, dropped 145.
The office said registrations
have gone up 50 percent since
the end of 1945, giving "plenty
of reason why chance-taking by
drivers or pedestrians is more
dangerous than ever." It added
that 1948 traffic accidents were
53 percent greater in number
than those reported in 1945.

TOLD STORY IN OREGON CITY
Army Deserter for 47 Years
Turns Self in to Avoid Hiding
Fort Lewis, Wash., Oct. 22 M") Forty-one years of hiding from
Uncle Sam's military police ended here Thursday night for 65-year-old
Ray H. Wheaton.
Wheaton turned himself in to the duty officer at this army post
with the explanation "I've been a deserter since 1908 and I can't
stand it anymore."
He told Maj. F. D. Lowe,
t adjutant general, that he
deserted at Newport News, Va.,
m October, 1908, to avoid trans-
fer to Cuba with his signal corps
company.
He had been recovering from
tropical fever contracted during
previous Cuban service and did
n't want to go back "so I took
the only way out."
"I wrapped my uniform a-
round a rock, dropped it in a
canal and started walking. I
haven't stopped since. Luckily I
didn't have a family to dis
grace when I deserted, anyway."
Now white-haired and show
ing his years, Wheaton said he
enlisted at Sioux City, Iowa, in
1906.
"The time I should have turn
ed myself in was during the first
world war," hetold Maj. Lowe.
"I kept moving too fast to get
drafted and then I got afraid."
Last week he reported to the
sheriff's office in Oregon City
and was advised to give himself
up to the army. He hitchhiked
to Fort Lewis arriving Thurs
day night.
Mapor Lowe said if Wheaton's
records check with his story he
will be granted an adminlstra
tive discharge.
The statute of limitations has
expired, he said, and the only
official action is to give him a
dishonorable discharge and get
him off the roles as a deserter.
This probably will be completed
at Fort Lewis.'
Thomas A. Edison lit the
world's first electric light on a
Sunday afternoon in October.
1879. He watched it burn until
Tuesday noon, and then delib
erately burned it out by increas
ing the current.
