o 9 Rep. Coon Repeals Partnership Dam Finance Argument Ontario (U.R) The Coon .r Neuberger power debate went ' Into its second final week at this Eastern Oregon agricultural center last night before about 400 persons. Rep. Sam Coon, Baker Repub lican, repeated his argument that partnership financing of the proposed John Day dam on t h e Columbia river would be the fastest means of getting new power on the line in the North west. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, Portland Democrat, replied that if the dam is built with private .funds the power would cost too much and that it would not at tract as much industry to the region as cheap federal power. Coon again disputed Neuberg er's comparison of kilowatt-hour costs between partnership and federal power and claimed priv ate financing would save the tax payers just that much money. ' Neuberger contended that Coon's plan would wreck the present system of power distri bution through the Northwest Power pool. The two will present the sev - enth in their 10-debate series tonight at Lakeview.

(U.R) Arthur T. Garrow, 51, street inspector for the State Highway depart ment, pleaded guilty " before Circuit Judge Val Sloper yes terday to a charge of malfeas ance in office. He will -be sen tenced Friday. Garrow, one of three men sus pended by the State Highway commission last month, was charged with accepting $180 from a contractor doing business with the commission.

Senate Committee Would Hear Farmers Portland U.R) Farmers, rather than farm organization leaders, will be encouraged to testify before the Senate Agri culture Committee which meets at Pendleton Oct. 31, Sen. Rich ard L.. Neuberger said today. "It is my understanding," Neuberger said in a statement, "that Sen. Allen J. Ellender, committee chairman, feels many agricultural group leaders can get to Washington to present their cviews. For this reason, the committee will want to hear from a cross-section of ranchers and farmers when the hearing takes, place in Pendleton." He said the hearing would be principally concerned with wheat and dairy products prob lems, but other crops would not be excluded. , Thomas Gray, Sardine Creek.

Patrice Munsel In Vegas Role Las Vegas (U.R) Patrice Mun sel, the glamor girl of the Met ropolitan Opera, made her night club debut in a Las Vegas gam bling emporium last night, doing the bumps and grinds in tight pink pants. Patrice followed in the well heeled footsteps of Marguerite Piazza, Helen Traubel and other opera stars who have stepped from the dignity of the Met to try jive on the saloon circui.. Some members of the audience at the New Frontier Hotel voiced the opinion that opera stars should stick to Opera. But most of the crowd cheered the Spokane beauty as she tried popular tunes including a selec tion from the Broadway produc tion, "Can Can." For that song, "The Wrong Time," she stripped behind a screen from, a bouffant black and white gown to $1400 pink satin, jeweled toreador pants and a low-halter top. Then1 she stretched out on . a couch and swung her shapely legs while she sang. Interspersed were a few bumps and grinds that astonish ed the crowd that included Mil ton Berle, Pier Angeli and Vic Damone. There was loud ap plf use. Miss Munsel said her debut was "fun and I wanted to do something hammy and silly.'; She said she decided tossing in the gambling capital after "they offered me so much money." The Met, she said, has not ob jected. The North Dakota Experi ment Station reported that about 75,000 bushels of Selkirk wheat were maded available to North Dakota growers for planting in 1955.

The original building had 16 rooms and three enclosed fireplaces. Henry Smith, , the first innkeeper was a teetotaler who would not maintain a bar. Travelers stopping at the inn had to go to a small building nearby known as the gallon house be cause it sold whiskey in that quantity. .... It was in the tavern that Jack London composed his book "Val ley of the Moon." President Hayes and a party stopped at the inn in 1879 or 1889 accord ing to records. After the building of the Ore gon and California railroad in 1883 the tavern declined in pop ularity and by 1885 0stage ser vice was discontinued.
