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.

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.

His Golden Anniversary at theAVheel I
In Texas, there is a gentleman who is currently
driving out his fiftieth year at the wheel of a
Cadillac car.
' 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.
Need we say more?
