Power Crisis While Northwest politicians in and out of Congress are loudly and persistently clam oring for Federal aid In building power dams, privately owned utilities and local agencies are financing and have under contract a vast 4,8 millions k.w. hydro-electric program, as big as anything the region has ever known, which will, when completed, provide ample power for years to come. Details of the projects now underway are printed in the Wall Street Journal of Febru ary 20, written by a staff reporter who visited each of the various projects underway and described them in a half page article from which the following developments are sum marized: Private power companies, together with cities and PUDs are constructing 4,6 million killowatts of hydro-electric power projects. Some are just completed, some under con struction or definitely federally licensed for construction. In comparison, all the Federal dams built in the area in the past quarter of a century from Grand Coulee and Bonne ville, started in 1930's, to McNary, whose last generator has just gone on the line will add up to no more than a like 4.6 million kilo watts. Local projects more than double the 2 million killowatts of federal construction under way. fr i!r -tr ft The BPA admits that any crisis in North west power has been "rolled back", at least until 1964-65. . In the current firm program, the private ' electric companies have 14 projects to supply 2.1 million kilowatts; Hie local governmental agencies such as the P.U.D.'s have assumed primary responsibility for eight projects to yield 2.5 million kilowatts, and the Federal Government has nine projects to produce 2.0 million kilowatts. , Of the projects not definite but "under serious consideration, private companies are looking into dam construction to turn out 2.3 million kilowatts; local public agencies are Investigating projects which would pro duce 1.7 milion kilowatts, and the Federal Government might back ventures yielding 2.7 million kilowatts. Federal dam building has cost the Trea sury $1.7 billion, plus another $1 billion in Northwest dams under contract. In contrast locally-backed dams take no money from the Treasury and privately-built dams produce ' heavy revenues in slate and local taxes and (or Federal Income taxes. it- ft -h Among the projects by Oregon power ' companies are: Portland General Electric Co.Tho North-Far-raday project on the upper Clackamas Mvor proj ect, dam, tunnel, generators, to he completed in 19 months to cost $20 million, add 78,000 kilo watts; the Pellon dam in Central Oregon on the Deschutes River, under construction, to cost $29 million, capacity 120,000 kilowatts; proposed larger Butte dam upstream to cost $55 million to develop 225,000 kilowatts. ,The Pacific Power 4 Light Co. .Swift dam on Lewis River, Wash., to cost $46 million, develops 204.000 kilowatts; adding of 45,000 kilowatts at a cost of 13 million at Mcrwin dam, Lewis River, Wash.; investigating 3 more dams in Washington and Oregon, projects totaling 3.l,000 kilowatts, costing from $80 million to $100 million. California-Oregon Power Co. in Southern Ore gon plans to tunnel a 16-foot channel through a mountain to Big Bend dnm site, from Upper Klam ath Lake to dam to cost $15 million, develops 80,000 kilowatts, first of five Knlamalh projects ' with combined capacity of 320,000 kilowatts. Hydro-electric power development in Washington and Idaho excedes that in Oregon and it due largely to private enterprise, which has properly taken the initiative from federal bureaucracy and is solving the power crisis. G. P. Freedom Radio, or Radio Liberation as it is known abroad seems to be an eloquent and effective upholder of peace and freedom in their literal sense. Retirement Manors Enterprising citizens of the thriving city of Medford announce plans for the construc tion and operation of a $5,000,000 build ing as a retirement home for retired people, located on a hill east of the city, to be known as the "Rogue Valley Manor." Construction is to start this year and it is scheduled to be opened in the late summer of 1958. The "Manor" is sponsored by a non-profit corporation composed of religious, business, professional and civic leaders. It has been planned to take advantage of the expensive, design and operation and knowledge gained from other Manors and Retirement Homes all over the United States, including Oregon. The building will be 10 stories in height, have 284 apartments to house approximately 350 people. It will be located on a 15-acre landscaped site on Barneburg Hill, with scenic views of the valley in all directions. It will be provided with about everything for living in comfort and security, formal gardens and recreation grounds. Methodist, Episcopal and Presbyterian ministers throughout the entire Northwest are cooperating in the completely interde nominational retirement manor. Life assur ance funds are reasonable on life expectancy in years, and on the experience of other manors. Medford has set an example that other strategic situated cities, especially Salem, as the state capitol, should follow. It is badly needed as life expectancy is increasing gen erally, its necessity also increases. It is a much needed project for community coopera tion and a major one for the Chamber of Commerce and our churches to initiate for those entitled to comfort, enjoyment and security in their "golden age."

Of course the Hcds jammed it when it first went into operation in March. 1953. and still try to jam il. Nevertheless it claims technical proof that it delivers an intelligible signal to a majority of the population of the t'SSK. One refugee says that almost everyone in the Soviet Union, from generals lo collective farmers, tries to listen. This appears to he confirmed by groups of Germans returning from Russian slave labor camps, and by west ern travelers who have penetrated the USSR and talked with the people. "Perhaps the most telling evidence of Its effectiveness," it is said, "has been the con tinuing campaign of Soviet vilification direct ed against the anti-Communist emigres work ing with Radio Liberation as well as against its American sponsors." Among Freedom Radio's supporters are distinguished Individuals, not only of the United States, but of many countries, includ ing churchmen, teachers, scientists, states men, bankers, corporation heads, labor lead ers and journalists.

The neculiar make-UD of that court has led lawyers to wonder why thiol justice can warrens tri bunal followed the same reason ing in the Steve Nelson case.

Argued Day After I'enrl Harbor The Alabama litigation escaped general notice because il was argued on December 8. the Monday alter Pearl Harbor. The derision was handed' down in February, l!2. when Japanese victories in the South Pacific distracted attention from domestic matters. Alabama authorities had seized 20.000 pounds of renovated huller from the Clovorlcat Holler Com pany o( Birmingham. On the ground that the Fed eral Pure Food and Drug Act excluded slate action, the firm sought an injunction against the sciatic. Us petition was denied by the Federal District and Circuit Courts, in which it is probable that live or six jurists held for the state an extremely pertinent point in the whole picture. District, Circuit Courts Overruled Despite loose two decisions adverse lo the boiler Interests, the Supreme Court agreed to review, as II said, "because of the important question of Federal law involved." With former Justice Stanley Heed delivering the opinion, a cotiil divided live to lour overruled the two lower courts nod struck down the stale law. Thus, as has happened so many limes, a bare majority on the Supreme Court live men de livered a knockout blow to state sovereignty. The late Chief Justice Hnrlnn Stone entered a vigorous dissent. Ho was joinel by Justice Felix Frankfurter, the late Frank Murphy and former Justice James F. Byrnes. Here is the key ami the amazing sentence in the Heed ruling: "Where the United Stales exercises lis power of tcgtslnlion so as lo ronllict with a regulation of the stale, either .spcctlicnlly or hy implication, the stale u-gislulion becomes inoperative and the Federal legislation exclusive in its application."

S., French Diplomats to Talk 'Break' WASHINGTON UB - The United States and France were as close as a pair of pants until they split over the French mr attack on tbgypt,. last November. ; The pants have badly needed mending ever, since. So when Presj. . dent Eisenhow er and French Premier Guy Mollet meet to morrow the first such meet- JAiwr.s mari.ow ing since the invasion of Egypt it will be like a couple of tailors sewing on a patch. And the result, like any good patch, will probably be satisfac tory but unscnsational. A Clumsy Fumble Mollet was premier when the attack was made. It was a com bined French-British assault ar ranged by Mollet with the then British Prime Minister Eden. It was also one c the clumsiest fumbles in French-British history The White House was equally mad at both men for the attack which infuriated, the Arab world just when the United Stales was extremely anxious to keep the Arabs friendly to the West and away from Russia. Eisenhower and the United Na tions put pressure on the British and I1 rench lo stop the shooting. Both did and left Egypt. But the independent French-British' action caused the first postwar bustup among the three big allies. Ike Gave Cold Shoulder Mollet and Eden very quickly wanted to come here to sec Eisen hower to get things straightened out. That kind of reconciliation so soon wouldn't have looked good to the Arabs. Eisenhower gave the two prime ministers a cold shoul der. In the backwash of that military fiasco, the split between the Unit ed States and Britain, and Eisen hower's aloofness, ' Eden ran into trouble at home and finally re signed, pleading illness. Not so Mollet. a dry, profes sional, colorless French politician. Reports from Parts say the French, even (hough dismayed hy the willingness of their govern ment lo back out of Egypt so fast, admired Mollet for his daring in flowing at all. It if t Can't (in On But the rift between this coun try and its two allies couldn't be pormitlod lo go on indefinitely. And Eisenhower, after talking things over with Mollet, will visit with Eden's successor. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. What sometimes gets lost sight of in concern over the Americnn-Brllish-Frcnch split was why the Rrilish and French, who had worked hand-in-glove with this country, had attacked Egypt on their own without lelltng the Unit ed States. Eden and Mollet were sore at Ihe way Secretary of Stale Dulles had handled Egyptian President Nassers seizure of the Suez Can al. The Rrilish and French didn't want to let Nasser get away with it. Dulles offered some plans for dealing with Nasser. None of Ihem worked. They used up time. And they left Nasser in undisturbed possession of the canal. Eden and Mollet didn't want any more of Dulles delays. So they struck Quarrel Only Temporary But it seemed clear from the beginning that any quarrel of this kind between the United States and its allies could be only tem porary. They need each other loo much in standing off communism to go their separate ways. Hut neither Ihe British nor the French have been in svmpalliv with Eisenhower and Dulles on their handling of Israel, which also attacked Egypt. Eisenhower and Dulles have been talking vaguely about im posing sanctions on the Israelis lor refusing to leave Egyptian ter ritory mi 1 1 1 they gel guarantees from the United Stales or the United Nations that, once Ihov null back, Nasser won't be al lowed lo attack them, as he did in the past. Mollet and Eisenhower will have lo mull over that dilference. Bui, aside from that, there are no basic quarrels between this country and its allies. All three are slill partners. One result of the French-British decision lo go it alone in invading Egypt may he to make Dulles and Eisenhower a little more careful to listen In Ihe British and French when Ihov think as in Ihe case of Suez, their vital interests are at stake. By the same token they'll proh nhly think twice about getting into a war the next time without tell ing this country or getting its support. Very Unclear Crystal W & A DEPRESSION or 1 j ( MIDDLE-EAST HARMONY I Jj fti or disarmament or rk A UNIFIED (TeRrAAMy sV J IHK' f ANYTHING W DAVID LAWRENCE Congress Seeking to Prevent New 'Hot' War in Mid-East by Giving Ike Power r -1 J WASHINGTON These are strange times. A military man is President of the United States, but he's no swash buckler. He's a man of peace. Yet the Con gress, which un der the Consti tution has the sole power to fP 1 3n ncciarc war, doesn't want to exercise, 'that power. II wishes instead to con centrate in the u. LAWRKNCB President all responsibility for us ing Ihe armed forces. What is the reason for this para dox? Is it .partisanship an at tempt to pass the buck by a Dem ocratic congress to a Republican President in a delicate period in world history? There may be some partisanship here and there in the senate but certainly when the Speaker of the House of Representative, Sam Rayburn, Democrat, votes in fa vor of a resolution lo "authorize" the President to use the armed forces in the Middle East if he deems it necessary, there can hardly he good grounds for aVum ing that partisanship is a control ling factor.' Cold War New Challenge The truth is there are many con scientious men in both parties in Congress who have not come to grips yet with the realistic situa tion in Ihe world as it affects the Constitution of the United States. The powers in this great charter of government have long been used to deal with "hot wars" but never before has the challenge come in what is today termed a cold war. The real question before the country is how the Constitution can be used, not merely to fight "hgt wars," but to, prevent a world war from breaking out in an age that utilizes nuclear weapons. There are many instances throughout American history which reveal that presidents have acted without consulting Congress to protect the lives and properly of American citizens in troubled areas of the world. There are precedents that reveal the chief executive as taking military ac tion to repel attack, as President Roosevelt did in the case of Pearl Harbor in 1941, without first seek ing authority from Congress. He did request a few days later a resolution ratifying a "slate of war," just as President Wilson did in entering World War 1 in 1917 or as in 1914 when ordering the Port of Vera Cruz seized by American sailors in a dispute with Mexico. Korean Action Sore Point It will always be debated wheth er President Truman handled the Korean episode correctly. It is true that he ordered sudden inter vention by American forces to re pel the aggression by the Commu nist armies even before the Se curity Council of the United Na tions voted such action. But he failed lo go to Congress to get ratification, and this is a sore HAL BOYLE Stokowski Calls for Higher Standard of 'Inner Living' NEW YORK in Leopold Stokowski, foreseeing the coming nf "an America.) renaissance, called Monday for 'a higher standard of inner living Now ncaring 75, Stokowski, for nearly half a century one of the world's most controv e r s i a 1 s y m p hony or chestra conduc tors, said: "Athens had its great period.

It IS: Sl sfc.ntht, H.St. Onr Vrar IIS M. Today's sad story comes in a newspaper clipping sent in by a reader. It says a child died in the hospital yester day while under going an opera tion for the re moval of tonsils. The hospital pathologist said lilt' ,HOOt.sl It- vcalod that the child had an en-sv larged heart nnd "possible" neph- ' rilis 'kidney in flammation'. Al- "" '"1AI1Y so the autopsy showed the thymus gland was enlarged, resulting in pressure on the windpipe. Only What I Read All I know about it is what 1 read in the newspaper clipping. Be fore 1 sound oft, it is only fair to remind you that in my judgment tonsillectomy, the attempt lo re move every hit of tonsil tissue, is justifiable only in rare cases ima lignancy, canceri. From long study, observation, and a reason able amount of experience, 1 be lieve tonsillotomy, that is. clipping ! or slicing off the obstructing por ; lion of tonsil, is the method of ; choice, Reading the sad story of the de fense 1 mean the post-mortem explanation I cannot help won dering whether: I n' Tonsiilctomy is or is not a maior operation. ibi If il is a major operation, isn't a preliminary examination nf the patient's heart and a urine an.tlvsts routine preparation for surgery 'c The doctors haven't heard that enlargement of the thymus gland is frequently revealed by X ray examination of young children, and as a rule it is nf no conse quence 'd' The notion that the enlarged thymus presses on the windpipe is any less (anc-.dil than the notion that gas in simnavh or intestine presses on the heart. Three Prove Fatal Three tonsillectomies proved fa tal in December, '56, according to newspaper reports in my file. Maybe there ware other fatalities which were not reported. In one of these cases the victim was "violently allergic" to the local anesthetics used during the operation to kill the pain, a "hos pital spokesman" explained. In another case the corner said the child died of "cardiac arrest due to a constitutional weakness." Cardiac means heart: arrest means stop. Constitutional weak ness means well, physical or bodily weakness. When the heart ' stops beating in the course of an I operation, it doesn't make the sad ! occurrence understandable calling it cardiac arrest or charging it to ' a constitutional weakness. The tragic part of it is that there s no gooo reason w ny any child or grown-up should be sub jected to the atrocity and in my judgemcnt tonsillectomy is an atrocity. Method of Choice The minor operation for removal of tonsils is called tonsillotomy clipping or instantaneously slicing ! olt the obstructing portion is no ' more dangerous and requires no ' more anesthesia than extraction of I a tooth. I As 1 hope you remember, when you and 1 were young, grandma. : there was only one treatment for enlarged or hyperthrophied tonsils, only one way to "remove" tonsils. j and that was tonsillotomy, this was comparatively simple, safe, and satisfactory. To the best of my recollection I never heard of 1 such grave complications as shock, cessation of breathing, hemorrhage ; or aspiration of bits of blend clot or tonsil tissue into the lungs. Nor ; of such consequences or sequels as pneumonia, septicemia, lung 1 abscess. These and other risks are unavoidable when the patient is : suhiccted to the atrocity called 1 tonsillectomy. point between Republicans and Democrats that crops up in politi cal discussions. Mr. Truman was right in inter vening. He could not wait for au thority from Congress, though he did consult some of the leaders. Nor is there any real difference of opinion today as to what the duty of a president should be when any attack occurs he must order American forces to repel that at tack, and go to Congress later for ratification ol a "state of war" in order to legalize the step. Prevention The Real Issue But what shall be said of the use of constitutional power to pre vent a war not necessarily to wait till an attack has come? This is the real issue, and it is a novel one. It involves what some mem bers of Congress have mistakenly described as a delegation of power to a' president by Congress. Actually, it is advance notice to foreign nations of the readiness of Congress to authorize, now and ratify later any action the Presi dent may take if war becomes necessary. This doesn't mean any advance delegation of power at all. The act of delegation never oc curs because only Congress can declare war or ratify the exis tence of a "state of war." The Constitution has many pointed provisions that give to Congress exclusively the righl "to declare war and regulate the use of the armed forces. Article I, Section 8, says Congress "shall have power" not only "to declare war" but "to define and punish piracies and (clonics committed on I lie high seas, and offences against the law of nations." This same article says Congress "shall have power to moke rules for the gov ernment and regulation of the land and naval forces." To Ratify 'State ol War' But while there is no dispute about how the armed forces shall be directed to act when invasion or attack on American interests comes as provided, for instance, in various treaties such as NATO the new question is how Con- j gross, acting along with the Presi-1 dent, can serve notice of Amer-i ica's intention to use force il its interests are threatened. It is the ; formal expression by Congress of its intention to ratify a "state of war" if any nation or group of nations embarks on such a course against this country which is all important now. That's the funda mental fact in the Eisenhower doctrine resolution as passed by I the House. It's a process of pre ; venting war rather than a means of declaring war which Congress and the President would join in 1 establishing. It's a constructive ! move toward the mainlenancc of peace in an atomic age. j George H. Flagg, Oregon public utilities had authorized West Coast Trailways ben maxwell to operate interstate busses in Ore gon and use the Pacific highway. Sunrise Mineral Springs, succes sor to Hubbard Mineral Springs, had re-opened as the only "health farm" in this part of the state. A century ago Indians had camped there to partake of the mineral water and restore their health. A Capital Journal editorial had said relative to "One Cause of Swollen Budgets": The high cost of social welfare legislation ex ceeds the public means and re sults in excessive burdens on the taxpayers as well as inflating costs of production and diminishing out put. But there will be nothing done about it except increase budgets." I After 10 years that truth is evi dent.) Favorable weather conditions had spurred demand for farm labor. During the past two days Farm Labor office had received orders for 40 hands in hopyards, cane berry fields, and strawberry patches. Harvesters of strawberry plants received $2 a thousand for digging them and the same amount for packing. "Tex" Rankin, famed dare devil flyer of a hopped up Jenny at the end of First World War, had died in a crash at Klamath Falls. Tex was well known to Salem flying circles in the 1920s. He used the old air field south of the fair grounds and was an outstanding performer here in connection with dedication of the Salem airport: "There has been great de velopment of public taste in th United States. America is not musically illiterate. It is growing and evolving musically v e r y fast." Vastly More Orchestras Recalling that when he first came to this country from Europe in 1905 the only well-known sym phonies were in Boston, New York and Chicago, Stokowski said: t "Now every university has' J iuu. tic nave vaaiij- iuuig uitiius, tras than any other country of the world of comprable size." The maestro, now conductor of the Houston Symphony, sees the increasing leisure afforded by the machine age as the first step to ward the creation of a world-inspiring cultural renaissance here. "We have already the highest standard of living of any country in history," he observed. "That is, in terms of physical and ma terial things food, clothing, housing and transportation. . Standard af Inner Living "What we need to concentrate on now is a' high standard of liv ing for the inner life thought, re ligion, the arts, science, imagi nation, sensitivity to nature and human relations everything thfcl goes on inside us. Stokowski conducts an inter- . view as he does an orchestra, with a mixture of charm and Olympian aloofness. Once, on asking him a ques tion, I had the feeling of one who disrupts' a concert by a loud and uncontrollable sneeze. 'f never discuss myself."' re plied Stokowski, and the concert resumed. He said he thought America's cultural renaissance could be best stimulated by creating a higher standard of inner living among children. He has two small sons of his own. Shouldn't Force Lessons But Stokowski. who started play ing the piano and violin very young himself, thinks it is a mis take for parents to force either painting or music lessons rn chil dren between the ages of 4 and 9. "If the children ask lor the les sons themselves, it is all right," he said, "Otherwise, no. "Young children arc interested in only one thing play. They create Ihcir own rhythms and melodies- spontaneously while playing. "If you can make an educa tional thing seem like play to them, they'll want to do it. But if you force them to do some thing, they will lose their spon taneity and their talent will turn imitative." To Stokowski the replacement of spontaneity by the urge to im itate spells the death of creative ability.
