' Night Boating Starts Again Columbia River Portland, Ore., Feb. 11 (U.R) Night navigation on the lower Columbia river has been resum ed after six weeks' suspension, the coast guard said today. Buoys and navigation lights, which were damaged by ice, have, have been replaced or tem porary markers installed. CVA Defended In Talk To Lions By Portland Senator Declaring that the Columbia valley administration, if adopt ed, would not set up a "super state," and charges that it would establish a "dictatorship," are pure political propaganda state ments, Austin riegei, state sen ator from Multnomah county. defended the administration's CVA bill before the Medford Lions club Wednesday evening. Flegel told the Lions club that the bill would distribute author ity to more people and that it would bring the administration and development of the natural resources of northwest closer to home than is now the case. Two Hit Power "All the power that the three man board would have," Sen. Flegel said, "is now vested in two men, the secretary of defense and the secretary of the interior. The CVA bill provides that two of the three men on the board must be from the northwest. At the present time, the two men who have dictatorial powers over development of the ColumDia basin are both from other parts of the country, and, believe me," he added, "their powers are ab solute." Sen. Flegel said development of power is the greatest need now in the northwest, and the CVA would bring about more power development, more reclamation development, with greatest good to the greatest number, than any other proposed program. Reports Necessary Under the CVA plan, he point ed out, the board would have to make a complete report each year of what had been done, and present a complete budget of what is proposed for the coming year. The super-state charges, Flegel said, were pure fantasy, because the congress would pass on activities of the CVA each year, and no major development could be undertaken without ap proval of the congress. Different taxing units through out the area would not be de prived of tax base, Flegel said, because the bill provides that the CVA would have to pay amounts in lieu of taxes, to all taxing units when a private util ity or other property was pur chased by the CVA system. The hundreds of new industries which would follow develop ment of more power, he said, would create additional taxable wealth. Sen. Flegel said he spoke as a businessman, since he is the president of Willamette Iron and Steel company and a director of many other business firms, in cluding Hystcr corporation. ' t f C. Lyall Fidler Fidler Elected To Head Realty Board This Year C. Lyall Fidler was elected president of the Medford Realty board at the group's annual meeting Friday afternoon.

Ray Schumacher, president of the Stale Association of Realty Boards, was named by Fidler as general chairman of the state convention committee, which will prepare for the conclave to be held here next September. A membership drive was in augurated at the meeting, and Fidler said he hoped the Board would double its membership within a year. The drive will be conducted as a contest, with Wil liam Kern and Harold Plymesser heading the two teams. The los ers will provide a dinner for the winners, Fidler said. Dairy Production Increase At High Figure Locally Reports released last week at the annual meeting of the Jack son County Dairy Herd improve ment association show an in crease in dairy production here for last year that is greater than the increase reported in the state as a whole for the past years The local increase was approxi mately eight per cent in 1949 over 1948. The increase in production for the year averaged 606 pounds of milk per Jackson county cow and 30.1 pounds of butterfat per cow, according to county Agent Earle Jossy who released the reDort. The figures represent in-. creases in nine local dairy herds tested by the association during 1U4U ana 1H4U. Director! Named The dairvmen also elected five new directors for one and two-year terms.

Mumford. also on the faculty at OSC. Mumford reported on his cost of production survey con ducted with 61 herds in the Willamette valley, saying that it costs Oregon dairymen an aver age of one cent per quart more to produce milk than they re ceive for it on the market.
