" Bombing Range
Record Defended
By Ullman
Governor Hatfield was unin
formed" In his accusation on the
Boardman tombing Rang land
rxchang
uild her Monday night, tt
public meeting at th Morrow
t'nuntv Fairgrounds anrwx. r
ranged hy arc Democratic
leader.
Branding as false, Governor
Hatfield's statement In Pendl
ton Saturday that the Ullman
amendment to th Boardman
land exchange legislation wa
"headed off", and had )op&r
dler the legislation, th Con
pressman said. "The fart I that
my amendment passed unani
moubly In Congress and with
out the amendment th legla
latlon would have (ailed."
Th Governor hai demonstra
ted flagrant Irresponsibility by
making th Boardman exchange
a political football." unman
charged. Using original docu
ment, he gave hi audience a
step by-step report of the Board
man proceedings for th past
two vears. beclnnlnu with a
letter from Morrow Judge Oscar
Peterson dated Dec.. lioa, re
ouestlne his help In gaining re
turn of the land either to the
original owner or to th county
as th Air Force had declared
it surplus to them.
Ullman said that he arranged
and personally participated In
both meetings that brought the
Governor's representatives, the
Defense Department, and the
Navy together. "The safeguards
for the people of Oregon that
were adopted In the final action.
Including the public domain sta
tus of the land, were Included
at my Insistence", he said.
Many months before Governor
Hatfield expressed an Interest In
the land exchange. Ullman said,
he had Intervened to delay the
proposed permanent transfer of
the bombing range from the Air
Force to the Navy. 'This Is the
only reason the land was avail
able for transfer early this year."
"A year after I had been work
ing on the project the Governor
entered the picture Jan. 4th,
19G0," Ullman said.
The Senate Committee In its
report to the Navy In Aug. 1959
gave the first official recognition
of the Boardman Range's indus
trial potential and incorporated
my statement verbatim regard
ing the impact on this area of
the John Day Reservoir."
Charging that Governor Hat
field was "caught short" when
he prematurely announced
through the press on March 23
that he had personally arranged
the transfer with Defense De
partment officials. Ullman said.
"He soon found out that such
an exchange was Impossible
without Congressional action."
miman said his concern for
the full protection of the people
r rwtTnn in the Boardman land
tne lull pruiecwun kji i 1 i
nf Oregon in the Boardman land
exchange, and his insistence on
proper legal and legislative pro
cedures were matters of record.
The Congressman backed up
his contention of "making a pol
itical football of the Boardman
exchange" by reading from a
letter written by the Governor,
dated Jan. 30 In which the Gov
ernor extended thanks for
Ullman's cooperation In the
Boardman transfer and stated
that he would "look to you for
continued advice and assis
tance." Stating that he did not wish to
deal In personalities but had
been forced into answering
charges, Ullman ended with a
plea for keeping politics out of
the Boardman development.
"Let's hope from here on we can
proceed in a statesmanlike man
ner to meet the great issues
involved," he said.
The Ullman talk was pre
ceded by short addresses by Ben
Musa, state representative, and
Orville Cutsforth, four-county
chairman of the Farmers for
Kennedy Committee. Introduced
were Frank Weatherford, Olex,
State Representative for the 22nd
district, and county officials.
Congressman Ullman and his
party were guests at the home
of Mrs. Harry Duvall Monday
and spent part of Tuesday in the
Heppner area meeting the voters.

To Start In '61
Decision to offer a contract
to Haysllp & Tuft, Portland ar
chitectural firm, for construction
of new hlch school at lone
was reached at the regular school
board meeting of the Morrow
county board Monday night.
The new building will be a

start in the late spring of 19G1.
Haysllp 4 Turt receiveu me
i. i.i on the Ilennner-Lexlngton
high school to be located at
Heppner earlier this year ana
the sentiment of the board was
that tax money could be saved
by extending this bid to cover
construction of the lone plant at
this time.
The board action Is In accord
with the announced building
for Morrow county
erhnnl! over a four year period
which calls for building In Hep
pner, lone, Irrigon ana uoara
man. The Heppner building, a four
civ rnnm 11 n it. is to be built
on the recently purchased Frank
S. Parker land west of the city
proper. Construction is expecieo
tn st.-irt soon under a $130,000
special four-year serial levy
passed by the voters at the last
school election. The building
win snrve for unner grades at
first, but eventually is to De
a complete high school plant
with all facilities necessary. The
32-acre site will include, a foot
ball field.
The lone unit will be usea as
il on completion,
which is hoped for the 1961 fall
term. Financing will come out
of the second part of the four
year serial levy, In the amount
of $130,000.00.
Third year plans call for con
struction of additional class
rooms and a multi purpose room
at Irrigon; fourth year funds
are ear-marked for relocation
nr,H now facilities at Boardman
when backwater from the John
Day dam necessitates relocation
of the town. . ,
Completion of the high scnooi
at Heppner will be dependent
on additional financing.
At the Monday night meeting
iha hnnrH also decided to open
the Morgan street entrance into
the new Heppner scnooi sue as
tho first entrance. Plans cur
rently call for another, as yet
unnamed entrance, wnn a one
way traffic plan at first Open
ing the Morgan street entrance
will enable the contractors to
to the property with
equipment necessary to start
construction.
In further business, the board
decided that the bid for bus re
pair from Kuhn's Garage, Board
man, had been received too late
and the work will continue to
go to Taylor's Texaco at Irrigon.
Barnett's Chevron Stution at
lone was awarded the bid for
bus repairs there as far as fa
cilities will permit Any addit
ional repairs will be assigned
at the discretion of the local ad
ministrator. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Harri

self, the company representative
suid. A future compressor station
is planned at lone but there are
no immediate plans for building
it. The site is being acquired
now, however.
The pipeline will deliver 415
million cubic feet of natural gas
dally Into California. It Is de
signed to carry up to 800 million
cubic feet At the present time
the company does not have con
tracts covering more than the
415 million cubic feet which will
start flowing with completion of
the line. Any installation at lone
will be dedendent on obtaining
more gas, he said. The proposed
lone station will be an automatic
station and will be serviced from
both Hinkle, where a large ser
vice crew will be stationed, and
from Condon, which Is also
scheduled for permanent, per
,.r.i r.t tminprl technicians. The
OUl 1 V. 4 V v -
site at lone will be used also to
store pipe and equipment. wu.u
takes up quite a large tract.
Where the construction com
panies will make their head
quarters is pot known and will
not be determined until company
representatives arrive In the.
area. No Influx of people which
would cause any hardship on the
facilities of the area, such as
schools, is anticipated even from
the construction crews, the Pac
ific Gas Transmission Company
representative said. If the
present picture should change,
authorities here will be notified
Immediately, he indicated. The
pipeline will be paying in taxes
for more facilities than those
connected with its operation will
use, in all areas of the 1400
mile project, he said.
The Pacific Gas' Transmission
portion of the Alberta-California
pipeline will represent a capital
investment of around 120 million
dollars, of which more than half
will be spent in Oregon. "Al- ,
berta-California Pipeline will
will have a good tax Impact on
the county," the company rep
resentative promised.
El Paso Natural Gas Co. will
receive 152 million cubic feet a
day which will be delivered to
Spokane and other points In Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho,
which El Paso may name. This
will give an additional amount
of gas to the three states for
use.
Total construction of the pipe
line is expected to take about
one year, though construction
crews will not be In any one
area more than an anticipated
approximate three-month period.
The gas is expected to flow In
the early winter of 1961-62.
