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."

Demos Refuse
To Thank Ike
DENVER 11 The Colorado
Senate has refused to thank Pres
ident Eisenhower for visiting Colo
rado on his drought inspection
trip last month.
The Senate, turned down 18-16
a House-approved resolution ex
pressing thanks to the chief exec
utive. Both branches of the Legis
lature have Democratic majorities.
Eisenhower stopped at Pueblo
more than an hour Jan. 15 and
took a first-hand look at a dust
damaged farm area southeast of
the city.
The Democrats' opposing the
resolution contended the Presi
dent simply was doing his duty.
Rio Grande Croivs Make Life
Miserable for City. 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

Chessman Had
Guard's Help,
Prison Thinks
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. 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.

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.
He estimated 24,000 additional
engineers will be needed for the
road program.
Engineering schools turned out
26,000 graduates last year, but
that met only 60 per cent of the
demand, tileeson told the North
west Conference on Roadbuilding.
Two hundred engineers attended.
Gov. Robert D. Holmes said the
federal road program will mean
some 650 million dollars of road
building for Oregon. He said roads
arc the key to increased tourist
business the slate.
