Salem, Oregon, Monday, February 3, 1957 ' THE CAPITAL JOURNAC Section I Page 8 Oregon Senate Campaign Cost Over$363,879 Jewells and Johnstons . Biggest Washington Contributors WASHINGTON tin - The sena torial campaigns in Oregon and Washington cost at least $663,440, the Senate elections subcommittee reported Saturday. The subcom mittee agreed this was not the entire amount, but said it was un able to determine what the full cost was. Of the $3,445,724 spent on Sen ate campaign battles last fall, the subcommittee said $363,879 was Paid out in Oregon and $299,561 in Washington. A break-down by parties was not given. In both states the Democratic Incumbents were reelected over Republican candidates who ran with the endorsement of the Ei senhower administration. Wayne Worse in Oregon defeated Doug las McKay, who had resigned as secretary of the interior, and in Washington Sen. Warren G. Mag nuson trounced GOP Gov. Arthur B. Langlie. The subcommittee listed Oregon and Idaho as among eight states which received the biggest out-of-state contributions for senatorial campaigns. Leading individual contributors to the 1956 political campaign Were Mr. nnri Mrs nnnroa 1? Jewctt of Spokane, who gave $17,- uuu 10 me itepuDiican party.

Wasco County Found Bright Spot in Econoifiy of Oregon This It the tint of a series of article! condensing and sumniarlz Ine findings of J. W. Forrester Jr., editor of the Pendleton East Ore Konian, In a tour through the slate in which he looked lor economic trends and prospects. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS "Wasco County is one of the bright spots in Oregon's economy, unlike almost anything we have seen," J. W. Forrester, Jr., editor of the Pendleton East .Oregonian, said in opening a discussion of the state of business affairs in all parts of Oregon. He noted the sharp contrast with adjacent Hood River County, where "the pattern has been set for a long time and any change that could come is talked about hopefully but doubtfully." 1 hese side-by-f ide Columbia River counties were chosen by Forrester for opening a series of articles in his newspaper, based on a first-hand inspection trip through the state. This is what he found: Dalles Dam Constructed Wasco County, until 1952. was geared to an economy of agricul ture and wood products manufac ture. Then workers came and built The Dalles Dam across the Columbia River. They were well paid and spent much of their money in The Dalles; in 1955 the Chamber of Commerce said Was co -County had the highest net income per family of any county in Oregon; employment now has dropped from a 2,000-peak to 700, where it will remain until the final generator is installed in 1961, "All the communities that have lived with the construction of dams on the Columbia River Bonneville, Grand Coulee, Mc- Nary, etc. have hoped they would attract industry because of the favorable bus bar rate for power that was available for industries that would locate within their boundaries. None did. Harvey Plant "At The Dalles, one has. Harvey Aluminum Co. is building a plant at The Dalles. It will . . . in pro duction before the end of this year and will employ about 40O people. "Harvey has given Wasco Coun ty the stability it needs in this period of transition" following ending of employment on con struction of the dam itself. But, we find, Wasco County probably isn't going to need it. . . The John Day Dam is about to be bulit." Confident that the projected dam is certain, Forrester noted that from start to finish a Colum bia River multi-purpose dam is a 10-year job. "This is a picture that chamber of commerce sec retaries can dream of..." But this is only a part of the economy. The two million dollar cherry crop lost last year in the freeze is an important segment. And the wheat crop is worth S'i million and livestock another 2 to 2 millin, Much of the Sherman and Gilliam counties' wheat in come also is spent in The Dalles. "The bread and butter of Wasco County's economy is agriculture and wood." Wood Processing For the future, there may be some expanded use of high timber for the county's sawmills and wood processing plants. And, most Important in many minds, is the possibility of getting a deep water channel in the Columbia, to make The Dalles an ocean port. to sum it all up: As it has been for many years, agriculture still is the hard core of the econ omy here and the people know it. They realize that much more can be done with their timber re sources and therein have an opportunity to make a major con tribution to the economy of the state. If they can establish a world port" here for the move ment in and out of commerce from every place to and from the vast Inland Empire, the prosper ity they are enjoying through this boom period may seem infinitesi mal. The Dalles looks like a good place to live for a while." Hood River Contrast In contrast with this "bustle, activity and planning" in Wasco County, Forrester found in neigh boring Hood River County one of the state's smallest in size and population a major factor "about which nothing can be done. Much of the activity that surrounds the fruit crop is seasonal. And the fruit crop apples, pears, cher riesIs the foundation of the county's economy, worth 11 mil lion dollars a year. Lumber, too, is important to the economy and there also is a seasonal aspect because much of the timber is from high areas, in accessible in winter. Sawmills, plywood plant and a hardboard plant, use the timber and installa tion of the hardboard plant a few years ago leads to hope of fuller utilization. Strawberry Comeback Strawberry growing, once all but eliminated by weevils, is making a recovery. But like most coun ties that have their eggs In a small basket," the people are looking for Industrial develop ment. Hood River County has one asset in this: It has a water so pure it has virtually no mineral content at all. Presumably there is some in dustry which needs an abundant supply of pure water. This is a chief hope. The rerouting of Highway 30 around the city has cost some tourist money, Forrester summarizes: "What happens in Hood River County in the future isn't likely to make much of an impact upon the economy of the state of Oregon. But if its orchards and its forests were not there, the loss to the economy of the' state would be irreparable." Man Pinned 21 Hours Between Truck and Tree MARSHALLVILLE, Ga. OH - Frank Hester, 49, spent 21 hours trapped between a tree and the door of a truck. v Doctors at Peach County Hospi tal in nearby Fort Valley said Hester suffered a badly mashed left arm, shock and exposure, but was getting along "satisfactorn-ly." Hester was reading meters for the Flint Electric Membership Corp. Saturday. He stopped his two-way radio-equipped truck and got out to look at a meter. The truck began to roll and an open door pinned him to a tree. Three hours later he heard a broadcast of his disappearance on the truck radio but couldn't reach the microphone. He blew the truck's horn until the battery went dead. Then he waited. Two men found him about noon yesterday after an all-n i g h t search in four counties.

' In New Jersey, there is another gentleman who has purchased every yearly model that Cadillac has produced over the past fifty-three years. These are simply dramatic examples of one of the most remarkable truisms in all motordom: that once a man lake the wheel of a Cadillac, he usually remain at the wheel oj a Cadillac To be sure, a motor car would have to offer many unique virtuej in order to win so generous a place for itself in the affections of so many. And, in the case of Cadillac, we think these virtues are self-evident. There is, first of all, quality. No effort of lyling or design or craftsmanship is ever spared to make Cadillac the finest possible motor car. There is beauty and luxury and performance. The car's magnificent styling and interior coach work have, over the years, brought Cadillac an inbred majesty and elegance that are entirely its own . . . and Cadillac engineering has been the industry's conlanl inspiration. Finally, there is reputation. Never in automotive history has another motor car sustained such an abiding public conviction in its own goodness. And, certainly, these basic Cadillac ingredients have this year reaped their richest harvest. So whether you've been at the wheel of a Cadillac for half a century ... or have yet to spend your first hour in the "car of cars" . . . you should see and drive this newest of Cadillacs.
