keeper. Police are still uncertain
how Short got hold of the com
pany's printed checks, but
believe it was apparently by
burglary. Several sheets of
checks were removed from the
center of a large checkbook
so that the loss would not be
discovered for some time. The
amounts were printed on the
checks with the company's
own check writing machine
and in some eases with a com
pany typewriter. However, no
burglary or entry was ever
noticed or reported by th
company. Because of these facts, de
tectives at first suspected an

handiwritings of all company
employees with negative
results.

vestigators at Tacoma, Wash
ington, recently .when Olym-
pia Police Captain H. V. Wil
liamson casually mentioned to
a Salem detective the arrest
of a man in Texas for a similar
check operation in Olympia.
He forwarded a picture of
Short and samples of his
handiwriting to Salem where
he was identified by a tavern
owner as the person who cash
ed a check at his place. This
identification and identifica
tion of the handiwriting by a
handwriting expert proved
sufficient for the grand Jury
to return the secret indictment
and the arrest followed.
Word from Olympia re
ceived Thursday was that
Short had obtained an attor
ney and would refuse to waive
extradition.
District Attorney Kenneth
Brown said extradition pro
ceedings would begin against
Short soon.

Lack of a water code for
western Oregon was cited by
the governor as one of the many
problems the committee would
be faced with.
"Wells are being dug and
subterranean water is being
utilized without any control by
the state. We take a page from
the experience in California
where large areas, formerly
blessed with what seemed to
be an ample water supply, are
now arid and unproductive aim
ply because there was no gen
eral plan of control," he said.
Governor Patterson aaia mat
it was his hope that the com
mittee would attack the prob
lem as an Oregon one, and
work out a plan for conserva
tion of water resources now
available and endeavor to cor
relate the many uses of water.
He cited the Montana water
code as an excellent one to
study, saying that he under
stood it was the most forward
looking document that had yet
come forth from any state.
The governor told members
of the committee that he did
not think that they could "lick
the problem in the next 18
months but that he expected
the committee to come up with
some recommendations for con
sideration by the 1955 legisla
ture.
Members of the committee are
Lyle Watts, retired federal for
ester; LaSell E. Coles, Prine-
ville, manager of the Ochoco
Irrigation project; J. W. Bar
ney, city manager of Hillsboro
and a member of the Willam
ette Valley Basin commission;
Frank McColloch, former state I
public utilities commissioner,
now an attorney in Portland;!
Kenneth W. Sawyer, chairman
of the agriculture committee of
the Portland Chamber of Com
merce; Gen. C. T. B e e c h e r,
retired marine corps general
and J. D. Bennett of Ontario.
2. His committee would pro
ceed promptly to consider it
"late today, tonight or tomor
row." . .
Reed said he did not know
how much of an increase the
President would seek. -Breakfast

He made his announcement
after a conference oi commit

Martin s office. -
Eisenhower Invited both Re
publican and Democratic lead
era to the White House for
.breakfast and, with Humphrey
and Budget Director Joseph M.
Dodge, went over the govern
ment's fiscal situation with
them.
He asked no commitment
from them, and they left with
the understanding they would
consult among themselves and
with other legislators at the
capitoL.
Series of Huddles
Back at the capitol, there
was a quick series of huddles.
Chinese prisoners of war are shown debarking at
Inchon. Thej are part of first group of 2400 North Korean
and Chinese POWs to be transported toward repatriation
from Cheju-Do and Koje-Do. They are leaving an LST
to board a waiting train which will take them to hold
ing point where they will await start of "Operation Big
Switch!" (AP Wirephoto via Radiophoto from Tokyo)
House leaders indicated will
ingness to take up the matter
figuring it would mean no more
than a week's delay in adjourn
ment of Congress.
Rep. Cooper (D., Term.) said
there was an understanding
the Ways and Means Commit
tee would begin hearings on a
bill Monday. Cooper is the
ranking Democrat on the group.
The attitude of Senate lead
ers was less clear. Several in
fluential senators are strongly
opposed to lifting the debt ceil
ings, and the Senate i rules per
mit unlimited debate.
Sen. Knowland (Calif.), act
ing Republican leader, hinted
Congress may not meet its Sat
urday adjournament deadline
because of "recent develop
ments.'- -

When they came down they
walked upright, with no shells
to fear.
