JJjJ p? MURDER VICTIM'S WIDOW QUESTIONED Mrs. Mary Clark, widow of wealthy oil man William P. Clark, sits with her eyes closed as she is questioned by Randall Riley, assist ant district attorney at Fort Worth, Tex. Clark was found shot to death in his 23-room mansion. An ex-convict claimed that Mrs. Clark hired him and two other ex-convicts to murder her husband during a robbery, with a guarantee of $10,000. Partnership' Plan For Power Phoney, Sen. Morse States By WAYNE MORSE.MC Washington I have just re turned to Washington from the field hearings of the Senate In terior Committee on the Hells Canyon Bill. It was my privilege to participate in these t public interest hearings at Boise, Lew iston, Pasco and Portland. Equal time was given at the sessions to backers and oppon ents of the high dam. There can be no doubt that the groups which represent the overwhelm ing majority of the people of Oregon, Washington and Idaho and understand and support a high Hells Canyon Dam, with out which full development of the power, navigation, flood con trol and recreation potential of the Columbia River Basin can not be achieved. It is interesting that some pol iticians who do not have the courage to take a clear position on Hells Canyon are attempting to set up a smoke screen by ad v oc a t i n g "partnership" as a means of developing multi-pur pose river projects.

Its mag nificent pool would provide over 3 million acre feet of storage which would go far to remedy the current power curtailment by providing water to flow through the generators of down stream plants which are now working at low efficiency be cause of decreased water flow. Without Hells Canyon storage, four downstream dams on the Snake River would not be feasi ble financially. Without Hells Canyon 2V4 million kilowatts could be lost. What Does Partnership Offer? The advocates of "partner ship" have claimed that adoption of their plans for Cougar and Green Peter dams would , point the way to meet the pressing needs of our region for power. They claim that "partnership" would speed construction of the dams and put electric power on the line more quickly than Fed eral construction. I do not understand how this can be reconciled with the pro visions of the Cordon-Ellsworth bills proposed in the last Con gress or the Ellsworth proposal of this year. Those bills do not provide any effective time limit in which the so-called partners would be required to perform their obligations. The latest bill merely provides that if no ap plication for a "partner" is filed within two years after enact ment of the bill, or the applica tion is denied, "or if construc tion isnot commenced and car ried out within a reasonable period of time as "may be fixed by the Federal Power Commis sion" then the original plans for Federal construction and op eration shall be resumed. Federal Conslruction Favored The partnership pluggers have implied, that Congress is not hos pitable to Federal construction. That is not the fact. In the last Congress ' the partnership bills for Cougar and Green Peter were pushed hard, but were not enacted. But authorization for the addition of Federal power facilities to Cougar and Green Peter were recommended by the House and Senate Public Works Committees as I urged as a mem er of the latter. Those recom mendations were enacted into law in the Omnibus Rivers and Harbors Act last year. Moreover, there have been appropriations for both projects, totaling $381,000 to date. I have urged such appropriations in the past and shall continue to do so. The President unfortunately only recommended a small ap propriation for continuing Cou gar planning and none for Green Peter, as Federal projects. I shall be working with Senator Nell ie e r g e r and Congresswoman Green to increase Cougar ap propriations and include funds for Green Peter. Need for Flood Control We need these projects for vital flood control. Although the power from both projects would amount to some 100,000 to 120, 000 kw, less than 10 per cent of f the power benefits of Hells Can yon, mat power woum oe neip ful in meeting the needs of the region.

April 14, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Epochal news: After exhaustive tests involv ing near 2,000,000 children, the Salk vaccine against the Tolio virus has been pronounced SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND POT ENT. The report of the investigat ing scientists adds that there- is no longer doubt that children can be vaccinated successfully against polio. rpHE vaccine is officially de- clared to have been proved to be 80 to 90 per cent effective in preventing paralytic polio, and Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed it, says he is certain it can be potentially made almost 100 per cent potent in smashing polio's terror and tragedies. llfHAT is a vaccine? How does it work? Well, in layman language, a vaccine is a substance that stimu lates the human body to produce ANTI-bodies. These antibodies attack and conquer invading germs and viruses. Just ANY antibody won't attack and con quer just ANY germ or virus. A SPECIFIC, antibody is required to attack and conquer a SPE CIFIC germ or virus. The problem in the case of polio was to find the specific vaccine that would stimulate the production in sufficient numbers of the specific antibody that com bats the polio virus. Dr. Salk, after long research, FOUND IT. That is the story in a nutshell. TN PRACTICE, Dr. Salk says, two shots of the vaccine, spaced two to four weeks apart, "prime" the human body to turn out the antibody that combats the invading polio virus. A third, or "booster" shot, he adds, should be given not earlier than se,ven months after the "priming" shots. This booster shot pulls the trigger of the antibody mech anism to flood the bloodstream with the defending antibodies. The immediate problem is to secure as wide immunity as pos sible against polio. Dr. Salk, on the basis of new findings, urges. ful only if it is low-cost power. Unfortunately, partnership would boost the costs of power over Federal operation because of many factors such as the low er interest rates paid by the Fed eral Government, savings .on ad ministrative costs and greater ef ficiency of integrated operation of the Columbia River Power System. that only the two priming shots be given this summer. This would expand the available sup ply to make enough of ' the vac cine available for 45,000,000 children which is almost our entire child population under ten years of age. The National an alysis is prepared IMMEDIATE LY to give 9,000,000 free inocu lations to ALL school children in the first and second grades in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii. This vaccine will be paid for by March of Dimes funds. I think this knowledge will cause every one who gave to the March of Dimes fund to feel that his gift was at least one good deed in his life. T'D LIKE to add a word in con- elusion a word of commend ation for American big business, which over the years is the target for far more brickbats than bouquets. The splendid news that was given to us was faintly fore shadowed quite some time ago in the forward-looking minds of competent scientists. They thought the Salk vaccine had a good chance to be successful. It seemed to them A BIG GAMBLE was warranted. THEY communicated their be lief to the big business in stitutions that produce drugs and medicines. They said, in effect, that if the Salk vaccine was proved a success LARGE quan tities of it would be NEEDED AT ONCE in order to immunize as many American children as possible in as short a space of time as possible. These big concerns listened to them and TOOK THE GAMBLE. They put millions of dollars into the job of producing the vaccine. The result is that enough of it is ready TO DO THE JOB THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. LET'S put it this way: If they hadn't been big, they couldn't have done the job. Ours is a big country, with big problems and big opportunities. Bigness is required to meet these problems and realize these big opportunities. DRUNK FEELS BETTER Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) Charles Murphy, 2, has exper ienced his first hangover. He drank a half pint of whiskey Wednesday when his parents weren't looking but is feeling better after a brief hospital visit. Blind Children Taught Sculpturing Milwaukee (U.R) Blind chil dren are given lessons in sculp turing each Saturday by Gaar Lund, activities director for the Layton Art Gallery extension, and other staff members. The children are given ab stract shapes to hold and study with their fingers. After "see ing'" them, they are given soft clay to fashion into reproduc tions. Pinch pots are made under the direction of the staff and if all goes well, the "sculptors" are allowed free rein in design. Oregon Vacancy May Be Filled Soon Portland (U.R) A federal judge may be appointed some time this month to fill the vac ancy that has existed in Oregon for several months, Jess Gard, Republican nation committee, said today. Gard said he was going to Washington, D.C., this week and that the judgeship appointment would be one of several items he will discuss. Circuit Judge William G. East of Eugene has been prom inently mentioned as a choice for the position. HJ IE ID DUPLICATING MACHINES $3953 $4959 $14950 o SPEED-0-PRINT MODEL L o SPEED-0-PRINT MODEL L o REX-0-GRAPII o A. B.
