Salem, Oregon, Thursday, February 21, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Portland Told Barge Traffic Just Starting Columbia Dam Building Greatly Brightens Outlook Hill PORTLAND Development of the Columbia River as a water traffic route for much of the Pa cific Northwest is just starting, James Hill Jr. told the Portland Propeller Club Wednesday. The Pendleton Grain Growers' plant at Pendleton is a leading user of barges. Hill, manager of the Grain Growers, said dam building along the river has brightened the future. Opening of The Dalles Dam this year, he predicted, will start ocean-going barges moving from rasco and Kennewick, Wash., six or seven months of each year. Hill said the projected John Day Dam might result in year-round traffic by ocean barges. "Then," he said, "when the four dams are built on the Snake Riv er. I can see Lewiston, Idaho, as the seaport for Montana, with a four-lane highway" over the Cas cade Mountains. He predicted that these develop ments would make Pasco and Kennewick, twin Columbia River cities, "become a big city. It can't help it." Hill said that although the oil pipeline from the Southwest will result in some loss of petroleum barge traffic, grain and other products will more than make up for it. "The bottleneck in barge move ments has been at the Portland Vancouver end where facilities for unloading were not capable of getting the barges turned around fast." he said. "This is being cor rected by the Portland Dock Com mission's new installation of un loaders which will triple the for mer capacity."

D wellers By JACK SAMSON I ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. 11 -Rio Grande Valley crows appar-! ently have decided the city offers the best opportunities. I The rascals are cluttering al leys, peering into garbage cans, raiding back yard gardens, dive bombing cats and dogs, stealing I anything the can haul off and making life miserable for lalc- sleeping humans. Anyone who hasn't been jolted bolt upright in bed lately by a raucus croak near the bedroom window, probably can expect it soon. Since there are laws against blasting these noisy creatures out of the trees inside the city lim its, there is nothing to do but turn over in bed and think evil thoughts. - , The invaders also have taken a liking to T Vaerials and perches directly over n e w 1 y-polished autos. They are interesting critters, even if they arc pests. They are small cogs in a society that, in ways, puts to shame ant colonies and even humans. They have squad leaders, company com- j manders. and no one knows how much "brass" of division rank. They assign individuals to guard duty and forage details they even have some assigned to punish and non-conformists. And they have a system of calls that would make a Signal Corps man envious. Some hunters swear that a crow knows to the foot the maxi mum range of every gun made. Even if local citizens were al lowed to shoot them, it would be tough hunting. Now that they arc moving into the city, some people figure it is Longhairs to Jam SAN FRANCISCO W - The San Francisco Symphony, whose mu- sicological hair is about as long as anyone's, will join jazz musi cians for a Dixieland ragtime jam session here March 3.

I -Prison authorities tried Thursday to learn how convict Qnryl Chess man smuggled his latest petition out of a San Quentin prison death row cell. The petition was penciled on toilet tissue. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus turned up Wednesday in Marin County Superior Court and Judge Thomas P. Keating prompt ly denied it. The envelope con taining the petition was mailed Tuesday in San Rafael. Associate Warden Louis Nelson said he could only "assume" that the petition had been sneaked out by a prison employe. "We arc in the process of a thorough check on how the peti tion got out," Nelson said. The convicted kidnaper was put in isolation Feb. 14 for 28 days after he said he smuggled out the manuscript of his third book. He had been forbidden to write any sequels to his best-selling earlier books, "Cell 245, Death Row," and "Trial by Ordeal." Chessman was condemned in 1948 for kidnaping with bodily harm. He also was convicted of sex perversion, attempted rape, car theft, attempted robbery and on eight robbery counts. Barbells for So.

Need 24,000 Engineers on Road Project CORVALL1S HI The federal aid highway program will make even worse the shortage of engi neers, George Glecson, dean of engineering at Oregon State Col lege, said Wednesday.
