ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington (Special) The g respective debate between Sen. ichard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) and Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) on the question of Coon's John Day dam "partnership" bill was born Jn the mind of Neuberger along ide a lingering doubt that Coon really knew what he was pro posing for the big Columbia river dam. ' It all began many weeks ago when a lobbyist at Salem for one of the private power companies Washington (U.R) Rep. Bam Coon (R-Ore.) said Satur day the administration has en dorsed his bill for partial fi nancing "of John Day dam on the Columbia rirer by private capital. A Budget Bureau report on the bill, he said, says it is in accord with the President's program and would "provide a means of increasing the sup ply of hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest."

As It turned out, Coon hasn't made the speech that day or in troduced the bill. Over a week later, however, he did make it on April 21 and unveiled the new John Day proposal. Simul taneously in Portland, officials of three utility companies, Pa cific Power and Light, Portland General Electric and Washing ton Water Power, announced de tails of the scheme under which they would put up the cost of the power investment in the rnulti-purpose project as provid ed in Coon's bill. The highly complex bill and a section-by-section analysis, to gether with Coon's speech, were handed out to reporters here by a representative of one of the power companies, indicating clearly they had not been pre- Gold Hill Gold Hill Mrs. Iola Beman who has been visiting with her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Al Beman, Carmel, Calif., has returned home.

CLOSED WEDNESDAY PHONE 5-9230 GOLD HILL By Jimmy Hatlo pared by the congressman from Baker. When Neuberger came out against the new "partnership" bill, Coon struck back with a prepared statement in which he called Neuberger and Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) "Oregon's keep away senators." He charged the Democrats, who want the fed eral government to build John Day, with trying to block con struction of the project "to use it as a political issue in their 1956 campaign." Neuberger became convinced that Coon wasn't the author of his own press releases but was having them written for him, which led him to wonder whether Coon knew what he was talking about concerning John Day dam. He decided the way to find out was challenge him to a debate. "It seems to me the public is entitled to facts and not to epithets and name-calling," Neu berger told Coon in a letter bear ing his challenge. When the Pendleton junior chamber of commerce and the Ontario chamber jumped in with invitations to both lawmakers, and both accepted, the debate was set. Coon suggested one res ervation and if the bill has been enacted into law by fall, it will be a moot question for pub lic debate. Even the congress man concedes, however, that it would take a miracle to speed it through both chambers before the summer adjournment. No hearings have been held yet on the bill in the House, and no one has introduced it in the Senate where Neuberger and Morse have vowed to fight it. When Neuberger suggested mat it iooKea like coon was trying to dodge his challenge, Coon declared: "I'll be glad to meet him anytime, any place, at any crossroads in eastern Ore gon." Neuberger, who writes his own speeches but doubts that Coon does, said he was gratified that the prospects are good for the face-to-face debate being held. "We'll get him out in the mid dle of the ring, away from his handlers, and then see how he does," declared Neuberger. Both Coon and Neuberger say their debate will be limited to the eastern side of the Cascades, the -district Coon represents in the House. All the state needs to complete the picture would be a western Oregon series of de bates between Morse and Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.). Ellsworth came out punching at Morse and Neuberger even be fore Coon, calling their hard and fast stand in behalf of federal power development a "reaction ary" attitude. He, too, is spon soring a "partnership" bill for Cougar and Green Peter dams which is opposed by Morse and Neuberger. Though they often exchange political potshots through press releases, Morse and Ellsworth have never debat ed face-to-face. Douglas, Ariz., and completed ever 40 years of membership in the order.

Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Several years ago while listen ing to a radio talk on meteorites by the late Dr. Clyde Fisher of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, I heard this noted scientist say that people from all over this country sent to his staff specimens which they wanted identified as meteorites. "You should see the collection we got! Folks send us the darnedest things you can imagine." During the past 23 years I have been "running the mete ors" over a few far western states for Dr. C. P. Oliver of the University of Pennsylvania and president of the American Me teor society. Through these years I have likely received fully 1, 000 "suspected" meteorites. All are always carefully inspected and tested. If they show the least likelihood of being "the real thing," they are sent to national experts for further checking. Only four (0.4 of 1 per cent) were meteoritic. Two Misplaced Pieces Of these four, two were mis placed pieces from the noted meteor crater in Arizona, nu merous specimens of which are extant. Another was a further find of the Sam's Valley fall. Only one was brand new. This was the one found by Jerry Best at Washougal, Wash., on July 3, 1939, the day after the daylight meteor roared over Portland, Oregon, and caused so much con- Sams Valley Eighth Grade Promotion Exercises Tuesday Sams Valley The Sams Val ley eighth grade promotion ex ercises will be held Tuesday, May 31, at the Sams Valley Grange hall at 8 p.m. The guest speaker will be Jennings Pierce, Medford.

My ' collection of "suspects" surely resembles that received by Dr. Fisher. The most common material received is lava. Almost as numerous are clinkers from fires where the air supply has not been sufficient in some parts. The clinkers especially are full of holes and are extremely light in weight. The senders are cor rect that both'types seem to have encountered great heat. Many are reported to have been seen falling in flames from the sky. Pieces of granite are often re ceived. Garnet schist, obsidian, petrified wood, basalt, shale, thunder eggs and various iron oxides are quite common. Real Meteorites Different Real meteorites are very dif ferent from any of the above mentioned materials. When freshly fallen, the thin charac teristic "fusion crust" is quite evident. This is usually dark in color. The few seconds the ob jects spend in the atmosphere, where heating by friction takes place, are sufficient only to melt and sear the outer surfaces. The interiors are usually not af fected. Meteorites are never light and porous, but are solid and heavy. There are three distinct types. The metallic meteorites are an alloy of iron and nickel, the iron greatly predominating. If the dark crust is removed, the interior metal has a. silvery ap pearance. Stony meteorites are silvery grains of nickel-iron showing abundantly in a cut and polished face. The intermediate type, the stony metal, is the rarest and most beautiful of all. A cut face shows a sort of honey comb network of silvery nickel iron in which are embedded crystals of olivene of striking colors.
