Trinity Project Gets
United Backing From
Northwest Delegation
BY A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington (Special) Pa
cific Northwest congressmen
were united in voting for a
major new West Coast reclama
tion project approved last week
by the House and sent on to the
Senate.
It was the Trinity River irri
gation and power development
just south of the Oregon-California
border west of Shasta
dam a project that would ex
tend the Central Valley Project
of California, possibly by in
clusion of aunique "partner
ship" power agreement with Pa
cific Gas and Electric Co.
The bill passed by the House
was not actually a "partnership"
bill, for it gave federal authori
zation to the entire project but
it included a request that the
Interior Department report to
Congress within 18 months of
the feasibility of having the
power features of the project de
veloped by non-federal agencies.
This was to cover the possibility
that the Eisenhower administra
tion might endorse a proposal ad
vanced by PG and E to build
the powerhouses and gain the
kilowatt output in return for
paying the government a falling
water rate for the water released
through its turbines from the
federally-financed dams.
All four Oregon representa
tives were joined by the Wash
ington state delegation in sup
porting the Trinity River bill,
authorizing $225,000,000 to be
spent to provide 70,000 acre-
feet of water.
There was unity among the
region's , lawmaker's on two
other issues last week that came
to a vote in the House: they all
supported the bill to raise sal
aries of government civil service
employees; and they approved a
resolution to send a delegation
from Congress to attend the
North Atlantic Parliamentary
Conference in Paris in July.
There was disagreement
among the congressmen on a
new tariff bill asked by Presi
dent Eisenhower which ran into
' some opposition chiefly from
the Republican party. It was a
measure designed to change
methods of putting a value on
imports, having the effect of re
ducing ad valorem duties to
some extent.
Some critics called it a greater
tariff reduction bill than the re
ciprocal trade act, but defenders
replied that it would affect only
a small portion of imports. The
House passed it by voice after a
move to kill its main provision
was voted down 232-143. Repre
sentatives who voted with the
COP-led move to kill this clause
were: Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.)
and Rep. Russell Mack (R-Wash.).
Those who joined in the major
ity action to approve the bill
as requested by Eisenhower
were: Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.),
Hal Holmes and Tom Pelly (R
Wash.) and Don Magnuson (D
Wash.). Reps. Harris Ellsworth, Walter
Norblad (R-Ore.) and Walt Horan
and Thor Tollefson (R-Wash.) did
not cast a vote.
In the Senate all four Demo
crats from the Pacific Northwest
teamed up in helping give Eisen
hower his first defeat on a mili
tary issue since he became presi
dent, blocking the administra
tion's attempt to cutback the
sizes of the Marine Corps, by 22,
000 men.
This issue developed in con
nection with the Defense De
partment budget bill, which
under the Eisenhower budget
would have called for the Ma
rine Corps, reduction.' Sen. Sym
ington led the Democratic revolt
against this by putting through
a $46,000,000 increase to finance
the 22,000 troops in question. It
was adopted 40-39.
Sens. Wayne Morse, Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) and War
ren G. Magnuson and Henry M,.,
Jackson (D-Wash.) agreed also
in opposing the McCarthy reso
lution which would have asked
for certain advance commit
ments from Russia prior to the
planned "meeting at the sum
mit" of the Big Four powers at
Geneva. The resolution was
beaten by a 77-4 vote.
On another foreign policy
question, all four senators sup
ported ratification of the Aus
trian state treaty to re-establish
that country as a sovereign, in
dependent and democratic nation.

U.S. had 26 per cent of the world

good cook knows:
Just a little difference in ingredients
makes a big difference in cooking results
Snowdrift is just a little lighter than any other shortening
and that can make the big difference in giving your

Snowdrift is pre-whipped just
a little longer than ordinary
shortenings. That can make
the big difference in quicker

texture every time.
Snowdrift's ingredients axe just
a little costlier than any other
solid shortening's (yet you pay

big difference in better tasting
foods, whether baked- or fried.
No other shortening at any price is
so creamy, so digestible and so light!

Gusher Opens New
Era in Brazil's
Petroleum History
Rio De Janeiro (U.R)
The black plume of pertoleum
that gushed over the green Am
azon forest at Nova Olinda in
the predawn hours of March 13
unquestionably opened a new
era in Brazil's turbulent petrol
eum history-
But many Brazilians are al
ready wondering if the new era
will bring fruition or frustra
tion in the struggle to reach nat
ional self-sufficiency in petrol
eum and its products.
The dramatic news of the Am
azon oil strike the first ma
terial proof that petroleum exists
in Brazil outside the small Bahia
fields brought popular mani
festations of joy packed with
the nationalist sentiment that
has always been connected with
the petroleum question in Brazil.
Riding the wave of popular
feeling, the Nationlist bloc in
the Senate which asserts that
Brazil can and should conduct
its petroleum development sing
dehanded, struck down by a
vote of 36 to 5 a bill that would
have permitted private capital
to particpate in the oil business.
Arguments Against
t The Senate vote buried anv
possibility for the moment of
re-opening the debate on whe
ther Brazil stands to gain more
by going it alone in its fight to
satisfy its voracious, exchange
consuming oil appetite than by
inviting private and foreign cap
ital to help in return for reason
able profits.
In a special message to the
Senate before the vote, Petrob
ras, the government - controlled
National Oil Monopoly Corpora
tion, attacked the bill, which
would have permitted territor
ial franchises for Brazilian
organized private companies.
This, the Petrobras message
said, would only slow up the ex
ploration for Brazilian oil "be
cause the international trusts
have always looked on Brazil
primarily as an oil-consuming
market, which is now endanger
ed by the national refiners and
the discovery of national oil
fields."
The message added that the
best offer Brazil has received
from a foreign company for oil
development consisted in an
investment of 200,000,000 cruz
eiros ($10,000,000) over a 10
year period, far less than Pet
robas plans to invest annually.
Dangers Cited
Senators who supported the
bill and a large segment of the
press re-stated the arguments
that time is an essential factor
in the oil question, with Brazil
spending more than $20,000,000
monthy in crude and derivaties.
A greater investment of captial
than Brazil can muster is needed
immediately, they said.
Correio da Manha deplored
the emotional opportunism of
the oppnents of the bill, and in
sisted that the discovery of Am
azon oil in no way "proved" the
Nationalist argument but only
increased the need to re-examine
Brazil's national monopoly oil
law.
"If the Nationalists are wrong
in their belief that we can go it
alone, the existence of oil at
Nova Olinda doesn't change a
thing and only adds the element
of frustration," the newspaper
said editorially.
But for the time beins. there
is no question that Brazil is go
ing ahead on its own.
