(International) A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAH W. NICHOLS United Pratt) tutor. WriMr (, Washington -4U.R) I walked into what Laurence Vail Cole man calls his "hovel" and there he was. . Human Nicholc A distinguish ed looking gen tleman with the eyebrows of John L. Lewis and the hairdo of the lovable Ernie Pyle, meaning no hair in the middle and poking out each way fringewise. Coleman happens, by no acci dent at all, to be director of the American Association of Mu Kums. A very important, non profit organization which looks around to see that the 500 mu seums in the country get copies of all of the dinosaur tracks found around the sections of the world. Not to mention a lot of other things. I had heard much about Lau rence Coleman, and told him I was happy and proud to greet him. But I was a little shocked to see the house he kept in the dignified Smithsonian Institu tion. It looked like a cross be tween a country weekly office, no stranger to me, and some thing out of R. Goldberg. Hang ,ing overhead were the tired old, flea-tested bones of something "out of the Old West. A relic, the . great man said. Wall Organised Lititr Papers and documents were acattered yon and hither. I'm a great man to worry ; about those things, because I general ly scatter them hither and yon, too. "Don't worry, man," said Coleman, "My confusion is well organized." What the museum man want ed to tell me was that during this month the Museum Associa tion is celebrating its 50th birth day. Directors came in from all over, leaders of art, history and industrial museums in the Uni ted States and Canada. That's fine, and I learned that the important work of museums is nothing new to Coleman. He was, as they say, born to it. He was brought up in New York City among the heirlooms" that looked back across nine genera tions. "My earliest recollections," said the dignified old gentleman, 033? i i : There's nothing like VI it for beautiful, smooth ' room decoration.

Want to see some of my dan dies?" I had a look and indeed, and for sure, they were dandies. Author and Collector Coleman went to public schools in New York, then to City College and did some grad uate work in bugs and collection at both Yale and Harvard. Coleman said that collecting things for museums is some thing of an art. , "When you are looking for something old," he said, "you have to know where it can be found 10 years before it can be.'' That sounded a little confus ing to me, and I asked him about it, but he said it was something of a trade secret Coleman has written a lot of real serious books on museums. Once he. visited 500 universities and looked into their back houses, to find things of interest to students of the very old. He had a lot of luck and turned out three fat volumes, which are on file at the Library of Congress. Posterity will bene fit. I asked Coleman if I could meet his staff. We were all alone at the time. He said: "I would like to have you meet my secretary, Bessy, here." "Bessy' turned out to be , a 1919 Royal typewriter, in pretty fine shape for her age. His only "staff." Storage Reservoirs To Lower Maximum Stage of Columbia Portland U.R); Army en gineers said today that through use of major power storage res ervoirs the maximum stage of the Columbia river at Vancou ver, Wash., would be reduced by about two feet and would not exceed 20 feet this week end. Col. L. H. Foote, North Pa cific division engineer, said that' damage at the 20-foot stage would be nominal. Reservoirs at Grand Coulee on the Columbia and Hungry Horse on the south fork of the Flathead river have been storing water throughout the seasonal rise under supervision of the water control branch of the Corps of Engineers' division of fice. No Effect en Flood Stage - Col. Foote said McNary and Bonneville dams, both of which are run-of-the-river projects, have no effect on flood stages down river. The outlet gates at these dams are operated only to obtain proper head for power production and no percentable increase or decrease in river elevations downstream results from this operation. Grand Coulee reservoir con tributed about 1.5 feet to the lower river stage reduction and Hungry Horse about 0.5 feet. Roseburg Youth Dies On Duty in England Roseburg (U.PJ Word has been received here of the death of Pfc Wayne A. Pollard, 20, of Roseburg, while stationed with the U.S: Army in England.

McAndrews Phone 2-4107 UAW Will Press For Separate Pad With Body Makers Milwaukee, Wis. (U.PJ A CIO United Auto Workers dele gation arrived today to press talks for a new separate contract at the Milwaukee body plant of American Motors Corp. The delegation adjourned talk with the company in Detroiw Wednesday after two days of negotiations on a contract for the majority of AMC's workers in Michigan, California and Wis consin. Expires Aug. 12 The majority of the workers are covered by a master contract which expires Aug. 12 but the workers at the body plant are covered by a separate contract which expires July 1. The union recessed its Detroit talks until Tuesday after prom ising to consider "all pertaining economic facts" in negotiating a new contract with American Mo tors, the first of the auto indust ry's "Little Three" to discuss a new contract with the union this year. Leonard Woodcock, UAW vice president in charge of the Amer ican Motors Department, has said the union would seek a "full wage guarantee" from AMC. Union demands for a 100 per cent wage guarantee for 52 weeks a year were reduced to 60 to 65 per cent of full pay for 26 weeks before Ford and GM reached agreements with the union. Observers in Detroit said the union may have presented its demands to AMC negotiations in a secret session before leaving for the talks here. They reason ed that this would give the com pany time to study the union demand while the negotiators are working on the body plant contract.
