COULEE WATER IS
r RELEASED TO AID
STRANDED BARGE
Coulee Dam, Wash., Sept. 19
U.R) A man-made crest of high
water surged down the mighty
Columbia river today after
Grand Coulee, dam engineers in
creased the flow to lift a strand
ed oil barge 400 miles away.
More than 12,000,000,000 gal
lons of water swelled the west's
biggest river and engineers said
it would take another two days
for the river to rise two or three
feet at Celilo Falls, near The
Dalles, Ore.
The large oil barge is strand
ed sideways in the swift, narrow
channel below the falls. A pow
erful tug has negotiated the
treacherous "chute" between
The Dalles and the falls, ready
to apply pressure and free the
barge when the river rises, i
To Take 80 Hours
The 11 drum gates atop the
huge dam were lowered several
inches, which swelled the water
fall over the dam's face. Then all
4ut three of the gates were clos
ed last night after the river's
level had been raised nearly five
feet at the dam. It is estimated
the crest will take 80 hours to
reach Celilo Falls.
Farmers along the Columbia
posted guards along the rising
stream and anchored irrigation
pumps and floating docks more
firmly. Army engineers spread
a warning of the emergency the
entire length of the river. Grand
Coulee dam is west of Spokane
in north central Washington,
while Celilo Falls is on the Washington-Oregon
border, far to the
south and west.

JAPANESE IS TOLD
Tokyo, Sept. 19 (U.PJ Lt.
Gen. Shizuichi Tanaka, com
mander of Japanese eastern
army headquarters, personally
quelled a revolt by a group of
young officers who took over
control of the Imperial Palace in
an effort to forestall formal an
nouncement of Japan's surren
der, the Tokyo newspaper Main
ichi said today.
The newspaper gave a detail
ed account of the uprising,
which assertedly was made by
a group of Japanese general
staff officers. The Mainichi ver
sion, however, did not wholly
confirm previous reports that an
uprising had taken place at such
a time as to affect surrender ne
gotiations between Japan and
the allies.
The revolt, if confirmed,
might provide a possible explan
ation for a delay of some 24
hours between the Tokyo rtdio
announcement at 2:40 p. m. Aug.
14 (10:49 p. m. Aug. 13 PWT)
that the Imperial rescript would
be forthcoming "soon" and its
rctual delivery by the emperor
over the radio.

aintaining a railroad's track and roadbed
in A-l condition requires the services of a
large number of construction crews. Hard
workers these men require plenty of whole
some food at regular mealtime intervals. But,
being constantly on the move they are fre
quently many miles distant from a city or town.
To meet this situation, Union Pacific provides
two "outfit cars" for each construction crew.
In one of these cars there is a dining room,
kitchen, and storage space for food ... a roll
ing restaurant. The other car is converted into
qomfortable living quarters for the manager
ONLY TWO LEFT
IN COUNTY JAIL
There are now only two pris
oners in the county jail, the low
est number in several months.
They are Robert B. Merrill,
awaiting action on an assault
and robbery charge, and LaBern
F. Keller, charged with con
tributing to delinquency of a
minor girl, age 15.
Keller, according to the dis
trict attorney's office, brought
the girl here from Eugene where
he was arrested the first of the
week on information furnished
by the Lane county city. Keller,
the district attorney reports, has
offered to plead guilty. He was
discharged from the state prison
last June on a burglary charge,
the authorities report.
Merrill escaped from the coun
ty jail six weeks ago and was ar
rested recently in Los Angeles
and returned here for trial on
the robbery charge. He will
probably be called before the
grand jury at its next session.
