Pearson Hit for Crack
At Alaska 'Junket'
Juneau, Alaska, Nov. 19 W)
The territorial fisheries today
lashed out at Columnist Drew
Pearson for his recent criticism
of the visit of the house's mer
chant marine and fisheries com
mittee to the territory
Pearson, who termed the vis
it "a junket" In his article, in
curred the wrath .of Fisheries
Director C. L. Anderson, who ac
companied the committee.
Anderson described the visit
as a "rigorous trip" in which
the committee members "arose
at 4:30 in the morning, ate
catch-as-catch-can breakfasts
and slept in the 'sick bay' of the
Coast Guard cutter "Storis."
He said the party held long
and involved-hearings every day
and had no time for sightseeing.
Ira H. Rothwell, chairman uf
the fisheries board, said that the
committee's trip "was absolutely
necessary" and that "no legisla
tion for the territory is ever
passed unless some group comes
out here.
"We have no representation
ourselves," Rothwell said, "and
this is the only method we have.
Alaska is not exactly a foreign
country, but the trip was a hard
workout."

BPA Continues
$17.50 Rate
Portland, Nov. 19 () Bonne'
ville Power Administration will
continue charging $17.50 a kil
owatt year to its present cus
tomers for the next five years
"In 1954," Paul J. Raver, Bon
neville administrator, told the
Bonneville regional advisory
council, "we expect to have to
increase the rate . . . but not
more than $5 a kilowatt year."
Raver explained that the pres
ent rate lowest wholesale pow
er rate in the nation would
cover costs until the new dams
are completed.
The $17.50 tariff is being ex
tended on all present contracts
Raver said, however, that new
customers might possibly face
higher charges, should an oper
ating deficit develop during the
five years.
Earlier, Raver warned that
private utilities could not be
promised as much guaranteed
power next year, and that they
might get no guaranteed power
at all the following year.
Baruch Fortune
For Pet Project
New York, Nov. 19 OT Elder
Statesman Bernard M. Baruch
plans to leave his fortune to pro
mote his pet project physical
medicine.
"It's a field very close to my
heart," he told an interviewer
yesterday. "I can't think of any
thing better to do with my mo
ney." But he added that it's nobo
dy's business how much money
he has to bequeath. He added
with a smile:
"It's much smaller than you
think. I've spent a lot."
The 79-year-old philanthropist
made millions in his day as a
Wall Street speculator and mine
developer.
But he's already given a lot
of it away for physical medicine
a field of treatment which
uses light, heat, cold, massage,
water, electricity, occupation
work-exercise, muscular mani
pulation and the like to diag
nose and treat disease.
In 1942 he put up more than
$1,100,000 for physical medicine
work, especially among disabled
veterans and other handicapped
people.

Crystal Gardens
Redecorated
Completely renovated and re
decorated the Crystal Gardens,
located at South Liberty and
Ferry streets, is slated to have
its formal re-opening Saturday
night.
New floors have been install
ed on both the upstairs and
downstairs ballrooms and both
ballrooms completely redecorat
ed. The downstairs ballroom,
which is where the modern
dance orchestra of Bill DeSousa
will play, is to be known as the
Tropical Room.
On one wall will be a modern
tropical scene painted by Larry
Boulier. Blending with this will
be the walls done in tropical
coral, a soft turquoise and lime
yellow. The posts in this ball
room will be decorated as palm
trees, and the orchestra pit is of
varied levels.
"Gay Nineties" is the theme
of the upstairs ball room. Here
on one wall is found a series of
gay nineties pictures by Larry
Boulier. The other three walls
are done in teal blue and char
treuse. On the teal blue wall is
a chartreuse trim and drapes of
the same color at the windows
Contrast to the teal blue and
the chartreuse is the dubonnet
ceiling with Indirect lighting
and a center chandelier of Cze
choslovagian crystal. On this
floor, too, is a soft drink bar
and a snack bar. Pop Edwards
and his Old Timers are to play
for the old time dancing in the
upstairs ballroom.
Entrance to the Crystal Gar
dens is now on South Liberty
street with the entrance hall, the
stairways and ramps all carpet
ed. New restroom facilities have
been installed and check room
facilities enlarged. Air condition
ing has also been installed.
Operated and owned by Wil
liam D. Gwynn, the purchase
price and renovating cost of the
Crystal Gardens has exceeded
$100,000. The exterior is not yet
completed, but when completed
will be apple green and along
the South Liberty street side of
the building will be a planting
of evergreens.

1 Truman Told
Emergency Now
Washington, Nov. 19 W)
President Truman's statement
that he will use the Taft-Hart
ley law in the coal dispute if
there's an emergency brought
an operator cry today that there
already is one.
Mr. Truman took his stand at
his news conference late yester
day; he would not say whether
he thinks an emergency would
come with another walkout of
the miners Nov. 30. That is the
end of the present working per
iod decreed by President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers.
Joseph E. Moody, president
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Saturday, Nov. 19, 1949 S
of the southern coal producers
association, replied from Lex
ington, Ky., that "there already
is a national emergency." Moody
added in a speech that Mr. Tru
man "obviously is up against
Nov. 30 deadline even though
he denies the exsitence of a na
tional emergency."
Mr. Truman's stand keep
ing out of the dispute for the
present left the way open for a
new peace between Lewis and
the operators before the pres
ent truce runs out. However, no
immediate conference was ar
ranged and Moody said he saw
no present hope for resuming
contract negotiations.

Washington, Nov. 19 UP) Fed
eral Power Commissioner Mon
Wallgren and the newly chosen
secretary of the interior, Oscar
L. Chapman, apparently stand in
opposing camps on the question
of California power develop

The two men are among Pres

official life. Their differences
involve plans for construction
and operation of proposed hy
droelectric projects on the Kings
river.
The controversy was touched
off November 9, when the pow

build and operate power proj
ects on the river.
The commission declined to
reserve development lor tne
