Coon Admits Technical Advice on
Preparation of John Day Dam Bill
Bv A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington (Special) Rep.
Sam Coon (R-Ore.) had "expert
technical consultation during the
preparation of the bill" he is
sponsoring for "partnership"
construction of John Day dam,
but any suggestion that he play
ed no part in drafting the bill
is "false," declared Coon.

Wright Brothers'
Airplane in Need
m ii.... ii. .
ui new nume
. Washington CU.R) The fragile
plane in which man first flew
at Kitty Hawk needs a home.
The Wright Brothers' plane
now dangles from a rafter above
cases displaying military swords
at the Smithsonian Institution
here.
Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis
hangs by a collection of dresses
once worn by presidents' wives.
And the early sailplane, Falcon,
looks down on an assortment of
quilts and laces.
Still other planes, marking
milestones in aviation history,
along with flight clothing, navi
gation equipment and other
memorabilia of man's conquest
of the air are crammed into odd
corners of Smithsonian build
ings. Nine years ago Congress set
up the National Air Museum
a permanent "home" for these
planes to "memorialize the na
tional development of aviation."
The museum was to inherit the
aviation collection of the Smith
sonian. The plan envisaged a
fine building which would be
come a national showplace.
Some Progress
Today, nine years later, more
than 8,500 items have been
gathered, but the aviation ex
hibits are still at the Smith
sonian. However, progress is being
made. The Smithsonian has
made application for land in
southwestern Washington. If it
is granted, the drive for con
struction funds will begin in
earnest.
The current tentative archi
tects' sketches feature a group
of buildings in the form of a
huge airplane.
The fuselage of the "air
plane" is envisioned as a con
course. The Wright Brothers'
plane is to be displayed in a
place of honor. A full-size "you
are there" diorama depicting
the moment the plane rose into
the air is planned.
In the drawings, the central
airplane - designed building is
flanked by several smaller units.
One would have push-button ex
hibits illustrating every thing
from how a kite flies to the
cause of the "boom" created by
penetration of the sound bar
rier. But until these plans become
actual buildings, one thing is
certain. Aviation enthusiasts will
continue to view the Falcon and
old lace together.

congressman's reaction to a
newspaper story reporting that
the inspiration for a scheduled
series of debates between Coon
and Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) stemmed from a doubt
in Neuberger's mind that Coon
was author of his own bill.
Both Charges Said False
"It was said that I had no part
in the preparation of the legisla
tion and further, that informa
tion on the legislation is being
prepared by some agency other
than this office," said Coon in
a prepared statement.
"I wish to categorically state
that both of these charges are
false," said Coon. "Of course, I
had expert technical consulta
tion during the preparation of
the bill. No one person is well
enough informed on technical
matters to draw up a bill as com
plex as the John Day legislation
without expert technical advice.
This can be said of every im
portant bill ever introduced."
Coon did not identify his tech
nical advisers. It is understood
the bill was worked out by the
three private power companies
that announced simultaneously
with Coon's introduction of the
bill their willingness to put up
88 per cent of the money to
Flying Finns Said
Spread-Eagled to Bed
Springfield, Mo. -U.R) The
attorney for the imprisoned Finn
twins has charged that the two
were "spread-eagled" on their
hospital beds by guards he called
"the goon squad," in order to
force them to take food.
Joseph Scott, Los Angeles, in
terviewed the twins, George and
Charles Finn, at the Federal
Medical Center here for about
an hour today.
4 Afterwards he told reporters
that the twins told him that
every morning squads came to
their beds and strapped their
wrists and ankles with "leather
collar." If they refuse to eat,
"someone sits on their chests
and they are fed forcibly" he
said. '
Scott said he was told the
brothers, under one-year sen
tences for interfering with a Los
Angeles federal officer, often are
involved in "incidents" with
the guards. t
"The big heavy jailers over
power them in spite of their re
sistance," he said.

build John Day on a "partner
ship" basis the utilities financ
ing the power features of the
project, the government paying
for the flood control and naviga
tion features.
"Regardless of who wrote the
John Day bill," added Coon, "or
who did the typing, the impor
tant thing is to understand what
the legislation contains. This is
certainly true if a person is go
ing to debate the bill. The John
Day bill is a good, sound pro
posal which will do a' lot of good
for Oregon in bringing needed
power to the district and in cre
ating jobs for our people."
Debate Bids Extended
After '. Neuberger challenged
Coon to debate his bill face-to-
face in Oregon this fall after
Congress has adjourned, groups
in Portland, Pendleton, Baker,
Hood River, LaGrande and On
tario put in bids to provide the
lawmakers a forum for their en
counter. Both have accepted, al
though no dates have yet been
set.
In claiming that members of
Congress generally obtain expert
advice in drafting bills, Coon
said he was "willing to concede,
however, that Senator Neuberg
er had no expert advice on some
of his proposals, especially the
ones which deal with squirrels
on the White House lawn and
candidates for political office
using face powder on televi
sion." The GOP congressman said he
was under the impression Neu
berger had come out against his
bill shortly after he introduced
it in April but that "he had not
read the bill." Coon added: "I
hope that he gets around to read
ing it some day."
Presidents? Birthdays
Observed by Children
Rochester, N. Y. (UJ?) It may
not be. too surprising if one of
the children of Edward and Vir
ginia Fleche grows up to be
president.
The couple's oldest boy, Tim
othy, seven, was born on Oct. 27
the late Theodore Roosevelt's
birthday.
Michael, three, was born on
Feb. 22 George Washington's
birthday.
Peter, one, was born Feb. 12
Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
The Fleches first daughter,
Ellen Marie, got into the act this
year. But it involved some dupli
cation. She, like brother Michael,
was born on Feb. 22.

Written for the United Press
Hollywood 0J.R) I be
lieve a woman has to reach a
certain age before she apprec
iates and I mean the word
appreciates in every sense the
opposite sex.
There are very few interest
ing men under 65. The biggest
charge and the most enchant
ing evenings I have ever spent
in my life have been with gentle
men who are usually considered
middle-aged, or more so.
I was fortunate enough to snag
a gentleman very near my own
age who, through some miscal
culation of father time, breathes
all the poetry, charm and grace
of another time TV produc
er William Spier.
I'm not saying there aren't
other available. There are for
the discerning- woman, for the
woman who's willing to take
time to search for such a man,
and who recognizes such a man
when she sees him. I'm afraid
there aren't many of us left.
My best beau a few years
ago was a dreamboat pixie nam
ed Sir Charles Mendl. We went
steady for six months or so. He
took me to the beach where
he planted his feet firmly in
the surf, disregarding the wave
lets that came and went, there
by causing him to sway a little
more than a man of lesser con
fidence would have countenanc
ed. Charles sang to the open sea,
to the sand, to the glorious day
and to me. His wit was gentle
but nonetheless devastating. His

charm radiant. He was and is a
gallant. My idea of a perfect
date.
Then Louis Verneuil, who told
such delightful stories and act
ed them out with such finesse,
gaiety and sparkle, that I shall
as long as I live remember Louis
as one of the gentlemen I would
rather be with than any of my
contemporaries.
Men are lovely creatures, but
something's happened to them.
How I wish nature would pro
duce more of the undeniable
attractive gentlemen of Sir
Charles' and Louis' vintage.
Reginald Owen is mother
lambchop, apple-tart and dream
companion. When at dinner
instead of appraising the young
er man present I always
search for the shiny head, the
silver hair and the twinkling
eyes. It makes for a much more
interesting evening. I learn
things I couldn't possibly learn
from younger men all my
best quotes, all my best think
ing, all my best humor and also
whatever philosophy I may have
acquired through my good
luck at being chosen compan
ion and friend of Sir Charles,
Louis Verneuil, Reginald Owen
and other cavaliers in that age
group.
Bless 'em, I say! May all the
younger men of the world grow
into such dream boats, such apple-tarts,
such lambchops as
they.
