'Relax on your hand V -flLSt J Mtiw' v MSll New project first in three-way development for Warm Springs Long ago, wandering tribes found an inviting spot on a western tributary of the Deschutes River: Hot water poured from big springs, and gushed from rock crevices. Green meadows provided fine pas ture for horses. In season, salmon came up the tributary from the Des chutes. 1." The inviting spot was the Ka-Ne-Ta Hot Springs, on a river of the same name. The area is to be part of the $2,600,000 complex on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to be developed with funds provided by the tribal council and through the Area Redevelopment Act. ' News of plans for the start of the first unit of the three-phase de velopment was announced in The Bulletin on Saturday. This will be the community center at the Agency headquarters. Its cost will approxi mate $500,000. Construction will start in about two months, Vernon Jackson, executive secretary of the tribyal council, has announced. ", ; The second phase of the reserva tion development, and possibly the most interesting to the public be cause It will be available to all, will be that planned tor the Ka-Ne-Ta Hot Springs. Preparing for that de velopment, the trlbual council some time back purchased the springs from a private concern. All old build ings are to be removed. Beer on skittles for a change Breweries are bet. They've got a potential sales gimmick that thoy don't know about, or if they do, are not prone to ad vertise It. Beer can serve a twofold pur pose at bar-b-que time in addition to the usual consumptive nature of things.' A friend of ours told us about it recently and then demonstrated his point. When the coals became too hot and started to scorch the steaks, he put the fire out with beer instead Put cycle " There are a couple of nature lovers in Eugene who are still sore about an experience they had in the Green Lakes area last weekend. ; While they were admiring the view from the base of the South Sister, a couple of idiots came down the trail on motor scooters, squirrel ing around and tearing up what soil lay on or near the trail. This is illegal and the Eugene couple got a license number off one of the vehicles. Problem is that the two squir relers will probably never see the inside of a courtroom and this is too bad. The only law they broke was federal in nature and this means they can be tried only in a federal court. This means hauling them all the way to Portland to stand before a judge who has more serious cases to consider. The last legislature, which didn't accomplish much anyway, failed to take care of this problem too. House Bill 1202 would have given state courts jurisdiction over these cases. Had it passed, the two squirrels could have been hauled in to District Court in Bend. The Eugene Register-Guard, that one. How oyer here?'

The hot springs will be de veloped into a fine pool, warmed by water deep from the ancient earth. Surrounding the big swimming pool will be a 12-foot transparent enclo sure. Planned for the Ka-Ne-Ta area is a convention center. Work on the development of the Ka-Ne-Ta area will start this fall, and the lodge will be available for use by the start of the 1964 recreation season. The third phase of the Warm Springs Reservation development is of great interest to residents of the area: This calls for a large industrial building that would assist In attract ing industries and creating employ ment for reservation people. The industrial center will also serve as a training area for the res ervation people, preparing them to serve as skilled craftsmen when they take their place in American in dustry. The three-phase project soon to take shape at Warm Springs has been in the planning stage for the past ten years. It will mean much to the hard-working residents of the reservation whose ancestors once ranged over and ruled the lands east of Mt. Jefferson. Later on, he thought the steaks looked a bit dry. So he poured beer all over them. Said he'd been doing it for years. Said it was the best marinating fluid he's found. Well, the steaks were wonder ful. But they tasted like beef, not beer. No matter he said, the beer helped keep the meat moist. This might be so. However, we hasten to point out to outdoor cook ing buffs that the fellow was a beer distributor. state law which reported the case, told of one way of handling cycle buffs who speed through the woods, tearing up trails: The cyclists at Green Lakes call to mind a yahoo who rode his cycle into Waldo Lake over the Skyline Trail last summer. He met a party that had hiked In over the steep Mt. Ray Trail, which was badly blocked by blowdowns. The cyclist asked the condition of the Mt. Ray trail. The party assured him It was in perfect shape, and then left him. AU winter they dreamed happily of his problem in lifting his machine over those big logs.

Smith Bulletin Correspondent (Editor's Note: Third in se ries on the nation's new ocean ography program as part of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union.) WASHINGTON - Unlike the space budget for reaching the . moon, the oceanography budget for getting to the bottom of the seas is no sacred cow on Capitol Hill. Even the familiar - concerns about the increase of Russian submarines and the decline of commercial fishing aren't suffici ent to stay the congressional ax. In January President Kennedy asked Congress for $158 million for his expanding oceanography program. The money was to be split roughly between military and civilian agencies. The first blow came when the $75 million requested for the Defense Depart ment, virtually all of it for the Navy, was slashed by $20 mil lion. This came as a surprise be cause defense appropriations have an easier ride through Congress than those for civilian agencies. The civilian half of the ocean ography program is also in trou ble. Congressional budget-cutting ' will prevent a number of agen cies from expanding their work in the field. Like a new skin-diver vho hugs the shore, Congress ap pears fearful of taking the plunge into the depths where oceanogra phers say the United States must go to match the Soviet advances in this field. The U.S. oceanography effort, spread throughout some 20 agen cies, is coordinated by the Inter agency Committee on Oceanogra phy under the supervision of the president's science advisor. Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner. The commit tee, composed of officials from Navy, Commerce, Interior, Treas ury, State, Health, Education and Welfare, Atomic Energy Commis sion, National Science Foundation and Smithsonian Institution, at tempts to avoid costly overlap ping by assigned research tasks to each government agency. The Bureau of Mines, for ex ample, was assigned this year the task of studying new and novel oceanic mining systems. Today there is no mining conducted at an ocean depth greater than 400 feet. Yet there are vast areas of the deep ocean floor that are car peted with nodules of manganese and iron which contain cobalt, nickel, copper and other valuable metals. Russia Is known to be ac tive in sea floor mineral survey ing. x Two years ago a University of California engineer and specialist in mineral technology, John L. Mero, urged such an effort by telling a Senate committee: "It seems strange that the U.S. government will invest hundreds of millions of dollars to develop ore deposits in places such as Cuba only to lose the entire investment but cannot spend a few hundred thousand over the years to help develop the vastly greater in size and richer in grade deposits on the ocean floor. In addition to being politically free, these deposits would be royalty-free ores for us." Kennedy's budget request for the Bureau of Mines was increas ed this year from $52,000 for oceanography to $412,000 to start a deep sea mining effort. Paul Zinner, assistant director oi the Bureau, told a House appropria tions subcommittee such an ef fort would cost about $20 million over the next decade. Zinner said the Bureau would need a ship a mothballed Navy . vessel would do and a suitable shore facility, such as the aban doned Tongue Point naval base at the mouth of the Columbia Riv er which he described as "a very fine facility" where "virtually nothing would have to be spent" to make it usable. The House subcommittee head ed by Rep. Mike Kirwan, D-Ohio, refused to approve the request. The Senate voted to give the Bu reau of Mines half what it sought, but the House refused to compro mise with a nickel for the pro gram. So it had to be dropped from the budget last month. Or take the case of the Geologi cal Survey, another old line agon, cy which in the past has been limited to surveying the geology of the U.S. land mass for mineral riches. Kennedy's Inter - agency Committee on Oceanography as signed it the new task of making geological and geophysical maps of the continental shelves, which cover about a million square miles, equivalent to the combined area of California, Oregon, Wash ington and Alaska. Congress last year gave Geo logical Survey about $500,000 to start this project on the Atlantic Coast This year the agency ask- The Bulletin Monday, August 12, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W.

Report- , ed for an Increase to $1,304,000, part of which was for a new Pa cific Coast lab. Kirwan's sucbom mittee approved everything but the request for the new West Coast lab, but the Senate refused to approve any increase at all, so the status quo was maintain ' ed. ' The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, which has been deeply involved in oceanographic work for some years, asked for $16.9 million to finance its expanding program of research, ship con struction, laboratories and new equipment This was a modest in crease in its $15.3 oceanography budget for 1963. The House slashed some $4 mil lion from this request by deleting funds for a new research ship to be used to explore the salmon, fur seal and king crab of the North Pacifc and Bering Sea, as well as a new shellfish lab at Millford, Conn. The Senate restor ed $2,650,000 for the new Pacific ship and the House later went along. But the result is that the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries fell $2 million short of its project ed budget, or with less money than it got last year for oceano graphy. Other civilian agencies, whose appropriations are still under scrutiny in Congress, await the ax. The agency with most at stake is the National Science Foundation. Next to the Navy, it has the largest budget for ocean ography $25.8 million, a 42 per cent boost over its $18.1 million budget for last year. The Foundation, a federal agen cy, doesn't perform any oceaio graphic work itself but parcels out grants to universities and pri vate research institutes for ships, labs and other equipment. Last year it gave $6 million for ves sels, shore facilities and buoy sys tems. Among its beneficiaries were Oregon State and Johns Hopkins Universities, Scripps In stitution of Oceanography and Woods Hole Oceanographic Insti tution, which got money for new laboratory buildings. If Congress appropriates the funds, this year the Foundation plans to make grants for expand ed efforts in bathymetric investi gations, age determination of ma rine sedimentary deposits, paleo temperature studies, sediment distribution and drilling opera tions, organic and inorganic geo chemistry, sediment transport techniques and seismic, graviety and geothermal investigations. Next largest civilian budget item for oceanography In $24.5 million for the Coast and Geodetic Survey of the Commerce Depart ment which has two new ships ex pected for delivery later this year and a third next year. They will be assigned to conduct ocean sur veys in the North Pacific, current studies between the sub-arctic end central Pacific water masses, and Atlantic coastal charting and con tinental shelf surveys. The Public Health Service wants $4,770,000, chiefly for re search on the affect of domestic and industrial waste disposal in marine environments. Some of this money goes into grants for academic institutions to conduct research and train marine scien tists. The Atomic Energy Commis sion asked for $5.3 million for re search on the diffusion and con centration resulting from deposit of radioactive materials in the ocean and their biological effects on marine organisms. The Smithsonian Institution, budgeted for $531,000. wants to be capable of handling the great quantities of marine specimens which the oceanographic program will produce. It has established a national sorting center at its Mu seum for Natural History in Wash ington to collect and process these specimens. The Weather Bureau wants $183,000 to place meteorological technicians aboard seven oceano graphic vessels operating In all three oceans. The Maritime Ad ministrations wants $50,000 to study the effect of waves on ship design. The Army's Corps of En gineers plans to study the move ments of beach sands and the general problem of beach erosion caused by waves generated by large storms. There is even an ef fort to reduce barnacles and other marine organisms which foul the hulls of ships. Much oceanography research is demonstrably practicaL But com pared to outer space exploration, oceanography is a plain little step child that receives less generous treatcment than does its more glamorous sister program from member.! of Congress.

(UPI) The United States may try to put a man on the moon in 1968, two years before the 1970 date set by President Kennedy, the Houston Chronicle said Sunday. The Chronicle said in a copy righted story that requests for study of equipment needed to keep men on the moon indicated plans to step up the manned moon shot. Chronicle science writer Warren Burkett said the study requests involved three items that indicat ed a shot in 1968. The first was for life-support equipment to be available for landing men on the moon by 1968, and the second advised contrac tors of aerospace hardware that the space agency would want a permanent moon station by 1970. t ; Worth rr?,i The Bulletin welcomes contributions to this column from Its readers.

Need for planning in Bend area seen To the Editor: The O'Donnell letter of August 2 reflects a grave need in Cen tral Oregon for thoughtful plan ning. Mr. O'Donnell notes the un-. regulated mining of volcanic ma terials west of Bend and the re sulting ugliness in the landscape. The random growth of Bend and its hinterland is slowly transform ing a place of beauty and charm into one of disorder and blight. Not only the scars from mining, but the negative effects of un planned commercial expansion as well, disturb the sensitive eye. Gaudy neon signs, unsightly bill boards, and the haphazard spread of commercial land use (espec ially along East Third Street) are some of the urban maladies af flicting Bend. And what of the fu ture land use along the Bend - to Redmond Highway? Without sound planning efforts, in the very near future, one could easily en visage a continuous commercial strip connecting these two towns. This letter, it should be stressed, is not intended to argue against business enterprise (commercial land use or mining activity), but to argue for their proper loca tion. If the money, energy, and spirit mustered by the community in support of the recent water pag eant could be duplicated for the planning process, then Central Oregon should realize an endur ing and positive impact on its ba sic health. If only the pride moti vating short-range projects could be re-channeled to motivate long range planning, then we might avoid the creation of a "little Los Angeles" in Central Oregon. William W. Speth Bend, Oregon, August 7, 1963 Hospital plea voiced by former director To the Editor: As a charter director of the Central Oregon District Hospital I have been interested in watch ing its progress for the past 11 years. It is pleasing to note that the hospital has been serving a great need to the community and with the rapid advances in medicine and techniques it is necessary that the facilities of hospitals, such as Central Oregon District Hospital, should be expanded to care for more patients and add the needed facilities in order to properly serve the people of the Central Oregon Community. I urge everyone eligible to vote, to turn out on August 15th and cast their votes favorably to the bond issue for better medical care at Central Oregon District Hos pital. Yours very truly, W. Lester Houk Bend, Oregon, August 10, 1963 Aid sought for 'cold noses, warm hearts' To the Editor: The Sanctuary, a refuge for homeless dogs, comes again with asking hand. I, who am tlie staff, take new courage as sum mer comes over the land. First, I would thank all who have helped in the years just past. I would like you to know how responsible I feel in the use of the things you have sent and how much comfort they have given.

" r "Washington 'Merry-go-ro nd '' 07 interests purchase favors with contributions By Jack Anderson WASHINGTON Oregon's fiery Democrat, Sen. Wayne Morse, his voice crackling with anger, his ' bushy eyebrows bristling, seized the Senate floor one day to deliv er a lecture his colleagues didn't want to hear. "Great courage is required," he roared, "to stand against the pow erful oil and gas combine of this country, which exercises such a powerful influence in the halls of Congress that it is able to steal from the American people. The industry is supported by members of Congress who do not represent the people of this country, but who really represent the gas and oil interests." Some senators squirmed a lit tle, as if Morse's open mouth were causing an uncomfortable draft But most of them put on an act of massive indifference. If his rebuke stung any ears, if his barbs pricked a few con sciences, they showed no evidence of It but merely sat listening in studied nonchalance. Yet the speech the senators pretended not to hear happened to be true! No group in America collects more benefits from Uncle Sam and passes out more favors to politicians than the recklessly greedy, unbelievably wealthy oil barons. They keep the taxpayers' mon ey circulating in dizzy circles, perhaps the closest thing to per petual motion in corruption ever achieved. The more the patricians of petroleum drain from the gov ernment through tax loopholes, the more they slip to politicians . to make the loopholes in the tax laws still bigger. ill challenges FPC gas order SALEM (UPI) Two petitions challenging a Federal Power Com mission order have been filed by Public Utility Commissioner Jonel C. Hill who said they could bring higher gas rates to Oregon con sumers. The federal agency has rejected the request of El Paso Natural Gas Co. and Colorado Interstate Gas. For permission to build a $151 million pipeline from Rock Springs, Wyo., to the California state line. "The denial of the Rock Springs project constitutes a threat to the economy of the entire western United States," Hill declared. He noted the FPC had approved the project in I960 and said "its reversal at this late date is shock ing to all who are familiar with the Issues involved." Hill said the proposed line would allow El Paso to cut about one third of the cost of present lines which presently b r i n g gas from the Southwest to Oregon. He said it would prevent the expense of "pay and take" con tracts El Paso signed after the original 1960 FPC "go ahead" or der from being passed on to con sumers in Oregon and the other states El Paso serves. Hill Is also objecting to a pro posal of the Tennessee Gas Trans mission Co. to pipe gas from Tex as to southern California. He said that if this line is granted it would permanently kill the Rock Springs project wich in volves the interest of Northwest consumers. The FPC has announced that the Tennessee Gas proposal, made through its subsidiary Gulf Pacific, would be considered joint ly with all other proposals for moving natural gas to southern California. Tennessee Gas transmission was responsible for the full reopening of the Rock Springs case after its oricinal 1960 a p p r o v a 1 by the FPC.

Sr, ' ' a a- w 3 sr -g a sr r ' 1 1 ' ' 1 1 1 J I I I Few men who administer or vote on oil matters have not been tempted. For their favors, the oil barons offer them campaign con tributions, law fees, even cash in paper sacks. Many a candidate for Congress, down to his last campaign dollar, has been promised funds in re turn for his pledge to vote "right" on oil. Sometimes the contribution Is channeled through campaign com mittees, which permits a candi date to report it without advertis ing that it came from the oil in terests. Sen. Frank Moss, Utah Democrat, once turned down a $5,000 oil offer that was dangled before him by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The catch: He would have been obliged to vote for the oil deple tion allowance if he had taken the money. The first feeler from the oil crowd usually is held out cauti ously. A senator in debt, say, might be sounded out indirectly . about accepting oil money. For instance, a Senate employ, ee recently asked freshman Sen. Tom Mclntyre, New Hampshire Democrat, about his campaign deficit. Mclntyre said he was still about $10,000 in debt. The employee remarked quietly that he knew an oilman who was willing to pay off the entire defM cit. But Mclntyre refused to bite, held a fund-raising dinner instead in New Hampshire. Cash in Sack ' As for the paper sacks, one filled with $2,500 in $100 bills was offered to the late Sen. Francis Case, South Dakota Republican. The receptacle suggested that he could have pocketed the money without reporting it. Instead, he strode onto the Senate floor and denounced the bribery attempt in a voice shrill with outrage. If he had taken the money, of course, he would have been "hooked" for the rest of his ca reer. Question: How many polit icians have been hooked in this manner? The answer, If It were known, might shake the very foundations of our republic. Another pattern is suggested by the number of politicians whose law firms have been retained by the oil industry. Politically, they run a wide gamut from Thomas E. Dewey, the two-time presiden tial candidate, to Sen. John Mc Clellan, the Arkansas investiga tor. (It is worth recalling that the Senate, more embarrassed than indignant over Case's charges, se lected McClellan to Investigate the bribery attempt. He was the model of a discreet investigator, displaying little of the enthusiasm he has shown for going after la bor racketeers and TFX contract officers.) Special oil privileges cost the taxpayers millions, which they must replace In federal reven ue. The oil loopholes have also spawned the lusty Texas tycoon who flashes $1,000 bills, drapes his women in mink, and turns In his Cadillacs when they develop a rattle. Sft1 :T::W-'.
