'Partnership' Power Issue Talked
By McKay, Others for Senators
Washington U.R) Interior
Secretary Douglas McKay Wed
nesday defended the Eisenhow
er administration's "partner
ship" policy for development of
power projects as a "positive
program . . .'that will make a
valuable contribution to the
power supply of the country
In a requested appearance be
fore the House Interior commit
tee, McKay also said:
1. The administration has no
preference between private util
ity companies and governmental
agencies in selecting "partners"
for development of projects.
2. The government will con
tinue to use power rates on fed
eral projects as an informal
"yardstick" to indicate what
private rates might be.
Democratic committee mem
bers questioning him in turn at
tacked the partnership policy,
Republican members told Mc
Kay they agreed with it.
He said increasing applications
for power development made to
the federal power commission
by local groups, both public and
private, show that local initia
tive for power development
exists
In 1953, he said, the FPC
granted permits for plants to
produce 1,597,000 kilowatts of
power. Trie figure jumped to 5,-
537,000 in 1954 and applications
pending at the end of the year
would provide 8,166,000.
He said the administration is
not abandoning construction of
plants to turn out "low cost pub
lic power . . . but we are aban
doning the policy of the previous
administration that the federal
government alone should devel
op all this power."
He argued that cower short
ages have aeveloped in the two
areas of
public power Is dominant," the i the 160-acre reclamation land
Tennessee valley and the Pacific I limit on eligible projects, he said
Northwest
Rep. Lee Metcalf (D.-Mont.)
told McKay the partnership pol
icy allowed only "financially
able" groups to join the govern
ment in building projects. In
Montana, Idaho and other sec
tions, he said, government agen
cies can't contribute.
"That leaves only the private
companies," he said.
"There is nothing in this pol
icy that turns over anything to
crivate companies, McKay saia
"There is no rjroference. You're
seeing things under the bed
Washington U.P.) A series
of witnesses told a Senate Inte
rior subcommittee Thursday that
local districts can -build small
water projects much more cheap
ly than the federal government
can.
They were testifying in favor
of a bill to authorize teaerai
grants and interest-free loans to
local 'agencies lor projects cost
ing less than $5,000,000 and an
other to allow interest-free loans
for irrigation distribution sys
tems of authorized projects.
The subcommittee took the
nnrfpr advisement. Chair
man Clinton P. Anderson (D.
N.M.) said the group may vote
on them in about two weeks.
William E. Welsh secretary
manager of the National Recla
mation association, said that the
small projects bill would pro
vide "simrlified orocedure, elim
ination of hurdles and less red
tape, thereby reducing costs.
Object to Smaller Juimu
He said the association wouia
object to dropping the limit on
projects to $200,000 as proposed
committee la&i
by the Senate
the country "where year. It also objects to imposing
put would agree that excess
land owners should pay interest
costs on water for lands over the
limit.
Elmer Bennett, legislative rep
resentative of the Interior de
partment said the agency "ap
proves very, highly" the princi
ple of local cooperation contain
ed in the bill. He said, however.
the department' feels that local
agencies should make some con
tribution to project costs.
Howard Stodjard of a Fresno,
Calif., engineering firm told the
subcommittee that irrigation dis
tricts could build distribution
systems connecting with the
Central Valley Project at savings
of 30 to 50 per cent over feder
ally constructed systems.

An exclusive interview by Steven Bright
Cleveland. O. (U.R) The
United Auto Workers (CIO) con
stitutional convention today
turned its attention to the 1955
collective bergaining program
and the guaranteed annual wage
increase, the main issue con
fronting the nation's auto
makers this year.
The 3000 delegates to the 15th
annual gathering quickly dis
posed of elections by returning
an unopposed slate of officers.
. Re-elected by voice vote was
President Walter Reuther, who
has headed the ,1,300,000-mem-ber
union since 1936. Other re
turned to office were Vice-Presidents
Richard Gosser and John
Livingston, and Secretary-Treasurer
Emil Mazey.
Norman Matthews of Detroit
and Leonard Woodcock of Grand
Rapids, Mich., backed by the
Reuther group, were elected to
newly-created vice-presidencies.
Reuther, referring to the col
lective bargaining program, said
it would include a wage boost
and improved health and pen
sion plans. The amount of the
wage increase was not revealed
but Reuther said it would be
based on recognized princi
ples."
Although the union signed
five year contracts in 1950,
Reuther said he was opposed to
contracts running more than two
years. He said changing condi
tions demand "new decisions
and new conclusions."

Portland Alleged
To Have Advantage
In Truck Rates
Olympia (U.R) The State
Public Service commission "has
asked the Interstate Commerce
commission permission to inter
vene in a dispute over truck
hauling rates, alleging Portland
had an unfair competitive ad
vantage over Puget Sound
points.
The commission said it want

The commission claimed the
Puget Sound cities were unjustly
discriminated against and Port
land was unduly preferred under
present rates. The cities and
commission wanted a parity of
rates with the Portland area
into eastern Oregon: southern
Idaho and Utah, or an advantage
in rates to eastern Washington,
northern Idaho and Montana.
The commission said Portland
enjoyed a substantial advantage
in rates to southern points and
a parity to the eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho area.
the same time focusing attention
on the necessity for more public
knowledge about the disease.
William B. Feldenheimer,
i-ortiana insurance man, is
chairman of the crusade in Ore
gon, and he has pledged his or
ganization of volunteers to the
"most successful crusade in the
Oregon division's history."
The crusade has the support
ol Gov. Paul L. Patterson who
noted that "the ravages of this
terrible disease cannot be ignor
ed by the people of Oregon." He
urged even more generous sup
port than has been given in the
past.
$30,000,000 for Research
Feldenheimer reported that
the American Cancer society has
allocated more than $30,000,000
to research in the past 10 years,
adding that "almost every
branch of science is in some way
participating in the research at
tack on cancer." '
"It is up to the public to stand
behind these scientists, many of
whom are making personal sac
rifices to continue their work,"
the chairman stated. s
He pointed out that cancer re
search has increased consider
ably in post war years. Prior to
1941, Feldenheimer revealed,
not more than a million dollars
was available from all sources
for cancer research, while today
more than $15,000,000 is avail
able annually from many sources
including the American Cancer
society.

WICHITA (Special) J
Wayne Green, Director of Rog
ers. Inc.. Hair and scalp &pe
cialists, exploded the "myth of
baldness" today in an exclusive
interview.
"Baldness is unnecessary, cost
lv. and a plague to mankind,'
savs Green. "No man need be
bald. No man need suffer the
stigma of premature old age
that is forced upon him because
he is losing his hair. The Rogers
method of hair and scalp treat
ment can prevent baldness can
turn colorless fuzz into healthy,
growing hair can make you
look youthful agam.
Demonstration To Be Held
in Med ford. Ore.
This revolutionary method of
home treatment for the hair and
scalp will be demonstrated in
Medford, Ore., Sunday ONLY,
April 10 at the Medford hotel
Trichologist J. F. Blevins will
conduct the private, individual
interviews from Is noon until
9:00 P. M. on Sunday ONLY.
There is no cost or obligation,
and you need no appointment.
Reason For Baldness
"There is always a reason for
baldness," continued this na
tionally known authority. "Hair
cannot grow through a scalp
that is infected with dandruff,
excessive oiliness. or extreme
dryness. A scalp that has never
been exercised cannot be ex
pected to produce healthy hair."
Men, and yes, women too, walk
the streets today, completely
devoid of nature's greatest or
namenthair. Simply because
they were not taught the basic
rules of hair and scalp hygiene
while they were growing up.
"The simple answer." empha
sized this expert, "is that chil
dren should be taught the same
simDle basic rules of hair and
scalD hygiene that they are
taueht for the proper care of
their teeth. If this were the case
baldness would be a rarity to
day!" Heredity Not Involved -
Trichologist Green dodged no is
sues. He quickly took up the most
widely spread theory of bald
ness heredity. "Mankind's un
realistic belief that baldness is
hereditary stems from a misin
terpretation of the theory of
genetics. Theory does not state
that any person must be bald
because baldness exists in the
family. What it does say is, that
in some families a tendency ex
ists towards an undernourished
scalp. The purpose of the Rog
ers Hair and Scalp Clinic is to
teach the methods of strengthen
ing the weak scalp and nourish
ing it to a healthy, vigorous con
dition. "A healthy scalp will'
grow hair if it is not already
completely paid," assures Green.
Is There Hope For The
Completely Bald?
In his travels "throughout the
united states and Canada,
Green has collected hundreds of
testimonials of his ability to de
velop weaic fuzz into healthy,
mature hair. All of his clients
have started with private exam
ination, hair and scalp analysis
and a diagnosis of the disorder.
Green is quick, however, to tell
a hopeless case that he cannot
be helDed. "We strongly advise."
says Green, "that no person who
is completely bald hold anv
nope wnatsoever of regrowing
nair. u mere is any fuzz at all,
we can restore a healthy scalp
condition and the hair will grow
normally again as nature intended."

"Rogers. Inc.. America's Fore

wno enrolls for treatment. If he
or she is not comnletelv delimit
ed with results at the end of 30

ed Green. "We must have satis
fied clients. We must reerow
hair. After all. it is our best ad
vertisement."

Pontiac give you more for your money than
any other car in America!
Keeping in mind that Pontiac fa priced wkhin
the reach of any new-car buyer, consider thaw
three very important facts:
Pontiac is a big car! Pontiac's 122' or 124'
wheelbaae is 6f to 8H inches longer than any
of the "low-priced three". It's the biggest ear
at its price.; ; ;
, Pontiac is more powerful! Model for model, its
big Strato-Streak V-8 delivers more power per
dollar than any car in its field! -
Pontiac is the most distinctively beautiful ear at
any price! No other car 'can match the mdmdu
