S. Army engineers so the corps can nroceed immediately witn nee essary field exploration and pre liminary design of tfte proposed John Day dam project on the Columbia river. The utilities are Portland Gen eral Electric, Pacific Power & Lieht and Washington Water Power. Companies Concerned James H. Polhemus, PGE pres ident, and Paul B. McKee, who heads PP&L, said In making an nouncement of the offer that it was induced by the "grave con cern" the three companies felt over the "pending power short aae in the Pacific Northwest which will develop early in the 1960's if no new large projects are immediately started." Because survey and core drill ing work could start during the winter's low water season, the offer would gain approximately a year's time in starting actual construction of the federal proj ect.'

A six-member Buddhist mission, headed by a 79-year-old Budd hist priest, will take 33 statutes to Burma and bury them for the repose of the soldiers' souls. expected the three companies would be reimbursed for the money advanced if and when funds are appropriated by Con gress for the project. The com panies will not expect to receive interest on the advance and have so specified in the formal offer addressed to Col. J. U. Moor head, district engineer at Port land. , . . . -It was emphasized that the offer had no relationship to pend ing legislation in Congress which, if passed, would authorize construction of John Day, dam as a federal project but with local electric systems and indus tries financing the cost features of the project. This would amount to about half the esti mated $350,000,000 cost.

Charles E. Stafford, civil de fense director for Jackson coun ty: Y Radio stations will operate on only 640 or 1240 kilocycles dur ing an "air-raid" . warning- Pur pose is to prevent enemy bomb ers from using stations as a nav igational aid. During a national emergency Conelrad will be in effect until an all-clear is re ceived from the military. Then stations will return to contin uous broadcasting on normal fre quencies. ' , 'On-Off System A In addition to using only 640 and 1240 kilocycles, most radio stations will broadcast on an "on-off" system. That is, they will be on the air for about 20 seconds at a time and off the air for intervals of from two to eight minutes. "Because of this on-off, sys tem, it is important that people learn where to tune their radio sets before an emergency oc curs," said Col. Stafford. "Em ergency information work is one of the most important phases of civil defense. Official bulletins from radio stations, followed by full leports in emergency news paper editions, will keep the public informed, help avert pan ic, and direct disaster relief work."
