FiUty, Muck t. !Ut MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRZBUHS ITVI Wide Open Spaces In America Baffle Tupelo, Hiss. U.R) When Mrs. Melvin E. Bingham first ar rived In this country, her hus band, Sgt. Bingham had a lot of trouble explaining why there were so many unused 'Vide open spaces." T Tupelo's first Japanese- war bride, the former Miss Yoshiko Okita of Moji, Japan, came from country where every available Inch of space is put to some use. ; "I thought the best way to show Pee wee (the sergeant's pet same for his wife) the country when we arrived in Seattle was to drive to Mississippi in a round about way," Sgt. Bingham said. I finally told her that much of the western land is unfit for any thing and so it is unoccupied." . The sergeant met his bride while she was working in a snack bar in. Kobe. They married last spring ' soon after the ban on marriage to Japanese women was lifted by Gen. Douglas Mac Ar thur. There is a little Bingham, too. their son Charles.. The two are at present living in the home of Bingham's sister, Mrs. Lester Swindle. They will leave next month when Sgt. .Bingham goes to his new post at Ft. Jackson, S. C. It is the first visit Bingham has paid to his home town in five years. Mrs. Bingham said she "loves America" and her new found friends haven't "given her time to get homesick" except maybe for Japanese cooking. "American food is so rich," she aid. "The cooking is the only thing I miss." Bingham said his family has taken Pee Wee to their hearts. "They are all surprised at her English," he said. Mrs. Bingham, who was taught by a Britisher, has very little ac cent. "But it's all Japanese when she gets mad at me," the sergeant grinned.

Raver, Bonneville power ad ministrator, Friday urged con struction of Hells Canyon dam on the Idaho-Oregon border as a project "any soundly managed American business concern would undertake. Raver, chief of the govern ment's power distributing agen cy in the racmc wortnwest backed the controversial project in a statement filed with a House interior subcommittee. The sub committee is considering a bill to authorize the $356,000,000 dam. Opponents Heard Saturday Witnesses favoring the project were to complete their testimony Friday, and opponents will be heard beginning Saturday. Only isolated power and wa ter projects have been built in the nation in the past. Raver said, and have captured only small part of the usefulness of a river." Hells Canyon is the next step, he argued, in an "intercon nected" system which will give "multinlied" benefits in the Co lumbia basin. If a business concern had a re source similar to the Snake and Columbia ; rivers, he said, it would be "remiss" if it didn't go ahead with Hells Canyon. Would Help Industry The "low cost power" the project will produce, he contend ed, would help the phosphate in dustry in southern Idaho and would satisfy a "rapidly increas ing" demand for electricity for irrigation pumping in the same area. Idaho s senators and repre sentatives oppose the project. One of their objections, is that it would slow down irrigation and other development in Idaho. William A. Dittmer, power manager of the BPA said power from the dam would be market ed at a rate that would promote production of fertilizer from phosphate. Idaho has nearly half of the nation's rock phosphates, he said but power rates so far have allowed production only of chemically-usable phosphates. Dittmer also, submitted a let ter giving' details of an offer to sell power from Hells Canyon project to the Idaho Power com pany. The letter said the terms were similar to those accepted by the Montana Power company for Hungry Horse project power The Idaho company has an ap plication for a smaller power dam at the Hells Canyon site pending before the Federal Pow er commission. . Secretary of Interior Oscar L. Chapman told the subcommit tee late Thursday he did not think any settlement of the con troversy with Idaho Power was possible. Under questioning by Rep. Samuel W. Yorty, D.-Calif., LIFE PRESERVERS REJECTED New York 0JJ9 A ship ment of 2.500 life preservers for New York's ferry boats tagged "approved U. S. Coast Guard" was rejected by city in spectors after tests proved some of them sank within two hours. They were returned to the manufacturer. he agreed that the company would drop its opposition if it got a contract for all of the Hells Canyon output. But if a bill allowing such a contract were passed, he said, "I would recommend a veto." Most Stolen Jewelry Said Underinsured cyst 117 S.

"Too many people lost money replacing missing jewels," said John A. Arnold, vice president of National Retailers Mutual Insurance Co. "Their insurance paid only a portion of the re placement cost." The hardest hit was the group that bought jewelry, more than three years ago, he said.- He cited the example of a man who bought a diamond ring in 1941 for $350 and Insured it for that amount. When the ring was lost last summer, the man learn ed it would cost him $1,200 to duplicate it today. POISON OAK? Try a Bottle of ZEMACOL Yea mint be satisfied ei year money cheerfully refunded.
