Sweetland told the newly formed Umatilla County Democratic Club. The commission has failed to push investigations into industrial" developments "because it might disturb somebody's present advan tages," he said. There has been no effective promotion to bring industry to Oregon, Sweetland said, adding that the commission "doesn't dare propose the establishment of the smallest public power district" in the face of disapproval by private power companies. He also said that on this seven man commission, only one person is from Eastern Ore-op.

(Chip) Bohlen, as ambassador to Russia, which has been formally submitted when there was advance knowledge of opposition from Senate , GOP leaders. .. After . Bohlen was confirmed, leaders reached an agreement with White House aides that they would be notified in advance of con templated appointments. In the case of Bowie, Dulles is reported to have told the GOP chieftains he already nad promised Bowie the job and did not feel he could renege.

Gov. Paul Patterson was in- formed by Col.
